PrscMfont Roossvelfs Tribute to theSouth I

The wounds left by the great civil jwar have long healed but its memories remain Think of It ok my coun-trymen ¬think of the good fortune thatfsoursThat whereas every otherwar ot modern times has left feelings-of rancor and bitterness to keep asun ¬der the combatants our great war hasleft to the sons and daughters of themen who fought on whichever sidethey fought the same right to feel thekeenest pride in the great deeds alike-of men who fought on one side and ofthe men who fought on the other

Great though the need of praise iswhich is due the South for the sol¬dierly va Jgr her son displayed duringthe four years of war I think thateven greater praise is due to her forwhat her people have accomplished inthe forty years of peace which follow-ed

¬ IFor forty years the South has I

made not merely a courageous but attimes a desperate struggle as she hasstriven for moral and material wellbeing

Her success has been extraordin-ary and all citizens of our commoncountry should feel joy and pride init for any great deed done or any finequalities shown by one group of Am ¬ericans of necessity reflects credit up ¬on all Americans Only a heroic peepie could have battled successfullyagainst the conditions with which thepeople of the South found themselves-face to face at the end of the civilwarThere had been utter destructionand disaster and wholly new businessand social problems had to be facedwith the scantiest means The econ ¬omic and political fabric had to bereadjusted in the midst of dire wantof grinding poverty The future ofthe broken war swept South seemedbeyond and if her sons and-daughters had been of weaker fiberthere would in very truth have been-no hope

But the men and the sons of themen who had faced with unfalteringfront every alteration of good andevil fortune from Manassas Appomattox nn1 the women their wivesand rHJt °rs whose courage and en ¬durance iad reached an ever higherheoric level these men and these wo ¬men set themselves undauntedly to thegreat task before them For twentyyears the struggle was hard and attimes doubtful Then the splendidqualities of your manhood and wo-manhood

¬

told as they were bound totell and the wealth of your extraor-dinary

¬

natural resources began to beshown

Now the teeming riches of mineand field and factory attest the pros ¬perity of those who are all the strong-er

¬

because of the trials and strug ¬gles through which this prosperity-has come You stand loyally to yourtraditions and memories you alsostand loyally for our great commoncountry of today and for our com ¬mon flag which symbolizes all that isbrightest and most hopeful for thefuture of mankind you face the newage in the spirit of the age Ali e inyour material and in your spiritual-and intellectual development youstand abreast of the foremost in theworlds progress

I dents speaking of the address saysHe brought the subject very close-

to the minds and hearts of sena¬tors and they gave him the utmostattention As with characteristicUluntness and grim and regardlesshumor he alluded to the insuranceinquities and the lame ducks ofthe senate and sedate members look¬ed as though they did not knowwhether to laugh or cry The speechcontained so much of lamentable truthand distressing logic it could not failto be impressive No ordinary report-of the senators effort would suffice toconvey an adequate idea of its in ¬cisive reach its relentless mettled andits inimitable and indescribable man¬nerisms which arrested and held in ¬terest in every word he uttered Till ¬man was at his best in voice matterand humor He never made a speechmore apposite to the occasion nordelivered himself more effectually-

For Senator Depew New Yorksjunior senator this correspondent saysthere is much expression of sympathyand compassion-

No man in public life has so muchlived moved and had his being in theatmosphere of praise He came toWashington from scenes of numeroustriumphs about the festal board to seekthe applause of listening senatorsand now to hear his name compan-ioned

with the lame ducks of that body-in a bog dishonor is sad to con¬template especially as he plainlyshows the fearful stress of humilia¬tion that may visit a bright and sen-sitive mind

A TRIBUTE TO SPARKMAN

Wants Him Returned to CongressVery Popular in Tampa

From an article of some length Inthe Tribune on the subject a day ortwo ago may be drawn a very correctidea as regards the congressional sit-uation

¬

in the first Florida districtThat papers suggestion that Con ¬gressman Sparkman is entitled to aunanimous democratic renominationdoubtless voices public opinion withaccuracy Coming from such a sourcefrom a paper which preferred anothercandidate in the last campaign thestatement has peculiar force-

It is understood that CongressmanSparkman is a candidate for a renomination and it is absolutely undoubt-ed

¬

that he will be triumphantly suc ¬cessful The only possible remainingquestion is whether the campaign willbe marred by the quasi candidacy ofsome other aspirant or whether itshall take the sfiSpe of a proper trib ¬ute to the character and services of-a man who has deserved everything-of his constituents-

In reviewing the services of thecongressman for the several terms hehas been in the house it is impossible-to detect an instance or occasion inwhich he has not understood the in ¬terests of his constituentssingly orcollectivelyor one in which he hasnot safeguarded or promoted those in¬terests as the circumstances demand-ed

¬

It is not too much to say thatbroadly considered CongressmanSparkman has not made a mistake-nor ever been found lacking in ag-gressive

¬

and effective push when itwas needed In view of these circum-stances

¬

it needs no volume of words-to set out the proposition that heshould be accorded a renominationwithout the slightest opposition Hisvalue to his constituents and his abil ¬ity to promote their interests growwith his length of service This isafact attested by universal experience-and it is one upon which much weight-was laid by his supporters in the on-ly

¬

campaign in which he has encount ¬ered opposition that was intended tobe serious

The people of Tampa his home cityare especially indebted to Congress-man

¬

Sparkman for his able work intheir behalf of which it is not nownecessary to enter into particulars-He was fully redeemed and performedevery promise he has made them evenin the face of what seemed tremend-ous obstacles There is every reason-to believe he will continue able andwilling to extend the same good workAnd this not only for Tampa but forevery corner of his district His mem ¬bership of the rivers and harbors com-mittee

¬

will doubtless be coterminous-with his membership of the house and-it so happens that right in this linelie the greatest and most imperativeneeds of his district and it follows as amatter of course that his willingness-and ability to serve his people willnot be abridged-

The Times has no doubt that thesuggestion of an unquestioned renom ¬ination of Congressman Sparkman willmeet the universal approval through-out

¬

the district and it congratulates-both the congressman and people thatsuch is the case It brings the rela¬tions between representative and con¬stituents to that basis which is oneof perfect mutual understanding con¬fidence and trust a situation in which-no man is an outsider or to be dis ¬regarded no point or port but itsclaims are of as much weight as anyothers In short affairs in the firstdistrict have reached a stage of progresisve equilibrium where every in¬terest can be and is being taken careof in harmony with a similar care forJevery other interest It would be thewildest folly to attempt to shatter ordisarrange such a conditionTampa-Times

ORANGES ORDERED BYTHE TRAINLOAD-

A telegram was sent to Florida fromBirmingham last Tuesday says theBirmingham News for twentyfourcars of oranges one of the largestorders for this fruit ever before giv ¬en at one time The telegram reveal-ed

¬

the fact that Birmingham willhandle more oranges this season thanever before to say nothing of theincreased business in apples and otherfruit

Not a single car of the recordbreaking order is for a commission-man in Birmingham of their or¬ders having been placed Every boxwill be resold to local and out of towndealers who sell direct to the trade-In speaking of the order W L Mur ¬doch said he will have handled fullyfifty cars before the season is overCommission men in Birmingham ac¬cording to C M McMahon will sellno less than 100 cars making a to ¬tal of 150 cars that will be handledthrough Birmingham houses beforethe season is gone

There are 300 boxes to the average-car The total number of cars willequal 45000 boxes In every boxthere are about 200 oranges making-a total of 4500000 oranges in the 150cars

First class oranges are selling for225 and 250 per box Estimating-

the average sale at 225 the mini ¬mum the traffic In oranges this win ¬ter will reach 101250
