BITTER Arrangement
Or CONDITIONS IQL
GRATED IN THE SOUTH

''The south is backward. 1t
shames the United States by iliteracy
and incompetence. Its hill men and
poor whites, it's masses of feared
and bullied blacks, its ignorant and
violent politicians, its rotent indus
trial conditions, and it's rotten social
ideas exist in Circumstances which
disgrace the United States in the
though of Americans and in the opinion
of foreigners.
"When the north exhibits a demon
stration of violence against law by
gutter rats of society, there is shame
in the locality which was the scene of
the exhibition. When the south ex
bibits it there is defiance of opinion.
''The south is barely half educated.
Whatever there is explicable in the
murder of Leo NJ Frank is thus ex-
plsinable. Leo M. Frank was an
atom in the American structure. He
might have died, unknown or ignor
ed, a thousand deaths more agonizing
in preliminary torture and more
cruel in final execution, and have
had no effect. but the spectacle OF a
struggling human being, helpless be-
fore fate as a mouse in the care of q
cat will stagger American complacen-
cy.
"The south is half educated. 1t is
a region of illiteracy. blatant self
righteousness, cruelty. and violence.
Until it is improved by the inva.
sion of better blood and better ideas
it will remain reproach and danger
to the American republic. "-CHlCA-

The Country Editor

Representative Harold c. Kissinger
of the Illinois general assembly, is
the champion of the county news
paper editor. In recent debate in
the legislature, he had this to say /:
"There is no one nearer the people
in the rural communities of our state
and in our smaller cities and towns
than the country editors. They pro-
tect the interests of the citizens.
They boost the town they live in.
They contribute time and energy and
money to the upbuilding of their home
communities. This nation needs our
small town cities. They are the
foundation of our prosperity and our
civilization. they are what the few
great cities we have live off of, they
are the strong fundamental structure
upon which we must build our busi-
ness prosperity and stable govern
ment. Former Ambassador Bryce,
the great English economist, said that
the menace of America was her great
cities, and that the establishment of
the American government and the
future of American civilization rested
upon her small cities and towns and
rural communities. If we want to
protect and upbuild the country COM
mun;ty, let US vote in favor of the
country editor, for they are among
the stanchest, truest, hardest- working
friends of all Of the splendid institu-
tions we have Throughout the state. Z"

FIVE DOLLARS REWARD |!

The home economics committee of
the Ocala Woman's Club will give
five dollars in gold to the person ex-
hibiting at the Marion County Fair
the best home manufactured labor
saving device for use in the home.
Such articles as freless cookers, ice
less refrigerators, egg testers, etc.,
have been put together by home in
genuity and there are doubtless
others in the homes throughout the
county. Bring them in to the fair
and some one will get a five dollar
gold piece.
The only condition is that there
shall be at least three competitors.
Our object is to do away with the old
saying:
Man works from sun to sun
But woman's work is never done.n

In old times the gentlemen was an
"armiger"- man entitled to bear
arms. We have decided that he who
bears arms is not safe and sane
citizen, and thought the conclusion
had been reached that national arm
ed preparedness was not only wicked
but foolish. But if national military
preparedness be right, should we not
repeal all the statutes antagonistic to
the constitutional declaration that the
citizen should never be deprived OF
his right to bear arms ?-Times-
Union.
If we don't we are headed for that
same Prussian "junkerism" that is
now distracting the world.

The Star has not much doubt about
the result of the dispute between
America and Great Britain. In the
past one hundred years, this country
and Great Britain have had disputes
over the Oregon boundary, the Mason
and Slidell affair, the Alabama claims,
the Venezuelan and Alaskan boun-
daries, the Panama canal and several
other matters of less note. In these
disputes, Great Britain, better able
than any other nation, to fight this
country, has always shown a spirit to
treat it fairly and settled to its salts
faction. The only reason the Star
can see for so many Americans show
i ing truculent disposition toward the
English is that they are evidently
ignorant of the history of their own
country.

gone and done it. We have hurt the
feelings of Willis B. Powell of the

umn article almost as long as himself
and whacked US over the head with it.
We take it all back, Powell, old scout,
swear we never said it and promise
not to do so any more. AS we have
said before, your handling of the
Mendenhall case was strictly and adj

vative papers; its editor one of the

THE RACES

Races don't make things to eat OF
wear, and are no proof of the foun-
|dations of a, community; nevertheless,
they are big feature, and it is to be
doubted that any fair would be sue
cessful without them. All our Ocala
horsemen and their animals were
present, with many from other places
and the races were holding the pop
ular interest. Most of the animals
and their owners will be in Ocala
week after next, and every person
who likes to see a good race should
also be present.

CHAPTER XxxvI.
In aPete's Palace

N II EANWHILE at the south por-
NJ tai of the Lady Veronica
mines there are excitement
and alarm. Some ranchers
from the valley below have borne back
the wounded and half unconscious
young miner who had driven Esther
and Quabba. when they were attacked
by Blair and Luke on the lonely noun
tain road, while being taken TO the
nearest railroad station, thirty miles
away.
I do not know what became of the
young lady and the little Italian man
with her, murmurs the young miner
and tears of weakness and vexation
welled to his eyes. Il would have died
gladly to save her! / did the best /
could for her.
Some of the boys seen the tracks
of the blackboard turn off on the old
road that amt used no more" said one
of the ranchmen. Tom here rode
back and found a camp, but the buck
board and bosses and everybody was
gone. Them two fellers stole bosses
from San Marcos ranch, and they must
have caught the girl and the little Ital-
ian fellerr'
The beauty and charm of Esther, the
strange secrecy of her quest for the
man she, too, called John Powell, in
his hearing, had impressed the mine
foreman The cost of the long dis
lance telephoning to Los Angeles was
to his mind a prodigious thing, but
well was his desperate extravaganza
though charged to the company-re-
warded by the broken, excited thanks
which poured from the mouth of his
millionaire employer.
Eyes, yes; you did right, Mckenzie,
to call me up and tell me. oh, hang
the expense, man! I'll give you S10,-
600 if the young lady is all right! Stop
all work, arm all the men and search
everywhere till the girl is found!
Don't stop TO ask questions, and if the
men are caught who molested her
string them up or shoot them down
or both! I'm taking the fastest car,
and I'm making dead straight for the
mines!''
