Senator Cooper Advocates a Pro-
tective Tariff for Florida Fruits

Writing to the Tampa Times,
Aug 10Th, Senator f. M. Cooper
of this city, says:
During my recent visit to your
delightful and prosperous city,
which, by the way, is an old time
friend Of mine, for which the
heart chords still thrill and vib-
rate on occasions like the last, in
| a conversation with you | men,
toned the fact that ] thought
Florida was being handicapped
by the West Indies, as she would
be by Mexico as soon as they
should have settled their home
troubles, in raising for the north
ern and western markets winter
and spring vegetables, this would
also apply to fruits of the citrus
varieties now being raised in
Florida.
81 gave as my reasons, first that
transportation was higher with us,
being more than double, according
to the best information ! have up
to this fine. Second, that their
lands were richer than ours as a
rule and required little or no fer
tilizer. Third, their labor was a
great deal cheaper and they could
plant all kinds of vegetables at
any time during the winter with
out fear of being killed or injured
by frost.
II felt complimented to see in
your issue of the 18th, the day
after our conversation, that you
mentioned editorially the subject
and was gratified to know that
you agreed with me in believing
that something should be done to
relieve the situation.
"Tn your issue of August 18th ]
am rather severely criticised by
Mr.. III. w. Illman of st. Cloud,
Fla, who seems to be a man of ex-
tensive knowledge and forceful
writer, with whom ! would be de-
lighted to become acquainted if he
were not such an III man.
"He is inclined to think that ev-
en- can see the absurdity of ap-
pealing to congress by petitions
to our representatives for a pro-
tective tariff on our citrus and
other fruits and vegetables and
hints that | might be share hold
er in railroad stocks. 'Tis con-
devoutly to be desir-
ed but so far / regret to say !
have not yet attained to it and
with reluctance win have to ac-
that am one Of the
growers who, Mr.. lllman says does
not seem to have sense enough TO
ook out for himself, but is doing
al he can to help the other fellow
graft off him. If this protective

riding in Pullman or private cars.
| 81 am glad Mr.. Illman said this,
for right here | take occasion to
say that it behooveS all such sense
less ones as | to join the Florida
Citrus exchange and as we are in
THE majority, thereby create a
Iforceful organization through
which we can demand our rights
by appealing to the interstate
commerce commission, the rail
road commission, the Florida leg
islature and the United States
congress for relief from the exorb-
liant freight rates we have to pay
ON our fruits and vegetables and
for this bugaboo protective tariff,
at which Mr.. Illman balks so
lstubbornly. Without this tariff, /
venture to assert that the trans
Iportation companies might place
these products in the New York
market free of charge and then !
do not believe we will be able to
compete with the West Indian
grower with his fertile land, his
frostless climate, his cheap la
Dor and his cheap transportation,
Il believe in controlling rail
roads, but / do not believe in rob-
bing them or confscating their
properties.
"To become public benefactor
Mr.. lllman advises me to study
freight rates; | will say to the
gentleman that | have done lit
tie Of this, mot with the view,
however, of becoming a public
benefactor, but | have had it fore
ed upon me like most everything
else that know a little about. To
show the gentleman that | have
given the matter some thought
and have had some experience, /
will exhibit one of my graduating
papers which is in the form of a
sale made by A. f. Young & Co.,
of New York city:
Sold for account of F. NJ.
Cooper of Punta Gorda, Fla, on
May 4, 1915, twenty-three boxes
of cukes for $67.75. The charges
and commission amounted to $780,
10, leaving for Cooper $31.65 and
as usual the little end of the horn. !
"Mr. Illman says he came to
Florida from the extreme north
west almost year ago. Unlike |
this gentleman, ] have been in
Florida all my life and in consid-
ering and thinking over the great |
variety of people who have come
into the state from abroad during
that time, for all / know Mr.. Ill
man might be one of those who
take advantage of our climate and
good government to keep his re-
sidence here and own stock in
some West Indian vegetable and
fruit company. He balks power
fully at the word tariff" +"

Upited States department of agrl-
cuA is warning sportsmen that
thtshSaral regulations as amend
ed October 1, 1914, will be strict
ly enforced. Some misunderstand-
ing has arisen from the fact that
the various state laws do not al
ways conform to the federal reg
ulations. This is regarded as un-
fortunate but in such cases the de-
partment must insist upon the OBJ
servance of the federal regula-
tions.
The department will consider
any recommendations submitted
in good faith for amendment OF
the regulations, but will hold no
public hearings thereon, nor will
it amend the regulations prior to
October Is, 1915. 1t is the pur-
pose of the department to conform
the regulations to the wishes OF
the majority of the sportsmen so
far as it can be done at the same
time give wild fowl the necessary
protection.
Federal regulations divide the
United States into two zones.
Zone No. l, the breeding zone, in
cludes the states of Oregon, Idaho,
Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, and all other states
north of them. Zone No. 2, the
wintering zone, includes all states
south of those named.
The regulations prescribe sea-
sons as follows:

SIRED ON QUESTIONS FOR

Special to The Daily Leader.

Specldl 10 Inc Ddlly LeduSA.
Oklahoma City, Nov. 5.-Governor
Williams is considering the special
session question from various angles
and is seeking all the advice that he
can secure from members and SEN
ators. In addition to the interviews
that he has had with members OF the
legislature, the governor will send
letters to all of them, asking q list Of
questions as to views of the lawmak-
ers on several matters that are OF
moment in the premises. These let
ters will go out this week. They will
inquire as to the election laws, usury
laws, management Of industries in the
prisons, highway laws and several
other matters that have been consid-
cred as subjects for a special session.
So far most members who have dis
cussed a probable special session
with the governor have urged it.
The exceptions are limited to two or
three.
The outlook seems to be favorable
for a rather harmonious session.
There are no indications that the leg
islative and executive departments
are other than harmonious, and the
well-known attitude of Governor VIII
liams toward public questions seems
to make it probable that members of
the legislature, who are all familiar
with his views, are willing to meet
them in a receptive mood. as they
did last winter.
The fact tnat there will be oppor-
tunity to go into many matters of pub

DEFENSE IS REVERSAL
OF NATIONAL POLICY
SAYS FORMER SECRETARY IN
CRITICIZING PRESIDENTS
ADDRESS
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 5.--F'ormer Secre
tary of State VIM j. Bryan came Out
squarely today against President VIII
sons national defense plan, in form
al statement in which he took issue
with the Presidents view as express
ed last night before the Manhattan
club Of New York.
a"It is a departure from our tradi-
tions, reversal Of our national pol
icy, menace to our peace ana safety
and challenge to the spirit of the
christianity, which teaches us to in
fluence others by an example rather
than by exciting fear" is Bryan's view
of the national defense plan.
Bryan's statement is regarded as
the opening gun in the fight which
the administration leaders expect in
congress, against the adoption Of the
Wilson plan.

DR.. Smiley, Thursday evening, gave
strong, clear exposition OF the Pure
and Undefiled Religion as in contra
distinction with the ordinary product
of the day, which has been so strongly
adulterated by contact with the pa
ganistic and agnostic articles as to be
hardly recognized. "The children Of
God have gone over to the ways and
methods OF the children of the world
and have become contaminated with
the brand approved OF the devil so
that God can not recognize 1t as being
in any manner related to what He
gave to man. You can not handle
pitch without having some Of the
filthy stuff stick to your hands. You
can never win sinners to God by going
to their card parties; you will soon be
as deep in the mud as they are in the
mire; all will be lost together in the
whirlpool Of adulterated religion

VIII King Be Able To Keep
Greece Out Of War?

Paris, Nov. Greek entrance into
the war was regarded here today as
almost certain to follow the overthrow
of the zaimis cabinet, announced Of
fielally in dispatches from Athens.
Eleutherious Venizelos, whom Zaimis
succeeded, and who assuredly will, in
turn, succeed the latter, is known as a
war advocate, and the presumption is
that, back in office as premier, he will
force the country into the struggle
very quickly.
Nevertheless, it is recalled that King.
Constantine has twice prevented this,
but that the Greek ruler, unable to
keep the pro-war premier out OF office,
will continue to resist. in view Of the
latest development, is deemed highly
unlikely.
