WHY is it that the sum Of the tariffs
on iron from Birmingham, Ala, to

product from Cincinnati to Abilene,
Tex, is SO cents per 100, while if it is
shipped from Birmingham to Fort
Worth, manufactured here and shipped
to Abilene, the total cost of Transports
ton is Sl.O9 per 100? The first haul is
nearly 1000 miles further than the
second, yet the railroads charge nearly
% per cent more for the shorter haul
than for the longer one. Commissioner
Foster directs attention to this discrim-
ination against Texas industries. Can
any railroad man give satisfactory
explanation of it?

That Additional Law Chair.
Editor Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX

AUSTIN, TEX
In recent issue of your valuable
paper I find brief paragraph wherein
is expressed dissatisfaction at the
creation of an additional chair in the law
department by the board of regents OF the
state university.
Your dissatisfaction is grounded on the
fact that the membership Of the legal
fraternity throughout the state is already
too numerous. That fact is true of the
whole United States. We have one practl-
toner of law for every 1000 population,
while other civilized countries have only
one for every 10000.
But if there were no law departments at
the university the young men now studying
law there would he students in some. Office.
At the university there are at present only
two professors of law. Both distinguished
men, who have served the state with honor
as chief Justice of the supreme court, and
shaped the practice and juris prudence of
that court Students can under their guild
ance lay a solid foundation and qualify
themselves for practice far better than as
students in the law Office, where no sufficient
attention can be paid to them. While the
over-crowdIng of the legal profession re-
mains an evil, it certainly IS an advantage
that there should be the best training. To
improve further that training the additional
chair is intended. 1t is meant for COM
parative jurisprudence Probably, later,
q fourth chair for history of law and
philosophy of law viii have to be added,
and the study Of Latin recommended, SO
that the stOrehouse of Roman civil law snail
be accessible.
Law is so vast field that more than two
men are needed to cover IT.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

WACO, TEX.
Editor Gazette.
congratulate you most heartily on the
noble and statesmanlike view you take IN
regard to selecting Hon. Roger Q. Mills
United States senator. like Mr.. NILS
personally and socially, but he has only two
splendid qualities.
l. II you have no case and want to make
good retreat by abusing the other side,
Col. Mills has no superior. He would have
made 4 splendid attorney in the case where
the Office lawyer wrote on a slip for the
courthouse lawyer or the special pleader
saying: Il have examined the law and evil
dence in this case, and we have no case /;
abuse the prosecuting attorney and wit
nesses like HI or our client is gone up. :"
Col Mills is the only man who, when anni-
hilated in an argument on prohibition,
could have said to DR.. B. H. Carroll before
5000 people: "Hell is so ful OF preachers
of your sort that their legs have to hang
out at the windows and this made the
rabble shout
?. Where tie opponent is entrenched in
office or power so that no sense Of Justice
nor argument can reach him and nothing
will avail but ''gCod SHINING" or ''cuss-
ing out, just as E. J. Davis and the seal
awags" were in Texas in 1S09-T3, and as
Reed and the Radicals have been in con-
gress in the last few years. Col. Mills was
the only man that could abuse and ''cusS"
them as they deserved.
But these two qualities would be utterly
useless in the senate of the United States,
| and, as you have wisely said it would be a
calamity to Texas and make the world be-
lieve Texas was state of pugilists and
bulldogs In point of real intellect,
Mills is far inferior to Culberson or Chill
ton. l trust you will do all you can to give
| US a senator who can do something besides
clustering and bullying.
The overwhelming majority of Texans
will stand by you in the work, though the
! rabble about the county seats may not.

tend the free list to prime necessaries

torial conven ton which met at this place

O'Neal is not a Democrat. He has run
against Culberson once or twice on the

the Democracy of this district has simply
