The grand jury of Duval county
has indicted Herbert B. Race and S.
G.. Harrison, who were officials of the
Commercial Bank of Jacksonville
when it went broke. Race is in Hon
duras, but Harrison is yet in Jack
sonville. It's the Stars opinion that
wher the facts are known it will be
found that much of the information
which led to the indictment of these
men was furnished by State Con-
troller Knott. Mr.. Knott informed
the Star some months ago that he
was doing all in his power to have the
Commercial Bank and some other
smaller matters Strengthened out. Mr..
Knots critics should remember, and
probably could, if they would, that he
isn't a sheriff or prosecuting attor-
ney.

The chivalric maner in which Edi-
tor Benjamin of the Ocala Star advo-
Gates the denomination of Senator
Bryan, cannot but please the friends
of the other candidates and, at the
same time, it will certainly help the
senator in his campaign. While giving
strong reasons for supporting Senator
Bryan, Editor Benjamin speaks in
terms of the greatest respect for his
opponents. But that is the way that
your real gentleman engages in dis
cussion.-Punta Gorda Herald.
We especially appreciate this CON-
pliment, because, as most Florida
people know, it comes from a real
gentleman.

The Star is somewhat surprised at
the mistrial in the case of Tom Wat
son, which took place at Augusta,
Ga. few days ago. 1t expected him
to be acquitted. For practical pur-
poses, however, the mistrial was the
same as an acquittal, and the pros
ecution will probably be dropped.
The Star does not approve of
Watson's policy. He tells some truth
and exposes some abuses, but what
good he does is exceeded by the Bit
ter prejudice which he stirs up. How
ever, it is best that his poison should
be its own antidote. People don't have
to read or believe his publications, and
if he can be prosecuted other and
more meritorious men can be also.

DIR. ]. M. Gross, after a couple of
days of sickness, is recovering, and
will probably preach tomorrow. DR..
Gross must leave in few days to at
tend the annual Florida conference.
He has been with US two years, and
has by his good sense and deep char
ity made for himself wide place in
the esteem of Ocala people. The Star
sincerely hopes the conference will
send DIR. Gross to stay at least an
other year in Ocala.

ELECTION HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH IT

Even if the supreme court had not
knocked it out, the wet or dry cleo
ton would not affect it any more than
the city election of Dec. IA. The leg
islature ordered the amendment to be
voted on in the general election of
1916, at which all voters qualified to
vote in the election of Tuesday will
be entitled to participate. In view of
the supreme court decision, it will
probably not be voted on.

GRANDFATHER CLAUSE is DEAD

A good many colored people read
the newspapers, and every man who
reads the newspapers knows, or
should know the grandfather clause
lis as dead as Hector. The supreme
court of the United States killed it
last summer, by declaring that a sim
liar law passed in the state Of Arkan-
sas was unconstitutional. Such a law
cannot be put in effect without
changing the constitution Of the Unit
ed States, which in the case of thai
measure is impossible.

The school was very proud OF its
first exhibit. at the county fair and
hopes to have many more Among
those who won prizes in the exhibit
were: Caroline Harriss, first prize for
best original story; Florence Leitner,
second prize; Annie Moorhead, first
prize for best original poem; Blair
Woodrow, second prize; Thereon Hall,
first prize for best essay on Benefits
of the Fair to Marion County"
Although many prizes were won by
the other grades, the fifth grade won
the most, receiving eleven prizes in
all. The school was well represented
in the parade Friday. The seniors
had very beautifully decorated float
in purple and gold, the class colors,
and bearing a large purple and gold

with one of the teachers were sitting
on the float, while the three boys of
the class and Prof. CasseIs stood in
