AS Others See II
ASSASSIN oF LINCOLN nor HoNoREp
(Ocala STAR


There has been queer story in the papers the
last few days, to the effect that statue of John
Wilkes Booth assassin of Lincoln, stood in an
honored place in the city of Troy, Ala. If such
the case it would make every loyal Amer
ican no matter what state he was born in, in
dignant SO Pelham A. Barrows, national COM
mander of the Sons of Veterans is not much to
be blamed ii he went off haf-cocked and sent
letter to President Harding. asking him to have
the offending statue torn down Comrade Bar
rows might, however, have waited few days
and fully informed himself And it was useless
to write to the president for if the people of
Troy had the bad taste to allow of their pub
lie places to be SO desecrated it is beyond the
power of those outside their city limits to re,
move it.
Troy however, is loyal town-one where lit
tie pools of sectonalism left from the sixties van
ished forever under the mighty wave of Amer
icansm that arose in 1917.
The story of this statue has been told us by
people now living here, but who know Troy In
the days Immediately after our great civil war,
when sectional hatred yet intense, one man
whose judgment perverted with bitterness
had a statue made of John Wilkes Booth and of
fered it to the city, which then. in the
scarcely lessening heat of the recent conflict
had the wisdom to refuse it.
The man took his statue and set it up else
where. 1t but small figure, and its puny
size and obscure place soon caused it to be for
gotten or remembered only in a casual way
as the freak of embtered man. Few of
those who have lived in or visited Troy during
the last of years knew it was there, and
most of those who it didn't know what It
was.
Those who may have the idea that the south
has had the disposition to erect statues
to John Wilkes Booth should rid themselves of
that opinion. Booth was not in the southern
army, and he made no sacrifice for the south
His crime was the result of Il mixture of egotism
and insanity, and his only defense is that he had
not sense enough to know what he was doing
And we never heard southerner pay him any
higher compliment that to call him a fool
And he fool, for he struck down the
souhs most powerful. friend at the time she
needed him most. Our best and wsest men
realized this at once. 1t is true that during the
war and for some time after, the south had the
same hatred of Lincoln that any people will
have for the chief of any other people with whom
they at war. But it did not take long for
this feeling to pass and for the south to realize
that the nation had lost the chief of those who
were inclined to be generous and just and who
would doubtless have saved her most of the
humiliations that left far bitterness than
can be caused by honorable warfare.

POOR, OLD NEBRASKA

Nebraskas eyes are fearful, there's in
her marts; her sons pretend they're cheerful, but
they have aching hearts Oh, still her hogs may
fatten, her steers do passing well, from Broken
Bow to StrattOn from Hastings to Odell; she
still may harvest glory through fresh and sailed
meat and live in song and story by raising corn
and wheat; her bards may gain the bacon, her
healers bring back health, but Bryan has for
saken that sad-eyed commonwealth There other
living wonders may dance around and sing and
with their verbal thunders make all the wellSins
ring; the state may always nourish strong
whose aims are high. boy orators may flourish
and fade away and die; and Warwicks oft may
ramble athwart the pleasant scene, and COM
moners may gambol upon the Lincoln green; the
future is uncharted, we know not what may be,
for Bryan has departed. alas and huy gee!
No homes so well defended 1t has no vacant
chair, no flock we'll attended, but one dead
lamb is there. From York to Weeping Water
Nebraska feels bereaved. and every son and
daughter is sore and deeply peeved: men drink the
bitter mixture and say the facts crime, for
Willyum seemed fixture. landmark for all
time. The affairs all are shaken, and rent the
temples dome. for Bryan has forsaken his old
Nebraska home.

WHAT FLORIDA COULD DO

Evidently the railroads have decided to give
the public lesson. With enc hand in the fed
era treasury and the other in the pockets of the
shippers. they appear TO have the country in a
gfip which would be the envy of Stranger"
Lewis. The champion wrestler. And Florida, de-
pendent upon transportation for the very existence
Of her business, is being hit harder, perhaps, than
any state east CT the Rockies.
What can be done about itp The government is
sideslepping the issue When the roads call for
money, ii IS ladlcd out to them with free hand,
while dependent soldiers who made the world safe
lor democracy stand and wait If they want 10
boost their already piralical rates, the Interstate
Commerce Commission is delighted 10 be their
humble servant. Unless The people themselves can
devise scme means Of relief their complaints are
merely idle wines not worth repeating.
Bui the people can do something. if they will
They can do something through private initiative,
through scmi-public organization through state
governments. Take Florida for example Florida
could, il she would, step out from the railroad
yoke as free and independent as if the roads were
public servants instead Of public masters
Florida could extend her highways TO connect
with all important centcrs organize a system of
bus and truck traffic, cut rates thereon fifty
per cent (shll leaving wide margin of profit
and thereby take practically all the local passenger
and freight traffic out CT the hands of the rail-
reads
Florida could put light vessels on all her
streams and bays, dong little dredging and i'm
proving where necessary. put rates down to a
figure appropriate 10 the cheapest known form Of
transportation and carry immense business
between points having water connection. As that
includes perhaps mo-thirds of the population CT
the state the result would be immense
Florida could organize a line Of occan-gong
steamers by which the principal ports of the state
could he connected with the principle cities of the
United States. at cost Ct not over one-fourth
the present rail charges. By this MEANS every
Florida product could be marketed, and every
Florida import brought in without the assistance
Of the roads.
Florida could make arrangements with adjoin-
ing states for the extension and interchange of
bus and truck service. and the Improvement
and maintenance Of highways which would extend
the area of the home market as far as desirable
All this and more Florida could do. II is
question ct nerve, enterprise. cooperation and
staying quality. Time was when the railroads
were real monsters of oppression. because the
people had no weapons in hand with which to fight
them. Now, they are merely stuffed lions. which

nobody but themselves to blame If they Submit to
their present unprecedented and absolutely ridicu-

buying. yet to- big shorts covered

later. Export business was light
and although 10000 barrels flour
were sold at the seaboard late Mon
day there was no export business
in wheat reported until after the
close when the late break caught
resting orders from Germany and
500.o bushels were sold for ex-
port.
Heavy covering by a large local
operator combined with the advance

vance, 1c to 3SSc only to drop to
