PUBLIC OPINION
LICENSING TRUCKS.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
lust a few lines more in your paper,
if o please.
l read in yesterdays issue that
the new license plates are not going
very fast, and 1t is very near to the
New Year.
Perhaps those that have not their
tags do not deem it necessary to get
them at all as the Cable Works run
their little electric trucks around just
as much as before, with no sign of a
tag or anything else.
Most of the autos In this city are of
the business nature and they all bear
la license tag, and the drivers are
licensed.
l class the Cable Works electric
, truck as a business truck and its drlv-
ers the same as a big Mack driver.
The little mar must be covered with
tags of all kinds. Why?
Could it be possible. Sir, that there
are two laws In this state covering
the auto laws?
Dear Editor. kindly give the public
Iyour honest opinion in this case.
Don't you think by law that this con-
Germ must have these tags and also
their drivers licensed?
Thanking you for space II await
ling your decision, I remain,

A GREAT ASSET.

One of the most successful civic or
CARNATIONS in this country is the New
ark Board of Trade. 1t has accom-
pllshed wonders for Newark. Discus
sing the activities of the Board of
Trade of that city, the Newark sun
day Call says:
The Board of Trade is about I'M
dertaking a campaign to increase its
membership and to provide a per
manent home for itself. Both objects
are greatly commendable. A Board
of Trade or Chamber of Commerce
building, ample in proportions and
pleasing in architectural appearance,
Is an asset to any city. 1t is a stand
ing advertisement testifying to the
city's commercial activity and import
ance and to the civic spirit of its
business men. Such a building should
occupy a prominent site, and in style
and appointments should compare
with the best of its kind in sister cities
of the country. There is no doubt that
one reason why the business men OF
Newark have not hitherto given the
Board of Trade the support that it de-
serves and why 1t has lacked influence
and authority is that it has had no
| permanent home to lend it dignity and
Importance. The Board of Trade
rooms should be the solar plexus of a
city's business life, the nerve center
of its activities and can be made such
if the Board is properly housed and
squipped. A dark room on a side
street will not answer the purpose.
with the new building a certainty
the campaign for a larger member
ship will be easy. No business man,
no citizen interested in the city's
growth and progress al afford not to
be a member. In the past too many
persons have adopted a cynical atti-
tude toward the Board of Trade. In
it's efforts to advance the public in
.%terest 1t has been met with sneers and
derision. 1t is to the credit of those
who have stood manfully by the or
~ganization that they have not per-
mitted this unworthy spirit to discour-
age them or dampen their enthusiasm.
The Board of Trade, handicapped as
it has been, has lone much for the
city, and il its detractors win now
TURF IN and help. no limit can be
placed on its usefulness. 1t Is time to
stop critieizing and to assist in accom-
plishing something"

BORAD OF TRADE
MEETS TONIGHT
Every Merchant Should be Present to
Hear Report of the River De-
velOpment Committee

Every merchant in the city should
be at the meeting of the Board of
Trade tonight at 8 o'clock The COM
mittee on river transportation and
development will have a report to
make. The committee is making pro-
gress. With water transportation,
plus motor transportation, Ocala can
be made an important wholesale and
distributing point for central Florida.
The present trade territory of the city
can be extended. Under existing con.
ditions neighboring cities, in. adjoin-
ing counties, are underselling Ocala
merchants in parts of Marion county
that should be served by Ocala. Points
Or the st. Johns river, as far south as
Sanford, have lower freight rates
than Ocala. And the means are at
hand whereby this city can obtain low
rates. No more important matter
can come before the Board of Trade.
The committee is making good, but
can go so far and no further unless
backed by the merchants of the city,
wholesale and retail. Those who are
not merchants, but who are consum
ers, are also directly interested.
The need of increased housing ia
ciiities is another matter that will
come before the Board of Trade to-
night. And there is an important
question concerning train service.

The governor of Pennsylvania is

place his status. The only recourse
the state of New York has is to get
permission from that court for his

FAVORED COUNTY
TAKING FAIR
Agricultural Committee Expressed
Itself at Meeting Wednesday in
the Courthouse

The members Of the Marion County
Agricultural Committee, which met in
the courthouse here Wednesday aft
ernoOn, voted 8 TO > in favor of a
county-owned and county-operated
fair; and this appeared to be about
the proportion of sentiment for and
against as expressed by the citizens
at the meeting, not members of the
committee. Many of the committee
men were not present. 1t is difficult
for farmers to get To these meetings
during the growing season. 1t was
also evident that considerable mis-
understanding exists not only with
regard to the basis upon which it is
proposed that the county shall take
over the fair, but with regard to the
fair itself
Tie main objection made to a
county-Operated fair was that the
county commissioners already have
more than they can attend to. 1t was
pointed out, IN reply, that the COM
missiOners could employ a manager
for the fair, and il was stated that
the commissioners had this method of
be turned over to the county. 1t was
also brought out that chairmen of the
fair had in the past been members of
the board of county commissioners at
the Iame time that they were direct
ing the fair.
1t had been the hope of those ad-
vocating a county-owned fair that the
people would take more interest in it
if operated by their representatives
AS pointed out in the meeting, the
most expert manager of a fair can.
not make a success of it without the
cooperation of all of the people in the
county. With the people operating
the fair, through their representatives
on, the board of county commissioners,
they would be in a position to do
away with the things that have caus-
ed dissatisfaction in the past.
A sentiment in favor of better
roads in the county was voiced in the
meeting. Several of the farmers, who
opposed the taking over of the fair by
the county, made a plea for better
roads, saying that good roads are the
greatest need fthe county.

BUSINESS CHANGES

Several business changes, or rather
removals, are due in the next few
weeks.
Mr.. B. F. Condor has purchased
from Miss Marguerite Porter the
building in which the Star is now 10
Gated, and will use the lower floor for
the expansion of his growing auto
business.
The Star will leave the building
where it was born and has lived oven
twenty-five years and move to the two
rooms in the Ocala House block, fac
ing the courthouse, which were foI
thirty years occupied by a saloon;
which saloon the Star took large
share in driving out of the town.
The room between the Star and the
Ocala House barber shop, will be oc-
cupied by the Federal Bakery. an up
to-date institution, which will open in
few days.
The o. K. Grocery. now occupying
the Lanier Robertson building, will
return to its former place of business
the Wallis building, as soon as the
necessary repairs are made. The
Robertson building will be occupied

Spanish-American war. The fear of
American motives now also has end

moral leadership that is offered US,
whether we shall accept or reject the
confidence of the world. The war and
result of the peace conference, the
president said, is settled, and moth
