This proposition is one that should be ac-

Charge of the work.
Of course, while the offer of Mr. Jackson is
¡patriotic, it is, at the same time, not altogether
unseU|ish, for he expects; through his efforts,
to bring «new people to Orange, locate new in-
dustries here, and in doing so, enhance the value
of his holdings to, that extent.
This, is quite proper, however, and is no un-
, worthy motive.
The Leader believes that the business com-
munity ought to get together and accept the
proposition made and keep the good work of
advertising Orange going in the proper manner.
"A few cruiserjf have been kept on the Pa-
cific coast, a number in Philippine and Chinese
waters and some on the Central American
coasts. Not one warship carrying the American
flag, except the Scorpion, a disabled yacht of
775 tons, was to be found in the whole extent of
the Mediterranean or anywhere in European
waters when the massacres began.
"As a result oí this policy the government
at Washington is forced to announce that Am-
erican citizens ,aad American interests in As-
iatic Turkey must look to British protection
until such distarit time-as. American warships
may come to their relief."

ORANGE COUNTY TRUCK.
at;
m
There are a number of prosperous and suc-
cessful small truck farms in Orange county, but
the one wé have specially in mind just now is
that of Joe Hathaway, in West Orange.
On a six-acre farm-in that thriving addition
to the city, the Hathaways are meeting with
great success in raising cabbage, potatoes,
oiiions, and other truck, as well as a fine patch
of strawberries. i
Mr. Hathaway brought to town ydsterday a
number of samples from his onion béqs, as well
as a sample of as fine saur kraut as one; will
find in any grocery store/"
The Hathaways, father and son, are devoting
all of their time now to their truck farm ant
they are delighted with the results" of their ef-
forts. The only drawback that they have en
countered that prevents them having fresh
vegetables at all Seasons of the year has been
a lack of irrigation facilities and these they are
\ preparing now to provide, and with supply
water at hand all the time they are sure o"
tying nice, fresh vegetables at all seasdns o
te year
Cabbage heads weighing from ten to sixteen
pounds, firm and solid" throughout, have been
taken from their f^rm this spring, while onions
as fine as grown in the irrigated fields o
Southwest Texas are being produced.
hey have had splendid success with their
wberries this spring and* while in berries
an truck they have simply been looking to the
et to use their product, they now pro-
to branch out and grow for the outside
markets as well.
What they are doing right here in West Or
ange can be done in almost any portion of Or
ange county, and, statements of many to the
contrary, they are demonstrating that Orange
county soil is adapted to the successful ánd prof
table culture of truck and fruit. v
Systematic, business like, intensive farming
ys in-this county and there is a great future
re for this industry.

From the Dallas Times-Herald Wé clip the
following, which is worthy of repetition, in ev-
ery paper in the country. Of all the. despicable
things with which we .have at times come in
contact, about the worst is to see a pettifogging
lawyer attempt to bulldoze a child or other wit-
ness whom he thinks he can frighten "by his
contemptible methods. In the case in question
a little girl administered to the lawyer a sting-
ing ¿eebuke, which'was followed by one from
the judge. The'Times-Herald says:
"In á New York court a little girl administer-
ed a rebuke to a lawyer. The story follows:
'Sadie Levine, a bright little girl of thirteen
years, startled Justice Foot and a jury in. the
supreme" court yesterday by lecturing a lawyer
who sought to prove shé had testified falsely
in behalf of her father, Frank Levine. He is
suing the New York City Railway company for
$25,000, alleging that, by reason of an accident
he has lost the power of speech. The little girl
testified about an attack her father suffered,
four weeks after he was injured. Then Fred-
erick Moses, counsel for the company, took her
in hand. Moses tried to get her tangled up in
her testimony. When he had finished, Sadie
was told she.could leave the stand. 'Before I
go, your honor,' she said, standing up and look-
ing at Justice Foot, 'I want to tell this lawyer
something. He acted as if everything I said
was a lie., He sneered at me all through my tes-
timony. If your honor Will permit me, I will
take an oath again beforé the Almighty that
every word I said before the court is true. I
would not tell a lie for my father or any one
else.' 'It is not necessary for you to take an
ixr stli ¡<OÍ ' TiVflfínft ítanfa r/irvllnrl 'trnn 4-aaI/
oath, my chiflf,' Justice Foote replied, 'you took
the oath when you took the stand.' 'Yes, your
honor, but Mr. Moses sneered at me and acted
as if I was telling fibs. I want to tell Mr. Moses
right now that he may have seen little girls who
would tell fibs in court, but I want him to un-
derstand that I am not thát kind.' 'He may
have doubted your testimony, my little girl,' the
justice replied, 'but I did not and 1 do not think
these'men in the jury thought you were fibbitfg.
You are excused.^ That double rebuke should
have held the Hon. Mr. Moses for awhile. Now
and then a - smart' lawyer gets his.,, Mr. Moses
got all that was coming to himj from the wit-
ness and the court.''
> Times is in favor of the bond issue, both for
an addition to the school building and for a
system of waterworks, because it is -for the
city's good, although the increased tax rate will
perhaps, not fall more heavily upon any tax-
payer than upon the editor. She gets neither
voice in the city government nor the city print-
ing but she's loyal and will , pay her assessment
with her last dollar.—Timpson -Time*. :
The late editor of the Times spenf the best
years of his life in trying to make of Simpson
something inore than a mere country village,
and as mayor of that city brought it into na-
The Leader editor had fish" for dinner today
and such fish. It was enough to make Hie
bones of old Isaak Walton rise up in tlipir grave
"and try to come to life again. A big red fish
was sent to the editor by Messrs. George Call,
John Reading and Albert Cohn yesterday even-
ing, they having just returned from a successful
fishing trip to Sabine Pass, and it was a beauty,
and no mistake* By actual measurement this
splendid denizen of the deep proved to be longer
and larger than the biggest fish we have ever,
succeeded in catering out of our office window,
etfen with our longest and strongest line. The
editor and his family reveled in a meal of fish
today, for which we h^ve to thank these friends
who so successfully wielded rod and.-line on
their trip-to the jetties.

The announcement by Prof. Sumner B. Fos-
ter that he would not'apply for or accept the
position of superintendent of the city schools
of Orange for another session was received with
regret by many of the friends and patrons of
the schools. Mr. Foster,has occupied this po-
sition for the past seven years, seven of the
most successful in the history of tlia-schools.
Me has made a splendid record in Orange, a
record of development and achievement that he
can always look back to with a feeling of pride
and" pleasure. His successor will have to be an
able man, indeed, to eclipise the work that lie
has done.

The Leader has endeavored to arouse some
interest among the business community in the
matter of pulling off a big Fourth of July cele-
bration in Orange this year, but up to this time
we have failed to sée any results. Orange sends
hundreds of her citizens and thousands of her
dollars away to other towns and cities every
year on the Fourtji of July, and it does look
like it was about time for some of these people
and a few of these dollars being kept at homq
and people from Other places given an oppor-
tunity to' come andi spend their money with us.
Why not give it a trial?

tílunt and outspoken as alwayS, ex-Congress-
man Sam Bronson Cooper has invited the op-
position of a very large number of voters by
stating in an open letter that should he become
a candidate for governor he will be opposed to
statewide prohibition and to a bank guaránty
law. Both of these propositions have a tremén
dously large following4 on the affirmative side,
and Cooper knows it, but he's straightforward
and honest enough to express his convictions
and let the people know just exactly where he
stands on these issues.
Unless the supreme jeourt of Louisiana comes
to his rescue by declaring the law unconstitu-
tional, there seems to be nothing for it but for
