Mr.. MARTINS REPLY
TO SHERIFF GALLOWAY

Ocala, Fla, Aug. 90, 1917.
Editor of the OcaIa Banner:
Editor Star: In reply to that part of
Mr. Galloway's letter that refers to
me, will say that I have been in Ocala
for over seven years, and am well
known by the best" class of people OF
this city and county, and am, there
fore, willing that they pass judgment
on my every act, Messrs. R. A. Bur
ford. Walter Ray, and H. NJ. Hamp-
ton, included.
Now, as to my part of the investi-
CATION and report filed by me before
the governor, will say
The governor told me that there
had been several complaints sent him
in regard to the way in which the
sheriffs office here had been conduct
ed; he then sent a man here by the
name of Burks to investigate said Of
flee: said Burks reported to my of
flee and l with him acting as notary
public, proceeded to make said inves-
tigation, after we had obtained some
(14) affidavits from some of Marion
county's best (whits) citizens and (2)
affidavits from two negro men. Mr..
Burks was called away from this
place.
The governor then advised me to
go ahead and finish said report, which
l have done. In that report l filed
before the governor (27) affidavits
given by some of Ocala and Marion
county's best (white) citizens, and
(7) affidavits from CD negro citizens.
AS to Mr.. Ga1loway's statement
that I had been refused certain af-
fidavits in this town, on August 9th,
or at any other time, is untrue, as
have never called on any man in this
town to make affidavit against Mr..
Galloway, until after such person had
notified me that he or she, as the
| case might be, wanted to be heard
and wanted their statements to go be-
fore the governor Then, and not un-
til then, did l call on said persons.
None OF said persons refused to give
said affidavits.
AS to the advice given the governor
by Mr.. Galloway, I will assure Mr..
Galloway that the governor had had
a favorable report on me before he
ever advised me to proceed. / have
| said nothing or done nothing that I
can not back by affidavits from the
above number of (whites) and
/ (negroes), and if Mr.. Galloway wants
to find out who they are, / am sure
that if he will call on the governor,
the governor will show him who they
are.
And as to myself feel that I have
done my duty, and am willing to let
the people be the judge. have lived
an open life, and now have nothing
| to hide.
/ am, yours very truly,
| EDWARD P. MARTIN,
106 NJ Orange St., Ooa1a, Fla.

REDUCTION IN SIZE

1t is not the Stars intention, ia
reducing the size of the paper, to re-
duce the amount of news it gives the
people each day. There will be just
as much type set, anad the same sized
type, tho its being set solid instead
of loaded viii enable US to put the
same number of words in 80 per cent
of the space. This reduction in size
has been forced on US by the steadily
increasing cost of paper; also, we
are expecting the rate of postage to
be raised. As we can't raise either
the price of subscription or advertis-
ing rates, it is absolutely necessary
to cut off every unnecessary expense
in order to make both ends meet.

PRESIDENT AGAINST
A PREMATURE PEACE

President Wilson's rejection of
Pope Benedict's peace proposals is
about what the country expected of
him, and probably about what the
pope expected.
Mr.. Wilson has taken a very high
ground, and it is the duty of every
American who loves the honor and
hopes for the future peace and pros
perity of his country, to help him
maintain it. He makes it plain that
America has gone into this war more
fer the benefit of the entire world
than from any other reason. Not for
our profit, not entirely for our own
safety, but for the safety of the
world have we drawn the sword. 1t
far taken. 1t makes America the
leader in public spirit of the whole
world. 1t is a position that no sac
rifice is too great for US to make in
order for us to keep it.
1t is pointed out that there is con-
siderable similarity between the
pope's proposals of this month and
those of Mr.. Wilson last winter.
America was at that time neutral,
and was trying to remain neutral.
Today it is at war, and must stand
by its allies first. The pope is in a
position somewhat similar to that of
Mr. Wilson eight months ago. He
probably favors the allies 1t would
detract from his influence for him to
Isay so.
Mr.. Wilson's direct denuaciation of
the German government as being un-
Trustworthy and his clearly pro-
nounced intention of giving favorable
terms to the German people whenever
they put themselves in position to
ask for them, is consistent with
Americas position, and likely to have
great influence in ending the war.
In case the ruling class of Ger
many remains In power, a long and
bloody war is ahead of us. In spite
| of their fearful losses, the Central
Powers yet have millions of men and
they are in position to use them to
greater advantage than the Allies
are to use their forces. It is the evil
dent plan of the German general staff
| to hold the Russians off with a min
imum of men, and to in the meantime
| try to break France down and starve
Great Britain. 1t is only the entry
of America into the war that can
prevent this plan being carried out.
1t may succeed anyhow, in which
case America would need to fight
lsingle-handed against victorious Ger
many and its allies. America need
not fear this result. Aroused and
united, this country will be a match
for the world.
In the meantime, the common peo-
pie of Germany are suffering greatly
Their warlords are living in comfort,
in comparative luxury, while they are
starving, shivering and sending their
men to the front. If they. could once
understand that they could have
peace simply by upsetting their ty-
rants, they might make try for it,
and a reunited world could settle
down in safety to repair the damage
of war. 1t is Mr.. Wilson's policy that
is more likely to bring about this re-
suit than any other. 1t isn't policy
| of blood and iron. It is a policy OF
fight until the other fellow has enough
and then help him up if he will let

SIDNEY INVITED TO

A special from Washington to the

Congressman Frank Clark of the
