A PANIC OF EDWARDS

In all the history of the National
House of representatives it is impossi-
BILE to recall a performance so scan
dalOus as the action of the present
House in resorting to mob law to rush
through the soldiers bonus bill Satur-
day. Never before has the House,
charged with the initiation of revenue
measures, instituted gag rule to
pass, practically without debate, a
great revenue bill. Never before did
this branch Of Congress, intended in
our system of government to be d.
rectly representative of the people, so
brazenly and flagrantly betray the
people as it did when, by a proceed

GOOD NEWS FOR OUR HOSPITAL

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
A city or community having an in
stitution of merit and great worth
within its borders, is often unmindful
of its duty toward it and too stinting
in it's expression of its appreciation.
That we of Ocala have such an in
stitution is beyond doubt; and that
the citizens are not fully appreciative
of its Importance and value is mani
tested by the absence of frequent pub
lie praise.

1t is to be noted that the damning
discredit of this performance is TO be
charged to no one political party. Re-
publicans and Democrats alike ran
wild over one another to get their
share of the loot. Whatever profit at
the polls may come of it from the
soldier vote will be distributed to Re-
publicans and Democrats alike. The
general public should follow the same

the general public takes anything like

they intended to kill them and take

that it were not necessary to kill her
and left the car. Lannon's after

Lannon's fired at her with 80 cali

alleged, inflicted wounds upon Hol-

THAT a gross sales tax will be re-

Bache declares. among other things,
that the present tax system results in
