strongest commentator Of the last
river and harbor act directing a pre-

Whereas. we wish to pledge our !
support to the board OF engineers in !
making this examination, collecting /
data and securing information to
show the advisability Of the govern :

structiOn; and,
Whereas. we believe that all ton

values that have been credited TO the
great Oklawaha river project are like
wise equally as creditable TO the Sill

is made the terminus of this river
business it will be OF greater impor-
lance and a stronger link of competi-
ton against the railroads entering
Ocala: and,
Whereas, there is a regular boat

Silver Springs, which is within the
| CITY limits of Ocala, with municipal
docks. now handling a very large por-
ton of Ocala's present business; but
with this canal would give this entire
section the benefit of water rates,
which the masses that go TO make up
this great commonwealth would be
the ones receiving this at the hands
of our national government; and,
Whereas, there's paid annually by
our citizens in freights the sum OF
ls434.507.7S 10000 tons; and.
Whereas, by the construction of
this canal a saving of about one-half
of this amount on all Jacksonville
Ifreights would be made to our PEG
pie. and would be the greatest factor
in the development of our agricultu-
; raj and other resources than any 9th

The last American note to Ger
many, published in full elsewhere, is
about as stiff a document as one ma
ton can send to another without an
open invitation to fight. AS it has
behind it only an inadequate navy, a
shadow of an army and a people soft
ened by years of peace and indul-
gence, the Star will be surprised if
the Germans pay any more attention
to it than they have to its predeces-

Terrible Teddy managed to put
over two speeches in one day in
Frisco. The people of the United
States are so proud of the manner in
which Woodrow Wilson has handled
the European situation that Roose-
velt's rawlings do not affect them in
the least degree.-Tampa Tribune.
Mr.. Roosevelt's speeches do. not
read like rawlings to the Star. He told
some plain truths, and if the Amer
lean people do not heed at least q
good part of what he said, they will
be sorry.

1t is now claimed that the speech

Not likely to be anything in the
claim. In the first place, Henry
Grady had too much natural eloquence

or his own to need to crib from any
body. In the second place, he had
better sense than to crib from the
speeches Of another Georgian, all of
whose public utterances were well

Grady done such a thing, he would
have been called down, not next cen
fury, but next day.

Motor DjshWashinu.

A recent invention that Modern Me-
chanics tells of is a motor-driven dish
washer. OF course, in large hotels
dishes have long been washed by ma
chinery under hot water jets. but this
invention is for the family kitchen. al.
the ugh in larger size it is made for
restaurants and hotels. There ia a
contajner which holds wire trays In
which the dishes are placed. This is
flied with bot suds. At the bottom,
which runs to point, is a dasher that
is rotated rapidly by small electric
motor. This forces the water up and
between the dishes. cleansing them
thoroughly In few minutes. The
dishes are not merely sprayed, but
swept by waves of hot soapy water.
and as the trays are stationary there
is no risk of breakage. The conical
shape OF the bottom Of the container
insures drainage. With the wide use
of electricity In houses here is avail
able another labor tightening device
