Un- doubtedly in many cases he doesn’t get fair treatment, but mortal man is always seeking for a goat upon whom te saddle the burden of his own shortcoming, and in many cases the commission man is not in fault and the grower is to blame. What R. P. Burton, sales manager of the Florida Citrus Exchange, has to say on this subject is the testimony of one with superior sources of informa- tion, and in the Florida Grower Mr. Burton has this to say which may not be pleasant reading for some growers but probably has plenty of truth in it: “It is time to dismiss from the pub- lic mind the rot about the average grower being robbed by some com- mission concern in the eastern and There have heen " men of shady character engaged in the commission business, who have in former geasons robbed some grow- ers in Florida, but for every commis- slon concern of this character which has robbed a grower you can find a hundred growers who, from lack of proper understanding of the correct methods of handling citrus fruits— have robbed themselves by misman- agement, and who are glad of an ex- cuse to lay the blame upon some one else. It is high time that the grow- ers in Florida use their own brains and investigate for themselves con- ditions as they exist, and why they oxist.” ——— e We have wondered at the inten: eity of the opposition to Senator Fletcher in ‘¢értain quarters because of the custom house issue between Jacksonville and Tampa. The sen- ator’s action in that matter seems to us to be no gauge whatever of his merits in view of the fact that he is not the special representative of any section of the State, although, as in the case referred to, it was necessary that one of the two cities should get the plum. lie is néither a criminal nor a derelict, nor a traitor to Tam- pa, because of the reorganization of the customs districts and that ques- tion has nothing whatever to do with his claims upon the people of Flor- ida to re-election. It is a false issue and should be dismissed from further consideration as much ado about a matter that has no place in the sen- atorial campaign. The Tarpon Springs Leader takes the rizht view of the matter when it says: “The Tampa opposition to Senator Fletcher appears to be based wholly upon the allegation that the senator is responsible for the reorzanization of the Florida customs districts and which was inimical to Tampa's inter- ests. The senator pleads not guil- - ty, but appears unable to acquit him- self to Tampa’s satisfaction. But granting that he is guilty, hasn't the change brought the greatest good to the greatest number and because the lesser number suffer, perhaps, should the most influential and generally helpful senator that Florida has ever had be turned down?” ECREES — Harry Thaw will probably be re- leased on bail until his case on the habeas corpus proceedings can be heard, and some of those who have testified against him profess to be scared and fear his vengeance. This is nonsense. Harry is just as sane as the average man and always has been. His killing of White for de- 3 _bauching his wife was no proof of insanity; but it has given him such & dose of high-priced justice that he'in Miami against the F. E.
