Our governor, our legislature and
our supreme court do not show up
very well in the opinion of Judge
Sheppard of the federal court. Our
state supreme court having knocked
out the quart month law, our COVER
nor gives as one of his reasons for the
special session Of the legislature the
necessity of another quart a month
law. The obedient legislature passes
the law, figuring on the fact that the
state supreme court can't decide
against it before January LIST. This
is a devil of way to legislate, more
worthy of gang of confidence men
than the legislature Of a state. So
the federal Judge very justly knocks
out such shenanigin measure. But,
all the same, he intimates that the
quart month law, as first passed,
was just and legal, and only the ad-
verse but unjust decision of the SUI
preme court caused him to pronounce
against it. All of which, of course,
causes the governor, the legislature
and the supreme court to feel very
proud of themselves.

About q year ago. Ocala adopted
the city manager plan. Said plan has
not proven success. But the reason
it hasn't is that the council has per-
sistently tried to break the plan down
by handicapping it. This policy has
cost the tax payers heavily. A COM
petent and conscientious city mana
ger, supported by the council, would
have kept the light and water plant
from becoming the wreck it is. We
see no chance of any improvement for
the next year. We hope that in the
ensuing twelve months the people of
Ocala will study out where their in
terest lies and vote accordingly. I'm
less they pay more attention in the
future than in the past to the affairs
of their city, they will find it hopeless
ly bankrupt before many years more.

The Star and its recent morning
contemporary, the Banner, were al
ways helpful to each other, and now,
that the other paper has suspended,
it isn't out of place for US to say that
some of their subscribers were also
helpful to each other. We have learn
ed that there were cases where two
families, living next door, pursued the
policy. CT swapping papers-one would
take the Banenr, the other the Star,
and after they had read one paper, ,
they would swap it for the other. This
was thrift, but it was not fair to
either paper. Such policy carried
cut thruout the town would have
caused both papers to suspend instead
Of one It's all right for you to Dor
row groceries from your neighbor-
if you pay back-for that win not
diminish the grocer's business. But if
you borrow your neighbours paper in
stead of subscribing for it for your
self, you are doing the publisher an
injustice. If his paper is not worth
paying for, you lower yourself to read
it. The suspension of the daily Ban
ner to certain extent rids us of com.
petition. Nevertheless, we are not joy
full about it. We have been rather
proud of the fact that Ocala was the

tisement for the town. So far as we
can figure it out, there are only forty
Or fifty families in the whole city that
do not take the Star. If forty or fifty
families were swapping papers in
stead of subscribing to both, they may
have made the deficiency that caused
the Banner to suspend. Now, we
think that everybody who can take
the Star should do so, in the interest
of the city. We are perfectly we'll
aware that our editorials are punk
and local news isn't what it should be-
We know darnsite more about the
deficiencies of the paper than any of
the rest of you. But, mind you, we

greatly the philosophical people who
year after year have taken and paid
for not only the Star but it's morning
contemporary. Everyone of them
helped our little old town. A well
printed, well edited paper is help to
a town, even if it (the paper) isn't
much bigger than pocket handker-
chief. We don't think the Star will
kick the bucket, but we wish to i'm

that it is just as much their moral
