CALIFORNIA; COLD SNAP

The last issue of the New York Pro-
duce News, speaking OF the cola IL
California, and its effect upon Tue
sale of oranges from that state, says
California orange receivers are
worried about the quality and condi-
ton of the fruit that they will get III
the near future. Information from a
source considered absolutely reliable
and authentic, states that the reports
of damage by cold sent out from Cali
fornia have not been strictly correct.
This informant says that the damage
was considerably greater than during
the cold spell two years ago in spite
of all that the Californians say to the
contrary If this is true the receivers
feel that they are going to get some
frosted fruit shortly. California ship
pers seem to have an idea that they
can send out this kind of fruit and
get some money for it, losing sight of
the fact that it would be far better for
them financially and every other way,
if they left it at home. This was
shown two years ago when fruit ship
ped from the state, at auction, in
many instances, did not bring over
25c. box. The local market has been
considerably lower this week, espe-
cially on southern navels, which are
selling for fully 25c. a box :ess."

PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR

Our Heavenly Father, we thank
thee that thou hast set before us the
open door of the new year, which no
man can shut. With Joy and with con-
fidence We pass through the portals
and enter the mystery of another
year. What unfulflled hopes are to
come to fruitiOn, what cherished plans
are to be unrealized, what joys may
surprise us, what sorrows may pain
Us. what perils may threaten us, these
we know not; neither do we ask. But
this We know, our Father, that wher-
ever We may go thy presence will an.
ticipate us, and in whatever we may
do and in all that we may suffer thy
grace viii be sufficient for us. But We
cannot tread alone, our Father, the
way that we have not passed before.
By thy spirit lead us, we humbly pray
thee, and make clean our hearts with
in us that henceforth we may serve
thee not in oldness of the letter but
in newness of the spirit, to the honor
and glory of thy holy name And un.
TO thee, who makest all things new
viii we ascribe praise now and for.
eVermore. Amen.-Ulysses G. 3

comment over the state.
The statement is clear and con.
vincing, and does away with any i'm

that Major Wright was mixed up in

A SQUARE DEAL FOR TAFT

Mr.. Taft has no just grievance
against Senator LaFollette, for Sena-
tor LaFollette is fighting him in the
open.
The president has just grievance
against Mr. Roosevelt, for Mr.. Roose-
welt is fighting him from ambush.
This is not square deal. 1t is not
in accordance withe rules of the
game
If Mr. Roosevelt is a candidate for
president he ought to say So. If he
would accept the republican nomina-
ton for president he ought to say SO.
If he is Mr.. Taft's rival he ought to
say so. He should be as courageous
as Senator LaFollette.
Mr.. Taft is reported to have said re-
Gently that nothing but death can
keep me out of the fight now" That
is what he should say. That is the
only course of conduct that he can de-
Gently take. To assist in cutting his
own throat would be contemplate.
It is one thing for the republican
party to deny a denomination to Mr.
Taft It is quite another thing for
Mr. Taft to allow Theodore Roosevelt
to bulldoze him out of a denomination.
Mr.. Taft has been a good president,
in some respects a most excellent
president. No faint of scandal has
touched his administration. His hands
are clean. He has nothing to apollo
gize for
True, he has made some very great
blunders, but these blunders were also
republican plumbers. They were due
to his following the practices and ira
ditions Of his party. His weakness is
the weakness of his party, which en-
deavors to be progressive and reac-
tionary and stand-patter.
The republican faction that sup
ports Senator LaFollette for president
is trying to capture the organization
and make the whole party progress
i've. That is fair fight. But the fac
ton that clamors for Mr.. Roosevelt
is trying only to hold the spells. 1t is
embarrassed by no principles. 1t is
seeking to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt
only because it thinks he would be
stronger than his party and could fool
more of the people some of the time.
Wall Street, reactionary, insurgent,
fake, progressive-all have a common
motive. They think there is more in
it for them with Roosevelt as the can
didate than with Taft.
Mr.. Roosevelt, while pretending to
be out of politics, yet processing to be
greatly alarmed about the future of
the republican party, has plunged into
this campaign of intrigue against the
president. He is playing Van Buren,
to Taft's Cass, Breckenridge to Taft's
Douglas, Blaine to Taft's Harrison,
and the president has a right to re-
sent it.
Mr. Roosevelt said in his recent ar
ticle on the arbitration treaties that
this nation should behave without
and with straightforward

The grove should be given unusual

But is there no hope for Woodrow

To be truly Democratic Governor

In 1907 Governor Wilson should have

In 1908 Governor Wilson should have

In 1909 Governor Wilson should have

In 1910 Governor Wilson should have
been an independent candidate for lieu
