trio shall be made up Of two practical
stockmen and one veterinarian, but the
Commissioner of Agriculture is left out.
Section l5 provides for the repeal Of the
act above referred to under which the
present bureau is operating.
Thus the attempt is made to wipe out
the present bureau and create instead 8
bureau appointed by the President, who
shall report to the Commissioner of Agri'
culture but be su6jee, to the President.
1t is clear refusal to carry out solemn
pledges and violation of good faith.
Such bureau would be = nondescript,
would have two masters and serve none.
An active and effective force would bere-
moved in 8 time Of great danger, and an
unorganIz ed ineffective force substituted.
Months would be spent in the reorganiza-
ton and during these months all restric-
tons would be removed and disease left
to run riot over the land. The west can
not afford to take these chances.
AS specimen of cold-blooded disre-
gard Of pledges made this is unparalleled
and can only be accounted for on the by
pothesis that the sctuating desire is to
hinder rather than promote legislation or
that by Disgusting the purpose under the
heading Of compromise bill it was hoped
to sneak. the measure through and secure
q place for some ore on the commission
where, virtually, there would be no "big-
ger man" to direct. The western mem
bers OF the Consolidated Cattle
Growers Association are willing to
stand by the Miller-CareY bill as
amended in accordance with the Tesolu-
tions of the association, but they will not
consent to the cut-throat bill under dis
cussion. They made an honorable COM
promise and in honor will stay with it,
but brand as dishonorsble this attempt
to force upon them bill that destroys
the protection We have and gives nothing
In return.

The "trusts" that are established for
the purpose Of curtsiliDg the production
aud increasing the prices CT various COM
modities indicate with unerring certainty
the weak points where the general well
fare has been left uDprovided with proper
defense. The "trusts" like the Sugar
Trust, the Linseed Oh Trust, the Lead
Trust, the Castor Oil Trust, and the
"combinations" like the steel-rAll, zinc,
coal and copper combinations, which are
dependent for their profitable manage
meut upon the continuance Of govern
ment bounties, may be abolished by pull
ing from under them the tariff props upon
which they are built.
The trusts like the Standard OIL Trust,
which flourish by the fayoritism Of COM
mon carriers and through the neglect of
public officials to enforce the laws ALREADY
upon the statute books, would break
down under the light Of publicity and the
enforcement OF the laws they persistently
violate. They are scarcely dis
guised conspiracies to accomplish
illegal ends. The beneicence OF
nature (such IS is shown in the
petroleum or anthracite product of Penn
sylvsnis) or the advantage of useful in
vention, or the attempt OF a paternal
government to encourage undeveloped
Industries, is seized upon oy these specu-
latiye monstrosities to sweep into pri-
vate Golfers the usufruct which Of right
is public pos session.
The passage of the tariff bill approved
by the committee on ways and means
would smash the arrangements" depend
ent upon discriminating taxation. 1t
would remain for the several states to
deal with kindred rascalities which have
been established under the shelter of in
efficient state supervision Of corporate
undertakings snd lax administration Of
the laws to prevent encroachment upon
private rights.

THE Blair bill will strengthen the crea-
ture and weaken the creator. In this
country the individual is the government,
and any legislation which strengthens the
federal authority at the expense of the
individual is step in the wrong direction
and tends to convert the public servant
into & public master. He would be 8
bold man who would attempt the subver-
sion of American liberty BY force, and the
menace to freedom will ever come in
pleasing guise and insidious form.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

TEE attention of Governor Forsyth
and Senator Ingalls, is called to the fact
that even the portrait of Jefferson Davis
and tattered battle flags failed to develop

Legislature to vote an appropriation of

soldiers. And yet Mr.. ingalls, says, and

A Reckless Rider Breaks Els Nsck-Heavi-
est Rains in seventet Years.
Special to the Gazette.
CANTON, TEX, March S.-Lste yester-
day afternoon as q crowd CT men were
leaving town and some of them being
under the influence Of whisky, one named
John Gordon, living five miles east Ct
to n, WAS running his steed at an swful
rate when the animal ran into bog,
turning 8 summersault and throwing him
OF in front Of the animal, breaking his
neck. The horse fell on him and crushed
his bones also. He never uttered word
but died instantly. He bled like man
who had been stabbed, the b,ood running
some eight or ten feet distant down 8
wsgon-rut in the road. His remains
we're carried TO house near by and pre-
pared for burial. He had been married
but short while and leaves young wife
to mourn his loss. His body WAS carried
to the family graveyard near his residence
this afternoon for interment.
The heaviest rain that has visited this
part of the stste in seventeen years, go
say old land marks, fell here the latter
part Of last week. Great damage is
wrought on plantations where any
streams of water of any sizs flow. The
Texas and Pacific Railway is damaged to
q considerable extent. The bridge over
the Saline creek, about twelve miles
northeast Of here, was washed away.
Trains were stopped Saturday morning
until Sunday night. They are running
regula. now.

Houston's Letter.


Temple Houston has in the Fort Worth
GAZETTE something after the manner of
Edmund Burke's impeachment Of Warren
Hastings, charged Judges John P. White
and Samuel A. Wilson with palpabIe
violation of the constitution in printing
their so-called Judicial opinions. Tenn
ple's text is the old Roman maxim, "On
the brow of every quot each as Temple
has IT. man should be written
what he thinks OF the republic" Alb
solutely II is refreshing to read about 8
man in this sordid day and time getting
up and speaking his honest mind. No
one need despair of the republic as long
as blunt boldness and honesty are left.
Temple charges that Judge White Was
willing to accept office from E. ]. Davis,
but says that Davis was too decent man
to appoint him. Verify, the divine right
of office holders is playing out in Texas.
Go it, Temple, the Examiner will hold
YOUR bottle.

be so accepted by the country. The

will be nominated, the Democracy should
put old Bill Morrison on the ticket and

LORD LoNsDALE arrived in New York
on the 5th. Here he is known in the role
Of theatrical manager, ETC., for Violet

genial surroundings. He and party Of

AMERICAN THINKING.


Professor Charles z. Norton, Of Har-
ward college, recently lectured on "Con-
dltions Of Thought in America" The
chief point made-and it is one which de-
serves earnest consideraiion-was the
material tendency, the pursuit for wealth
as the goal, the all. Professor
Norton did nor seem to think it
was ignorance, pure and simple,
such as is found among classes In Eu-
rope-that threatened national well being,
but the shallow, half knowledge that set
itself above true culture, and had become
the self satisfied ideal of the land. The
vulgar superfciaIity that struck the popu-
lar chord in the newspapers explained the
boosted circulation Of the so-cAllej 'lead-
ing papers" Of the large cities. He did
not find the moneyed people Of the land
any greater promoters of true culture
than the moneyless, nor were the scholars
Of the land recruited, as rule, from
their ranks. The scholars Of the country
were Epoor, and generally work
ing without general recognition, and for
the high satisfaction their work would
bring.

PEOPLE who seek to destroy this gov
eminent should ponder its superiority to
all forms of human authority. In free
America the chief executive may even die
by violence without threat to the peace
of the country or mensce to Its integrity.
But in Europe the death of ruler may
be the signal for q war that will destroy
the lives and property Of the people and
change the msp of The continent. This is
the best government under the sun and
every lover of human liberty and free in
situations should be ready to shoot on
the spot any man or set OF men thst pa
rades the flag or the principles Of anar-
civ.

these queries must be answered IN the
negative. Out of q female voting popula-

last year, and of these but about half,
1912, took the trouble to vote
after they were registered, aid
this decrease from the
year previous. The number by counties
was as follows: Barnstable, 81 regis
tered, voted; Berkshire, 81 registered,

Dukes, 5 registered, voted; Essex, 20l

istered, voted; Suffolk, $50 registered,
73I voted; Worcester, Sl1 registered and
70 voted. Now we submit that this is
not very favorable showing for our te-
male suffrage friends. If q law is ever
passed giving women complete suffrage
there should be either some reward Of
merit or some penalty attached as slim
illus to its partial practice.
