1t being very evident that both
Ocala and the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad were losing money because
the Coast Line trains do not stop up
town, a number of our citizens have
advocated the board of trade making
a move to induce the road to stop the
day trains long enough for passen-
gers to step on and off. 1t would not
be an unreasonable request, for the
trains have to stop to flag the cross
ings anyway. The Star has consult
ed the officials and finds that if the
Coast Line stopped its trains without
keeping it's ticket Office open, the rail-
road commission would probably in
terfere. The harm done the town by
the Coast Line being halfway shut
off from its passenger traffic becomes
daily more evident. We hope the road
will hold on to it's uptown station I'M
til the time comes that traffic will
justify it in opening it, and we also
hope that the time will come when
the people of Florida will have wis
dom enough to either abolish its rail-
road commission or fill the places on
it with business men instead of poll

Kansas City, Mot is a new kind
Of Woodrow Wilson that this middle
western country is observing as he
proceeds on what he frankly calls the
greatest journey OF his life. No longer
Is he simply an eloquent orator or a
profound thinker with high ideals. The
president has become a real fighter
and in his crusade for the adoption
Of the peace treaty with the league
OF nations included, the only pre-
ventive, he asserts, Of an early and
more terrible war that the world has
ever known, he has been delivering
the strongest speeches of his career,
putting into them his most powerful
words and gestures, and, indeed,
throwing into them personality more
virile than even his friends believed
he possessed. And this has won more
friends for him and the league, even
among his political opponents.
A Republican crowd of 1900 in ST.
Louis Friday rose and cheered for
more than a minute when Mr.. VIII
son designated as cutters these enc
mics of the league who have been
holding up it's adoption.

Another proof Of how unjust union
labor can be to other union labor was
shown in the streetcar strike in Tor
onto the other day. For some slight
cause, the streetcar men went on
strike at 4:3O in the afternoon, and
the cars stood still for four hours.
Among the people who had to walk
home, many of them for miles, were
ten thousand union workingmen and
women. They and the general public
had not in the least injured the street
car men, yet they were the ones who
had to suffer.

ties. he explained. at least the pos
sibility was very remote.
Each nation agrees, first. he ex-
planned, either TO submit differences
TO arbitration and accept the decision
Of the arbitrator, or submit the diff
Ierences to discussion by the council
Of the league. In this latter case. the
nations agree to allow six months for
the discussion. II settlement failed
after that time, they agree to wait
three months longer before going to
war, and no nations after that period
If cooling Off would fight he asserted
In case a nation refused TO agree
either to arbitration or discussion 1t
outlawed itself, the president explain
ed. 1t would be economically and so
cially boycotted by the rest of the
world, and this punishment, he said,
would be more terrible than war

league opponents who pose as China's
friends in this matter, he inquired {:
How do they expect to get Shan
tung back for China if not through the
league? Would they go to war for II?
Accusing them Of fearing the re-
possibilities Of the league, he de-
manded: If you are Chinas friends,
should you scuttle and run? That's
not the kind of American / am" Again
the crowd rose and cheered.
The president explained Americas
need for being part of the league be-
cause Of business reasons, but said
they came last in his mind. He said,
In conclusion, at st. Louis: IF there
Is no league, there will be, in the
yengeful providence of God, another
struggle in which not merely a few
hundreds of thousands of Americans
/ will have to die, but as many millions
as may be necessary to accomplish the
! final freedom of the world"
| More than 100, 1000 persons lined the
/ streets of the Missouri metropolis as
/ the president and his party passed
/ through, and a wave of cheers marked
! his progress. At the luncheon al
| which he spoke, he was hailed as the
"Benefactor of the World" and again
! as the Greatest Citizen of the World
! In the evening he spoke to 5000 al

position of military instructor at the
University of Florida, but he was in

night, a number of our citizens, among
them several ex-soidiers, were gather

unanimously decided for it. Some of
them had been thru the thickest of
the war, too.

ers, and took from them little
Walter, and waited his spirit to
the unknown land. Little Wal
ter lived but a short time with
earthly friends, being eight
months old, lacking one day, but
how sweet and consoling to our
bereaved hearts to realize that
Jesus has said, Suffer little
children to come unto me, for of
such is the kingdom of heaven. I"
His sufferings were intense, but
thank the Lord they are now ov-
err and his dear little form is now
resting. He had been sick all his
life and fell asleep in Jesus April
19, to sweetly rest until the re-
surrection morn. He was ten
der and affectionate child and
loved by all who knew him. His
childish voice will be missed by
father, mother, two brothers and
two sisters, and yet it is a great
consolation for them to know that
he is on the sunny shores of the
bright hereafter, where he and
little sister Sallie watches across
the chilly waters for the coming
of papa, mama and sisters and
brothers. Yes, in the sweet bye
and bye we will meet little Wal
ter if we hold out faithful to the
end.

would say let your affliction be
turned to a blessing for we are
told ali things work together for
good to them that love God.

trials and sufferings and be not
discouraged. Farewell, little
Walter, until we come to inset
thee in thy heavenly h5me.
