Dear Sir: | send herewith copy of
certificate, the original of which
have, made by Mr. P. H Nugent,
clerk of the circuit court for this coun-
ty. In your capacity as state attor-
ney you have falsely charged that pa
pers had been taken from the files
in certain suits between myself and
the city of Ocala, and you have sought
to create the impression that these
papers were removed by myself.
l have lived in this country long
enough for people generally to know
what am and what / stand for. I
assure you that nothing which you
can say or do will affect my stand
ing as man or as a lawyer.
This certificate shows in what po-
sition you have placed yourself.
holding the important Office of state
attorney you have deliberately de-
graded and prostituted it to SANDER
and vilifcation. Your conduct in this
matter shows your utter unworthi-
ness to hold public Office.
If you still wish to look your fell
low men in the face and be able to
hold up your head among honest peo-
pie, you should make public confession
and retraction, and thereby offer
PREPARATION may be in your power for
one Of the yilest and most contempt
IDLE acts a public official can be guilty
of.
If you have not manhood enough to
do this you should acknowledge your
unftness to hold the Office you now
occupy and resign. Yours, truly,

THEY ANSWER THEMSELVES


Two of the principal arguments of
railroad men against the government
owning the transportation lines are,
first, that under government control
not enough competent men could be
secured TO handle~them, and, second,
politics would impair their usefulness.
As for the first, the men who are
managing the railroads under corpor-
alton ownership are the very men who
would be employed by the govern
ment for the same work. They would
doubtless work for the government
with the same efficiency, and more
enthusiasm, than they now work for
the corporations. They might also in
time get rid of the railroad conscience
which enables man to approve acts
by railroad that he would consider
dishonorable in an individual.
AS for the second, with the rail.

eminent Of every town along Their
lines, owning several federal judge

degrees, it is difficult to see how pol
tics could influence them any NOR,
than it does at present.

OCALA BANKS ARE
ALL WELL ARMED

The bank robbery in Jacksonville
caused the Star to wonder how the
Ocala banks would come out in a
raid, so one of the reporters went
Monday to inspect the defenses of our
| financial strongholds.
The reporter went into the Ocala
National, told the officials to consider
him Jessiejames, leveled his pencil
with one hand and his fountain pen
with the other and yelled, Hands
up" Henry Stokes, Tom Pasteur and
the other boys obligingly raised their
lhands. They raised four murderous-
looking 38 specials with them. No
telling where the guns came from,
but they were sure-enougn guns ana
the men behind them didn't hold them
like amateurs, either.
The Commercial Bank crowd refus-
ed to be put on review, but there are
at least half a dozen serviceable re-
volvers behind the different desks.
The Munroe & Chambliss Bank is
also well-heeIed, not only with pis-
tolls, but it is reported there is a
buckshot sprinkler or two in handy
places behind the counters.
1t would take a good-sized crowd of
men to rob the Ocala banks. They
are all on the public square, with the
sheriff's office in hundred yards, and
from what the Star knows of the To-
cality a hundred armed citizens could
rally to their rescue in a few minutes.
With their arrangements of desks,
counters and cages, the banks are
tolerably good fortresses themselves.
/ 1t would be mighty hard for less than
half dozen bandits to keep at least
one of the clerks from shooting while
they covered the others, and if two or
more were to duck behind the count
ers they would be in a position to
make it mighty precarious for any
man who tried to get into the money
drawers or vaults.
In addition to this, they all carry
burglar insurance, which makes GER
tain that the country would be search
4 ed with .fine-tooth comb for any
evildoers who attacked them.
1 The Jacksonville robbery was com
mitted on a small bank in an out OF
the way place. If the bandits had at
tackled one of the bigger banks, they
would either have been shot to piece:
by the employees or captured before
they could have made their getaway
I A dozen well-armed and determined
men might nave some success in raid
ing the Ocala banks, but they would
stand a mighty good chance of re
peating the experience of the Young
J er boys at Mortified.

DIED IN SEATTLE
Former Sank Centre Lady Passes
Away After Short Illness.-Bur-
led in This City.

Mrs. w. F. Parish, who died at the
family home in Seattle on Saturday,
Jan. 23rd, 1915, was a former resi-
dent of Sank Centre and daughter of
Hon. Alexander Moore, representa-
tive from Minnesota in the early days
owner of the ground where part of
the city of Minneapolis now stands,
and one of the group of men who
changed the original name from St.
Anthony, also the founder of Sank
Centre. The deceased was the wife
of William E. Parish, principal of the
Pacific City high school, Seattle, and
was herself we'll known in women's
club circles in that city, being one of
the trustees of the Women's Century
Club, at the time of her death.
Mrs. Parish came to Sank Centre
with her parents about 1860 when she
was about three years of age, and
spent most of her life here. She was
educated in the Sank Centre schools
up to the high school and later attend
ed St. Mary's at Faribault. In 1902,
shortly after their marriage, Mr.. and
Mrs. Parish went to Seattle and have
made that their home since. The de-
ceased was formerly an active men,
Der of the Gradatim Club of this city.
Funeral services were held in the
Butterworth Undertaking Company's
chapel in Seattle, with J. D. o. Pow
ers officiating, after which the re-
mains were shipped to Sank Centre

BAND GOES TO PIECES
tres Band.-Young Blood is
Needed.

After a some what tempestuous
career the Sank Centre band has been
wrecked on the shores of internal dis
sention. At special meeting of the
City Council last Thursday evening
the council by a unanimous vote di-
rected the City Clerk to notify all
holders of instruments to return them
to the city's care without delay, and
the Herald understands that Mr..
Cooper now has enough instruments
on hand to start a high grade must
cal emporium.
The Herald is sorry to see the local
organization go to pieces, but the end
has been apparent for some time.
Last summer the Commercial Club
urged the council to appropriate $50
per month for the maintenance of a
band, and H. L. Lamb was appointed
as director 1t is said that the trouble
eliminated Monday evening of last
week, at which time the director re-
fused to be not only director but a
Hague peace tribunal for internal
jealousies and trouble among several
of the musicians. 1t is currently re-
ported that about two-thirds of the
members love peace and are willing
to work for good musical organize
ton, but, like tn director, they be-
came Disguised with the chickering's of
the others.
The Herald would like to see a
band organized of young blood, TAX
ing in such members of the former
band as were interested in music and
the success of the organization and
leave the trouble-makers out. The
Herald does not profess to know who
these are, but we are opposed to half
a dozen men, more or less, keeping
the city without a strong musical or
ganization. No man or set of men
are indispensable. Let the city have a
young band by all means. Of course
they will be handicapped for some
time but the final outcome will be
beneficial all around.

WINS SHADY GAME
Little Falls Defeats Local High School
Team by Questionable Tactics
Friday Evening.

The basket ball game at the Grand
Opera House on Friday evening OF
last week was a disappointment to
the majority of Sank Centre people,
who were not exactly confident that
Sank Centre would win, but still
thought that the local team had a
very good show to come out ahead.
The fact that our boys lost by a 13
to 10 score does not amount Co much
in itself but the way in which the
victory was made possible is the main
cause for dissatisfaction. That the
Little Falls team played a scientific
game cannot be denied as they had
studied out the rules that could be
stretched good deal and slipped over
a slack referee, and governed their
plays accordingly. The rule most fire.
quently taken advantage of was Rule
XI, Sec. IS, subsection (a) which
reads: "a player shall not advance
with the ball while in bounds he
must play it from the spot on which
he catches it. Allowance is to be
made for one who catches it while
running, provided he throws it at
once or stops as soon as possible. This
shall not be interpreted as interfering
with mans turning around without
making progress, as long as he keeps
one foot in place. The referee or Um-
pire shall call foul for violation of
this rule" The allowance" part Of
the ruling was worked overtime.
Brennan, the Little Falls center,
made more fouls of this nature than
any other one man, but the whole
team was inclined that way. The idea
that a fast man must do this is wrong
but it takes careful coaching to break
the habit. Other Objectionable fea-
lures were the coaching of the Little
Falls team by Swanson during the
game, while he was acting as umpire
in the first half and as referee in the
last half. Little Falls played a fast
game and pulled together well in
their teamwork, but to say that Sank
Centre did not play as good game
would be unjust to the home boys.
They stayed with the heavier team
gamely and in the face of unfair de-
cisions but towards the end of the last
half slowed down noticeably. With
about two minutes to play Brennan
of the Little Falls aggregation work
ed a "stall" that was so crude that no
one but a mole would fall for it. The
said center was suddenly attacked
with a twisted ankle and his

BILL SHOULD PASS

Senator Peterson has introduced a
bill providing for a license of $500
upon all dealers who give away trad
ing stamps or premiums of any kind
with merchandise. Of all the nui-
sances in business, the trading stamp
or premium fad is the worst, remind
ing one of the fellow who was to re-
ceive a lead pencil if he saved the
bands off 500 cigars. The average
premium is of little value, rarely USE
full, and the Herald hopes that the
measure will become a law.
