PARDrH STILL RAMPANT

Every move that Governor Pardee
has made IN the matter Of the present
extra session has meant p fresh insult
by him for Los Angeles and Southern
California. From the beginning he has
belittled and sneered at this regions
desire for legislation and has arrogant
ly ignored questions which are to It
Of vital importance.
The request of Los Angeles city and
county for a clause i'm his call making
possible legislation relative to city and
county union was turned down by the
were not enough, however, the state
executive deliberately included in his
call the very thing that Los Angeles
does not want and will not have.
Still further, however, the governor
goes in his petit. way; he offers days
extra-extra session If the Los Angeles
county delegation will frame bill
under the original call''-which he
knows is impossible, a the original call
failed to cover any action that Los
Angeles would have.
And as IL this we're not enough, the
governor now sums up the great work
of rescue and relief that various parts
of the state did for San Francisco He
enumerates cities, towns and counties,
and gratefully acknowledges their aid
But not once does he mention Los An
geles or Southern California, though
this city was the very first in the
state to send help, money and pro-
visions; though it raised ST5OOO0 for
San Francisco; though it stopped busi-
ness for days to devote all its time to
relief; though it welcomed hundreds OF
refugees and is caring for them today
without crying for a share of the funds,
as are Pardees own towns across the
bay. How petty and puerle!
An accident made Pardee governor of
California; deplorable accident, which
will never happen again. In the COVER
nors office this Alameda mole rattles
around as would a grain of mustard
seed in hogshead.

ORANGE RECORD YEAR

A few days ago an especially choice
carload of Southern California navel
oranges sold in New York at $3.50 a
fruit have been selling, during the
last two or three weeks, at prices ap-
proximatng $500 a box. Not only
navels, but all other varieties have been
commanding extremely high figures in
the eastern markets.
No wonder that our orange growers
are happy. What other agricultural
crop in the United States, Of equal cost
to cultivate, can show any approach
to the profits derived from citrus fruit
culture? Figure the net product of a
carload of oranges at So a box There
are 1862 boxes in a standard carload.
AT $5 box that would bring a gross
return of $3.50 Allowing for eighty
trees to the acre and two boxes to the
tree in grove six years old, one acre
would produce 100 boxes, which at So
each would yield a total of $500 gross.
a ten-acre grove, of course would re-
turn $4,000 at the same rate. Lump the
cost of picking, packing. transportation
and sale at $3.50 a box, and the re-
manning $3.50 box yields to the grow
er $3.50 an acre.
Such prices are very rare, of course,
and calculation on the basis of them
is interesting only as showing extreme
possibilities of profits in orange culture.
This year has been favorable for the
industry and the eastern demand for
oranges has been exceptionally strong.
1t. is red letter season in the expe-
rience of Southern California orange
growers that now is nearing the end.
except for late varieties.
But, as The Herald has shown here
tofore, no other standard crop raised
in the United States is so reliable and
so uniformly profitable as the orange
crop of this section. Such thing as
complete crop failure as so frequently
happens in other lines, never has been
known here. Within the Twenty-Five
or thirty years of commercial orange
production in this section there never
has been year when the crop, on the
average, did not yield fair profit to
the producers.
And it has been fully demonstrated
that there can be no successful COM
petition of Southern California in or
ange production, because of the pc
culiar climatic advantages of this sec
tion and the hardy, marketable quail
ity of the fruit.

MAKING CUPID CAPTIVE

T. Spence Smith OF Rapides is bound
to become famous. 1t is true, as a mat.
ter of course, to begin with, that any
man is bound to be famous who delib-
erately parts his name in the middle
But r. Spence Smith of Rapides has
done more than that He got him Sell
elected to the Louisiana legislature.
That in itself was little short of phe-
nomenal i'm a man who parts his name
i'm the middle.
Still the ambitions Of r. Spence were
not satisfied. And so he evolved a
scheme that for downright craftiness
and cunning is entitled to the cake.
Y. Spence has introduced bill pro-
viding that young men shall not be
permitted to marry under "a years of
age, Also that man of 40 or over
shall not be permitted to marry Il
woman of Is or under. Y. Spence
speaks of this measure as "a bill to
prevent race suicide" Most men will
fail to see the connection, but that will
not disturb the serenity of Mr.. Smith
of Rapides who declares he has
evolved a system" that will explain
more fully the purport and demonstra-
tion of his measure.
Fools rush in where angels fear to
tread That Is no reflection on 4.
Spence, who is apparently neither a
fool nor an angel: but it does signify
IL to1y .,
a pioneer in the realm of high matri-
monlal science.
Hitherto and heretofore it has been
understood that the game of love and
catch-can" affair. with no attendant
scientific principles whatever. 7.
Spence says that particular theory is
all wrong and that the business of
mating, for the benefit of future gem
eratons is subject to system. He
doesn't take any stock in Cupid that
runs wild like an unbroken colt. He
would prohibit Cupid from being at
large at all, unless fully broken to har-
ness, gentle, with a good pedigree, and
of such disposition that any lady can
ride or drive him.
Tut tut, Mr.. T. Spence! You are
worse than DIR. Osler, whose theory
that a man is mo good after 50, and
that thereafter he should go off quiet
ly and die of his own accord, has been
easily disproved. You can't tame
Cupid or subject the little fellow to
any of your scientific systems or theo-
ries. He may be a wild ass at times,
but he is certainly an untamable colt.
and all the laws that Louisiana and T.
Spence Smith can turn out will utter
ly fail to make captive the god of love-
He is in class by himself.
