The Trouble With Legislators.

(Reardan Gazette.)
Too many men when elected to
legislative body, take it as an oppor-
tunity to present bill for some new
and possibly freakish law that some
times does little good and little harm,
and the statute books are burdened
with such acts. These laws tend to
create in the public a disregard OF
real laws that are worth having and
the sacredness of law is set at naught.
A less laxity of and more complete
enforcement of law is what is needed,
and to that end legislatures should be
careful to vote down promptly every
proposed act that has no more pur-
pose than to satisfy some ambitious
statesman.

Press Comment
Here's the First "HOller"
(Elma ChrOnicle.)


Superstitious people are calling at
tention to the fact that the year 1915
begins on Friday and ends on Friday.
The first day of the year and the last
day of the year are that bad-luck day
Friday. If this is not a worse combi-
nation than a flock of black cats
crossing the street in front of you,
there is nothing at all to this luck
business. However, if enough people
will wear a foot from a rabbit killed
in a graveyard in the light of the
moon suspended from their necks it
Friday can be entirely conjured
away.

THE OCALA
TRANSPORTATION CO.
Has Already Raised $1,000 for the
New Freight Boat

A committee of four, Messrs. D. E.
McIver, H. B. Clarkson, Jake Brown
and Ed. Carmichael, commenced yes
terday a soliciting campaign among
the business men of the city to raise
funds to equip a freight boat line on
the Oklawaha river. M
The matter has been talked and
published and agitated for some time
and the business men are no wgetting
down to something more than mere
talk.
In little over half an hour yester-
day the committee secured subscrip-
tions to stock in the company amount
ing to over $4,000 and viii continue
their efforts from day to day till the
full amount necessary to equip the
line, ST, 500 has been subscribed.
Under the plan the company will
build another boat, better and larger
than the G. A. Carmichael, profting
by the experience on that vessel,
which is really the first and only one
of its kind to be operated on the up
per reaches of the river. The company
will take over the G. A. Carmichael
and the big four-ton auto truck. The
Carmichaels will take the bonds oi
the company for their present invest
ment and the difference viii go into
the new equipment.
This is Ocala's opportunity to re
duce her freight rates between this
point and Jacksonville just 500 anC
when one stops to think that an aver
age of 500 of the entire freight com
ing into Ocala is paid between Jack
sonville and Ocala, this is some item

NJ. L. S. Rhodes is having great
success with the skating rink which
he has opened in the armory. Mr..
Rhodes has knack of pleasing the
public and keeping things nice and in
good order It's to be hoped that his
patronage will be large and his rink
will be the means of keeping the kids
of the sidewalks, where some Of them
will break their necks or other ap-
purtenances, or those of other people,
sooner or later. Mr.. Rhodes will set
the rink aside Wednesday afternoons
for the ladies, and they will find skat-

If some public spirited gentlemen
will set fire to and burn down the
arches across Broadway, the Star will
pay him ten dollars, or five dollars for
either of the arches. They are dis
grace to the town, particularly the
western one, from which the tattered
cloth flaps like the rags of tramp
in the wind. The street committee
has, we suppose, the power to move
them, and if it has, and doesn't soon
use it, its members should be i'm
peached. The arches in their present
condition are likely to cause every
traveller who sees them to make sol
emn resolve not to attend the next
