SUMMERTIME IN FLORIDA
Manufacturers RecordD

Some time ago while passing along
a country road I saw a man blowing
"a field surrounded by swamps, and as
his work reminded me of some early
days of blowing when as a Virginia
boy l lived on farm, stopped and
chatted with him, and found him SO
enthusiastic about the state that I
asked him where he came from. He
gave me the name of small town in
Ohio and said he had been foreman of
a machine manufacturing company
which is one of the biggest makers of
agricultural implements in the coun-
try. Asking him how he liked Florida,
he said: 81 feel that never lived be-

the big plant in which I was engaged
for years | never knew the joy of the
kind of life which l have been getting

question as to how the liked the sum-
mer weather, he said that he consider
ed the preceding summer one of the
best that he had ever spent in his
life; much cooler and more delightful
in every way than he had found in
Ohio.

York; and he, too, grew so enthusiast

through the summer as we'll as thru
the winter. that he said that there was
only one difficulty ahead, and that was
when the people of the country at
large came to realize the advantages
of Florida they would crowd here in
such numbers that the state would be

EDITOR COLLENS HAS
BROKEN THE ICE

For four weeks, the Star has asked
Marion county democrats to contrl-
butte money to the National Executive
Committee for use in the campaign.
The Star has intended to contribute
its mite. The Star has always opened
every such subscription itself, but
this year it decided to pass the honor
to somebody else. It began to think
it was going to send its little contri-
button in alone. But Saturday it re-
ceived the following letter from Edi-
tor Collens of the Summerfield Chron-
ic!e:
"The Summerfeld Chronicle, al
though authorized to take contribu-
tions for the National Democratic
Committee to defray its campaign
expenses, cannot devote the space re-
quired for the advertisement, so we
send to the Ocala Star our pittance of
81 and ask every true and loyal demo-
crat in Marion county to call or send
to the Star and cover our dollar with
like amount, or more from demo-
Gratis financially more able"
With the letter was check for a
dollar Editor Collens not only earns
his dollars by the sweat of his brow,
but he earns them in pain, for it has
been many years since he was a well
man. He has broken the ice. Ice is
out of place in the democratic party
of Marion county. Come along all of
you and help Brother Collens melt
it out.
| T. D. Lancaster Jr, our cookbook
ing and efficient young county clerk

that comes his way is tagged before il

USELESS REMEDIES
Lakeland Advertiser)

A symposium on "gun-toting" in
the latest Literary Digest brings to
light some interesting information re-
garding social conditions in this
country. The number of murders
committed in America during last year
is estimated at $500. There is a 1900
per cent increase in burglaries. Other
criminal statistics are equally start
ling. The crime wave, whose activi-
ties attracted excited comment more
than a year ago, is still moving ahead
with increasing momentum.
This is far from encouraging, and
still farther is the class of remedies
suggested. Reformers seem utterly
unable to divorce themselves from the
fetishism which holds the instrument
rather than the man himself primarily
responsible for the crime. Their idea
of making the world better is to de-
prive the criminally inclined of all
possible means of wrong doing.
| If murder is to be forestalled, abol-
ish the pistol. If burglaries are to be
prevented, put ban on the Jimmy. If
sobriety is to be enforced, make al
cohol illegal.
The trouble with this method of
treatment is, not only that it is child
ish and inane, but it never gets any
where. The first murder was COM
mitted long before there We're any
guns in use Theft and robbery, even
burglary, were prevalent back in the
days when nobody had ever heard of
the burglars exit" Old Noah made a
donkey of himself with home brew
three thousand years before the
eighteenth amendment was passed.
Some remedy for the increasing
criminality of the country must be
found, but the solution must go deeper
than the surface. The cause must be
discovered and removed. But until
our conception of cause and effect pro.
ceeds beyond the notion of mere force
prohibition and deprivation, we car
not even begin an Intelligent investi
cation of the problem.

THE WAR CLOUD
IN THE NEAR EAST

Fearful are the stories of blood
shed, rape and burning that come
from Asia Minor, where the Turk is
reported to be romping joyfully in his
ancient roll of the devil without a
tail
It will be wise in Americans to dis
count these stories from fifty to
seventy-five per cent. Among other
important implements of war, the
Turks lack press agent. The stories
about them come mostly from their
enemies, who differ from the Turks
principally in being inferior to them
in fighting ability.
No doubt the atrocities are fearful.
The eastern peoples have always made
war in the German fashion. None
have been any worse than the Chill
dren of Israel-for details read the
conquest of Canaan in the Old Tesla
ment, vand a few centuries later the
treatment handed by King David to
his enemies. And so it has come
down thru the centuries. and the adj
vent of Christianity did not moderate
the savagery of war. The only time
in history when Asia Minor has en-,
joyed peace and good government was
whenN the pagan Romans made it {
province of their empire and COMPEL
