Claude L'Engle, known all over the

the legislative session and will no
doubt use his trenchant pen to good
purpose in the cause of useful and
progressive legislation. Claude Len
gle is merciless critic of wrongdoing
and absolutely fearless in its denun-

islative doings will be well worth read

in attendance on the meeting of the
State Press Association:
"Miss Marguerite Porter repre-

son Bell of Ocala, were present at the
meeting. Miss Bell was formerly
under Governor Gilchrist of the state

resigned later The governor said
she was the best official in a clerical
capacity in the Florida state capital
She could lay her hands Immediately

ENGINEER TWOMBLEY
GAVE COUNCIL ADVICE

Mr.. A. H. Twombley, the compe-
tent engineer, who surveyed the city
year before last, was in town Thurs
dav. and conferred with members OF
the e-council regarding plans for the
intended new sewerage system, also
the prospective new electric current
and water plant.
Mr.. Twombley was on his way home
to New York from Tampa, where he
/ has been looking after a large con-
tract for his firm. Simply on account
of the interest he takes in Ocala af-
fairs. he stopped in town to give the
counciImen needed information. The
council already has one good Gus
toner for the sewerage bonds, and
there will be no trouble in disposing
of them.
Estimates have been submitted to
the council for combined electric
and water plant at cost of not more
than $4,000. Such a plant will be
available for the present needs Of the
city and for some years, and as busi,
ness increases can be added to. Mr.
Twombley gave the council points OF
the great economy of a Diesel oil en-
CINE, with auxiliary steam power. The
Diesel is the engine that made th'
submarine torpedo boat possible, an'
is even more useful and economical
for peaceful purposes.
The council has information that
ready market can be found for tn
bonds. The city has no time to throE
!, away in building the new plant, TO
! the present waterworks are alread
overtaxed.

Seminole war and the present, some
fifty-seven years, during which the
Florida Indians have not been inter-
fered with by white men to any great
extent. sShort Talks point IS well
taken, however The Seminoles in the
Everglades are fairly typical Of the
North American Indians who pos
sessed almost the entire continent
when the white man came, and Heav-
en- only knows how many centuries
before. They fished and hunted, cul-
tivated small patches of corn and
beans, lived in little novels Of barb
and skins, never built anything more
| imposing than canoe, kept each
other thinned out with their triba
wars, and if they had remained IN
/ molested would most likely have beer
in the same condition today. The in
justice that the sentimentalists &C
cuse the white man of was no create
than the injustice the Indians wer'
constantly inficting on each other.
The Ocala evening star., 1915-03-27

"a great deal of sympathy is vast
ed on the Seminoles of Florida" re-
marks the OcaIa Star. "They have
had over half century of undis-
puted opportunity to make self
sustaining and prosperous people of
themselves. 1t isn't in them to do it,
and the white people are not respon-
sible for their lack of enterprise"
The Star is right, except as to the
time. The American Indian had cen
turies that we know nothing about in
which to make something more than
mere tramps of themselves, and they
did not do it. They are born rovers,
idlers and with little prospect of ever
being anything more than a memory
in the next few centuries.-Times-
Union Short Talks.
In speaking of over half a century
of opportunity, the Star referred tc

"A Jacksonville paper announces
that Senator N. P. Bryan will be
candidate before the primaries of next
year as a candidate to succeed him
self in the United States Senate. In
the published statement Senator Bry-
an points out that since he has been a
member of the United States Senate
Congress has been in almost contln-
uous session and that he has been in
Washington attending to the duties
for which the state sent him there
He calls attention to the historical
fact that Florida has never yet refus-
ed to return a senator after having
given him a first term, and he sur
misses that unless something has oc-
CURED of which he is not aware, the
state will not reverse its usual pro-
| ceeding 1t is to be very much doubt
| ed whether the sectional issue which
has been raised on account Of Senator
Bryan's residence in Jacksonville will
count for SO very much when the pri-
mary votes are counted. That has been
a cry that has created much ante
election talk but which has never in
fiuenced votes to any considerable de-
gree. It will probably have not the
slightest effect on the present SEN
ator's candidacy or his primary
strength. Opponents of the senator
will have to find something much
more vital than mere location, if they
expect Ito keep him from going back
to the Senate from this state as his
own Miami Herald.
/ The feeling that Jacksonville has
more than its share of offices is grow
ing more pronounced, and will be
enough to decide a close contest some
of these days. 1t seems to the Star
however, that Senator Bryan can
come as near as any man to claiming
that he belongs to the entire state. He
was brought up in South Florida, anc
only moved to Jacksonville because
residence in that city gave him larger
opportunities The matter for Flor
ida voters to decide is whether he de
serves re-election-not where he hap
pens to live.

When Florida starts in to kill the
buzzards, which have been declared a
public menace, would it not be a good
plan to dispose of the human buz-
yards, which. unfortunately, are to be
found in practically every city and
town in the state? They do more
damage and cause more heartaches
than all the carrion birds do in year.
One thing Florida needs, and needs at
once, is a decrease in the number Of
the 4 am holier than thou buzzards,
and a little more of the milk of hu-
man kindness-Lake Worth Herald
Say, are you real sure there wasn't
any "holier than thou" sand in your
gizzard when you wrote the fore

The loss of the F-4 will send a
thrill of sadness through America.
Great Britain and France have lost
several submarines in this manner,
but the accident off Honolulu is the
frst of the kind that has happened to
the United States. The F-4 was only
a little boat with scant quarter OF
hundred men, but its loss gives
America a little inkling of how Great
Britain, France and Germany feel
losing hundreds of brave sailors al
most every week.
