IT'S A PUBLIC CASE

Office of the Evening Star,
Ocala, Fla, Feb. 8, 1922.
Mr.. J. B. Gaines,
Assistant Attorney General,
State of Florida:
Dear Sir: Your letter received and
contents printed. The Star has so far
expressed no opinion on the matter
of capitol improvement, except that
the officials at Tallahassee should
comply strictly with the law; an opin-
ion which you can hardly dissent from.
Mr.. Hampton, as a friend, fellow
citizen and lawyer engaged in a case
of public interest, has the right to eX-
press himself on said case, and If l
think what he says or writes will be
of interest to the Stars readers | will
make a mistake if | do not give him
reasonable space for his utterances.
You and Mr.. Buford, also friends and
fellow citizens, also have the right to
express yourselves on matters of pub
lie interest, and can always have
space in this paper to do so.
Trying a case in the courts and not
in the newspapers is a fine sentiment
but this is an entirely public matter
and not jury trial, so it is, in my
opinion, entirely proper for the peo-
pie to be kept fully advised of it as
it goes along. Respectfully,
J.H. Benjamin, Editor Star.

railroad men say the main objection
to this is that they already have en-,
gines and cars for service on the
short lines, and it would be consider
able additional expense to buy new
gasoline equipment; also, they have
no reason to believe the gas-drlven
cars would be any better patronized
than the steam trains are now. The
fact is that it is only a matter Of time
before the improved highway and the
auto knocks out the short-run train.

It's the Stars opinion that alliance
of the Woman's Club, Rotary Club
Board of Trade, American Legion and
other Ocala organizations, to work
together for civic improvement, is one
of the best moves made in this city ir

power of the combined organizations
for progress and understanding is q
mild estimate.
