RooseYeIt,s SURRENDER.

When President Roosevelt decided to
compromise on the railroad rate bill, it
indicated that his view of duty had
succumbed to party expediency, The
split in the Republican ranks was 50
evident that at a conference at the
an amendment upon which it was hop
ed most of the Republican Senators
would agree. This partisan policy will
propably end in the proposed rate bill
being of but small value to the people,
for the railroads will have the oppor-
tunity to hold up in the courts any
rate made by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. a.
The disgust of the Democratic Sen
ators was expressed by Senator Stone,
who declared, 1.-The railroads should be
satisfied with what they had accom-
plisbed with the President The very
proposal of that amendment was a
triumph for Senator Aldrich and his
party cOadjutors. But it affords a
sad and sOFrowful example of a presi-
Dental fiasco. However, it is only an
other instance of our mighty man of
destiny and duty backing away after
one of his spectacular grand stand
performances. We may all be sorry,
but we have no reason to be surprised :"
ROckefeIIer's Great Generosity.
John d. Rockefeller is reputed to be
worth about thousand millions of dol
lars. Mr.. Rockefeller gave one hun
dred thousand dollars for the relief Of
the San Francisco sufferers. Now, a
hundred thousand dollars is very
large sum of money, but it is only one
ten-thousandth part of a thousand mil
lion dollars-Mr. Rockefellers fortune
Rockefeller's contribution to the San
Francisco unfortunates therefore rep
resents the same amount of sympathy
that contribution of 10 cents would
represent on the part of man worth
only $1,000. Many school child
showed greater sympathy for the poor
children and the poor mothers of San
Francisco than did Mr. Rockefeller
Yet Rockefeller was lauded in large
type for his generosity and his mag
unanimous contribution to humanity.
The working man worth a thousand
dollars who gave 81 to the relief fund
was ten times as generous as Rockefel-
Ter and there was no noise made about
it, either. The generosity of million
aires and Of this Millionaire. is some
times greatly overestimated by press
and public

A Public BenefactOr.
President Roosevelt has been threat
ening for sor1e time 10 denounce the
man with the muck rake" and at last
found his opportunity at the laying Of
the cornerstone of the Office building
for the House of Representatives. The
trouble with the President, as with
other Republicans. is that ''the man
with the muck rake" has been playing
havoc with the Republican party. IL
the Republican politicians had not
created the muck heap, there would
have been no occupation for 1.-THE man
with the muck rake" neither can he
be charged with being responsible for
the mucks existence. Heretofore the
President was ardently demanding
publicity" as a cure for most of our
political ills, but the magazine writer's
gave him such dose of it that he has
cried enough already.
President Roosevelt's intense dislike
| of 'the man with the muck rake" can
hardly be wondered at, for "the man"
has uncovered so many scandals that
| the Roosevelt administration will go
down into history as the most disrep-
utable era Of Republican supremacy.
If there had been no muck the rake
would have remained idle. Was not a
rake necessary to uncover the insur-
ance grating, the postal frauds, the
land frauds, the Panama grating and
mismanagement, and would President
Roosevelt have prevented the exposure
Of these scandals because it unmasked
the corruption or connivance of some
Of the highest officials Of the Republl-

| task to WELD the rake, but the man
who does stir up the muck in an even

out fear or favor, is public benefac-
tor. The fact is the Republican poll

! power that the grafters thought that
anything they did, however vicious,
would be unobserved by the people, but

TEXAS PRIMARY LAW.

The primary election law of
Texas requires each candidate to
file an itemized account of his
election expenses. A primary
was recently held in that state and
the accounts filed by the four
candidates for the gubernatorial
nomination present some interest
irg figures. One candidate spent
SIS, 600, another SI3.8oo, another
$4,000 and a fourth 5000. The
salary of the governor of Texas
is So, 900 per year and the term is
for only two years. AS is shown
each candidate spent more than
the entire salary for the term of
two years. 1t was probably mere
ly coincidence that the candi-
date who spent the most money
secured the nomination.
Commenting upon the facts
brought out by the filing of the
expense accounts of the can
didates, Hollands Magazine for
September says:
Under present conditions it
would appear that the part of
wisdom for the man OF limited
means who hears 4 gubernatorial

creetly retire to some secluded

AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES.

One will only have to visit the
residences and boarding houses
throughout this section to see the
amount of canned vegetables and
fruits that are consumed each
year by the citizens who have no
ground or inclination to make a
garden. There is no reason why
these goods should be bought in
the East and West when it has
been so clearly demonstrated
that our lands are peculiarly
adapted to this character OF
farming.
A great number of our farmers
have been raised up with the idea
that there are no money crops
in this section except cotton; and
corn and feed stuffs are only for
home consumption. But now
that the boil weevil is here we
feel that it is a blessing in disguise
as it will force our farmers to
develop and demonstrate that
there is more money in fruits and
vegetables than in cotton and
that corn can be canned while in
the milk stage and sold with
more profit than to remain and
harden in. the field. We have
only to refer you to an article in
another column of this issue.
entitled 81. N. Whitehead" to
show what can be done by thrift,

This year has demonstrated to
the farmers in the Wheeling

money in other crops besides
cotton. We know of several
farmers who have made quite a
success IN selling their peach
crop this year. Peaches, potatoes,
corn, beans. peas, cabbage, okra,
tomatoes and. in fact, all character
of vegetables and fruits. can be
grows and canned on the farm as
successfully as they can anywhere
and there is alwa is as ready
market as there is for cotton.
No farmer should ever plant
cotton except a a surplus crop
and to rest his land.
We have been receiving letters
lately from people from the West
asking the question can.fruit and
vegetables be successfully raised
in this section, to which we
always answer. YES"

STANDARD OIL Hocus pocus.

The Standard Oil Company has
been indicted for violating the
law prohibiting rebates. but no
individual is to be punished. The
corporation may be fined a few
thousand dollars. and the price of
oil put up cent or two on the
gallon. That's all. The people
will pay the bills. If the men
guilty of the nineteen separate
offenses charged in the indictment
were prosecuted and sent to jail
as they should be, the people
would have less to pay. and less
cause to complain of favoritism in
the administration of justice. If
justice were given them, the
criminals would soon be serving
their country in striped uniforms,
and there would be no suck actual
justification of the socialistic
propaganda. What do monop-
olists care for fines when they can
recoup the money SO paid by
increasing the price of their
products? The whole proceeding
at Chicago is only a bit of
Observation-Disclosures pocus.
