As FAR as territory for agricul-
tural purposes is concerned this
country would gain more out of a
common sized Texas county that
out of all the Sandwich islands,
1t is the position of those islands
in the Pacific ocean that renders
them of value to this government
and that alone.

THE Democratic press of Texas
will not fail to keep before the
eyes of Jones of the st Louis Re-
public the fact, that while he was
attempting to run the politics of
Texas he allowed the Republicans
of his own city to snow him and
his party out of sight. The st
Louis Globe-Democrat was a little
more lucky, for it did bring muni-
cipal victory to its own city, even
if it did make a fiascO Of its at
tempt to run the Republican poll
tics of Texas. 1t pays best to look
after home rule.

THE Cuban reVOlutiOnistS are
actively at work and looking for
aid from the fillibusters that are
preparing for descent upon the
island from Key West. They will
be disappointed of their eXpecta-
tions. Uncle Sam is not sanction
ing any attempt upon Cuba that
way. When he wants it he will
secure it in an honorable way. In
the mean time he is not going to
shut his eyes to any attempt to
invade the soil of a friendly power
from his shores. That fillibuster-
ing expedition is being very closely
watched and those who are en-
gagged in it are destined to come to
grief.

THE lawyer who sneers at the
newspaper shows the soft spot in
his head. Were it not for the news
reporters there would be compare

those lawyers whose regulations
are made by the press would be

press is the great criminal detective
of today and makes or unmakes a
lawyer with as little conjunction
as a school boy does a snow man.
Without the newspaper the law

TIE socialistic press continues
to pirate about the classes and the
masses, but it fergets to state that
in this country all the classes came
from the masses and are liable to
return to them. 1t is impossible
to establish a true class aristOcry
on the basis of wealth, because the
fact of wealth is untiXed and the
wealthy today are liable to be the
poverty stricken tomorrow. There
is no such a thing as establishing
stable order on an unstable base.
The fictitious distinctions and ar
bitrary regulations imposed by a
class that rises today and falls to-
morrow cannot be accepted as es-
tablishing anything but the fool
notions of the impracticables.

that he could not possibly give the

this refusal does not seem to deter
the editor from pressing his name
vigorously. Mr.. Farquhar is one OF
the largest agricultural implement

shown the fallacy Of the present sys-
