The people of Marion and Sumter
counties should demand of the candi-
dates for the senate and house of rep
resentatives what will be their atti-
tude toward the state tax commits
sion. The commission is simply a
graft for three office holders, who
draw good salaries, travel around the
state at the peoples expense and do
nothing worth while. They have no
power to do anything except give adj
vice that nobody is obliged to act
upon, and their advice of late has not
been good. A specimen of their work
is apparent in st. Johns county. The
Flagler estate had been paying on
what was probably too low an assess
ment. The commission raised the
assessment to a ridiculously exorbi-
tant figure. The commissioners of St.
Johns county reduced the assessment
to more reasonable, but still entire
ly too high a figure. The result has
been that no taxes at all have been
paid on the estate, but the county tax
collector is drawing his commission,
amounting to over $4,000 year. The
commission is absolutely of no use,
and the money wasted on it would pay
the salaries of at least score of
much needed school teachers.

There is no great reason for the

like the shipbuilding program, which
was in chaos for months, but has
suddenly shaken itself together and

work is systematized, but when it is
it will go faster than that of any
other nation possibly can.

The Star hopes the county commits
sioners will see their title clear to
help out the Marion County Fair. We
know that money is scarce and the
commissioners need to count every
dollar. But this is one of the causes
we can't very well afford not to spend
money for.

A dispatch to the Star late We'd
nesday evening announced that Sec
rotary Baker officially stated that
America has over half million SOL
diers in France. How many over half
million, he didn't say, of course, but
we may be certain it is a good many
more. Also, it is certain that our men
are going over more rapidly than the
Germans are able to deplete the ranks
of our allies. Meantime, the Germans
are suffering terribly themselves, and
their reserves are no such men as
those we are sending across the At
lantic. Our camps are being emptied
of the men who have been training in
them for the last six or seven months
and new men are pouring into them.
Americas weight is beginning to tell,
and not more than twentieth of it
has been thrown in the scales.

ANOTHER TRIBUTE
TO WILEY BURFORD
Gainesville, Fla., May Z.

Gainesville, Fla, May Z.
Editor Star: / am enclosing you
herewith a short memorial which
was given by Dean H. r. Trusler at
the regular chapel exercises of the
university on Monday morning, May
9Th. This speech was an acceptance
of an enlarged photograph of Lieut..
Wiley Burford, which was presented
to us by his father, Mr.. r. A. Bur-
ford, of your city. The picture was
draped with the u. S. flag, and un
yelled by Dean Trusler at the conclu-
sion of his address. The ceremony
was most impressive and appropriate
to the occasion.
We are sending you the address in
order that you may publish it if you
desire to do so.
Yours very truly,
W. B. Ellis, Registrar.

The Address

Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the
University: The war has come home
to the university. 1t has come home
to our hearts. 1t has spoken with it's
great and final emphasis.
At the opening of school last yeal
| expected that Wiley Burford today
would be sitting with US attending
his classes, preparing for his senior
examinations. Today we have his pic
ture and his memory. Today he is
honored for all time as the first man
from the university who gave his life
for his country.
I am reluctant to speak about him,
because words, any words, though
they were winged and filled with the
Tilt and light of genius, cannot express
what you and I feel today. am re-
luctant to speak about him, because
he would be the first man to depre-
ciate heroics; the last, to wish any
theatrical Interpretation placed upon
his DEATH He was of a reticent dis
position, and would not want any fine
act of his to be exploited. Yet will

F.. IN THE HOUR OF TRIAL

that than either and in every other extremity
OF the human SOUL the servants of the gospel await the
call of the needy.
There is minister of Christ near at hand who would
count it privilege to counsel with you comfort you
TO pray with you, to talk with you about the eternal
RliteS.
The church yearnS to that she wants TO be
helpful in every possible way Like her Master she is in
our midst, Not to be minSered unto, but to minister.
Her ministers would kneel at every death bed and stand
by every grave speaking the gospel of life.
Even eagerly do they desire TO the people
through the years of youth and health that the
fort of Christ would be strange word when recalled
homeward in the hour of extreme need.
Why wait for the hour of trial TO bring the blessed
ministry and fellowship of the church?
Go to service today, not pndefully, critically
seeking sights and defects but witness the worshpeTs OF
God in His house.
