MALICIOUS GOSSIP AFLOAT

Now that delay in sending the first
SQuota OF the National Army from the
District of Columbia to Camp Meade
has been made necessary by shortage
Of skilled labor and the inpossibiltty
of getting certain necessary equip
ment. the attention of Washingtonians
10 focused again on the tremendous
task that the United States has assuIn-
ed in housing the draft army.
How Col. l. W. Litte1l. the general
cor rstruction quErtermaster for all the
sixteen cantonments and 1or the six
teen National Guard camps, has over
come tremendously big and costly OBJ
stacles in erecting these military cities
out of fields and forests and fitting
them with practically all the conven-
fences of city life is an interesting
story of achievement.
This work has set a new construction
record not only for the United States,
but for the entire world. The profits
to contractors have been limited TO
$3.50. .O00. and all sorts of "scandalous
tales about exorbitant wages and gen
eral waste of the governments money

crossed one space.
They understood him perfectly.
One feature which impressed the
American officers was the effort made
to care for the stomachs of the men at
the front. The French army, In add1-
tion to its commissary stores at the
base. which Is usually all the American
Army has. has a travelling commissary.
This motor truck makes daily trips with
a schedule of stops like a railroad time
table. 1t goes within a mile of the
front line trenches. The soldier knows
each day at what minute it will arrive
nearest him and how long 1t will re-
main for him to purchase tobacco. Gig
arettes, candles, crackers and similar
daihties.
Systematic Meals in Trenches.
The regular meal in the front
trenches. even under fire. is just as
systematic. When the sectors are in
open country the kitchens are usually
in dugouts a mile and a quarter back
of the outermost trenches. Twice each
day detail will be made up Of one
man from every eight to go back with
buckets and bring up the soup, bread
and coffee. In some places they go
through tunnels. in others through un-
protected lateral trenches.
Everywhere. even in the fields for
the peasants tilling their crops. were
dugouts. Entire regiments are hidden
under the ruins of villages whose stone
houses have been crushed by constant
rain of heavy shells. The piles of
stones would not be cleared away, but
under each the men would burrow like
prairie dogs. In the center would be
a cave capable OF sheltering from ten
to twenty men. The stones above
would act as bombproof. Water
would be on the floor, and the walls,
which daylight never reached. would
be covered with mildew. but the men
living in them were safe and healthy.
In open country the men seldom leave
the dugouts. In woody country they
take shelter in them when the firing
is on.
Another less serious novelty is a
travelling theater. Each regiment has
its own playhouse, the proscenium arch
usually made of pine boughs, the cur
tains from condemned canvas and the
seats the bare ground. The travelling
performers play one night stands. Just
now the American boys are longing
for the movies.w are said to be on
the way. The chance of seeing real
show with "fappers" and soubrettes
is beyond their dreams.

The Star is glad to see the Jackson
vile papers protesting vigorously
against any raise of prices in that
city. The disposition on the part of
the people living in the vicinity of an
army camp to overcharge the soldiers
is discreditable, and, we fear almost
universal. Stories come to us from
Macon of a rise in prices beginning
as soon as the first regiment detrain-
ed at Camp Wheeler. It's not only
the hotels and Understands and ped
dlers of cream and soft drinks, but
real estate men and large mercantile
establishments. The Star is reliably
informed that some of the leading
supply houses in Atlanta most shame
fully overcharged our young officers
at Fort Mcpherson for their outfits
that they taxed them from ten to thir-
ty per cent over New York prices for
their uniforms and other equipment
A prominent Ocala citizen who was in
Atlanta last month, wrote a letter re-
garding this abuse to the Atlanta
Journal, but that paper, which brags
| nightly on its patriotism, didn't have
the nerve to publish the letter The
government should set a price for
these articles, and punish those who
overcharge. In the meantime, our
young men training at FIT. Oglethorpe
and other officers camps, should OBJ
tain New York and Philadelphia
prices before buying their outfits
Some of the biggest thieves in the
country are among the small city bus
mess men, and if justice was done
half the jails in the United States
would be full of them right now.

STAND BY THE PARTY
plant City Courier)

Every few days we read of some
former supporter of the governor be-
ing "sick and tired" of his way of adj
ninistering the office. Of course, these
good people are welcomed back into
the folds of what is left of the party,
but laying all jokes aside, had a few
CT them remained with the democrat
ic party last year between the pri-
mary and general election, Florida
would not have been compelled to see
its nominee defeated while the rest of
the country was standing by demo-
cratic national ticket. Governor Cats,
through some Vaccination, has been
recorded as a democratic governor,
but all should know that so far as the
party organization is concerned, and
the actual result of the primary as ar
rived at after careful recanvass, he
was not the choice of the largest
number who took part in making the
nomination. In the future, gentle
men, stick to the party. 1t never has
disgraced you, and we do not believe
it ever will disgrace you.

selfshness between labor and capital

eminent should put these outbreaks
down with a strong hand-it shouldn't
mediate, it should dictate; put grasp
ing employers in Jail and draft the

over them if necessary This war will
play the devil with individual liberty,
and it will be the fault of the worst
and most unreasonable elements of
our population that it does so.

An attempt has been made by the
Cattocrats to discredit Frank Clark
because during his return trip to
Washington from Ocala in the spring
of last year, he stopped for a day in
Jacksonville to help defend Russell,
who was on trial for attempting to
seduce couple of girls. 1t has been
proven that the girls were already of
bad character and that Russell, no
matter what his conduct in other
cases, was made the goat in this one.
But now comes James Alexander, one
of the big chiefs of the tribe of Cats,
and secures pardon for II. G. Stone,
a man tried and convicted of the
crime of an attempted assault. on a
little girl, the child of a respected
family; and from all the evidence it
seems like the pardon was "gum-
shoed," too The governor could have
prevented this outrage on the people.
Let Jim and the governor be called on
to explain this, their excuse of a foul
crime, when they run for Office again.

Bloom of the Lakeland Star prints
a high endorsement of himself from
his old home in Kansas. We don't
suppose Bloom knows it but Florida,
like all the rest of the South, has lit
tie reason to love Kansas. Kansas
before the war, was the South's most
bitter enemy and the rankest trouble
breeder between the sections. There
were more downright ruffians, MUIR
dering women and children, as we'll
as men, burning homes and driving
off stock, invading the South from
Kansas than from any other state. In
open war, Kansas did not brightly
shine, doing less in proportion for the
Union than many other northern or
western states. But after the war,
thru its press and it's "orators" and
its representatives in Congress, Kan
sas kept up the war on the South IN
til very few years ago. If Bloom
desires to impress Florida people, he
had better secure endorsement from
some other locality than the state of
John Brown, John j. ingalls, and the
Jayhawkers.
