fore have unusual significance at the
present time. The crop prospects on
the other side of the Atlantic are more
promising than they were year ago,
and for that reason certain amount
of shrinkage in our wheat crop would
perhaps insure better returns to the
farmer than too abundant yield.
The Presidents speech delivered at
jamestown did not have any effect on
the market, as neither the bulls nor the
bears were able to utilize any of It's
expressions for their speculations.
Both sides had flooded Wall Street
during the week with reports shaped
to suit their own purposes as to what
the President would say on the rail-
road situation. His failure to refer to
tho question, even in the most remote
manner has been met in Wall Street
by the explanation that speech
which he had prepared on the sub
iect is to be delivered on some future
occasion. The fact Is that Wall Street
has about got over it's nervousness
over President Roosevelt's railroad
policies. It feels satisfied that what
ever steps he may take to stamp out
the railroad abuses in tho country
they Will not be retroactive. In other
words, he Will do nothing to injure or
destroy the existing value OF railroad
securities.

FLORIDA'S HARD LUCK

Detailed reports of the recent cold
wave in Florida show that the result
was more disastrous than early ac-
counts indicated. The original state
ment that the oranges still on the trees
were killed is supplemented now by
news that even the trees were killed in
many districts. The setback to the
orange industry is so serious that it
is said growers are utterly discouraged.
The later reports state that the freez
ing temperature has done an meal
culable amount of injury to orange
groves clear to the southern extremity
of the orange belt" It is said that
planters who have invested all their
capital in orange groves are staring
ruin in the face" While only about
one fourth of the years crop was still
on the trees the report says that the
greatest loss will come through the
destruction of the trees, which crack
and become barren after being frozen"
The loss of one-fourth of the crop
would be trivial, relatively, after the
successful marketing of the three
fourths, but the destruction of
the trees is irreparable. In or
der TO re-estabhsh the orange in
dustry when the misfortune has oc-
CURED it will be necessary to begin
anew, planting nursery trees after hav-
ing uprooted the old ones That means
a lapse of at least five or six years be-
fore fruit bearing of commercial pro-
portions.
Orange culture in Florida has been
stunted in this manner three or four
times since the industry became an i'm
portant factor in supplying the north
ern markets, Just when the stage Of
profitable production was reached, on
each occasion, phenomenal cold wave
like the recent one, would sweep over
the state and blight the groves in a
night At no time since the beginning
of extensive orange culture in Florida
has the business been regarded as
stable, owing to the likelihood Of such
disaster as was recently experienced.

SLAVERY OF MADAM EDITOR"

few days ago the madam editor OF
the Timpson Times, commenting on
the news item that n girl In Chicago
offered to sell herself as slave be-
cause she was unable to make more at
labor than the bare bread to sustain
life, suggested that the girl ought to
marry and thus. ihferentially, secure
slavery without the barter and sale.
Now here Is what she says which Is
explanatory of her remarks few days
ago:
Conditions are even worse today.
The editor gone to Dallas, both daily
and weekly editions to print and mail.
and only three hands to do 1t; the
paper late, and at noon there was an
hours chase to get the family cow
into the pen again. But the madam
has learned that the best way to get
work done is to do 1t. and weeping
and wailing never help any"
Which is a philosophy which will
content at least. For If she had taken
a seat near the cow pen and cried
till her eyes were scalded with their
hot tears, the COW would not have
come to the pen to dry such tears
