There's a Good Time Coming.

Last spring The News bad an
idea that the Texas cattle rails
ers, especially those north OF
'the line" would enter, with
the rising of grass, another pros
porous era for the business.
Many others of more discerning
Judgment in this direction were
of the same opinion, but these
predictions, although based on
logical grounds, so far have ut
terly failed to materialize,
That periods of extreme de-
preston of several years dura-
ton, followed by periods of
rank prosperity, just happen
along by chance, as some exper-
fenced cattlemen assert, finds
no Judgment with The News
Mind you. the cycle theory
periods of ups and downs-is
not here denied, but only the
chance or luck" of it. Cattle
are no more affected by chance
or luck than is corn or small
grain, in fact all are alike in be-
ing regulated by the intieXi Die
rule of supply and demand.
And, in considering this matter,
we must not overlook the well
known fact that the markets
nearly always gauge the supply
base by the quantity offered TOR
sale.
At this particular time unusu-
al conditions are prevailing all
over the Texas ranges. Lands,
State, corporation and private,
heretofore used almost entirely
for grazing purposes, are being
sold for farming. Never before
have SO many settlers come into
the country; never before has
land climbed up in price as it is
climbing now. In Randall
County for instance the Block"
lands are being sold for farm
ing" the Adair ID Al ranch is
being parceled out and many
other lands, heretofore used ex-
clusively as cow pasture are
going into the hands Of "tbe
man with the hoe" AS result
of this, whole herds, root branch
and any, good condition or bad
condition, are being showed off
to market. And when we con.
slider that this showing process
is going on all oyer West Tex
as, and not only here but on the
ranges of New Mexico, may we
not see in il one cause of de-
preston of prices:
Cattle are necessity, the
world must and will have meat
as well as bread, and when this
unusual rush is over and nor
NAL conditions once more pre-
vail, cattle prices are as sure to
advance as twice one is two.
There's a good time coming
for the cattle raiser and its not
far off either.

place it in the box for the carrier to
take back to the postofice, and on its
return, the postmaster will officially

breakfasting at the Bellevue had
such a tumbler pat before him, and

looked pretty bad, but assured the

good water. Then said the latter:

Arkansas Letter.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
For the last month or two there
has been welcomed and highly
appreciated visitor coming to our
home each week. His name is Dis
patch from the good old Palmetto
State, where my father, mother,
brothers and sisters are ali at rest,
and in reading over the Dispatch I
see 30 many names that I knew when
I was boy and some Of them were
my school boys. It causes my mind
to run back and think over my boy
hood days until it brings tears to
my eyes, and when I think of mother
who crossed the dark rolling river
when I was quite a boy, Oh, how
sad I feel!
Mr.. Editor, I could not do with
out the Dispatch. My son-in.law
sends it to me.
Arkansas ia fine country. We
have q Democratic State and fine
man for Governor. He is filling his
third term. His name is Jeff Davis.
We have plenty Of schools and
churches. We have a nice little
town in this county. It is the
county site of Grant county and has
one railroad through it. There is
one stove factory, one canning fac
tory, one saw mill, grist mill, shingie
mill and gin combined. It is good
healthy place, with good water and
good people to live with. Any man
on the lookout for S locality to locate
and do business will find that this
is the very place he has been looking
for. Come and see.
Mr.. Editor, / would like to hear
from some of the old Confederate
boys. Tell them to write to me as
I would be ever so proud to receive
letter from them. I would like to
come back to dear old Lexington one
time more before I answer the last
roll call.
Well, I will close by saying that il
this don't find it's way to the waste
basket I will believe that the Dis.
patch has not got one. Success to

bank of the town near which he lived
was to borrow SO to move his crop.
The teller has referred him to the
cashier and the cashier to the presi-
dent himself, and that official had
smilingly agreed that the agricultu-
raj good of the land needed such
help, and that Sam should certainly
have his money. A note was drawn
forthwith, but when the discount
clerk got through with it the farmer
received just 81 so.

DR., Emil Hirsch Gives the Self
style Very Hard Rap.

Chicago. oct. 2S.--self-styled Ameri-
can "aristocracy" received a severe rap
last night at the hands Of DR.. Emil G..
Hrsch. Dr. Hirsch preached at Israel
Temple on the relative significance Of
origins and outcomcs In society and
religion.
Wherever you have aristocracy," he
said, 1T is the beginning that is Of
moment, II you are to have a noble
family you must get back to the begin
ming, and If You have the proper num-
her OF ancestors you are noble.
These ancestors, however, should
not be looked up too carefully, or some
one who, IN common parlance, was a
cut throat and a thief may be found.
All the ancestors who came to Europe
were of that class. Probably the an
cestor who is TO be the object of a

stick, who increased his territory by
killing of his neighbors and annex

the states OF Europe grew.

social station If 1t is the beginning
that counts. where would Lincoln be?
