TEE FREIGHT sIrUATIoH.


To the Editor Of the Ocsla Baune'.
The Banner has struck the vital
point in the discussion of the matter
Of freight charges 20 interior points.
In its last analysis it is the same
question raised by the Presidents
message to Congress. docs the
state possess the power TO control
freight charges" The matter OF
regulating interstate commerce is
new. The right of a state to regu-
late charges made by, and the opera
ton of. transportation companies
within the state boundaries has long
bean conceded by all. The statute
creating a railroad commission i'm this
state is ample and sufficient to pre-
feet all interests, but the commission
j. worse than a nUllity. Ii is posi-
tive detriment. 1T prevents all com
petition between the railroads, and
the rates promulgated and enforced
by the commission constitute a rob
berry of the great mass Of people OF
this state under the forms of law. IL
Is an open secret among the well in
formed that the transportation COM
NAMES are delighted with the work
ings Of the commission, saying it is
much more convenient to manage a
small commission than to prevent
unfavorable legislation every two
wears. There is only one thing to
do: eitheirZ abolish the commission
and give the interior towns the adj
vantage of rate cutting, or amend
the statute by compelling the trans
portation companies to fix charges
strictly on a mileage basis and fix
this basis.notson conditions existing
during the antedeluvian days when
Senator Yulee owned the only road
I'm FloridaEbut on rates obtaining in
in otherSstates today. So much Tor
the general situation.
WHAT about Ocala and Marion
county?
Won have written about the Ock-
awaha river as a means of cheap
.Ersusportation. Give this up. The
dav for the use of this stream is past.
Tell the railroad commission to go
the devil. and build a small road TO
the st Johns river. Everybody is
agreed that if this town is to grow
some plan to carry goods at much
lower rates must be put in effect.
Will we permit it to be said that
knowing the cause of our trouble al d
having the means at hand to remove
it we are incapable of organization?
That each els afraid the other viii
profit by the transaction? IT,
money which has been wasted on So
called expositions, trotting parks and
creased pig contests within the past
ten years, would have been sufficient
TO make the town independent Of
of cockey little7Jacksonville and all
the railroads in the state.

Strange Christmas Phenomenon at
LADY lake.

When the 2:3O A. c. L. passenger
train arrived at Lady Lake on the
morning of December % two top
buygies were seen standing astride
the comb of the roof of the depot.
The conductor told a passenger from
Ocala who.alighted that he distinctly
saw that a horse was still attached
to one.of the buggies. IL was after
wands discovered that there was no
horsesthere unless he had made his
escape before daylight. Anyway,
the buggies were there and are there
now as there Is no machinery in the
town to lower them to the ground.
The people of Lady Lake do not
know whether there was an explo-
sion in a freight car loaded with bug
giles or whether FSanta Claus in his
flight over the town left two of his
vehicles.
Possibly the railroad commission
had somethingto do with this strange
phenomenon, but as the people Of
Lady Lake have strenuously applied
to the commission to establish an
agency at this. flag station they are

In assigning the different states to

the DISCUSSION and settlement OF

ballot box at a general election has
merely been a machine Registering
the color of the voter, not his political
opinions.
When you take into consideration
the mighty forces at work and the
inevitable trend Of events cannot see
how any thinker who believes in God
and recognizes that uplifting, evolu-
tionary force, ever at work pushing
nations from one epoch into another,
can have confidence in the makeshifts
which surround US or believe that
they can long endure. know not
what the immediate future may have
10 store, but I believe in our country
and know that the democratic ideas
upon which it is founded are surely
working US toward that condition,
where liberty and justice will be the
birthright of each unit composing
what we call government. l know
that the race, labor nor any other of
the great issues OF the day can ever
be settled except in harmony with
the catholic spirit OF the age, and that
in time every false doc5rine and himsy
pretext which impedes this onward
march will be crushed out Of ex-
istence. Conditions are likely to grow
much worse before they get better,
on the principle that out OF chaos
comes order. II some power could
bar out the politicians Of the, north
who traffic with the negro vote in

south who "holler bigger" every time
there is an honest difference OF opin-
ion, and then call into great conVen-
tion the wisest and safest men OF the
nation without regard to race or party
these great issues might be consider
ed upon their merits and way be
found out OF the wilderness which
would save much sorrow and suffer
ing.
I know too much, however, Of pub
lie life to expect anything to be done
until conditions become unendurable;
then the good sense and awakened
conscience of the American people
will find a solution for this and other
problems affecting national life which
now seem well might hopeless.
