OF VIM. Pitt Kellogg, a Republican
nominee for congress in Louisiana,
the congressional committee to inves-
tigate the star-route frauds says in It's
report that "Gov. Kellogg thought the
government case against him failed
because he held that the oflense con-
sisted in the receipt of drafts and was
barred by the statute of limitations"
No denial is made that he was guilty
of conspiracy to rob the government
but the crime was committed so long
age that the law will not punish him
He will make model congressman t
work with Republican administra
ton.

When they Were Organized.

Nearly every one OF the cattle syndicatis

How could it have been otherwie
when there never has been any othtr
than free-grass regime ia any cout-
try known TO civilization until the ea-
actment of lease law in Texas ? Tie
Herald might have truUhfully sail,
however, that there has been nlGre
chartered corporations organized In
Texas since the enactment of the lease
law than in all the time previousto
that since the war. The records will
show this to be the case.

The Drummer System.

The GAZETTE prints elsewhere re-
ply to an article that appeared in the
Galveston News on the Goth ult. The
News may be correct In part, for Gal
weston may have employed more
drummers than its wholesale business
justified. Other places, also, may have
been compelled to shorten sail. But the
stringency OF the times, not a defect In
the drummer system, Is perhaps the
occasion of economy. Every line Of
business Is keeping close TO shore these
"hard times, and It is not strange
that drummers, as well as other era
ployes, must go till times grow
better. But this does not jus

To the Editor OF the Gazette.
The "grand old woman" of the
South sends up humiliating wall of

city may possibly be utilized for termi-

gressive organ that fostered it appro-

A Newspaper,s Duty to lis Readers.

A Newspapers Duty TO Its Readers.
The editor of the Waco Examiner
has grievance against the editor of
the Houston Post, and entertains his
readers with reciting how he has been
abused by the Post and what excessive
provocation he has had to excite Ill
feeling toward that journal.
THE GAZETTE does not NEEDLE in
other peoples business, and is not
ready or disposed to venture an opinion
as to the merits of the case between
the two gentlemen who control the
columns of the Post and the Examiner.
Without referring particularly to
the present instance, but discussing
the matter from the point of journal
istie ethics, we consider the airing of
personal feeling in the editorial col
umns of the press decided lowering
of journalistic tone and an invitation

sion as merely the individual predilec-
ton of the editorial manager put in

I should distinguish editorial utter.

ence TO the editorial page, cannot ex'
