Albert and Leslie Butler, membebrs Of

way commission, accompanied by E.
/. Cantine, assistant state highway en-
gineer, are meeting with demand for
state aid for roads through Western

Mr.. Benson at meeting Of Rose
burg business men struck the keynote
to the situation by voicing the need
for state bond issue of $40, ,00o,0 900
to build main trunk lines through Ore
gon, the interest and principal of The
bonds to be paid from the current tax
revenues OF the state.
It is considered iInposshis, in view
of the low tax ley & read purposes,
to meet the deinnds of the various sec

oCALA ELKs IN PALATKA

Says the Palatka News: The street
parade preceded the ball. 1t formed
shortly after o'clock and a major
portion of the Elks participated. The
band led, followed by Elks on foot,
and in turn followed by the Royal
Elks' Menagerie from Ocala under the
direction of the world-renowned ami
NAL trainer Harry Peter, on horse
back. In this parade were dozen
Elks leading William Goats, and a
great cage containing the only living
elk in Florida. This attracted an ina
mense crowd and was one of the gay
affairs of the week. This Ocala
bunch of Elks are among the gayest
of the gay. They pulled off one stunt
that created some excitement. J. G.
Sanders got in row with one of the
local policemen while passing in the
parade; the policeman and Sanders
came together and went to the ground,
then the chief of police stepped for
ward and placed Sanders under arrest
A local Elk came to the rescue and
went security for Sanders till morn
ing. But there was nothing to this
it was all a put up job, Matched by
Sunny Jim Robinson, and in which the
police were accomplices.

Resolved, We appeal to every mem
Der of both houses to stand by our
representatives who are representing
the best interests of our people; that
our organization did present and pub
licly assert before the election of our
honorable representatives that we
stood squarely against any action of

were in harmony with ours and they
were elected by our people knowing
that they and our people did not de-

up the most tremendous resistance
that a nation has ever shown. If
the allies insist on carrying on the
war until Germany is crushed, they
will take the biggest contract that
mortal men have ever assumed.
On the other hand, Germany can
not win, unless at least one member
of the triple entente withdraws from
the conflict. 1t is impossible for Brit
ain or France to do this-it is not
likely Russia would do so except on
terms that Germany and Austria are
unwilling to give.
If the summers fighting results in
the Germans being driven out of
France, Belgium and Poland, if the
Russians maintain their advantage
over the Austrians and succeed in
pushing into Silesia, and the allies
capture Constantinople, peace may be
made next winter, but hardly before.

STATE REFORM SCHOOL

The. board of managers. for the
state reform school met in Mariana
last week, and discussed methods for
improving the school. Messrs. Lanier
of jacksonville and Turner of Tampa,
the two new members, were present.
The rather guarded report of the
proceedings went far to substantiate
the accusations brought few days
ago by the Tampa Times against the
school. For instance, it says:
"No provision is made at this time
for screening the temporary dining
room from flies, and much danger OF
infection is sustained from this cause
Also there are no bath tubs IN the
institution and one shower bath only
in the entire school"
Get that, do you? A state reform
school, where the inmates have nS
facilities for keeping themselves
clean.
The physician in charge says thu
crying need of the institution is /;
small, we'll equipped and modern hos
pitaI, as there are now absolutely M
surgical facilities, and can't be I'm
der the present arrangements.
The legislature viii be asked fe
an appropriation of 100000 for neces
sary improvements, but unless tn
school is removed to a different loca
ton and put in charge of an entirel,
different set of men, the money vii
be worse than wasted.

END IS FAR OFF

A large number of optimistic people
think the war will not last thru the
summer The Star would like to
agree with them, but can't.
There is no doubt that Russia is
pressing heavily on Austria. The
Russians have overrun Galicia, and
are pushing their way into Hungary.
But they are yet far from Vienna,
and have made no progress toward
Berlin.
On the other hand, the Germans
hold nearly all Belgium, and tenth
of France. It is likely to take months
of fighting to drive them out, and
when they are driven to their own
soil, the work of whipping Germany
will have only commenced.
In spite of the British blockade, the
Germans seem to be well supplied
with food, they have millions of mer
and immense resources, and theil
pride as a people will make them put

STATEsMAN'S. OPINION
OF OUR STATE

In jacksonville on his way home
from Orlando Senator Oscar Under
wood was interviewed by Times
Union reporter Mr.. Underwood said
that with little more development
Florida would be able to feed half of
the entire United States. The more
he sees of Florida, he said, the great
er this commonwealth seems to him,
Senator Underwood said that Flor
ida's great opportunity would come
with the close Of the European war
for then the markets of the entire
world would be crying aloud for Am
erican goods, foodstuffs and the pro-
ducts peculiar to this state.

comes off this week, and it is reported
that the train running between Ocala

from this train when it was put on,
but the railroad men say it is not
paying expenses, and the Star must
say, as it said of Sunnyjim, that the
only practical way for the people to
show appreciation of train is to
ride on it. The Star is also informed
that trains and 10, now running be-
tween Jacksonville and Leesburg,

ROONEY is OCALA'S
UNOFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE

Mr.. j. D. Rooney left Sunday for
Tallahassee, where he will work for
the following legislation:
A good roads system.
A live stock law.
A marketing commission.
For power for county commission
ers to employ agricultural experts.
Changes in the city charter.
Legislation for corn club boys and
canning club girls.
For power for county commission
ers to levy special taxes and appro-
pirate funds for publicity, hospitals
and county fairs.
He will also aid our represents
tives in their fight against county
division.
Mr.. Rooney is not lobbyist. He
doesn't represent any faction or spe
cial interest. The legislators may con
slider him as Ocala's unofficial repre-
sentative. He goes by authority O.
the Board of Trade, which includes
most of Ocala's business men, AM
fairly represents Ocala's sentiment
and is working in harmony witt
Ocala's city council, most members o
which belong to the said board. MI
Rooney is entering on his third yea
of usefulness as secretary of tn
Board of Trade, understands not onl
Ocala and what Ocala needs, but
also very well posted on opinions an
conditions in Marion county. An
member of the legislature who desire
to help this city and county can
i afford to disregard Rooney.

Mr.. G. Carmichael returned late
Saturday night from Palatka, where
he went to investigate the sinking of
the freight boat, G. A. Carmichael,
off Federal Point Friday morning.
Mr.. Carmichael says he doesn't think
the boat is very badly damaged; at
any rate, he will have it raised and
repaired at once, and expects to have
it running again soon. As the G. A.
Carmichael is the longest step Ocala
has made in the way of self-help in
freight rates, the people are naturally
much concerned at the accident
which seems to have been wholly the
fault of the crew of the Crescent
City, who were not keeping as good 9
lookout as they should.

At Miami, last week, John Ashley,
the murderer of Tom Tiger, the Sem
mole chief, was found guilty of muir
der and sentenced to hang. This case
is another disproval of the assertion
that white people are disposed to treat
Indians with injustice. If the Sem
inoles came out of their swamps and
mingled with the better class of
white people, they would be kindly
treated and given an opportunity to
help themselves. AS it is, they keep
themselves back in the Everglades
where few but the toughest class of
men can reach them, and suffer in con-
sequence.
