We learn from the Los Angeles Ex-
press that the fruit growers Of California
are preparing 10 organize throughout
the State TO protect themselves against

ratOr Car Combine" In other words

90 establish freight rates in order 10
make She railroad companies charge
only such rates as the fruit growers
think are just and reasonable But sup
pose California had an antitrust law,
how could such combines be effected?
The farmers of this country should be
very slow to give their consent 10 such
laws for they may discover by and by
that the antitrust law like the boycott
IS a pesky thing that is loaded at both
ends.
In commenting on the fact that some

let and no doubt that Georgia
could make an attractive exhi-
bit. But the Post significantly adds that
the money expended IN publishing and
distributing advertising matter OF this
character will lie thrown away so long
as Georgia allow barbarous lynchings.
