Peaches Safe
So Say Some,

Inere is u WHOle lou Oh UNNECESSARY
croaking and crying about the report
ed loss of the fruit crop in the Grand
valley, due to the very cold weather
of the past two weeks
The writ IT has never believed that
there was a total failure or that there
would be even a half failure of the
fruit crop. Some people revel in
disaster. They like to tell gloomy
story of what damage has been done
to their fruit, just to engender sympa-
thy. The Sentinel run up against u
fruit grower this morning, who is so
we'll known that what he has to say
about fruit failure will ll'carry weight,
every word of it.
1t was Robert A. Orr, one of the
most successful growers in Mesa coun-
ty or in fact in the western part of
the state. He did not desire to be
quoted but said that if there was any
satisfaction to the public in what he
said, he did not care if The Sentinel
gave the readers his individual opin-
ion.
The first question asked Mr.. Orr
was whether he believed there would
be a total failure of the fruit crop
He answered emphatically NO" In
part he said. The tender variety of
peaches he thought were probably
frosted considerably but he did not
believe that the harder and semi
harder varieties were in the least
damaged. In speaking of the fruit in
the upper valley near Palisade he
said, 81 do not believe they have suff
cred in the least. -
Speaking of other fruits he said.
1.-THE apples, pears, plums and hard
ly think even the apricots have been
injured. The grapes, strawberries,
blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries
are not in the least injured and if we
do lose some of the tenderer variety
of peaches, we will have large
CROP
Now everybody knows Robert A.
Orr would not go on record as he has,
if lie did not believe that what he
said was the absolute truth He is a
man most conservative in all his bust
ness relations and The Sentinel is glad
to place the matter as it really is be-
| fore the public. Already. from our
own talk and cries of disaster it has
gone out through the state that our
| entire fruit crop, including every
| variety of fruit has been killed. which
is not fact in the least. Some peo-
ple always have to make a great dis
play of any little disaster in which
they are concerned. who always carry
their trouble ON their sleeves and it
is to head off the calamity howlers
that this paper has secured this state
ment from Mr.. Orr and it can be re-
lied ON as the truth in every particu-
lar. as his words are the result of in
vestigation of his own and many other
orchards.

SUPREME COURT.
Decision in Fuller Case Given

jackson, Nov. 24.-The supreme
court at it's session last evening rem
dered decision OF affirmation in the
case of Charles Fuller VS.. state. ap'
pealed from The circuit court or Hinds
county. a cuase that has acquired
some celebrity during the past rev
months. Fuller is a member OF the
gambling fraternity in Jackson, and
was convicted of running gambling
house and sentenced to pay a hne o.
$500 Section 1922 of the annotated
code provide, that when a prisoner
fails to pay fine he shall go to Jail
for q period of twenty days, and then
claimed that he met the sentence OF
the court and was entitled to his lib
erty, and could not be compelled to
pay the fine imposed
In rendering the decision it was re-
marked with some sarcasm that a
prisoner cannot dictate to the court
the nature Of the sentence that he
shall undergo, and that the serving
OF twenty days in jail did not wipe
out the fine imposed, and That the fine
must be paid Following are the de-
cisions rendered by the court:

New evidences of fraud in the Indian
Territory are coming to light almost
daily, but Secretary Hitchcock, who claims
to have been aware Of the existing abuses
ever since last May, has not yet found a
man whom be deems competent to con-
duct the investigation ordered by the
President. The Secretary has also claimed
that he had been conducting an investiga-
ton for months, but when asked to verify
this statement he has been able to prove
only that last July he asked certain man
to undertake an investigation and that
this man refused. The efforts of the
Treasury officials to secure from Secretary
Hitchcock an accounting of the funds &C
cruing from the sale of town lots in Law
ton, Hobart and Anadarko, Oklahoma,
have thus far proved unavailing. The
Secretary refuses to recognize any author
ity of the auditors to ask an accounting
and, as Comptroller of the Treasury Trace
well is away on his vacation, no further
action has been taken in the premises.

The importance of Delaware to repub'
lican presidential candidate is consider
able and Mr. Roosevelt appreciates that
and has been making every effort to secure
the support of the State, even to the ex-
tent of treating with the notorious Ad-
dicks. Delaware is sixth On the roll call
of States and the first, save perhaps Cali
fornia, where the delegation is likely to
vote other than unanimously. Unanimous
votes during the early part of the roll call
are most important to candidate because
they are likely to stampede the convention
in his favor. Soon after Mr.. Payne be-
came Postmaster General he announced
in an interview published in these letters
that, thereafter, fourth class postmasters
shall be governed by the merit system
and none shall be dismissed for political
reasons" In view of this fact, the ex-
ception just made in Delaware and in
favor of an Addicks Senator is most sig
nifcant. It is also worthy of note, in this
connection, that at the election Of next
fall the legislature which will select sue
cessor to Senator Ball will be voted for.
If present plans do not miscarry that
election will result in the vote of the State
for Roosevelt and for an Addicks legisla-
ture. That is the program, but it is more
than possible that one energetic woman,
Miss Hulda Todd, may once more demon
strate that the "deep laid schemes of mice
and men, etc"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., September 18th.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 18th.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-Out of clear Delaware
sky has arisen cloud which gives promise
of becoming a cyclone, causing havoc and
disaster to the Roosevelt popularity in
that State. Miss Hulda B. Todd, post
master, or must we say postmistress, at
Greenwood, DEL, has been removed from
office at the behest of S enator Alice, the
Addicks representative in the Senate, and
the consequences of the removal promise
to be dire. According to the residents of
Greenwood Miss Todd made a thoroughly
efficient postmaster and according to Sen
ator Ball she has been the best postmaster
Green wood ever had. Nevertheless, she
was summarily dismissed by Postmaster
General Payne. She came to Washington
to learn the occasion of her dismissal after
a service that covered five years and Mr..
Payne told her she was "personally OBJ
noxious to Senator Alice" Since then
Postmaster General Payne has explained
that by mutual agreement Senator Ball
was to control the federal patronage for
New Castle county and Senator Alice that
for Kent and Sussex counties. Miss Todd
was an "anti- Addicks republican" in Sus-
sex county and of course Senator Alice
claimed the right to name her successor.
The anti Addicks republicans have now
appealed the case to the President, asking
if the welfare of the Addicks machine
must be regarded as sufficient reason for
Diminishing an efficient federal employee.
If Mr.. Roosevelt supports the Postmaster
General he will incur the enmity of all the
anita ddicks republicans and of all the
respectable element in the community. II
he reinstates Miss Todd he will incur the
enmity of Addicks. In either case his
action will split the Delaware delegation
to the next republican national conven-
ton.
Acting Attorney General McReynolds
has announced that he, some weeks ago,
put in operation an investigation of all
the employees of the Department of Justice
in the Indian Territory, including four
United States attorneys, their assistants,
marshals and others. Mr.. Mercy
also admits that there are grave charges
against his subordinates which have not
heretofore come to light, including the
allegation that they have shared in the
profits from illegal liquor selling, have
secured commission on the contracts for
feeding prisoners and have prostituted
their trusts in several other ways. That
the court situation in the Territory is de-
plorable is the testimony of all who have
lived there or who have attempted to con-
duct case before the Territorial courts,
aud it is predicted that the results of this
investigation will prove most startling.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1903-09-11

The officials in charge of the Postotfice
investigation promise more important in
dictments in the near future. An appar-
ent attempt to let the investigation die
out recently met with such storm OF in
dignant editorials from the republican as
well as from the democratic press that
there seems to be renewed energy instilled
into the situation, and the promise OF
"more indictments is received in good
faith. 1t is not judicious to say against
whom these indictments arc to be rem
dered, but it may be said that they concern
the legal end of the Postofficc Department
