OFFICER j.: l|'|!l c !; \ Icon II o.:
engines FROM 70 !. BRIDGE J !

An apparatus for controlling the
movements Of a vessel from the bridge
has been invented by DR.. X! Ito. man
ager Of the engine works Of the Nit
subishi DOckyard and Engine Works of
Nagasaki, according to Commerce Re.
Forts, 70
The officer on the bridge is enabled
to regulate the valves or to reverse the
engines directly. Thus he can move the
ship at his will in the time It would
require to telegraph the orders to the
engine room as is done now.
If the apparatus Is successful, posi-
bility of errors and confusion appears
to be done away with. There have
been numerous instances of disputes
between the engine room and bridge as
to just what orders were given Especial
ly when accidents have resulted With
this new device in operation, however,
the man on the bridge would be In
complete control when he chose. The
apparatus would be used primarily, of
course, for emergencies,
DR.. Ito's invention -, also could be
used to advantage in moving in foggy
weather or in going in and out of har.
bors and in anchOring. Another point
brought forward is that the officer on
the bridge could adjust the engines al.
most instantly and prevent racing of
propellers in heavy seas. He could see
a heavy sea coming and prepare for it.
The apparatus is electric. 1t can be
detached within few seconds and
the engines worked in the ordinary
way. Details have not been received.

Civil Service Commission Finds

timony At Hearing

|" Police Officer Gray Of Wahiawa. ac-
cused Of grating and Of having regu.
larry collected protection money from
the che ia gamblers of Wahiawa, Scho-
field and Cashier. was yesterday form
ally convicted by the civil service com.
mission, before which he has been ap-
pearing for trial. The commissioners
decided that the grafting charge
against Gray had been substantially
proven and that he is no longer a fit
person to be retained in the public SER
vice.
The clerk of the commission has been
instructed to notify Sheriff Charles
Rose Of the finding Of the commission
and to notify the sheriff that Gray is
to be removed from Office within FIVE
days.
Sheriff Protects Offender
Throughout the period since Gray
was openly charged with grating, the
sheriff has devoted all his energies TO
protecting this officer, giving out inter:
views proclaiming his innocence, IA
GRAVITY taking Gray's part during the
commission hearings, advising him and
using his whole influence to obtain his
dismissal. Immediately following the
publication Of the fact that Gray was
under charges before the commission
and that atfidavits had been obtained
from those who had paid Gray the
graft money, the sheriff and the chief
OF detectives placed the affidavit max
ers under arrest, allowing Gray to lead
the raids, this being the first move in
what was apparently an effort to
brighten off the witnesses against the
CRATER.
Testimony Did Not Agree
The tremendous desire of the sheriff
and Of the head of the detective bu-
reap to shield Gray and rescue him has
avaifed nothing, however. The sheriff,
McDuffie and Gray failed to tell the
same story when testifying. about the
only point. they agreed on being that
the police officer was innocent.
Now that the commission has ordered
one of his officers fred, because be-
heved guilty of malfeasance, it will be
interesting to note the future action
OF the sheriff. 1t will be likewise in
teresting to note the future proceedings
against the witnesses who dared brave
the vengeance Of the police to tell the
truth.

matter how many patients it has, and
in spite of it's extra-careful manage
ment, it sometimes couldn't make
both ends meet if some one didn't oc-
casionally extend a helping hand.
The hospital has some assistance
from both the city and the county, but
it's the Stars opinion they could both
help more. We have become used to
it in the last ten years, and have
come to consider it as a matter of
course. Consequently we have no ade-
quate comprehension of how neces-
sary it has become to Ocala and all
the neighboring country. If some
malignant spirit was to pick it up and
carry it off some night, we would miss
it more than we would any other of
our public institutions except the post
office, and any family that had dan
gerously sick member could much
better do without the postofice.

what reason would they have to be-
lieve, if they recalled him, that they
would not make another mistake and
put another inferior man in his place I?
The truth is that in representative
government and elections at stated
periods, we have the most effective
recall system yet devised. If we
elect a man to office for year, or six
years, and he makes good we can
elect him again; if he doesn't we can
retire him and put another man in his
place. That is recall enough.
The recall is not democratic. 1t is
socialistic, and except in small and
well educated communities would be
anarchistic. 1t is direct government
and although at the opposite extreme,
as much opposed to our representa-
tive system as absolute monarchy.
It might be just as well to remem-
Der that there are in Florida at least
100000 men able to vote and bear
arms, and less than 10000 voted for
Cats, so the day when he will take
our state government to pieces and
then put it together again to suit
himself is not likely to arrive.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-11-27
NOBODY KNOWS

"Ocala was cited as having labored
for a union depot, and now that it has
gotten it the mistake can be seen
after it is too late.'
We find the foregoing paragraph in
the Gainesville Sun, in a report of a
meeting held with the railroad COM
mission to decide on site for union
passenger station.
We don't think anybody had any
authority from Ocala to make such a
statement. AS Ocala's union station
has not been built yet, and it looks
like it will not be built for another
year, nobody knows whether the move
to build it was mistake or not. So
far as the Star knows, majority of
Ocala people are in favor of the union
station, and the delay in building it
has been caused by an attempt to
have it located more conveniently to
the city than it would have been had
the work been completed on the site
on which it started.

REFERENDUM AND RECALL

The esteemed Cats, according to
reports of some of his speeches, an
nounces that he intends to put in
force measures to make justices of the
supreme court subject to the recall.
His utterances may have been dis
torted-we hope they were-but judg
ing by the reports said recall is to be
put into effect as soon as Cats takes
his seat in the governors chair.
We have seen and heard it stated by
his admirers that Cats was well vers-
ed in legal lore, but if so he must have
omitted to study the constitution of
Florida. 1t he had perused that docu-
ment closely he would have found that
he will have to consult first the legis-
lature and then the people before he
puts any recall business into effect,
for it will require a constitutional
amendment.
The people could not jeopardize
their own rights any more greatly
than by subjecting their judges to the
recall. Law, justice and the popular
approval do not always go together.
1t is sometimes necessary for a Judge
to make a decision that will displease
the public, and it is seldom that a
Judge makes a decision that entirely
pleases the public. The public always
wants to be just, and generally is just,
but sometimes it is unjust because it
is mistaken.
We do not believe in the infallibility
of judges any more than we believe
in the divine right of kings, but the
average judge is much better able to
decide on any matter of law than the
average citizen. We are not given to
taking snap judgments, but several
times, when we have thought some
case had been decided unjustly, a brief
explanation from some Judge or law
yer has caused us to revise our opin-
ion.
All our judges are elected or ap-
pointed for term of years When a
lawyer abandons his practice and be-
comes a candidate for judicial office,
he expects to retain that Office for a
stated term. When he occupies the
said office, he acquires a certain
amount of independence which, if he
is a man of brains and character,
will help him to administer justice.
But if he is subject to the recall
if he knows he is liable to be turned
out of Office by hue and cry that can
be started by any demagogue dis
satisfied with one of his decisions,
and who probably wants the office for
himself or one of his friends, the
knowledge is likely to impair that in
dependence. Men of weak character
would study popular favor rather
than justice, in making decisions. Men
of strong character and knowledge of
the law would not accept judicial
positions and the people would have
to depend on inferior lawyers for the
administration of justice.
Beside, if the people made a mis-
take in putting man on the bench,

WOMAN'S WORK

At the meeting of the State Fedora
tino of Woman's Clubs at Miami, it
was unanimously resolved to present
the following schedule of measures to
the legislature with the request that
that body act upon them at it's coming
session. It's the Stars opinion that
the schedule is just as practical and
sensible as any body of men could ad-
vocate. Following is the schedule,
which the Star understands the Ocala
delegation was active in suggesting:
An act to prohibit the liquor traffic.
An act providing an equal suffrage
amendment to the constitution of the
state of Florida.
That women should be eligible for
election as school officers.
That $4,000 should be appropriated
to establish model home for use of
the home economics department of
the Florida State College for Women
at Tallahassee.
An act to prohibit the placing of
posters and advertising signs on pub
lie highways and public property.
An appropriation to make available
Florida's portion of the new federal
good roads state aid bill.
A bill for the relief of the Sem
mole Indians as provided in the Sears
bill in Congress.
For equal division of the national
appropriation under Smith-Lever law
and state appropriation between the
home economics and agricultural dem
ionstration work.
A bill to provide matron for its
institutions where women and chill
! dren are in custody, and separate
quarters for men and women inmates
Bill to make public execution il
legal.
For separate quarters for tubercu-
losis inmates in the state, county and
city institutions.
A bill to permit the employment of
persons who have received degrees in
arts, letters and science from the
University of Florida or other schools
of as high standing as teachers in our
public schools without being required
to take an examination.
A certificate providing $4,000 an
nually for the up-keep of Royal Palm
park.
An amendment to state child labor
law to make it conform to the national
child labor law.
An act making corrupt medical ad-
vertisements Illegal.
A bill providing for the abatement
of injunction law.
Want Women on the Board
Another resolution adopted refers
to the establishment of the industrial
school for girls at Ocala, as provided
for by the last legislature. The act
places the management of the school
under the board of state institutions.
This is not to the liking of the women,
and they in their resolution declared
girls should have the benefit of a
woman's viewpoint in its management
and conduct, and woman's knowl-
edge on and sympathy for her sex in
dealing with the problems which must
arise in such management" and there
fore then went on record as favoring
the introduction in the next legisla-
ture of bill to create a sub-board
of managers of five members for the
industrial school for girls and on
which board there shall be at least
three women.
