ST. PETE'S LONG MILES
OF SPLENDID STREETS

St. Petersburg has thirty-three
miles Of streets paved with vitrified
brick. The streets are very wide,
one Of the principal streets being 80
feet from curb to curb, and many of
them are 60 feet. st. Petersburg
proper is no larger than Ocala and
has not as many inhabitants. Think
of it, If this little city's streets
were laid out end for end, in one
continuous stretch. they would make
a street 40 feet wide from Ocala to
Leesburg. What has accomplished
this? Bonds! They have over half
million dollars of bonded indebted
ness down there but they have the
finest city of it's size in the South,
and it has made the greatest growth
in ten years of any city in the South.
They have more to show for their
bonds-a fine sewerage system, many
substantial municipal improvements
and an assessed property valuation
of $40, 900. With big bond issue,
properly expended where the need is
greatest, Ocala could do what ST.
Petersburg has done, and grow and
spread and become a city We can
not do it without bonds.

LET THEM OFF
ENTIRELY TOO LIGHT

The Tampa Tribune most correct
ly says of the result of Hopson and
his accompIices at Orlando:
The men who waylaid and fired
into an automobile bus near Orlando
have reason to be thankful for their
good fortune in the easy escape they
have made from suffering serious
consequences of their deadly crime.
The offense was one of the most out
rageous that has ever occurred in
this state. Inflamed with drink,
these men fired into crowd of pas
sengers in the bus and it is little
short of miraculous that there was
not fatal results. Only one of the
perpetrators has been punished and
he gets off with five years imprison-
ment. The tender solicitude with
which the courts handled these fell
lows does not tend to great respect
for the law. Every man in the at
tacking party should have been sent
up for the limit

DESERVED PROMOTION
FOR COL. DENHAM

As will be seen by the following
from the Jacksonville Metropolis, a
high and responsible position has
been conferred on Col. w. B. Den
ham, general manager of the Ocala
Northern:
Col. w. B. Denham, of this city,
will be selected traffic manager of
Jacksonville's new municipal docks
and terminals when the board of
port commissioners meet in regular
semi-monthly session next Tuesday
afternoon Col. Denham is one OF
the best-known transportation men
in the South. He was general super
intendent of the Plant System, and
retained his position when the At
lantic Coast Line absorbed the Plant
interests. In recent years he has
held a high executive position with
the Georgia and Florida Railroad.
The office of traffic manager of the
new municipal docks and terminals
will carry with it a salary Of $4,000
per annum Col. Denham has already
been of material assistance to the
board of port commissioners. For
the past thirty days he has virtually
had charge of the traffic and trans
portation feature of the project"

ment 1 took him into the ear, clos
ed the doors and let him see the day
light. 1t was such absolute proof
that he at once had new ducinkg
stuffed in the doors to close the
cracks. A refrigerator car that is
not reasonably air tight is mo- refrig-
orator at all-yet the car line peo-
pie want their usual charges inst the
same And the railroads must pay
three-fourths of a cent per mile each
way for the privilege of hauling such
a car.
ct looks to me that the time has
come when the shippers of the coun-
try ought to get together and oper-
ate their own refrigerator car line.
If they did they would SOON grow
wealthy and could force the rail
roads to make rates like the private
car line people are doing today. If
the shippers of California can unite
and market their own citrus crop of
$4,000 cars and Florida can do the
same it would seem that the same
class of talent could operate a few
refrigerator cars belonging to the
shippers without causing a national
war. 1t is either that or govern
ment ownership-somethi must be
done whereby fair rates and fair
rates only can be collected.

How times have changed in some
respects is proven by the manner in
u-Aieh the country treats the appear
ance Of bubonic plague in New Or

Fgy the hurried exodus of everybody
who could get away, and a shotgun
quarantine by every community in

plague is as dreadful disease as

lowed by panic and quarantine. In
stead, sensible means are being tax

Some of our contemporaries are
'bewailing the fact that Florida is
not recognized in the distribution of
high offices by the democratic ad-
ministration, and think it is because
Florida is such a safe democratic
state that the president does not
think it necessary to give it any but
very inferior recognition. There
may be something in this-there
may also be another reason. 1t is
that President Wilson could not ap-
point any prominent Florida demo
crat to office without encountering
strong opposition from number Of
other prominent Florida democrats
| With the exception of South Caro-
lima, Florida is more cursed with
factionalism than any other safe
| democratic state. Every democra
who raises his head above the leve
of the rank and file is at once abused
by at least half the other prominen
democrats and their followers. N
man who has any regard for tn
public welfare can help being dis
gusted with the wrangling of the pi
counter patriots of this state, who il
the last twelve months have give
full exhibition of the limits to whic
selfish greed can carry politician.

Who accused County Treasurer Hoar
of violating the law relative to county
funds? By taking advantage of hole
in the law, he has deposited county
funds in the name Of tax collector,
which draw no interest for the people,
instead of depositing in the name Of
the county treasurer, which draw 2 ~
per cent on daily balances for the peo-
pie. Mr.. Hoar violates no law. He
can keep right on sklnning the taxpay-
ers. He can pocket the interest and
the taxpayers be powerless. But such
a policy is hardly honest. It is certain
ly unfair to the people. And, what is
more, it happens to be out of harmony
with the law which provides that Off
Gals cannot retain extra fees. What is
more, Blair Hoar is probably the only
county official in the state, occupying
similar position, who makes any at
tempt to defraud the people, already
burdened with the expense of govern
ment, out of the interest on county
funds. Under the same law the people
in Latah, Lewis and other counties get
interest on all their funds because the
officials make no effort to avail them
selves Of loop holes through which no
honest official would attempt to crawl.
And let there be no mistake. The
official records will show that Commits
sioners Frank Zelenka and Elmer Tor
gerson, after the matter was called to
their attention and they were shown
the county records, passed a resolution
condemning P. L. circuit, and officially
endorsed the methods employed by
Blair Hoar.
