The wide spreading state Of Texas with a pop
ulation Of more than three millions according to
the last federal census. produces cattle than
any other commonwealth in the Union. and g.
much in advance OF any rival IN the number and
value OF the cattle within its borders. Moreover
it is ahead In its multitudes Of horses, mules and
goats. Its great stretches OF timber land are OF
immense value. and Its extensive investments in
the manufacture of lumber would alons make
the State notable but its production OF fruits and
vegetables is already enormous and is increasing
rapidly Texas Is making such progress in de-
velopment, and has such resources and possibIlI-
ties within it's huge area. that many millions Of
hard working immigrants could prosper in Texan
homes.

Hero the contrast is clear between a policy
which would change tariff rates when neces-
sary. but would always maintain the protective
principle. and policy which in revising the
schedules would founder blunderingly between
incidental protection" and tariff for reve-
nue. only" A realization Of Judge Parker's
hope would merely entail a new Morrison
Mills low tariff crusade in Congress- disturbing
business and ending at the best with another
fiasco like the WilsOn-GOrman bill.

Here the difference is strikingly enforced be-

party which only talks OF doing something.
Judge Parkers belief that "other laws" are not
needed 10 csTb the trusts is vigorously dis
sented from by the Democratic chief justice
and the two Democratic associate justices Of
the United States Supreme Court. And the
federal officials whom he criticises as having
neither the disposition nor the courage TO en-

no other than Grover Cleveland, the last Dem

1t is interesting to compare Judge Parkers S
utterances at Rosenlount on Wednesday with
utterances on similar topics in President Roose-
velrs speech OF acceptance. The two candi-
dates dealt-as they were obliged to deal-with
four great Questions-the money question,
trusts, the tariff and the question Of American
policy in the Philippines In what they say on
these four subjects we may fairly look for the
issues Of vital consequence in the present ma

BOSTON, Dec. 29.-Rumors of Law
son settlement were more persistent
than ever to-day. No verif1cation OF
the report that Everybody's Magazine
has changed hands and that the "fren-

could be had, nor OF the report that
Lawson is about to take trip to Eu-
rope. Lawson could not be reached at
his home or office and it develops that
he is locked up at hotel in conference
with some one and refuses to accept
any messages or to be interviewed.
1t is not believed that the stories Of a
settlement are well founded except that
threats have been made to Lawson. 1t
is understood that some time ago a
friend of H. H. Rogers offered Lawson
s500.000 in settlement, but that Lawson
claimed Rogers owed him $1,000, 900 and
would not settle for $500 900. Rumor Of
a check for the larger amount from
Rogers to Lawson has been current for
several days. but investigation by a
news agency has disproved the rumor
at its source every time

OAKLAND BOY
IN SAD PLIGHT
Found on Texas Desert in
Pitiable Condition, Due to
Exposure and Starvation
HIS MIND is A BLANK
Mother of Lad Communicated
With and She Sends Money
to Bring the Youth Home
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Ell PASO, Texas, Dec. 2s.-After
wandering for an indefinite period on
the desert in demented condition, his
clothing in tatters and his food such as
he could gather unobserved at night.
Robert Heider, the sixteen-year- old
son of Mrs. Maggie Heider of Oakland.
Cal, was rescued by the authorities of
Stanton, Texas, and is now aboard a
Sunset Limited train in care of DR.. j.
r. French, returning to his old home
on the Pacific Coast.
The boy was found in an old building
on the plains near Stanton. He was in
a pitiable plight and unable TO give an
account of himself. His mind was a
blank and he was unable to tell his
name or place of residence. He was
identified by means of letters found in
his pockets. A memorandum book con-
tanned notes showing that he had been
to the Worlds Fair and led those who
read them to believe that the lad had
lost his mind since leaving st. Louis,
probably through hardships encoun-
tered
brought a prompt reply. She wired
5000 to the Sheriff with instructions
that the small lunatic be sent home in
care of some competent person. DR..
French agreed to make the journey and
arrived here to-day with the lad chain
ed to his wrist. The boy is apparently
a hopeless idiot. He has lost one eye
and is wreck of humanity.
