a sham Meveme.nt.
New Orleans States.

New Orleans States.
All the show and humbug that were
behind the movement inspired by New
York interests to nominate a South.
ern man for President on the Demo-
cratic ticket went into the air higher
than Gtlderoy's Kite the moment the
clash occurred between the Federal
and State courts in North Carolina.
Carmack, Culberson, Daniel, Bacon,
Folk and all the other statesmen in
the South measuring up to the presl-
iential size are sincere advocates and
defenders of the rights Of the. States,
and the idea that the corporate inter-
ests and newspapers Of the North de.
sire the election to the presidency ft
any one of these men is preposterous,
and has been shown to be utterly alb.
surd by these interests and newspa-
pers rallying in defense Of Judge
Pritchard who sought to nullify a
State law Of North Carolina with a
sweeping Injunction prohibiting its
further enforcement without the ques-
ton of its constitutionalty having
been tested in the usual and regular
way.
It is rational to assume that the
support and applause which has been
given the most hfgh:handed attempt
that has yet been made by a federal
Judge TO override the rights OF a SOW.
ereign State, and given 50 generous
ly by the very interests that were pro.
noting the Southern man movement,
indicates quite clearly that a cham
pion Of State rights is not wanted in
the White House and that the pur-
pose of the movement was to split up
the Southern Democracy In the next
national convention by means Of "fa.
yorite son" booms, kill OF Bryan, and
bring about the nomination Of a can
iicate the Republicans could defeat
without expanding much money or
effort.

The government of New Zealand Is
socislistic, and the State owns and
operates all public utilities. The rail,
roads we're built by the State and are
operated. by the State. They cost
some $4,000 mile, which is not ex-
travasant, and the gross mileage Is
$500. SO far from earning a profit
on 4he peoEle's investment, the opera
don shows a deficit of s15OO,OOO annu'
ally that the taxpayers have to meet
Ask the first American Populist or
Socialist you see, and he will asseN

government Of New Zealand Is ideal,

and the less he knows about it the
more dogmatic will his Language be-
Very well. Here is a perfectly hon
est LAYOUT that fetches its people IN
debt s1,5OOo0O a year operating rail-
roads $500 miles in extent. Honesty
in this country is not SO well estab-
lished: but it is proposed to saddle
on our people an additional indebted
ness of STA OO,OOO,OOO in order to ac'
ou;re some 100000 miles Of American
railroads to be operated by a govern"
ment no honester than the law al
lows and certainly not as honest as
the government Of New Zealand is re-
ported to be. Suppose these 100000
miles are operated with the same sa'
pacity and the same integrity that are
brought 10 bear in New Zealand? The
result would be an annual deficit OF
$3.50. 100000. which. added to the in.
terest of s1loOO,OOO,OoO, would in
crease the burden of the people by
at least s5Oo,OOO,oOo annually.
But it is proposed to take the rail-
roads over at a cost of only $6,OOo-
100000. When practiced by go''
eminent theft tries to be respectable,

While the country is accustomed
10 frequent changes in the personnel
and in the political complexion Of the
lower house Of Congress, changes in
the senate are usually the work Of
years. The passing of Senators Pet
tus and Morgan, of Alabama, serves,
however. to call attention to the fact
that an unusually large number Ct
changes will have taken place in the
senate when Congress meets in De-
cember. Rarely, except in times Of
great political unheaval, has the mem,

Father and Son Formerly Connected With Waters Pierce Oil Co. Will Ap- pear Against Bailey.
ARE STAR WITNESSES
Will Also Appear as State Witnesses in Antitrust Suits Against the Waters.Pierce Company-Pierce May Not Appear.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 2S.-The legis- lative investigation of Senator Bailey promises to open for it's sec- ond week today with considerable nfre attention to it than in the past. This will be due to the fact that H. Gruet and his son of St. Louis, formerly connected with the Waters Pierce Oil company, will in all like lihood be the star witness before the committee tomorrow The Gruets arrived here tonight and were closeted at once with the attorney general.
 The attorney general has nothing to do with the present legislative in- vestigatiOn, but the Gruets will be the star witnesses when the anti trust suits come up against the Waters-Pierce Oil company in March and his conference is in all likeli- hood along those lines. The Gruets are witnesses before the legislative investigation also, and it is an nounced tonight that they may ap- pear tomorrow.
 Up to the present time Judge Johnson, the Standard Oil company's general attorney, and Judge George
 Clark, local state attorney for [Tshe Waters-Pierce Oil company, are the only two important witnesses examined, and their testimony devel- oped nothing at all to Senator balley's discredit. It is expected that the opposition will be able to get something on their side out of the Gruets, or at least that is what they announce they anticipate doing.
 To Secure Pierce's Testimony.
 Tonight Chairman O'Neill au- thorlzed the statement that unless II. Clay Pierce of the Waters-Pierce oll company would come to Texas > voluntarily to appear before the com mittee and avail himself of legisla- i've dispensation from arrest for any reported pending indictments aaginst MT. Pierce in Travis coun- ", which has been promised by the committee, that the committee would send two of it's members, one Bailey and one anti-Bai1ey committeeman accompanied by a lawyer from both Sides and Senator Bailey himself to any point in the United States ato see MT Pierce and get his testi. in the case. In the event any questions were askei and not an ess: d a' that liin" the repor' should s,' this an ths committed

 ON AIMS BILL
Delay Would Enable Hot Springs Race Meeting to Go Through This
 Season.

 Friends of the Amis >anti-pool selling bill claim that sentiment in favor of the passage of the bill, which will be taken up in commit tee tonight, is so nearly unanimous that the racing interests of Hot Springs admit defeat and now seek by filibustering tactics to delay final action until a part of the race meet ing which begins next Monday can have been carried out, says the Lit tie Rock Gazette.
 The racing in that city is sched- uled for sixty-seven days. It will probably be 30 days before the Amis' bill can be enacted into law, under which condition the race meeting would be half over before the re- formers could close down on the op- 
 When the committee on agricul- ture takes up this bill tonight in the senate chamber there will be many speakers from Hot Springs to present views pro and con on the subject. The advocates of liberal government in that city will be led by Col. E. w. Rector, who was formerly member of the legisla- ture, and is we'll known in state politics. The Citizens Improvement Union, which represents the reform movement, will have a corps of speakers led by Judge J. B. Wood, who is attorney for the organiza- tion and one of it's active mem bers.
 The committee on agriculture, to which this bill has been referred, is composed of E. R. Arnold, chairman; w. F. Mcknight, J. E. Mccall, N. | Carlock and A. F.
