THE STAR OPPOSES THE NEW
BATTERY COMPANY FOR
NEGROES.

Because of the great stress put upon
us by the coming election, The Star is
unable to give only briefly the reasons
why it, at this time, opposes the for
nation of the new battery companies
of Negroes. First: 1t was hatched up
only as an emergency salvation to give
few white officers some u. S. money
by continuing them in service. Second:
because it is not definitely settled
whether this Negro company will have
all white officers or part white or all
Negro officers. The Star emphatical-
ly stands for all Negro officers for Ne
gro companies. Let white instructor
train and teach them and then let them
get their position by competitive ex-
amina tions, showing absolutely no fear
nor favor for any person. We oppose
it because we feel that such notice
to the Negroes should have come
through our only Negro Military or
ganization, Corporal White Camp. This
camp of Negro Spanish war veterans
was totally ignored Let us stand
and fight for their recognition. We
oppose because we have not clearly
understood the moving cause" for
this hasty formation of one of the
most difficult branches of the army.
The officers must be expert mathema-
ticians, we'll versed in trignometry,
measurements of all angles, triangles,
must know the altitude and heights to
hurl shells, etc. If it was mere con-
Nenience that born them into existence
it would only have to have "a conven-
ience or necessity" to blot us out the
way we came in.
1t is for three years enlistment SO
we call the peoples attention to be
little reserved and carefully investi-
gate where it might lead as you are
then a part of the U. S. Army. Recall
how our own Negro officers in U. 5.
Army now are not allowed to be With
their regiments. SO it will be with
these proposed Negro officers. What
can we lose if we pass it up? Think,
what?

AN APPEAL TO JUsTicE-LOvING
MEN AND WOMEN.
Dojna the Square Thing-Are You
One?

The Ministerial Alliance of Denver,
together with the Denver Peoples Al
lance, after thorough investigation
of the case of ]. w. Jones, have de-
cided that his is worthy cause for
the charity and assistance OF all COL
ored men and women. 1t appears
that in self defense he killed another
man. He was tried and sentenced to
hang Dec Is, 1914. Ex-Gov. Ammons
reprieved him until May, 1915. We
must raise 5000 to get his case to
the Supreme court before that time.
Jones is without friends, has no mon
ey and faces death. We believe the
Supreme court will rule in his favor.
We must raise 5000. We appeal to
you. act at once. Send your dona-
tions to Titus S. Rector, 2716 Welton
street, Denver, Colo.

SOME FORMS OF RHEUMATISM
CURABLE,

Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and In the
muscles. The most common forms
are: Acute and Chronic Rheumatism,
Rheumatic Headaches. Sciatic Rheu-
matism and Lumbago. All OF these
types can be helped absolutely by ap-
plying some good liniment that pene-
trates. An application Of sloan's Lin
iment two or three times day to the
affected part will give instant relief
Sloan's Liniment is good for pain, and
especially Rheumatic Pain, because 1t
penetratcs to the seat of the trouble,
soothes the afflicted part and draws
the pain. "Sloan's Liniment is all
medicine" Get 25c bottle now. Keep
It handy in case of emergency.

THOMAS B. SNYDER

Word was received here this morn
ing by telegram TO the Masonic
lodge. giving the news of the death
yesterday in Portland, Oregon, of Mr..
Thomas r. Snyder, who resided in
Ocala for a good many years. leav-
ing this city for the northwest about
six years ago.
Mr.. Snyder, when he came to Flor
ida from Pennsylvania, settled at
Okahumpka, a few miles south of
Ieesburg, where he invested eonsid-
cradle money and planted an orange
grove. Later he moved to Ocala and
mad charge of the clothing depart
ment of the II. B. Masters Co, leav-
ing that company's employ to en-
cage in the haberdashery business
for himself, establishing and conduct
ing for several years the business
that Mr.. II. A. Waterman now has.
Mr.. Snyder came from a fine ole
Pennsylvania family and has broth
er in Pittsburg, who is an iron minel
or manufacturer, reputed to be yer.
wealthy.
Mr.. Snyder, though long absen
from Ocala, has a great many friend
remaining in the city who will b
panied to learn of his death.

Mr.. w. A. Bailey of Istachatta,
died at his home in that place at 3
o'clock yesterday morning after an
illness of two weeks of typhoid fever.
Mr.. Bailey was about 80 years Of
age and had resided at or near Ista-
chatta for many years. He was well
known in Ocala, where he often came
on business and had a great many
friends here who will be g1ieved to
hear of his death.
Mr.. Bailey married daughter of
Mr.. C. Bull of Shady, a few miles
southwest of town who, with ten
children, survives him.
The funeral services were held yes
terday at o'clock and the body laid
to rest i'm the village cemetery at Is
tachatta.
Mr.. Bailey had been engaged IN
the naval stores and sawmill bushes:
for a good many years and for
! number of years farmed extensively

zen and always met his obligation
like man.

families. These people, ground down
by the intense competitive system,
overworked and underfed, and from
the nature of their surroundings,
greatly given to drink, are mentally
and physically unfit for soldiers. Ger
MANY has been criticised for training
her men up TO be soldiers, which may
be a bad thing, but Great Britain
seems to be training hers down to be
industrial slaves, which is worse.
The strike among the Welsh coal
miners is a proof of this writer's con-
tentions. The miners, on whose work
depends the supply of coal needed for
the British navy, are accused OF
treason in striking at this time. The
fact is that the men see their en-
Movers becoming vastly wealthy of
the country's direct needs, and de-
mand a little of the spoils for them
selves. 1t is hardly possible to make
patriots out of wage slaves and slum
dwellers. which is a lesson America
needs to learn almost as badly as
/ Britain.

A gentleman from Williston IN
forms us that W. NJ. Stafford of the
Courier says that Jasper Willis has
nothing to do with the editorial"
work on that paper. We are glad to
hear it: we had always believed that
Jasper Willis had considerable sense
and some principle, and the party who
is writing for the Courier shows a
great lack of both. Instead of trying
to debate the question of county divis-
ion with the decency and fairness that
all public matters should be discuss
ed, he has entered on a policy of per-
sonal abuse and wholesale misrep-
resentation that is wearisome and dis
gushing. The Star has no quarrel
with any citizens of Northwest Mar
ion who desire to go into new coun-
ty. 1t desires to keep them all witt

THE CASE OF THAw

We believe a great mistake was
made when Thaw's attorneys enter
ed for him the plea of insanity. We
are confident he would have been ac-
Quilted if he had relied on the IN
written law. He did right in killing
Stanford White and the world would
gain rather than lose if it recognized
the right of the wronged man to
shoot down all such men as Stanford
White whenever n reason offered 1t
self for doing so. This might have re-
suited in the killing of Harry Thaw
himself though we do not know that
he was as depraved as was the man
he killed. He may have been wild and
immoral without being a menace to
the public, but a man who carries his
| immortality to such an extent as TO be
| a public danger can easily be spared
from the world. The unwritten law
/ is supposed to be part of the code of
the South only. If so it increases our
respect for the South as compared
with other sections.-Times-Un Union.
The Star admires the Times
Unions courage in coming right out
and saying that Thaw did right il
killing White. The average man or
the street will say the same thing
but the Times-Union is one of th'
few big papers that have unquali
fiedly agreed with the Star on thi
. point.

The Ocala Star expresses regret
because the policemen in that city
are required to wear coats during the
summer. Reference is made by the
Star to a western town where the
scoops" were allowed to go about In
their "shirt-sleeves" and the example
is recommended to the Ocala author
tiles. The coat, however, is rather
useful-suppose it rains, can he stay
under cover indefinitely ?-Times-
Union Short Talks.
We don't know about Jacksonville
but the average Ocala cop knows
enough to come in when 1T rams
Also, in Ocala, it rains definitely and
not indefinitely. When it rains in
OcaIa or anywhere else, a policeman
who has to be exposed to it puts on a
rain coat, as an ordinary coat is OF
little use in a shower. Some of oul
policemen were out on the streets
Sunday without their coats, but with
their badges pinned on their shirts
They looked comfortable and DIS
charged their duties as well as usual
We hope the mayor and members o.
the police committee will allow thu
innovation to become custom. DIS
comfort doesn't add to efficiency, ant
a policeman buttoned up to the necl
lin a coat these hot days is very un
comfortable.

Ocala boasts of having the best
roads in the state. Ocala does the
boasting, not Marion county. And
why not blow about good roads, as
nearly all the money collected in Ma
rion county through heavy taxation
for road building is expended on the
highways in and around Ocala ?
Williston Courier.
The writer of the foregoing is
densely ignorant or willfully I'M
truthful, probably both. The good
roads of Marion county begin at the
county seat, of course. For the last
half a dozen years, the work on them
has been done nearer the outskirts OF
the county than to Ocala, as the re-
cords show. The records also show
that man for man and mile for mile
Ocala has paid more in proportion on
these roads than any other precinct
and will continue to do so as long as
there is any Ocala and Marion coun-
lty. If WillistOn becomes a county
seat. good roads will of course begir
building out of Williston, and Willis
ton has not one-tenth of the taxable
property to help county road building
with that OcaIa has. More Ocali
money than Mcintosh money L
spent on the north end of the road t.
Gainesville; more Ocala money thai
Weirsdale money is spent on tn
south end of the road to Leesburg
more Ocala money than Blitchto1
money is being spent on the road t
lMorriston. All these things are cas-
to prove by looking at the roads an
the county records. The editor of tn
Courier is ignorant of both, and n
wouldn't dare to displease the littl
clique he is working for by telling tn
truth if he knew it.

the Judge shook hands with many

Chinese joss or a natural born liar to
be able to look anybody straight in

Some of the leaders of the Grand
Army of the Republic and of the
United Confederate Veterans plan to
propose that the two organizations
hold a last great, combined reunion in
Chattanooga in 1920 and then disband
forever The reason for this Is that
the veterans on both sides are be-
coming so old and feeble, as well as
few, that it is considered better to
discontinue the reunions before they
die natural death. In May, 1920.
the war between the states will have
been over for fifty FIVE years, and
the youngest among the veterans will
be at least 70 years old. 1t is not un-
