ONLY ONE CURE.

There is only one cure for the defi-
ance of railroad commissions by rail-
road companies, and that cure is gov
ernment ownership.
If laws cannot be made which will
hold water" so to speak, or which
do not compel obedience from railroad
companies in matters of rate adjust
ment and regulation, then there is
only one way in which to force obedi-
ence-government ownership.
A case in point which emphasizes
this argument is the refusal of the
Southern Pacific to lower the rate
from IS to 1910 per 1000 on green
lumber from Willamette valley points
to California. The company was ask
ed by the railroad commission of Ore
gon to lower the rate to the old basis
of 1910 per 1000 and the company
said it would not do so.
There you are. The consumer pays

Michigan gained l53 yards by rushing
and Jhe forward pass. Forty yards OF

their hopes. were low. But like the play
ers. they had been astounded and be-
wildered rather than convinced. and
mighty cheer greeted Capt. Biglow and
bis blue warriors when they came run
ming out for the second half 10 find that
annoying enemy and either take their
medicine or show what was in them.
Yale swept Field.
Almost from the whistle there was a
complete transformation. hard even. for
the Yale partisans to believe, and simply
staggering To the Princeton stands. In
stead OF Princeton being the aggressor
Yale at once fell upon their foe. and their
attack. moving almost like unit,-swept
along in one Of those grand traditional
marches down the field such as the Yale
song has celebrated. In a little more than
six minutes. Yale had swept through
Princeton's defense as If II had been PIT
per. and put the ball across the Prince
ton goal line for touchdown. Biglow
very easily converted It into "A goal. and
the score stood Princeton 10. Yale 6.
The Yale stands began TO wake up.
They had been yelling for touchdown,
and the touchdown had been delivered so
easily that they could hardly believe il.
The Princeton stands, only five minutes
before aggressively confident were be-
gining to feel some treDidatiOn. not ar
defeat. but a mere feeling Of irritation
that their team should allow them TO be
put on the rack by any such worry after
they had been only wondering how big a
score would be rolled up.
But here the Yale men were off again
with their terrific swinging of plays that
seemed 10 eat up the 5-yard lines. Tad
Jones and Coy took a hand at swinging
round Princetons hitherto impregnable

Princeton then began TO laugh. for il
looked too easy, and it must be confessed
that a good share of the Yale crowd in
the bleachers began to feel actually sorry
for their team, and the hope that defeat
would not be rubbed in by Princeton
piling up more points in the second half
than they had in the first. In fact. in
stead of it's being disappointment 10 the
Yale crowd to hear the time called for
the end of the first half it was rather
Of a relief
As the teams went off the field many
sympathizing glances and some rather
faint encouraging calls were sent out to
the Yale men. Yet deep down in the
hearts OF that big Yale stand there was
something that was calling for recogni-
ton. This Yale team may have disap-
pointed its partisans several times this
season with a kind of lethargy, but they
had fully realized that those men out on
the gridirOn had never yet known what
it was TO weaken, and no matter how
slow they had been to come TO time. they
with the exception of the West Point
game, never failed to show what was in
them before the second half was COM
pleted.
Could that team be beaten with all the
power Of attack. which every one knew
they had? Well 1t certainly looked like
it. For thirty-five minutes there had
been practically but one team in the play.
and that had been Princeton.
Those who were on the inside. how
ever, knew that the Yale team had been
fooled and bewildered, and so far as will
power was concerned, but that they were
practically as fresh as when they started.
They had been stung here and there by
an eXasperating hornet. They had re-
ceived no wounds. and were only anxious
to find something that they could get hold

Why Is It?

Railroad managers are usually
shrewd business men, yet it seems
as though those in charge of the rail-
roads in this state are very blind to
the real interests of their roads. A
railroad is dependent on patronage
for it's income from which to meet
current expenses and after that to pay
dividends If this is true, it is then
evident that unless their patrons are
prosperous, their business must feel
the effects of the hard times. In the
face of this self evident fact, it is rule
of railroad officials, when making up
a tariff of freight rates, to put on all
that the traffic will bear. Often they
overestimate the ability of the traffic
and put the rate so high that it kills
the business, this was the case some
years ago when the people of south
Florida set out peach orchards of the
new varieties originated BY Mr.. A. I.
Bidwe1l. When the trees came into
bearing the fruit sold for high price
in northern markets, but the trans
portation cost so much that nothing
was left for the grower, and in a few
years the trees were cut down and the
land devoted to other crops
Our orange growers are not likely
to go to that extreme, but there is
no doubt that many more groves
would be set out if it were not for
the uncertainty of profit on account
of high rates and what is worse poor
service The Packer calls attention,
in an editorial note, to the fact that
it takes some of the Florida railroads
longer to get a car of oranges off
their own track, not over 100 to 200
miles long, than it does to bring a
car of oranges from Los Angeles,
California, to New York City. The
editor would hardly make such an
assertion unless there was some
ground for it. Yet how can the Off
Gals account for such gross misman-
agement being allowed No other
word suits the case.

Denatured Alcohol.

We have at various times printed
items of information about the law
allowing the manufacture and sale of
denatured alcohol, free from tax. This
law was passed by congress because
the pressure of the farmer vote and
the agricultural press was too great
to be longer resisted. We do not be-
lleve in quoting scripture on trivial
occasions and in doing SO today we
do not at this time think of any thing
else that fits the case Christ was
trying to show to the disciples how
ready our Heavenly Father was to
give us what we need if we only ask
for it. To emphasize and enforce it's
truth He said, "Or what man is there
of you, whom if his son ask bread,
will give him stone? Or if he ask
fish, will he give his serpent"
1t looks now as though we had asked
for bread and received a stone Con-
gress and the Department have made
rules and regulations that the whole
business is going to be controlled by
the trust or the Standard Oil Com
pany. This may result in cheapening
alcohol to certain extent, but not
by any means to the degree that was
expected. The benefit to farmers will
be much less than was expected, be-
cause SO much less will be used than
would be if it could be bought at a
lower price. This again reacts against
the farmer in depriving him of the

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1907
Adieu.

Thirty years ago, the 18th of July,
a boy of sixteen was sent to a print
ing office in DeLand on an errand.
While there, he was asked if he would
not like to learn the printers trade.
The proposition was received favor
ably and reply was promised the next
morning. The next morning found
the boy at the printing office ready
for work and he was duly christened
the "printers devil" This position
was accepted because it promised
more for the future than the ca = eff
orange groves, but at that time the
remuneration as printers devil
amounted to practically nothing for
the first year, $500 per week for the
second, and $500 for the third
One day while passing the entrance
Of the editorial sanctum, the devil
looked in and saw the editor tilted
back in an easy chair reading an ex-
change and smoking his pipe, while
his feet were resting on his desk, a
perfect picture Of ease and comfort
This picture caused the desire to be an
editor to take deep root in the print
ers DEVILS heart It is not necessary
to tell in detail, how by thorough ap-
pllcation to business the devil was
promoted to compositor and then to
foreman. Later an opportunity was
offered him to become half owner,
which was accepted. The money to
make the first payment had been
saved out of the wages of $500, 500
and $500 per week In just ten years
from the time of entering as printers
devil this young man was sole owner
of the printing office and had reached
the coveted goal-the editorial chair.
The picture of leisure hours and COM
fort, however, faded with the &C
QUESTION of the editorial honors and
ownership responsibilities. Here be-
gan the long struggle to build up
not only good agricultural paper
but splendid printing plant The
E. .. Painter Printing Co., which is
one of the best equipped plants for
turning out book and magazine work
and a general line of job printing of
any office in the state, is the result
While the Agriculturist has never
reaced the high standard of some of
our Northern papers that enjoy larger
