UNIQUE METHOD OF
SHOWING FLORIDA

The Union Realty Company, of Ra.
VIENNA, Ohio, are arranging to bring a
large crowd of prospective locators to
Florida, and have prepared unique
plan by means to which the comfort of
the travellers will be assured. They
have chartered a special train of Pull
man sleeping and dining cars and will
bring train load of homeseekers to
this state, bearing all expenses and
charging only $94 for the trip which
will last rs days and will cover the
whole state. 1t is intended to enter
Florida at the extreme west and go to
South Florida, stopping day or so at
various points, thence back up the
eastern side of the state. The towns
where the train will stop are requested
to furnish picnic or barbecue for the
excursionists and making arrangements
for showing them the surrounding
country. Twenty-Five days in Florida
will give the homeseekers better idea
of the resources and possibilities of
this state than a carload Of literature
would do. 1t is to be hoped that Fort
Pierce real estate men and the Board
of Trade will arrange to have this
train visit our city. The start for this
state will be made in September.

REDUCE FREIGHT
ON FLORIDA fruit

Material reductions in freight rates
on citrus fruits from Jacksonville tt
points in the Central and Western
States, were ordered last week by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Re.
auctions range according to distance,
from seven to about twenty per cent.
In February, 1910, the commission in
deciding the Florida Fruit and Veget-
able Shippers Association case against
the Atlantic Coast Line Railway and
all other carriers operating in Southern,
Central Freight Association and West
ern trunk line territories, held that
rates on citrus fruit from Florida points
to destinations in Central and Western
States were unreasonably high and re-
ductiOns to eleven principal markets in
these sections were ordered.
The roads were directed to put cor
responding reduced rates to all other
destinations in same territories. Com
missioner Prouty, in a supplemental
opinion and order, indicated that origi-
nal order was not carried out or zap
parenty for reason that carriers will
not be able to agree among themselves
about divisions of rates when named. y
The commission has fixed definite
rates to points of destination named,
and the rates become effective October
End.

Culls for Home Consumption.

1t is understood that all oranges sent
out by the Florida Citrus Exchange
have been scrutinized seven times to
see if there is anything the matter
with the fruit, and each of the seven
times the person examining it is under
instruction to call every doubtful orange
a Gull. Of course the culls are not
shipped, but are left at home, for the
home people seldom if ever get any
thing but these. 1t is often the case
that the people ia this state pay more
for Gull oranges and inferior vegetables
than our Northern friends pay for the
very best of Florida fruit products.

Secretary w B. Powell, of the Tampa
Board of Trade, while admitting that
there is considerable truth in the above
Statement, hold out the hope that the
remedy will come with the advent OF
fruit juice concerns, thus providing an
adequate and continuous source Of con-
sumption for the culls.

CANAL WORK
TO Be FASTENED

Advocates of the proposed ship canal
across Florida to connect the Gulf with
the Atlantic have been put on notice
that the measure is one of the many
matters Of vital interest to the South
that will receive consideration before
this year comes to an end. Congress
will get further details of the PROPOSE
ton and more weight than heretofore
will be brought to bear on the scheme
to get favorable action.
The use of St. Mary's river and the
Suwannee river for greater mileage
of the canal than reported is said to
have been found possible with little
dredging. 1t is not known who is back
ing the expedition, but recent invest.
igation starting from the eastern end
of the proposed canal has about COM
pleted the preliminaries and will make
report in time to aid the movement.

years Give Wickersham time enough and he
will have the Taft party reduced to himself

While Wickersham is long way from being

people who feel that the Taft family is quite
capable of minimizing its own popularity with
no outside aid, and the daily press records Of
the past year or SO are eloquent of their sue

The death of Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the
New York World and the St. Louis P0st-Dis-
patch, takes from journalism one of the most
notable as we'll as one of the most pathetic
figures
His early life was one Of hardship which
had for its dominant feature only his deter
mination to succeed. Many fanciful stories
have been told of his early days in the United
States, but Pulitzer himself never vanished
nor CLOSED, and as told by himself, his sue
cess came after bitter disappointments and
a struggle against ill-health.
His business sense was keen. and his political
insight was remarkable. He could never be
sllenced. bribed nor bought and as power in
New York politics and an authority on Ma
tional matters his work was RECOGNIZED as
among the best.
In recent years he has been totally blind,
and this affection had rather embittered him,
but he still directed his enormous business
enterprises and was active in the direction Of
both his newspapers.

The effort to negotiate loan of several mill
lions of dollars from French Belgium syn

there will be a howl from the cotton manu-

And it remains to be seen how the people of
the two new states will take that, once they
have eliminated the Objectionable feature Of
the recall, and been permitted to enter the
Union.
Georgia state politics are nearing the acute
stage With three candidates in the field, two
OF them committed to willingness to change
the local prohibition complexion and the third
leaving 1t to the people themselves to decide:
with an arbitrary State Executive Committee
which vainly tried to save its mutton by call
ing primary but permitting no convention;
with the Governor appointing to the highest
judicial position in the State, a man whom
ne branded as unworthy of public trust it will
be readily seen that all the signs for a genuine
Georgia political campaign look promising.
New allgnments have been made and there
IS growing revulsion of feeling against the
hlgh-handed methods which have throttled the
voice of the people in the past two years.
AS an issue, the prohibition question bids
fair to be the most disturbing element, but it
Is doubtful if any radical change will occur.

Mr.. Morgan's friends are greatly alarmed at
the imputations made against his honesty and
business integrity. One of his friends, speak
ing for him, said:
MIR. Morgan has been before committees Of
Congress and has given evidence before other
investigating bodies, but while his methods
have been criticised none has ventured to
question his honesty. In all these investiga-
tons he has been more than usually frank has
parrled little, but has been over anxious at
times to give full details of his enterprises
when he need not have done So"
But Mr.. Morgan's "frankness" never result
ed in any better understanding on the part Of
the general public as to how the Steel Trust
had grown to such tremendous proportions by
purely Legitimate" means There has never
been much data given as to the defective steel
plates the United States navy has paid for so
tremendously.
Of course the unsettled state OF affairs re-
suited disastrously for some on the stock
change in New York, and Friday saw almost
