promoted by untrammeled debate
upon public questions.
The man who was big enough to
dominate national democracy for
eight years, and who had twice led
the vanguard of its hosts in defeat,
was thus found to lay aside all per-
sona1 pride and egotism in order that
the good of his party and his nation
could be promoted by what of truth
the wrath of the senator from Vir-
ginia might bring forth.
1t is a great honor to any man to
sit in the senate of the United States
of America; the biggest and the best
are none too big, or too good, to cope
with its vast responsibilities. There
the greatest and the purest may not
hope to gain the approval of all fac
tions and all classes, but he should
command the respect of the world );
and, despite all popular clamor, be
content to go to his death fighting
under the glorious standards of truth.
| believe Mr. Bryan has the inter
ests of rural people too much at heart
to tolerate legal recognition of spe-
cial advantages to union labor, for he
we'll knows that no compensating adj
vantages can be made available to
nearly fifty millions of our rural peo-
pie.
In behalf Of our farmers and rural
producers, l look to Mr.. Bryan for
justice, not favor; and let us hope
that, as junior senator from Florida,
he may make every citizen proud of
the state and the nation as he sits in
that august body, where none will
surpass him in honor, in independ-
ence and in intellect.
If any should deny him rank
among the best of his fellows in that
body, none can be found to rate him
among the weakest

Bryan!

Did any of you know the classic
cOuntenance and the imperious dom
nance of the Lame Lion of Virginia,
the late John w. Daniel?
Few, indeed. were those who could
over-match him in oratory or debate.
In pouring out upon his political op-
ponents the unmeasured vitriol of
his wrath, he was almost. without a
peer in his day.
In the St Louis convention, at
which Judge Parker was nominated
for the presidency, it happened that
Ben Tillman was chairman of the
committee to draft the national DEM
ocratic platform, and that Daniel and
Bryan sat in that committee. Bryan
was there contending with great vigor
for certain things which Daniel op-
posed, and running debate between
them ensued; finally, Daniel got the
floor and with withering scorn open
ed up the vials of his wrath on Bry-
an, and reproached the latter with
having twice wrecked the democrat
ic party merely to crafty personal
ambition. Daniels remarks became
so bitter that the chairman interrupt
ed his torrents of personal denuncia-
tion and called him to order; at
which point Bryan rose calmly from
his seat and said: "Mr. Chairman, I
a-k that the gentleman from Virginia
be permitted to continue his re-
marks"
Since tha- day l have had a warm
spot in my heart for the Hon. w. ].
Bryan, He is a good sport; and l
extend him my friendship and greet
ing, as a citizen of Florida
Thus / was made to know that
Bryan was a big man and sincere in
his purposes, and anxious that free
discussion of all public questions be
INDUCED, with utter disregard of his
individual feelings; that no pride of
opinicn surmounted his love for his
country. whose interests are ever

PEDDL|NG MOONSH|NE A
HAZARDOUS OCCUPATION
"A Sober Nation Calculated to Develop Great
Improvement in Physical as Well as Mental
Ability in The Coming Generations

Just before he left Orlando for his
home in Boston Mr. J. B. Lewis fur
nished the following information of
the progress of prohibition obtained
from official records.
AS time goes on it will become
more and more hazardess to snug
gle contraband liquors and the dis
tillation of ''moonshine' will fall under
the ban of condemnation and will
ing on will know nothing of the habit
of social drinking as was so long the
custom during the reign of the side
board decanter'' and the open saloon, -
and in the years to come we shall have
a sober nation which will immensely
improve the race.
But to Mr.. Lewis letter which was
written to the Orlando Sentinel.
The letter reads:
Editor Sentinel: The eighteenth
amendment to the constitution went
into force January 16, 1920. The
liquor forces claim that it has been
failure. Let us examine the facts,
and answer the question, Can prohi-
bition be enforced? Do the results
of prohibition justify the continuation
of the policy? The facts here set out
have been very carefully verified and
are taken from the official records.
In spite of the organized effort to
| defy this law, the federal enforcement
/ department is making headway in
checking law violations. The amount
| expended in enforcement last year
was $6,250,000. The fines, taxes, and
other penalties amount to over $685.
100000. During the year 29,114 Grim
inal cases were commenced, 1850
offenders pleaded guilty, 1882 were
convicted, and s765 were acquitted
What has been the effect of pro-
hibition on crime, alcoholism, bank de-
posits, employment and home life?
Let the facts speak for themselves.
Murders decreased 81 per cent, burg
laries 10 per cent, and robberies
per cent in Chicago, according to the
report of Director Chamberlain of the
Chicago crime commission. In Bos-
ton, in 1917, the last year of unre-
stricted license, the arrests for
drunkenness were 1887. In 1921,
under prohibition, 30,409 In the state

The citrus fruit crop is by far the
largest single crop produced in Ma

most widely known as a general farm

located in the northern part on Or

of the Ocklawaha river, and along
the river, including a new develop

Lake Bryant.

Now which city is the best located
for the capital?
Unquestionably Jacksonville.
Jacksonville is the most accessible
city in Florida, and twice the size of
the next largest city
BUT JACKSONVILLE CANNOT
GET 1T.
Even when Jacksonville tried to Sc
cure it before, the Times Union op-
posed its own city vigorously as did
the politicians who are blindly led by
this newspaper.
Jacksonville would not be united on
any proposition. If Christ came to
Jacksonville and stopped out in
Springfield, Riverside would cut up.l'
If the whole state of Florida should
offer Jacksonville the capital there
would be such fight against loca-
tion that some fellow would go to the
courts with an injunction. It's just
Jacksonville's way. The people have
never been unanimous on anything.
So Jacksonville is not in the capital
removal fight.
Then what is the next best thing?
Why Ocala Of course.
ocala is a beautiful city and the
location is ideal. The people are
most hospitable and nothing can be
charged against 0cala except that
many years ago. permitted Tom Wat
son and his gang TO invade it and
hold Populist convention there. and
give birth to the Populist or 'Ocala
Platform
But Ocala wasn't 10 blame and if
Orlando and other cities want the
capital removed they viii quietly lay
aside selfishness and center on Ocala.
If Orlando and Ocala both get in
to the fight then Tallahassee will
keep it.-Jacksonville Observer.

The schools participating were Dun
Mellon, Anthony, Ocala, Citra and
Mcintosh.
The day was opened by perform
ances by the Ocala primary and
grammar schools. These were gym
nastic exercises under the direction
Of Miss Eastman The uniformity
and grace with which they were done
is result of much beneficial rtain-
ing. The fourth grade excelIed in
this department. Pupils of the fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth grades had
meet of their own. The eighth
grade had the highest number of
points with George Jordan the star,
scoring 22 IA points. Guyula Chan
dler led the girls with 13 ga points.
The high school events attracted
the most interest. The individual
stars were Harrington Hall of Ocala,
who copped five firsts and second
place for total of % points, and Es-
telle Wilkes, also of Ocala, with five
firsts, or 25 points.
Ocala ran off with many of the
points. but was closely pressed in all
events. The score follows: Ocala. 141;
Dunnellon, 80; Mcintosh, II; Antho-
ny, II; Citra, 1.

under prohibition, 56,932. Four pris-
ons have been closed, viz: Lowell,
Newburyport, Taunton and Fitchburg;
also the Ipswich house of correction.
In Milwaukee, the city which made
beer famous, the arrests for drunken
ness decreased so per cent. Governor
Brown, of New Hampshire reported in
July, 1921, that there had been but
43 jail inmates in that state since
December, 1920.
The wet city of New York, under
license in 1916, had 6S7 death from
alcoholism; in 1917, $50; in 1920, under
prohibition, 9S. DR.. Horatio NJ Pol
lock, statistician of the state hospital
commission of New York, said in a
recent article that within two years
after the 18th amendment became
operative there are no state hospitals

States.
Labor conditions.-245 of 526 Ia
bor leaders interrogated by the Liter
ary Digest, March, 1920, as to whether
prohibition had been a benefit to the
workingmen and their families, re-
piled, Yes" many emphatically. The
commissioner of banks of Massachu-
setts reports that the increase in de-
posits in 1920 were over ninety-two
million dollars. the largest increase
ever made. The report of Superin-
tendent Scott of Ohio, June so. 1921,
shows a gain of nearly 100000. 900 in
savings deposits in that year. Not
withstanding business depression and
unemployment, returns from 623 saw
ings banks, located in New England
and the Eastern states show a gain
of $338,336,OO0 in the deposits, and
an increase in the number of deposit
ors of 1898 during the fiscal year.
