BOY SCOUTS AND
THE LIBERTY LOAN

The report of the work of the Boy
Scouts of America in the second Lib
erty Loan drive has been made pub
lie. It shows that the Boy Scouts
were directly responsible for the sale
of $101, 133, 600 in bonds.
This means that they procured
about 51s per cent of the total sub
scriptions to the loan, and the number
of bonds they sold show that they Sc
cured one subscription out OF every
IS.
This is splendid record for the
boys of America and a hopeful sign
for the future of the country when the
boys of the land are willing and able
to perform such valuable public SER
vice.
1t is to leave them such a national
heritage as our forefathers of the
revolution bequeathed to their de-
scendants that the proceeds of hte
Liberty Loan are to be used.

The capture of Jerusalem is of
value from sentimental rather than
a material standpoint. 1t is so sit
uated that it can have but little STRAIT
egic influence on the war. However,
it is city sacred to three great re-
Reconsideration, Jewish and Mos
lem-and the fact that it is in Chris
tian hands will greatly impress the
Mohammedans, many of whom favor
Great Britain more than they do Ger
many. Jerusalem is one of the holy
cities of Islam, the Mohammedans
holding it in esteem next to Mecca
and Medina. They also reverence
Moses, Solomon and Jesus next in
order TO their own prophets and some
few who were nearest to him. Moses
and Solomon are, held in as high es-
TEEN by them as by the Jews, and
Jesus (Issa) is reverenced as proph-
ct and wise man. When Jerusalem
was taken by the army of Godfrey de
Bouillon in the second crusade, the
Mohammedans in it were massacred
and everything sacred to them was
destroyed or defiled. The British will
doubtless be very careful not to do
anything to offend the religious SEN
sibilities of the Mohammedans, a
large number of whom are their allies.
If it remains in the hands of the Brit

Even the opponents of the new
charter will admit there is one good
thing about it. It will do away with
the nuisance of annual elections. I'm
der the former system, by the time a

satisfied with the election of a part
of its members, or with something it
had done since organization, were pre-

ninths of its members and put their
own favorites in their places. But
under the new charter the men elect
ed today will have either fair oppor-
tunity to demonstrate their ability to
serve the city, or they will prove their
ineompetency or perhaps their dis
honesty. Ocala politics makes US
tired. 1t lacks symmetry and per-
spective; also, the men who try the
most earnestly to serve the city re-
celve the greatest amount of hostile
criticism. If the people do not mend
their ways in this respect, gang pol
tics viii obtain sway, for the better
class of. citizens will refuse to serve.
And whenever they do so, our expert
ment with municipal ownership will
come to grief, for there is no city that

MR.. fuckers LETTER

Our young friend, Fl. W. Tucker,
was in such a deuce of a sweat to
have his letter printed in the Star
yesterday afternoon, that he had the
type set at the Banner Office, he hav-
ing brought the copy in entirely too
late for the Star to set it. He was
SO anxious to have it printed that he
shouldered the galley of type and
brought it right up to the Star COM
posing room and set it down on the
imposing stone, right by the page
where it was to go.
Mr.. Tucker, in this, was following
out the old, established trick of the
politicians, to get something in too
late for it to be answered. This trick
is always a confession of weakness,
for a man who thinks he has gooo
argument is never afraid to have it
answered.
We might not have let it go in the
paper, for we don't believe in print
ing anything unless the other fellow
has show to answer it. We refrain
ed from election argument yesterday,
and think everybody else should have
done the same thing. However,
glancing over Mr.. fuckers copy we
found nothing in it any more than he
has been preaching for the last sew
eral months and has by this time i'm
parted to everyone in town who would
listen to him. He could have written
it any day last week, or last month,
as easily as yesterday, and probably
would have done so if he hadn't known
anybody on the other side could have
demolished it.
There is some truth in Mr.. fuckers
argument, but most of it is bunk. We
admit that the council made mistake
in employing Twombly and Henney,
but we don't know that one of Mr..
fuckers pets would have done any
better. We have looked over Mr..
Meffert's statement, and we do NOT
see how Mr.. Tucker is going to prove
his Interpretation of it without Jug
Cling the figures.
1t is not out of place to say here
that the present council can hardly
be said to be responsible for Twombly
and Henney. They were employed on
city work by a previous council, that
presided over by Mr.. Hunter, we
think, and went on doing work for the
city until they almost logically came
into supervision of the electric plant.
To do them justice, with the exception
of allowing the noisy oil engine to be
substituted, they did their work well.
| In another place, Mr.. Tucker says:
'EIn this new city charter, the people
that got it up could have exempted
themselves from taxes for the rest
of their lives if they saw fit"
| In this statement, Mr.. Tucker
shows either a vast ignorance of law
or reckless disregard of truth. The
gentlemen who drew up the charter
might have been just as dishonest as
the rest of US, and willing to grab off
anything not nailed down or redhot
but they certainly didn't try to ex-
empt themselves from taxes, and they
certainly couldn't have done so il
they had tried, as any lawyer will tell
Mr.. Tucker without stopping to look
at his books.
Mr.. Tucker is also unjust to Robert
Elmer. Tt is true that Mr.. Mr.. Elmer
when he came here, took the first JOB
that offered, of driving car, but that
was no discredit to him. He soon
found bigger work, which he was
competent to do, and did t faithfully
to the end.

would call for an election at least
once a month. They would start out
with petition, and not only all the
would sign it. but all the
who are. afraid to say no
to any petition showed at them, and
then the city would have the discom-
fort and expense of an election. We

tive form of government laid down
by the founders of this nation, and we
think the referendum is an Internal

harm. Pity Mr.. Osborne's fairness or

vince the voters that Mr.. Gerig was a
bungler, a CRATER and a pocket-sized
tyrant.

Representative Frank Clark has
become factor in deciding the
issue of national woman suffrage,
having been appointed on the new
House committee on woman suffrage.
Mr.. Clark is against woman suffrage
and makes no bones of saying so,
in which he is unlike many other
statesmen who oppose it, but are
afraid to do so openly. As major
ity of the members of the committee
are in favor of equal suffrage, the
speaker wasted some of Mr.. Clark's
time in putting him on it.

1t is believed that German spies
were at the bottom of the Halifax ex-
plosion, starting the fire which caus-
ed the munition ship to leave its dock
just in time to be rammed by another
vessel. There is probably too much
of disposition to charge things to
German spies. However, if some spy
pulled off this stunt he deserves a
seat in hell beside his master, the
kaiser. 1t was a deed that would make
the devil envious.

We find that in referring to the
muffler on the oil engine at the water
works, we inadvertently sighted our
old college chum, Joe Caldwell, who
planned the whole thing and had it
laid out weeks ago, waiting. to obtain
enough fuel for the old plant, so he
could smut down the new one long
enough to do the work. If we ever
slight Joe, it is unintentionally, for he
is one of the most faithful little will
ing workers Ocala ever had.
