temporary organization 10 establish
a chautauqua in our fast growing city.
Prof. Harris was chosen temporary
president and Judge White secretary.
We enrolled about fifteen names,
some of them distinguished ladies'
and gentlemen from Texas and In
dian Territory. Committees were ap-
pointed for the different lines of work
and Friday morning was set for the
next meeting, when permanent or
ganlzation will probably be effected.
IL is our desire TO commence right
and organize with strong intellectual
force.
Our object Is TO obtain a plat of
ground from ten TO forty acres, erect
massive pavilion with a seating ca.
pacity OF 5000, and have room on
the campus for cottage camps for dis
tant visitors. We want nicely
shaded location. abundantly supplied
with Sulphur water. We expect TO
begin next year by holding six
weeks session, with Rev, Sam Jones

our delightful shades and take part
In the chautauqua exercises.
We invite all the newspapers, Chris.

First Baptist church. says the Bap-
lists failed to find in big Texas any
place near so good a site for a chau.
tauqua, and offers his help, etc. Tai
ented men of Oklahoma, Kansas
and Arkansas will all help. There is
no other such health resort as this
In the Southwest. and the worlds eye
has turned this way. The govern
ment has surveyed its reservation. the
railroad is in course of construction.
and so is the great chautauqua. We
expect to eclipse the Northern lakes
in our enterprise for we have such
great natural advantages. Everyone
should be ready to help put in theyery
heart OF this great Southwest an in.
stitution that will elevate the moral.
and spiritual standing of
our beautiful country. Anyone de-
string to know more of our enterprise

If the Government
EMPLOY DIAZ. of the United
States determines
to hang onto the Philippine Is
lands and to govern the people
thereof, we recommend President
Diaz, Of Mexico, as a man thoroughly
we'll experienced in governing mixed
races of brown people, and recommend
him for employment by our common I'm
Gle Samuel as an autocrat of the Philip
pine archipelago. He could be paid a
very large salary and thus lot of
money, life and trouble be saved. His
experience in dealing with mixed races
is far greater and much more satisfac-
tory than that of any of the politicians
who have been proposed by the Ameri-
can people for executive places in those
islands.

If q colony of

be organized here in the United States
for the purpose of founding a settle
ment in tbe republic Of Mexico, it
seems to us that success could almost
be assured. The colony should consist
of a thoroughly trained mining engi-
neer, an assayer, steam filter and gen.
eral plumber, good architect and
builder, a geologist and irrigation engi-
neer, a good pomologist and arboricul-
turist, good blacksmith and machinist,
good miller and baker, a dairyman and
a good all-around gardener. These men
should be not to exceed S5 years of age
nor under 25, and should all be married
to ambitious and helpful women. A
colony thus made up could plant itself
in the states of chihuahua or Durango
in the republic of Mexico and achieve
success and fortune beyond all question,
in a very few years.

CROKER
NOMINATED.

NOMINATED. flashed us the opin-
ion Of Rudyard
Kipling, who advises America to
intrust the work Of subju-
eating the Filipinos to "some high
toned despot Of unlimited powers"
Will Richard the Tiger Hearted, Of
Vantage, England, please assume an
innocent expression? If Croker really
aspires to rule the little brown men, why
in the name of Great Tammany did he
not voice his desires while yet an
American, instead of crossing the sea to
employ an English breech-clout poll
tician to further his propaganda?
Croker surely must have been in Kip
ing's mind when his facile pen traced
that potent sentence, for of all the acts
of high-toned depotism ever performed
in America, his has been "the heart to
resolve, the head to contrive and the
hand to execute" Mr.. Croker is nomi-
mated.

Cotton says: "Imi-
tation is the sincerest
fattery." Emerson re-
fers to imitation as
STOP
THEFT

Suicide" If the feelings of the editor
who sees one Of his articles appear in
another publication without proper
credit being given should be allowed to
govern his actions, Emerson's definition
would be the better. It would be sin
cere flattery to the editor from whom
the credit was stolen; it would be liter
ary suicide for the man who did the
stealing. Borrowing other mems
thoughts is not only thoroughly dishon.
est; it is a confession of the inability of
the thought thief to write anything
worthy Of his readers attention.
There is, however, very little "crab.
bing'' done by the modern publicist, as
the morale of the profession is extremely
high, and for the further, and probably
more potent reason that the editorial
highwayman is invariably caught red
handed, and exposed to the ridicule and
contempt Of the profession and its
clientele; but there are editors in exist
ence who, when the muse deserts them,
when sorrows Cypress or torpid livers
depress, open favored exchange, select
an editorial which pleases their fancy
and is not inconsistent with the policy
of their Journal proceed to credit the
opening lines of the article, and then
filch the remainder, forgetting the all
important quotation marks.
The Conservative has recently been
robbed in this manner by the editor of
aweekly journal Of national scope, who
very magnanimously credits the first
paragraph Of an editorial and then pro-
ceeds to filch the remainder, idea for
idea and figure of speech after figure Of
speech, merely changing "precise" to
'exact," and plugging in enough "pack
ing" to prevent the revised article from
being branded plagiarism in toto.
We call this "sincerest fattery" we
also call it suicidal to the reputation of
the offending paper and it's editor.

On February 18,
1909, it was the pleas
ure Of the editor of
The CONSERVATIVE
PRESIDENT
.DIAZ.

THE CONSERVATIVE
to be presented to President Diaz by the
American minister at the city Of Mexi-
co, Powell Clayton. President Diaz is
70 years Of age, but remarkably well
preserved and very vigorous in health,
both physical and intellectual. He is
said to be seven-eighths Indian and one
eight Spanish. He is about five feet,
nine inches in height, and Of compact,
muscular build, with great elasticity of
movement of body and alertness of mind
He speaks very little English. His wife,
who is an accomplished woman Of about
40, is, however, a most excellent and
tactful interpreter between her husband
and those who visit him. She is thor
oughbred Spanish woman, whose maid
en- name was Rubio. She is Of very at
tractive person and manners and would
grace the best centers of society in any
civilized country.
Porfirio Diaz is man of remarkable
record and unparalleled as to the length
of his career in public service. On the
day above named, in the course of the
conversation, Madam Clayton, the wife
of the American minister, asked Presi-
dent Diaz how old he was when he
entered his first battle, and he replied
that he was 81. Whereupon Madam
Clayton, with true maternal instinct,
declared that If she had been his mother
she would not have permitted his pres
ence in battle at that age. Quickly
President Diaz replied: "But my mother
sent me to the battle and made me Co."
For more than fifty years Diaz has
been in public position in the republic of
Mexico. There is no instance of simi-
lar career among any of his oontempora-
ries In fact, The CONSERVATIVE re-
calls no man in the present century who
has stood for fifty years in the glare of
public life with the eyes of all his coun-
trymen turned upon him and yet def
antly challenging with success the criti-
oisms of the whole world as to his pa
triotism and fidelity to duty.
In curio cabinet in the room where
our interview took place were two bull
let's which Madam Clayton pointed out
as having been extracted by the sur
geons from the body Of President Diaz
after battle which was fought many
years ago. We were all looking with
eager eyes at these trophies Of the sur
geon's art, when Madam Diaz with q
bright light in her eyes said: "It is
better that they should be in the cabinet
than in the president.
Our entire party, consisting Of the
editor, his son, Paul Morton, and Mr..
Reynolds Moron, were delighted with
the suavity and hospitality which char
acterized President Diaz and his accom-
plished and estimable wife. We were

THIS Is EASY.

The New Orleans Picayune is not so hopeful of the enforce ment of separate coach law in Louisiana as it might be. It could profit by the experience of Arkansas. The Picayune says:
 Tt is not q separate-car bill, but 1t provides that the rail roads must provide separate, but equal, accommodations for the two races. Anyone who has any acquaintance with railroad corporations knows the compa- nieS that are to be affected bv this bill will obey 1t in the man. ner that entails upon them the smallest amount of expense and trouble. They will not operate separate cars; they will not run trailers-one for the whites and one for the blacks. What they will do is to put up some sort of partition, probably a curtain or other temporary and movable device in the present cars, set ting apart the space on one side for the negroes, and on the oth- CT for the whites, and in order to get to the special com partment intended for their kind the negroes will have to pass through that of the whites, or the whites must go through that of the negroes. There will be no separate cars, and as lit tie actual separation as will enable the railroad corporations to give sort of compliance with the law. "
 The separate-coach law in Ar kansas is generally observed bv the railroads, and there is less complaint from the negroes than was predicted; in fact, the con ditions are generally accepted as matter of course, and even the negroes in many instances ad- init that the law is a good thing. It is likely that the Picavune is borrowing trouble. Similar predictions were made when the Arkansas law went into effect, but they have not been verified. We predict that the railroads will do better than the Picavune imagines Ark. Democrat.

SOUTH AFRICAN FIGURES.

Shortly before the beginning of the late struggle i'll South Ali rica Paul Kruger, president of the South African republic, made his famous prophecy that if the burghers were finally con quered by the British 1t would only be at a cost which would stagger humanity. At the time when this prophecy was made 1t was received with consider able merriment and ill-concealed disdain i'll England and else where. Now the South African war IS at an end and "Oom Paul s" prophecy, although it can scarcely properly be said to have been fulfilled, has at least received some share of justiica- tion The struggle lasted two years, seven months and twen- ty days. During that time the British losses footed up the very considerable total of nearly 22,- 000-21 ,666 to be exact-officers and men killed, nearly 10000 captured and more than 10000 invalided home.
