Spoke Before Students Of Allen Academy
and . Large Audience at the First
Baptist Church Last Night.

Bishop Seth Ward OF Houston
addressed the student body of the
Allen Academy and large audi
ence including pupils Of other gry-
an schools and people Of the COM
munity generally at the First Bap-
fist church in this city last night
under the auspices OF the Allen
Academy Yonng Mems Christian
Association. Bishop Ward arrived
at 1893 yesterday afternoon and inn
mediately went TO the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Horace South. In the
afternoon he went driving with his
host and hostess and met a number
OF friends. He also attended the
reception Of the Home Mission
Society OF the Methodist church
and addressed the ladies, as did
also Rev. Shettles, DR.. Belts and
DR.. Powell. Bryan seems like home
TO the Bishop, who was raised in
this section OF the state. In the
course OF his address last night he
said that Bryan was the first town
OF any size he ever saw: that he
came here in an OK wagon, two
days being required for the forty
mile trip, and Bryan seemed great
er and more wonderful to him then
than did New York year later.
The lecture last night was pre-
ceded by an excellent musical pro-
gram arranged by Mrs. ]. Webb
Howell. Mesdames II. o. Boat
wright and r. S. Webb presided at
the organ and the four numbers

Farmer and Wall Street.

The farms of the United States are
worth. according to the latest official
estimate, S2S. 900. 100000. The cOmbin-
bonds and the securities of industrial
plants is only about three-fOurths as
great as that of the farms. There have
been many times in the past when the
man who raises wheat and corn. oats
and hay was badly hit. Indeed, the
blows were quite as severe as that
which has in the year 1907 fallen upon
the owners of securities.
When farm products fell to prices so
low that there was nothing but loss
for the farmer there was no especial
cry from the ''capital'' interests to help
matters. When the value of farms for
one reason or another was not equal
| 20 the mortgages put upon them there
We're likewise no wild demands for
| Legislation, that is to say. none from
the great centeTs of population.
Now that the farmers are prosper
ous as never before while the railroad
magnate and his high flyers in finance
are wOefully pinched, the boot is on
the other foot. Those whose sole vel
| fare seems to center in the stock eX
changes wonder why the rest of the
people are not walking the floor Al
nights thinking mp plans to stem finan
cial disaster.
Wall street is of all places the most
lself-sufiicient. When it is happy it for
gets that there can possibly be misery
anywhere else But when it happens
that. as now, it is extremely miserable
it is louder in its cries for help than
were the stricken western matters in
the worst years Of the grasshopper.

CullOm Apologies.

The following editorial from the
Salt Lake Tribune of March p is a
strong condemnation of Senator Cul-
Ions vote on the SmOot case. The
people of Illinois were under the i'm
preston that Senator Cullom would
vote to unseat Smoot, but some who so
believed now claim that President
Roosevelt wouldn't let him. The Salt
Lake Tribune says:
Senator Shelby NJ. CullOm of Hi
nois appears as the apologist for the
body of which he is a distinguished
member. In an article in the North
American Review under date of March
10. 1907. the Illinois senator attempts
to vindicate the action of the senate in
voting to retain Apostle Reed SmOot
as a member of that body.
The learned lawyer and statesman,
CullOm, speaks of the confusion in
which the case has been involved in
the public mind; then proceeds to fur
Their confuse it. He says: We cannot
afford to allow the evil breath of eth
Ter (po,ygamy and hierarchy to infu-
enCe the course of a single state or
the smallest part of any state in our
commonwealth And following this
declaration he attempts to justify the
presence of Reed Smoot by the assump-
ton that polygamy is obliterated, and
that the hierarchy is not dangerous
when represented by a heirarch.
IF proof were wanted of the faint
it would be amply forthcoming in the
article of Senator Cullom.
Think of this conclusion as the pro
found. deliberate judgment of Senator
CullOm, expressed in the North Ameri
can Review after the testimony which
was delivered before the senate com
mittee on privileges and elections:

Lies Thebes, deserted, silent, eloquent.
Her hundred gates are gone:
Her arches broken,
Palaces and temples tenantless;
And yet, her stately grandeur
Still lives on.
Her mighty walls bear record
OF her glorious past, chiseled
In words, rich with the story
OF ambitious life.
Her eighteen thousand streets
Deepworn by restless feet,
OF more than thirty centuries ago,
AretrOdden now and then by curious throng
Who come, demanding from her
Silent halls and mummied dead
The story of her hearts that loved.
And wisdom out OF wtthered brains
Seemed borne to me, from those
