If we are compelled to keep the houses full
all the time to get cars an enormous loss
will result.
"If the order based on the amount of
fruit ready for shipment is allowed to
stand the packing houses will be made
larger and the conditions will be materi-
ally worse"
Losses from decay have been compare
lively light during the past season, due
to the unusually cool weather Some
fruit had to be held back two or three
lost the net value, the shipments selling
for only enough to pay freight charges.
After Mr.. Woodford was excused the
petitioners rested, with the understanding
that they could call one more witness as
soon as he could attend court.
Attorney Britt opened for the intervenor,
stating that he would expect to show the
reasonableness of the present system of
distribution, that the petitioner has no
standing in court under the contract law,
and that fruit on the trees cannot be con-
strued to mean that 1t is ready for ship
ment which, he contended, is only when 1t
is packed in boxes.
He admitted, when asked by the com
missioner that a shipper might order
cars If he expected to have the oranges
packed when the cars arrived at his sta
ton, but insisted that fruit on the trees
might never reach the cars, because of the
uncertainty naturally attending the hand
ling of fruit.
The hearing will be continued today.

structive to the moral and all other ele-
ments of man.
1.-THE law should be known to the judges
and If they are not unmitigated towards
they should uphold 1t and liquor sellers
should not be allowed to infringe on the
rights of the people.
"If God had placed angels in control OF
the moral law everything would have
been all right, but as it was not evidently
the case, the civil government had to
come into effect in defense of the moral
law.
1.-THE supreme court has said three
times that the sale of liquor is unlawful.
And as it is poison, it must hold good
that its sale is unlawful.
There is the claim that the words sa-
loon and liquor are not in the constitu-
tion of the United States, but that does
not signify that everything should be
strictly specified and if saloon and liquor
are menaces they should be stamped un-
lawful and eradicated."
Judge Artman dwelt at great length on
the subject of his address and was
heartily applauded.

Mr. Woodford is the man behind the gun

He explained that it is very unusual for

it is shipped, and that all sales are made
by an eastern agent who advises the wit

Like every other witness before him, Mr..
Woodford declared that the method of dis

be based on the holdings of the respective
shippers, and that since the Southern Pa

on a basis of fruit packed and ready for
shipment the business of the exchange
had been restricted.

Some New Thoughts Voiced and New
Arguments Presented by Very
Able Speaker on Old
Subject

Judge Samuel r. Artman OF Indiana
held the attention of large audience
with an able address in Simpson audi
torium last night.
Judge Waldo M. York was the chairman
of the evening and a large number OF
prominent people were seated on the
platform.
Judge York after brief preliminary re-
marks introduced Judge Artman, who
made an address on "Unconstitutionality
of Saloon Licenses"
When Judge Artman arose to speak
he was greeted with the Chautauqua sa-
lutte by the audience with much enthusi-
asm.

declared the saloon was cancer IN So
ciety and among people. and should be
eradicated and not root of 1t should be
left behind.
"I think this cancer can and should
he eradicated entirely from the face of
the earth.
"There was time when liquor was
sold by common consent, but 1T became
known that it caused crime and the state
enacted statutory laws prohibiting the
sale of liquor.
"Strange to say these statutes were
contested by the saloon men. They said
their saloons were their legitimate prop
critics and they had right to sell liquor
under the moral law and this new law
was invalid.
But now that the supreme court has
decided that the saloon is illegal the sa-
loon men put up the claim that they are
doing great justice to the prohibition
cause by selling liquor.
How preposterous!
'"The legal and logical conclusion is
there is no inherent right to deal in
liquor.
"The courts have decided that whatever
is dangerous or discriminating is unlawful.
