ESSAY ON THE EDITOR

A school boy was asked to write an
article on the editor, and here it is:
/ don't know how newspapers came
to be in the world, and | don't think
God knows, for he amt got nothing
to say about them in the Bible. |

we read of, and strayed in the woods
until the flood came and then came
cut and wrote the things up, and has
been here ever since. don't think
he ever died. never saw dead one,
and never heard of one getting licked.
Our paper is mighty good one, but
the editor goes without underclothes
all winter and he don't wear any sox,
and pa amt paid his subscription
since the paper started. | asked pa if
that was why the editor had to suck
the juice out of oranges in the win

shirt washed in summer Then pa
got mad and took me out in the wood

the editor makes mistakes folks say
he ought to be hanged; but if the doc
tor makes any mistakes he buries
them and people dassent say a word
because doctors can read and write
Latin. When the editor makes mis-
takes there is lawsuits, and swearing
and big fuss, but if the doctor makes
one there is funeral, cut flowers
and perfect silence A doctor can use

VETERANS ELECT COMMANDER

The most important business of the
Confederate Veterans reunion was
disposed of this afternoon when John
III. Roseborough of Gainesville was
chosen as commander of the Florida
Division, U. G. V.
When nominations were called for,
Gen. H. w. Long of Marion county, in
an eloquent speech presented the
name of John H. Roseborough of
Alachua county. The nomination was
seconded by Gen. B. w. Partridge.
Gen. J. D. Allen of Lakeland placed
in nomination H. H. Duncan of Ia
wares. Mr.. Duncan's nomination was
seconded by Gen. e. M. Law.
Col. F. NJ. Ironmonger nominated
Gen. A. D. Williams of Jacksonville.
This nomination was eloquently Sec
onded by Capt James Chesser.
Gen. Williams thanked the con-
vention for the honor of the nomina-
ton, but asked that he be permitted
to withdraw his name.
The ballot was then taken, result
ing as follows:
Roseborough, 81.
Duncan, %.
General Duncan moved that the
vote be made unanimous for General
Roseborough, which, was done amid
much enthusiasm.
This mornings session of the Vet
Grams was marked by the election of
brigade commanders as follows:
First Brigade-Alfred Aver, Ocala.
Second Brigade-S. NJ. Robinson,
Chipley.
Third Brigade. D. Allen, Lake
land.
The people of Lakeland are highly
pleased that one of their citizens has
thus been honored, and will take
pleasure hereafter in substituting
general for colonel when addressing
General Allen, who is one of the most
gallant and honored soldiers the Con-
federacy ever knew.
The shadow of tragedy was spread
over the meeting of the Confederate
Veterans this morning, when, short
ly after the business session was call
ed to order in the Auditorium, A. s.
McGregor of Tampa, one of the Vet
Grams, fell dead on the steps of the
building.-Thursday's Lakeland Tele-
gram.

TIME TO CALL A HALT
Ocala, Fla, Oct. 20, 1914.
To {Ia Edito. OoaIa PaOnor.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
The cost of militarism, in time of
peace, in the twenty-one leading ma
tions of the world, is, in round num-
bers, $S,0O0,0OO,000 per year. Allow
ing $3.50 per student, this amount of
money would keep thirty-two million
students in college for one year. This
sum, worse than wasted annually to
be preparation Slaughter-is
equal to a loss by fire, burning day
and night throughout the year, de-
vouring seven homes per minute, each
home worth $1,000, and each home
containing $475 worth of furniture.
Now read that last sentence over
again, and then you will see the awful
cost of simply being prepared" for
war.
In his famous poem, "The Arsenal
at Springfield Henry w. Longfel-
low said:
Were half the power that fills the
world with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on
camps and courts,
Given to redeem the world from error,
There would be no need for arsen-
ais and forts"
Lonfgellow's plea was that we
should utilize the vast sums of money
spent on maintaining engines of muir
der for educational purposes, and let
the engines of murder go hang. Let us
see how the liberty loving United
States is carrying out this idea:
For every dollar spent on education
in the United States one dollar and
twenty-five cents goes into the main
tenance of Americas army and navy.
The direct result of this criminal mis-
handling of the nations money is that
the public schools of America are
crowded and running over, and pupils
being turned away because of insult
ficient appropriations for school

the leaving the profession in disgust
because of miserably low salaries. So
little is spent on investigation of
teaching methods that ninety-nine out
of a hundred pupils who come away
from school as graduates cannot give
the name of a single great American
scientist or inventor, while seventy

paper. Every school boy in Florida

son Ca very brave mani, but how
many of them know who discovered

Here is a scientist who was the means
of saving lives, not taking them; yet
our foolish hastily written histories

William T. Harris, formerly nation
al commissioner of education, says:
States, more than 76 in every 100 new
er enter even the first year of the
high schools, or schools of the high |
school grade." Why? Our govern
ment is robbing the schools to build |
battleships. We should retire to pri-
vate life our congressman who vote
for two battleships year." and fill
their places with men who will vote
for two colleges year.
And, finally, let those who think we
should continue this policy of de-
struction, consider this fact: The war
debts of the world now amount to over
$4,000, 100000, almost three times the
total amount of cash in the entire
world.

MOVING PICTURE FAKES.
How Trick Films, Showing Impossible
Effects, Are Produced.

The stop camera is the medium
by which a great many clever trick
films are taken. First of all film
consists of series of still photo
graphs, each about half an inch in
depth, which are both photograph
ed and thrown upon the screen at
normal speed of sixteen per second.
The stop camera, however, is SO ar
ranged that one single frame Of the
film may be exposed, the camera
stopped and alterations made, only
the effects of which are filmed.
A man is knocked down and APP
parently run over by steam roller,
but as soon as it is off him he rises
and walks away full of life. This
is how such picture is taken: The
stop camera films the man being
knocked down by the steam roller,
the knockingdown part being clev-
er acrobatic feat, and then the cam.
era is stopped, the real man slips
out of ''the lines,'' dummy is sub.
stituted, the camera gets going
again, but the film shows no break.
When the steam roller has passed
over the dummy the camera is stop
ped, the dummy removed, and the
real man lies down in it's place, aft
erward to jump up in very lifelike
manner.
Another variety of trick film
that has long mystifed picture 60.
ers is that of the bricklayer who
falls from the top of skyscraper
into the street below, apparently
without being any the worse for it.
His legs, arms and head scattered
on the pavement mysteriously re-
assemble, allowing the bricklayer to
get up and walk away. Exactly the
same procedure is used, the top Of
the skyscraper usually being erect
ed in the studio and backed up by
cleverly painted scenery. The cam.
era records the mans fall up to
certain point and then stops, while
the man is safely caught in net
hidden below. The next scene is in
the street and shows the dummy
crashing to the ground, the parts
detaching themselves on concus-
! sion. The reassembling is done by
means of invisible wires; then the
camera is stopped and the real man
substituted, and one leans back and
says: Marvellous! How on earth is
it done?"
Occasionally one sees motorcars
climb up bare walls-a seemingly
impossible feat. The wall is piece
Of painted scenery laid upon the
studio floor. The car drives over it
while the camera is placed up
above. When the film is in its nat
ural position it appears as if the
car were running up perfectly per
pendicular wall.-Pearson's Weekly

A Divided VILLAGE.

In the reimbursement of boundaries
after the Franco Prussian war the lit
tie village Of La Schlucht was divided
between the two nations. France and
Germany meet in the middle OF the
main street, and as the boundary line
follows slanting course it is possible
for q French and German soldier to
pose for a joint photograph. each re
naming within his own territory.
