so days stay It has been forced %
snow its hand openly in behalf Of the
tribe of railroad financiers. II has
suspended the cut until January 4,
1922, so that it may have time TO IN
vestigate as to whether this cut IS
best for public welfare. s... s..
The commission and congress did
not need nearly 50 much time to be
sure that rates so high that they
break the business Of the country
were needed and in accord with public
welfare.
Next to facts which show the ur-
gent need of government ownership
and operations of the roads, q startl-
ing example like Ford's Of railroad
run for service is a thing that rail-
road finarciers want to keep out OF
the public mind. 81
Ford is reported to have cleared g
half million on his little road in few
months with lowered freight rates and
the highest wages ever paid IN rail
labor circles. The humblest ennploye
gets at least Sc for eight hours work
and the engineers get 1915 a month.

MARKET BILL PASSES

The Capper- Tincher bill to regulate
grain market gambling has at last
passed both houses Of congress IN a
considerably amended form.
For some reason which we leave to
the reader to guess a majority Of the
senators were in favor of retaining
the wire house system by which grain
gamblers in the larger country towns
get their tips on the market news and
Of retaining merely speculative buy
ing and selling. +.
While we have been unable to ex-
anime the text Of the bill, as passed,
for jokers, those who put It through
assure the public that it gives coop
eratiye organizations the right to
function on the board Of trade. We
find it hard to believe that the farm
ers have won this much of victory
and will be looking to see what the
game is until we actually see coop
eratives holding memberships in such
exchanges and doing business.

scribe from his official records the
sort of weather and light conditions
that existed on the nights Of August
and Of this year. Witness had

Unwelcorned Christ" Be-
fore Students.


Professor Plato e. Shaw, professor
of history Of Christian thought and
progress at Wesley college, spoke at
the college church services in Corwin
hall Sunday morning in the absence
Of DR.. E. P. Robertson, pastor.
Professor Shaw took for his sub
ject 1.-THE Unwelcomed Christ" and in
his discussion brought out. the fact
that Christmas without Christ was
mockery. AS Christ came back to
Ills own people and was rejected, he
said. so is he rejoiced in countless in
stances throughout the world today.
The matter lies with the individual,
the question he faces is, shall or shall
he not welcome Christ?

ELEVATED PLATFORM
FALLS AT CONCERT

Quite a commotioE was caused at
the presentation of 'The Messiah
Sunday afternoon, when the raised
platform on, the stage, suddenly COL
lapsed shortly after the singers were
nicely seated. One of the temporary
joists gave way at one end, and then
followed series of crashes, mingled
with shrieks of the panic stricken
signers. After disentangling legs and
arms from debris. it was found that
the only one injured was Miss Mary
Chidlaw: who suffered badly bruised

The stage was quickly cleared, and

draws attention to the fact that not
all Of the county farm lands were
disposed of at the recent annual
county tax sale and that there still
are some choice pieces Of land to be

The taxes disposed Of at the sale
brought the maximum interest of l.

RUDE Allyn may be guilty of kill
ing man and he may not. History
records many instances where convic-
tons on circumstantial evidence prov
ed grave injustice, the real murder
|er confessing after an innocent man
had been executed or served hong
years in prison. But one thing is
sure, Rube Allyn is a red-blooded
American, who worked with his hands
and his brain for the successful ter
mination of the world war with vie
tory for the American flag. He has
never been weighed in the balance
and found wanting except in inability
to accumulate money. Being an ideal
list he has never stored up treasures
on earth. but who can say that be has
not stored up many treasures in
heaven. Kind of heart, generous TO a
fault, Rube Allyn has ever extended
ia helping hand to those less fortunate
than himself. He has instilled beau
t'ful thoughts in many minds. his
writings have helped thousands. Now
is the time Rube Allyn needs help.

MARTIN FOR CITY MANAGER

Two or three weeks ago we spoke
of the desire of a number Of our citi-
zens that Mr.. John Martin. now in
charge of the street work, be given
the position of city manager, and tho
We have not referred to the matter
since we have heard a great deal of
favorable comment on the PROPOSE
ton. We had hoped that the council
would take some action on the matter
at the last meeting, but it did not do
so. and since that time we have heard
considerable discomfort expressed at
its apparent Indifference to the popu-
lar wish and determination TO main
tain the present slipshod and evasive
Indifference to the charter.
Everywhere one can hear praise of
the good work Mr.. Martin is doing
fol the city. For instance, the eoun-
ell wanted the rock crusher moved
from its useless position to an useful
one. Various parties offered 20 re-
move it for different sums. all more
than the city was able to pay. Mr.
Martin took a bunch of workmen and
with them moved it for a compare
lively small sum. He has tackled
that long-delayed work Of building q
modern sewer in place Of the ditcr
that has been nuisance through the
northwestern part of town and il
rapidly carrying it to completion In

IOCALA NEEDS A
MILITARY COMPANY

Adjutant General c. P. Lowell
writes to the Star, asking it to i'm
press on the young men of Marion
county their duty and honor to their
county and state to organize mill
|tAry company.
There are now left in the states
military quota places for only four
more infantry companies. Ocala
should have one of these.
There is plenty of spirit among our
young men to form a company. The
trouble is, the older men have always
discouraged them. The discourage
ment has mostly come from business
men, who don't like to make the sac
rifice of excusing their employees to
go to drill and the state encampments
This spirit cut Company A down to
la handful, so it was owing only to
the pluck of the boys themselves that
Marion had the honor of having a
volunteer company to respond to the
call of the nation in 1916 and 1917
Honor is a great thing but common
sense is sometimes more useful 1t is
good, common sense to have a strong
military company here to deal with
trouble at home or trouble in the
state. Trouble in the state is trouble
for people at home. Every national
guard company is an addition to the
national insurance against war. And
| if we should have war, it would be
an addition to the guarantee that
America would win.
Let's 60 to work and organize a
good infantry company.
