Farmers Take Notice.

Hereafter we will not have buyers
driving the country for live stock, but
will give the farmers the benefit of this
expense by adding the cost of the buy
ing to the price of cattle and hogs
which will enable us to pay full prices
daily according to the tluctuation of
the Chicago market. We are in a po-
sition to handle all kinds of cattle and
pay highest market price daily for the
different grades. This will make Aus
tin the best local live stock market
west of Chicago, where farmers can de-
liver any day Cattle, Hogs, Sheep, Veal
and Poultry and obtain highest cash
market prices.
The following are the market prices

THE REGISTRATION Is GRATIFYING

The registration on Saturday has caused
joy in the hearts of the managers of the
Republican party in this county. They
claim, from the unofficial returns of the
result of Saturdays work, that majority
of those qualified are Republicans and
this added to the majority obtained on
the previous registration days causes no
doubt of the county rolling up substan-
tial Republican majority on election day.
just as encouraging reports have been
received from Kent and Sussex counties
and this, despite the fact that the Demo-
Gratis were we'll supplied with the long

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. G., October 22d.
A NEW turn has been given to the
- Democratic campaign by Senator
Culberson's sensational attempt to revive
the Panama issue. Mr. Culberson, in
speech made recently, denounced the
action of the President in recognizing the
Republic Of Panama and in negotiating
treaty with the new Republic, and
charged that the President fomented and
connived at the revolution. To support
these charges Mr.. Culberson exhibited a
letter written by the President to DIR.
Albert Shaw, in which President Roose-
veil said, Privately, freely say to you
that | should be delighted if Panama
were an independent State. or if it made
itself SO this moment; bnt for me to say
so publically would amount to all in
stigation Of revolt, and therefore | can
not say it," Building OH this letter,
Culberson sought to deceive liis audience
into believing that that President had
aided and abetted the Panama revolution |
a totally unwarranted deduction from a |
private letter which merely showed that |
the sympathy of the President was with
Panama rather than with Colombia.

The misunderstanding growing out Of
the assumption of sovereignty by this
country over the Panama canal strip
have afforded the President an oppor.
tunity to give the most reassuring pro-

anna, by means Of letter to the Secre-
tary OF War, that this country does not
intend, even within the rights granted
her by the Panama treaty, to impose on
Panama or to do anything which NAV
prove detrimental to the prosperity of
the new Republic. Secretary Taft has
been directed to proceed to the Isthmus.
there to ascertain the facts and all their
bearings and to confer with tie officials

by the interests of both nations may best

Despite the sneers of the partisan press
that President Roosevelt was ''playing
politics" when, on September 23d, he
promised the members of the Interparlia-
mentary Mon that he would soon call an
other peace conference at the Hague, he
has performed bis promise and even now
the invitations are going abroad to
American Ambassadors and Ministers to
be delivered to the rulers who, bv their
representatives, participated in the last
Hague convention. 1t has been argued
that it would be necessasy to await the
establishment of peace between Japan
and Russia before such move could be
made. This view is not entertained by
President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay.
The invitations have gone forth Will,
reasonable assurance that they will he
favorably received. The moral influence
of convention of most of the great ma
tions OF the earth assembled to promote
universal peace will, it is hoped, have its
influence on the Asiastic belligerents, if
they do not sooner cease their conflict,
and that influence cannot be had. The
call for the conference may even afford
them a graceful way of putting an end to
hostilities. Once more the President has
demonstrated that he is "a man who
does things"

All the circumstances connected with
Colombia's treatment of the HayHerran
treaty had been such as to deprive her OF
any sympathy. President Marroquin
had urged the Congress to ratify the
treaty, but powerful lobby had nulliiied
his efforts. This lobby pointed out that
that Panama Canal Company's franchise
would expire in the fall OF 1904 and urged
that, if Colombia could defer definite
agreement with the United States until
that time, she should declare the French
company's title forfeited and then de-
mand the $4O,OOO,OOO the United States
proposed to pay to the Company for the
franchise, title, etc. The Congress lis
tened to the alluring persuasion of the
lobby and lost all in grasping for more

This is another feature in the history
of Panama, however, which has not re-
ceived sufficient consideration. When,
in 1868, Panama entered the federation
of New Grenada, afterwards the United
States of Colombia, it was as a sovereign
State. She had her own legislature, en-
acted her own laws for domestic admin
stration. She was sovereign member of
confederacy Of States, not Union
She with her sister States, had delegated
certain powers to the Central govern
ment, but two-thirds vote Of the States
had the power to overrule any action OF
the Congress. She chose her own COVER
nor and other officials. She enjoyed
home rule. With 1885 came a complete
change in her fortunes. The President,
DIR. Nunez, set aside the constitution,
made and put in force new one, in the
making of which Panama had no part or |
voice, and under which Nunez became |
practical dictator Through no fault Of |
her own, with no pretense of right and |
by sheer force OF might, Panama lost the |
home rule she had so long enjoyed and
became province, under the absolute
command and despotism OF Govern
ment 800 miles away. From that day
until the day of her last revolution she
suffered every injustice that could be
upon an outraged State by a
;yrannical Government. Ofthe SIS, ,0OO,-
700 paid to the Bogota government for
he canal franchise, Panama received no
penny. Over $2,OO0O00 loaned by
Panama to the Bogota government was
etained and the debt repudiated. Size
lad been in an almost constant state of
Ineffective revolt for IS years. These
acts readily account for the satisfaction
# the American people when they learned
hat the Panama revolution was an ac-
omplished fact. Perhaps. too, they
argely account for the fact that when
he Panama treaty came up for ratifca-
ion sixteen Democratic Senators declared
themselves in favor of ratification, a.
gainst seventeen that opposed it, 1t is
ot feared that Mr.. Culberson will make
lany votes out of the Panama issue.

WHAT HAPPENED TO BOB.

Little Gov, La Eollette of Wisconsin
may still have enough life left in his
body to know by this time what run over
him, 1t was railroad train. How could
he have expected it to be otherwise?
This is what happened: Appeals went
out from the presidents of railroads in
Wisconsin to their brethern all over the
country to help down this political train
wrecker of the Badger state. This was
an opportunity to dispose Of him which
must not be neglected. And to man the
brethren responded. They went to work
among the national Committeeman from
their regions. and when the railroads
start out on a trail like that they are
able to use a good deal of steam.
Every railroad company in the U, S.
that knows its business makes a special
~ of attending to what are called the
fine points Of politics, one of these points
is TO make sure of having friends in the
organization of both the great political
parties. They may not be able to con-
trol primaries and delegates and voters
but they are strong when it comes to
the selection Of committeeman.
ut would be interesting to know how
many Of the members of the committee
that passed on the Wisconsin case paid
their fares to Chicago. At any rate, the
case of Gov. La Toilette and the half
breeds was lost before the members of
the national committee left home. Tor
aught know it was bad case, one
which deserved to be lost on its merits.
But it would not have made the slight
est difference had II been otherwise. If
La Follettee had been as regular as
Regulus himself, ne would have been
thrown ont just the same. The bullgine
had its orders 10 run over him. And it
obeyed. Ii took the national committee
Just one minute by the watch to decide
the case. And we could have done il
much quicker if It hadn't taken US a
few seconds to close tic doors said
