HOW THE EXCHANGE
GETS BEST RESULTS

Well here is case in point: On No.
vember lst Mr.. Burton started car
loaded with oranges and grapefruit for
Providence, r. |. In due course the
car arrived. Promptly by wire Mr..
Burton was informed that the market
was $l.75 for oranges and 1926 for
grapefruit. Mr.. Burton wired back
that his price for the lot was 1925 for
oranges and 500 for grapefruit. The
message flashed was to the effect that
Providence would not stand for this
price. MIR. Burton Immediately in
structed the Providence agent to rush
that car Of fruit to Boston, and the
Boston agent was notified of its coming.
1t arrived at the Hub" and without
further ado sold as follows: Oranges,
81. 90, 50. Is and So. %; grapefruit, 1926,
81. 9S and $3.04.
Not to go into details as to number
of boxes, sizes, quality, etc, and thus
the problem for the kinder
garten class, it may be stated as fact
that Mr.. Burton saved to the shipper
of that car of fruit something over
1925.
Now then here is the reflection that
should engage the serious attention of
the Skeptics: Suppose there had been
no Exchange and the shipper had con
signed that car of fruit to Providence
commission man of the strictest pro-
hity? The man would have done his
best for his customer, as the Exchange
agent did for his employer, though he
could not have sold the fruit for more
than the market would allow, but he
would have sold it--and the shipper
would have lost two hundred and TWEEN
ty-fve good. clean dollars. Could you
have blamed the commission man for
this? Certainly not. He was doing the
very best for you that his facilities
would allow Suppose he had known
that prices: prevailing in Boston We're
higher than those prevailing in Prov-
lence, it would not have been IN ordi
nary human nature for him to have
sent that car to Boston and thus de-
Drive himself of a fat commission. do
you think? You have not heard of any
Eases of this kind have you?
This case is cited as one in practice
md to bury the ghost of theory. The
moral is: Lay aside your skepticsm and
get into the Exchange.

The same generous spirit followed

he was member of the Florida
legislature from Brevard. During re-
construction he managed to influence
some leading negroes in the legislature
and saved the state thousands of dol
lars and prevented the passage of
number of very bad laws.
A man of his positive and aggressive
nature could not help making some
enemies, but where he had one enemy
he had hundreds of friends. H fought
his enemies but stood true as steel to
his friends. His life in Brevard was
active and positive and greatly progress

fear to venture and spent more money
than perhaps any early settler. His
were great help in the
early settlement of Indian river and
the money that went through his hands

that while the state. democratic
platformdeclared for such legis-
lation, every democrat had a
right to construe it's meaning to
fit his own conscience, or words
to this effect. This intimation
from the Governor is considered,
by some, to be a wink at those
members who have ahalong con-
sistently opposed any legislation
which would effect the operations
of trusts and monopolies. While
admitting that Governor Kitchin
was unfortunate in the language
employed in the part of his mes
sage referred to, we cannot
bring ourselves to the conclu-
sion that he intended to dodge
the issue. He has always stood
four-square to every wind that
has arisen on his politi cal horizon,
never losing an opportunity to
denounce trusts and monopolies
as intolerable and indefensible,
recommending utter destruction
instead of regulation.
tits well to proceed along con-
servative lines, but the party
stands pledged to certain re-
forms which its representatives
in the General Assembly cannot
afford to ignore. The present
antitrust law, so-called, is not
worth the space is occupies IN
the volume it encumbers and
ought to be amended or repealed.
1t is a farce, pure and simple
intended to deceive, but not even
accomplishing that purpose.
Those in authority would do well
to consider that the eyes of the
people are upon them and that
the folks have long memories.
What we need is a law that will
put every private monopoly out
of business. There should be no
discrimination. One evil is no
better than another and the same
prescription should be applied to
all.

it thinks the interests of the pub

And, further, it does not bow
the knee to any imperious indl-
