TAINTED MONEY

During the campaign OF 1904 the
Standard Oil Company contributed
100000 to NIr. R0osevelt's campaign
fund and the president ordered Mr..
Cortelyou TO return the money.
Dring this same canpaisn Edward
H. Hartman visited the White House
by invitation. and after q conference
with Mr.. Roosevelt. raised S265Qoo,
which. ne claims. turned $4,000 votes
in this state.
In virUOusly SDurning the Stand
ard Oil money lIr. Roosevelt must
have assumed that its acceptance
would establish what Platt calls the
moral obligation" But if Standard
Oil money implied such an obligation
how about Harriman's money? Was
his 100000 less tainted than the
Standards 100000? Or did Mr..
Roosevelt assume thai il would be
easier TO bunco Hartman than 10
bunc0 the Standard Oil crowd?
Mr.. Roosevelt may have convinced
himself thar he has said everything
about the 1904 contributions thai he
needs TO say. but there is much that
he has left unexplained. Does he
know that the Standard OIL conribu-
ton was returned as he directed?

Fruit World printed the following
facts about the California orange:
A standard car containing a'i
boxes Of oranges and that a fair a''
craze Of the individual fruit in a car
would be $1,000 oranges
The average California crop Of %
600 cars contains L447.oo0,9o0 or

people.
There are estimated TO be afoa'
10000 acres Of oranges planted il
southern California. AT 10 trees 10
The acres there would be a total OF
C.o0s.oa5 trees. A crop Of 25,oao cars
would mean a little less than box

FIRST CAR FLORIDA ORANGES

The first straight carload of Flor

oranges had 10 be put in the ripaning
rooms before they could be sold and
even when offered at auction there
was nothing about them to recommend
them. excepting the fact that they
were the first OF the season. The top

VII be heavier Repor.- from the
state indicate a goo5-siz5d crop with
the quality better than in previous
seasons. Shippers should be careful
about the spelling of eastern markets
with green. immature fruit. They
have been warned often enough. but
the greed of some IS too great to
overcome. People who get some Of
this fruit have their taste for Flor
ida oranges surfeited and it is a long
time before they can be persuaded
TO buy any more Of the fruit, no mat
Ter how good it may turn out 10 be.
II is a ruinous policy on the part Of
the growers. Some times they get
high prices for their early fruit.
This year the first oranges sold for
fully 2l25 a box less than the first
Elor.11s last season.
Some Of the large receivers are
rather pessimistic about the deal this
season. They fear that even though
the fruit will be better it is bound TO
bring low prices on account Of geuer-
al un-0ward market conditions. The
demand for orange in all the big mar
kets. New York particularly. is not
a. good as usual at this time OF the
year and not as high prices are being
paid Porto Rico oranges. with only
q half crop in prospect. are not bring
ing much more than half what they
did al this time last year. The same
thing applies to Valencias. With these
conditions facing them. and with the
weather against them, as it IS now.
il certainly would be a paying invest
menJ on the part of Florida orange
growers not TO ship any fruit 10 this
market until il is perfectly matured
and in good condition. Even if they
lost some Of their fruit by waiting.
it would not be a loss, as they would
get more money for their good when
they commence to ship it, Fancy
fruit will always bring as much, if
not more, money in New York than
it will in any other market. While
the trade also often pays high prices
for inferior stock il will not do this
long. For this reason, if for no 9th
er, it behOoves the Florida grower to
be particularly careful of the class
OF fruit he sends 10 this market
