Mr.. Tnrnlea's Remedy.

Mr.. w. ID. Turnkey, formerly Of this
city, thinks he has fouId panacea
for the labor troubles. The plan he
proposes is briefly stated as follows:
He says:
Let congress appoint committee with powers
TO summon, as expsrts, prominent men both
sides of the controversy, and from them gather
such data will enable them to arrange SEIZED
ue of wages for all kinds Of laborers usually
concerned in strikes, and then publish same as
an authoritative settlement of the question:
Your space, perhaps, may not allow full discus
sion Of the terms of this proposition, and there
fore shall not attempt it here simply desire
to say that the worl; of such a committee as is
here proposed would not be nearly so burden
some as the labor involved in arranging a tariff
sehednle. 1t is equally constitutional and would
as surely settle wages as the postage on a letter
was settled by the general issue Of stamps in
1877 It would also have very decidedly quiet
ing effect upon labor aeitators. In brief, il
would take out of the labor problem one element
Of uncertainty, broughtsabout by greed OH one
side aud the exigeneies of competition on the
other, and would leave each labor contract sim
ply dependent upon the mutual satisfaction of
the parties thereto with each other the question
Of pay having already been settled for them.
There would be no temptation to the employer
to discharge faithful servant in order to get
cheaper one, would the laborer care to leave
his employer, there being no chance to get high
er wages elsewhere. To illustrate, locomotive
engineer who had stood an examination and had
his government certificate, could get place any
where he could find a vacancy and hold it so
long as he remained faithful

and we'll he maintained his right to it
though Will Coins and w. A. Cason
made manly second and third fight

medal on the lapel of Mr.. Bernhardt's

Tot Editor of the Banner:
In the issue of the Capitol of the
4th, in an article speakingcf the pos
sible candidacy of General Robert
Bullock for the senate, says that the
general has recently advocated meas
ures detrimental to the best interests
of the state and the democratic par
ty.n To answer this let us see what
measures he has advocated that have
given offense to the ring rule upper
class democracy; he favors railroad
commission, SO do the straight outs,
the difference being that he does not
in one breath advocate a thing and
then in the next apologize to the cor
porations for his position. He favors
an honest ballot and fair count; the
corporation democrats profess to adj
vocate the same thing The differ
ence is this: The corporation demo-
Gratis believe in ring rule, they are OPP
posed to the rule of the people; are
democrats for revenue only. General
Bullock believes in the ruling of the
people, he is a democrat from princi-
pie only. The ida that he IS indebted
to the democratic party is absurd and
false. Were he to hold office for the
next twenty years they would still be
his debtors. The Capitol seems to
have lost sight of the most glorious
part of the history of the democratic
party, of the days that tried mems
souls. When he says the general has
had enough honors at the hands of
the party he loses sight of the time
when Bullock braved all dangers,
when he sacrificed all, when he brave
ly stood the brunt of battle, when,
without chance of reward, he, at his
own expense, twice stumped the state
for the democratic party, when his
patriotism rose above personal feel
ings and he opened his scanty pocket
book in her cause. General Bullock
made his history and that of the DEM
ocratic party when the men who now
abuse and vilIify him were yet in
their swaddling clothes. In the face
of his record, both state and national,
you appeal to us to shelve him to give
way to the rule of such men as Chip
ley, Plant and Sparkman, and the
rest of the corporation magnates, men
who have-never made sacrifice for
the party and only belong to it for the
purpose of getting Office. Will the
people forget his record, how he has
braved every danger for the success of
this party. My opinion is fully ex-
pressed in the remarks made by a
leading candidate for the senate who
said: Should the convention order a
primary and were he Gen. Bullock)
to enter the race / think he would
beat US all two to one.u

~ It's t4>44t>t4 ~ --4< -
There recently appeared Id the PEN
sacola News an article by Georgia
railroad man, one Of the sProtectives, 2
why they should organize to oppose
laws favoring control of railroads.
The leading idea was that the farmer
could and should be made to pay the
rates the railroads fix for the carriage
of freight.
That all reductions in freight rates
were visited by proportionate reduce
ton in salaries and wages of railroad
employees and that the old farmer
could better afford to pay the freight
than the railroad employee could af-
ford to have the wages cut.
Now, the farmer has to take for his
produce, not what he demands, but
what he can get, very often not get
ting the cost Of production. / wish
here to present a few items in regard
to Florida freight in manner that I
have not seen in print:
The cabbage grower pays freight at
the rate of 500 per acre to eastern
markets. The tomato and cucumber
grower pays from $3.50 to 500 per acre
freights to eastern markets. The or
ange grower pays $3.50 per acre to
eastern a1d 1928 to western points.
Now, wish to ask any man when
an acre of land is paying such returns
to railroads If it is not a landoffice
business? 1t beats peonage, or slave-
ry.
These rates are fixed, it is blood
money or nothing. Compare these
rates with cotton rates, which pay
about $3.50 to $500 per acre. / make
these figures on the basis of $50 crates
of cabbage and 200 crates of other
stuff and 800 boxes of oranges per
acre, and give the actual freight
charges. OF course, Mr.. Editor, we
do not want any sinister laws passed
against the roads. They need to have
all the pudding and pie.
Recent events are certainly develop
ing the fact that the corporations are
unable to handle the roads. Millions
worth of private property have been
destroyed and do you imagine that
remuneration will ever be made, even
offered, without the interference of the
courts.
wish to ask the question if the or
lginal IL have not as much right to
shape the policy of the people in
Florida as the News and the Citizen,
and wish to ask the pertinent ques-
ton: Can better democrat be found
than Rob't. Bullock?
If am not mistaken some of those
who are now accusing him of political
heresy to-day were his warmest sup
porters at Orlando years ago. If there
has been any change in him / have
not been able to see it.
As for me, / am as / have always
been, independent in my political
ideas. One thing is certain, i shall
never cast nay vote against my mate
rial interests. No love of party nor
party law will ever coerce me into it.

Ida Wslls


TO the Editor OF the Banner
In the recent agitation In England
by Ida Wells, in regard to lynching Of
negroes in the South, it is impossible
to see where England can interfere in
matters here. So far as English inn
migration to this country is concerned
nobody cares to have any more En-
glish paupers come here or any other
Englishmen for that matter. We
have people enough here now to take
care of ourselves, which we mean to
do, and we can take care of England
also If she is inclined to NEEDLE. As
to the niger we propose to take care
Of him also regardless of English in
reference. We mean to break his
neck every time he NEEDLES with the
white women of the south, sure and
certain. On this question let the peo-
pie of our land speak in unmistaka-
BILE terms. There is no use In any
delieacy in smothering our sentiments
as well as our intent in such matters.
If any one wishes to pay the whole
some effects of an indiscriminate min
Cling of all races they have only to go
down in any of the countrieso Of South
America or Central America. They
are mongrel stock. And to say that
our country is producing an amalga-
mated race is false because there are less
mulattoes to be seen now in proper
ton to population than there was dur
ing slavery. All nations of hybrid
races are weak, and anything that
would weaken America would give
great pleasure to England, In all her
policy towards our country she has en-
deavored to weaken US. for one des-
pise anything like any foreign inter
ference in our affairs, moral, social or
financial.
Before goody good England under
takes to moralize our people she had
better look about the home life of her
own wretched poor and see if there is
no moral dirt there that ought to be
removed.
It certainly must have been de-
lectable sight to see the wife of the
mayor of London escorting an African
buck niger through the streets of
London. PAUL DUPUY

A Good One on Gov. Mitchell.

The Times-Union gets off the fol-
lowing good onen on Governor
Mitchell which will be enjoyed by all
who know him, and that includes the
whole people of the state. The T. IT,.
says:
Governor Mitchell was expected to
arrive in Jacksonville yesterday even
ing, and if Mrs. Mitchell does not in
duce him to purchase her several fine
dresses, it will be due solely to her
forgiying spirit.
The secret of the governor owing
these dresses is a joke, and a good one.
The governor and his estimable
wife have just lately arrived at White
Sulphur Springs. When about to
leave the capital, the governor packed
his trunk, and Mrs. Mitchell packed
hers. She found that, in spite of all
woman's dexterity, she was unable
to put everything in her trunk that
she wished to carry. so, to make
room, she placed several of her best
dresses in the trunk of the governor.
A day or two before one of the gov
ernor's admirers presented him with
several cobwebbed bottles Of wine,

placed in his trunk.

was that, when it reached its desti-
nation, the trunk gave forth an aroma,
which would drive the skeleton OF

she said:

are a''--But just then she checked
herself, and the denouement. will
come in Jacksonville.
1t is said that the governor is
thinking of having it out with the
baggage smasher, of suing the road, or
of simply buying more dresses and
saying no more about it.
The democratic pro-silver members
of the house have agreed upon the
following platform, and recommend
it to congressional conventions of
their party:
"Ne are in favor of tariff for reve-
nue. Only, and indorse the Wilson bill
as it passed the house as the nearest
approach to such tariff attainable at
this time.
1--WE are in favor of the income tax
as permanent part of the fiscal sys-
tenn, and welcome it as step toward
the restoration of equality in tax
alton.
ave are in favor of the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the present ratio,
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation on earth.
1--WE believe that all paper money
should be issued by the general gov
eminent, and should be made a full
legal tender for all debts, public and
private, and that hereafter no con-
tracts for a particular kind of money
should be permitted"
I'VE are in favor of the election OF
United States senators by direct
vote of the people"
