Doesn’t he get elected sec- retary to everything under the sun Where there’s plenty of work and no salary attached? il Over 7,000,000 boxes of citrus fruit have been shipped from Florida the past season, bringing probably $9,000,000 into the State. And this is only one of many of Florida’s su- perb resources. Can°t throw a hard- times scare into a State that can turn tricks like this. PR AR All the Florida papers are brag- ging about the big watermelons that have been produced in their respec- tive sections this season. Water- melons under 50 pounds have not been considered worthy of honorable mention—unless brought as a votive to the editor’s sanctum, when any respectable melon will be given full meed of praise. 0- It won'’t be many years until cir- cular and bill-board advertising will | be one of the earmarks of a village. Advertisers in all the considerable cities are more and more confining their publicity quest to the medium of the newspapers. The Garrick theater in Chicago, and the Shuberts, of New York, are the latest con- verts to the superiority of newspa- per advertising to the bil] boards, and will use the former method ex- clusively, 0 Will some one kindly furnish the information why it is necessary for the Democratic president, or the Democratic campaign leaders to promise some of the best ofices in the country to negroes? The state- ment is made that the president is compelled to appoint a negro as re- corder of deeds for the District of Columbia because of a promise to this effect. Why was such a prom- ise made? The office in question is an important one. In it are em- ployed many white men and women, and we can not see why a negro should be at its head. This paper is free from race prejudice, and at all times urges a fair deal for the negro. There is no objection to the negro receiving proper recognition, but the policy of segregating the races in the departments and other federal offices is a good one and should be carried out. The rank and file of the De- mocracy certainly never authorized nor does it approve of such promises as the president claims to be bound. The Tampa Tin(l‘(‘s queries “if or- anges are made common the year round, will they be as highly prized and bring as good prices now?” “You cannot make an orange common—not the Florida golden russet, anyway. Custom cannot stale the matchless quality of this peer- less fruit, nor tire the palate to which it is a joy forever. A quail a day for thirty a gastronomic enormity, we grant vou; but ten or- anges a day for a hundred—aye, a thousand—days, and the last of tha. series of delightful collations will be the best! Each recurrent attack upon the golden globules, bursting with liquid sweetness, is a joy re- newed and enhanced. Give us or- anges every day in the year, and as they do days more oranges—until unto the most remote parts of the country they shall have brought their benediction of health and happiness to those who had not known their sweetness and goodness before. It is the natural right of thousands, who have never or rarely flooded their the joyous juices of this golden gift of the gods, to have oranges brought into their lives and placed within their financial and gustatorial reach; and he is, indeed, a benefactor to the race who makes it possible for two oranges to be caten by him whose custom was to eat only ome or nene before. palates with The tvemng Telegram|* Yomams view | one thing that seems strange to the northern man in Florida. He soon is convinced of the very great superiority of the Florida oranges compared to those he has been accustomed to at home. He wonders why his home dealers always buy California fruits? Some C(California fruits are good. They produce fine prunes, grapes and olives. The oranges are thick skinned and tasteless, or too sour as compared with the sweet, russet- coated beauties that he finds on the peninsula. People eat oranges in Florida because they are delicious.
