THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES

We surrender a great deal of our
space today to the publication of the
essays of the High School graduates.
Some of these essays are unusually
long, but they are likewise unusually
thoughtful and interesting produc-
tons. ~
In their preparation the graduates
have reflected infinite honor upon
themselves and upon their alma ma
ter.
Where all are so clever and show so
much merit, industry and talent. it
would be invidious to distinguish be-
tween them, but we cannot refrain
from saying that the "Class Poem" is
a classic; that we believe that Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, the great Apostle
of Peace, would be proud of the one
entitled, "The Dawn of the Worlds
Peace" and the young authoress
should strive for the Noble prize.
Those of us who have striven to pre-
sent the beauties and possibilities of
Florida in attractive form and vivid
coloring, would be proud of the pro-
duction entitled, Florida, Yesterday
and Today"
The one entitled, "The Humble ORR
gin of Great Men" stamps the young
author as one of our coming men"
and if he keeps on as he has begun he
will well deserve to be the successor
of William Jennings Bryan as the ed
itor of the Commoner.
The "Class WILL" the 'Class His
tory" and and the Glass Prophecy
the splendid tribute to the genius OF
sidney Lanier." and, indeed, all the
essays are admirable productions, and
the Ocala Banner is gloriously proud
of the Ocala High School graduating
class of 1914

TO THE PUBLIC

1t is being circulated that, in my
candidacy for county commissioner
from district number three, l am the
candidate of the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club of Ocala. This report has
not the slightest foundation in fact.
While I would not consider 1t a dis
grace or a sin to have the good will
and support of the members of the
club, among whom are many valuable
friends. men of high character and
lofty purpose. and as good democrats
as live, I make this denial for the ben
eft of those who might be- misinform-
ed as to the purposes of the club and
the character of its membership.
NV consent to become a candidate
and tn enter the race was obtained
anlv after numerous and repeated So
licitations by many citizens of my dis
trjct. and not by one who was known
to me to be a member of the club; and
I hoped the contest would be a pleas
ant one among gentlemen and friends,
unattended by any effort to mislead
and deceive.
Respectfully,
S. r. PYLES,
Candidate County Com.r.. Dist. No. 8.

God bless the flag! Let it float and
fill
The sky with its beauty; our heart
strings thrill
To the low, sweet chant of its wind
swept bars,
And the chorus of all its clustered
stars.
Embrace it, o mothers! and heroes
shall grow,
While its colors blush warm on your
bosom cf snow.
Defend it o fathers; there's no sweet
er death
Than to float its fair folds with a sol
dier's last breath!
And love it, o children! be true to
the sires
Who wove it in plain by the old camp
fires.
