INTERESTING LETTER FROM
CAMP WHEELER.

Co. B, 300 Engineers, Camp Jackson,
Columbia, S. c., Sept %, 1917.
The Ocala Banner, Ocala, Fla:
1t is barely possible that you might
wish to publish few lines from Ma
rion's quota at Camp Jackson, so
here goes.
In behalf of the Marion county
boys, whom / piloted to Camp Jack
son, | wish to, thank the people of
Ocala for their wishes of good luck
to us and the many presents made us
as a body. 1t was indeed gratifying
to feel that we were from one of the
few places that thought enough of its
selects" to give them remembrances
And on the other hand Marion
county can feel proud of it's quota
of Sept. 18th, in so much that at the
present date all with one exception
passed a good physical examination,
have been issued uniforms and are at
present soldiers in the six company
of the 500 Engineers regiment.
She can also feel proud of the be-
faviour of her boys shipped that day
because of their behaviour. in so
much that our boys did not start any
undue disturbance or rackets as
lots of the other boys did; then again
of their action in Jacksonville where
instead of marching them around in
line as lots of the leaders did, l told
them that l would allow them to go
where they pleased until a half-6our
of train time, at which time would
call the roll, and wished all present.
All were back except one who be-
came lost and was not located until
a few minutes before. the train Feft.

ocALA DID HERSELF PROUD.

The recognition given TO her quota
of select mem just before entrain-
ing for Camp Jackson, near Column
bia, S. c., by a large number of good
men and good women of OcaIa was
certainly pleasing to our whole pop
ulation. The. young men thus sud
denly called from their homses to
fight the battles OF their country
showed in its fullness the very es~
sence. OF true democracy. 1t showed
that we are fighting the battles OF
democracy in a purely democratic
manner. Under the "seiective draft
measurs' no favoritisms are shown.
All alike; between certain ages, are
subjectea to- the same physical sx-
animation and none are excused
more than another on any plea what
soeyer. There are no social W po'
ffical "pails," and when these ex-
cuses are acted on by those higher
UP" we are assured by the president
himself that politics will have no part
That is practical as well as theoretf-
cal democracy. The little contingent
that left Osala Tor Camp Jackson;
thence for other parts, was putting
fnto practice the true theory of our
government and it was fitting that
they should have been shown exeep-
tionaI honors: We sincerely rejoice'
THAT they were made to feel that their
patriotism is appreciated and deserv-
ing OF the warmest measure OF
praise They carry into camp life
pleasant and affecsionate mementoes
and are made to understand that
tkey leave Behind them only the
prayers and good wishes of their
feIrow-citizers: and that they go forth
on a heaven.born mission such as
the world has never before wit
messed.

We don't support the domestic po-
litical program Of the Wilson admin
istration because it don't suit our
idea of the right kind of political
program. We think republicans bet
ter qualified than democrats to con-
duct the government along economic
al, beneficial lines and are prepared
to discuss relative political merits
whenever proposition involving
them arises. And this regardless OF
the snappings and winnings of pittle
puts-whether editors of useless pub
locations of mere mongrel politicians
of circumscribed local scope.
"Mr Wilson is too big-too much
the statesman-to question oui

ion of feather-heads don't count"

coMPLicATiNG MATTERS IN THE
sHERIFF'S OFFICE.

The defense of Governor Cats in
yesterdays Daily Banner by +Uncle
Peter Stanley it is feared in some
quarters may complicate matters IN
the sheriff's office in this county.
For some time rumor has been
afloat that Sheriff Galloway has been
marked for the guilotine.
1t is remembered thai he was
very fast friend of Mr.. W. V. Knott
and in the last primary campaign
was one of his warmest supporters.
They were young men together IN
Lake county and the friendship made
then has continued without break
up to the present time.
It is remembered that Mr. Gallo
way was sheriff of Sumter county be-
fore the creation of Lake county.
Then he became sheriff of Lake coun.
ty. Judge Hooker, who afterwards
became one of the supreme judges,
was Judge of the circuit court of this
circuit. embracing those two counties,
and was always high in his praice
of Galloway as sheriff, He was
pronounced one of the very best in
Florida.
Mr.. Galloway afterwards became d
citizen of Marion county and has
been several times elected sheriff
and the Judge of the court the law
yers and the people generally pro-
claim him to be a very fine official.
The fault found with him was in
his retention of one of his deputies
against whom certain charges were
filed and as soon as the deputy
heard about 1t he rendered his resig-
nation, but Notwithstanding which
the rumor is still current that the
sheriff himself is marked for sacrr.

1t has been announced that prob

Lowell and the deputy to Dunnel-

vote in both precincts, but since
Uncle Peter has butted in with his
lengthy defense of the governor it
may compIicate the appointment. IL
may go to Pine.
Uncle Peter himself is Baptist

Funiak Springs and was one of his
warm supporters.

THE TOLL AND COMPENSATION
OF WAR.

1t is impossible for words to ex-
aggerate the toll of war.
It's heritage is weeping, wailing
and gnashing of teeth.
1t fills the land with mourning.
1t leaves in its wake cripples, pes
thence and death.
These are only some of its fearful
tolls, but like all sacrifices, it is not
without it's rich compensations.
Every great war has been stride
upward in the path Of civilization.
Wars are gradually Kidding the
earth of the hollow mockery OF the
divine right of kings"
The present war is democratizing
the world.
Russia has already thrown of
the shackles of autocracy, which
seems a miracle.
If the present world-war accomp
fishes nothing else that alone will be
worth part of the great sacrifice
1t will mean so much for so many
millions.
In our own land we see the bitter
memories of our civil war period
fading from view and more than ever
before the flag will stand for the
symbol of united nation.
The war has helped to conquer dis
ease. ,....-.. ..-.~
It has shown that it is as possible

as it was to stop the scourge of small

taught in our rural as well as in our
city schools. .sass.

engaged in foreign and domestic
trade.
1t will open wide the door of op-
portunity to our women.
The billions of dollars that the war
has called into being will not go into
hiding but will abide with us, and
will stimulate the price of farm prop
erty and city real estate.
Farm life especially will undergo
rich and radical developments and
the real luxury of living will be
found on the farms.
Good roads will permeate all sec.

thing pertaining thereto, are to have

GERMAN CANT AND HYPOCRISY

Michaellis, the new German chan
ceIlor, writing for and in the name of
his gracious master, the German
Kaiser, says that the Kaiser has al
ways been a lover of peace and a
hater of war, and points with pride
to his record.
Knowing the facts as the whole
world now knows them, such utter.
ances are enough to freeze one to
the marrow-bones.
The chancellor says that the Kai-
ser's first utterance on ascending the
throne in 1888 was that nothing
could lead him into the temptation
of war but an attack on the German
empire or his allies"
Did Belgium make an attack on the
German empire in 1914 or upon any
of Germany's allies?
Did France do so?
Did Russia or England or Italy do
so?
Then whence this war?
All nations know where it was be-
gun and what brought it on; so
what's the use of Germany's longer
continuing this pretence?
The world knows that it is all a
false and shallow mockery.
Germany is responsible for it, and
she must suffer the consequences.
Having unsheathed thhe sword she
must perish by it.

ANOTHER TOM WATSON.

A Seattle man-and a professor o
political economy in high school a
that-has filed a categorical list o
reasons why he claims exemption
from military service for his country
Here it is:
81 am opposed to the present
war in any way as being contrary
to the fundamental principles of
morality and Christianity.
II believe in the sacredness of
human life and my conscience
forbids inflicting either death or
injury on my fellow beings.
Il believe in the international
brotherhood of man: that above
all nations is humanity.
Il hold deeply TO the cOnvic-
ton that no government has the
moral right to compel a citizen
to kill his fellow man. Such an
order on the part of a govern
ment is a direct command TO
commit murder.
81 a mapposed 30 the present
war in particular because it is
not war for democracy, but a
war for imperaIfstic aggrandize-
ment
Amy attempt to- force me TO
undertake military service is
violation of the thirteenth amend
ment to the constitution.
Here is an Arasfican citizen, sup
ported directly cut of the treasury
of his state, who owes his state fol
the education it gave h1m-or al
least permitted him to acquire-who
every day of his life enjoys the pro
lection of the states laws and the
liberties and the other attributes Of
blessed American citizenship, yet who
is so ungrateful as to be unwilling
to fight for his state and his country
when it is menaced' by the blackest
foe that ever ~cut a throat of scut
tied ship"
Those things, in mis- opinion, are
not worth fighting fort Or, if they
are, he is unwilling to do his share
of thG necessary fighting, for feal
that he might hurt somebody.
He must admit-as every misguid
ed pacifist must adnit-that the herr
tages and blessings Of American citi
zenship cannot now be saved withou
fighting.
Then. what string would he b,
stunning upon one or two or thre,
years hence did all American Cit
zens assume his attitude and refus,
to fight
An appropriate way to treat
man, who objects to doing anythin,
for his country in time of need
would be for the eeMntry to refus
to do anything for hini
