Iananase Dinners.

In the matter OF eating it is agreed
that the Japanese cuisine is not Of the
richest in nutritive quality 1t is not
inexpensive; Japanese uinaers are elab-
crate in preparation. artistic in pre-
sentation, but for satisfying the inner
man are far inferior to European or
even Chinese cooking. The chief char
acteristic of purely japanese dinner
is to please the eye, not the palate or
stomach. 1t is national joke that one
must eat a meal before going to or
after returning from a japanese din
ner.
Oh. how much labor and expense are
lavished on a gochiso ENTERTAINMENT
to make it nice to look at! This is all
sheer waste and luxury and is to be
condemned. Providence has kindly put
in the power of every japanese to live
in the most economical manner, so the
Japanese dinner is a blasphemOus
abuse of providential beneticence. 1t is
an anachrOnistic relic of feudalism,
reminiscent of the morbid tastes of
idle. luxurious oyerlords! A monstrous
fact is that these customs are not go

AN EXCELLENT
RECORD FOR OCALA

The Star is informed by the Asso-
ciated Press that all five of the young
men at Fort Mcpherson from Ocala
have made good records, and will re-
ceive commissions on August Is.
Louis H. Chazal will be commits
stoned second lieutenant in the in
fantry, and the three Anderson
brothers, Robert L., Edward Patillo
(Pat) and Leslie Samuel Anderson
and Wesley HARRISON Burford will re-
ceive similar commissioners in the
field artillery.
julius Brown, Roy B. Cappleman
and Harold B. Swope went to Fort
Mcpherson at the same time with the
previously named young men, but
were transferred to Washington,
Brown and Cappleman to the engin-
eer corps and Swope to the coast ar
tillery. We have not heard how they
Jared, but have little doubt that they
also won commissions.
It's high recommendation for our
little town to have its young men do
so well.

COMPANY A MEN
WIN COMMISSIONS

The members of Company A were
well pleased to be told that three of
their comrades, who attended the Of
fcers' school at Fort Mcpherson had
won commissions.
Of these, the first is Sergeant Jas.
j. Lawrence, of Jacksonville. He has
won the commission of first lieuten>
ant of infantry.
The other two are Privates William
Y. Allsop and Chandos w. McMullen.
Each has won the commission of a
second lieutenant in the quartermas-
tiers corps. Mr.. Allsop belongs to the
Allsop family of Weirsdale and Mr.
McMullen is of Clearwater. He be-
came known to the friends of the
Second Infantry all over the state by
his interesting letters to the Tampa
Times. All joined the company al
Black Point and went to the border
with it.
Black Point was good school in it
self, and when backed up by five
months of border duty made any good
man a competent soldier, so while the
members of Company A are pleased
they are not much surprised to Learn
their comrades will wear shoulder
straps.

[ owe and MARRIAGE.

First love is very apt not to be the
lasting love" said DR. Antoinette KUni-
koW, speaking at the Boston School of
Social Science.
Young lovers try to excuse all the
faults of the loved one because they
are not in love with the individual, but
with love. Hence they may not choose
the partner with whom they will find
their happiness in later years. Many a
man and woman is glad by middle age
that thaefirst love was frustrated.
Marriage should be based on love
alone or it is immoral. and some change
is necessary il marriage is to be saved
from degradation Real love always
makes people better. Romantic love is
the source OF all the best things in life
the foundation of all the arts. And
individual happiness makes up the hap
piness of the race. Boston Post.

line. Ask about them. w. J. McGehee.

is to meet the unheard-of require
ments of the war while avoiding the
infiiction of unnecessary hardship on
the taxpaying public. 1t is easy for
tho administration to ask for $1,000
100000. But to raise that sum by
taxation so distributed that it will
not become odiously burdensome is a
task whose complexities are beyond
the understanding of the press agents
of the navy and war departments.
Newspaper publishers ought to know
this, for they can plainly see how
difficult the comparatively simple
matter Of imposing a just war tax
and reasonable postal rates in their
own business has become.
Let any person who believes that
Congress is hampering the admins
tration consider what Congress has
done.
1t voted war against Germany, al
though large faction of the presi-
dents own party was opposed to the
declaration.
1t has authorized, or is prepared to
authorize, the expenditure by the ad-
ministration this year of a sum which
Senator Smoot reckons at $17,O0O,-
100000.
1t passed, almost without dissent, a
most radical and unprecedented con-
scription bill.
| 1t has placed in Mr.. Wilson's hands
the most autocratic power ever held
by president.
1t has permitted him to seize pri-
vate property, commander supplies
and control means of transportation
place embargoes at will upon exports,
create commissions to foreign coun-
tries, advance billions of dollars to
foreign governments, and appoint
thousands of government officials
from private life.
AS an example of the way Congress
''obstructs," look at its handling of
the aircraft appropriation. At the
simple request of the administration
without explanation of the details
Congress appropriated over $780,
100000 to be used in the construction
of airplanes.
In fact, there have been only two
important instances where Congress
has refused to "stand by" the presi-
dent. One was the censorship bill
Congress opposed and defeated the
lattempt of the administration to muz-
zle the newspapers that are now de-
nouncing members of Congress as
Vanlandinghams. The other was lever
food bill. Here Congress at first ne
more than resisted an attempt to set
up food dictatorship. Of course the
opposition of some senator's, particu
larly Reed of Missouri, passed al
reasonable bounds. But the fact re
mains that, if Congress had passed
such bill without the most thorough
study and discussion, it would have
been false to it's obligations.
Congressman Fitzgerald of Brook.
Ign thinks Congress should remain ir
lsession until December, and he is
right. 1t may not be much of a checl
on plumbers, but it is all we have.

Rev. H. Neidernhofef and family
had shocking experience at their
home at Lowell Sunday afternoon.
The family, and some friends were
gathered in the house during the
heavy thunderstorm which was COM
paratively slightly felt in Ocala,
when lightning struck the house.
There was a binding blaze and a
tremendous crash, and the house was
filled with smoke, but when the people
had time to feel of themselves and
ascertain they were not dead, they
found very little damage was done.
Sphnters had been knocked out of
some of the wood work, and little
negro servant had been either scared
or shocked half to death. He soon
recovered and the splinters and the
memory of the exciting experience
were all left of the incident.

CONGRESS AND THE WAR
Golfers Weekly


Things are not going well in Wash
ington. Everyone at the capital knows
this, even those who are to blame.
Much of the trouble was inevitable.
Commencing war of this magnitude
with the machinery left by the Bryan
Daniels anti-preparedness league was
a good deal like trying to move a
dreadnought with the engine of an
'.autoped." Trouble was to be ex-
pected, but such state of confusion
as has existed in some departments
was not in the imagination of anyone
who thinks American efficiency" ex-
lists outside of the domain of tavern

Many newspapers are silent. At
present it is not considered patriotic
to criticize the administration. 1t is
hard to select from the mass of in
efficiency piled up by the depart
ments specific instances of enough
Importance in themselves to interest
a public that has not awakened to the
fatal seriousness of the war. 1t is
possible that it will not be until some
great calamity oVertakes the country
that such occurrences as the protract,
ed and disgraceful controversy in the
shipping board will seem more sig
nifcant than comic row.
At the same time the fact is dawn,
ing on the minds of considerable
part of the public that there havs
been plumbers and that these plumbers
have cost the country much in reputa,
ton, and may eventually cost it more
in the sacrifice of the lives of our SOL
diers. In trying to identify the blum

PUBLIC PROPERTY

The Tampa Tribune complains that
the press of Florida has made public
and political capital of the private af-
fairs of Governor Cats and his fami-
ly because so much has been said
about the governors successful effort
to obtain the release of his brother
in-law, Blake Campbell, from the fed
eral prison, where he was serving a
term for embezzlement. We beg to
inform the Tribune that it was Gov
ernor Cats who made it public and
official action when he claimed undue
attention for his plea by his rather
SILLY letter to Attorney General Greg
DRY threatening to run for president,
get elected and fire Gregory unless
that official helped to secure pardon
for Campbell.-St. Petersburg Times.
The Tribune's lack of consistency
is laughable thing sometimes. If it
doesn't like man, it makes no bones
of taking a shot at him from any
standpoint it finds convenient.
We have never blamed Gov. Cats
for trying to get his brother-in-law
out of the pen. We should have done
the same thing had we been in his
place. But we think the department
of justice Jared public sentiment
when it set Campbell free because he
was the brother-in-law of a governor.
It's not what we would expect under
democratic administration.
The Tribune is good paper, but it
is not good enough to preach to the
other papers of the state lie the peo-
| pie of Florida had known Cats had a
brother-in-law in the penitentiary
and that he would put an ex-whisky
drummer at the head of the states
educational board, they would not
have elected him governor.

wREAD 1T WRONG

In commenting on the Stars pre-
diction that Ocala probably would not
have home guard, the st. Peters
burg Independent says:
"And the Star should remember
that military organization is vastly
preferable to vigilance committee
which acts outside the law"
Editor Brown of the Independent is
generally so careful that we are sur
prised at his making such a comment,
especially as he reprinted and must
have read the Stars remarks on the
subject. There is not the slightest
intention here of forming vigilance
committee. The Star said there were
at least 500 citizens able and willing
to serve as deputies or special police,
and if they did so they would be as
much inside the law as regular SOL
diers, let alone home guards.
