"SHOO- Y''

Editor Star: The criticisms of
George Harvey and his speech at a
recent banquet in London by some of
our leading papers, the Ocala Evening
Star, Ocala Banner and Courier
Journal, remind me of an amusing in
cident in Congress some years ago.
Blaine and Ben Butler had no love one
for the other So. after a severe verb
al castigation by the former of the
latter, Buffers only reply was: "Shoo-
fly, don't bother me-" R. NJ.
The Star is grateful that "R. NJ"
puts it in the same class with the
CourieE-Journal, but fails to see the
point of his story. If he intends TO
compare Harvey with Butler, we ven
ture TO remind him of the ancient
Greek admonition: Speak only good
of the dead"

It's all very well to say there is a
fool born every minute, but there is
also a rascal born every minute, and
it's not to the interest of the public
that the rascals be allowed to rob the
fools. A story comes to US from
Cocoa, of two old ladies down that
way. who worked many weeks, bend
ing over not stove in the summer
season, preparing guava jelly. By this
they laid up a few hundreds dollars.
Along came a swindler, well-dressed,
smooth-spoken scoundrel, and sold the
old ladies several shares of worthless
stock, for which they paid the dol
lars they made by their hard work.
These women were not fools-they
only didn't know. But of the man,
wasn't he further down in the scale
of villainy than a burglar or high
wayman? There is no law to punish
him. Should not he be tarred and
feathered and ridden on a rail, and
finally dismissed with strokes from a
hickory CAD? If the law can't protect
the weak and ill-informed, their
neighbors should do so. There are
some of the same tribe in Ocala today,
looking for some one to swindle

PREPAREDNESS IN
THE POSTOFFICES

The local postoffice resembled a
small arsenal yesterday, for it seemed
that every person one met coming out
Of the mail department was armed
with heavy Colt As calibre revolver
of the type used in the American army
IN this country and overseas during
the war with Germany. The revolv-
ers, which are of the type using three
cartridges with steel bullets on clips,
We're issued to the majority of the
postoffice employees, and each was in
structed to wear the guns in an order
issued by Frank A. Keene, superin-
tendent of mails, at the local Office
yesterday.
The revolvers, including holsters
and cartridges were received by Supt.
Keene late Saturday afternoon from
the arsenal at Augusta, Ga, and were
issued out to the railway mail clerks
and to heads of the local mailing d.
vision yesterday.
Supt. Keene issued an order yester-
day that beginning on that day no
mail will leave the local Office without
an armed man accompanying it. Ev-
cry truck load of United States mail
either going out or coming into the
local Office will be well guarded by
armed men, Supt. Keene said. This
measure was adopted by the United
States government as protection
from mail rObberies of which there
wa sa regular epidemic all over the
country last year.
Recently the postmaster geenral of
the United States issued an order or
derirg every department handling
mails in this, as in every other section
of the country, to be fully armed at all
times in the future as precautionary
measure against mail robberies, and
with that order in view issued Tequisi-
lions on government arsenals for re-
volvers and ammunition.
In discussing the action of the de-
partment at Washington, Mr.. Keene
stated that while it was true the local
office had not as yet suffered any loss
of money or valuables from the mails
here, he did not intend to take any
chances and was going to obey the in
structions of the postmaster general
to the letter.
Recently Mr.. Keene issued an order
preventing any clerk or other employee
Of the local postoffice from entering
the postoffice building after 6:15 p.
M, without a permit signed either by
the superintendent of mails or the
postmaster.-Miami Herald.
The postal department has sent to
the Ocala postoffice one long, large
and bilious looking Colts As, evident
ly donated by the army. 1t looks like
it has been used, and it is not its fault
if there are no notches on its husky
handle. With it is box of cartridges
about as big around as cups on
thermos bottles and each with a big
bull-dog-looking bullet sticking out OF
the case. Several of the postoffice
clerks are ex-service men and know
how to handle the young gatling, 50
