State Aid in SURPRISING Fence Cutting.
AS the chief executive officer of the
state, Gov. Ireland is bound to use all
lawful means 10 compel the enforce
ment of law throughout the state.
Within the circumscription of the con-
stitution and the statutes, he must put
forth every effort necessary and avail
able TO preserve the peace and dignity
OF the state. The legislature, recently
in special session, provided extraordi-
nary means for the suppression of the
fence.cutters' insurrection, and mpde
the exercise of these means discretion
AIRY with the governor, charging him
with the disposition of $4,000 in mon
cy to he used in whatever manner he
judged best to overcome the fence
cutters. This bespoke their confidence
IN the governor and in his Judgment.
He accepted the charge and mt once
inaugurated n system which was put
in action TO carry out the law. lie in
creased the ranger force, distributed
them through the most disturbed parts
OF the state, employed detectives to en-
trap ienee.cutters, and whatever else
experience and wisdom could suggest
was done. Aud still fences are cut,
and people murmur that the malefac-
tors are not caught and punished.
The people do not act with the
governor. They do not sustain his
hands. They ask him TO work while
they fold their arms and refuse to az.

Time to Go to Work.

The state committee meets at Waco
on the eth proX. to determine upon
the time and place for the holding of
the Dmocratic state nominating con-
vention. Fort Worth wants the state
convention. She feels that she il the
proper place for II to meet and that II
Is Justly due her. This IL generally
conceded, and the feeling of the men,
beers of the committee Is believed to
largely favor Fort Worth.
But there are other cities that want
the convention, and they are doing
vigorous and effective work TO get IL.
Houston Is no insignificant rival, and
we must contend against her adyanta-
ges and influence. Fort Worth must
take steps TO have proper representa-.
tives before the committee at its meet.

salml Morse and the Passion Play

Saint Morse, who suicided IN New
York the other day was character OF
marked cccentricity. OF Hebrew
origin, he gave the best years of his
life and all his resources to It futile
effort TO have the life and death of
Jesus of Nazareth enacted upon the
stage. In hIs earlier years Morse had
visited the little Swiss village of ODER
Ammergan, where the peasant folk,
for many years, have presented a
Passian Play. He saw il, and it be-
came the absorbing idea of his life.
The man was sincere, too. He was
berated 10y pulpit and press as desiring
TO profanc s,rcred things, but there is
good reason to believe he was misun-
derstood. a Jew, az we have said, by
origin, Morse WAS believer in the di-
vine attributes of the gentle Nazarene,
and he held that his Passion Play, If
given TO the world IA he had arranged
IL, would prove II potent influence in
bringing people TO q proper conception
of the majesty and truth of the Christ
character. He was so enthusiastic and
eloquent in pursuit Of his hobby that
he actually enlisted the cooperation of
men Of means. With the money thus
secured he built n capacious hall in
New York for the express purpose of
presenting the Passion" Elaborate
scenery and other accessories We're
prepared, costing thousands of dollars
He drilled an army Of people for the
play. Everything was ready last year
to produce IL in New York, but, as
will be remembered, the city authori-
ties there forbade it. This wrecked
Morse The work OF years had cul-
minated in disaster; his own money
and bis friend 5 was gone; the dream
Of his life was broken. He had little
else TO live for and it is not much
wonder that he became victim o
melancholia and finally sought rcfugi
! in self-destructiOn. And thus, will
| the tragic finale, comes the end o
what will no doubt be the last attempt
in this country to portray on the stag,
the career of one whom millions o
men and women reverence as God.

Of bis unseen child, he lay dead in those
cold, dreary trenches There slain !;
there buried! Never after to be seen
by her; reyer again to" have his clay
cold lips pressed by the frenzied
warmth Of he-s-never to lay bless
ing on his infants head Dead in the
trenches!
