Defeated by WIokersham.

The Flint resolution was adopted
and some time later it was learned
that 1t had been drafted by Attorney
General Wickersham and that it was
one of the matters considered at the
White House conference Sunday when
the attorney general, Mr.. Ballinger
and Postmaster General Hitchcock
met.
Adoption of the Flint resolution was
followed by the presentation by Sena.
tor Jones of Washington of letter
from Mr.. Ballinger, urging an inquiry
Of the broadcast scope and expressing
the opinion that 1t would disclose that
certain officers of the forest service
had been guilty of pernicious activity
In inspiring the charges against him.
Mr.. Jones gave notice that Unless some
other senator did SO he would offer a
resolution calling for a. joint congress
sional investigation.
Having opened the channel for q
congressional inquiry, the selection of
the proper tribunal to hear. the evi.
dence for and against both Mr.. BALM.
ger and Chief Forester Pinchot be.
comes very important question" At.
tention was given to this subject. Re.
publican leaders in the senate have
practically agreed that Senator Mel.
son, chairman of the committee on
public lands, should be at the head
of the probing body.
A joint committee Of the senate and
house is not favored on the ground
that 1t would be cumbersome and a
special committee is opposed because
1t is feared that there would be pre-
cipitated scramble to have placed
thereon men who are prejudiced either
for or against one Of the principals
in the controversy. 1t is considered,
therefore, that if the senate determ-
ines the selection, it will fall upon the
senate committee on public lands.

FIorida's Newspapers

Take the newspapers in Florida as
a whole, says the DeLand Record, and
they outclass, in makeup. the news
they give, and the good they do for
their state, those of any state in this
country. The newspaper men of
Florida are hustlers; they are doing
a great work for the state, and their
incomes are not commensurate with
the arduous work they do. But while
they are in the business for a living,
they do the work with great cheer
fulness, take a pride in the growth
and prosperity of Florida and her
citizens. Were it not for her news
papers the state would not be enjoy
ing that prosperity that is her good

A Deplorable Fact About Schools

President Murphree, of the Uni
versity of Florida, at Gainesville,
made several addresses recently at
the educational rally throughout
Florida, and he took the pains in his
remarks to call attention to certain
school statistics in Florida which
show an alarming condition in regard
to the attendance of public schools.
His figures disclosed the fact that
the percentage of attendance of
children of school age had actually
decreased in the last ten years. These
figures did not take into account the
increase of population during this
period, but showed a numerical de-
crease in the number of students at
tending school.
Mr.. Murphree spoke of the baneful
effect of politics in the educational
system of the state, and said he
looked forward to the time when the
school system of the country would
be placed under the civil service sys-
TEN, when those men who are to
have charge of our school may be
, chosen for their ability and fitness
for the work, and not on account of
a political pull"
DR.. Murphree was supported by
every other speaker in this regard,
all of them deploring the fact that
politics should be a factor in our
school system.

Final Decree Rendered

The final decree in the matter of
the Florida East Coast Railway
against the railroad commissioners
was entered this week, dismissing the
bill for injunction filed in August by
Alex. st. Clair Abrams, representing
the Florida East Coast Railway Co.
This bill, which covered several
scores of typewriter pages, alleged
that the railroad commissioners were
not experienced railroad men, and
were therefore not in position to die
tate to a railroad company as to the
needs, etc. u, along the line.
The orders to which the railroad
company objected were issued by the
commisson in March, and the in
junction soon followed. The bill of
complaint alleged that it wasunneces-
sary to place depots at the several
places designated by the commission,
and that an agent, at the station re-
quired by the order, is not necessary.
The bill further declared that the
road was threatened with insolvency,
and such orders as were issued by
the commission were working hard
ship on the railroad company, unfair
and unreasonable.
A demurrer was filed late in Aug
ust by Louis c. Massey, attorney for
the railroad commissioners, which
when argued before Judge Jones,
was sustained and the bill dismissed.

An Anomalous Position

Certain of the commission fra
ternity occupy very peculiar posi-
tiOn at the present time, and the
growers are greatly interested there
in. We know of some who own
large groves of citrus fruits who are
buying other crops where it suits
their purposes and still earnestly
working to secure cOnsignments.
Not getting enough conSignmentS.
they are offering To buy Through
agents supposed To be working indie
pendently) at prices really above the
market. Full Jacksonville market
has been bid for certain pineapple
crops, "On condition that the seller
drop his connection with the En-
change" These overtures have been
promptly turned down, as the intent
to bribe was too plainly apparent.
Ii would be a simple matter, and
good business, to lose a little
money if prominent growers who
have a following could be influenced
tokeep out of the Exchange. But
all the people cannot be fooled
even part of the time, and this
action has driven many more growers
into the Exchange than it has bribed
away from it.
Mr.. Grower, where do you think
your cOnsignments would land if
your commission man was grower,
buyer-or both? Do you think he
would give your consigned fruit the
best prices and sacrifice what he
owned if a poor market was met?
