Pursuant to the call Of the Citizens
the officers and number of the mem.
bers of the Board of Trade met with
the Citizens Of Arcadia at the Board OF
Taade Rooms last Friday afternoon at
3 p. m,
Judge R. E. Brown explained that
the object of the meeting was to learn
the progress the Board of Trade had
made in securing the Round House and
Railroad Shops OF the c. H. & N. for
Arcadia, and to learn of the disposal, of
the $4,000 90 that was last year raised
for that purpose.
Mr.. ] L. Jones reported for the
Board Of Trade that the necessary ar
rangemente had been made with the
Railroad Company for the location of
their shops here and that everything
possible had been done to safeguard
the interests Of the people Of Arcadia.
That the money raised had been used
in the purchase Of the present c. H. &
N. Depot site He then read the Con.
tract with the Company, which convey
ed this land to the Railroad with the
proviso that the shops be built and in
operation two years from November
9th, 1907 and remain in operation here
for a period Of not less than ten years.
Mr.. Jones then stated that the Board
had done everything in their power to
make the Company agree to put the
shops in operation in twelve months
from November 9th, 1907, but that the
very best that they could do was the
two year agreement which is now in
force.
Mr.. Ed. Scott and Others further ex-
planned the situation, and the meeting
adjourned with the feeling that the
Board had done their best for the citi-
zens of Arcadia.

Grapefruit Sells Well.

The first car OF Florida grapefruit of
the season was sold by Kunz & Pendle-
ton at auction Tuesdey. Some hand
some prices we're realized for the fruit.
The desirable sizes sold up to N.7s with
the small fruit going as low as $3.50.
Some of it was very good, but the
greater portion was green and without
juice. Florida shippers should remem-
Der that they cannot expect to do well
with this class Of fruit. The scarcity of
grapefruit now is what Is keeping up
the price The hotel keepers say their
customers are getting tired of poor canta-
loupes and peaches, and are demanding
grapefruit. Advices from Florida are
that the crop is beginning to move, and
1t Is expected that there will be more
liberal quantities here next week when
the price will undoubtedly take drop.
Just at present, fruit not smaller than
64s would no doubt bring IS to 81 The
general range through the week for any
thing first class has been "a to IS.
Cuban grapefruit, Of which there was a
small quantity and which was very fine,
brought the highest prices OF the season
this week, realizing sl0.S7H. This
grapefruit at the present is better than

THE INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE.

More than 100 prominent American women have married in Europe with in recent years. Reckoning from 1920 the figures mount to over 50o. Nearly 100 of tnese have married into noble foreign lamilies.
 The critics point to many promi- aent marriages between Europeans and Americans as examples of domes- tic unhappiness.
 But the actual records are against the belief that unhapplness is the par ticular part of the international mar riage In the World almanac list of l4S names of prominent American women who have married titled for eigners will be found. Out of the 356 cases of girls who have married for eign noblemen not more than twenty troublous unions can be reckoned.
 Glance over the list of prominent interEuropean marriages, however, and it will be noted that the 'politi- cal" marriage has a far worse record for average of unhappiness than the financial" marriage. In the records of European marriages of members of royal and less noble families the names of Emperor Francis Joseph, Rudolf. his second son, Archduke Ot- to of Bavaria, Princess Louise of Bel gium Prince Philip of Coburg, Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, Vladimir of Russia, and his son the Grand Duke Cyril. Frederick August, king of Sax, ony, occur to the memory at once as unhappy examples.
 The American divorce statistics for ten years up to 1905 show 16.3SS cases in Chicago. 4.7O6 in Philadel phia, 5,321 in New York and 3,746 in Boston Perhaps with such records We have been somewhat too kasty in ponting the finger of scorn at the in ternational marriage

SOCIALIST pELUSloN.

m uging all good Americans, and especially the mayors of American cities, to study socialism Mayor Me Clellan of New York points out that this new and dangerous movement is gaining ground because it takes many people unawares. He says 1t breaches the doctrine Of the elimination of self. ishness; but he makes the comment that the preachers of such a doctrine must be themselves the very high priests of self. In his opinion 1t is The duty of American citizens to in fuse ideals into politics. With ideals says the mayor of New York. politics will be pure. and if ideals become the working force in business relations these too will become pure. Then says the son of Fighting Mac there will be no need of fine spun theories to bungle aU the reformation of the
 world The New York mayor made some bitter remarks about paternal sm in government.

UNCLE JOE EXPLAINED.

Speaker Cannon's obstructive poll. cy causes surprise.
 Interested newspapers arc inquir ing why he win not let the house re peal the duty on wood pulp, as the president recommended.
 He Is charged with blocking the Appalachian forest reserve bill. emas- culating the interstate commerce ap propriation, and other rearward steps; whereupon arose ridiculous surnise that the speaker was trying to make himself unpopular.
 A person of some skill in politics offers a more reasonable explanation. ''In 1S90," he says. Mir. Cannon had been in public life some twenty years. During that time his name had never been associated in the public mini with any legislative act. Hence there was no vantage ground upon which criu- cism could plant itself, and while he retained that impregnabIe position he never knew defeat at the polls. But in 1890, most unfortunately, it became generally known among his constituents that he had voted for the Mckinley tariff bill. The vote was extensively commented upon during the campaign. with the result that Mir. Cannon was defeated.
 Enlightened and fortified by this experience. he returned to congress two years later, resolved never to commit the same error again. In the ensuing sixteen years the only act of positive nature clearly traceable to him consisted of a joint resolution to | adjourn, and this, as it happened was highly popular at Danviiie. With such an irreproachable record MT Cannon has triumphed at each recur ring election, and the opposition has fairly abandoned ope"-Saturday Evening Post.

WHAT DOES MR. SHAW
MEAN?

Former Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw is quoted as follows in an address Friday night in Chi cago:
 T am an optimist. but I want to emphasize the fact that a designing. interruptions. and ambitious execu. tive clothed with authority to fix rates. tc determine the life tenure of corporations and business combina' tIons, and to grant and withhold fran. chises would be in a position to per. petuate himself and his friends in of flee as long as he was willing to ac- cept political support as the pnce of immunity"
 What has occurred to put MT Shaw in mind of such things? asks the Washington Post. Whom was he thinking of? These are not the words of optimism. Taken alone, they deal exclusively with the future, but taken in connection with some other re marks made in the same address by MT. Shaw, they seem to bear upon present conditions and persons now prominent. Mir. Shaw is said to have remarked that the trend of the times is toward political bossism" whicl surely needs explanation in view O the popular uprising against bossisn in many states. NIT. Shaw appears tt have a specific. instance of ruthles! bossism in mind. for he continues.
 He who through love of powe, reaches out his hand to crush a busi ness opponent is universally consid cred worthy of the penitentiary, whil, they who through love of powe reach out both hands to crush politi cal opponents are recipients of tn, highest praise from the press, tn pulpit. and the people"
 Why not be little more specific Mir. Shaw? What person has won th highest praise by crushing a politica opponent? h what respect is tn countcy running toward greater boss ism? Mir. Shaw is a republican, an recently a candidate for the pres dency. He has not been crushed, s far as We are aware, and there ca be no personal disappointment to dis color his pure optimism. He occupie position of advantage, both as t information and political perception and could make his remarks perfectl clear if he would It is not ofte t' at the Iowa statesman has been s obscure in his utterances as to be LII ineligible. We should like to kno' exactly what he meant, and to wha persons he referred.
