Some of our friends have called US
RI hook because of the article in Sat
urdav's Star, which they say "mOcks"
the Silver Springs-Ocala canal The
Star is not in the least opposed to the
the contrary, we very much
wish the government would cut 1t. We
are simply pointing out to our people
what we think they should do-ln
order to secure the canal, and wheth-
er they secure the canal or not. We
have a tolerably good road to the
springs, one auto truck on the road
and one regular boat on the river. We
should give that boat all the freight
it can carry and buy or build another;
keep the auto truck hustling, and put
on another as soon as possible. The
very best improvement this town can
make is a better road to Silver
Springs, dock and warehouse at the
springs and more freight boats on the
river. We can take % to 40 per cent
of our freight that way, without wait
ing for a canal, and be more sure tt
obtain the canal. 1t will take severa
wears to obtain a canal, but we car
use the river right now. We are nov
trying to feed a giant with teaspoon
when common sense demands that h
be fed with a soup ladle. AS for tn
Silver Springs boulevard, our oes
interests demand that it be improv
ed as soon as possible, whether w
have a canal or not.

Some deep thinker has evolved the
theory that this world is the hell of
the other planets, and that we poor
mortals are the souls of evil doors
who have lived on Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune. There may be something
in tit is as reasonable as a good
many other theologies. It's the Stars
opinion that if this theology is sound,
the best people on earth must be ex-
plating the sins of the worst ones on
the other planets, for so far as we
can see the best people have the most
hard luck.

BALFOUR WILL HEAD NAVY
Formation Of the Coalition Cabinet
fer England e Now Nearing
Completion.

London.-progress in drawing up the
coalition ministry has been slow dur
ing the weekend, for the unionist
leaders are still undecided as to how
the chief offices at their disposal shall
be filled.
Several matters, however, have been
definitely settled First. It IS nov
agreed that Mr.. Balfour Is to be first
lord Of the admiralty.
It is a curious selection. because the
justification Of the coalition ministry
Is and must be that It Is to increase
the British national efficiency, and Mr.
Balfour has already said to his friends
that he fears the strain OF this great
office win be too much for his health.
Lord Lansdowne early last week
expressed his view in his case also,
that to take up office again would be
too great a strain upon his health. But
he has reconsidered his decision and
win now enter the ministry. Lord
Lansdowne has worked In complete
sympathy with Bonar Law and his In
fluence Just now Is inevitable In en-
deavoring to adjust conflicting claims
Of the not inoonsiderable number Of
Unionist peers who wish to be in the
government.
Mr.. McKenna will stay at the home
office. It is not expected that the In
dia office win be offered to either
Lord Curzon or Mr.. Churchill The
latter may be invited to join the gov
eminent, but not In one Of the great
offices. The report that Arthur Hen
derson viii be president OF the local
government board is premature. II is
not unlikely appointment to this office
might be offered Sir John Simon.

Charges That the Former Chairman

OF The former president. In the belief
Of the jury, everything Col. Roosevelt

had stood together, persuaded Juror

torman and a Republican-to Join with
them in returning a verdict which Col.
Roosevelt later declared to be "typi-
cally American"
For eleven Of those 10 hours the

dict for the defendant talked to the one
who, while himself favoring a similer
verdict, insisted that the court costs
and disbursements should be divided
between the two principals.
Mr.. Barnes was not in court and
neither was his chief counsel, William

turned. The colonel was there, how
