WINNING BY WAITING

A few years ago, a private firm Of
fered to supply the city Of Ocala with
electric current for 3 cents per kilo-
watt, which current the city is now
supplying itself for 2 cents. 1t takes
but little figuring to show what a
great sum Of money the council saw
ed to our people by not awarding a
contract to said firm at 3 cents.
The Star is informed by a mem
Der Of the council that offers are
now being made to supply the city
with current at 2 cents, and take of
of our officials the care and response
dread.
But the Star is also Informed that
If the contract must go to a private
firm, current can be furnished here
in town for " cents.
Jacksonville is making current by
steam turbine engines for 1 cent
The Star is Informed by very com
petent people that if the city of Ocala
will put in a Diesel oil engine, i,
can manufacture current for less
than l cent; probably 3-4ths of
cent
Current from water power is now
being sold in Georgia at 1a cent, bu
the fall of Georgia streams is much
greater than those of Florida.
| The city is losing nothing blu
rather making, by holding on to ant
using its own plant. It will continue
and improving it.

SENATOR BRYAN'S
JUDGMENT WAS SOUND
Florida Orange Holds Its Own With
out Any Tariff Help
or Favor

Washington, April 2S.-During
the discussion of the new tariff bill
last summer, Mr.. Temple, president
of the Florida Citrus Exchange, adj
vocated the retention OF the existing
tariff on oranges, saying a reduction
would ruin the business, and offered
his grove at some ridiculous sacri-
flee. He was backed in his argu-
ment by Colonel Abrams and several
others.
Senator Bryan took the position
that Florida's products should go
under the tariff knife just as should
the products of all other states and
also declared that the superiority of
the Florida orange placed it in a
, class above competition. He is
borne out in his view by recent re-
port of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, which compares
the value of the imports of the last
quarter of 1912 with those of 1913.

IDEA OF THE ADMINISTRATION

Columbia, S. c., State: Day after
day, the wisdom of President Will
sons Mexican policy becomes palmer
and palmer. Yesterday, decidedly
reassuring utterances were quoted
from Pancho Villa who, though he
calls himself a soldier and dis
claims being Statesman" appears
to be not devoid of horse sense
Had Mr.. Wilson been precipitate, had
he rushed division across the Rio
Grande, there would perhaps have
been no time for the facts of the
| case to seep into the minds of men
like Villa. Now Villa reasons that if
the United States coveted Mexican
territory, the United States would
| take it. Since the United States
does not take it, the United States
does not covet it. That is logic plain
enough to penetrate and convince
the simplest mind or the coarse
grained mind of a roughriding Mex
lean lately turned soldier.
1t is wholly within the range of
possibility that Mexican affairs may
be ordered with minimum of blood
splitting. Once the Mexicans of edu-
cation and property shall see that the
presence of the mailed hand" does
not mean conquest, they will be glad
enough to accept its succor. Your
Mexican banker. planter, railroad
owner and miner is conservative as
are his brethren of every nation and
tongue. He is tired of anarchy. He
would gladly see the return of peace
SO that his business might proceed
in orderly manner-so that dividend
paying might be resumed. When
Mexican ports are blockaded and no
attempt follows by the United States
to annex Mexican territory, the Mex
lean business man will perceive that
it is not patriotism to fight a coun-
try that refuses 10 fight his country
except as a policeman quells riot
in the streets. Then, under the guns
of visiting policemen, for that is what
our soldiers and sailors will be, he
will reorganize his plantations, his
mines, his stores and his railroads.

abroad and awed by the presence of
} the American military forces, the
, Mexican laborers will return to work,
