RESTRICTIONS REMOVED
 FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
The Law Affecting the Use of Sulphur
 in Curing Fruit Suspended for 1908.

San Francisco, March 1.-The fol- lowing telegram was received today from Arthur R. Briggs president of the California Beard of Trade, and chair man of the Fruit Growers Executive committee who. went to Washington Ito endeavor to secure from the agicul- tural department an official announce ment of the suspension of ruling 76 made in official announcement No. s9 some days ago that 1t should prevail throughout the season of 1908. He was successful and secured an officially signed declaration from Secretary Will son of the agricultural department that for the fruit season of 1908 accord ing to ruling S9. there would be no governmental interference either with the curing or marketing of the crop.
 This puts the whole matter under the general operation of the pure food law without regard to the proportion of sulphur used as far as the crop for 1908 is concerned. It lets the deter imitation of the permissible amount of sulphur by the referee board to be- come effective after 1908 as may be ordered. This means millions to the fruit drying industry in California and other states as we'll.

SAlTON SEA CLAIM

A Short House Conference to See What Could Be Done About Set tIement.

Washington. March 11.-An import ant conference was held at the White House tonight between President Roosevelt. Secretary of the Interior Garfield and Maxwell Evarts and H. T. Corey, representing the Southern Pa cific railroad company, to see if there could be brought about a settlement of the claim of the company for making repairs in the big break of the Colo rado river about a year ago which formed the Salton sea, when the lives and property of American citizens in the Imperial valley in California were threatened.
 After conferences between the va riOus interests at the time the presi- dent and E. H. Hartman reached an agreement that the Southern Pacific should have the work done and the president would use his influence to have the road reimbursed. The South ern Pacific made a claim of s1,6O0,O00 and the settlement has been deferred for some time. Senator Flint of Cali fornia has introduced a bill providing for the payment of the claim,

Grover Cleveland

Jews throughout the world will de-
sire to bear their tribute of respect to
the great eX-President of the United
States whose funeral took place re
Gently. The keynote of Grover Clevc-
lands life was devotion to what he
regarded as the right When once he
had made up his mind that certain
course was just one. he pursued it
with fearless tenacity. Hence it was
that he vetoed an Immigration Bill
which contained an obnoxious educa-
tion test. his declaration on that occa-
sion remaining Il memorial statement
which all restrictioniSts should read.
Hence. too. his vigorous dcnunciation
of the anti-.Jewish atrocities in Rus
sia. 1t is not so long since notable
declaration fell from his lips in rela-
tion to the Jewish people. 1t was on
the occasion of the celebration of the
25Oth anniversary of the settlement
of the Jews in the United States. and
the ringing sentences i'm which he paid
homage to the work and influence of
his Jewish fcllow-citiZens will not
readily be forgotten. Cleveland was.
in fact. too just and broad-mindcd Il
man to be accessible to petty pre-
judiceS that move lesser personalities.
He was Il far-seeing statesman whose
great mental sweep took in the salient
facts of life. and who had thus
formed wise view as to what the at
titude of the nations towards our peo-
pie should be. Long may men of this
caliber continue to rule the dcstinieS
of the mighty people with whose for
tunes the future of continually in
creasing section of Jews is inter

NEW YORK.

The prolonged hot spell is being at
tended by an alarming increase in the
infant death rate in both Manhattan
and Brooklyn. The greater number
of deaths have occurred not in MaH
haitian but in Brooklyn. which has
only about half the infant population
of the sister borough That IA great
many of such deaths were in Browns
vile is significant of the fact that con-
ditiOns in that district are becoming
as mcnacing to health as on the East
Side of Manhattan.
Earnest effort is being made to-
ward an amelioration of conditions in
Brownsville. for it is feared that I'M
less overcrowding in that section is
checked. general suffering will be the
result. Many eXpedients are being re-
sorted to to make the alien in both
borOughs understand that ovcrcrowd-
ing retards the acquisition of the
English language, to say nothing of
the obstacles to health and material
progress: but he sees only what APP
pears to him to be sociable companion-
ship and the contiguity of the syna-
gOgue. The Jew is not usually slow
to seize on points that indicate. bu:
in the matter of segregation and dis
persion the charitable workers ell
counter difficult obstacles. Beside the
lack of light and air, the scarcity Of
Straus milk stations in Brownsville
is given by the charitable workers as
one of the causes for the high death
rate There is undoubtedly in Brook
lyn a great lack of facility for pro-
viding free pasteurized milk. There
are eighteen Straus milk stations in
Manhattan to one in Brooklyn. lit
addition to the Straus milk stations in
Manhattan there are also thirty-three
supply stations maintained by charit-
able organizations, against the six

FURNISHING REASONS FOR ITS
OWN DISSOLUTION
Ocala, June 3. 1908.

Ocaa, June 3, 1908.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Mr.. J. s. Bitch, in a communica-
ton in the Star. in attacking Gilchrist,
says that there is a concentrated eff
fort TO do away with the primary sys-
TEN, and that that horrid thing known
as the Times Union is the author, con-
centratOr, OF ring leader, and that Gill
christ is we'll known TO favor cOnven-
tons. That there is such a conceu-
trated effort is news to me, but very
welcome news, and ! would like 10
help the cause along. and join in an
effort to abolish state primaries at
least. if not county primaries. Mr.
Bitch has (perhaps unwittingly) fur
nished most excellent reasons, and the
charge in the following paragraph, if
true, is enough to damn the primary
system:
The supporters of all candidates
agree there has never before, since re-
construction times, been quite 50
much open and brazen corruption re-
sorted to by the supporteds of the
railroad candidates"
This has reference TO the vote in
Duval county. He charges that the
railroads exercised much more influ-
ence that the saloons, and that the
East Coast Railway instructed it's en-
ployes to trade votes on local candi-
dates for votes for Gilchrist.
Could the convention system be
charged with anything worse than M.
Bitch has charged against the pr
mary system?
He calls attention to the fact that
more than One-fourth of the votes
cast for Gilchrist came from Duval
and HiIlsborough counties, where
corrupt Influences are so powerful.
In a state convention. could these
two cOrruptly influenced counties fur
nish more than one-fourth of the del
gates? Certainly not.
Suppose a state convention was ap-
portioned on the vote for United
States senator in the last primary, one
delegate for each 100 votes cast. It
would be composed of 534 delegates,
of which HiIsborough would have SO
and Duval IS, or less than IS per cent
a difference of over Z per cent. in IA
vor of conventions.
The bitterness exhibited in our local
press is enough to disgust anyone
with primaries. 1t is time to call a
halt. w. w. CLYATT.

THE OLD GAG

Mr.. ]. S. Bitch, writing TO the Oca'a
Evening Star from Montbrook, re-
peats the worm eaten story about
Flagler's East Coast Railway instruct
ing its employees for whom TO vote.
Mr.. Bitch says that the railroads AMI
the rum sellers are endeavoring u
control the primary in the interest II
General Gilchrist.
Mr.. Bitch says that the returns Of
the first primary show that Mr.. Gill
christ received more than one-f fourth
of his entire vote in Hillsborough ani
Duval counties. He wants to know il
| the voters of Florida are going 10
stand idly by and see Tampa and Jack
sOnville dominate Florida politics. H.
says that when the saloon and corpor-
alton votes were not concentrated and
where corrupt influences were not 50
powerful that Mr.. Stockton received a
larger vote than did Mr.. Gilchrist.
The figures, however, do not sus-
tain Mr.. Bitch in his statement
Take Mr.. Blitch's own county, for
example. Levy is a dry county IL
went for Mr.. Stockton in the cam
paign four year sage. In the recent
primary the vote stood: For Gilchrist,
416; for Stockton, 262.
| 1t will be borne in mind also that
since the primary four years ago Mr..
Stockton has resided in Levy county
a portion of the time and did an ex-
| tensive business there. The figures
will also show that in Alachua, which
| is a dry county. that Mr.. Gilchrist'5
vote was larger than Mr.. Stocktons
1t was likewise larger in Baker, Brad
ford, Clay. Columbia, DeSOto, GadS-
den, Jefferson. Lafayette. Lake Leon.
Madison, Orange, Manatee, Putnam,
Suwannee-all dry counties-but in
the wet counties of Escambia, Ma
rion. Monroe and Lee, Mr.. Stockton
received a larger vote than Mr.. Gil
christ.
So it will be seen that all the wet
counties are not for Mr.. Gnchrist, nor
are all the dry counties for Mr.. Stock
| ton.
A large percentage Of the dry vote
however, is for Mr.. Stockton, but IT IS
not because of Mr.. Gilchrists record
along this line is not every whit as
good as that of his opponent. and 4
man ought not to be slain in the house
of his friends. 1t is wrong, and good
people ought not TO be a party to it,

COL. MILLER INTERVIEWED

Col L P. Miller, who resides a few
miles south OF Ocala, is one Of Mr..
Fletcher's most active and jealous
supporters, and has been so since he
first became acquainted with this en-
inent lawyer and splendid statesman.
Col. Miller leans toward Mr.. Fetch
er because, after having studied his
character, he has become thoroughly
convinced that he is a clean and up
right man, and possesses all the Quai-
iications to make a fit representative.
Col Miller has been very Industrious
in feeling the pulse-beat of the voters
Of this vicinity since the recent pri-
mary. and in answer To a question
propounded TO him by the editor Of
this paper why he is so confident tina:
Mr.. Fletcher will receive more votes
for United States senator in the pri-
mary of June 16, than Governor Brow
ard, he says:
by the official returns OF the dem
ocratic primary of May 19. Mr.. Fetch
er received 17.2OS votes; Governor
Broward, 1908, showing a difference
OF 1870 in favor Of Governor Brow
ard.
The vote of Messrs. Lamar ana
Beard aggregate 1874. These gen.
tlemen are out of the second race.
Their vote will be divided between
Fletcher and Broward.
Now comes the quetsion who will
get the long division?
MY answer is Fletcher.
why do l say this?
Il have been making a careful can
vass Of the Lamar and Beard vote as
far as it applies to Marion county. /
have learned Of but two Lamar and
/ Beard votes going to Broward. The
almost invariable reply of voters il
answer to my question is: I am going
to vote for Fletcher This appears to
be the natural drift of the Lamar and
| Beard vote, for ! am satisfied that 4
large majority have not yet learned
! that Mr.. Fletcher has received assur-
ances from both Messrs. Lamar AMI
Beard that they will vote for him in
the second primary.
why should not these gentlemen
vote for Duncan L. Fletcher?
They know the individual charac-
ter Of both Mr.. Fletcher and Govern
or Broward.
Il have no interest in the matter ex-
/ cept the interest that all good citizens
should have. 1 have cast my lot with
the people Of Florida. The representa-
| tives We send to congress go as the
representatives of the people, and !
would like to feel that there is no spot
nor blemish in the man we are to send
to the United States senate.
Now. Mr.. Editor, they say straws
show which way the wind blows If
the trend of the vote over the state is
the same as in Marion county it will
be fair to give Mr.. Fletcher 20 per
/ cent. and Governor Broward 30 per
! cent. of the Lamar and Beard vote,
which will produce the following re-
suit:
