CLARK HAS A GOOD PLAN

The Star sent, the other day, to
Congressman Clark in Gainesville, a
clipping from a recent issue of the
paper, telling of the good work of the
Ocala children who thru the civic
committee of the Woman's Club had
been furnished by Mr.. Clark with
flower seed. The following letter in
reply was received by the Star this
morning:
editor Star: 1 am certainly de-
lighted to learn that the children
were SO successful in their flower cul-
ture enterprise. 1t has given me an
idea. Next season / think / shall try
to get up contest of some sort over
the entire district, confning it, of
course, to children of certain age
1t might be well to offer prizes to the
girls in flower culture and to the boys
on the best acre OF corn, cotton OF
some staple crop. 1t strikes me that
5000 or $500 spent in giving prizes in
contest like this would be great
stimulus to the young girls and
boys"

ORLANDO WANTED THEM ALL


The Star and many other prominent
citizens of Ocala this week received
copies of the following invitation
from the wideawake board of trade of
Orlando:
Orlando, Fla, June 7th, 1915.
Dear Sir: We cordially invite you
to attend meeting of the Central
Florida Highways Association, here,
Thursday, June 10th.
Yours cordially,
Chas. P. Dow, President
Orlando Board of Trade.
The Star is sorry that it could not
personally accept the invitation, but
number of our citizens, more for
tunate, are in the Phenomenal City
today
The Ocala evening star., 1915-06-10

At the request of many leading
citizens of Ocala, and with its own
sincere appreciation, the Star thanks
State Senator Glenn Terrell for his
good work at the recent session of the
legislature. He was faithful to his
trust, and, when it is considered that
this was his first legislative exper-
fence, he showed remarkable eficien-
cy. He will represent the district fol
another session of the legislature, al
which his experience gained in the
last term will make him more valua-
BILE than ever to his constituents. Mr.
Terrell has taken very broad view
of all matters he has had to deal with
and If we could always elect such
men to office we would have little
trouble with government.
The Ocala evening star., 1915-06-10

The Star is not disposed to be pro-
nounced in criticism of the Georgia
authorities if they persist in hanging
Leo Frank. We do not believe the
officials would mete out the extreme
penalty to the young man unless they
were convinced of his guilt. They are
nearer to the subject and more fully
acquainted with the evidence than
people in other states. At the same
time, the Star thinks it is justified in
saying that while the evidence against
Frank is very strong, it is not suffi-
cient to hang him on. We hope the
governor will commute his sentence to
life Imprisonment, and give the truth
a full opportunity to be fully estab-
lished.

BOARD 0F TRADE

The first meeting for June, of the
Board of Trade was held last night,
President Rogers in the chair and
Secretary Rooney recording. A large
attendance was present and much in
terest was manifest.
Secretary Rooney gave a report of
the meeting of the Dixie Highway
Commission at Chattanooga, and the
work being done for the Central Flor
ida section of the route, which will
pass thru Ocala.
A set of resolutions offered by Mr..
C. Carmichael were adopted, and a
number of minor matters that came
before the board were attended to,
after which the board adjourned.
Following are the resolutions offer
ed by Mr.. Carmichael:
Whereas, the Dixie Highway, which
has been started from Chicago to Mi
ami; and, whereas, the recent meet
ing at Chattanooga favors an east
ern and western route; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Marion County
Board of Trade endorse the central
route, leaving the highway at Live
Oak or Lake City, thence to Gaines
vile, out of Ocala to Leesburg, Or
lando, Kissimmee and Arcadia, and
thence upon such route as may be
agreed upon to Miami.
Resolved, That we further endorse
making an additional loop at Ocala to
Dunnellon, Brooksville, Tampa and
such route thence as will loop on to
the other branch of the Dixie High
way. Delegates instructed accord
ingly.

That political conditions in Volusia
county have been rotten for a num-
Der of years is generally admitted.
The assertion is often made that such
and such man was elected to this or
that office but was counted out. The
opinion is widespread that no man
who has the courage to fight the
county political machine has the
slightest chance of securing Office,
even though large majority of the
voters should cast their ballots for
him. There has been no appeal from
this alleged ballot box stufing and

The Metropolis Washington CORES
pondent says President Wilson may
try to form a coalition cabinet, and
will offer the state portfolio to either
former President Taft, former Secre-
tary of State Elihu Root or former
Secretary of State P. C. Knox. Mr..
Taft is a genuine statesman and his
appointment would be acceptable to
the entire country. Mr.. Root is too old
to hold the office and Mr.. Knox is one

Harrison, lifelong democrat, and
has been an international lawyer for
many years Mr.. Lansing has prepar-
ed memoranda for all the important
notes that have gone to belligerent
governments since the European war
began, and is looked upon not only as
an expert in international law but as
clear thinker and adviser. For
many years he has served on boun-
dary commissions and tribunal. He
is a comparatively young man, well
acquainted with all the governments s
policies, and has won the admiration
of the president and Mr.. Bryan by his
loyalty to the secretary of state as
his superior officer. On many occas-
ions Mr.. Lansing has submitted mem

from those of Mr.. Bryan, but he has
tactfully avoided embarrassments.
