TOUGH LUCK FOR BLIND TIGERS

The Tallahassee Democrat of the
10Th describes as follows the bill that
has just passed the legislature for the
special encouragement of the Illicit
selling of whisky:
The House passed on its third read
ing Tuesday Senate bill Nc. 276, by
Gornto. The bill re-enacts the statute
of 1911, except it defines 'near beer, "
so as to exclude all drinks containing
any per cent of alcohol.
The law makes the first offence of
selling liquor in "dry county or pre-
cincts," punishable by a fine not to
exceed $500, or Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding six months. Penalty for
selling liquor without license shall be
fined $500 or be imprisoned not more
end Imprisonment.
The second offense is punishable by
fine not to exceed $4,000 or FIVE
years Imprisonment in the state pris-
on or both such fine and imprison-
ment.
The bill as now written given coun-
ty courts exclusive and original juris-
diction in such cases, excluding Gus
tees of the peace" from the trial OF
offenses committed under sections
and 2.
This bill is a strong temperance
measure. 1t means, in simple Ian
guage, that no drink, of any kind, car
be sold in dry counties, containing
any per cent of alcohol. Thus "neal
beer" of all sorts is abolished by this
act. Second, the bill makes the sec.
ond offense punishable by fine anC
penalty so heavy that but few car
escape the cells of the state prison
who are persistent offenders. 1t nov
looks like Tallahassee and all othel
dry cities will have to have continu
ously only new blind tigers or a Sc
of blind tigers harder to catch thar
is now the case. 1t is now up to thu
officers.
Messrs. Cribs of Hamilton am
Roberts of Monroe, cast the only neg
alive votes, there being SO votes il
the affirmative.

notice of this and commended their
action.
A report was presented from the
two remaining trustees Of the Cand-
Ter school that F. Z. Driver, the other
trustee, hal moved from the com
munity and recommending that DIR.
A. Belcher be appointed TO i'll out

A request was presented from two
of the trustees of the Belleview school
that the board re-apPOint Mr.. and
Mrs. A. b. Conner teachers for the
Belleview school for the coming term.
1t not being known that this would be
satisfactory with the teachers, action
was postponed for future action.
Notice was presented from the
two remaining trustees of the Sum
merfield school that G. Kim, one OF
the trustees, had moved from the
community and recommending that
H. C. Croft be appointed to fill out
the unexpired term. 1t was ordered
that he be duly commissioned.
A request was presented from the
trustees of the Gambler school that

ITALY.s DEMANDS ON AUSTRIA

Following is a list of the minimum
demands made upon Austria in behalf
of Italy by Foreign Minister Sonnino:
First, the cession of the entire pro-
vince of Trent (part of the Austrian
TyroD, according to the frontier of
the kingdom of Italy in 1911
Second, eastern Friuelo, comprising
Malborgeth, Plezzo, ToImino, Ora
disea, Goritz, Monfaleone, Comen and
as far south as Nabresina.
/ Third, Trieste, Cape DTstria and
Pirano (the last two in Istria) to
form Austria.
Fourth, the islands of Curzola
LISA, Lesina, Lagosta, Cazza. ant
Maleda (off the coast of Lower Dial
matia), to be coded to Italy.
Fifth, the abandonment by Austris
of her interests in Albania, acknowl
edging Italian sovereignty over Av
Iona.
As Austria couldn't be much wors'
off after being whipped than in grant
ing these demands, its no wonde
that the dual monarchy prefers t.
fight.

Division Superintendent III. o. Nc
Arthur of the A. C. L. was visitor
to Ocala today Mr.. Macarthur said
he had not received authentic news
of any changes in schedule. He
thinks It probable there will be some
changes for 81 and SO, the night
trains, but doesn't believe trains
and 10 (morning and EVENING" will
be taken off as they are doing the
best business of any trains on the
division. He says the Ocala, Gaines
vile and Palatka trains are doing
very little business, not anything
like what was expected by the people
! who insisted on their being put on
He inquired particularly about tn
prospects for Marion county farmers
Mr.. Macarthur returned to Gaines
vile this afternoon. His Ocala friend
are always glad to see him.

No one need be surprised if Bull
garia joins the Teutonic-Turkish al
lance in the next few days. The
Bulgarians have strong and eff
cient army, and all their interests lie
in the direction of Germanic success
They are isolated among the Slavs
and Greeks, and if the Allies win
they will forever reamin a stunted
and circumscribed nation. Also, they
have been badly treated by Russia
Greece and Serbia, and well treated
by Austria. The advance of one Bull

another to the Dardanelles, would be

Ion L. Farris, state senator from
Duval, will probably be a candidate
for governor Mr.. Farris is very
brilliant young man, and during his
various terms in the legislature has
introduced and supported many good
measures. He lived much of his boy
hood in Ocala, which gives Marion
county a particular interest in his
career. However, the Star doesn't
think he is as strong as Will Knott in
this territory.

President Wilson, in his speech at
the luncheon given to officers of the
American navy in New York, declar-
ed that "America asks nothing for
herself except what she has a right
to ask for humanity" This is a
higher, nobler utterance than Ger
man diplomacy has made, and so far
as the Star has seen, higher than any
German "kultur" has conceived. 1t is
the proper expression of great re
public, and opposed to all the ideals
of autocracfes and monarchies.

No one need suppose that the
changes in the British cabinet mean
that there is any internal crisis in
the affairs of that nation. The
changes are no more than are often
brought about in the United States by
a congressional election. The sys-
tenn of government in Great Britain
makes changes in the ministry likely
to happen at any time, but this does
not mean any disorders among the
people or alteration of the nations
policy.

We don't suppose the legislature
will heed our advice, but if it viii
appoint a state board of investigation
of all the state institutions, to be
composed of five men, to be appoint
ed from the stats of the leading
newspapers of the state, each paper
to chose its own representative, there
will be mighty little corruption or
cruelty in convict camps, reform
schools, state printing offices, uni
versities, schools or any other insti-
tuition the state is responsible for.

This is a praiseworthy distinction
and one that should be kept up. If
we keep on building boats and carry
ing passengers and freight on the Ok
lawaha, the river is sure to receive
its needed Improvement in time. The
government helps those who help
themselves.

then loafs down thru Florida, arriving
in Ocala at 1880, when it is due
