A few weeks ago, we had little
setto with "Short Talks" of the
Times Union, who called US down be-
cause we said there was more wire
grass than flowers in North Florida.
However, we called back with a prop
osition to bet him the limit that there
was more wiregrass than flowers in
North Florida, and so far he hasn't
called US up to take the bet. We
must acknowledge, however, that the
same proportion exists in South Flor
ida. While we can have flowers the
year around in our state, Florida, like
every other tropical country, does not
have the immense quantity of bios
SONS that bloom forth in the spring
in more northern chimes. Sometimes
you go for miles thru this country
without seeing a flower. The reason
for this, however, is that compar-
atively few flowers are native to our
soil. Nearly all brought here thrive
with the greatest luxuriance. We
were most welcomely impressed with
this fact Sunday afternoon, when on q
visit to Mr.. S. t. Sistrunk's farm al

UNION MEMORIAL SERVICE

Union memorial services were held
at the Temple theater yesterday aft
ernoon under the auspices of the local
lodges Of Odd Fellows, Knights OF
Pythias and Woodmen.
The three lodges met at Castle Hall
and marched to the theater in body
and occupied seats in the center of
the auditorium which had been re-
served for them. Many friends of the
orders We're present to participate in
the exercises. Mr.. W. L. Colbert was
master of ceremonies.
A splendid program had been pre-
pared by the joint committee from
the three organizations. The adj
dresses of Rev. J. VI. Gross and Mr..
VIM. NJ. Gober were greatly enjoyed
and appreciated, as was also the
music furnished by the orchestra and
many Of OcaIa's leading vocalists.
Mr. Colbert expressed the thanks of
the lodges to those who so kindly as
sisted in making the services a sue

the fact that every new engine of de-

The old-time sailor thought the

bitterly opposed the gun, which

1t appears to US that everyone so
disposed having delivered himself OF
his opinion in the matter of the reslg-
nation of Mr.. Bryan, all should now
so far as possible forget him during

has improved the consideration Of the
combatant for the non-combatant. 1t
has become one of the principles and
the greatest virtue of war that the
soldier and sailor who fought for his
own country would spare the lives OF
the unarmed men of other countries
and would if necessary risk his own
life to save the lives of women and
children of enemy countries. This
principle Germany proposes to set
aside and set us back to the day hun
dreds of years ago when barbarian;
murdered women and children ano
defenseless men simply to crafty the
lust of killing. We can better AFFORD
to fight war, and even be defeated
than to allow such a doctrine to be
come prevalent.

The Ocala Star had a birthday this
week, completing its twentieth year
The Star was born in corner of the
Baptist Witness Office now occupied
by the editors table. A. l.. Harding
was its first editor and R. r. Carroll

Star has made a fine record of pro
gress and is now one of the best
edited and most interesting dailies il
the state.-Tampa Tribune.

Telling of visit of a popular sales
man TO Ocala, the Star adds, as
though it were matter of small in
terest, perhaps, that the newspaper
had secured from the agent of a big
concern, a new printing press. ''Thir-
teen years ago Mr.. Goodwin installed
the press on which the Star has been
printed ever since. 1t was a fine press
then and is a good press now, but it
cannot keep up with our steadily in
creasing demands" The Star modest
ly mentions that the new press is to
be a modern two-revolution Meihle
press, and this certainly suggests
prosperity in the Star Office. More
than that, it suggests enterprise and
calls for congratulations

Arden. There, on a bluff above the
winding stretches of Silver river, is
Mrs. Sistrunk's rose garden. 1t is
out in the orange grove, and as the
owner lives miles away, it cannot
have the care that flower garden is
supposed to have; in fact it is cult
waited ike a part of the grove or field.
So it looked very unusual as well as
very pretty, with its hundreds Of

most out in the woods; for some of

The Star has supported William J.
Bryan for nineteen years. One rea-
son for it's doing so has been party
loyalty, for up to the time Wilson was
nominated Mr.. Bryan was undoubted-
w the democratic leader. Another
reason has been that Mr.. Bryan has
expressed many ennobling senti-
ments, and advocated some policies
that, if put into practice, would have
been of the greatest benefit to the
country and the world at large. But.
we have never made a demi-god of
the gentleman, or been blind to his
faults, which have been so apparent
to the American people that they
have three times refused to elect him
president. One of Mr.. Bryan's
faults is that he is vastly imprac-
teal, willing to risk the interests of
his country because he thinks certain
people or certain nations will do
things that he thinks they should do,
while everybody who has the least
acquaintance with public affairs or
human nature knows that they will
not do what Bryan wants them to do.
Another of his faults is his immense
egotism. The first glazing incident
the country had of it was when he
took command of the third Nebraska
regiment during the war with Spain.
As Mr.. Bryan did not know enough
about military affairs to drill squad
or maneuver a company on parade
ground, it is evident that he accepted
| the position, offered him more to keep
| himself in the hmelight than for any
| other reason. He was not handing
out any prince-of-peace bunk at that
time. Since then there have been
various occasions in which Mr.. Bryan
has shown that meek and lowly po-
sition suited him not at all, and that
he would be either party boss or party
wrecker. He has stood for clean men
in office and clean politics, but at the
same time has so impressed the coun-
try with his lack of political and eco
nomic common sense that it has invar-
| iably defeated his party whenever IT
has put him up for candidate. Per-
sonally we know many good demo
crats-southern democrats-who have
voted for Mr.. Bryan because he was
the nominee, but at the same time
i have been glad of his defeat, because
they feared and believed his election
would be worse for the country thar
that of his republican opponent. In
spite of his loudly expressed good
will for his fellow men and his high
ideals of patriotism, Mr.. Bryan has
shown as much cold-blooded calcula
ton in business affairs and love fol
the almighty dollar as any mar
could. He probably resigned from the
cabinet from principle, but the prin
ciple was that he could not conceive
of good to the country resulting from
any other policy than his own. Th'
statements that he issues every da!
show that he is obsessed with thu
belief in his own Importance. Hi
present course, however, is more ike
ly to relegate him to obscurity thar
keep him in the lime-Eght. Abou
nine-tenths of the American peopl
disagree with him in peace, and i
they should have to go to war h
would become the most unpopula
man in America.

Mr.. Richard w. Erwin of Fellow
ship, who was in the city Saturday,
desires the Star to correct the i'm
preston that has been created that
he favors the cutting off of a portion
of Marion county to create the pro-
posed Bloxham county. He is loyal
Marion countyite and wants to keep
the present boundaries intact, which
seems to be almost a universal idea
in the affected district, with the ex-
ception of the extreme northwestern
part of the county.
