Hits the Hypocrites Hard.

1t is seldom you hear or see quoted
anything that Nebraska paper says,
but here is something from the Me-
brasks City Conservative that is
worth reading and thinking about:
when on the street, or In the
church, you hear a strong, we'll
groomed, well-built man express ad-
miration for Mrs. Nation and her
work, just pass the word to him that
ii does not become a man TO stand in
background and hiss on a gray
headed woman to do the work he is
afraid to undertake. II he is cler.
gyman, say to him that II he believes
that men can be turned from their
ways with stone, or that people may
be brought to Christ with a Ratchet,
it is his duty to adopt those weapons
at once. Such work as that should
only be attempted by able.bodied
men, and theirs should be the right
to suffer the gibes, slurs, threats,
bestings and imprisonments con-
nected with it,"

Something About Beaumont.

During the month Of March there
we're 40 new gushers added to the
number Of spouters on Spindle Top
making the total number Of wells PA.
The total amount Of oil taken from
the wells for the month just closed Is
in the neighborhood Of 100000
barrels. or this amount about 5,OOO,-
900 is now stored on Spindle Top,
and the shipments and wasted ma
terial will fully complete the l2'oOO,'
900 barrels. The month was also
marked by the increased activity in
the construction Of storage tanks and
pipe lines. The storage capacity has
not been definitely determined, but is
known to be very large, both at Beau
mont and Port Arthur. There has
been another pipe line built to Fort
Arthur, one from the field to Beau
mont proper, and also a number Of
short lines which will add materially
to the shipping facilities.

About Rural Route Nail.

Those persons who get mail on the
rural routes ought to remember that
when they apply At the postofiics Tor
their mail that unless they maintain
boxes at the postoffice they cause
great inconvenience and delay to car
riers and clerks whom they ask to
hunt out their mail, especially is this
true. Most Of the patrons who want
their mail at postoflice and on route
both keep their boxes at the postoftice
and it is then easy enough to serve
them, but to demand free delivery at
both postoflice and on the route is
lust little bit inconsiderate; usually
it is impossible to sort over papers
for route patrons who haven't boxes
for the reason that all general delivery
route mail is turned over to the car
riers for distribution.

THIRTY PROVINCES pAcIFIED.
Real War In the Philippines Over--Only
Three Provinces Remain 10 BE Brought
Under Civil Control.

st. Louis, April l7.--Gov. Gen. Taft,
of the Philippines, who is here for
conference with worlds fair officials,
speaking Of the situation in the is
lands, said: 1.-THE real war in the is
lands is over when 30-provinces are
pacified and only three remain to be
brought under civil control. And ]
do not expect to see these three
provinces in rebellion very much
longer. Civil government is . sue
cess and the whole archipelago will
soon offer Q field for American en-
terprises. There are some delicate
questions that must be adjusted. The
church and the crown Of Spain were
closely associated in the possessions
and, when Spain transferred sover-
eighty and crown property to the
United States and the church prop
erty and religious functions were re-
tanned BY the church, . number Of
interesting questions were presented
which can probably better be set

Leavenworth Times: Senator Bur-

rights and privileges Of some Of the

San Antonio Telegraph: Senatorial
courtesy rarely il ever obtained a
greater elasticity than when a Kan

The Kansas man who goes to the SEN

therefore in open rebellion against

Demand for Pasture Land.

The demand for land In the entire
Mississippi valley, and even in the
territory to the farther west, has Of
late years been confined very largely
to improved real estate. There has
been decided eagerness for turning
over the sod and where the farms pur-
chased were not already under pillow
they were quickly made so BY the
earnest crop raisers. This has been
so throughout the newly opened In
dian lands until there IS in Oklahoma
practically one vast field, none ap.
parently wishing to save land for
pasture The frontier lands are also
well broken up and the settlers are
doing what was once before done,
preparing areas for crops when the
probabilities are that there will be in
the end a desertion TO the sunAower
and the tumbleweed.
One Of the coming demands Of the
west is to be pasture land. The cat
tie industry is being shut out Of a
large territory where 1t has for dec
AIDES had unlimited range. This
range is all the time lessening and
except in the purely arid regions
there is coming time when the
herds and ilocks will have no free
pasture. The demand for raw lands
Is certain to become one Of the most
positive Of western realty movements.
Indeed it is to degree present now
and pastures that can be furnished to
large herds Of cattle, with running
water or the possibility OF securing
enough water through wells and res
ervoirs, are bringing prices that a
few years ago were unknown. Rents
for these lands are higher than be-
fore and because Of this there is in
their possession very promising in
vestment.

Resolutions Adopted By Manufacturers.

indianapolis, Ind, April 17.-At the
National Manufacturer convention
yesterday resolutions favoring ship
subsidy legislation and the immedi-
ate construction Of the isthmian ca
nal were adopted without speeches.
A resolution against the bill now
pending in congress, known as the
anti-injunction bill, was not thought
to be worded strong enough and was
referred back to the committee to be
again reported this morning, and an
other resolution against the eight
hour working day legislation, now
pending in congress, was, after some
debate, adopted. The metric sys-
TEN resolution also was adopted.
