There is nothing absolutely definite
as to the reports that reach the pa
pers Of this state purporting to tell
what is or is not going TO take place
in Texas patronage distribution. 1t is
only true that there is friction and di-
vision, that the state chairman has not
the cinch on the situation and that the
national committeeman is in the same
boat, that the president has told the
parties at controversy to get together
and they have not. Beyond this there
is really nothing to give out. The pie
is going in pieces and not as a whole
pie and no one faction is likely to get
more than its share. This is about all
that there is to it yet.

Bradley seems to think that he was
elected governor OF Kentucky to be
a thorn in the side Of the Republicans
in the National Congress. Ever since
he was unceremoniously showed out of
the way in his aspirations to a seat
in the headquarters Of government at
Washington he has been as grabbed
and sour as hard cider, and has al
ways a knife up his sleeve for the
party. 1t was a great mistake making
him governor and would be a greater
to make him a United States senator.
The party is not advanced, nor the
interests of the country, by filling the
Senate of the nation with these pes
simistic souls that rise and set in
their own little bath tubs.

COTTON PRoTECTIoNIsTs.

| WI AOAN W.
The protection sentiment, like char
ity, begins at home, but it does not
stay there. The first fruits of a change
Of heart on this subject are seen in
the desire to protect some special in
dustry, some production of some To-
cality that appeals to the self interest
of the protector. Once this opening
is made in the crust of the old idea, the
rift rapidly widens, until what is at
first local sentiment soon becomes a
universal one. This is the way that
protection is growing in the south.
First, it comes along the lines of the
sheep and cattle industries. AS these
are seen to be benefited by the pro-
lection extended to them other indus
tries come to be considered. The
possibility of an Unfolding of our mar
kets with the raw material of other
countries is felt, then feared, then pro-
vided against in protective legislation.
This fear is being felt today by the
cotton growers of the south, Just as it
has been felt for a decade by the wool
and hide and meat producers. When
king cotton, the last refuge of the
free trader is surrendered and the
young Democracy Of the country clam
or for 21a cent duty on that staple
then is the beginning of the end Of the
Democratic crusade against our protec-
tive policies. Thus it is is today, and
all over the south the demand for a
tariff on cotton and rice and sugar
assures the Republican friends of the
high protective tariff idea, that their
strongest ally is soon to be found up
on the southern field. This will take
the American idea out of party poll
tics and give it home among all that
is wisest and best for the future indus
tries of the nation. No more hopeful
sign of progress is noted than this new
departure among the old free, trade
cotton raisers. Their help in the pres
ent tariff legislation is gladly accept
ed and appreciated.

this is not the general cry.
The two county teachers institutes,
white and colored, are holding forth
today at Karnes City, and the town is

young idea how to shoot.
Kennedy is already making arrange
ments to attend the Battle of Flowers

Bradley has succeeded IN preventing
the election of a United States sena-
tor, against the circumstances of all
the prominent Republicans in the
state. 1t is the smallest piece of spite
work that has been seen in so high
quarters in some time. The Kentucky
Republicans had it n ther power to
seat a United States senator of their
own party in Washington for six
years, and this for the first time since
reconstruction periods. Bradley by his
personal quarrel with the man whom
the state Republicans want for sena-
tor has defeated this and after short
term by special appointment there
will be another Democratic senator
from Kentucky. If Bradley ever re-
ceives anything again at the hands of
his party they will be as responsible
as he is.

wonderful how a town with few
