THE MIAMI HERALD AT ITS
WORST

Malignant hatred could not reach
much lower depths than the follow
ing from the Miami Herald:
Apparently, it is up to the presi-
dent to declare his own inability. That
according to the general attitude of
party leaders, is the only thing that
can raise the question. The president,
recognizing that the condition of his
health makes it impossible for the
great affairs of the United States TO
be administered properly, should an.
nounce his inability as fact and ster
aside from office. That is what he
should do, evidently.
but not this president. And we
need not expect it. No matter how i'll
he has been or how slow his recovery,
in spite of the constant bulletins
which say every week that he has re-
sumed all his duties, he himself has
never thought or considered that the
country might be suffering through
his inability. His only fear has been
not for the government, but for the
abrogation of his own authority
through conferences called without
his permission. 1t has been his own
prestige, and not the good of the
country which he has sworn to pre-.
serve, which has concerned him.
1T is useless, therefore, to expec'
that a president of this type would
ever recognize himself as unable to
maintain his office. 1t is not his abil.
ity, but himself, his own individuality
which he believes warrants his re
naming in the presidentil chair.
"This is all part of the tendency to
ragard Woodrow Wilson as a greater
person than the president of the Unit
ed States of America. In Europe he
felt that it was the personality of
Woodrow Wilson, rather than the au.
thority of the United States, which
gained him ovation. In America he
forgets that it is only through the will
of the people that Woodrow Wilson
has ever been heard of.

Stephens has been ill for. long time
with an incufable disease and her

phens family had only resided in Ocala
for a few weeks. The body of the de-
ceased accompanied by her son and
other members Of the family, was
taken to their former home at Ala
chua, where the funeral was held on
Monday afternoon.
At an early hour Tuesday morning
the sweet spirit of Mrs. ]. D. Small
winged its way back to its maker.
The death of Mrs. Small took place
at the family home in North Ocala.
Mrs. Small too had been in bad health
for many months and for some weeks
before her death it was known that
the end was not far distant and only
the day prior to her death Mrs. Small
made her last earthly arrangements
and was calmly and peacefully await
ing the end. She is survived by her
husband and by one step son, Mr..
Homer Small, graduate several
years ago from the Ocala High school.

He has held the office of county
judge for period of eight years, and
has given such almost perfect salts

gracefully steps down and out.
He is ambitious and believes that

When, number of years ago, hemo.

books and prescribed remedy OF his
own which proved singularly success
full, and not only gave him a local
reputation, but gave him recognition
in the medical journals OF the country,
and the reputation he then acquired
in his profession he sustained through
life.
DR.. Veal came to our county from
South Carolina about fifty years ago

hair began. Every moment he ex-
pected to hear his arm or ankle
crack or feel the bones Of his head
give way. The only things he could
stir were his eyclids, his Jaw and
tongue and his right hand.
Up to this time the air he had
been able to suck up into his nos
trils had been hot but pure. Now
he began to smell a rich seasoned
smoke like oak in fireplace and a
dry pungent something that tasted
like the Fourth Of July. And, in
stead Of darkness, q dull red rehec-
tion f1ickered from somewhere be-
fore his eyes. He wondered how
soon the fire would get to him. Then
a growing numbness at his head and
body overlook him.
When he came to he was lying in
the goldenrod at the upper side Of
the yard. A ragged stick Of card
board with the letter P painted in
white on It's red surface stood up
