THE MARION COUNTY FAIR
Tampa Tribune)

The editor of the Tribune has re-
ceived an invitation to attend the
Marion County Fair from November
81 to 80, inclusive, at Ocala.
1t is one of the penalties that one
must pay for being an editor that he
cannot get off and attend all the de-
lightful gatherings of people to which
he is invited. Some day, when we
grow rich, and when we have all
these libel laws little more open
meshed so paper will not be in dam
ger of catching lawsuit every time
the reporters make a scoop in the
news puddle, some day we are going
to go and take in all these good
things, meet the people, and build up
personal chain of acquaintance
that will be as long, at least, as any
politicians.
From our past knowledge and ex-
periences with the Ocala fair we are

1t is not likely that the Teutons
will advance very far into Italy. The
Italians in their present positions
have ample communications to bring
up men not only from their own
country but from France, while the
Teutons must not only advance but
bring their supplies thru the very
mountain. passes that proved a trap
for the Italians. The Teutons hardly
hope to conquer Italy. The most they
hope for is to establish short line
across from Switzerland to the Ad-
riatic and "dig in" This would give
them line to defend only about a
third as long as the one they are
fighting on now. And the Italians
and their Allies will spare no effort
to prevent such plan being carried
out. Another battle of the Marine on
the plains of Venetia is a probability
of the next few weeks.

Wearied by the dispute over the
500 rifles recently procured for the
home guards, Gov. Cats has decided
not to issue them to any company,
but to keep them at Tallahassee, to
be sent to any county where they are
needed to meet an emergency. The
governor is not to be blamed for get
ting tired of the squabble between
Polk, Hillsborough and Pinellas, but
the Star respectfully submits that he
will make mistake if he keeps the
guns at Tallahassee. If they should
be needed at, say Tampa or Pensa-
cola, the trouble would probably be
over, or beyond curbing by home
guards, before they could be sent to
either point. Such policy will be
about as sensible as man trying to
defend his home against burglars
with a revolver that he keeps in a
trunk in the basement. Beside, how
are home guards going to learn to
handle guns unless they have guns to
practice with? IL any rifles are sent
to company of citizens not practiced
in their use, they will be of much less
value than so many shotguns. The
governor should decide what com.
panies in the state can make the best
use of the guns, and let them have
them at once to instruct themselves
in their use.

About week ago, letter from
Gov. Cats was published in which he
highly praised the zeal and efficiency
of Congressman Drane for securing
500 guns and $500 cartridges from
the government for the Florida home
guards, and rebuked the senator's and
the other three congressman for their
slackness in this matter. 1t appears,
however, from the law, a copy of
which the Star has received from
Senator Fletcher, that if there has
been any slackness about obtaining
guns for the guards, it has been the
fault of the governor, and the COVER
nor alone. The act of Congress pass
ed last summer says that the secre-
tary of war shall issue equipment to
the home guards of a state on the
requisition of it's governor. A sem
ator or representative has no power
in the matter and is not even named
in the act. We don't know exactly
what Mr.. Drane did, but it is evident
that Gov. Cats could have obtained
the guns himself simply by making
requisition for them. 1t is also evil
dent by this act that men in counties
who buy their own guns are not sub
ject to call from the general gov
eminent, and it is doubtful that the
governor has any power to order
them out of their own county.

Mayor Martin of jacksonville
vetoed measure passed by the coun-
Gil of that city to allow people to
keep hogs in the city limits. He
gave as his reasons that it was not
only unsanitary but violation of the
state law. Such little scruples do not
seem to have bothered Gov. Cats
when he instituted a pig pen in the
vicinity of the executive mansion in
Tallahassee. Yet Cats took solemn
oath to uphold and administer the
laws of the state.

The long-threatened German upris-
ing has broken out in Southern Bra
I'll. The Germans have large colon
les there and have dominated at least
one state for the last score of years.
They have repeatedly threatened
what they would do, and now seem
to be trying to make their words
good. The probable result will be that
German will be dead language in
Brazil for the next two or three dec

The board of directors of the Met
ropolitan Opera Company of New
York announces that no performances
of opera in the German language
will be given during the present sea-
son. This means that a number of
German singers will be eliminated
from the role of artists. This is
rather fought on some peaceable
Germans who have no other way of
making living.
