Secretary Josepl1us Daniels
Is Some Idol Breaker.

What do you think OF Josephus DAN
iels. secretary OF the navy. anyway
He not only advocates that the gov
eminent build its battleships at gov
eminent navy yards and msnufa cture
its own armor plate at government
factories, but now he suggests that
the, government might with profit own
and develop its own oil fields and OPP
crate its own rehneries
Why does not somebody begin to
shout ..paternalism ?" What does such
a policy as this mean for vested
rights?'' who il going to take charge
of this country Il we relieve the steel
trust and the Standard OIL Company
OF their present responsibilities for
controlling prices and shaping 1egisla-
tion? And whittier are we drifting any
how?
Secretary Daniels, OF course. Is prob
ably right about these things, but has
he stopped to think about the pen
alties usually inflicted on the man who
is right? He has our best wishes and
IL he succeeds in doing what he has
set out to do. he can have most any
thing else that the American people
have to bestow.

Another Example Of
+. Il MS Discrimination.

The people OF West Florida are
pretty familiar with the arbitrary
anethcds ot the Z. & n. railroad and
with It's long standing policy Of dis
crimination against the business inter-
ests Of Pensacola. Here il another Elk
SIMPLE OF that discrimination.
Some months ago J Clark Porter
established a lumber yard in the city.
re tried to get 4 location on the Z.
IL n tracks, because most of his busi-
ness originated on the line Of that
road. Such locations are limited. how
ever. and not being able to get what
he wanted he finally secured . place

Route in the western part Or the city.

trouble with the L. 81 N. In securing
lumber shipped to his yard. but that
company absolutely refuses to handle
any shipmnts from his yard for ships
side delivery at its wharves the rea-
son given being that the shipments
originate on q competing line.
This would seem to be bad enough.
but an even worse example OF discrimi-
nation recently developed. Mr.. Porter
had received q car OF lumber from the
T.. q N. and had unIoaded a portion OF
it on his yard. The balance or the
lumber remained on the car and he
desired to have it delivered to the
steamer Blankdale. then finishing car
so at the L. q N. Tarragona street
wharf
Although the lumber was on the
same car which the Z. &c n. delivered
to Mr.. Porter and although 1t had
never been un1oaded and although he
was ready to pay the switching
charges. the L q n. refused to re-
ceive and deliver the car to the ship
at its wharf. Mr.. Porter was there
fore compelled to lighter the lumber
from the Deep Water Route wharf
across TO the steamer and at a cost Of
iishterage and towage that of course.
destroyed his profits.
How Is that FOR an example OF high
handed and arbitrary discrimination in
the administration OF public service
utility?
And yet WI wonder why men with
money to invest refuse to locate pro-
ductive industries in Pensaccla5.

the hardworked postal clerks. carriers
and other employees are also entitled
to some consideration. hence the ad-
vice to mail your Christmas presents
as soon as possible. If they win reach
their destination earlier than you think
necessary. YOU can mark them to be
opened on a certain date. and the an
taclpation on the part Of the recipient
viii be all the stronger. Save the
postal employees an embarrassment OF
work and observe the following rules:
Parcel post packages should be pre-
pared so that examination Is easy. Do
not place seals of any kind where the
Irvine crosses unless you wish the
receiver OF the gift to be charged with
the postage lacking. Placing seals
thus would make the matter first class.
DO not place any br,+ the regulation
postage stamps on the address side of
the letter or package. This Is car
tlinaI rule of the holidays. Christmas
seals may be used on the reserve side,
however.
Packages containing fragile goods
should be SO marked.
No writing is allowed on parcel post
packages except such words AZ Christ
mas Greetings" Happy New Year
and the name OF the sender.
Regulations require that a parcel
post package bear the name and ad-
dress OF both the sender and the adj
dress.
The observance OF these simple
rules will save both the public and
the postal ofacials a vast amount OF
work and annoyance. Much is said
about the overworked sales people. They
are by no means the only ones who
are taxed to their utmost capacity |
during the holiday season.
