There is much truth in the follow
iEg from the Christian Science Mon
itor: "Those who see nothing in the
great world war of today but the
fighting of beasts at Ephesus, are
walking through life with their eyes
holden. The bloody ordeal of the field
battle may be horrible beyond human
conception, but it at any rate brings
into being such qualities as courage,
endurance, self-sacrifce, and many
others, all of which are lacking in the
scheming of the political arena, the
deception in the market place, the
scandal mongering of the club win
dow, and the many other questionable
industries of what the unlovely Rich
ard termed the piping time of peace"
In an often quoted passage, on page
$40 of Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy
makes this clear enough. Remember,
she writes, that mankind must SOON
err or late1s either by suffering or by
science, be convinced of the error that
is to be overcome"

The Rev. Mr.. Cats ran ahead in
the Florida primary for governor on
platform of opposition to the
Roman Catholics. Mr.. Cats is not
clever. In state where this sort of
fanaticism gets votes, a platform adj
vocating the burning of witches
would have been even more popular.
When Mr.. Cats has become fully
domesticated in Florida he will better
divine the real wants and aspirations
of the Florida electorate. A states
man is needed to save the Floridians
from the goblins.--Columbia State.
This is a sample of the advertising
Cats gives Florida. Even the most
intelligent of people in other states
are not aware that there are at least
100000 votes in Florida and of them
only about sixth voted for Cats.

In case of war with Mexico, Theo-
dore Roosevelt is preparing to offer a
division of approximately $4,000 men
to the United States government, ac-
companied by his application for a
commission as major general. Elab-
crate plans have been made to recruit
the organization from picked men
throughout the country, and it is said
that Colonel Roosevelt has worked
out every detail that would expedite
the mobilization of the large fighting
unit. The division will consist of
four brigades, instead of three, as
prescribed in the army reorganiza-
ton. In the division will be cavalry,
infantry, field artillerq, aeroplane de-
tachments, engineers, signal corps,
and the most modern field hospital
equipment. An ample number of ma
chine guns will accompany the di-
vision.

Mr.. Arthur Williams, M. A., vice
president of the State College for
Women ALSO representing the Univer-
sity of Florida, has been in the city,
in the interest of those two noble edu-
cational institutions. Mr.. Williams
received much Encouragement from
our people, with whom both college
and university are in high favor. He
greatly praises the work of Marion
county young women at the Tallahas-
see college and says the school cannot
have too many of them. The college
for women is making magnificent
progress. At it's first term it had a
hundred pupils, but at the ond just
closed it had over 800. 1t is one of
the institutions that the state can be
proud of, and is proving of the great
est held to our young women.

The Louisville Courier-Journal
says: "The president from the first
made the mistake of surveying Mex
leo from the spiritual and ethical
peaks of the Mountains of the Moon.
He has now been forced to realize
that he must come down to earth, and
very earthly earth, in order to deal
with the questions which Mexico
forces not upon the moon, but upon
the United States of America. He
made the mistake of prescribing the
moral standard of the government
Mexico should have before he would
recognize it. He made the mistake
of coming out of Mexico before he
had done the work he must yet do
But he has learned from his mistakes.
He has descended from the mountain
peaks. He is summoning our forces
by land and sea to deal with the
Mexicans in the only way they can
understand. He has postponed the
issue as long as he could. He has
done everything possible to give Mex
leo a chance to work out her owr
salvation. He has deferred to the last
moment the final resort to the argu

Since we have dilly-dallied so far,
we had better dilly-dally some more

No true American wants to rush weak

republicans were in control, it would
be impossible for them to suit the

The trouble about socialists is that
they do not want to do things as
much as they want them done. The
individual who goes ahead and does
things for himself is naturally averse
to giving up the fruits of his brain
and muscle. Socialism would be for
the common good but it would require
much individual sacrifice, which the
average socialist is seldom more will
ing than anyone else to make. If this
had been ready-made world, it
would have adopted socialism at once.
Unfortunately, it is yet in the max

A TIMELY SUGGESTION
FROM DR.. HENRY

Editor Star: As all signs point to
our having a real war in Mexico in
the near future, I wish to call your
attention to movement / saw men,
toned in a Tampa paper.
This was the formation of an or
ganization known as the home guards,
the purpose of which is to care for
the comfort of the boys in the field
and the dependent families of those
who are married. would suggest
for your consideration the idea of
forming a similar organization in
Ocala, each member to contribute say
81 per month as long as he remains a
member, to officers to consist of the
usual captain, lieutenant, sergeants,
etc., and the money collected to be
expended in any way the officers or a
committee of them decide. A red
cross unit might be added for the
ladies, who would doubtless be glad
to assist in providing delicacies or
clothing and helping in many ways.
1t has struck me that added interest
might be aroused by publishing the
roll of the company and kept up by
noting the delinquents as missing or
wounded or captured until they re-
sumo payments, when the fact that
they again report for full duty might
be noted. Doubtless, tho, you are
more skilled in this game than |.
It does seem to me that we should
&c all we can to make the lot of
those who have gone to the border as
easy as possible and / think that
some such movement might result In
greater results than leaving it and
sporadic efforts on the part of indi-
viduals. This is not for publication
but merely offered as suggestion
for consideration. If of value I shall
be pleased; if not, / shall hope thai
wiser heads may devise better plan
