got SO tired waiting for Mr.. Wilson to
fall down on his job that they now want
to drag him down. or anyhow trip him
up"
We'll. wouldn't go so far as to say
that" Morris declared, but it looks to
me that when some Of them senators
heard the results of their investigations.
understand. they weren't so much
shocked and surprised as they would
have like to have been, Abe, although
to hear Senator Chamberlain talk. you
might think that what them investiga-
tons showed was bad enough to satisfy
not only the United States Senate. but
the kaiser and his friends also, when,
as a matter of fact, the most that any
of them good Americans can say about
Mr. Wilson as a result of them investi-
cations is that instead of hiring angels
who performed miracles, y'understand,
he hired human beings who made mis-
takes"
Sure I know" Abe said, "but the
worst thing of all that Mr.. Wilson did
was to say that Senator Chamberlain
was talking wild when he made a speech
about how every department of the gov
eminent had practically gone to pieces,
which Senator Chamberlain says that no
matter how wild he may have talked
before, nobody ever accused him that he
talked wild in all the twenty-four years
that he's held public Office"
We'll. that only goes to show how
wild some people talk, Abe" Morris said,
because when a Teller has held office
for twenty-four years. talking wild is
the very least people accuse him Of"
But as a matter of fact, Mawruss. a
Teller from Oregon was telling me that
Office ever since $780," Abe said. He
has run for everything from assembly
man to governor, and If he amt able to
remember by fourteen years how long
he has held public Office, Mawruss, how
could he blame Mr.. Wilson for accusing
him that he is talking wild, in espe-
cially as he. now admits that when he
said all the departments of the govern
ment had broken down, understand,
what he really meant was that only the
War Department had broken down, and
that when he used the expression
broken down. he must be understood as
implying that it had only broken down
in a manner of speaking. so to say-if
you know what I mean"
You mean Senator Chamberlain feels
that when a senator makes a speech
which is any how twenty-five per cent
true, understand, his word should not
be questioned" Morris suggested.

Elsewhere you will find the text of
Alderman Winer's ordinance, calling
on the people of Ocala to pay respect
to the flag at 6 o'clock every after
noon. Mark well the method enjoined
and govern yourself accordingly.
Mayor Chace informs US that observ-
ance of the ordinance will begin next
Monday afternoon, he setting that
date in order that the people will have
full time to familiarize themselves
with the rules. The fire department
will be intrnsted with carrying out the
ceremony provided for by the ordi-
nance; the Star hopes to see it cheer
fully and faithfully observed by all
our people.

Watermelon season has opened, and
we have with us once more the COM
mission men, those cold-blooded and
warm-hearted highbinders, who never
fail to give to Peter with one hand
what they have taken from Paul with
the other. The boys, we are sorry to
say, will not be so numerous this year,
as the watermelons and cantaloupes
are also more scarce. Neither will the
railroad men be with US, Uncle Sam
having abolished them, or rather their
jobs. However, what there is of them
will be all here, and they will liven
the old town up considerably.

Mr.. Chas. E. Davis, candidate for
Congress, will address the people of
Ocala Wednesday evening, May 20.
Mr.. Davis is prominent Floridian
and an excellent speaker. The Star
hopes not only Ocala people but those
from all over the county will be pres
ent to give him a hearing. We would
be glad, however, if he could change
his date, so as to meet Congressman
Clark here Monday evening, June 3.
A debate between these two distin-
guished gentlemen would be the polit-
ical event of the year.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Fiske motored
over to Orlando last Sunday morning,
returning Monday night.
The Red Cross drive is on and each
and every person in town is being in
vited to make their subscriptions to
this good and necessary cause. It is
not question of your parting with a
dollar or if you can afford to do it. 1t
is question of sink or swim. Our
boys are on the battle line. They are
being slain daily by wholesale. Some
one has got to take care of them.
Some one has got to minister to their
wants and suffering, and that some
one is the Red Cross, with it's thou
sands of noble men and women who
are over there taking care of our
boys in sickness and in health. 1t
takes money to do all this on the scale
that is demanded and we must ali
come across. 1t may be your boy or
it may be some other persons boy, but
they must be cared for. So come
across cheerfully.
Mr.. Joe Whisenant will give a
chicken pillau at the town hall Fri
day night to help the Red Cross drive
going on. Every one that enjoys and
appreciates chicken that melts in the
mouth, had better come and get a
mouthful. Ocala people are especial
ly invited.

patriotic meeting at Ramah Baptist
church at Belleview, Friday night,
May oath. Several good speakers
will address them, after which ice
cream will be sold in the hall next to
the church for the benefit of the Red
Cross drive, and every patriotic man,
woman and child who wishes to help
his country whip Germany will have
an opportunity to contribute his mite
to the great cause for which all loyal
and true Americans are working and
praying. We wish our colored friends
great success in this, their first pub
lie effort to assist Uncle Sam in car
ing for our sick and wounded soldiers.

The Star has disagreed with some
of President Wilson's policies and it
may disagree with some more. But
the failings of his administration are
matters of detail; the grand total is
the highest ever attained by states
man. In this great war, most nations
might be satisfied with a peace that
would leave them a little the best of
the bargain. Mr.. Wilson insists that
America fight till the world is safe.
His last utterance to the effect that
he intends to stand by Russia as welt
as France is something that should
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1918-05-23

appeal to Americans and democrats
everywhere. Rightly guided, Russia
will be the most tremendous force for
popular government in the world,
abandoned to Germany it will be the
most powerful prop for tyranny. We
hope the nation will have the good
sense and bravery to help the presi-
dent carry this exalted and vitality
necessary policy to its utter conclu-
sion.

It is said that one of the candi-
dates for the office of state attorney,
being in doubt of his election, went to
a fortune teller to learn his fate. He
crossed the fortune teller's palm with

awaited her verdict. She read the lines
of his mitt, shuffed the cards and
said: "The name of the successful
candidate begins with S." And he
went away happy.

Land FOR SOLDIERS
EFFORT TO DEVISE PLAN TO
TAKE CARE OF THEM AFT
Err THE WAR.

Pierre, Oct. 1.-THE state immi-
grafton department is taking up the
matter of a desirable plan for secur-
ing farms for returning soldiers who
desire to secure such homes. The
federal government is working along
the same lines, and IL is hoped to
have a practical working plan ready
by the time the soldiers get back to
private life. The federal plan is one
of use of irrigation, swamp lands or
''cut over" timber lands. These
plans would probably IVA many
cases, but would not apply to South
Dakota, and the state department is
calling for suggestions vs. to a prac'
teal way to handle the subject fol-
this state. The proposition of locat
ing them on state lands has been
stumbling block in the way, as prac
tically all the state lands are schoo
lands, and in many cases where ther'
have been selections of indemnit.
tracts they are in such shape al Il
mean central colonization, which 1t |
wished to avoid, and provide a mean
by which the soldier could secure
location in the portion of the stat
where he wants to reside.
