tai and physical microbes in and on
a man are killed and he goes forth en-
livened. refreshed and at peace with
the world. We understand that some
ladies who have the good luck to be
welded to knights make a kick at the
aroma that surrounds and permeates
their spouses, but they don't know
when they are we'll off. One old
knight who lives all by his lone says
that when he has been to a lodge
meeting and hits the hay on his re-
turn home, he can hear a patter on
the floor under his bed, like raindrops
on the roof. as the bugs stampede in
dismay. Whenever we attend we look
around the castle hall at the placid
features of our brethren, shining like
50 many little moons thru wisps of
cloud, and we regret that the walls
can't be taken off so the whole world
might look in and see one of the
finest pictures of fraternal content
lent ever drawn.

SUPREMACY OF THE LAW"

The DeLand News makes the fol-
lowing very sensible and timely COM
r. nts:
The efforts to convict W. c. Hall,
Virginia prohibition enforcement of
f:cer who in the discharge of his duty
killed couple of alleged bootleggers,
have twice resulted in mistrials.
The News has seen, right at home
here, two efforts to convict sheriff
ard a deputy sheriff, who had the
misfortune to kill men while in the
discharge of their duties. The efforts
failed in both instances. The men
we're not in either of the cases killed
for the preparation of minor infrac-
tons of the law. They were killed in
attempting to prevent the officers
from enforcing the law. If a man is
guilty of a minor offense, he would
better peacefully submit to arrest and
stand trial; if he is not guilty, he can
prove his innocence.
If the officers of the law permit
suspected offenders to run over them
to push them off automobiles, to laugh
at them for their discontinue, there
will be no enforcement of law.
Virginia, in trying an officer third
time for insisting on supremacy of the
law, is rejecting little credit on g
great state.

Der of the people who have been busy
for months and years in undermining

stroy our government. The depart
ment, however, admits that it faces

these anarchists deported and the
Americans punished. Congress. fid-
ding while bolsheviki burn copies of
our constitution. has not furnished the
department either with the necessary
laws or the funds to deal with the sit
uation. The present laws were pass
ed when no such situation was dream
ed of, and tho the crisis has been
coming on US for years our governing
body has made no move to meet it. On
the other hand, the radicals have big
slush fund to defend their criminals
and will employ it to the utmost. We
believe in the ultimate defeat of rad
icalism in the United States. but it
will be long and difficult task. there
fore every good citizen should back
his government with his moral cour-
age and be ready to defend it with his
physical strength.

The board of county commissioners
has been informed by the state road
that the county must fish,
cut bait or get out of the boat. In
other words, it must find the means
to cooperate with the state in build
ing the Dixie Highway, or all state
aid will be withdrawn and the county
left a broken link in the highway
chain. The commissioners will make
an effort to create road district out
OF the three commissioners districts
running thru the center of the county
and call for an election to vote bonds
enough to meet the state and federal
appropriation. If this fails, Marion
county will be out of the world, so far
as up-to-date highways are concern
ed. If it succeeds, the other districts
will in time build roads to link with
the main highway. The commission
ers would prefer to have them all
come in, but feel that they cannot
take any chance of losing the Dixie
Highway.

A RIDICULOUS LAW

Commenting on the Stars sugges-
ton, the other day, that a county
road engineer be employed and that
district road overseers be done away
with, two of the county commissioners
informed US that while the suggestion
was a good one it was hampered by
the law, which requires a road over
seer for each commissioner district,
said overseer to be paid not more than
So day.
Any business man can see what a
ridiculous law that is for today. 1t
might have been we'll enough for
twenty years ago, but now it is clog
and a stumbling block. Certainly, the
next legislature should repeal it; that
is, if the next legislature can be pre-
vailed on to do anything useful.
This, however, need not prevent the
employment of a county road engi-
neer, nor the concentration of the
road work on one or two places the
most in need of work, at time. While
the engineer concentrated his efforts
iii one district, the overseers in the
other districts could watch the roads
and report where repairs were most
needed. This supervision. at present
prices, would not be overpaid at So a
cay.
The commissioners say they could
do very we'll at repairing roads if
they could obtain the labor. The state
has taken all but a few of the con-
victs and free labor is as scarce as
hens teeth. What free labor there
is does not want to go far from home
One commissioner says he can obtain
men in his district, but they are not
willing to go into another.
! Some of our friends have blamed us
for not denouncing the present board
of commissioners. The more we see
of the difficulties that beset the board
in it's every attempt at improvement
the more we feel like sympathizing
with it.

no proof that he does not deserve the

Very true. Also true that neither
of them received a decoration for be-

Census Bureau Estimates
Count Made Next Year viii
Show 100000 People

Sam Rogers, federal director of cen
sus, will begin to count noses in the
United States January 2.
'To count the people is a big job.
but have the finest working machine
In and out of Washington" says the
census director.
The census bureau estimated the
count will show 100000 people as
against the 1910 population of o.
S72 266.
The work of gathering data will be
completed in two weeks after it starts
The big job will be compiling it.
Every large city in the country has
one or more census supervisors. New
York city is divided into four districts.
Other supervisors have charge Of one
congressional district each.
Figures on the total population will
not be ready till fall of 1920.
The only additional information this
census will show, not included in pre-
vious decennial censuses, will be the
amount of mortgages on homes. In
1910 the census showed that of the 90
255. 800 homes in the United States,
9,0S3, III were owned and 10,697, S95
were rented. OF the homes owned q
931, 695 were incumbered.

According to Carl w. Alderman,
Mr.. Wilson's delay is responsible for
the defeat of the friends of America
and the Allies in Siberia, and the
other fact that Japan is now virtually
in control of Siberia as far west as
Lake Baikal. AS far as the American
public is concerned, Mr.. Wilson would
have an intricate piece of work to de-
eide just what it wants him to do in
regard to Eastern Asia Some blame
him for ever allowing American
troops in Asia at all. and some want
him to provoke fight with Japan. No
party lines are drawn in this blame.

Nearly every member of the Ocala
lodge of the K. of P. is healthy, and
it's our opinion that the reason there
for is that once a week they thorough
ly disinfect themselves with tobacco
smoke. AS soon as the doors are
closed on lodge meeting, nearly eve
nv member lights up. and soon each
others faces are dimly seen thru a
genial haze Sometimes the smoke is
so thick that if there were any mer-
cenary men among the knights they
would cut it into chunks and carry it
away to peddle as plug tobacco. A
few of the members do not smoke. but
they wrap themselves in the fragrant
fog and seem to enjoy it as much as
