LATE AUTUMN.

love these last untroubled autumn DAYS.
Where fair on sheltered gardens sunlight stay
Mellow and leisured, placid undisturbed;
Only the low songs of the robins heard,
And drowsy insects droning in the sun,
Rocking not summers over now, and done!
Sweeter than rose of juneau sweeter yet
This dim green spray of mignonette
And blue as summer sea and summer skies
The tangled cornfower lies;
Lemon, vermillion, damask and wine red
Hang vivid dahlias heavy overhead.
| love these last untroubled autumn days,
Whittier returned summer briefly strays,
Sunny, enchanted instants, when we deem
Winter afar like some fantastic dream:
And following in the vagrant summers train
We, too, forget, treading her paths again.
Thinking not sadly-feeting is this grace
But-good, it's ours-for just little space

WINNfIEID'S PROMISE.

Winfield is surrounded with
possibilities. that once developed,
will make this Capital of Winn. a
driving. thriving. bastling city.
Its energetic and progressive citi-
Gems are earnestly working along
lines that promise an early con-
summation of their laudable
plans and purposes.
A civic pride that delights in
helping to expand, that is ever
ready to take hold and do some
thing can never fail to reach the
consummation desired. Where all
work to a common end, the result
is inevitable.
No town springs up. like a
mushroom. in single night. nor
is there any modern Aladdin's
lamp to open the secret entrance
to untold wealth. But enterprise
and grit, wisely applied and utiliz-
ed, will unbar the gates that open
to solid and substantial results and
rewards.
With electric lights and an ice
plant and other industries already
established. ia time natural gas
will be added and also water
works. Then Winfield will be-
come the magic city browning the
hills. Then it will expand. and
grow.
Her citizens are ambitious, So
cable and hospitable. They al
ways have a warm welcome for
strangers who come within their
gates. With these inherent and
solid traits to build upon. this city
must soon become an important
and busting business center.

Ant AND BOIL wtEvlI.

1t is noted in a recent article
published in the Shreveport Times
that the prediction is made that
the ravages of the boil weevil are
passing Prof. o. L. Howard OF
the Department of Agriculture,
says. in Texas the native ants are
destroying TO certain extent, the
cotton pests. A we'll known
planter of Caddo parish says of
Prof. Towards Investigations and
reports on this subject:
ut takes several years for the
ant to learn of the home of the
boil weevil. 1t might be presumed
in view of circumstances that the
third year being the time of the
greatest havoc-working of the boil
weevil that by. that time the native
ant has learned of new feeding
ground and is beginning to stay
the ravages of the destructive in
sect.
There never was a time in the
history of agriculture but that ma
ture found some means in which
to rid herself of harmful condi.
tons.
The report Of Professor How
ard throws light on the boil vice.
vii problem that is far clearer than
any yet given the cotton producer.
In view of this, it is my opinion
that the passing of the boil weeviI
will be brought about by the ma
tive shis of the Pelican state des-

ton started as a result ola speech
made by DIR. Osler, of Johns Hop
kins University. something Syer a
year ago. which was distorted into
meaning that man does his goad
work before he is forty.
AS matter Of fact. if man has
no brains until he is forty he is
not apt to develop high abilities
in great quantity after that time.
But neither Pettus nor Morgan
had done at forty the work upon
which their claims to fame or to
the gratitude of the present gen.
Grafton will rest.
The man who keeps his head
clear. his body sound, who avoids
dissipation, has good conscience
and a good digestion. can do a
good days work in almost any
line until he is well along in the
eighties.
Just as there is disposition in
some quarters not to give young
men chance, there is "a disposi-
ton in other directions to attempt
to crowd old men out of the way
before their time. In both direc-
tons serious mistakes are made.
Certainly no one acquainted with
affairs at Washington could argue
that either Senator Morgan or
Pettus was too old for the position
he held.

7. Clark, at Irma. He is an ex-

myriads of boil weevils have in
tested the cotton fields in that
locality. The boil weevil problem

the closest scrutiny as to its propa-

methods. In the course of these

that SPECIES of native red ants

squares on the stalk, as well as on
the ground. A box of squares

across The gallery from their re-
sorts. to the box. They were at

and would eagerly assail them

These are incontrovertible facts
and give force to the statement
that these native enemies to the
boil weevils will become SO active
in their assaults upon the cotton

them. Thus does Nature provide

THE MISSISSIPPI WAY.

The campaign recently closed
in Mississippi between Gov. Var.
daman and Congressman Williams
for the Senatorship, teaches some
very important and suggestive
lessons.
1t was a red-hot campaign from
start to finish.
1t was waged on distinct and
powerful issues.
But personalisIns were elimin-
ated from the contest.
Neither aspirant would tolerate
SANDER or abuse, of his opponent.
Herein they rose to the,plane
of true craftsmanship.
However radical may have been
their views on paramount issues,
they never descended to billings
gate.
Personalities formed no portion
in their appeals for public favor
and they distinctly repudiated
such methods.
1t was a c1ean-cut, open, fair
argument in support of govern
ment theories and the methods of
adjusting vital public questions.
Vardaman is a man of the peo-
pie for the people, despite the
charge of demagogism.
Williams is u brilliant states
man. a great leader antia versatile
foe in retort, sarcasm or wit.
The lesson these Mississippi
giants taught is worthy of imita-
ton as an example of clean meth
DDS and clean politics.
It's a mistake to presume that
the masses love abuse, PERSONAL
ties and insinuatlon.
I They want reason, argument,
principles, and policies.
They demand live and vital is
sues that concern the public well
fare and the best Interests of the
State.
They love fair play and will IN
evitably champion the cause of
the man who is needlessly and
assaulted.
Louisiana can well profit by
the Mississippi campaign.
The seekers for public favor
AID public confidence and public
endorsement will be wise to heed
the Mississippi lesson.

be obtained? Not by following
the outcry of blatant demagogues
nor professional politicians. The
hrst great requisite is plain. SIM
pie laws enacted for the protection
OF the individual and his rights,
and to preserve healthy growth
and progress of communities and
the State. There are too many
laws and the people are governed
too much.
An essential factor in clean
government is the selection of
clean men. for Office. those who
will fearlessly uphold and execute
the laws. men with characters
above reproach. fearless in the dis
charge of every duty. men who
dare do right, who are conscien-
tous and brave in meeting private
and public obligations.
The people are the source of all
power in this free land. They
alone are responsible for the
standing and characters of their
rulers. The men in positions of
honor and trust are the opponents
of public sentiment. If they are
bad. corrupt and dishonest it
shows perverted public senti-
ment and debased and vitiated
public morals.
The waters of the gushing and
limpid spring are pure and spark
ling as their source is uncontami-
mated. A clean government is the
reflection from whence it eman-
ates-the people.
There is too much laxity, too
many subterfuges and bubbles in
the administration of justice.
There is too much doubt and sus-
picion of the probity and honesty
of the individual. There is too
much Difference paid to accumu-
ated wealth, and too much worship
It the guided shrine OF Mammon.
Justice holds an unevenly bal
lnced scale and leans too much to
he weight which gold places in
IS balances.
The people recognize this evil,
hey see it but lack that high
moral courage that should come
D the front and throttle the octo-
'us that is gnawing at the very
'itals of the government.

Willing To Work On Credit.

While a number of the canal en-
terprises in this section have been
obliged to lay off most of their
hands and temporarily suspend
building operations to a greater or
less extent, Manager ]. w. Holt
of the La Lomita project in Hi
dalgo county is congratulating
himself on the fact that he still has
the same number of hands at work
as formerly. Mr.. Holt, who was
here Saturday, says that his
partner, Mr.. Conway, now in
Minneapolis, wrote him last week
that, owing to the money strin-
gency, even the grain men, who
always receive the preference IN
Minneapolis banks, have been I'M
able to obtain money, and so he
would be unable to make his usual
remittance to continue operations
on the canal for short time, and
! he supposed they would have to
lay off the hands temporarily. Mr..
Holt thereupon called in all hands,
| of whom he has about a hundred
employed, and laid the case before
them. He hated to step week, as
it will only require about a mouth
longer to complete the canal and
so, when he had informed his men
how the case stood in the money
market, he added that he had just
about money enough on hand &c
pay them all off that night, but
that if any of them wished to con
tinue working and take time
cheeks for their pay, until the
money should arrive, meantime
getting credit at the company:
supply house for any grocerie:
they might need. they might DE-
so. To his qualification, the mex
day, with the exception of abou
a dozen, the entire force went tt
work as usual, and the following
day every oae of those who hat
laid off also returned, so that tn
stringency in the money marke
is not having any adverse efec
whatever upon the La Lomita en-
terprise.

Talk With Mr.. Stenser.

A HERALD reporter today saw
W. H. Stenger, vice president and
general manager of the San Benito
Land and Water Company, who
has just returned from visit to
Chicago, where he attended a meet
ing of the directors of gold mine
In California in which he is extern
sively interested, and had a little
chat with him.
Mr.. Stenger reports things NOV
ing along about as usual at San
Benito, aad says that the prevail
vailing stringency has had very
little effect upon the work there,
beyond causing the laying off of
the hands engaged in clearing,
chiefly on private contracts. The
canal construction is progressing
as before, and the company had
no difficulty in obtaining from the
bank in Brownsville all the money
required for Saturdays pay roll,
amounting to about 81 900.
Mr. Stenger says that the mon
ey situation does not appear to be
easing up any throughout the
North, as many depositors seem 10
have become nervous and continue
to draw their money out of the
banks and hide it in old stockings
or other secret places. He thinks,
however, that the development of
the Brownsville country will prob
ably be affected favorably by the

drawing their money from the
banks are likely to think it wise to
invest it in land, which no money
panic can cause to disappear or be
otherwise lost. He looks for a
