That is a strange story which
comes out of Ocala that a saloon
there has closed for the want of
patronage. Undoubtedly there is
not nearly so much whisky drank
IN this country as a few years ago
and the marvellous growth of the
prohibition movement is, we believe,
distinctly responsible for the result.
1t used to be fashionable for men to
drink; it is now fashionable for
them not to drink, and fashion is an
imperious mistress with one sex not
less than the other. 1t is distinctly
bad form for young men of good So
cial standing to be seen in saloons
these days, and for that reason, even
when, others fail, they keep away
from such places and diminishing
custom, as in this Ocala instance,
puts the saloon out of business.

At least it can be said for Cen
eral Huerta as he retires into what,
it is to be hoped, is permanently in
nocuous desuetude, that he was the
most picturesque character ever at
the head of the Mexican govern
ment. He doubtless has abundant
coin salted away for just such an
emergency as he now finds himself
in, but in case he is short he can
go on the stage or lecture platform,
circuit the globe as a star attraction
and make million. He needn't
pay any attention to the bunk from
some of his friends that Mexico will
soon call for him again, for, like
Diaz, he is through with that coun-
try permanently and if Mexico ever
lays hands on him it will be to bring
him to trial for the murder of Ma
dero. The world would very much
like to know the actual facts of that
cruel business and unless Huerta
makes a clean breast of it there will
always be a cloud of mystery and
uncertainty hanging over it.

a tax commission and the hands OF
the gentlemen who compose the tax

as they are endeavoring to do their
full duty. Florida has about the
most unequal taxes and the poorest

The Orlando Reporter-Star and the
Jacksonville Metropolis are hurting
leading articles at each other in an
effort to determine whether or not
the progreasives were defeated in
the late Florida primary. The con-
troversy has now passed out of the
didactic and academic stage and
threatens to become personal. The
Reporters which was last at the
bat, denounces the Metropolis as a
"Jungfrau of error" which seems to
open the way for the Met to get
busy with Mont Blanc as a weapon
OF retort. Using such Alpine slap
sticks the controversy ought to cool
down at once.

A Few Important Facts For
The Careful Voter

What is it that tends to make a citi-
zen a good voter? Look at the matter
without prejudice, and we will find
that the man who takes pains In his
work, the man who has had an aim in
life, is the man who wants to see an
efficient man holding Office in the com
munity in which he resides.
To accomplish this purpose the care
full voter will take good care to investi-
gate the merits of the candidate who
is running for office, irrespective of the
ticket on which he runs. He will look
into his past history, see what he has
accomplished; if he has been in Office
before he will ascertain with what de-
gree of efficiency he has filled that
office.
For instance, here in Lincoln County
we will take the office of Sheriff, which
is the executive office of the county
We have candidate for that office by
name of Clarence Wheeler. He has fill
ed the position of Deputy Sheriff and
Jailor for the past six years. His rec
ord has been good, his efficiency beyond
question, in other words he is the kind
of man we want in public office. He is
the kind of man CAREFUL voter
will vote for 1t is men of Wheeler's
calibre that the county needs.
To sum the matter up, the careful
voter is one who takes pains to investi-
gate and vote for the man who will
make the best and most competent Of
ficer; and to do this it is only necessary
to vote for men like Wheeler who have |
had the experience and can make good.
He does not have to stop to learn.
