Dear sir: Replying to your open
letter addressed to me through the
Waxahachie Enterprise, asking my
views on the lease laws ofthis state,
i submit the following statement,
which 1 think clearly defines my po-
sition on this question:
/ believe every acre of the public
lands of this state should be open TO
purchase by the actual settler just
as soon as there is a demand by
those wanting homes. Until there
is such a demand for these lands
/ favor leasing them on such a bas-
is as will insure the best returns to
our available school fund, since
about one-eighth of this fund now
comes from land leases.
With the exception of tnIrty-ffve
counties in the western part of the
state, practically all public lands
are now subject to purchase or will
be on the market by April 10, 1906.
These thirty-five counties constitute
what is known as the Absolute
Lease District. In this district
lands under lease can not be pur-
chased prior to termination of lease,
which in no ease can run longer
than five years. AT the expiration
of the lease all sections on which
there has not been placed 5000 worth

RESPITE OF TWO WEEKS
EXTRADITIoN OF COL. GAYNOR AND
CAPT. GREENE AGAIN DELAYED.
Arguments in Habeas Corpus Proceed
inSs Heard and the Prisoners
demanded to Jail.

QUEBEC, July 19.-Colonel Gaynor and
tractors who are wanted in Savannah, Ga,
for alleged frauds in government harbor
work. were given another respite of two
weeks by Judge Caren in the Superior Court
to-day. Judge Caren heard arguments by
counsel for the United States government
and for the prisoners on writs of habeas
corpus issued at the request of the pris-
oners' legal advisers. When the lawyers
nounced that he would hand down a de-
cision in about two weeks and remanded
the prisoners back to the care of the sheriff.
Gaynor and Greene occupy luxurious quar-
tiers at the Chateau Frontenac, where they
are guarded by deputies. Should the writs
be vacated the extradition proceedings will
be heard on their merits in Quebec.
Mr.. Stuart, one of the counsel for the
United States government, opened the pro-
ceedings this morning in behalf of the
prosecution. He followed by Senator
Dandurand who addressed the court in
French. both he and Mr.. Stuart quoting
numerous authorities in support of their
motion to dismiss the writs. MeSsrs. Tas-
chearu and Gervais also argued the case
for Greene and Gaynor, and Mr.. McMas-
ters's reply 10 their remarks closed the
arguments.
Judge Caren remanded the prisoners ui-
til Friday next, but remarked that on that
day a further remand of eight days would
probably be given, as he did not think he
would be ready to render judgment for at
least a fortnight.

THE VULGAR VOICE.
1t Is Easily Recognized, but Difficult,
to Define.
Harper's Weekly.


What constitutes the vulgar voice? In
an article, the reading of which may be
recommended to the legion of teachers of
voice production and their pupils, a writer
in the London Spectator concludes that
this evidence of Vulgarity Springs, like
almost all Vugarity, however displayed,
chiefly from two causes-an undue love of
ccnSpicuousness and an undue fear Of the
same" The person whose chief aim is to
keep him or herself In the eye OF the
world rarely makes a remark without de-
string that it shall reach the ears of
others besides the one directly addressed,
and here the peculiarly false sound of the
voice is attributed 10 the absence of single
ness of motive On the other hand. the
wavering tone and affected accent of the
timid vulgar are ascribed TO another form
OF nslncerity, namely the wish TO
initiate others with whom one happens to
be, when they are of a supposedly higher
social standing. The attempt is sure to
fail, and result only in the suppression
of all evidence of the speakers own
persOnality-in the voice as well as in the
manner. Thus sincerity paramount in all
art. Is basic in breeding as well, which is
the art of life. SO far, so good. if the

FOOTBALL RULES.
Game Ceasing to Be Interesting to
the Public.

New York Evening Post.
We sincerely hope that the college asso-
Citations will generally accept the modifca-
tons of the American Rugby rules proposed
by Mr.. Walter Camps advisory committee.
The suggestion that Will most readily strike
the average onlOoker as an Improvement is
that for the exchange of goals after each
touchdown scored. The present arrange
ment which admits of change only after
the first half is complete, gives an undue
advantage to the side which is first favored
by the wind or the condition of the field. \
more frequent change OF goals will also help
the ill-placed spectator by bringing the play
frequently to his part of the field. The pro-
vision practically abolshing the place kick
for goal is also commendable. This always
involved a tedious delay. and gave too much
weight TO a kind of kick not otherwise serv-
iceable in play. 1t may be assumed that the
colleges Will readily accept these slight
amendments to the playing rules of their
favorite game, but while Mr.. Camp and his
colleagues are upon this matter, We wish
these old players might take a wider view
OF the whole matter of American football
and Go something TO restore the more inter-
eSting open game.
This could easily be accomplished after a
diagnosis of the present weakness Of the
game Football becomes year by year less
interesting to all except the initiated, be-
cause the rules give an undue Importance
to the possession of the ball. When either
side is required to gain only five yards in
three rushes, the game reduces itself large
~ TO sharp, short rushes of about two yards
each. 1t is true that these short advances
involve much strategy and the skillful CO.
operatio of every member of the team.
but all this is lost upon the layman, who
sees only an tndiscriminate tumble of play
ers, and recognizes vaguely rare opportuni-
ties for ugly play. That is where foot
ball is to-day. in the eyes of all but cx-
perts. The remedy, of course is to make
the mere possession of the ball less i'm
portant and these painful advances bad
tactics. The could easily be accomplished
by requiring the ball TO be advanced ten
yards instead of five in four downs. Such
a rule would force evenly matched teams
to depend upon swift running instead of
close rushes, would greatly increase the
amount of kicking-always a beautiful feat
ure Of fOotball-and generally would make
the game as interesting to watch it was
when Mr.. Camp and Mr.. DashieH were as
mighty in the field as they are now in coun-
eli

FIRST GREAT MILITARY POST.
Secretary of War Root Orders Its Es-
tabIishment at ChicIamRuga.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Secretary Root
to-day gave the final order for the estab-
lishment Of the first of the four great mill
tary posts, which are TO be the gathering
places of the United States forces in case
of war, and in time of peace are TO be
great training schools for both regulars
and militiamen. This, the first post, will
be at Chickamauga. Secretary Root has
allotted S45O,OOO for the construction of
post there, calculated to accommodate one
full regiment of cavalry and one company
of artillery, which force is to be the nu-
cleus of the future great military post.
General III. V. BoyntOn, president of the
Chickamauga Park Commission, has been
able 10 secure nearly twO-thirds of the
square mile of land required for the post
proper, and the remainder Will be sought
by condemnation proceedings. As this tract
adjOins the Chickamauga National Park,
the troops viii have the run of the ten
square miles comprising that tract during
large maneuveTs.
The medical board, which was charged
with an investigation Of the report that
typhoid fever prevailed among the troops
now lying in Chickamauga Park under
canvas, has made a most careful eXamina-
ton and has reported that there is no
foundation for the statement. The report
says that the water in the park is pure
and wholesome and the health conditions
are perfectly normal the typhoid cases
being purely sporadic.
