Another cabinet crisis is announced in
Italy. Since the beginning of the war we
have been led to believe that Italy was on
the verge of war-the opinion being that
she would join the English French allies.
No definite policy on the part of that coun-
try has yet been announced. From repeated
and conflicting reports as to the attitude of
this nation we must conclude that the news
that has reached the United States has
been colored in passing through London.
If the conditions that would make the
Intervention of Italy necessary in the
struggle have not yet arisen, there is not
much probability that such conditions will
ever arise.

The Registrar of Voters.

Immediately following the last election
for state officers the lesislature passed a
bill abolishing the office of Registrar of
Voters and provided that the registration
of voters should be made by the Clerk of
Court. In fact the abolition of this office
was made one of the campaign pledges of
the Good Government party.
At the time the inadvisability of the
change was discussed and great many
democrats put themselves on record against
any change that would put this important
office in the hands of an elective officer.
The correctness of this view has been proven
by the conditions that have arisen in the
Third Congressional District, where the
matter has been brought into prominence
by the fact that the progressives have
entered into local politics, and where it is
assumed that they will take advantage of
the situation. So we have now come back
to realization of the necessity of keeping
this Office under the control of the demo-
cratic party. The fact is evidenced by the
call for the special session at which the
matter will be reopened. This power should
be lodged with the Governor, who, even
though he may represent a political faction,
must stand for white supremacy. The leg
islature should return TO the old system.
Another thing, when the law is amend
ed, provision should be made for pay COM
mensurate with the work.
A number of years ago there was origi-
mated in this parish, system of purging the
registration, under which each political fac
tion selected members of joint committee
to pass on the rolls; all erroneous or fraudu-
lent names were erased, or, if questioned,
were submitted to the courts. This system
has worked out well and has reduced to a
minimum friction, in this parish, growing
out of matters connected with registration.
1t may be possible to insert some similar
provisions in the law the next legislature is
to pass.

The Caldwell Watchman expresses the
hope that we will be spared the disgrace of
returning to the old reprobated convention
method. There IS one thing that can be
said of the old convention method and that
is that under in it only Simon-pure demo-
crats.were elected to Office. The primary
election incubates more demagogues than
any other known system of politics and as
long as it is in vogue no public official will
dare to express his convictions on any SUBJ
ject, unless he believes his convictions are
in line with public clamor. As between a
system that gives room for political COM
bination and one that propogates dema-
gogues, why, the choice is one of taste
alone.

The report has been given out from
New Orleans that practically all the city
organization has combined with Governor
Hall in his efforts to hold a constitutional
convention this fall. If the city members
have acquiesced in his plans, it goes without
saying that the Governor will have suffici-
ent strength to carry out his policies. 1t is
claimed that the understanding goes no
further than an agreement to support a
bull calling the convention. The plan is to
send one delegate from each parish and a
number from the state at large. If we
must have a convention, it seems advisable
to have full membership to represent all
parts OF the state, rather than one with a
limited membership, as suggested in some
quarters. The convention will be product
i've OF many political issues, some in regards
to the changes Of the organic law, others
foacting political interests. The combina-
twill make interesting matter for dis
ion during the next six months.

opinions of some of these self same
hirelings, but Mr.. Riddle is to all ap-
pearances too fair a man to allow his
ignorance to father SO erroneous an
idea as the one represented in his re-
mark about Miami's feeling toward
Mr.. Flagler.
1t is very certain that the conduct
of the railroad company's business
seems to have been completely chang
ed; and Mr.. Riddle may have no
doubts but what the people his com
pany serves are more than glad to
see the change, and that their re-
sponse to his desire for friendly rela-
tions will be cordial one.
Even the attitude of the railroad
company toward deep water for Mi
ami has completely changed, accord
ing to Mr.. Riddle, who also told the
improvement association that the
Florida East Coast railroad is not op-
posed to deep water-''we above all
Others" he said, ''favor deep water;
and this means, with Mr.. Riddles
word to back it, that hereafter there
will be no more obstacles placed in
the way of the deep water project by
the Florida East Coast railroad. Here
after the company's hired men who
have for years been helping to block
every move that was undertaken for
the harbor improvement work may be
expected to be 'ca1led off,"
The Metropolis is very glad that
Mr.. Riddle made the. address he. did;
it showed not only his commendeble
wish to deal with the people, man to
man, but it gave an opportunity to
learn how his mind was being pois-
oned with that e'ingratitude-to-Mf
Flagler" tommyrot, with which the
dwindling hirelings still endeavor to
"get something"
All the people have ever wanted
from the Florida East Coast railroad
is a square deal just simple oppor-
tunity to deal with it as their trans
portation line, not as their master OF
their father confessor.

WILD BILL DONOVAN
THROWS COLD WATER
On Florida Towns that Want to Fur

Today's Times Union says: 1t was
reported yesterday that Wild Bill
Donovan, the famous pitcher who has
been selected to lead the destinies of
the New York Yankees of the Ameri-
can League, was in the city, but all
efforts to locate him at any of the To-
cal hotels last night were unavailing.

ger agent of the Seaboard Air Line
railroad, was recently in receipt of a
communication from Donovan, in
which he stated that he would be una
BILE to bring his team to Florida, as ar
rangements have already been made

Mrs. ANDREW MILLER JACKSON

Mrs. J.. III. Livingston, Jr., received
yesterday the sad intelligence of her
mothers death, which occurred at the
home of another daughter at Wayside,
Ga. Mrs. Livingston left on the aft
ernoon limited for Gainesville, Ga, to
attend the funeral which will be held
in the Baptist church of which the de-
ceased has long been a faithful mem
ber.
Up to the time of her failing health
about eighteen months ago, Mrs. Jack
son spent her winters with Mrs. Liv-
ingston. She endeared herself to
our people, especially to those of the
second ward, who knew her best. She
was of that perfect type of woman
hood and motherhood which always
wins such alteration and which always
blesses mankind, and leaving behind
an aching void and benedictioh
which will always linger here.
Mrs. Jackson nee Mary Eliza Jen-
kins, was born in Columbus, Ca,
March 8, 1912, and in early life gave
her life to God, being earnest in his
service ever since. For many years
she had been enrolled as an honor
member of the Baptist missionary
society and even up to her death was
an enthusiastic worker for same.
Jan. 13, 1863, she was married to An
drew MI. jackson, of North Carolina,
man of excellent family, who with
three children preceded her to the bet
ter land. Miss Kate jackson, the last
of the three, is lovingly remembered
by her visits to Mrs. Livingston in
this city.
Besides Mrs. Livingston there re-
main Mrs. A. B. Green of Wayside,
Ca, Mrs. S. A. Marshall of Youngs-
town, o., Mrs. VIM. H. Harrison of
Atlanta, Ca, all of whom are expect
ed to the funeral.
To these bereaved ones we extend
our deepest sympathy and mingle
with them our tears for one who had
lived out full-rounded life, one
whose mission on earth has been full
filed and one who now rests from he1
labors and awaits them in yon beau
tiful land with other loved ones gone
before into the light of His glorious
presence.

SIDEWALKS FOR RAcETRAcKs

Editor Star: A few days ago
read in the Star about children skat-
ing on the sidewalks around the
square and you advised them to skate
on the sidewalks in the side streets.
So the ladies, that ride horseback,
must have seen this in the paper and
they are now using our sidewalks for
a racetrack. If there is such law
as compel US to make sidewalks in
Ocala there ought to be one which
will protect the sidewalks from being
destroyed. Carl Wenzel.
As there are not any sidewalks in
Ocala wide enough for two horses
abreast, and as nobody that has any
respect for the feet of horse is like
ly to make practice of riding one in
a gallop on concrete, Mr.. Wenzel
must have mistaken an isolated in
stance or two for practice.
