The newspaper people are in ses-
sion at Miami and it goes without
saying that they are having a good
time. Miami has made generous
preparations to entertain them and
they are sure to make the most Of
the opportunity. There never is a
full turnout of the press gang at
these annual events, because the ma
ture of their work is such that
newspaper men have more trouble in
getting away from their labors than
almost any other class of breadwin :
ners; but those who do get away are
primed for the occasion and they
are experts in the fine art Of rational
enjoyment. The editor of the Tel
egram very much wanted to 60 to
Miami and looked forward with pc
culiar pleasure to meeting old friends
and renewing pleasant associations
in the fine little city, but sickness
in the force made it impossible for
him to leave his work here. But Tom
Appleyard. and Bob Holly and Harry
Brown and Powell and Straub are
sure to be present along with the
rest and they will fully maintain thu
tone and dignity of the State Pres
Association and impress the people
of Miami with its superior quality
even though 1t shows up lacking IL
quantity.

THE TRIUMPH OF THE FLORIDA
ORANGE

The people of Florida familiar
with the citrus fruits of both States
have long known that the California
orange was markedly inferior to the
Florida product. Many of the Cali
fornians know it, too, but of course
they won't admit it, and like all
champions of the weaker cause
they lose their tempers when the SUI
perior quality of the Florida orange
is suggested in their presence.
And despite their magnificent ad-
advertising campaign in which all
the arts of seductive boosting are
employed, the people Of the country
generally. are discovering that our
citrus fruit Is much finer in flavor
than that of its Pacific coast rival,
and in consequence it has better
standing in the markets. This from
the Clearwater Sun puts the case
in accordance with the facts:
Reports from the commission
mems papers tell us that California
oranges are going begging in the
eastern markets. Last week Califor
Mas pack was selling at an average
Of under 81 box. 1t costs 81
freight on the California fruit, and
with commission charges, picking
and packing the fruit grower gets
little but "red ink sales" Florida
fruit, in the same market, brought
from 81 to $2.35. Strictly fancy
brought from $2.75 to $500. The
freight on fruit from Florida to
eastern markets is about 25 cents a
box less than on California fruit.
California has spent 100000
this season advertising its fruit, and
is offering premiums of silverware to
buyers of it, yet its citrus products
ae selling for onehalf that Of Flor
ida fruit.
"The reason of this is that the
Florida fruit is sweeter and Of bet
ter favor, and the juice contents Of
our oranges are almost once again
greater than that of California or
anges. In other words you get twice
as much orange, and a sweeter and a
better orange, and the people Of the
East are beginning to realize this
and demand the Florida oranges in.
stead Of the much-advertised Sun
Kist brands"

1t certainly rifles" a man who be-
lieves in the eternal fitness Of things
to think of the bull luck of Jack
johnson. He was fairly caught in
the very heart of the terrible turmoil
in Europe when war was declared,
and is as fine a bundle Of ~'cannon
fodder" as ever grew, and yet he
made a clean getaway from all the
trouble in his adopted land and now,
sleek, fat and happy, is training to
pick up a fortune in Havana, while
so many of his friends and betters in
France have died on the battlefield
and are enduring the terrors and
hardships of the trenches. Mr..
Johnsing has unequalled skill and
prowess with his huge black fists, but
he is neither hero nor patriot, else
would he have offered to fight for
the land that gave him asylum when
he fed from America as a convicted
criminal.

General French, who has COM
manded the British army in the field
in France since the beginning Of
hostilities with such brilliant sue
cess that he ranks next to Kitchener
as Great Britain's foremost soldier,
has given a long interview on the
military situation to the Associated
Press, and in 1t he harks back to our
American civil war for purposes of
comparison. Among other things he
says, in speaking of famous SOL
diers:
ITO me, Stonewall Jackson was
more like Cromwell than any other
leader Of history. A heroic, martial
figure, whose wonderful career came
to the happy close soldier desires
in the hour Of victory. l have fol-
lowed all his marches and battles
with unflagging admiration. He
had the religious exaltation OF
Cromwell, his dash and the determ.
nation, and his ready strategy and
the genius Of inspiring his troops
with his own indomitable spirit Of
energy.
"But of all your commanders
Robert E. Lee, in his patience, his re
source, his poise. his soundness o.
judgment and his possession Of thu
qualities. of high command in al
emergencies is foremost, in my opin
