Roosevelt Condemns
Republican Party

Testifying under oath. Theodore
Roosevelt is telling enough in his
law suit against Boss Barnes at SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, to condemn the repub-
lican party for all time to come with
the people of America. He is laying
bare the history of republican poll
tics in this country and is making it
plain that that party has all along
been the special protector of all the
trusts and big interests that have
robbed the people for so many years.
Without hesitation Roosevelt has
enumerated dozens of money kings
who contributed to the republican
campign fund when he was nominee
for president in 1904 He admitted
that Stillman, Speyer, Gould, Bliss,
Perkins. Carnegie. Rockefeller and
many others of the great financiers
and rich men made contributions.
He admitted that Joe Cannon, Will
liam Ward, ,Boies Penrose, Charles
S. Mellen and other notorious polit
ical bosses of the country were dele
gates to the convention that nomina
ted him for president In fact, he
seems to glory in the fact that all of
these men helped to put him in the
White House. This is the first time
that these admissions have ever been
made in public and under oath, and
they are of the utmost interest and
Importance in the political history of
a nation. Even since tina, lnelnora
BILE campaign, when the republican
slush fund was the largest in the his
tory of American politics, excepting
only 1896 when Mark Hanna nomi
mated Mckinley for president, the
democrats have been telling the peo-
pie that Roosevelt was nominated
and elected by the big interests, and
Roosevelt himself now admits that
this charge is true.
This ought to serve to convince
the people that the republican party
is not the friend and protector of
the people, but that it is the active
and loyal protector and servant of
the monopolists and trust builders.
1t is to be hoped that the Syracuse
trial my. continue long enough for
| Roosevelt and the rest of the repub-
lican witnesses to tell all of the truth
so that the public may know all
about republican politics and repub-
lican boss manipulations In past cam
paigns. The same crowd that domi-
mated republican politics then domi-
mates it now, and the same crowd is
arranging to nominate the party can
didate for presiden. in 1916. 1t was
this crowd that drove more than A.
100000 progressive republicans out
of the party in 1912 and is now try
ing to coax them back in line. Sure
| ly, they will not allow themselves to
be bunkoed again in that Manner

most of our citizens would either
display cold feet or laugh out
right in his face at the thought
OF such a preposterous pipe
dream,
Does it not seem as though
the spirit of home pride and self
dependence characteristic of our
people in other respects would
revolt at such conditions! With
all the natural resources of
wealth which Florida affords it
is almost disgrace that we are
sending millions of dollars out
OF the country annually for the
ordinary necessities and COM
forts of life who hare available at
home when conditions could be
easily reversed and we might
have the millions coming into
the state for the same products.
Let us resolve to cultivate a
new spirit of economic patriot
ism and enter upon the great
work of developing Florida with
renewed energy and with more
confidence in ourselves and our
great country.
Individuals here and there
may stand in the way of mater
ial advancement. If so we should
not let them block our way. Get
them to join the procession if
possible; if not possible then
find way around them, or if
necessary. flatten them out with
the steam roller of progress and
keep up the onward march over
every opposition.

SHOULD COME TO TAMPA

Newspapers through the CEN
trail part of Florida are agitating
a movement to have a new Dixie
Highway, planned to run from
Chicago to Florida, so laid out
that it will pass this way. The
route has already been talked OF
as a Chicago-Miami highway.
Why not make it a Chicago
Tampa highway they ask, and
let it pass down through the
heart of the State by way of Or
lando. Sanford, Kissimmee,

are with you, brothers. Central
Florida with its fertile lands is
just as much entitled to this
roadway as is the East Coast
and in fact. we believe it is more
entitled to it than the coast

Letter in California Daily Paper
From Prominent New York
Fruit Broker Extols Juciness
and Superior Quality of
| Florida Product.

The following from the River
side (Cal.) Press of the 9th inst
will be found interesting reading
by Florida orange growers. Note
that the writer has been handling
California oranges Exclusively
for years.
Editor Riverside Press: The
writer notes with much interest
the new marketing plan suggest
ed by the Riverside Heights ex-
change in your paper Of March
23. We also note Humphrey J.
Coughlin's remarks concerning
same.
The writer has spent the last
twenty years exclusively hand
ling California oranges at New
York which proves that our up
to-date ideas have met the ap-
prevail of our clients in Californ-
ia.
In our estimation, there are
several reasons for the present
deplorable condition of the Cal
ifornis orange grower. The prin-
cipal one is Florida. Florida
orange crop this year has been
exceptionally large and fine and
sweet. CALIFORNIA; have been
sour. A large part of the con-
suming trade in the East buy or
anges for the juice they contain.
By actual tests here we find that
take a 2oo-size California navel,
it takes 50 I-2 oranges to pro-
duce one gallon of Juice: while
it only takes "a I-2 Florida or
anges, 2oo-size, to produce the
same amount of juice.
Another thing, during Decem-
Der, January and February, es-
pecially, the Florida orange IS
much sweeter than the navel;
and another thing, there has
been any quantity of Florida or
anges put into this market this
season weighing as high as
los pounds to the box. The con.
suming trade naturally would
prefer a Florida orange during
the winter months for reasons
stated. i
Another thing, on account OF
war and Wilson times back East
this year the consumers buy less
fruit. The fruit dealers in New
York have had the poorest sea-
son they have ever experienced
and the general price on not on
lv oranges. but apples and pota-
toes and most everything IN the
fruit line. has been the lowest
they have ever been. With ap-
pies at $I.as per box, orange
prices suffer.
There is one question we
would like to ask the Riverside
Heights exchange and that is:
Why they have shipped no fancy
Blue Globe oranges this year
The bulk of their fruit that has
been put into this market has
been packed seconds and thirds.
Their own actions prove they
have not had quality.
In our estimation, owing to
nnfavorable climate conditions,
the general navel crop is about
IS poor as we have ever seen IT,
At present, as a very large pro-
portion Of the fruit is extra
and it is impossi-
bic to sell such oranges to a con-
sumner willing to pay a good
price.

Florida oranges. That does mott

In the entire history Of the world
no fleet of war vessels has been so

upon the instant that war is declared and
under the arrangements that have been
made they will become one of the strong
est projections that the sea coast cities Of
this country can have.
Already enthusiasm among owners Of

that the United States Volunteer Naval

predict that with only minimum of effort
on their part they will shortly have en-
rolled in the organization practically every

In various phases of warfare and to hold
