There is a misspprehension of
the Registration Law in the
country parishes of the State.
The statement has gone forth, and
has been accepted everywhere that
the new registration provided for
by the Legislature of 1902 was
completed and closed on the 10Th
day of February, and that no one
could be registered after that date.
Such is by no means the case.
The Constitution in article 213,
says that there shall be no regis
tfation within thirty days of an
election. The law providing for
q new election required that the
registry parishes should be kept
open for sixty days from Jan. /.
This same question came up 10 the
recent primary election Attorney
General Gulcn rendered an opin-
ion that while the registrars were
not required to keep regular Office
hours Offices we're supposed 10 be
opened for applicants for registra-
tons at any time up to within
thirty days of an election. The
Registration Act is 199 of 1898, a.
amended in 1902, but the foreeo-
ing is the substance Of the opinion
OF the Attorney General as given
recently. It means that the re-
gistrstion may yet be largely il.
creased 40 registration Offices
must be the subject to individual
applicants, although the registrars
cannot be made 10 keep regular
Office hours. 1t will. therefore
be seen that applicants may regis
ter at any time up to March 10. =

forward the several lines of worh
now under way.
Be it further resolved, that the
attention of the farmers of Texas
be called to the need of systema-
tic agricultural education through
out the state, and that members of
the Legislature or candidates for
the Legislature be urged to sup
port the interest of the farmers.
stock men and hcrticulturists by
making adequate provision for the
teaching of agriculture to children
in the elementary schools as q ne
cessary foundation for the more
advanced instruction afforded by
the A. and NJ. College and the
Girls Industrial School.
Resolved further, that the sup
port of the fsrmers' institutes, the
state experiment stations and the
agricultural features of the A. and
M. College are necessary to the
welfare of the masses, and it be-
comes the duty Of the Legislature
to make ample provision for the
support of these institutions FOL

SAND DRAGGED.

Referring to the sand bagging"
of Capt. O. B. Steele by the State
Central Committee, the Alexan-
dris Democrat says:
The action of the Committee is
absolutely indefensible and with
out justification from any point OF
view, either legal or equitable.
The wishes Of the people plainly
expressed at the primary election
were ignored with that supreme
nonchalance and supercillious con-
tempt characteristic of irrespon-
sible politicians inflated with 9
doubtful victory and drunk with
ill-gotten power. But there will
be a reaction. The day Of reckon
ing will come, when a long-sufer-
ing people will reassert their rights
and hurl from power q reckless
and irresponsible oligarchy, which
has for years and will continue to
ostracize indefinitely every man
who has the moral courage and
manhood to take issue with this
governing band Of political pirates.

Comprehend The Situation.
Resolutions on Cotton Farming
and Education.

Lifting the mass of farmers to q
higher plane of production is not
q little thing. Gains are. however,
being constantly made. Those
farmers organizations which con-
tribute most to this desired end
are most servicesble. Some have
played their part. valiantly and
passed from the stage of action
while others have sprung up to
champion the interests of the sol
and the fight for better farming
and better farm conditiong goes
increasingly on. The agricultural
press is seen constantly support
ing the good work wherever the
farmer's cause lie found battling
against the odds of ignorance, pre-
judice and superstition, within and
without.
We are pleased to note q recent
expression by the Executive Com
mittee of the Texas Cotton Con-
vention. which seems to broadly
comprehend the situation from q
producers standpoint and places q
guiding hand upon the mile post
that every farmer passes directing
him in the way and shedding q
light of promise upon the pathway
Of the rising generation of farmers.
These resolutions bear first upon
cotton production and then turn
their attention to the several forms
of agricultural instruction for the
people who have been 30 long neg
lected. These resolutions embrace
demonstration farms, experiment
stations. farmers' Institutes, agri-
cultural college instruction and
teaching the elements of farming
in the common school. The reso-
lutions follow:
To TEXAS CoTToN Crowns:
During the past year the Execu-
tive Committee of the Texas Cot
ton Convention has secured nu-
merous reports from successful
cotton growers in the boil weevil
and boil worm infested district,
and We are assured that protection
can be had in the weevil infested
district only by adopting cultural
plans a. q whole. This means fall
cleaning, deep blowing, early
breaking to secure firm seed bed,
early planting, wide rows, distance
in row, gathering early weevils and
cultivating continually until cot
ton opens. Poor land mnst be
fertillsed. It is q fact that increa-
sing the labor per acre is the best
way to- increase the yield of cotton.
This is better than increasing the
acreage.
We have given these instruc-
lions before and repeat them here
because they arc based on the ex-
pessence Of hundred of farmers as
given ia the printed matter distri-
buted by this Executive Commit
tee, and are in full accord with the
investigations of the Uuited States
Department of Agriculture con-
Quoted by experts and the authori-
ties Of the A. snd NJ. College. In
fact. the work now being done by
the General Government in behalf
OF cotton is in response to q de-
naud from the Cotton Growers
Convention and business interests
OF Texas, and therefore meets with
the hearty approval of this CON-
mittee.
In view of the fact that a large
volume Of work has been underta-
ken by the honorable Secretary of
Agriculture in behalf OF the cot

FAT PLACE,

THE PRESIDENT lacks q good deal
of being the best paid officer in the
service of the government. Attorney
General Moody has recently called at
tention 10 a better paid officer. This
is General Burnett, United States at
tOrney for the southern district of New
York. General Burnett's salary is
$1,000 a year. In fees he has been
earning upwards of sd, 900 annually. a
total OF $4,000 and more, actually paid
Linn by the government.
General Burnett's good thing is pos
sible the attorney general points out.
by reason of the fact that, while the
fee system has been abolished in United
states attorneys Offices generally. ex-
ceptions We're made in the cases of
General Burnett and the attorney for
The District of Columbia. The latter
official has not made an extraordinary
amount of money. General Burnett has.

+ THE FACTS relative TO the remov-
L al of Frank II. Cunningham, presi-
Gent of the National Association of Ru-
raj Mail Carriers, and James c. KEEL
lar president of the National Associa-
ton of Letter Carriers, are exactly as
stated. by Postmaster General Wynne,
the men are in no sense martyrs. They
were removed, according to Mr.. Wynne,
tor gross INSTRUMENTATION. Both were
absent without leave and after leave
had been expressly denied them.
1t may have been a somewhat arbi-
'rary proceeding for the postmaster
general TO refuse to grant leave of alb
sence to these men, but they certainly
had no business leaving their posts
without permission. INSTRUMENTATION
such as this could not be tolerated for
moment. 1t is rather a hardship on
the rural mail carriers and on the let
ter carriers to be denied the right to
work as organizations for increases of
lay and TO defeat congressman opposed
to them.
There are organizations of this char
acter in practically every business that
employs large number of men. And
the rural mail men and letter carriers
saw their superior officers in the service
stamping the country for President
Roosevelt and for Republican state and
,ocal tickets. They wonder, perhaps.
if Cunningham and Keller would have
Leen denied leaves of absence if they
had done all they could to elect every
Republican who was nominated for any
office. For our own part we believe
that Cunningham and Keller, in that
event, would have been treated with
great consideration.
Offensive craftsmanship is an elastic
expression. 1t means simply that the
man who is an offensive partisan is OBJ
posed to you politically. All others are
unselfish patriots who give of their
time and their means for the advance
ment of a great cause.
