BARNEY GIBBS is no little curled
perfumed kid-gloved democrat. He
is rotund, robust, full-chested, big
hearted democrat, one of the old kind,
and the only weakness we ever de-
tected in him in party matters except
his preference for beer as a strong
drinks his incipient shakiness on
the two-thirds rule business. But
Barney will grow out of that ere
many moons have waxed and
waned. 1t is impossible to turn
a big, healthy, clear democratic
brain loose at the two thirds
rule for moment, disconnected from
selfish considerations without havins
a clear well-defined sharp-edged ex-
preston in favor of the rul". There
are many Of this sort Of democrats in
North Texas, and when they go to the
state convention at Houston the adj
vocates of the wholesome old rule
will be found to be too strong for the
hot-headed inconsiderate disorganizers
so foolishly fitting at it.

man would make but an indifferent

some things are not. Politically,
Frank Doremus is very particularly
unwholesome to the congressional
delegation from Texas.

tion the continued slaughter of game

the late superintendent of the Park and
his assistants as entirely worthless, and

the appointment of experienced woods
men to take care of the Park. and sug-
eests that a company Of United States
cavalry be detailed IS guard for its Dor
ders, which are now the resort Of escaped
prisoners.
Much more space was devoted by the
governor to the cattle question. He says
the Canadian officials and the Dominion
press, aided by certain Chicago stock
yard men who fear a diversion of their
business, have maligned and outrageously
attacked the health of Montana and
Wyoming cattle, and all movements on
the part of our stockmen towards OBJ
tanning market are bitterly opposed.
In conclusion, he recommends that no
