A PENALTY OF IMPROVEMENT

Twenty years ago, nothing but an
absolute lack of paper or ink could
have crippled the Star. The electric
plant or the gas plant or anything
else in town might have broken down,
but the printers in the Office would
set the type and make the press turn
and been as independent as wood
sawyer.
Yesterday, very small part of the
quarter horsepower on the motor that
runs the Stars linotype wore out
after several years of use. If it had
been part of a xty-horsepower auto,
it could have been replaced in few
minutes. But as it was, there was no
spare duplicate nearer than New Or
leans.
The Star called in Lawton Bailey
one of the city's smartest electricians
and after several hours work he and
the linotype operator managed to fit
in and adjust the broken part. A limo
type is in class by itself. 1t must's
or too slow, and adjusting it's parts is
about as delicate job as adjusting q
watch. So by the time it was finish
ed, it was too late to set any type for
the day.
Luckily the Star yet has men who
can set type in the old-fashioned way
so they managed to get out a paper
even tho it was shy of local news and
looked like a handbill.

With DIR. Bell listening in on the

convenience to its members and an
ornament to the town. The public
library is one of the most handsome
and appropriately constructed build
ings of the sort In the county, and
awakens the admiration of all who
see it. The Belleview "grotto" is one
of the scenic spots of the county. 1t
is a natural well of water at the bot
tom of a bowl over fifty feet deep.
The well itself is 200 feet deep and
filled with perfectly clear water. An
exterior view would cause one to say
the place is more of a sink than a
grotto, but man In a diving suit
would probably find passages to a
genuine fairy palace or two leading
out from the well, which is believed to
communicate with Lake Lillian half a
mile away, and pretty little sheet
of water itself. The principal reason
for Belleview is that it is a semi
tropical home for number of north
ern people of means and good taste
who prefer to spend as much of their
lives as possible in the genial climate
of our favored land. While in Belle

STOOD BY THEIR
FELLOW CITIZEN

Oscar Barnes, ex-postmaster and
merchant of Lecanto, Citrus county,
tho under sentence for embezzlement,
has reason to be proud of the way his
fellow citizens are standing by him.
Mr.. Barnes was found guilty in the
federal court and sentenced to
eighteen months imprisonment. Mon
day morning, a large number of the
citizens of Lecanto and Crystal Riv-
er chartered special train and came
to Ocala intending to go before the
federal court, express their confidence
in and good will for Mr.. Barnes, and
ask the Judge to set aside or COM
mute his sentence.
On taking legal counsel, however,
they were advised otherwise. They
consulted Mr. H. M. Hampton, and he
said that under the law it would be
impossible for Judge Call to reduce
the sentence for less than one year
and if he did that it would deprive the
young man of the benefits of parole.
He advised them to go before the fed
eral pardoning board after the young
man had served part of his term
with recommendation from Judge
Call and he thought it would serve
better purpose.
The delegation took Mr.. Hampton's
advice. Their visit, however, was a
fine testimonial to Mr.. Barnes char
acter and thir own capacity for sym
pathy and helpfulness.
In the party were Messrs. Geo. w.
Hyde, Captain Howard, DR.. Irwin, A.
S. King, Harvey Edwards, W. B. Hold
er, NJ. H. Baum, C. A. Miller, DIR. w.
E. Darlington, r. L. Turner, J. z.

from Crystal River but other parts of
Citrus county.

ment, but he knows many people in
Ocala who make it an everyday prac-
tice to go without things they need to
assist others. Some we know who
make great sacrifces-some devote
their entire lives to helping others,
and if he knows so many in his limit
ed circle of acquaintance, how many
must there be in our great nation
with its hundred million people. Mr..
Voorhees, doesn't know much about
Ocala, but its people are much like
the people of other places. We fear
he has held himself too far aloof from
them all to understand them.
We don't expect to meet Mr.. Rookie
feller or even Mr.. Voorhees, in hell;
in fact, we have never thought nor
said that Uncle John was a bad man.
nor any, more given to raking off the
dollars than anybody else We do not
know that he even believes in hell
but its existence is one of the tenets
of the church he belongs to, and foI
the last twenty centuries every man
who devoted his younger days to ac-
quiring money and his older ones to
giving it away has been under the
suspicion of trying to buy his way
into Heaven. 1t was Christ himself
who spoke of the camel and the
needles eye-we have seen more
praise for Mr.. Rockefeller than fol
Christ from Mr.. Voorhees, pen. We
have noticed that men and womer
who are generous and self-denying
seldom have more than enough, il
enough, for their own needs; and are
never able to stack up colossal for.
tunes. For all we know, Mr.. Rookie
feller gives away his millions gladly
and without expectation of any Other
reward than the joy of giving, which
is indeed a great one.
And now, with Mr.. Voorhees, con
sent, we will take up the next case
before the court.

Travel down the west coast is
heavy this winter. The night trains
on the Atlantic Coast Line are carry
ing their usual long line of Pullmans
to st. Petersburg, Bellair and the
other points much favored by tour
lists. The "Pinellas Special" which
goes up one day and down the next,
is fine, fast train, and always car
ries crowd. The Seaboard Air Line
is doing a big business with its limit
ed and night local trains into st. Pc
tersburg, but doesn't seem to have
cut A. C. L. business down any, SO
there must be more tourists this year
than ever before.

against him in 1912 were passed on
by the people of his district, and to
rake them up again would be like
bringing a man back into court after
he had been acquitted. The law
would forbid the latter, and we think
public sentiment would rebuke the
former. If Mr.. Clark neglects his
duty during his present term, or the
one to which he was elected last No
vember, or if better man comes out
against him in 1916, he may be beat
en-, but raking up the old charges
which his constituents turned down in
1912 would be unjust and useless.

The Journal would not have made
any charge against Congressman
Clark or any other public man had it
not known whereof it spoke. The
proof will be Forthcoming whenever a
competent man to represent the sec
ond district in Congress becomes a
candidate against Mr.. Clark, much of
it having already been presented to
the people of his old district in for
mer campaign when he barely secur-
ed a majority vote, despite all the in
f1uence the railroads and special in
terests could muster in his behalf. To
present the entire Indictment against
Mr.. Clark at this time would accom-.
plish little good, for people are prone
to forget between elections, and the

are willing to stop and play for a
very moderate amount, which can al

SENATOR FLETCHER
OFFERED A SUBSTITUTE
Concerning Ship Purchase Which was
FavorabIy Reported by the Sem
ate Commerce Committee

Washington, Jan. 26.-By a strict
party vote the Senate Commerce
Committee today adopted favorable
report on the Fletcher substitute for
the ship purchase bill.
By the same vote the committee re-
jected the Lodge amendment provid-
ing that no interned ships Of belliger-
ents be purchased. The substitute

The Seaboard Air Line is certainly
doing big business this winter with
its limited trains. Everybody that
goes up or down the line is anxious
to ride on them, and sometimes the
agents are obliged to make people
wait for the locals, as it is not the
policy of the road to allow the cars to
be overcrowded. The extension to st.
Petersburg was welcome to the trav-
cling public, the Seaboard taking
many passengers in and out on the
limited, also good many on the night
locals, which carry Pullmans in and
out of the Sunshine City.

ANOTHER NOTE FROM
MR.. VOORHEES,

Editor Star: l have read your edi-
torial answer to my article in refer
ence to the good person does in this
world, etc. You say | am amusing
is great thing, but l think the Star
man has some amusement features
also. In reference to Mr.. Rockefeller,
the editor says he did not make OIL
OF course he did not. Man did not
make anything, he simply takes what
a higher power has made and brings
them together in such a way as to
make them of use to the world, and
Mr.. R. has certainly done that and
deserves much credit for it. Mr.. Car
negie and his associates did not make
the iron ore which they use, neither
did the great sugar men make their
raw product. As to the poorer peo-
pie denying themselves to help others,
the writer will venture this: There
is not person in Ocala, not even
the Star man, who would go without
one else. Those that help have simp-
ly got more than they need and feel
that they can spare some for others.
Mr.. Rockefeller has built up an i'm
mense fortune by good business meth
DDS, economy, thrift, etc., and am of
the opinion that the Star mans for
tune would not be less if he had the
"know how" and the opportunity.
We do not know whether Mr.. Rookie
feller is going to hell or not-we
very much doubt it-but if he does,
he may meet up with a representa-
tive of the Star. If the camel and
the needles eye applies, Heaven will
be mighty thinly populated for those
who are not rich are trying with might
and main to get that way and if they
don't it is not their fault

Mr.. Voorhees, is not the only per-
son who has set up Mr.. Rockefeller
for a patron saint and contemplated
him so long and earnestly that his de-
votion has impaired his eyesight

Americans, who died too poor to pay
for their own funerals have done more
