Cement Block Plants For Sub
~stantiaI Buildings.
On January LIST, the lumber mills
| made another advance on umber.
| The advance being from 81 to IS
| per thousand, according to grade.
| This, it is claimed, was occasioned
by the unprecedented heavy demand
for building material throughout the
| Southwest. This indicates the mate
rial prosperity of the country; and
it also indicates that there is but lit
tie likelihood of the price eve being
lower than at present, in fact, 1t will
be higher. 1t looks like the prophecy
of the chairman of the Texas Lum-
bermen's Association made last sum-
mer that inside of three years lum-
Der will be so high that only the very
rich can afford to use it for building
purposes" will prove true.-Miami
Chief.
In view Of above, which is no doubt
a fact, the News suggestion Qast
week. that a plant for the making
of cement building blocks be estab-
lished in this and other towns in the
Panhandle should be a good one, and
if those who are interested in see
ing our towns grow as they should
would investigate this matter, we
feel sure that the time will soon be
here when a man can erect a more
substantial home at a far less ex-
pense than he now can. One thing
is certain, if some other material is
not used for building purposes soon
the average man will have to resort
to the old-time dugout or adobe as
a place of abode for himself and ia
mily. 1t is not the local lumber deal
ers' fault that these high prices pre-
vail-in fact, the local dealer derives
less profit now than he did before
the advance by he wholesalers or
mill men, as he realizes that if he ad-
vances local or retail prices in cor
formity with the wholesalers, adj
vance, his customers will be dissatis-
fed, and can better afford to make
a less per cen on his investment
than he can to have adverse COM
ment on his business.-McLean News.

The Missouri Brvanites.

In Missouri thirty-eight counties have In
structed for Mr.. Bryan for President
Where is Gov. Folk? some people are ask
ing. Have his people forgotten him? Is
he no longer to figure in the account? Can
he expect support elsewhere without show
ing some at home?
This is not the time for Gov. Folk to be
active in the presidential field He is doing
well by continuing himself to the duties of
his Office; hy seeing that the laws are ex-
ecuted; by keeping tab on men anxious
for him TO fail in the governorshIp He is
wise also 10 ignore politics when he goes
away from home on invitation. He dis
cusses other subjects. Appearing In Ken
lucky recently, he spoke so earnestly for
law and order that crusade for Sunday
observance has followed, and is now in
full swing In the blue grass state
But at the same time Gov. Folk is in
politics. There should be no mistake about
that. In the reform campaigns of last year
he showed great agility in directions where
the republicans We're In trouble He ap-
peared in Philadelphia and helped to smash
the old Quay machine. He appeared in
Ohio and did battle royal against the Cox
machine, which, IL not smashed. was badly
damaged. But he did not appear in New

under fire. nor in Louisville where a cit
liens movement was trying to rescue the
town from a democratic machine The pol
itician seemed to guide the reformer pretty
faithfully through that maze The Folk
shlllaly ratified vigorously on republican
pates. but did not reach single democratic
head.
Gov. Folk could show no strength at
home or elsewhere in opposition to Mr.
Bryan. The Missouri democrats were ed
ucated by Mr.. Bland. who stood always
and only for free silver. and Mr. Bryan is
distinctly Mr. BANDS successor in leader
ship ON that question. Had Mr.. Bland in
stead OF Mr. Bryan been the nominee OF the
Chicago convention in 1896 the campaign
would not have been fought more vigorously
for the white metal than II was. Mr.. Bryan
as the candidate carried the Bland standard
from first to last. Nor has he ever laid 1t
down. He is still for the double standard
and prepared to urge It on the country at
the first good opportunity.
1t Is the old Bland following now speaking
In Missouri And In speaking for Mr. Bryan
Il feels that It is honoring the old leader
who has passed away. IL Mr.. Bryan does
not care for another race for the presidency
the Missouri democrats will look elsewhere.
II he does, nobody can take them away
from him.

Secretary. Shaw's Parable.

Secretary Shaw's little parable about the
Philippines, recited In Kentucky last night,
states the case very cleverly. We did not
bargain for kid when we went to Manila,
but found one there In dire straits and
took IL in hand. 1t would be shame there
fore either to thrust 1t out of doors unpro-
tected. or give it to some power willing to
incur the expense of rearing the chap. But
anti-imperialism is feeble Issue now.
Even Mr.. Bryan after personal inspection
of the archipelago and its present condi-
lions has nothing to add 10 suggestions he
made six years ago, and which the country
at the polls that year very emphatically re-
jected Uncle Sam will continue to harbor
the youngster, and bring him up in the way
he should go. He finds his oriental charge
novelty and trying on the patience at
times, but he has a good deal of patience.
and quite as much frmness, as the young
ster will discover.

The President and the Beef Scandals.

President Roosevelts course In the mat
ter of the meat packing scandals has been
emlnently praiseworthy. Learning of the
charge brought in the course of a work of
fiction that the methods of the packers
were inimical to the public health. he took
up the question with his characteristic
vigor He called upon certain officials to
investigate the subject thoroughly and
without fear or favor Through them he
went TO the bottom OF the case. He learned,
so the public understands, that the condi-
tions in the packing houses are revolving
TO the sense of decency and cleanliness and
healthfulness. He thereupon communicated
his knowledge of the facts to certain mem
bers OF the Senate, with the result that
bill providing for the establishment of a
rigorous meat inspection service was by
unanimous consent added to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill. then pending. So
shocking were the facts, as far as they
were disclosed. that the Senate was COM
PEELED to take this course.
The President has put the case up to
Congress in manner to prevent any fail
ure to act But the public Is entitled to the
details of the report now In his hands.
The general understanding today is that
it Is of a nature to cause tremendous up
hedNdl OF popular resentment against the
beef trust If once made public. Just why
the whole matter has not been laid before
Congress is today a mystery which the
people are unable to solve. 1t has been sug-
gested that the President fears that the
meat packing industry will be uselessly in
jured by publication. More harm will be
done to the industry by secrecy than by
publicity. But in this case the welfare of
ba 10 70 ha
public health is at stake. The people have
a right to know how far they have been
menaced in the past by the unclean
processes of the packers. and to be assured
that the government is determined to root
out these evils. .
A belief prevails throughout the country
that the inspection service during the past
few years has been as corrupt as some of
the meats that have been ground up into
sausages and other products. Fragments
of testimony that have come to the surface
indicate that the federal officers sta
toned at the packing houses have been
IN a shocking degree either negligent or
yenaL If this is true. the fact should be
made known. II 1t is untrue, the inspectors
should be cleared of the suspicion.
Confidence in the purity and wholesome
ness Of the meat products controlled by the
beef trust has been shaken already to a
degree to cause material diminution in
the sales England and France are TAX
ing steps to bar American meat importa-
tons. solely on account of the suspicion
that has been aroused against them. Other
European countries are practically certain
TO follow suit. If the truth is not laid bare
and assurances are not given at once that
the evils will be remedied the beef trust is
likely to lose its foreign market. No Won
der, indeed. that the wiser of the packers
are joining in the demand for the facts.

reform, which is TO their best interest as
well that of the public

The School Bill.

Present reports indicate an early report
tc the Senate on the bill now in commit
tee providing new scale of salaries for
the public school teachers and system
of automatic promotions. The expectation
is that the bill will be passed In season
to provide for the inclusion of the new
range of pay in the appropriation bill,
which is still before the Senate commit
tee on appropriations. This is eminently
desirable, for the salary reform, long de-
layed already should be put into effect
during the next school year
Public interest in this measure, how
ever keen on the score of the teachers
salaries, is at this stage none the less
acute on the point OF the matter of the
method of appointing the board of edu-
cation. Suddenly. without warning and
without any evidence of public demand
the House adopted an amendment to the
school salaries bill radically changing
the method of organizing the board.
Coupled with that amendment was a mat
ter affecting the race question, in such
guse as to render easy of accomplish

ried the provision through on the last
test in the full House. The proposition to
transfer the power of appointment from

and was railroaded into the bill by de-
vice which prevented straight-out test
of sentiment.
The sentiment of the community has
been already expressed on this subject
l. is virtually unanimous in favoring the
present system of appointments. There is
very general hope that the Senate com
mittee will report the bill to the Senate
with the Foster amendment eliminated,
so that the question of the teachers SAL
aries can be presented on its own merits
No reason has been demonstrated before
the committees OF the two Houses why
the District Commissioners should be re-
buked in the manner proposed by the Fos-
ter amendment Nor has any good reason

The questions raised by this bill as 1t
stands are easily to be understood. The
community without dissent demands the
adoption of a salary and promotion sys-
tenn which will give the teachers fair pay
and prospects. The community has at the
same time demanded that there be no
