charge for the delivery, and we were
informed that a tax or license was re-
ouired from Mr.. Farmer Of one hun
dred dollars per year.
While it is necessary to protect the
| man in business, yet what are the par
ties that afford this protection paying
for the musical old tune of Protection?
What can the farmer see ahead OF him
when he produces beef and pork at
the above price, which has such a
profit added to the consumer. We are
all cooperative in every walk of life:
each person that handles any commod-
ity is in cooperation with the pro-
Queer and consuner-they each should
get a fair profit from their exertions
and thus add to their extension so AS
to take care OF the demands for the
future.
And the cooperative spirit that is
so planned as TO monopolize any COM
modify or exertions, either by work,
boarding OF finances or storing the
needs of life until the pound of flesh
is given is a dangerous condition for
the best interests OF the masses.
Pensacola needs market house
where the farmers can rent a stall or
booth and display his productions to
the consumers, and the cost Of this
stall or booth should be only sufficient
to pay for the actual investment OF
construction and maintenance, and the
frIils OF high class officials put in the
trash heap and destroyed; one good
honest inspector can attend to the
20 81 -
question, and couple OF janitors can
look after the general cleaning up
and the farmers clean up their own
booths
The writer had the pleasure Of going
through the market house at AsheviIle,

OF nearly every kind Of farm produc
tions down TO a fair and just margin
for the producer. and the consumer
would not have to pay the excessive
profiteering prices as mentioned be-
fore.

advised him to capture that boat in
asmuch as there were no pirate ships
to be had. Captain Kidd knew he
had no authority to do such thing
We won't he says to Moore.
This made Moore mad. In the
argument that followed Captain Kidd
hit him over the head with a wooden
bucket. A few hours later Moore
died.
This didn't help matters any. The
men became more suilen, and some
time later when a pirate ship was
sighted, they refused to obey the
captains orders to capture 1t. They
had turned pirate themselves.
Captain Kidd Returns 10 Port
shortly after this, Captain Kidd
decided that the best thing TO do
would be to return and report to his
superiors the exact state of affairs.
He sounded the crew on the matter.
Most of them refused to return. But
Captain Kidd was determined. and so,
with forty OF his men who were willing
he set sail for New York where Lord
Bellamont, the Engiishman who
headed the party which had hired
Kidd, was living.
Captain Kidd felt that while he
had not been greatly successful he had
done enough to pay the lords and
others well.
But Lord Bellamont and his friends
didn't think so. So when Captain
Kidd arrived IN New York he and
his crew were seized and sent back
to England and imprisoned. The men
were charged with piracy. and the
Captain was charged with the murder
OF Moore.
He admitted his guilt. when the
trial came up in May. I7o1. but said
that in killing Moore he had done the
right thing. for the gunner had been
a dangerous character and might have
caused the entire crew to mutiny.
But 1t was a one-si5ed trial, and
Captain Kidd, with all his money
taken from him. had no chance to
defend himself. He was sentenced to
death and, with six Of his crew, was
hung"

The question of the hour and rela-

is why it costs so much to live, and yet
the war is not the scapegoat that was
used to initiate the cost Of the needs
of life.
In looking over the advertisements in
your paper, we note the prices Of beef
and pork to the consumer; the cheap

25 to so cents; the same with pork, say
from Is to 35. Now. the best that the
