Olden Fluctuations.

In the early days of their craft, com.
positors had no need TO worry about
quotation marks. Punctuation was
then OF the simplest. consisting only
Of an oblique line and full stop. The
first book to introduce the colon and
notes OF interrogation and exclama-
tion appears to have been a "Lactanti-
u.s." printed at a monastery near Rome
in 1865. Title pages were also un-
known in those early days. The books
started straight of with Here begin
meth" en- authors or publishers name
being prefixed. This causes much diff
ficulty in sttributirg early work TO
the proper sources.

ALL HATS OFF TO CITRUS AND
MARION

Mr.. Willis B. Powell, accompanied
by Mrs. Powell came from Columbus,
Ga, in an automobile and in describ-
ing his tour Mr.. Powell says: From
Valdosta to Madison, Fla. the roads
are SPLENDID. From Madison to Live
Oak and Lake City the national high
way is joke-sand hub deep, and
for miles the mari ruts are so deep
that small car with 32-inch wheels
would become suspended on the road
bed. From Lake City to High Springs
roads are barely passable High
Springs to Gainesville fair.
From Gainesville to Ocala in bad
shape, impossible in wet weather, ex-
cept from Reddick to Ocala where
they are magnificent. From Ocala
south thirteen miles roads are mag
nificent and from there to Holder
pulling is hard through sand hills.
Thence through Citrus county the
roads are the finest in the United
States-all hats OF to Citrus county
and to Marion.

INSULTING JAPAN

We urge those naive souls who
not infrequently express wonder at
our growing unpopularity in Japan to
read and ponder the urbane remarks
of Representative Curry of California
delivered in a speech in the congress
of the United States:
Loose morals are universal among
Japanese men and uncondemned
among Japanese women; their daugh-
tiers are sold without shame into I'M
morality, and there are 100000 pro
fessional women : Japan.
Strange to say, sensitiveness is not
the exclusive attribute of the eau
casion race, but exists even among
Mongolians. Charges against the
morals of their wives, daughters AMI
sisters are no more relished by the
men of Japan than they would be By
our own husbands, fathers and broth
ers.
Suppose that a German orator IN
the Reichstag made the sweeping ac
cusation that the American Nation
was throughly immoral; that immo
rality was universal among American
women: that common law marriages
were an established institution
among us, and divorces on the moss
trivial pretexts a f1imsy cloak fof
more hyprocritical laxity; tina;
systematized race suicide was
symptom of our degenerate morals
and that white slavery was charac
teristic national enterprise. Would
we regard this malicious perverter OF
facts as the spokesman of friendly
nation?
The sanctimonioUs patter of one
little priggish lingo like Curry can dc
more to infame nation toward wal
than can be undone by the labors OF
hundred statesmen. 1t would be well
if this could be brought to Mr.. Curry
own immaculate realization and that
of his vicious kin-World.

FREIGHT RATES "eoING NORTH

Investigations into the business
methods of the railroad companies
may be uncomfortable for the rail-
road companies and may do no
good" in the way of bringing i'm
mediate relief to the public, but they
undoubtedly bring out intensely in
teresting information.
For instance did you know it costs
1926 for a truck to Chicago from
Jacksonville, which could be brought
back from Chicago to Jacksonville
for $54.32.
And what, in your ignorance OF Big
Business, would yoa think is the
reason for this? 1t is because the
farmers of the south are easy
marks" or is it a case of knowing
that the perishable garden stuff must
go, regardless of transportation
costs?
perhaps if we had more farmers
more producers-more shippers-and
fewer lawyers in the congress of the
United States, conditions would be
different The railways of the count
ry-in the very face of the Inter
State COMMISSIONER not forever
play upon the farming and producing
classes as easy marks.-Ed. Ocala
Banner.)
Before the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Chicago, Wednesday,
Edward r. Davis, a Chicago consig-
nee, presented a table showing a
comparison of the rates north and
south. "A shipment of 400 hampers
of lettuce he said, would cost S54.
50 to send from Chicago to Jackson
vile, Fla. 1t would cost 1926 to send
it from Jacksonville to Chicago. The
same shipment from Chicago to New
Orleans would cost SAB; from New
Orleans to Chicago, it would cost
$780,"
In other words, the farmer must
pay s171.6S more for sending 400
crates of lettuce to Chicago than it
would cost to send that many crates
back! And this, Mind you, AFTER
HE HAS PAID the additional trans
portation over the railroads in Flor
ida before the shipment reaches Jack
sonville!
As we said before, investigation of
the methods of railroad companies
brings to the attention of the plain
people many interesting things; and
is it reckless to assume that these
interesting things will finally pro.
duce a general demand for govern
ment ownership and for control OF
the transportation lines miami Me-

FARMER FOR CONGRESS

"Mr Mays is a farmer" says the
Lakeland Telegram, though We
doubt if he lays his hand to the plow
except in a figurative sense" This
refers to Mr.. Dannitte Mays of Mon
ticello, who is considering the advisa-
oility of running for congress in the
second district against Frank Clark,
who is only the friend of the far
mer." The notion that Mr.. Mays is Il
farmer is a mistake; he is a planter;
has broad acres which he lets out to
renters. He lives in town and wears
store clothes, and at this season Of
the year goes bird shooting, once and
occasionally. But Mr.. Mays, While a
planter, is really a farmer on large
scale-a sort of elongated farmer
who loves Washington and the society
of men who know how to work the
tillers of the soil to an offlclal Hhish
-Palatka News.
Well. we hardly think that 1t IS
necessary for a man actually to ge'
in between the pillow handles and stay
there all day long to be farmer anu
to have his sympathies enlisted a
their behalf. If he owns his land an6
emplovs labor and thus becomes
nroducer and a shipper he at once
becomes interested in having frelgh'
rates eouitablv and fairly adjusted
When he receives a carload OF stun
from Chicago and pays freight on TINS
same in the sum of $54.34 and returns
the same car loaded with stun tha'
he produces on his farm over the
same railway lines, pound for pounc
the same. and is confronted with a
bill for S23456, he Immediately opens
his eyes to the fact that there Is
something rotten in Denmark and his
object in getting into the halls of con
gress is for it's rectification.
Well, how about L. S. Light. he
is one whose hands are hardened
with toll. He knows what it is to DC
between the plow handles. He knows
what a hoe is made for. He knows
what it is to get drenched with tbs
early morning dews and to become
decorated with sandspurs.
When a member of the legislature
he won the soubrequet of "Old Facts
and Figures" sometimes phonetically
spelled thus: "Old Fax and Figgers.

OcALA PROTESTS

Ocala is making loud howl against
the Southern Express Company. The
board of trade there claims that the
new schedule of rates on vegetables
put into effect by the express COM
panies February 1, lis so excessive
that it will be prohibitive." Secre-
tary Rooney of the board of trade has
prepared resolutions of protest to the
interstate commerce commission and
the Florida senators and representa-
tives. The resolutions recite that the
Florida growers and shippers are to
be made the "goat" in a rate war be-
tween the express companies and the
parcels post service, and they ask
that the express companies be COM
PEELED to restore the old rates.
In the face of the announcement
that express rates have been gener-
ally reduced through the action of the
interstate commerce commission it is
rather unusual to see a cry for re-
storation of the old schedules. But
Ocala is terribly in earnest, and we
may expect definite results from the
vigorous kick of its active CONNER
cial organiZation.-Tam Tribune.

GOOD ADVICE 1T SEEMS TO US

1t is said that the following little
card was recently distributed among
the negro youth attending the Port
Royal Agricultural School in South
Carolina:
DO not be ashamed of your rase:
rather be proud to be as the Lord
made you. Be thankful for your gift
of song, for the fortunate race charac-
teristics of cheerfullness, patience,
optimism and faith, which, with prop
er education, should make the best
race of farmers in the world"
1t is said that this advice offended
Governor Blease and he made it the
subject for a special and fiery mes
sage to the South Carolina legisla-
ture
Surely it seems to us that we
should try and make the colored
people satisfied with the place they
occupy and to which they have been
assigned in the wisdom and provi-
dence of God. We cannot understand
the governors objection to the above
words of encouragement. 1t seems to
us that this ought to meet the ap
provel of all good people.

SOME FLORIDA AMMUNITION

The Alabama senatorial campaign
is getting strenuous. The partizans of
the respective candidates are not
only diligently using what ammuni-
tics for their warfare they find at
hand, but they are crossing state
lines after material for telling on
slaughts.
The Montgomery Journal of the
18th inst. contains an editorial in
which it makes the charge that the
leader of Underwood's campaign in
Florida for the presidential nomina-
ton was "the leader of the whiskey
forces and that his first assistant
was "the man who led the fight for
the race-track gamblers in that
ate."-Tampa Tribune
All of which is tommy-rot pure
and simple. Did Gov Gilchrist have
any affiliation with the "whiskey
forces" of this state; did he make a
fight for the race track gamblers?'
How about A. p Jordan? AS long as
we can remember A. P. Jordan has
been allied with the prohibition
forces and helped to carry Lake coun-
ty dry more than two decades ago.
How about DR.. Grill of Palatka and
the editor of this paper Were either
one allied with either of the forces
named? For goodness sake let's con-
duct a fair campaign. Let's tolerate
no lies on so clean a man as Under
wood

THE ASSESSMENT OF TAXES

The tax assessors of the state have
held a convention in the city of Jack
sonVille and among other things
adopted a resolution to assess pro-
perty throughout the state at fifty
per cent of its cash value for the pur-
poses of taxation. The statute of the
state governing this phase of their
duties, as contained in section 522 of
the general statutes, make it their
duty to assess all property at its full
cash value" The action of the asses
sors in convention if carried out
would amount to a repeal of the state
law.-Tampa Times.
The law to which the Times calls
attention has been on the statute
books for any number of years, but it
has been Systematically ignored. The
assessors have been peremptorily in
structed by governor after governor
to obey the law implicitly, but the as
SCISSORS have as systematically con-
signed the instructions to the waste
basket.
Why? Because they derive the right
to hold office from the people and
not from the governor. They know
that to follow the law with the
present millage to be collected it
would spell ruination and that it
would be like officially committing
hari kari. Cutting the millage in half
first and then raise the valuations,
would bring about an earlier observ-
ance Of the statutory provision.
