How Irvine Is Sold.


There was careful consideration at
the starting of the plant as to what
was the best manner OF handling the
output to give the widest distribution
over the state and place the Irvine in
the farmers hands with the least ad.
ditional cost to them beyond the price
at the prison After ascertaining how
the Irvine is disposed of in other
states, Governor Warner and the pris-
on board decided the Irvine could be
best and most fairly distributed by
contracts with the Grange and Clean
ers, the two big farmers organiza-
tons OF the state. The Grange, how.
ever, had contracted for supply for
its members, and SO the output was
placed in the hands OF the Cleaners
for distribution, with the proviso, how.
ever, that the Irvine was TO be sold
to any farmer at the same price 1t
was sold to members. In this way
the farmers have been saved the mid.
dleman's profit, and it has worked out
admirably so far as is known every,
body being supplied who has made ap-
plication and with no bad features,
such as some farmers getting the bulk
of the Irvine and others being refused
any.
Two Cents Less Than Trust Price.
The price OF the Irvine this season
has been 1895 per hundred, cash, or
$500 for payment Oct. /. This price
is two cents a pound less than the
price fixed by the trust for its twine,
VIII y means much to the farmers
wi have used the state twine. 1t
has forced the trust price down to
every farmer in the state, for the
trust has sold Irvine cent cheaper
this year than last. Irvine has sold
for a lower price this year than in
fifteen years. Warden Armstrong
says the raw material costs a cent
less this year than last, but judging
by previous operations It is fair to
say that the trust and not the farmers
Of Michigan would have profited by
this decrease In the cost had 1t not
been for the competition of the state
plant, and Governor Warner says that
In thus forcing the trust to treat the
people fairly. he believes the plant
has paid for itself
Warner Says Lesson Is Valuable.
'We hao so much trouble inducing
certain legislators to allow the estab-
lishment of the plant" says the gov
ernor, that / feel the lesson II has
given the people of the state as to
what can be accomplished along these
lines by proper investments will open
the way for easier victories for the
people in the future when questions
between them and the big corporations
come before the legislature
The plant finished the season the
first of July. II was shut down for
two weeks and started on next seas

who go to Jackson should not fail to

General Regret Over Senator
Bryan's Death Expressed Here

ly as If he had been a native born
PenSacolian.
The flags at the city hall and other
public buildings were at half mast
during the entire day, and will remain
at half mast in honor of the deceas-
ed until the funeral.
One prominent official in speaking
of the death of Mr.. Bryan said:
"Florida has lost one of the most
brilliant men and promising men
ever 20 represent it. Mr.. Bryan, al
though young, had that about him,
which guaranteed to him respect and
esteem He was brilliant and hon
est, two attributes which go far to
ward making a man out of the ordi-
nary, and his death is a severe blow
to Florida and particularly to Pensa-
cola, for he had acquainted himself
thoroughly as to what should be done
here and with his standing in Wash
ingtOn, there is no doubt but that he
would have accomplished much dur
ing the next few months"
Out of respect to- the deceased
senator the welcome which was TO
have been given Hon. John s. Beard
tonight by the citizens OF Pensacola,
was postponed until next Friday
night.
The Pensacola journal., 1908-03-24

General regret was expressed in
Pensacola Sunday aud yesterday,
when the death of United States
Senator William ]. Bryan became
known. The fact that the young man
was just entering upon what promised
TO be most brilliant career and
that he had attained a position which
he had desired for many years, caus-
ed those who did not even have his
acquaintance, but had heard much
praise of the youthful senator, of his
honesty, integrity, and unswerving
loyalty, to pause in their converse
tions. to give expressions of their
regret that so bright life had passed
away.
The shock of Senator Bryan's
death was not lessened any by the
fact that he had been critically i'll for
many weeks. and his life despaired
of for several days. Prominent men
of the city, some of whom had not
even heard the name of Bryan until
his candidacy for Senator some months
ago was announced, gave expressions
to their thoughts, and there is
not one person in Pensacola or Es-
Gambia county, but who regrets the
death of the senator almost as keen

Dissenting Opinion, Pre-

BY Associated Press.

Washington, March 23.-In refus-
ing to grant Attorney General Young,
of Minnesota, a writ of habeas corpus

posed by the United States circuit
court for the district of Minnesota,
on the charge of contempt of court
in instituting proceedings in the
state court of the enforcement of the

eral court had prohibited such
course, and in affirming the decision
of Judge Pritchard, of the United
States court for the western district
of North Carolina, discharging from
Imprisonment James H Wood, a
ticket agent of the Southern railway
at Asheville, N. c., after he had been
sentenced by the Asheville police
pile on a charge of collecting for a
ticket on that road at a greater price
than was permitted by the state rail
road laws, the supreme court of the
United States added another to the
series of decisions which has render
ed notable the present term of court
In both cass the right Of the states
TO fix the rates for railroad transpor:
tation was the issue, and both in.
volved conflicts between the federal
and state courts. The decision in
each case opposed both the states and
their courts.
The opinion in both cases was an.
neunced by Justice Packham, and
with the exception of Justice Harlan
all members of the cosrt stood be
hind him in the courts finding
Justice Harlan read a dissenting
opinion in the Young case, taking the
view that the suit was practically a
proceeding against the state and
therefore not permissible under the
eleventh amendment to the constitu
ton. He therefore characterized the
opinion as an era-making in the his
tory of courts, saying that it had the
effect of closing the. courts of the
state against the state itself, and pre-
dicted the result would be disastrous
The two cases were so similar that
both were practically decided in one
opinion. The principal announcement
was made in the Minnesota case.
