HYMN BEFORE BATTLE
Soldiers of All the Warning Nations
Familiar With This One.

TdnllldT WIKI MS Snc.
Not only Rudyard Kipling's ow
countrymen, the English, are familia
with the hymn Of his given below, br
the Frenchman, the German, the Rus
sian and the Austrian knows it b
heart, and many times has it bee
heard on the battle line of late, sun
in many different dialects and voices
The earth is full Of anger,
The seas are dark with wrath,
The nations in their harness
Go up against our path;
Ere yet we loose the legions-
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah Of the thunders,
Lord God of battles, add
High lust and forward bearing,
Proud heart, rebellious brow
Dear ear and soul uncaring,
We seek thy mercy now!
The sinner that forswore thee,
The fool that passed thee by,
Our times are known before thee
Lord, grant us strength to die!
From panic, pride and terror
Revenge that knows no reign,
Light haste and lawless error,
Protect us yet again.
Cloak thou our undeserving,
Make firm the shuddering breath,
In silence and answering
To taste thy lesser death!
Fen now their vanguard gathers,
Fen now we face the fray
AS thou didst help our fathers,
Help thou our host today!
Fulfilled of signs and wonders,
In life, in death made clear
Jehovah Of the thunders,
Lord God of battles, hear!

PERNICIOUS PATRIOTISM

The president of the city board of
clans of Ocala, desires the Star to
impress on the council the necessity
OF taking measures to insure a safe
and sane fourth. The sentiment
against the useless burning of gun
powder on the nations natal day is
steadily growing. It used to be al
most religious observance to ele-
waite as much, Sheol as possible on
the fourth, and in spite of the many
accidents every year, it did not oc-
cur to anybody to sum them up and
compute the CHASTITY total. But
about twenty years ago it occurred
to one of our leading newspapers. in
search of feature, to sum up the
number of fourth of July accidents
as announced in the papers of the
next day. The number proved to be
greater than the number of Ameri-
cans who were killed In the first
battle of the Revolutionary war,
and putting the proposition In this
shape brought it home to the nation
with considerable shock. Since
then, the practice of pernfcious pa
triotism has been on the wane, but
there is too much of it yet. The ply
sician calling it to the Stars atten-
ton has himself treated six cases of
tetanus, caused by fourth of July
wounds. The fourth comes a. the
time of year when tetanus, which is
one of the most deadly OF diseases,
is most likely to prevail. 1t is the
greatest danger attendant on the
fourth. Death outright or perma-
nent disablement, or destruction of
property are also attendant, and not
to be disregarded, but they are less
in proportion than the danger of
tetan1s. which may be caused by
slight wound and result in days of
agony before death comes as well
come relief. The Star advises that
the council put the lid on some time
next week, or rather spike the
| fourth of July gun.

The Star thinks it is the duty of
every democratic newspaper to stand
by the administration in all matters
affected by the tariff, currency and
trust legislation. The course now
being followed in regard to these
matters is. what We worked for and
voted for two years ago, and any
democratic paper that criticises the
presidents course in this regard will
show that it either didn't expect the
party to keep its promises, Or has
become faint-hearted.

use To himself and a drag on the
community. IT makes no difference
In either case that the slayer may
be an useful man, and, except in his
one crime, good citizen. But the
same law that will kill or cripple for
life an useful member of society for
a crime that avenges crime as
great or greater, will protect a
gambler, who is not only useless to
the world himself, but is detri-
ment to it. This is not to advocate
the immunity of murderers, but why
should We not hang gamblers, pimps
and all other such poisonous para
sites, or at least imprison them for
life?

1t was a brave message that Pres
ident Wilson gave to the country
thru his talk to the Virginia editors,
and a truthful one. Every man ia
miliar with the course of public
events will realize that the business
OF the United States has been in a
state of apprehension for the last
decade Every time presidential
election approached, business pulled
I'm its horns until after it could
figure what the incoming president
and Congress was likely to do. Even
when this was decided, business knew
1t would only be about three years
before 1t would have to pull in it's
horns again, to await another quad
rennial catyclysm. 1t is an estab-
Nshed fact that business only needs
to be let alone to prosper, and make
the country prosper, but business
will never be let alone until the
matters of tariff, finance and trusts
are established with an amount of

ing disturbed only in the matter of
small details for long time to
come. None of these issues should
be revolutionized by political party.
They should only have such occa-
siona1 amendment as circumstances
require from time to time. The
president is trying to put the coun-
try on the safe and sane basis i.
needs, and if the country will only
be brave enough to follow his lead
in spite of such incidents as ths
Claf1in failure, it will attain a per.
manent prosperity that will be free
alike from the imitation of booms an6

are concerned, the president il

with these, all other things amour

TURNER FOR SUPERINTENDENT

Mr.. r. L. Turner. superintendent
OF Public instruction for Citrus
County, whose home is in Inverness,
is candidate for the Office OF State
Superindent of Schools, two years
hence. Mr.. Turner is one of the most
logical men in the state for the posi-
ton. He is probably as we'll known
as any of the superintendent Or
timber" from which a State Super
intendent is to come for the four
years following the term of the pres
emit encumbent. No man in the state
can say aught but good of Mr.. Tur-
ner. He is in every way qualified to
ill the position, and the Star would
take pleasure in supporting him. Mr..
Turner, while young man, is the
Oldest superintendent in the state in
point of service. He has a record of
sixteen years of continuous service
for his county in his present office,
or eighteen years when his term ex-
pires- HE has never had opposition
for reelection, and in this he holds
the record also. This speaks we'll
for him in his home county and
shows what he is thought of there.
Mr.. Turner is secretary of the Flor
ida Education Association (the state
teachers association), and has held
the position for five or six years
He is member of the state text book
commission, having been appointed
by the governor for a term of years,
dating from 1911. Mr.. Turner has
always attended the meetings of the
state teachers, the state superin-
: tendents and all the meetings of
educational bodies over the state, is
well known by the people of all parts
offFfUrida and would start into the
campaign as we'll known as any of
Ahe probable candidates and with
utameless record behind him and a
fnna nf valuable Information and
brjm fun of enthusiasm to improve
and better the conditions of schools
and teachers and book problems of
our state. The Star is glad to be the
anst paper in the state to nominate
Mr.. Turner for the great position
one OFF the most important in our
estimation Of the cabinet Offices.

The Ocala Star says the Tribune
called Col. Sparkman a statesman
last campaign and chump this
campaign. We challenge the state
ment that we ever called him
statesman. Not even his most deyot-

Tribune.
The Star sorrowfully prints the
correction, which it fears will do the
Tribune more harm than good.

MONEY FOR BUILDING WANTED

Party in Ocala wants $4,000 to
$500 to build on business lot in
good portion of city, with mortgage
on property for security. Money can
be paid back quarterly, yearly or in

JOKE ON SUNNY JIM

Many times in the last several
years, NJ. i. Robinson, alias Sunny
Jim, has played practical joke on
the Star. He has put dummy fire.
crackers as big as backlogs under the
feet of its representatives, thereby
causing them to Jump higher than
his head; he has handed them cigar
boxes, which on being opened have
revealed google-eyed spooks and
other apparitions. and pressed upon
them seductive looking books, that
exploded with fourth of July bang
when access was sought to their
pages, and in other ways has pulled
OF stunts that have caused the Star
to lend a friendly ear to plans for
Sunny Jim's abduction, perhaps to
his lynching.
But the Star is even now, and then
some. Between the editorial room
and the business office of the Star is
a private phone, with a set of in
struments left over from the old
fashioned apparatus with which you
ring up central with about the same
strenuous motion that you use in
cranking an auto. About 10 o'clock
last night, in came Sunny Jim, who
had just arrived on Sunnyjim, look
ing for the Tampa Tribune, without
reading which he can't sleep at
night.
The editor and the night linotype
operator were pulling on their usual
evening stunt, the one at his desk
and the other at the machine. Sunny
Jim grabbed the Tribune and de-
voured it's news. then thought he had
better telephone home that he was
coming, SO that folks wouldn't think
a burglar was trying to break in.
The private phone looks much
like the regular telephone, 50 Sunny
Jim picked the receiver on the
hook, stuck it to his ear and listened
for central's gently murmered Mum
ber-r." Nary number. He listened
awhile, then shook the phone, then
listened some more and shook the
phone again. After repeating this
performance awhile, he lost patience.
He smote upon the desk with his
fist, he pulled his hair, he said things
about central that would have made
her cry and expressed his opinion Of
the Ocala Telephone Company I'm
terms that no man should use to-
ward a home industry. He threaten
ed to start an agitation to give a
franchise to the Southern Bell, and
finally turning his head around until
his face was almost on the back of
his neck he was preparing, we fear,
to cuss.
Just at this minute, the editor,
who was enjoying the show, but be
gan to fear that misplaced indigna-
ton would cause Sunny Jim to dis
integrate, butted in: There Is no
one in the business Office at this
time of night" he said. 'If you
want the telephone, it is there in
front Of YOU"
Sunny Jim is good sport, tho,
and didn't try to beg this story out
| of print.

HIS IDLE HOURS

Some people think that ]. D.
Rooney, secretary of the Marion
county Board OF Trade, has been
amusing himself in the days he has
spent at IWoodmar recently. Per-
haps he has been, for ]. DIS. fun
seems to consist mostly in working,
and working he has been, notwith-
standing both the temptation to rest
and the pain in a very sore foot and
leg, which has threatened him with
blood poison the past week.
Stepping into the Board of Trade
headquarters Friday, the Star re-
porter found Mr.. Rooney preparing
to start to Wiliston, and saw him
take from his grip and lay on the
table the dummy of a booklet The
cover design was striking, and as
soon as the secretary was out of the
way the reporter grabbed it and be-
gan to size it up.
1t was the dummy of a booklet
which the secretary has compiled

hopes to have printed some time
soon. 1t will be a handy encyclo-
pedia of information for every resi-
dent of Marion, as we'll as a good
advertisement to all abroad into

The cover page bears the follow
ing appropriate, truthful and strik-
ing inscriptions:

Land of Fulfilled Promises
Original, is it not, and striking and
appropriate? Never saw anything
like it on any other piece of liter
ature? And all Marion county peo-
pie know we have the goods to back
it up.
The booklet is filled with infor-
nation, considerably more in detail
than in ''Facts and Photos" which
was principally pictures with the
most important information con-
densed and displayed in a manner to
strike the eye and incite interest
The second booklet will supply
much of the information that the
first one has been for the last three

Mr.. Rooney is working up book
let attractive and full of informa-
ton, without being tedious. It will
stand by itself, but the Star can see
that any man who has been inter
ested by Facts and Photos Will
find this second booklet very much

APPLY FOR WORK
IN WRONG PLACE.
Orange Postmaster Besieged
as Result of General Mo-
tice in Evening Star.

That many rugged men, anxious to
work, are without employment, was
indicated forcefu1ly to Postmaster Ed
ward s. Perry, of Orange. when scores
of persons applied tn him yesterday
following the publication in the Eve
ming Star of notice from the postal
department that there was big de-
mand for workers in the West. AS
the postal authorities simply sent the
word out generally, SO as to reach the
unemployed OF the county, Mr.. Perry
had the same information only that
all postmasters dispensed, namely,
that the workers were needed for
varying periods up to one hundred
and twenty days.
Through misunderstanding, appli-
cants believe Mr.. Perry has authority
to finance their fares to the West but
this is not a fact. Applications for
places have been made in person and
by mail from all sections of North
Jersey.
Postmaster Perry asked the Eve
ming Star to state that applications
must go to the following:
Charles McCaffree, commissioner of
immigration, Pierre, S. D.; Charles L.
Daugherty, State labor commissioner,
Oklahoma City, Okla; John T. Fitz-
patrick, labor commissioner, Jeffer-
son City, Mo-, or w. L. o'Brien, d.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, June 10.-Belief that the
short selling Of wheat on account of
the prospective big crop had been
overdone caused the market today ia
| rally. In addition there were advices
| from Liverpool that general European
buying was on a big scale and was
expected to continue. Pit offerings
| here were light. After starting I'M
changed to A@% off prices scored a
| moderate all around advance. 3.
Later the market eased off. because
shipments of new wheat were report
ed as on the way to Kansas City. The
close was steady, u to 1s@Aunder last
night.
Drought in the Ohio valley ana in
the region west of there tended to
make the corn market firm. Bulls
were encouraged also by reports of
an Improvement in the shipping de-
mand East. The opening, which
ranged between Is decline and 1s@A
advance Nwas followed by substan-
tial upturn.
Assertions that the purchase of corn
at rural stations had almost reached
the vanishing point were considered
important on the bull side. The close
was firm, A@ss to Is net higher.
Oats climbed as result of serious
damage to the crop in Illinois and In
diana. 1t was said that fields We're
beginning to fire owing to the pro-
longed heat.
