TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING

The letter elsewhere from Mr.. E.
c. Mcleod, one of the pioneer road
builders of Marion county, deserves
attention. The Star does not agree
with Mac" tho it comedies there is
merit in what he says. 1t is true
that water transportation is too slow
for many things, but it is plenty fast
enough for others, and for all the
crookedness of the Oklawaha, a thou
sand pounds of freight can be
brought from Jacksonville to Silver
Springs by boat much cheaper than
it can be brought by rail to Ocala,
about half the distance. 1t has been
the Stars opinion that the usefulness
as a port of Palatka, sixty miles
nearer than Jacksonville, has only
begun, instead, as some think, ended.
The Star believes that ocean steam
ers will tie up at the Palatka docks
! in years to come, and fast launches
and slower but steady freight boats
will go and come with cargoes all
thru the Oklawaha and upper ST.
Johns regions. The Star is not any
too friendly to the idea of the gov
| eminent appropriating money by
! wholesale for good roads building.
| 1t has been the recognized policy of
| the nation for the general govern
ment to look after the rivers and
| harbors and to let the states and
counties look after their own roads,
and the Star can see no reason why
this shouldn't continue. The policy
! of having the government do every
thing is becoming entirely too prev
alent, and if it keeps on increasing
in proportion, it will become impos-
sible in a few more years to fill a
hole in a city street without asking
an appropriation from Washington.

BLOOD AND DOODLE

The British house of lords is the
champion blue ribbon fraud of the
place to any merit of his own.
The older peerages, few of them
reaching back to the conquest, were
given to men who showed their SUI
periority to other men in the art of
cutting threats and smashing heads
hundreds of years ago. Most of the
later ones have been given to men
who bought their titles either with
money or political support. Here
and there, at rare intervals, may be
found one given to some scientist or
public benefactor, but these are as
scarce as snowstorms in Hades.

UNWISE TO THEIR INTERESTS
Many Farmers Do Not Appreciate

Berlin, Fla. Feb. "a, 1914
Mr. David Kirkland:
Dear Sir: | have read your arti-
Gle on demonstration work and its
results in California and the same
is applicable in Marion county.
To illustrate this The farmers
almost lost their entire crop of oats
last year. | took the matter up with
the department TO see if something
couldn't be suggested TO prevent
this. The department forwarded me
some two hundred circulars, giving
instructions how to treat the oat
in the west to prevent rust and
smut. | handed and mailed out
some two hundred of these circulars,
but find only small percentage,
possibly eight or ten, who used it,
and now the oats are beginning to
show signs of rust, but it's too late
1 asked one very intelligent farm
er, some few weeks ago, if he treat
ed his oat seed before planting His
reply was: He was in a hurry and
didn't have time or the money" But
when l told him the Formaline
wouldn't have cost him over three
cents per bushel to have treated his
oats, he was perfectly surprised
1t showed conclusively that he had
not even read the instructions. The
government is trying to help the
farmers, but we are skeptical and
think these instructions are theoreti-
cal and not practical.
/ will have in few days, lot of
farmers bulletins, No 243, on fungi
cides for preventing diseases in
plants and trees. I am going to dis
tribute them especially among the
cantaloupe growers and hope few
at least will give this a fair trial and
report the results.

PROHIBITION Is A PRIVILEGE

Columbia, S. c., State: We are
perfectly aware that this is an old
subject and that the point of view
is almost as old.
Yet let US make a note of the fact
that when the New York Giants"
were entertained in Paris by George
kessler, rare old wines were serv-
ed, but remained untouched by the
players
In other words, baseball is a Sc
rious business, and these men who
are to play baseball this spring and
summer are seriously on their job,
even though, for the moment, they
be junketing on a worlds tour
abroad. Twenty years ago a base
ball team so circumstance would
not have left their glasses untouch-
ed; rather, they would have kept
the butler and all his assistants busy
with hurry calls to the cellar. Why
the change, except as indicating that
baseball has become a serious bust
ness, and that the serious men of
baseball have decided that they have
wine-cup?
1t would be a happy day for the
country and every community af-
fiicted by this question of liquor in
any Of its aspects, could the people
who have taken a social glass, who
have therefore concluded that the
way to do good is TO keep their
brother from taking one, come to
understand that whether their broth
er takes one or not does not re-
motely depend on what they think
about it, or on any law that their in
genuity can devise. 1t depends ex-
actly on what this brother wishes to
40 with himself. If he would be
'ball-player, he must leave his glass
untouched. If he would be an en-
gineer, he must keep his nerves in
tune. If he would be a banker, or
lawyer, he must be either powerful
or a genius and preeminent, else he
can not drink. In other words, the
drink question is settling itself. 1t
is coming to be a privilege, instead
of right, to- drink. The man who
has beaten his way forward, who
has attained his independence of
whatever sort, may, as a vanity, af-
ford to indulge a habit that harms
nobody but himself, who can not, in
the circumstances, be harmed. The
man who has to make his way every
year suffers more and more if he Of
fend, by the presumption of drink
ing, these privileged people who
have earned-mostly through initial
| abstineence-the right to do so. In
such circumstances, the man who is
on the climb and the march, like
the members of the Giants" will
prefer not to drink till he has time
and, when he has it, he will be most
! apt to neglect a privilege that he
does not care to avail himself of.
The writer recently travelled five
| hundred miles on Pullman cars and
never saw bottle of whisky, mol
even a glass Of beer on dining cal
| table. The circumstance made the
frenzy of prohibition, now breaking
out like measles in several places
seem very vague and far away. Blu
all these people were travelling or
business, and if they wanted tt
drink, they did not have the time
The greatest ally of practical prohi
bition in the world is work to do and
an interest in it that is even more
