The Railroad Rate siil Goes Into e.
feet Today.


Special to the Ocala Banner:
Washington, d. c., Aug. 28.-The
railroad rate law, which was approved
by President Roosevelt on June 20,
went into effect today Although the
railroads have been granted an ex-
tension of time for enforcement of
some of the provisions of the law, the
companies have found it quite conven-
lent to enforce the provisions which
prohibits the issuing of free passes
and terminates the validity of those
already issued. After today the rail
roads will refuse to acknowledge the
validity of passes over any Of their
lines.
The railroads have raised great
many objections to some of ~ -
visions of the new law and if all their
demands for changes of the law, or
ar least temporary reimbursement of
certain provisions should be granted
it would leave the conditions practi-
cally as they were before the rate law
was passed. All the passes issued by
the railroad companies are usually
issued on January 1, and are suppos-
ed to be valid until the end of the
year, it was believed that the law
against passes would not be enforced
until January 1, Of next year. But
the abolition of passes meant money
into the pockets of the railroads and,
for that reason they could not see
any good reason to delay the enforce
ment of that feature. At the same
time some of the western railroads
pretend that they are opposed at this
particular feature, giving as their
reason, that under the new laws it
will be impossible for them to issue
passes to land agents and prospective
land buyers in the sparsesly settled
districts of the west and the natural
result will be great delay in settling
those districts.
The enforcement Of this new law
will undoubtedly lead to large num-
Der of complaints and law suits start
ed for the purpose of testing the valid
ity of certain provisions of the law.
Many such complaints are already
in the hands of the interstate COM
merce commission and will be con-
sidered with the greatest possible
speed. Many of the complaints involve
demands for lowering the rate charges
and these will be taken up and dispos-
ed of first. The Pennsylvania rail-
road will probably bring the first
case to test the validity of the law be-
fore the courts. 1t is understood that
the first question to be tested will be
whether the initial carrier shall be
held responsible for damages or loss
to the shipper.

RRoWARD AT FORT MCCOY.

True to his appointment Governor
Broward spoke at Fort Mccoy Friday
afternoon on the drainage of the Ev-
erglades. He was driven over from
Citra by Mr.. ]. w. Crosby, member of
the county executive committee.
Governor Broward was met by
crowd estimated to have numbered
between eight hundred and a thous-
and and was listened to with strict
attention. Those who heard him said
he presented his scheme in a most
plausible manner and the crowd was
with him from start to finish. 1t is
said also that he has made wonderful
improvement along the lines of ora
tory since he started out on his first
campaign and there are now few men
in the state who can present an ar
gument in a stronger and more force
full manner. He spoke at Fort Nc
Coy for two hours and half and dur
ing the whole time kept the close at
tention of his audience.
1t was the day of Pentecost repeat
ed-he made converts of all who
were present and all went away fully
convinced that the drainage scheme
is wonderful thing and that Florida
absolutely needs it in her business.

were: C. L. Bittinger, of the Ocala

There was barbecued beef, sheep,

In large companies college men are
employed in almost any department.
They are started as statesmen, CORE
spondents or in straight clerical work
with view to teaching them the bus
mess and training them to fill more
responsible positions.
The idea of many employees is that
it does not make much difference
where they are started so long as they
are men of brains and determination.
The president of one manufacturing
company last year scattered scores Of
young technical graduates through the
various departments, letting them go
ahead more or less on their own mi
tiative and work out their own sal
walton.
"Our business is largely in an ex-
detrimental stage" said the chief en-
gineer of this company, "and if we
can secure enough bright college men
during the next few years and keep
them with US, think they will be able
to develop this as they did the steel
business" 1t is an end like this which
most employers have in mind when
they begin a search for young college
men. Most of them have no use for
beginners merely as cheap labor
they want men who will some day be
worth large salaries. They try to Sc
cure only the best and feel person
al disappointment in failure.-H. j.

Editor Ocala Banner:
Allow me through the columns Of
your paper to address the boys OF
Marion county.
/ am the founder Of a society for
best known as the Boys Of Woodcrarr
1t is an auxiliary to the woodmen OF
the World and can be established only
in connection with camp of that or.
der.
Its object is to make boys manly
in muscles, mind and morals.
The way for boys to be manly is
to act like men.
The best men as a rule are mem.
bers of fraternal societies.
In Boys of Woodcraft we have all
the good points of the great fraternal
societies.
We have grips, signs and pass
words; we have an initiation that is
fun for all but the candidate; we are
like a band of brothers. We visit the
sick, help the needy and bury the
dead.
In our regular meetings we try to
improve our manners, develop our
minds, and subdue our passions. We
have military evolutions, parliamentary
practice and practical lessons in the
principles of fraternity.
These things are enough to make
any American boy want to become a
member but there are other things
that are pleasant and profitable. The
camp in Jacksonville has over one
hundred members. They invite al
boys of woodcraft to be their guests

nival. All visiting cadets will be en-
tertained in the homes of the mem.
bers.
This day will be B, o. w. day.
The cadets will parade the streets
with bands of music; with banners
flying and will march out to the
grounds. There will be competitive
drills and very little speech making
and the boys will then proceed to take
in the shows.
The next big thing is the encampment
inside the jamestown exposition. The
Woodnen of the World and the Boys
of Woodcraft will camp inside the
grounds a week beginning May 13,
1907.
To every camp already organized
would suggest that you go to work to
make enough money to pay the rail-
road fare for the entire camp.
To boys not yet organized | would
suggest that you get dozen of the
best boys in town together. Then Sc
lect the biggest hearted Woodman in
the camp and go to see him every day
till he gets you started.
You must be Boys of Woodcraft to
take in either of these events.
If very boy in Marion county will
write me for particulars. | will an
swer through the Banner.
Your friend.

bring less turpentine to market than
either of the other big receipt months.
The danger in the present situation
lies in the fact that further boost in
values may suddenly check demand
again, as was the case of fortnight
ago, and bring about quick reaction.
1t is being demonstrated pretty thor
oughly though, that this month the
demand and receipts enable some
quick bull movements to succeed. The
