The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-11-21

In our killing for food, fur, feathers
and fun, we have disturbed the bal
ance of nature, and Nature is getting
even with US. She may topple over
and crush us, and when she picks her
self up and goes to readjusting mat
tiers some other species will have TO
work its way up thru the countless
ages into reasonable beings. Tor
would unreasonable be a better
term p Or maybe this planet will
swing it's circle around the sun until
the sun dies, populated only by deni-
zens of the deep that man couldn't
get at, or bugs and worms that killed
him and then ate the flesh from his
bones.

We don't think it much use to sue
the Star for libel We are not going
to attack any mans private charac-
ter. The acts of an official are public
property. So far as we know, we have
been rather indulgent to our. public
officials. 1t is true they are gem
orally pretty good set, and don't
need much criticism. It's fact that
Ocala and Marion county have high
class of officers That is owing to In
terest taken by the voters in city and
county, and has been owing to the
primary system in the county.

It isn't bad idea at all, this sys-
tenn, or rather scheme, of taking mon
ey from the entire public fund and ap-
plying it in places, and then in other
places, and then again in still other
places, until every section has a share
in the graft. It's been the mode of
procedure in the United States for
over century, and in spite of its
faults our government is less corrupt
and more helpful to it's people than
any other is or ever has been.

Doesn't anybody seem to appreciate
the Star any more than the lawyers,
whom we often criticise for the good
of their. souls. They are all good
sports, and about a dozen offered to
help defend the Star if its libel suit
should come to trial. We can say of
Ocala lawyers as we have said of
Ocala and Marion county officials
that they are much above the aver
age. Every man will defend his client
to the last ditch, and they have quite
q high conception of public duty.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-11-21

A great many people will be sorry
to hear the Stars libel suit has been
dismissed. There were at least twenty
citizens Of Ocala anxious to testify
against Cash, bunch coming over
from Lake county and several coming
up from Polk. There were some here
in Ocala who were not anxious to tes-
tify, but they would have had to go on
the stand. And everybody wanted to
see the fun.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-11-21

Every time we get into trouble
now, we yell for government help.
The doctrine of state rights can't hold
its flag aloft because it is too busy
holding out its hands for federal dol
lars. Last year, it was citrus canker
and next year it will be the boil
weevil. We are all so busy taking
money from the Union that we don't
notice the Union is taking money
from US.

Forty or fifty years ago, hospitals
were places mentioned with horror.
They were considered ante-rooms to
the graveyard-places where people
were not to be made well but to die.
They were not as bad as the popular
fancy made them, but in comparison
TO what they are, today they were
very crude indeed.

Seems to the Star that If anything
in the world could endear Hiram john
son to the average democrat, or the
average American for that matter, it
would be his fight on the Southern
Pacific, which until the people of Cal
ifornia curbed it was the most cor
rupt and tyrannical of all corpora
tons.

And speaking of the hunting sea-
son, it would be mighty good thing
for Florida if the legislature was to
reduce the number of birds killed to
half dozen day for each gunner;
or, better still, put full stop to
shooting all birds except birds of
prey for at least FIVE years. The boil
weevil and the various other insect
pests that are running cotton and
other crops are here in direct conse-
quence of the slaughter of the birds.

One Of the Stars friends, who is as
well, if not better posted than the
Tribune, and who never tries to sit on
one side of the fence, let alone both,
says he shouldn't be surprised If john
son was the next democratic candidate
for president johnson is q man who
does things, red-blooded American
and born fighter against special
privilege.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-11-21

We human beings are very inconsis-
tent. We abuse a warlike nation
which strives to shut the gates of
mercy on mankind, and wade through
slaughter to a place in the sun, but
we slaughter birds, beasts and fish not
only for our necessity but for our
amusement. And the only right we
have to do this is the right of might.

Thers are getting to be too many
people TER the birds. In the old days,
when population was scanty, and a
double-barreled muzzle-loader was the
most formidable fowling piece, the
feathered tribe had a chance. Now
a-days, not only the country people,
who are generally moderate, kill
quail, but everybody III town who can
shoot, and many who can't, goes out
and takes crack, or rather series

Bat Lanier, the benevolent political
autocrat of Lake county, said he
would come over from Lake with at
least forty witnesses to testify against
Cash when the Stars libel suit went
to trial. Cash is very small potato,
but he seems to have accumulated a
large amount of dislike in his various
places of residence.

Everything that the republican
party in the past has stood for has
been definitely repudiated by the peo-
pie In it's next campaign, it will
have to have an entirely new set of is
sues. It will probably depend on find
ing fault with what the democrats
have done, and it rests with the dem
ocrats to decide how effective the ar
gument will be.

State rights is a fetch of the dem
ocrats, and they talk about it so much
that they believe they practice it. AS
matter of fact, they are drifting
into more communistic and social
istic party than the republicans.

Public officials are always pleased
when newspaper praises them, and
shouldn't kick at fair criticism. The
average newspaper would rather
praise any man that find fault with
him. 1t lis disagreeable to any con-
scientious newspaper writer to crit
