Educate The Masses.
Texas Farm and Ranch


accomplish more than that for
which they are fitted or trained in
childhood. Educate the children
TO the manufacturing life, as in
the great cotton spinning centers
of England and the population in
sists on following the calling of
the fathers through such vocation
entails hardship and penury. The
sailors of the world are recruited
in seaports and the majority of
merchants are townsmen.
Early education not only deter
mines the kind of work done, but
its degree and quality. If high
standards of life's work are kept
before children, or better, if they
are trained to know the higher
forms of that work, the level of
achievement is raised accordingly.
How important it is that high
standards of farming be pressed
upon the minds of the younger
people living in this vast agricul-
tural region called "the South
west" These now fragil child
units will soon dominate the en-
tire farming situation. Will it be
for good or evil? While the same
claims may be safely made as to
their influence on all other call
ings we must admit that farming
is most important because funda-
mental. This is the great ques-
ton among our economic problems
-"What kind of farmers are we
rearing?"
Could our young people be train
ed early to master the soil and it's
growing crops, subdue the live
stock and render them of greater
service to the world, then the f.
nancial aud economic systems of
the world would soon be readjus-
ted to suit, to fit, to respond to
this fundamental, primary, all i'm
.portant calling. But with the
principles of farming so little un-
derstood by the masses of farmers
the industry rests on precarious,
uncertain base from the dangers of
which the world has been saved
only by opening up new or virgin
lands. With such a shifting base
Arcbimedes has no safe fulcrum
on which to rest his lever. There
fore the commercial world turns
at will and the farming class are
made to pay just every cent the
trade will bear. 1t has been so
ordained for centuries. The COLI
troll of the home farm is the kew to
the entire situation. Mastery of
farm conditions will alone give
that mental and commercial power
that enables the farmer to live up
to the independent ideals so often
portrayed by agricultural writer's.
Let no time be wasted in setting
ON foot those educational plans
which mean 30 much for the farm
ing classes, financially aud socially.
Unless we train the child TO the
mastering of farm conditions and
invite him to study the human life
problems that have to do with the
farm, the rising generation will |
rise no higher than tlfe present so
lar as pertains to standards of liv-
ng and agricultural efficiency. |
The way has been plainly marked |
md the work is earnestly begun
N many states. The Southwest
should be no laggard in the race
or agricultural proficiency.

the subject. 1t is in line with the ideas
of the men who first framed and passed
the interstate commerce act, and it's
passage was seriously considered by
the administration last winter.
But the bill was only pretext The
president and Foraker, it is learned,
quarreled. The real trouble, as Fora
ker has confided to friends, was Roose-
Velts desire to play both ends against
the middle He sent Foraker in Ohio
TO Go certain political work for him
which necessitated a measuring Of
strength between the Hanna and For
aker forces in the state, and then,
While Foraker was away and taking
the brunt of the presidents fight, the
latter sent to Hanna and made a
dicker with him. Foraker claims that
he was given to understand that the
president would stand behind him
and wanted him to make a fight on
Hanna which would overturn his DOW
er in Ohio This, Foraker says, he was
prepared to do, and was willing to con-
tribute 100000 from his private purse
for the sinews of war. But Roosevelt,
he claims, lost his nerve and before
the fight was fairly started sent the
white flag to the chairman of the ma
tienal committee and surrendered. BY
which Foraker was left with fresh
trouble at home and discredited by his
friends. and enemies alike.
But this was not enough. In order
to leave no doubt as to the fact that
he was no longer hostile to Hanna.
and apparently as sop to the chair
man of the Republican national com
mittee, Roosevelt took advantage of the
repeal bill introduced by Foraker to
repudlate the latter in an open and Of
fetal manner. Attorney General Knox
was selected as mouthpiece, and the
unprecedented course was adopted Of
wholesale denunciation of a measure
which had scarcely reached the public
printer, and had not even been referred
to a subcommittee.

CHANCE FOR RANSOM

Two guns and pair of blankets were

No self-respecting fence would think of
buying any of the plumber, but high priced
officers and expensive detectives are
spending much valuable time trying to Sc
cure their return. If they are not re-
covered their disappearance must be ac-
counted for at large expense.
A board of survey will be ordered. 1t
will consist Of three commissioned Off
GERS. They will sit in solemn state and
survey the place where the guns and
blankets are not. They will have to be
shown that the articles We're properly
cared for and that no responsibility rests
on the parties charged with the care of
them. Being satisfied that the goods were
stolen the board of survey will solemnly
declare on their honor as officers. and
cross their hearts, that the good of the
service requires that the goods should be
replaced or accounted for as being dis
carded for the good of the service
The plumber secured by the thief might
be worth So But it is necessary to show

ing an important communication that
will prepare this government for the
course of action Japan is generally eX-
pected to take. He gave the acting
secretary resume of the negotiations,
pointing out the patience with which
Japan had waited for more than
reasonable time for the Russian reply
The minister said Manchuria had al
ways been considered by Japan a vital
part of the negotiations. This fact
leads the officials here to believe that
Russia's refusal to make a treaty on
this point will be followed by war.
Mr.. Takahira said he was not sur
prised to hear that Mr. Kurino, the
japanese minister, was preparing to
depart from the Russian capital. In
view of the activity of the Russian
military forces, the Japanese believe
that Russia is bent on war. Special
emphasis is placed by Japanese Off
to Admiral AIexieff, head of the war
party, for final revision. Another
strong indication of war, in the opin-
ion of the Japanese, is the warning
given by the Russian officials to the
Japanese officials at Vladivostock to
the Japanese commercial agent that a
state Of siege might be expected any
time.
At the Japanese legation it is said
an important announcement may be
made to the American people within a
short time.

FINDS COAL DEALER
SOLDSHORT WEIGHTS
Jury Returns a Verdict of
Guilty Against Robert
LOux.

The jury in the case of Robert LouX,
charged with selling short-weight tons
of hard coal, returned with verdict
of guilty yesterday afternoon, after be-
ing out two hours.
Morton Barrows and Stan Donnelly,
attorneys for Loux, say they will APP
peal the case on the ground of an I'M
fair charge to the jury by Judge Fine
bout. The defense argued that LouX's
scales were not in a condition to regis
ter accurately, and that as he was I'M
aware of the fact the intent necessary
to constitute crime was absent.
Judge Finehout, in his charge to the
jury said:
IF you find that defendant sold less
than a ton Of coal as ton, return with
verdict of guilty without consider
ing the intent further than that it is
presumed from the doing of the act
which the law has defined as criminal"
Judge Finehout ruled so because the
evidence showed that the defendant
had failed to have his scales tested, as
required by law, and that it was his
duty to see that they were accurate,
and not that of the public, with whom
he was dealing; that his failure to do
so constituted intent to defraud.
This is the third trial of LOux on
the same charge. He was previously
fined $50, and a disagreement of the
jury resulted in the second trial.

SINKS UNDER WATER
Unknown Man Slips From Ice
Into River and Is Drowned.

Help! Quick, are you never COM
ing? 1 am freezing to death. can't
stand it any longer-I must reach the
other side or diet"
So cried an unknown man as he
stood on small piece of floating ice
in the open channel of the river be-
low the Broadway piers at 1870 this
morning.
The sound of his voice attracted the
attention of dozen switchmen work.
ing in the Milwaukee freight yards
near the depot. They ran to his aid
with ropes and planks, but could not
reach him. Just as his last despair
ing cry rang out, they heard a splash,
bubbling sound. and then all was
quiet. The man mad gone beneath the
ice
Tired of attempting to hold on to
the narrow piece of ice on which he
floated in the middle of the channel,
half frozen and benumbed with cold,
he made one last attempt to reach
the edge of the ice which led to safety
on the shore. He failed and his life
was the forfeit
According to the story which the
trainmen tell, the man crossed the
river a few hundred feet below the
Broadway piers, near the Val Blatz
brewery. When he came to within
forty feet of the depot side of the riv-
er he was seen by the light of a pass
ing locomotive by several of the train
men, who cautioned him not to at
tempt to cross further on account of
the open ice.
He said that he would attempt it, and
did so. He, fell into the open channel
and tried to get to the other side He
failed, but a detached piece of ice en-
abled him to float for awhile until he
became frozen.
Time and again he attempted to
crawl onto the solid ice, and time and
again he failed. At last, when he could
no longer hold on, he made one des-
perate effort to reach safety.
There may have been two men who
fell in the river The man of whom
the railroad men know positively that
he was drowned, continually cried for
Frank" which gave rise to the con-
lecture that he had a companion.
After the cries of the man attracted
the attention of the people on the river
bank, someone telephoned to the Du-
cas- street police station, and the patrol
wagon, with a load of officers, went to
the scene. With the aid of a plank and
length of rope they tried to reach
the man, but failed.
At no time after the passing Of the
locomotive, which revealed the man on
the ice, was he visible to the people
on the shore. The small hand lights
which the trainmen carry were not
sufficient to reveal his features.

Upon Us to Act.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 6.-Si-
simultaneously at the state and navy de-
partments today the announcement
was made that serious state Of af-
fairs is prevalent in San Domingo.
Complaint has been made to the state
department by the owners of the San
Isidro plantation that their property
has been besieged, and an appeal is
made for immediate relief. Other
Americans having interests in San
Domingo have made similar COM
plants.
A cablegram was dispatched to Rear
Admiral Wise, commanding the train
ing squadron now at Guantanamo, in
structing that officer to take immediate
and effective steps for the adequate
protection of American life and prop
erty in the Dominican republic, limit
ing his course of action at all times to
the recognized tenets of international
law.
Rear Admiral Wise is expected to
proceed at once in his 1agships the
Minneapolis, to Dominican waters and
make a personal investigation. The
Columbia already has been ordered to
return to San Domingo from Guam
tanamo, where she went for coal, and
the Hartford will be ordered back from
the same place.
The San Isidro plantation is owned
by the Bartram brothers, Of New
York. 1t is managed by an American
named Bass.
