WE are glad to note that Mr.
Wooten, before whose committee In the
house the proposed anti trust bill will
come, expresses himself as favoring
an amendment to the bill providing for
limiting the operation of the law to
the state of Texas alone. So far as
the insurance companies are concerned
such an amendment would remove the
chief objection to the bill. It would
not modify it's hsrshness in other d.
rections, as already pointed out, but
like all state legislation of this charac-
ter, there " i'll never be any serious at
tempt made to enforce it to the letter.
However, this is in our view one of
the strongest reasons why the bill
should be killed. No law should be
put on the,statute books unless it is
meant to be enforced, and as long az a
law is on the books it should be enforc-
ID. For our part, we hope that If the
bill is passed, the .lsw will be rigidly
enforced to the very letter from the day
If its enactment, SO as GO disgust the
people as soon as possible with the law
md its trainers, and arouse an irres sti-
lie demand for its repeal.

have to shut up shop or not. But the
astounding thing about it all is that
after all that has been said about the
appalling condition in Arkansas under
the same law, about the conditions
that are certain to obtain here II the
law is passed and enforced, about the
destruction of credit and the stagna-
ton of business, inevitable under the
conditions imposed by the new law
after all this the merchants and bust
ness men of this city calmly sit around
and twirl their thumbs while q few In
surance agents take action in their own
immediate interest.
In Dallas, for Instance, the CONNER
cial club took the initiative, and mass
meeting, in accordance with call, WAS
largely attended. A committee was
appointed which drew up resolutions
and presented their report at second
mass meeting. We print these resolu
tions on this page today. The bust
ness men in every town and city but
this had interest enough in the matter
to get together and formulate pro-
test that must have some weight with
our holy rulers at Austin.
What Ia needed in this town is q bet
ter understanding among business men
with a:view to promoting the common
interest, and an organized body to
play the very necessary role of leader
in such crisis as the present. Here
there Is no man in the commercial
world who is recognized as having au-
thority to issue call for q business
mems mass meeting. The authority
of an organization would go long
ways toward bringing about CONNER
cial solidarity in this city.
It is not too late to have another
mass meeting that would be attended
by at least two hundred leading bust
ness men, where the whole question
would be discussed and protest sent
to sAustin that would have some
weight, along with the similar COM
munications from other places, to as
sure modification of the proposed bill
before it is passed.

A COMMERCIAL CLUB NEEDED.

Never has this city been in greater
need of strong and representative
commercial club than she is right at
this moment. The proposed anti trust
legislation now pending in the state
legislature would be if enacted q
deadly blow to the industrial pros
perity or advancement OF the state.
Reasons innumerable have been ad-
vanced why the bill contains many vi
cious and thoroughly harmful fea-
lures. Yet there is reason to believe
that the legislature will pass it sub
stantially in the shape in which it was
presented, as political measure. All
over the state of Texas the business
men of every class have been aroused,
and the capitol at Austin has been de-
luged with messages and over
run with business men and their
representatives who realize
Mass meetings have been held in every
town. Petitions have been circulated,
and every possible pressure has been
brought to bear to defeat the bill, or
at least to secure its modification with
regard to the insurance clause. But
here, in the metropolis of the south
west, the largest city between Fort
Worth and Los Angeles, as we are
proud sto designate ourselves-here
where every material interest is
likely to be so vitality affected by the
proposed legislation, a call for mass
meeting of merchants, agents. labor
representatives, and others interested |
Is answered by only thirty-fve people, |
who let few insurance agents do it
all.
1t is true that several different oc-
equations were represented the other
night at the meeting. There were
lawyers, merchants, railroad men, and
general agents, as we'll as insurance
agents: but there seemed to be no dis
position to extend the discussion be-
yond the immediate interests of the in
surance agents, and the resolutions
that were adopted were given the least
possible weight by having them pre-
pared by trio of insurance agents.
The insurance agents are the last
ones to be considered in this matter.
They are comparatively few in number,
and except in general way the COM
munity does not particularly care

Charles Broadway Rouss Follows His
Own Precedent.

New York, Sept. 29.-Perhaps the only
merchant in New York who will keep
his store open on Saturday, the day of
the Dewey land parade. is Charles
Broadway Rouss, the millionaire gem
eral waresman, of No. $40 Broadway.
New Workers, who are familiar with
the eccentricities of Mr.. Rouss, will
not be surprised at this, and the facts
OF his history tend more to indicate
obedience to lifetime habit of cease
less industry than the act Of a person
inspired by contempt for the hero of
Manila.
Mr.. Rouss' story has often been told.
He has sign hanging in his office re-
lating it. 1t sayS-in language spelled
according to his idiosyncratfc habit,
phOnetically-that he came to New
York penniless and $51, 600 in debt, and
tells how any man of today may be the
capitalist of twenty-five years hence,
like himself.

says. Why should any one else2''
Mr.: Rouss has followed the career of
Admiral Dewey.
So Mr.. Rouss was asked yesterday
what he intended TO do with his great
store on Saturday, when the hosts on the
heels of Dewey are marching Broadway.
He had just returned from Virginia.
The trip had bade him ill. For several
days he has been lying couch in his
on1ce, seeing nothing and hearing only
the clfnk of gold across his counters. He
will probably dieat No. $40 Broadway.
When he heard the question, he paused
long and knit his brows Then he said:

CAN'T GET TOGETHER.
Trouble Continues Among Promoters
of Cotton Combine.

New York, Sept. 29.-The Tribune
says:
Much uncertainty prevails as to the
prospect for the combination of print
cloth mills. Two of the three syndicates
which within the past few months nave
been endeavoring to effect the consold-
alton of the New England mills have
abandoned negotiations, but the third
represented by Nelson G. Green OF this
city, is still in the fields.
The New England mill owners have
within the last few days renewed the
price agreement for the sale of their
output, but this agreement, which is
usually for six months, is this time to
run only to January 1, on which date,
it is said, Mr.. Green's options become
effective. 1t is understood that the
plans of the Green syndicate contem-
plate the formation of a great corpora
ton, with a capital approaching $2OO,-
OOO, 900 to embrace all the print cloth
mills both north and south.
Thomas Branch & Co, bankers OF
Richmond Va, who have secured op-
tions on a large number of important
southern mills, have just made a con
tract with a local syndicate, headed by
Charles r. Flint, whereby the syndicate
will furnish all the capital necessary for
the purchase of the mills, and their con-
SOlidation into a company with a capt.
tai of perhaps $1OO 900. 1t was rumored
yesterday that this consolidation might
prove to be only part of the general
combination plant with which Mr..
Green's name has heretofore been assO-
ciated.

brown body, however, high on an upper
limb, and just then a familiar grunt
told me the fellow was a babOOn. Not
daring to move for fear of noise,
tried the difficult shot of aiming
straight up. There was a howl of pain
and a crashing of bOughs and limbs
that warned me to jump from under.
But the fellow caught himself even as
he fell, and before L could locate him
1 heard him off like a streak. From limb

The Only Woman Who Has Pene-

[From the New York Herald
There passed through New York the
other day, en- route to her home in Gin
cinnati, an attractive looking young
woman with a trunkful of trophies of
her ability as a hunter of big game.
Three tenanted cages also bore testi-
mony to her prowess as a huntress.
The wife of Thomas Lindsey, a min
ing engineer. her steady aim has won
her honor as a rifle shot in the contests
in which she has participated under
the pseudonym of Wanda" and now
she had the added honor of being the
first white woman to penetrate the
Guiana jungle. A leopard skin. the
tusks. paws and brushes of other big
game and the skins of snakes which
she has brought home tell a story in
themselves. The live trophies she has
are young ape, a still younger sloth
and wild parrot. How Mrs. Linds-
ley became a hunter of big game is
thus told by herself:
In Surinam, Dutch Guiana, you must
know, if an Indian or a 'Dush-nigger'
promenades through sunshine clad in a
handkerchief and a shoestring people
would not even turn their heads to re
gard the curiosity, but the idea that a
white woman should enter the jungle
made them throw up their hands in
holy horror. However, went. A mu-
