About the best piece of legisla-
ton that has been run through
the mill at Austin is that irriga-
ton law. There is a growing con-
viction that the agricultural pro-
ducts Of this southwest are to be
secured only through irrigation
and the law that generalizes the
methods of securing to these lands
the needed water, providing for it's
storage and distribution, is one
that cannot be overrated.

England has given repeated as
surance that all she wants in Mica
ragua is what that state owes her.
With this she will be satisfied and

time there will be close watch
over her in order to see that she
does not pick up the country and
ship it home.

The extremists are not likely to
work their will with the finances
Of the nation. There is no intima-
ton that the use of gold as the only
standard Of values will be long con-
tinued, and it is equally certain
that there is not going to be any
acceptance of silver as the one
unit of value. The acceptance Of
both upon an accepted ratio is GER
tain to be the outcome of the pres
ent controversy, but it is not so
certain when that controversy will
be closed. The end is not yet and
it may not be after the close of the
next election, but that question is
going to play an important part
then.

There is very little definite in
formation as to the inside situation
of affairs between Japan and China
and Just as little as to the real
status Of the treaty. How far the
belligerents themselves agree and
how far the powers refuse a sane
ton to that agreement is not
known. One thing is certain, Japan
is more ready to please herself than
the rest of the world. Her people
see the fruits of victory within
their grasp and will push for more

consider a fair settlement of the
conditions of peace. 1t is Of more
Importance to the Emperor just
now that the warlike spirit Of the
people be unified and that their
patiotism shall not be checked
than that they retire upon their
present laurels. Japan as a unit
will be growing stronger and the
Emperor and his advisors will not
permit any settlement Of the ques-
ton with China that is going to
impair the confidence of the people
in the patriotism and self respect
of the government.

Japan has not been selfish In her
peace proposals, and If her pro-

fruits Of commercial profit from
the hitherto barren soil Of Chinese
enterprise. For this the CONNER

obstacles to her work.

There is nothing that so effects
the efficiency Of the public service
as parsimony in the matter of
salaries paid to clerks and other
underlings in the public officies.
The rank and file of the army OF
public workers, those who do the
business for the state, should be
well paid. 1t is not creditable to a
business house to underpay its en-
p(oyees and it is less so for the
state. This legislature which has
just adjourned to the intense re-
lief of Texas did not know this,
but they ought to have known it
and their ignorance is ineXcusable
as we'll as indefensible.
Another week and the United
States Supreme court will tackle
that income tax and declare its
constitutionality or unconstitu-
tionality and settle the contro-
versy. At present that tax is
neither fish, flesh or fowl. 1t has
been emasculated until all Of the
vim has been taken out Of it and
no opinion as to its constitutional
ity approached, that matter not
having as yet been under discus.
sion. Whatever the conclusion it
will be welcomed as settling a case
that in Its unsettled condition
leaves the government, the collec-
tors and the income fellows in a
state Of perpleXing betweenity.

The United States Supreme court

be of great interest to the dairy far
mers of this state. The decisron in
brief is as follows: "That the state
has power to control the sale Of ole:
margarine and that it cannot be sold
50 that it will appear like butter" It
is claimed that the decision will make
easier the prosecution Of suits now
pending in this state: The above
goes to show that every safeguard

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the deased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous,
lining of the Enstachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have UNI
bling sound Of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh;
which is nothing but an infamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollar

catarrh) that cannot be cured by
