antee that he will not sell cigarettes
to any minor under the age of
twenty-one years, or to any person
who may buys them for any minor.
No person may buy or give any
cigarettes or the "makins" to any
minor, under heavy penalty. In adj
dition to the local license fee, the
dealer must also provide himself with
revenue stamps which are to be OBJ
tanned from the state treasurer, and
stamp for one cent of state revenue
must be attached to every package
of ten cigarettes sold. 1t is claimed
for the new law that it will more
certainly prevent smoking of cigar
cites by school boys and girls, and
that it will bring to the state hum
dreds of thousand of dollars of
revenue which is now not realized
because of the general custom of
"bootlegging" cigarettes.
Not Many Bills Ditched
When the General Assembly clos
ed late Friday night, with the clocks
stopped just before twelve noon,
there were but few bills left in the
hands of either sitting committee.
The Senate sifters had about fifty,
many of them from the House side,
and the House had cleaned up all its
own bills and had a few of the other
side that did not look good to the
sifters. A few of the bills held back
are important, however, and right
fully should have been considered by
the whole membership.
Commendation must be given to
Lieut-Gov. John Hammill for his eff
cheney and hard work in pushing
Legislation along. He kept a good
rein on the Senate and allowed no
loafing if he could help it. His rul-
ings were generally fair and prompt,
and the verdict of the members is
that he made very fine presiding
officer.
Speaker Arch McFarlane in the
House is likewise complimented. The
speaker maintained little Setter
organization among his House mem
bership that could be brought to his
aid at any time, and it was a busi-
ness organization. With a potential
majority of 6S members of the House
-able to hold upall progress of the
states affairs and beat anything they
wished, these members did not often
get together on any set program and
outside of faithful AZ, did not
combine to throttle legislation very
much. The splendid outcome in the
House is largely due to the tact and
sagacity of Speaker McFarlane. He
is a man whom the state of Iowa
should use in larger capacity.

The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1921-06-10

Some well-posted and prominent
Floridians have been studying lately
on the following catastrophe theory:
That the prosecutions against Cats
will result in his acouittal and in his
returning to public life as represen-
tative in Congress from the third
Florida district. e., West Florida.
There is an element of possibility in
this theory. AS its readers will re-
member, the Star objected to paying
any further attention to Cats after
he was out of Office If the majority
of the people of this state had had as
much backbone as so many tape
worms, they would have driven Cats
from Office in 1919. Since they were
so poor-spirited as to put up with
him two years longer. they shouldn't
pounce on him now that he is only
private citizen. The much advertised
legislative probe has done nothing
that we can sect seems to have
carefully corkscrewed around the of
fetal whom it should have bored
thru. As we have said before, we
don't believe any jury is going to
convict Cats on the testimony of
Mendenhall, but the Bradford county
authorities may have corroborative
evidence. The peonage case in the
federal court is more serious. The
government is trying to break up
peonage, and if Cats is guilty he will
have hard fight to escape from the
tolls. He will have to be acquitted in
both courts, for a conviction in either
would take away his citizenship. Ac-
quittal of both charges would
strengthen his hand. but we can
hardly believe the people of West
Florida are foolish enough to send
him to Congress. If they are they
should be turned not only out of Flor
ida but out of the Union. They have
thousands of better men than Cats,
and to send him to represent them in
Congress would prove them unfit for
elf-government.

BIG STILL CAPTURED
AT WEST PALM BEACH

ASSOCIATED Press)
West Palm Beach. June 10-Deputy
Sheriff Stanley ]. Wakely captured
several days ago the largest and most
complete moonshine still ever seen in
this county. The deputy stumbled
across the plant about 10 miles west
of the city and apparently run"
had been completed several hours
previously as no finished liquor was
about the place. The still had a ca
pacity of so gallons daily and Wakely
found Is barrels of mash and 81
empty 50-gallon barrels in addition
to large quantity of empty bottles.
The apparatus was made of copper
and of expert manufacture. and is be-
lieved to have been the source of the
highest grade "moonshine" in this
section. During the days search
Wakely discovered another still of
smaller capacity about a mile from
the larger plant.

WHAT BRITAIN DID
TO WIN THE WAR
Tampa Tribune)

(Tampa Tribune)
There are those in this country, in
dividuals and newspapers, that never
lose opportunity to attempt to belit-
tie the part taken in the world war
by Great Britain. They cry that this
country was made to bear the major
burden in order that British blood
might not be shed; and there are
even those who demand a rupture be-
tween this country and Great Britain
on the ground that we have been
made the financial and war stool" of
that designing nation"
The United States of America sent
into France, Italy and Russia, a little
more than 100000 men. We had a
total military strength of 3,S50,000
men, the full quota of which we were
preparing to throw into the trenches
along with the men of Great Britain,
France, Belgium and Italy, when the
collapse of the German war machine
came. Those who knew what this
country was doing, and what the al
lies were doing, knew that France
was being literally "bled white" of
men and money; that Belgium was
laying itself willing sacrifice on the
altar of justice and the rights of ma
tons to live and direct their own af-
fairs; that Great Britain was putting
into the field, as fast as it could COL
lect and train them, an almost un-
countable host of men. The fair men
of this country knew that never was
a more cruel lie told than that which
said the British empire was sacrific-
ing the rest of the world to save its
manhood. But none of US ever knew
how great had been the numbers of
men the British nation put into serv-
ice, or how great the losses in death
and casualty it had sustained until
the recent parliamentary report which
gave the cold figures of the war so
far as that country is concerned was
published.

for the benefit of those who have
doubted our British ally, and have
been saying unfair things about it,
shows that nation had total enlist
ing of 9,496, $40, with casualties num-
bering 3,266, 1862; and that out of this
total Great Britain and Ireland gave
6,211 APT enlistments, with deaths and
casualties totaling 2,436,964. The rest
of the grand total of enlistments and
casualties and deaths were furnished
by Canada, Australia, New Zealand,

PARTY CONVENTIONS
Tampa Tribune)

The Ocala Star exactly meets our
views in the matter of that bill which
was introduced in the legislature to
compel the democratic party to call
state convention. We have forgotten
what dolt drafted and fathered the
bill-it really does not matter Imag4
inc the Congress of the United States
passing an act requiring the demo-
cratic party or the republican, or any
other party, to hold national conven-
ton, or not to hold one?
Paradoxical as it may sound, legis-
latures have no business foolirg with
politics. When legislature gets into
politics then there is trouble and eve
rything else that goes to discomfort
the people and disrupt government.
The political parties of a state or
nation are entirely distinct. or ought
to be, from the governing and legisla-
tive machinery of state or country.
Each political party has clearly the
right to formulate its rules of proce-
dure, to announce the principles by
which it is to be guided, and to lay
down the requirements for member
ship in it. When the democratic
party of Florida wakes up to a reali-
cation that it has been lost in the
maze of popularism that is now
sweeping the country under the name
of democracy" it will rouse itself
and call convention of its known de-
pendable leaders, and will then take
its rightful place in the political
arena of this state. Il will not need,
nor does it intend to be ordered by the
legislature.
