IT'S TIME TO ANSWER

The people of the entire state,
among them the friends of Controller
Knott and Treasurer Luning, would
like to have an answer to the follow
ing very reasonable questions from
the Tampa Times:
Why the Delayed Prosecution
According to a statement made to
the Times by a director of the de-
funct Florida Life Insurance COM
pany, State Treasurer ]. c. Luning,
at conference with directors and
committee of business men to whom
the affairs of the company were
turned over, made the statement
that he had evidence to convict for
mer President NJ. D. Johnson of Jack
sonville, who has for months past
been in Havana, of making a false
statement as to the company's finan-
cial condition. If Mr.. Luning has
evidence that will convict Mr.. John
son of wrong-doing in any way, why
didn't he institute proceedings against
Mr.. johnson at the time?
We have also been informed that
Mrs. F. w. r. Human, widow of the
lamented business manager of the
Times Union, who was murdered by a
crazed drug fiend aboard Clyde Line
steamer, was allowed to deposit a
large part of her insurance money in
the defunct Commercial Bank of
Jacksonville a few days before the
ruin of that bank was announced. We
| know little of the affairs of the Com
mercial Bank, the failure of which
the Jacksonville State, published by
Arthur K. Taylor and Bryan Mack,
declares was due to dishonesty. II
this is the case, why has Comptroller
w. ". Knott delayed prosecuting
those who are said to be responsible
for the failure, including former
President Herbert B. Race, who is in
Havana with Mr.. Johnson. We do not
know that any officer of the CONNER
cial Bank was guilty of wilful dis
honesty, but in view of published
statements it seems that these off
GERS, if honest, would welcome some
action on the part of Mr.. Knott, whc
has the supervision of the stats
banks, and who is also a member o.
the state fire insurance commission.
I In these loss-bringing instance
) these gentlemen have had a glorious
opportunity for displaying ability ant
! desire to protect the interests of thei
constituents, but what evidence hav
we of the fact that they possess sucl
} ability and desire?

BLOXHAMITES PROMISE
THE NEGROES BOOZE

The Star has just been informed of
the latest disreputable move of the
politicians who are trying to create
"Bloxham."
They are working on the negro
voters of the 'Bloxham" precincts,
telling them that if the new county is
formed it will be wet, and there will
be barrooms in almost every dis
trict.
AS a matter of fact, the territory
marked out for Bloxhan is all dry,
and according to the state law liquor
cant be sold in it unless it goes wet
in another election.
The Bloxham politicians are lying
to the negroes, because they know
the new county would automatically
be dry, and because they know they
would not dare call for wet or dry
election.
But, the Star will inquire of the
people of Northwest Marion, what do
they think of the character of men
who will resort to such tactics? How
do they relish going into county
where such bunch of unscrupulous
liars will make up the ruling ring
at the county seat?
Everybody knows the prohibition
sentiment in Northwest Marion. The
last campaign was practically be-
tween wet and dry men, and the dry
men carried every precinct.
What do they think of men who
try to decide a public question by the
negro vote, and try to influence the
negro vote with a lying promise tx
bride it with whisky.
What do the negroes think o
white men who try to obtain thei
votes by telling them lie-by offer
ing them something when they know
they can't deliver the goods?

TAXES IN A NEW COUNTY

We commend to our Bloxham
county friends the following, de-
scriptive of the tax rate in the new
county of Pinellas. 1t must be re-
membered, also, that there are three
towns, st. Petersburg, Clearwater
and Tarpon, in Pinellas, that have
more taxable property than all of
Bloxham.. There are also two trunk
line railroads, and at least one big,
world-famous hotel, beside many
smaller ones. AL these make it easier
for the Pinellas farmer. But the peo-
pie of "Bloxham" are practically all
farmers; they will have to stand fat
footed on the ground to take every
jump. What their taxes will be and
how hard it will be to pay them, it is
easier to imagine than describe. Fol-
lowing is the dispatch:
Tarpon Springs, Aug. 24.-Twenty-
eight mills, which includes the state
levy of six mills, is the tax rate set
for Pinellas county for 1915, by the
board of commissioners in Clearwa-
ter. Added to this rate is the spe-
cial school taxes of the various dis
tricts, which vary from two to seven
mills. With the addition of the three
mills special school tax and two mills
for school bonds in this district, the
tax rate in Tarpon Springs for 1915
will be 80 mills. Actually % mills is
the levy of the board of commission
ers if the state and special schoo,
levies are subtracted from the loca
rate.

The Philadelphia Record says: an
view of the fact that the Arabic sank
in eleven minutes after being tor
pedoed, what becomes of those elab-
crate German theories that the Lusi-
tania, which remained afloat twenty
three minutes after she was struck,
must have been the victim of an in
ternal explosion of the ammunition
she carried and that, therefore, Ger
many was not responsible for the
murder of aer passengers and crew ?
OF course, nobody outside of Berlin
took that defense seriously. Perhaps
Germany thinks it no longer neces.
sary to explain her actions. But, at
ter all, there is such thing as inter.
national public opinion, and in the
end it will mete out its punishments
for these unprecedented outrages."

HAVE NO IDEA HOW
MUCH THEY OWE HIM

Says the Florida Grower of z. c.
Chambliss, the Ocala banker-farmer:
"Some of our best bankers in Flor
ida are interested in farming and
these men shall do much to help solve
rightly the credit problems of the
farmer. One of the most prominent
banker-farmers in Florida is 4. C..
Chambliss, of Ocala, and Marion coun-
ty will never know until he IS dead
how much they owe to him for their
growth and substantial progress.
While he yet lives we deem it privi-
lege to say that his work and ex-
ample have been an influence in Flor
ida of inestimable value. Long may
he live, and may there be more Of
his kind"

SOUTH HATERs ARE SHOUTING

Some of the people around here,
who think that the Star has been
fussing at Georgia on account of the
Frank case, should read the Tampa
Tribune, the proprietor and founder
of which is from Kentucky, a state
which as all men know is specially
noted for rigid obedience to and
staunch upholding of the law. Says
the Tribune:
South Haters Aroused
twenty-five unknown men, acting
in defiance of law, have, by one
nights brutal work, aroused the
South-haters from one end of the
land to the other. For months, the
Southern people and the Southern
press will be forced to read all man
ner of malicious misrepresentation
because these twenty-five men gave
way to their passions and elected
themselves to put to death a convict
ed prisoner, whose life had been
spared by constituted authority. II
the condemnation which is being Wis
tied upon us in connection with this
crime could be limited to the actual
criminals and, perhaps, to the Geor-
gia authorities who failed to take
proper precautions to prevent the
outrage, it would not be so bad; but
the tribe of South-haters recognize
no such just and rightful localization
of guilt. They must needs include
the entire South in their denuncia.
