We had little editorial, the other
day, about bolshevism and anarchism
ard that sort of thing and, growing
more and more indignant, as we
wrote, we finally suggested that we
might have to resort to old remedies.
The Ocala Star stays:
"The associate editor of the
Gainesville Sun suggests a 'Ku Klux
Klan' to deal with the bolsheviki.
Looks good to US. If Col. Bob Davis
will organize legion, we will join"
But, dear brother, we want to wait
little while on our government. It
is busy right now with the peace
league Then we want to wait little
longer to see what Congress is going
to do with the immigration laws. If
then we must act, we'll be down to see
you, dear Star. and We'll bring the old
shroud and white, cone-shaped cap we
used to wear. We won't have to ride
the state but once. We won't have to
kill anybody. They'll never let us get
close enough to them for that
Gainesville Sun.
Very good. but we respectfully re-
mind Col. Davis that he and Va
haven't many more decades to wait.

groom's home in Great Darlington,
Mass.
This wedding was somewhat of a
surprise to Miss Martins many
friends, for thought they knew it had
been decided on, they did not expect
it to occur until few weeks later.
The bride is one of the most popular
young ladies that we have ever had
in Punta Gorda. Practically the whole
town feels an affectionate interest in
her, and the same feeling is felt for
her in Ocala, where she was reared
and her parents live. Indeed, she is
the pet of Ocala and the idol of Punta
Gorda. 1t is therefore superfluous to
say that hosts of loving friends in
both places sincerely wish for her a
long life of uninterrupted happiness,
for that is matter of course.
Her personal attractions and men
tai attainments are so generally
known and recognized as to require
no comment.
Mr.. Black is certainly to be con-
graduated on having won such a
treasure for his life's companion. No
doubt he will devote his life to max
ing her happy. We understand thar
his parents occupy a high stand In
Great Darlington, where they will
live.

President Wilson and Lloyd George
have pledged the support of America
and Britain to France in case of an
other unjust invasion. The pledges,
OF course. are dependent on our Sen

partisanship and make Mr.. Wilson's
words good. This pledge is the proper
thing to give. To refuse to endorse
it will be dishonorable and unsafe.

Friction has developed between the
regulars and the national guardsmen
in the meeting of the American Lee
gion at ST. Louis. No reason for it.
The national guard couldn't have
managed very well without the regu-
lars, and the regulars couldn't have
done much without the national guard.
And both would have been unequal to
the task without the drafted men.
They had all better forget past diff
ferences and go forward.

GREATEST BAsTILLE CELEBRATION

Camille Desmouins showed a great imagination when he
sprang upon the table in the garden Of the kings uncle, seized
a leaf, pinned it on the lapel OF his coat and started Paris toward
the Bashlle. but from that night until the day that he and Danton
were hauled down together to Samson, little did he dream that
$50 years later the event would be celebrated in a manner to
surpass anything yet seen by man.
The Bastine and Germany stood alike for autocratc power
for might over right. Both were surrounded, the one by walls
OF stone, the other by walls of military force and notifications
deemed impregnable to any attack. The Bastile fell to bowling
mobs and was RACED. Germany fell to those whom she consid-
cred only a mob as compared with her perfect military organi-
cation. Both were in the way Of the development of human
thought, of human liberty, Of the realization of human aspra-
tons.
Poor Camille and the towering Danton did not live to taste
the great fruits which grew in the orchards which were watcred
with the blood Of so many heroes as well as mere men. Camille
wept on the way to the guilotine, and again and again cried
out to the crowds on the streets, at is !. Camille Desmoulins,
who started the revolution. Do you not know me" in vain
efforts to be rescued, but Danton, who had organized the
national defenses, walked calmly up to the exccutioner, remark
ing, "When you cut my head off, hold it up for the crowd to
see. 1t is a great head"
The movement that the one started and the other svs-
tematzed went on, falling into hands once almost the equal in
corruption and ~depravity of those now strangling Russia. But
that could not stop the wave of progress. Napoleon rode the
crest tor two decades to a fall greater than that of William
Hohenzolern. he tell, but in the few years that he dominated
most OF Europe there was more progress along all good lines
than in any previous century, lie fell and theawheels of human
liberty were turned back for a round and checked for a cycle
But the idea of liberty could not be %smothercd. Those whom
the Prusslans saved at Waterloo had been inoculated, and con.
quered the Pussans on the same plains where human destinies
have been changed so often in the past 1000 years.
And we of today probably stand at the door opening upop \,
great an era Of advancement as did Camille Desmoulns on Iu1y
Ia, HS9. His fertile imagination could not foresee what the
human mind, unshackled from a dominating system. would
evolve IN the few years from his day to ours. Who can saw what
the genius OF the new nations created by this upheaval and the
loosenlng OF thought in other nations will bring forth?

TAX RATES AND POLITICS

Mayor Monteverde, A. D. Mason, his commissioner of
streets, and c. B, Quinn, his Republican commissioner of police,
who is now so buslIy engaged in recognizing the police depart
ment, not on a basis of efficiency in the maintenance of law and
order, but in politics, showed both a lack of taste and political
acumen IN their attack upon the motives of the tax rate commit
tee. That committee was charged by the official heads Of prac-
ucaly every business and uphtt organization of Memphis with
the duty OF trying to avoid an unprecedented raise in city taxes,
from SlSJ to $40, or 40 cents on the hundred dollars. 1t was
composed OF five men who have never taken part as partisans in
any political campaign, nor had either chance or desire to profit
from the results of any campaign, any more than any plain ci-
zen is benefited or damaged by the government under which he
lives. The general committee raised a fund for the necessary
expenses OF the investigation, and the special committee gave a
month to making the investigation.
The report was free from politics. 1t laid blame upon past
administrations for the fallacious policy of issuing bonds for
temporary Improvements, and gave the present administration
credit for what good it is doing in increased collections of
privilege taxes. The report bore on its face, as in the past or
present actions of the committeeman, no suggestion at all Of
politics.
But the report did show plainly how, by Topping off some
useless offices and getting a days work for a days pay, the
people OF Memphis can have for 1919 a good city government
with a tax rate of 81. This is 20 cents above the rate for 1918
The committee showed that this 20cent increase, with the raise
in assessed values over 1918 and the increase in pickup taxes,
and from other sources, would yield some $4,000 more than
the city spent in 1918.
The majority of the city commission came back with a
Fourth OF July Grafton attacking the motives of the committee,
and trying to pick some immateral flaws in its report. But
the commission did not join the issue with the committee. 1t
charged politics, but failed to show WHY three assistant city
two assistants easily could do the work of the legal department.
II INDUCED in flowing rhetoric, but .faiedrto show why the

OF the juvenile court, 1t dealt profusey with metaphors, but

rates,

DEAL WITH THEM

Some OF the most conservative minds in the country are
becoming apprehensiye over the excessive cost of living, and
some OF them are predicting actual violence il some step is not
taken to curb the excessive gluttony OF the postwar profiteers
If the situation were the result Of economic conditions it
might be adjusted by increased wages and a horizontal rise in
all commodities to equal the price OF necessities.
But from revelations produced by a slight investigation by
the federal trade commission we are informed that four or five
great industries control practically all OF the foodstufis in the
country, and that they have gone into a combine to control the
leather output and other essentials of life.
1t is not reasonable to. attempt an adjustment to fit an
abnormal condition. The abnormal situation should be made to
conform to natural conditions. 1t is not enough to say that
there is no adequate law to fit the case. The law can always be
found to cover a crime, and no greater crime was ever perpe-
trated against the American people than the cornering of food
or another.
