There is some uncertainty as to
whether this constituted a valid ad-
vcrtisement. II the court should
rule otherwise. however, 1t would
have the effect of setting aside in
Vulnerable court DEGREES, and plunge
the affairs of the courts into mex
tricable confusion. For instance,
countless divorce cases have been ad

rers of the State. and a decision de-
claring the DEGREES invalid on ac

produce embarrassing situations, to

SCHEME TO BREAK THE

General Manager Temple of tho
Florida Citrus Exchange is firmly Of

in the State II the growers will now
adopt the wise course Of sitting tight
end holding their fruit until 1t Is

Rod Temple points out is bound to
come when 1t is fully ripe.
Mr.. Temple believes firmly that
the rushing of green fruit to the
northern markets as soon as the
gates we're down Oct was scheme
on the part of the small spectators
10 break the market. How success
full 1t was Is known to all.

The market once broken, the small
si.eculators flooded the markets with
letters Offering fruit at sl25 osI40

AUST buy the fruit at prices on tn,
trees not to exceed 60 cents box.
At this very moment they are scOur-
ing the back counties of the fruit
belt trying to do this, and filling the
air with lies about how the exchange
has broken down the market and in
tends to keep 1t down for the bal
ance of the season.
Chase points out that the only way
te handle these fellows is to refuse
them fruit at less than dollar box
on the trees. He firmly believes the
prices will go up and that there will
be good market at good prices for
all the good fruit the State will pro-
duce. There will be no market for
c!een fruit and but little for poor
fruit.-Tampa Times.

RESOLUTIONS OF BARACA CLASS
AS TO STREET PREACHING

Whereas. our present city Ordi
nance contains a section which pro
hibits street preaching, and, where
rs, our city Council has allowed this
ordinance to remain in force, we, the
Earacca Class, of the First Baptis.
church OF Lakeland, do request the
City Council to amend the said ordi
nance, giving our mayor the power
to grant or permit street preaching.
We believe that this is violation of
constitutional rights to prohibit any
minister Of the Gospel from preach
ing the word Of God upon our
streets, as we know that much good
has been done and is being done daily
throughout our country through such
system, and we believe that this
warrants us to request the said City
Council to take immediate action
upon this ordinance.
We further resolve that a copy OF
these resolutions be mailed to the
City Council, to our pastor, and a
copy be given to the Lakeland Tele-
gram for publication. This resolu-
tion is unanimously adopted by ev-
cry member of the Baracca Glass OF
the First Baptist church. Lakeland,

ENDORSES TELEGRAM'S Posi-.
TION AS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Editor Evening Telegram: 1t ap-
pears to me that every unprejudiccd
person must be in accord with your
comments on the Shcllhamer Incl
dent in last nights paper. Mr. Shell!
hamer may have considered the or
d,hancc unjust, and possibly 1t was
broader than was intcndcd--but 80
long as it IL on the city's statute
hooks. every citizen Is under moral
az we'll as legal obligation to abide
by 1t.
As is we'll known. the ordinanre
vas intended to abate u public nui-
sancc-of ignOramuscs occupying the
public streets TO rail at the churches.
ard then take up collections for this
display Of their folly. Under the cir
cumstanccs, the mayor and marshal
only did their duty by enforcing the
law. as 1t is, without passing judg-
uhtHt ulOu NHc JuStICc VI IuJuStICC u.
il. II Mr.. Shcllhamer takes excep-
ton to the ordinance, he can take
ste ps to have ii repealed or modified,
but SO long as it stands, he ia gain
ing uncnviable notoriety by ignoring
the law and melting others to law
lossness by his example. lie may con-
seientiously 81 feel that the law is un-
Just. Another man, with still
raore elastic conscience, may claim
that the ordinance against the public
sale Of liquor is unjust, because II
interfercs with the personal liberty"
Of individuals and hence he may vio-
late it with impunity.
Of course there is no comparison
To be drawn between the action Of
those two individuals, only as to tho
fact that both are a violation of the
law, and one is under as binding OBJ
legation to keep 1t as the other.
