The Bushnell Times wants Mr..
Louis w. Duval of Ocala to run for
state senator, to represent this the
twentieth district, in the next legisla-
ture. We don't know whether Mr..
Duval could be induced to go into the
race or not. He could do so only at
a sacrifice, for his law practice is
large and the pay of state senator
is meager. But it is the Stars opin-
ion that he could represent the dis
trict better than almost any other
man in it. An able lawyer, his pres
ence in the Senate would be check
on the flood of unconstitutional laws
that are passed at every session, and
those who know him well need no as
sarance that he would introduce only
what was good, and would unswerv-
ingly oppose what was bad. There is
no man in the two counties of Marion
and Sumter who knows better the
needs of his own district and Florida
and it would be good thing for the
public interest if his neighbors sent
him to the state senate as a stepping
stone to higher usefulness.

within twenty-four hours In a com.
munity of 100000 without authorize

nearly month. The late General
Funston made San Francisco, probably
as bibulous a city as there is in the
country, bone-dry Immediately after
the earthquake of 1905, and kept IL
in that unnatural state for three weeks
do not think that General Funston s
authority to put San Francisco arbi-
trarily upon the water wagon was ever
questioned at the time or afterward
although he had no such authority In
law. Perhaps one or two saloon own
ers did protest, but protest delivered
to man with a Krag-Jorgensen rife

head of little utilities. The liquor thus
confiscated and destroyed Illegally
was at one time valued at some sum
in the millions, but those from whom
it was taken never filed claims foE
damages.-W. o. Mcclellan, In New

black brute of the most degenerate
type is shown by the fact in killing
a fellow turpentine worker he shot
the FRUSTRATED negro time and time
again with single barreled shotgun.
We like to see people do their duty,
but why lawyer would think it his
duty TO save a black brute guilty of
two murders when there is not a
shadow of doubt about his guilt is
beyond our comprehension. 1t may
be lawyer ethics! if so it is about
time for real lawyers to take steps
to do away with such damphool
ethics"

an hour since last March that re-
spectacle nucleus couldn't have been
collected at the armory to swell into
a considerable force as soon as word
could be sent out to the men in out

company and do something substan-
tial in the few days remaining to
show its appreciation.

Anticipating increased taxes, distil-

of spirits from the government bond

JUST DAVID"

The following beautiful article on
"Just David" was written the early
part of this past winter by Miss Mary
Wyatt Galbraith of Galbraith
Springs, Tenn, who spent the last
three months of her happy, useful life
ia our state.
Since her graduation from college,
Miss Galbraith had done considerable
literary work and her future seemed
very bright and promising. The love
~ story "Just David" was written by
Eleanor Porter, and has greatly in
fiuenced many lives. One or more
prizes was offered for the best crit
icism on "Just David" and Miss Gal
braith won one of these, but we were
unable to find out if it was the first
or second.
The story is of dear little boy
David" who lived in the woods with
his father, an educated old man and
also a great violinist. He educated
this child in a most peculiar manner,
teaching him to play the violin, and
the secrets of all the beautiful birds,
trees and flowers, but of human be-
ings he knew nothing. After his
fathers death, David was taken by
an old farmer couple, the woman who
mothered him, and the man who had
no patience with the lovable little
boy, his beautiful music nor his pure
ideals. The effect of this child on all
who came in his path is told in a
simple and charming manner.
Miss Galbraith's criticism is taken
from the May number of the Atlantic
Monthly, and it gives those who did
not know this lovely young woman 9
deeper insight into her beautiful life
which God in his infinite wisdom cut
SO short. 1t is as follows:

When shadows hung over the ole
home and they needed me here, what
do you suppose gave me courage t.

and be both Mary and Martha while
all the old crowd was back at colleg.

BOARD OF TRADE


The board of trade had a well at
tended meeting at its new headquar-
tiers, 100 East Broadway, Friday
night. The new quarters are the best
and most convenient the board has
ever had, and the good attendance
and air of cheerfulness worn by the
members proved that the improved
surroundings had most salubrious
effect.
1t has been brought to the attention
Of the board that, because of very
bad roads leading to Ocala and the
fact of excellent roads between the
Higley section and Orlando, Umatilla
and other towns out of Marion coun-
ty, good many of our citizens resid-
ing in that section are practically
forced to seek towns outside their
county to do their trading in; also
that to provide a hard road from
Ocala to this section of the county by
the way of Stanton and Starks' ferry
it would only be necessary to harden
about six miles of the road, from a
short distance west of Starks' ferry
to point already reached by the
hard road out of Umatilla north. To
complete the hardening of this route
would give US a road to Umatilla
with the distance being SO miles; and
it would lessen the distance to Day.
tona, Orlando, Sanford and other
points in that direction by about six
teen miles. A committee will handle
this matter with the commissioners
with a view of soliciting their CO.
operation, etc.
Briefly the question of making i'm
provements to the streets and other
properties in the neighborhood of the
new union station was discussed.
The board of trade, during the
month of March, passed resolutions
opposing the project of the state high
way commission and copies of the res
o1utions were placed in the hands of
each member of the last session of
the legislature. These resolutions, as
will be remembered, also set forth
our opposition to the state and coun-
ty convicts being placed under the
supervision of the state highway
commissioners. Our principal oppo-
sition to the project was that the
sole purport of certain proposed leg
islation gotten up by the road COM
missioner was to erect state high
way through the northern tier of
counties from Pensacola to Jackson
vile, thence down the East Coast,
thence across to Palatka and on via
Sanford, Orlando, Lakeland and to
Tampa, leaving out the counties in
the central portion of Florida, which,
although bearing their proportion of
the taxes necessarily to be levied to
make appropriations to pay for the
construction of this state highway,
would receive no benefit for it. The
board of trade will invite the state
road commission to come to Ocala in
the near future and meet with our
citizens, at which time an effort will
be. made and pressure brought to
bear, with a view of having the high
way or one route of the highway
butt through this county.
The meeting endorsed the action of
the president in renting the room at
100 East Broadway for board of trade
Office and headquarters.
The meeting approved action of the
president and secretary in co-operat-
ing with local county and government
officials in handling work connected

that Emperor William would not ap-

ing to have any successor" Here's
hoping the kid will prove prophet.
