He began with a statement that since he last addressed Congress: "The European 'war has extended its threatening and sinister scope un until til until it has swept into its flame some portion of every quarter of the globe, not excepting our own hemisphere, has altered the whole face of interna interna-tional tional interna-tional affairs, and now presents a prospect of reorganization and recon reconstruction struction reconstruction such as statesmen and peo peoples ples peoples have never been called upon to attempt before."

"But he added, "it was always difficult to maintain such a role with out offense to the pride of the peoples whose freedom of action we sought to protect, and every thoughtful man of affairs much welcome the altered cir circumstances cumstances circumstances of the new day in whose light we now stand, when there is no claim of guardianship or thought of wards, but, instead, a full and honor honorable able honorable association of partners between ourselves and our neighbors, in the interests of all America, North and South."

OCALA KNITTING MILLS SECURES A BIG ORDER Five Thousand Dozen Knitted Suits Wanted by a Chicago Firm Manager Harry Booth of the Ocala Knitting, Mills, received word from Messrs. Clift & Goodrich, of New York, the factory's exclusive agents, that they had been able to secure for the Ocala factory the fine order that they quoted prices on a short time ago in Chicago, and a formal order would be sent for the business in a day or two. This order is for five thousand doz dozen en dozen knitted garments and the factory has five months in which to deliver all of :the 60,000 garments. The order is from John V. Farwell Co., of Chicago,-one of the largest houses in the city. Clift & Goodrich wired the Ocala Knitting Mills for a price on this quantity of goods, giving sizes and grades -wanted for the firm, and the information was wired back to them by Mr. Booth. Mr. Booth's prices were satisfactory and the contract was made without further corres correspondence, pondence, correspondence, so well established is the quality of work of the Ocala mill. The success of this mill has been phenomenal. In a few months it has grown from a dream to a big reality. Today there are six knitting machines running over time, one having been put in during the last two or three days, and four more will be installed within a few weeks by the first of the year, it is hoped. Just as soon as the factory can move in its new home and have the .room needed, these ten machines will run night and day, one man being able to tend them, while they knit enough web during the 24 hours to keep a hundred hands em ployed for ten hours a day. The Star reporter visited the factory yesterday and found forty people employed. It was the busiest little place in the country. Eight or ten men are working on the new home of the mill across on th9 corner -opposite the Ocala Steam Laundry, and the walls are now up to the top of the basement story. This building is being put up by President Giles of the company. It will be con constructed structed constructed of brick, two stories and a basement, 40x80 feet in size and will be finished early in the new year, ready for the factory to move into, where it will have room to handle its growing business. Giles' factory has been able to make the railroad companies and the Inter Interstate state Interstate Commerce Commission give it recognition already, though it could do nothing with the freight rates at first. The factory has been able to secure a cut of more than 50 per cent, on knitted goods to all eastern sea seaboard board seaboard points, the same rate that the Georgia and Alabama factories en enjoy. joy. enjoy. Mr. Booth, who is an exper experienced ienced experienced rate man himself, "showed" the railroad men that he knew what was what, and they had to recognize his contentions. The addition of this substantial building on a corner that has been an eyesore for all time, builds up another of half a dozen such waste places to George Giles' credit, and will put an another other another handsome building on the city's tax books.

So far as heard from, the election Is going quietly in the country dis districts, tricts, districts, from which many on both sides, after voting, have come in to the county seat, which is the most closely contested as well as the most important precinct. The W. C. T. U. early this morning took possession of the corridors down downstairs stairs downstairs of the courthouse, and have held indisputed possession all day long. They have, however, smiles and good wishes for their opponents as well as their adherents.

Several times in the course of the day, Miss Marguer Marguerite ite Marguerite Porter has sung beautifully,-always drawing- entire attention from all in range of her voice. At noon, the ladies had, hot coffee and other good things, which they shared with all, not asking how they were-going, to vote. It had been said that the presence of the ladies would be a sort of a mild intimidation to the wets, but they seem to be bearing up under it, some of them, particularly Ed Carmi Carmi-chael, chael, Carmi-chael, having many pleasant talks with their fair opponents. Everything has-been orderly and goodhumored, and it may be that the presence of the white ribboners has had something to do with it. Sheriff Galloway, with strict non non-partisanship, partisanship, non-partisanship, allows no one to go up upstairs stairs upstairs except the voters and election officers. The voting has been steady ever since the polls opened, and it maybe that by sundown a few will be left over. If any fail to vote, it will not be the fault of the managers, who are spar sparing ing sparing no trouble to get their men to the polls. The white ribbon autos are particularly busy.

Meantime, it intends to sup support port support the men and measures which will promote state-wide prohibition. We do not know what the result of today voting will be. Our dry friends are confident, but they have been con confident fident confident before. But, win or lose, the Star is glad that it has taken its stand, and has no intention or desire to recede from it. We have tried to follow out a clean and liberal policy in this campaign we have avoided bitterness and per personalities sonalities personalities and confined our arguments to principles and events. Of course, we can't make our saloon friends see it that way. We have attacked their business and some of their practices, and when you attack a man'3 business he has to be a first cousin to an angel if he doesn't feel like you are attack attacking ing attacking him. Nevertheless, we are convinced that if most of the saloon men of Ocala were in other business, they would applaud the Star's utterances in regard to the reprehensible prac practices tices practices by which they have sought to keep themselves in business. There is much good in some saloon men, but there is not any good in the saloon business. It is not so bad in some places as it is in others, but at its best it is bad everywhere. Every dollar and every ounce of effort put into it is sheer, unmitigated waste. It helps no man nor woman nor child, and it has brought disease, dis disgrace grace disgrace and death to untold millions. In Ocala, the saloon business has shown to better advantage than in almost any other community in America. And yet, who can point out any good it has done the town, and what hon honest est honest and well-informed person cannot point out harm? Its not only the direct waste and misery caused by the saloon that the Star objects to, but the practices by which the saloon has sought to keep itself in business. More than any other one thing, it has corrupted the . politics of this county and town. Some of the older men are forget forgetting, ting, forgetting, the younger ones never knew, the stress of reconstruction times, brought about by the carpetbaggers (forever a term of reproach in the south) who supported by federal bayonets and taking advantage of the ignorance of our newly freed slaves, brought our state and her sister southern states into a condition of woe and degradation almost as bad as that which today afflicts Belgium. It was only by southern white men standing and -working, and sometimes fighting, together, that the south was I redeemed and enabled to enter on a career by which the two races have lived side by side for almost half a century in comparative peace. What sort of a Hayti should we have had . from the Potomac to the Rio Grande if white men had not been faithful to their race ideals in the late sixties and early seventies? And yet the saloon element, in try trying ing trying to. retain control of Marion coun county, ty, county, and every other county where there, is a large negro population, has to a considerable extent copied the tactics of the carpefbaggers of fifty , years ago. The Star considers it its duty as a democratic paper to oppose and re rebuke buke rebuke any such practices. It sees no reason why they should have been reprehensible and obnoxious to good citizens fifty years ago and excusable today. The status of the negro race is dif different ferent different today from what it was fifty years ago. With time and education, a large per cent of the colored people are able to form their own views on public affairs and are entitled to vote free from interference. But there is yet a considerable number hampered with ignorance, and these, the saloon element has always regarded as it3 peculiar property. It pays their poll taxes, bribes them with money ahd whisky and votes them like sheep. Not only in wet or dry elections, but in every ejection where an ignorant vote can be used by a special interest against the welfare of a whole people is this element used to the detriment of the better class of both races. The Star has plenty of reason to believe that its denunciations both of the liquor traffic and corrupt election practices have the unqualified ap approval proval approval of a large majority of the white people of Marion countyr as well as the approval of that part of the colored epople who are honestly and intelligently trying to better them themselves selves themselves and their race.- Last, but not least, the Star has the approval of it3 51 (Foreign) One year, in advance........ $8.00 Six months, in advance. . . . 4.25 Three months, in advance.... 2.25 One month, in advance....... .80 own conscience.

OLLOWINU Is the message of President Wilson delivered at a Joint session of the senate and house !U the beginning of the Sixty-fourth congress; Gentlemen of the Congress Since I last had the privilege of addressing you on the btate of the Union the war of nation on t he other side of the sea. which had then only begun to disclose Its portentous proportions, has extend ed its threatening and sinister scope until it has swept within its flame some portion of every quarter of the globe, not excepting our own hemi hemisphere, sphere, hemisphere, lias altered the whole face of International affairs, and now presents a prospect of reorganization and re construction such as statesmen and peoples have never been called ujon to attempt before. The president tells how this country practiced neutrality and declares that he hopes that when the time comes for readjustment and recuperation this country will be of infinite service. lie ferring to Central 'and South American problems, the president declares that 1 we should retain unabated the spirit j which has inspired us throughout the whole life of our government and which was so frankly put into words by President Monroe. We have been put to the test in the . case of Mexico, and we have stood the test Whether we have benefited Me.v Ico by the course we have pursued re mains to be seen. Her fortunes are in her own bands. But we have at least proved that we will not take advan tage of her in her distress and under undertake take undertake to impose upon her an order and government of our own choosing. Lib erty Is often a fierce and intractable' thing, to which no boundsKean be set and to which no bounds of a few ; men's choosing ought ever to be set. Every American who has drunk at j the true fountains of principle and tra tradition dition tradition must subscribe without reservation- to the high doctrine of the Vir Virginia ginia Virginia bill of rights, which in the great days in which our government was set j up was everywhere- among us accept accepted ed accepted as the creed of free men. That doc trine is, "That government Is or ought j to be instituted for the common bene- I fit, protection and security of the peo- pie, nation or community;" that "of all the various modes and forms of government, that is the best which is capable of producing the greatest de degree gree degree of happiness and safety and is most effectually secured against the danger of maladministration, and that ' when any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these pur purposes poses purposes a majority of the community hath an Indubitable, inalienable and Indefeasible right to reform, alter or abolish it in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal." We have unhesitatingly ap applied plied applied that heroic principle to the case of Mexico and now hopefully await the rebirth of the troubled republic, which had so much of which to purge ' itslf and so little sympathy from any Outside quarter in the radical but nec necessary essary necessary process We will aid and be befriend' friend' befriend' Mexico, but we will not coerce her, andour course with regard to her ought to be sufficient proof to all Amer America ica America that we seek, no political suzerainty or selfish control. PAN-AMERICANISM HAS NONE OF EMPIRE'S SPIRIT. Economic Adjustments Inevitable With Within in Within the Next Generation. The moral is that the states of Amer America ica America are not hostile rivals, but co-operating friends, and that their grow growing ing growing sense of community of interest, alike In matters political and in mat matters ters matters economic, is likely to give them a new significance as factors in interna international tional international affairs and in the political his his-'tory 'tory his-'tory of the world. It presents them as In a very deep and true sense a unit In world affairs, spiritual partners, standing together because thinking to together, gether, together, quick with common sympathies and commou ideals. Separated, they are subject to all the cross currents of the confused politics of a world of hos tilerivalries: united in spirit and pur purpose, pose, purpose, they cannot be disappointed of their peaceful destiny. This is pan-Americanism. It has none of the spirit of empire in It. It Is the embodiment, the effectual embodiment, of the spirit of law and independence and liberty and mutual service The president calls attention to the meeting in Washington, recently of representatives of the pan-AmerJ.-an republics and sr.ys that economic Ad Adjustment justment Adjustment I Inevitable in the next gen eration. ,t No one' who really comprehends the spirit of the proa t people for whom wi wi-are are wi-are appointed to speak ran. fail to pr ceive that their .. p-tfsion is for peace thelr genius Lest displaye-d its the pnu tlce of the arts of pence.

Conquest and dominion are not in our reckoning or agreeable to our princi pies. But just because we demaud un unmolested molested unmolested development and the undis undisturbed turbed undisturbed government of our own lives upon our own principles of right and liberty, we resent, from whatever quarter It may come, the aggression we ourselves will not practice. We Insist upon security in prosecuting our self chosen lines' of national development. We do more than that. We demand it also for others. We do not confine our enthusiasm' for individual liberty and free national development to 'the Inci Incidents dents Incidents and movements of affairs which affect only ourselves. We feel it wher ever there 13 a people that tries to walk In these difficult paths of independence j and righL From the first we have made common cause With all partisans of liberty on this side the sea and have deemed It as important that our neigh bors should be free from all outside domination as that we ourselves should be;. have set America aside as a whole for the uses of Independent nations and political freemen. Out of such thoughts grow all our policies. We regard war merely as a means of asserting the rights of a peo pie against aggression. And we are as fiercely jealous of coercive or dicta torial power within our own nation as of aggression from without. We will not maintain a standing army ex except cept except for uses which are as necessary in times of peace as in times of war. SUGGESTS BROAD PLAN FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE. Increase Standing Regular Force Four Hundred Thousand Citizen Soldiers. But war has never been a mere mat matter ter matter of men and guns. It Is a thing of disciplined might If our citizens are ever to fight effectively upon a sudden summons, they must know how modern fighting is done, and what to do when the summons comes to render "themselves immediately avail available able available and Immediately effective. And the government must be their servant in this matter, must supply them with the training they need to take care of themselves and of it The military arm of their government which they will not allow to direct them, they may properly use to serve tbem and make their independence secure, and not their own independence merely, but the rights also of those with whom they have made common cause, should they also be put In jeopardy. Thev must be fitted to play the great role in the world, and particularly In this hemisphere, for which they are quali fied by principle and by chastened am bition to play. It 1s with these ideals in mind that the plans of the department of war for more; adequate national defense were conceived which will be laid before you. and which I urge you to sanction and put into effect as soon as they can be properly scrutinized aud discussed They seem to me the essential first steps, and they seem to me for the present sufficient. .. They contemplate an Increase of the standing force of the regular army from its present strength of 5.023 offi officers cers officers and 102.985 enlisted men of all services to a strength. of 7.136 officers and 134.707 enlisted men. or 141,843 all toll, all services, rank and file, by the addition of fifty-two companies of coast artillery, fifteen companies of en gineers, ten regiments of infantry, four regiments of field artillery and four aero squadrons, besides 70 officers re quired for a great variety of. extra service, especially the all Important duty of training the citizen force of which I shall presently speak. 792 non noncommissioned commissioned noncommissioned officers for service In drill, recruiting and the like and the necessary quota of enlisted men for the quartermaster corps, the hospital corps, the ordnance department and orher similar anxiljary services.

By way of making the country ready to assert some part of its real power promptly and upon a larger scale should occasion arise the plan also contemplates supplementing the army by a force of 400.000 disciplined citi citizens, zens, citizens, raised In increments of 133.000 a year throughout a period of three years. This It is proposed to do by a process of enlistment under which the serviceable men of the country would l e asked to bind themselves to serve with the colors for purposes of train ing for short periods throughout three years andtto come to the colors at call at any time throughout an additional 'furlough" period of three years. Thi Thi-force force Thi-force of 400.000 men would be pro vided with personal accouterments as fast as enlisted and 'their equipment for the field made ready to be supplied at any time. Tneywould be assem assembled bled assembled for training at stated intervals at convenient places in association with suitable units of the regular army. Their period of annual training would not necessarily exceed two months in the year. The president says It is up to the patriotic young men of the country to respond to this call. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR -GREATER NAVY. Always Looked to It as Our First and Chief Line of Defense. The program which will be laid be- fore you by the secretary of the navy is similarly conceived. It involves only a shortening of the time within which plans long matured shall be carried out but It does make definite and ex plicit a program which has heretofore been only implicit, held in the minds of. the committees ou naval affairs and disclosed in the debates of the two houses, but nowhere formulated or for mally adopted. It seems to me very clear that It will be to the advantage .of the country for the congress to adopt a comprehensive plan for putting the navy upon a final footing of strength and efficiency and to press that plan to completion within the next five years. We have always looked to the navy of the country as our first and chief line of defense; we have always seen it to be our manifest course of prudence to be strong on the seas. Year byvyear we have been creating a navy which now ranks very high in deed kmong the navies of the maritime nations. We should now definitely de determine termine determine how we shall complete what we have begun and how soon. The program to be laid before you contemplates the construction within five years of ten battleships, six battle cruisers, ten scout cruisers, fifty de destroyers, stroyers, destroyers, fifteen fleet submarines, eighty-five coast submarines, four gun gunboats, boats, gunboats, one hospital ship, two ammunl tion ships, two fuel oil ships and one repair ship. It Is proposed that of this number we shall the first year provide for the construction of two battleships, two battle cruisers, three scout cruisers, fifteen destroyers, five fleet submarines, twenty-five coast submarines, two gun gunboats boats gunboats and one hospital ship; the second year two battleships, one scout cruiser, ten destroyers, four fleet -submarines, fifteen coast submarines,, one gunboat and one fuel oil ship; the third year two battleships, one battle cruiser, two scout "cruisers, five destroyers, two fleet submarines and fifteen coast subma submarines; rines; submarines; the fourth year two battleships, two battle cruisers, two scout cruisers, ten destroyers, two fleet submarines, fifteen coast submarines, one ammuni ammunition tion ammunition ship and one fuel oil ship, and the fifth year two battleships, one bat battle tle battle cruiser, two scout cruisers, ten de destroyers, stroyers, destroyers, two fleet submarines, fifteen coast submarines, one gunboat, one am munition ship and one repair ship. The secretary of the navy is asking also for the immediate addition to the personnel of the navy of 7.500 sailors. 2.500 apprentice seamen and 1,500 ma marines. rines. marines. This increase would be suffi sufficient cient sufficient to care for the ships which are to be completed within the fiscal year 1917 and also for the number of men which must be put in training to man the ships which will te completed early In 1918. It is alo necessary that the number of midshipmen nt the Na val academy at Annapolis should be Increased by at least 300 in order thn.t the force of officers should be more rapidly added to. and authority is ask ed to appoint, for engineering duties only, approved graduates of engineer Ing colleges, and for service in the avi aviation ation aviation corps a certain number of men taken from civil life. If this full program should be carried but we should have built or building in 1921. according to the estimates of sur vival and standards of classification followed by the general board of the i?partuu nt. an eiVe' tive navy cousi.st cousi.st-,u ,u cousi.st-,u ; f 7 buu.t-h:;. -f thv tir t line, : battle -niiers. --" battleships of the viul line. b armored cruisers. 13 scout cruisers. first clas.s cruisers. 3 second Hass -misers. 10 third class cruisers.

There are other great- matters which will be thrust upcu our attention whether" we will 01 not There-is. for example, a very pressing question of trade and shipping involved in this great problem of national adequacy It is necessary for many weighty rca sons of uational efficiency and devel opruent that we should have a great merchant marine. I he great merc hant fleet we once used to make us rich, that great body of sturdy sailors who used to carry our flag into every sea. and who wire the pride and "often the bulwark of the nation, we have almost driven out of esisteuee by inexcusable neglect and indifference and by a hope hopelessly lessly hopelessly blind and provincial policy of so called economic protection. It is high time we repaired our mistake and resumed our commercial independence on the sens. With a view to meeting these press ing necessities of our commerce and availing ourselves at the earliest possi possible ble possible moment of the present unparalleled opportunity of linking the two Ameri Americas cas Americas together in bonds of mutual Inter Interest est Interest and service, an opportunity which may never return again if we miss it now. proposals will be made to the present congress for the purchase or construction of ships to be owned and directed by the government similar to those mado to the last congress, but modified in some essential particulars. I recommend these proposals to you for your prompt acceptance with the more confidence because every month that has elapsed since the former pro proposals posals proposals were made has made the ne necessity cessity necessity for such action more and more manifestly imperative. That need was then foreseen It is now acutely felt and everywhere realized by those for whom trade is waiting, but who can find no conveyance for their goods. 1 am not si much interested in the par particulars ticulars particulars of the program as I am In taking immediate advantage of the great opportunity which awaits us if we will but act in this emergency. In this matter, as in all others, a spirit of commou counrel should prevail, and out of it should come an early solu tion of this pressing problem. SHOULD AGREE ON POLICY IN THE PHILIPPINES. Recommends Early Adoption of Meas Measures ures Measures Giving Them Fuller Justice. The president recommends the early adoption of bills for the alteration and reform of the government of the Phil ippines and for rendering fuller polit ical justice to the people of Porto Rico, which were submitted to the Sixty third congress The president refers to the increased cost of carrying out the plans for the armed forces of the nation" aud tells of the fiscal problems confronting the government On the 30th of June last there was an available balance In the general fund of the treasury of $104,170,105.78 The total estimated receipts for the" year 1910.. on -the assumption that the emergency revenue measure passed by the last congress will not be extended beyond its present limit the 31st of December, 1915, and that the present duty of 1 cent per pound on sugar will kbe discontinued after the 1st of May. 1910. will be $070,305,500. The balance of June last and these estimated rev enues come therefore to a grand total of $774,535,005.78. The total estimated disbursements for the present fiscal year, including twenty-five millions for the Panama canal. twelvemillions for probable deficiency appropriations and $50,000 for miscellaneous debt redemp tions. will be S753.S91.000. and the bal anee in the general fund of the treas ury will be reduced to $20,044,005.78. The emergency revenue act If contin continued ued continued beyond its present time limitation would produce during the half year then remaining about forty-one mil lions. The duty of 1 cent per pound on sugar if continued would produce during the tw6 months of the fifccal year remaining after the 1st of May about fifteen millions. These two sums, amounting together to fifty-six mil lions, if added to the revenues of the second half of the fiscal year would yield the treasury at the end of the year an available balance of $70,044. 005.78. The additional revenues required to carry out the program of military and naval preparation of which I have spoken would, as at present estimated be for the fiscal year 1917 $93,800,000 Those fisrures. taken with the figures for the present fiscal year which I have already jriven. disclose our finan cial problem for the year 1917 As snming that the taxes imposed by the emergency revenue act and the pres ent duty on sugar are to be disconttn ued and that the balance at the close of the present fiscal year will be only $20.G44.005.78. that the disbursements for the Panama canal will again be about $25.000.(X)0 and that the add! tional expenditures for the army and navy are authorized by the congress the deficit in the general fund of the treasury on the 3Cth of June. 1917 will be nearly $235,000,000. To this sum at Iei?t $50,000,000 should be add ed to represent a safe working balance for the trpnsury and $12,000,000 to In elude the usual deficiency estimates In 1917. and these additions would make a total deficii of some f297.O0O.00O. If the present t:ixe should be continued throughout this year and the next however, there would be a balance In the treasury of sov.ie $70.5O).t:x at the end of the present fiscal year and a deficit at the end of the next year of only some CoiMWMXKj. or. reckomug in $02.000.0a) for deficiency appropria tions and a safe treasury balance at the end of the year. .1 total deficit of some $112.00O.00t. The obvious moral of the figures i that it is a plain coun koI of prudence to continue all of the jresent taxes or their equivalents and confine ourselves to the problem of providing $112,000,000 of new revenue rather than $297,000,000. How shall we obtain the new rev revenue? enue? revenue? We are frequently reminded that there are many millions of bonds which the treasury is authorized under existing law to sell to reimburse the sums paid out of current revenues for the construction of the Panama canal, and it is true that bonds for the amount of $222,432,000 are now avail available able available for that purpose. Prior to 1913 $138,000,000 of these bonds had ac actually tually actually been sold to recoup the expendi expenditures tures expenditures at the isthmus, and now con constitute stitute constitute a considerable Item of the pub public lic public debt But I for one do not believe that the people of this country approve of postponing the payment of tiieir bills. Borrowing money is shortsight shortsighted ed shortsighted finance. It can be justified only when permanent things are to be ac accomplished complished accomplished which many generations will certainly benefit by and which it seems hardly fair that a single genera generation tion generation should pay for. The objects we are now proposing to spend money for cannot be so classified, except In the sense that everything wisely done may be said to be done in the interest of posterity as well as In our own. It seems to me a clear dictate of pru prudent dent prudent statesmanship and frank finance that in what we are now, I hope, about to undertake we should pay as we go. The people of the country are entitled to know just what burdens of taxation they are to carry and to know from the outset now. The fiew bills should be paid by internal taxation. NATION'S SECRET FOES SHOULD BE CRUSHED. Gravest Danger to Country Comes From Within Our Own Borders. The president says that the precise reckonings of the problem to be met are set forth in the report of the secre secretary tary secretary of the treasury. I have spoken to you today, gentle gentlemen, men, gentlemen, upon a single theme, the thor thorough ough thorough preparation of the nation to care for its own security and to make sure of entire freedonl to play the Impar Impartial tial Impartial role In this hemisphere and in the world which we ail believe to have been providentially assigned to it I have bad in my mind no thought of any Immediate or particular danger arising out of our relations with other nations.

I am sorry to say that the gravest threats against our national peace and safety have been uttsred within our own borders. There are citizens of the United States, I blush to admit born under other flags, but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and opportunity of Amer America, ica, America, who have poured the poison of dis disloyalty loyalty disloyalty Into the very arteries of our national life. Who have sought to bring the authority and good name of our government into contempt to destroy our Industries wherever they thought it effective for their vindictive pur purposes poses purposes to strike at them and to debase our politics to the uses of foreign In Intrigue. trigue. Intrigue. Their number Is not great as compared with the whole number of those sturdy hosts by which our na nation tion nation has been enriched In recent gen generations erations generations out of virile foreign stocks, but it is great enough to have brought deep disgrace upon us and to have made it necessary that we should promptly make use of processes of law by which we may be purged of their corrupt distempers. America never witnessed anything like this before. It never dreamed it possible that men sworn into its own citizenship, men drawn ot of great free stocks such as supplied some of the best and strongest elements of that little, but bow heroic, nation that in a high day of old staked its very life to free Itself from every entanglement that had darkened the fortunes of the older nations and set up a new stand ard here that men of such origins and such free choices of allegiance would ever turn In malign reaction against the government and people who had welcomed and nurtured tbem and seek to make this proud country once more a hotbed of European passion. A lit tle while ago such a thing would have seemed incredible." Because It was in incredible credible incredible we made no preparation for It We would have been almost ashamed to prepare for It as if we were suspicious of ourselves, our own comrades and neighbors! But the ugly and incredible thing has actually come about and we are without adequate federal laws to deal with it I urge you to enact such laws at the earliest possible moment and feel that In doing so I am urging you to do nothing less than save the honor and self respect of the nation. Such creatures of pas sion, disloyalty and anarchy must be crushed out They are not many, but they are Infinitely malignant and the band of jour power should close over them at Once. They have formed plot" to destroy property, they have entered into conspiracies against the neutrality of the government they have sought to pry into every confidential trans transaction action transaction of the government in order to serve interests alien to our own. It is possible to deal with these things very effectually. I need not suggest the terms In which they may be dealt with. I wish that it could be said that only a few men. misled by mistaken senti sentiments ments sentiments of allegiance to the governments under which they were born, had been guilty of disturbing the self possession and misrepresenting the temper and principles of the country during these days of terrible-war, when -It would seem that every man who was truly an American would instinctively make it his duty and his pride to keep the scales of judgment even and prove him himself self himself a partisan of no nation but his own. But it cannot There are some men among us and many resident abroad who, though born and bred in the United States and calling them themselves selves themselves Americans, have so forgotten themselves and their honor as citizens as to put their passionate sympathy with one or the other side In the great European conflict above their regard for the peace and dignity of the United States. They also preach and practice disloyalty. No laws', 1 suppose, can reach corruptions of the mind and heart, but I should not speak of others without also speaking of these and ex expressing pressing expressing the even deeper humiliation and scorn which every self possessed and thoughtfully patriotic American must feel when he thinks of them and of the discredit they are daily bringing upon us. What is more important Is that the industries and resources of the country should be available and ready for mobilization. It is the more Impera Imperatively tively Imperatively necessary, therefore, that we should promptly devise means for do doing ing doing what we have not yet done that, we should give intelligent federal aid and stimulation to Industrial and voca vocational tional vocational education, as we have long done in the large field of our agricultural Industry; that at the same time that we safeguard and conserve the natural resources of the country we should put them at the disposal of those who will use them promptly and Intelli Intelligently, gently, Intelligently, as was sought to be done In the admirable bills submitted to the last congress from Its committees on the public lands, bills which I earnest earnestly ly earnestly recommend in principle to your con consideration; sideration; consideration; that we "should put into early operation some provision for rural credits which will add to the ex extensive tensive extensive .borrowing facilities already afforded the farmer by the reserve bank act adequate instrumentalities by which long credits may be obtained on land mortgages and that we should study more carefully than they have hitherto been studied the right adapta tion of our economic arrangements to changing conditions.

REGULATIONS TO MEET RAILROAD PROBLEM. Needed to Make Lines More Useful Servants of Country. In the meantime may I make this suggestion? The transportation prob problem lem problem Is an exceedingly serious and pressing one In this country. There has from time to time of late been rea reason son reason to fear that our railroads would not much longer be able to cope with it successfully, as at present equipped and co-ordinated.

No one, I am sure, would wish to take any backward step. The regula regulation tion regulation of the railways of the country by federal commission has had admirable result and has fully justified the hopes and expectations of those by whom the policy of regulation was originally proposed.

It seems to me that it might be the part of wisdom, therefore, before further legislation In this field Is attempted, to look at the whole problem of co-ordination and efficiency in the full light of a fresh assessment of circumstance and opinion, as a guide to dealing with the several parts of it For what we are seeking now. what In my mind is the single thought of this message.

SEE TEE FARM on the Silver Springs road which furnishes the Merchant's Cafe every day with fresh vegetables, milk and eggs. tf. Nearly a hundred years ago, when New York city was wbut would now i be considered a small town, a young man stood on a dock in the East river waiting for the arrival of a sailship that was coming up the buy. When i the ship arrived, was docked and the dozen passengers that bad come from England on her began to descend the gangplank the young man mentioned. scrutinizing each person, finally pointed to a woman with a patch over her left eye and called upon a constable stand standing ing standing beside him to arrest her. She was taken to the headquarters of the watch. where she proved to be a man. Then a young woman who stood by threw her arms about the man who had caus ed the arrest and silently wept tears of reliefwith her head on his shoulder. Ten years before, at seventeen, she had married Abel Williams, two years her senior, a clerk in the counting room of Edward Hooper, a china merchant. They were very happy, and a little girl was born to them. One evening when the young' husband was playing with his little daughter several men entered and arrested him on a charge of em bezzling money froci his employer. For some time Williams was at a loss lo understand why he. conscious of be ing perfectly innocent, had been charg ed with crime. Then, remembering cer tain suspicious circumstances connect ed with a fellow clerk named Skinner. be came to the conclusion that Skinner was the defaulter and had laid his pec ulations at Williams floor. Abel's books were brought into court at his trial and showed conclusively that some one had been covering up a loss of about $20,000. He was not an ex expert pert expert accountant and floundered hope hopelessly lessly hopelessly In his defense. He was convict ed and sentenced to five years impris onment. During his incarceration his wife stood by him. and when he stepped from prison she took him home, and the two began to plan for his vindica vindication. tion. vindication. Unfortunately an investigation would cost money. Besides, there was no clew, nor were there in those days detectives, as there are now. After considering the matter for some time they gave up hope of removing the stigma. Abel, having been a criminal, could not secure a position and was obliged to make a living by working at home. He was very handy with a knife and carved out trinkets that his wife sold for him. One difficulty m the way of his vin dication was that Skinner had left New York, and no one knew where he had gone. His disappearance connrmed Abel's suspicion that he was the real criminal and had covered up his own defalcation through the books kept by Abel. A criminal In one case is likely to be a criminal in other cases, and had Skinner remained in New York possibly he might have got Into trou trouble ble trouble that would have explained Abel's ruin. But Abel was not sure that Skin ner was guilty. While In prison one of the inmates whose cell was directly over Abel's ap pealed to him to assist him in making an escape. The man cut a hole in the floor and let himself down into Abels cell. Abel permitted him to hide un under der under his cot. Abel, who was employed on the prison books and accorded spe special cial special privileges, also consented that the man should take advantage of them. He thus escaped, and Abel lost his job on -the books and was relegated to a cell. ... One day when Abel was at work making a toy ship a man walked in and stood looking at him. "You don't remember me, he said. I'm the man you helped to escape from prison. I've come to pay yon for what, you did and suffered for me. I don't know whether you are a bad un or a good un and don't care. I only know that I'm bad. A pal of znin6 who has got some valuable Jewels that he and I took together on the other side of the big water is goin to beat me out o' my share. I can fix it so that he'll have to divide with you. Abel told the man that he would not receive stolen goods. "Well, then." continued the Jailbird, "I can fix it this way: There's a big re ward offered for the property. You're welcome to it" Abel readily assented to this, and the man informed him that the party was bringing the Jewels from Paris, where they had been stolen, to dispose of them in America. He was a one eyed man and readily identified. He would rrive on a certain day and Abel could turn him over to the authorities and secure the reward. To return to the party who had Just discovered that the person arrested was a man. Mrs. Williams recognized Skinner. He was much changed from what he had been and had lost an eye. The fact that Abel was or would be Vindicated by the arrest was a re relief lief relief to the poor woman which caused a complete relaxation. For a few mo ments she wept on her husband's shoulder, then, turning to the prisoner, said: "Skinner. The jewels were found concealed in a wisr worn by the criminal, and Abel received a reward of $10,000. He at once mpioved an expert accountant to i'tt over the books he was accused if lnmerinir with, and it" was found rht the shortage had been dexterous ly trrnsfcrrfHl from the books kept by s:-i : er to those of Abel.

BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS (Continued from First Page) At 3:30 there had been over six hundred votes polled in the Ocala pre precinct. cinct. precinct. It is, of course, impossible to tell how they all voted, but from the nearest guesses it was believed the two tickets were running neck and neck. County Clerk Nugent thinks Ocala will be wet by about 70 votes. He is a dry man, and gives the wets a bet ter estimate than they make for themselves. The wets do not seem to be overly confident, and one of their leaders said this afternoon their only hope was in a contest.

Making Your Christ Christmas mas Christmas Purchases Today Travels of a Chimne Swift. On June 7. 1911. an adult chimney swift fluttered down a chimney Into tbe study of Ernest Harold Baynes in Jleriden. N. II., and was promptly banded and released. The band was of the old style and bore the number 6326. At 8 o'clock p. m. on June 15, 1912, two chimney swifts flew from tbe chimney into the same room of Mr. Baynes house where the bird had been caught a year and eight days before. And lo! when these birds were.'fakwn in hand and examined one of them proved to be C32G. Remarkable as this may seem, this diminutive creature, less than six inches in length, had traveled hundreds of miles to Central America or else where in the tropics where he spent the winter and then had made the long re return turn return journey at the approach of sum mer and found again the chimney of his choice In a village in faroff New Hampshire. And throughout his jour neying tbe little aluminum ring had traveled with him and had produced not the least effect on the bird's leg. One wonders if the swift lived al always ways always in the same hollow tree in South America. New York Post. A Youthful Speculator. Senator John Sherman made his first speculation when he was a boy of six sixteen, teen, sixteen, and It turned out badly. At the age of fourteen he was working for the 'Muskingum Improvement company at $25 a month and at the age of sixteen was superintendent of an Important part of the work and had been ad advanced vanced advanced to $40. During the winter he was idle, as the canal was closed. It was at this time that he attempted his' speculation. Salt was very low on the Muskingum river and very high at Cin cinnati So John bought a lot of salt, loaded it on a scow and started it down the river. All went well until within one day's float of the Ohio river, when the thermometer went down to zero, and the scow remained right there for two long months. Everybody hShl a great laugh over the youthful specula tor, but he lived long enough to return the laugh with interest. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. . The Horse Chestnut. Why the horse chestnut Is so called is a debatable point, but at least one possible explanation of the name may be found in a peculiar characteristic or the tree. lr. when it is mature, a leaf be broken off cleanly at the point where its stem joins the branch. It will be discovered that the base of the stem is the exact shape of a horse's hoof, and if one looks further one will see plainly marked upon tb "hoof' the nail marks of the horse's shoe. The similitude of hoof and nails Is at least remarkable. It might be supposed, in reference to the name of this tree, that horses were Tond of the fruit, but one believes that this is not the case. nor does any other creature, except perhaps the rat or mouse. attempt to eat this natural and abundant product "Curing" Married Couples. If every wife who S trying to cure her husband and every husband who Is trying to cure his wife would stop the operation and all the husbands would devote their energies tb curing themselves and all the wives devote their energies to curing themselves the homes would be a great deal happier than they are today. There are scold Ing wives who are bending all of their energies to the task of curing their husbands of habits far less detrimental to the happiness of the home than the habit of scolding. There are husbands who have set themselves the task' of curing their wives of Imperfections of so much less consequence than the in flrmities of character and temper: pos sessed;by the husband himself. Edin burgh Scotsman. Unappreciated Wit. Sir Henry Wotton. for twenty years England's ambassador to the court of Venice, discovered, to his sorrow, that It is not always wise to be witty, even in so simple a matter as writing in an autograph album Once when visiting at the house of a friend his host brought out the visitors' book and requested; Sir Henry to Inscribe his name in it together with some appropriate sent! ment Willing to oblige and wishing to say something at once neat witty and wise, he wrote the following and appended his name to It; "An ambas sador is an honest man. sent abroad to He for his country."

How They Are Used and How They Are Served In Public Places. The use of chopsticks is general In Japan, except among the richer class es, who have adopted European knives and forks, and. to some extent, the European cuisine. Small bowls of chi na or lacquered wood are the usual table equipment. After the various solid portions of the food have been lifted to the mouth with chopsticks thel liquid remaining is sipped from the bowl. In the case office, which would be tedious to pick up grain by grain, the bowl is often raised to the mouth and the rice shoveled or pushed in wjth the chopsticks. It is also customary to pour a little tea into the rice bowl aft er it ha been nearly emptied, and in this way the few remaining grains of rice are washed down as the tea is drunk. At public places the chopsticks at each meal must be new. This Is Indi cated by the fact that the chopsticks are made from one piece of wood and are left joined together, as. were matches at one time In the United States. These new chopsticks are in cased in a thin paper envelope, sealed at the end, and bearing Japanese char characters acters characters advertising either the hotel or some firm that has furnished them free to the proprietor for the sake of the publicity thus gained. Toothpicks, which are freely used by all Japanese at meals, are also inclosed In envelopes that frequently bear advertising mat matter. ter. matter. New York Time. EXPLOSIVES OF WARFARE To a Great Extent They Are a Develop ment of Fireworks. War is a wholesale fireworks cele bration. A giant firecracker Is really a dangerous bomb, and rifle grenades are but small rockets, carrying high explosives and fired from rifles. Great fort destroying projectiles look simply like gigantic rockets. The first magazine gun was a Ro man candle. The first projectile pro pelled by an explosive was a rocket. The first shrapnel was a bomb dis discharging charging discharging luminous stars Instead of bul lets. Modern warfare Is, so to speak, a development of Fourth of July ideas. However, gunpowder the first ex plosivewas itself mere play stuff for at least a thousand years before any body thought of using It for, war pur poses. It was commonly employed in China for fireworks and crackers dur ing the earliest centuries of the Chris tian era. '' Tbe bombs nowadays drop ped by military aviators are children's torpedoes magnified ; to make them deadly.- - Really an incendiary bomb was the famous "Greek fire" of the crusaders. It has been said that shrapnel is a modified fireworks bomb. It has the form of a cylinder, which, at a dis tance from the gun muzzle suitably timed by a fuse, blows Its own head off, throwing out 250 or more lead bul lets that travel on their own account with a velocity of 400 feet a second.' Philadeihpia Record. Cemeteries Where Women Gossip. Friday, the Sabbath of the Moslems. when all true believers of the mascu line gender make a point of going to church, their. wives, sisters and daugh ters resort to, the cemeteries and wail for the dead. But all their time is not spent in weeping, and sorrow la not the only emotion they display on these oe casions. They ..take with them bunches and garlands of flowers and decorate the graves of their relatives and pray and weep over the dead for a time. Then when this pious duty Is perform ed they gather in little groups and have a good time gossiping about Ihe living Thus the day of mourning Is very popu lar among the Moslem women. It gives them almost the only opportunity they have of cultivating the acquaintance of their neighbors. Crowns by Wholesale It Is told of one of the ancient kings of Egypt that his coronation proces sion occupied a whole day in passing through the city of Alexandria and that 3.200 crowns of gold were carried by the servants. One crown was three feet In height and twenty-four feet In circumference. There were also car rled In the procession sixty-four suits of golden armor, two boots of gold. four and a half feet in length; twelve golden basins, ten large vases of per fumes for the baths, twelve ewers, fifty dishes and a large number of ta tables bles tables all of gold. Twenty-three of the 3500 crowns were valued at 334,400. and It Is not surprising that the pro procession cession procession was guarded by 90.000 soldiers. St. James Gazette. Let Her In on This.
