That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is ~abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of he white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment OF most
valuable American medicinal roots.

operation the public will not get the
benefit in lower rates, except as 1t
may be forced from the railways
through fear of extreme measures.
Determinations in favor Of large
shippers has been the principal means
of building up most of Our big trusts
Lower rates have enabled them to
crush out their smaller competitors
until they have built up such huge
business that they can dictate terms
even to the railroads. / have no
doubt such discrimination will con-
tinue to be practiced in spite OF the
new rate law In England where a
law against rebates has been in force
for many years, and where the laws
governing railroads are more strictly
enforced discrimination is still prac-
ticed. 1t is chiefly through the con-
venient loophole of undertaking"
That is, shipping goods under one
classification when they belong under
another. Until recently, and perhaps
even now, the Beef Trust underbllled
about one-third Of the freight it ship
ped. For instance, dressed beef has
a higher freight than lard and other
things called packing house pro-
ducts" so according to the report
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, whenever it can it ships its
dressed beef as packing house pro-
ducts" Some way will be found OF
cvading any law when the railroad
and the shipper find it profitable to
do so. For one thing the railroads
always have the smartest lawyers.
This multiplicity of laws, regula-
tempt to control the railroads simp-
ly result in keeping them in politics
to control the law making power and
they come pretty near doing it. One
can't blame them from a business
standpoint. All these things inter-
fere with their profits, and that's
what the IdllI OduS dl { HSlS lOi'
The only way to reduce the death
roll of the railroads, and give all ship
pers and localities fair and equitable
rates, is for the government to own
the railroads; TO have them run for
the benefit of the people instead of
the profit of few individuals. But
they should be operated only under
such civil service regulations as will
guarantee the employees the same per-
manency of employment and chance
for promotion as is given the postal
clerks and the thousands of other
government employees now under
civil service regulations. Govern
ment ownership has proven success
full wherever tried. A brief examination
of some of these government owned
roads will be giver in future article,

PECANs.

While the pecan will grow in
almost any soil it must be plant
ed in rich soil to succeed well
and bottom lands are far better
than uplands. Nature only
grew it on the alluvial bottoms,
except in a very limited way on
some of the richest black lands
of Texas. The alluvial bottoms
of the lower Mississippi and its
southern tributaries is where
pecans are grown with the best
success and the least expense.
The proper distance apart to
plant the trees may vary some
what in accordance with the
land they are to grow on and
the plan that is to be followed
in regard to their treatment. On
bottom lands and when %
years old, or over, they should
be 100 feet apart, but if they
are to be thinned with the ak
and grubbing-hoe they may be
planted so feet apart. By no
means plant them permanently
on any land nearer than 8 feet
Always plant grated or bud4
ded pecan trees. Seedlinges are
very unsatisfactory, no matter
how good nuts are planted.
Crops of cotton, corn or al
frequent and clean cultivation
may be and should be grown
among the trees for many
years.

Many remedies along the
lines of poisons have been tried
in orchards against the pest,
but they all proved to be ipef-
fectual after a given period,
with the exception of placing
grain poisoned with strych-
nine at the base of several
trees, and it was found in this
case that the ground around the
tree was literally covered with
the dead rodents on the morn
ing after each trial.

AN ENGLISH REPRESEN-
TATIVE.

The latest feat to be pulled
off by the Texas Five Million
Club is the securing of the emf
nent English lecturer, Mr..
Frederick Opp, who has al
ready commenced a systematic
tour of the British Isles, where
he is descanting on the glories
of Texas, and telling the people
across the sea of the valuable
opportunities awaiting those
who are early in the field in
Texas.
Few people on the British
Isles are acquainted with Texas
and her resources. Those who
nave heard of her look upon her
simply as one of the many
states in the American Union,
and the fact that she is to be
extolled from the lecture plat
form will no doubt be the
means of attracting a very de-
sirable population to the state.
The English people are well
known for their thrift, and
any community in the state
would be benefited by their
presenceS.
This, with the active cam
paign being waged in America,
will possibly be the means of
achieving even greater results
than the securing of five million
people in 1910.
Field representatives are
securing the state for subscrip-
lions with which to continue
the good work, and it is hoped
to have everything running
smoothly by early summer.

A special from Washington to the
ST. Paul Dispatch says:
That Governor Johnson will be
taken. up by very influential ele-
ment of the Democratic party for
president is now generally conceded
In Washington, even by the personal
friends of Bryan. If overtures and
efforts which will soon be under way
to make Governor Johnson the nom-
inee meet with success formidable
and forcible Johnson organization will
be seen by March l. His visit to
Washington and his all around pop
ular qualities made the Minnesota
governor Sthe talk of the hour. Col
umns have been written about him in
Eastern papers and some of the writer's
have perhaps overdone the printing Of
praise forthe governor.
He is compared to Abraham Lin
coin and is looked upon as the saviour
of the Democratic party. When, he
left for home there were kilograms
for him to visit New York and meet
with prominent party men.
The prediction is made here that
John A. Johnson will at the proper
time declare himself candidate
against Bryan. It is based on conclu
sions made, not only upon observa
lions here, but upon a close study OF
the situation in Minnesota and the
Northwest generally.

Investigation Of the trouble between.
the miners and mine operators at that
place. Immediately preceding their
departure the members of the party
had conference with the president.
President Roosevelt is anxious to
ascertain the exact conditions exist
ing at Goldfield. He has given to
the commission letter of instruc-
tons which is very broad in it's char
acter and will enable the commission
to make any such investigation into
affairs at Goldfeld as it may deter
mine upon The letter is very brief,
simply directing the members of the
commission to proceed Immediately to
Goldfield and to make an inquiry into
affairs as they exist there and report
to him personally The letter also
directs all civil and military authori-
ties to furnish the commission with
any information bearing upon the sit
uation that they may possess.
The members of the commission
have no idea at present how long
they may he engaged in the making
of the inquiry, but regard it as i'm
probable that they will return to
wy
While the president discussed the
matter informally with the members
Of the commission he gave them no
concrete instructions beyond those
contained in his letter.
