race The Mongolians, (Chinese,
Malays, etc. who outnumber the ne
groes four to one, the Hindoos, in
fact every race over which the white
race tries TO dominate, has the same
characteristic. No people stick to-
gether more closely than the Mexi-
cans in our border states. These peo-
pie are half Spanish, half Aztec, they
have the rights of American citizens,
control entire counties and sometimes
decide state elections; nevertheless,
they are far more clannish than the
negroes in the matter of defending
their evil doers 1t looks to the Star
like the southern negro is becoming
more reasonable than any of these
people. Negroes in this country, and
IL nearly every other where they
come in contact with whites, have
three reasons for defending members
OF their own race, whether innocent or
guilty. One is the natural DISPOSE
ton, which is by the way also strong
IN the whites, who generally side
with each other against people of
other races. Another reason is fear
of class of whites who are so strong
ly possessed by race prejudice that
they will Cypress or even kill negro
just because he is a negro, whether
innocent or guilty. Another is that
peaceable, laW-abiding negroes are
often at the mercy of the lawless of
their own race, and fear reprisal if
they give a criminal up to justice.
White people on their side have been
irritated by the abolitionists and
other people of their type who have
preached social intermingling and
equality. It would be very great
calamity to both races to wipe out the
color line. Everywhere it has been
tried between whites and negroes,
Chinese, Malays or any other dark
race it has resulted in the mental,
moral and physical degradation of
both races. In many parts OF the
South in the last twenty years there
have grown up negro communities
which have tried to build strong,
healthy, intelligent social system Of
their own. The results have proven
that this is the best way. IL it keeps
on growing, the negroes will in a
decade or so become a self-reliant,
elf-respecting race, helping the
whites in all good works and receiv-
ing their help and confidence in re-
turn. If that state of affairs ever be-
comes prevalent, 0cala can be con-
graduated on having done its part in
the work. 1t is everlastingly to the
credit of the white man whenever he
tries to help the men and women Of a
weaker race in their struggle to i'm
prove themselves.

UNNECESSARY TO
WEAR UNIFORMS

It seems to be the impression of a
good many of our returned soldiers
and sailors that they are expected to
wear their uniforms at the celebra-
ton to be given for them Thursday
evening, and as the weather is hot
and all the uniforms except the white
suits of the sailors would be very un-
comfortable, this idea may keep a
number of them away.
1t is not necessary for the boys to
wear their uniforms unless they want
to. They will be just as welcome in
their shirtsleeves as any other way.
They are to wear just whatever they
please. The people want them all to
come and to be as comfortable as pos
sible. 1t is going to be family af-
fair, without any fuss and feathers.
So, come along, boys; in your uni
forms if you want to and In your
civics If you would rather.
All our readers in the country who
see this article will please pass the
word TO all the soldiers and sailors
they see or can send word to, that
they are desired here Thursday aft
ernoon, and that they are to wear
whatever they please.

COUNTY OWNERSHIP
OF THE FAIR

Editor Star: Did you ever know a
board of county commissioners to at
tend to their duties fully. 1t is prac-
tically an impossibiilty for them to
do it. Then why add to their respon-
sibilities by giving them a fair to
run? Do you want any more of your
money wasted? Do you want your
taxes raised? Do you not think that
the county commissioners will be bet
ter employed by devoting their sur
plus energy and time to improving
our roads, now generally neglected,
and to seeing that the thousands of
dollars wasted, by Encouragement in
handling roads, are saved. / have al
ways been opposed to the county even
making an appropriation to the fair.
Any fair not self-sustaining is not
worth having. The fair may possibly
help the business of a few men in
Ocala but do you want to pay for this
in increased taxes? Would you feed
a sick calf for months and years and
let it cost you hundred dollars to
make ten dollar COW? Are you GO
ing to add to your tax burden at the
coming election, or not

IMPROVEMENTS AT
THE MARIANNE SCHOOL

(MarIanna T1meS-COur1er1
This is an age of progress, but in no
place or institution is progress SO
greatly manifested as in the Florida
Industrial School for Boys. This in
stitution, the causeof so much I'M
pleasant notoriety throughout the
state, is now on a level with the finest
institution of its kind anywhere
throughout the country. Modern and
up-to-date in its teachings and mode
OF discipline, it is also a home in the
truest sense of the word to the lads
who for one reason or another have
splendid condition has been brought
about through the earnest desire and
efforts of the superintendent, DR.. T..
E. McClane, and Mr. NJ. A. Garrard,
assistant to DIR. McClane. The entire
staff is composed of trained and effic-
lent men, who give to their work a
keen personal interest that is ines
Unable in its beneficial results to the
school and the state at large.
On June 18th the white boys were
given the treat of their young lives.
They liked to Blue Springs, where a
camp was established, and there they
remained until the cool of the evening
two days later, when they returned TO
the school The camp was made on
the bluff overlooking the beautiful
springs. Magnificent oaks gave
ample protection from the sun in the
day, and clean blankets made COM
Portable beds at night. The boys were
allowed to battle in the spring and the
joy this afforded them was a pleasure
to behold. They brought healthy ap..
petites to substantial meals, which
they had themselves prepared, and
the task of washing dishes was turn
ed into game when the blue basin
OF Blue Springs became the dishpan.
A finer bunch could not be found any,
where than this crowd of young fell
lows who are responding to the call
to their honor, upon which DIR. Nc
Clane is placing them.
The lads made the hike from the
school to Blue Springs, a distance of
nine miles, in from two to two and a
half hours, and the fact that the day
following there was no stiffness or
aching joints in young bodies shows
conclusively that exercise of the
proper sort is being carried on in the
school. These boys are receiving
training. that not only tends to de-
velop the body, making it fit for in
dustrials demands, but that broadens
and develops the mind, thus making
for a better future citizenry.
It is indeed gratifying to know
that the boys of Florida who must
come under a state Institution, have
such excellent training as the Florida
Industrial School for boys affords
under its present splendid manage
ment.
