1t will be interesting to many people
to know that Texas once had not only
an army but navy also and was TO all
intents and purposes nation by itself.
1t was in the days when the lone star
flag represented not Texas the state,
but Texas the independent republic.
John Pierson Titcomb, who was reputed
as the last surviving officer of the Texas
navy, has just died in his Goth year at
Denver. He was of good New England
stock, and was born in Salem, N. H., in
1917, the son of Pierson Titcomb, who
had graduated from West Point in 1899,
and who afterward served term in the
Massachusetts legislature as repre-
sentative from Lowell. John Pierson
Titcomb went to Texas in 1887 and be-
came an employee in the treasury de-
partment of the republic. In 1888 he
was appointed midshipman in the
Texas navy, and served for two years
on warship, rising to the rank of pay
master.

Agriculture is now profession and
is gaining recognition as such. The
landowner is the true aristocrat; and
the intelligent farmer and breeder, such
as we have in this locality, is the high
est type of the landowner. Given a
fertile soil, like that of this section, a
salubrious climate like ours, progress
sive farm population like that of this
part of the country and general dis
seminatlon of knowledge of farm meth
DDS, and prosperity can hardly fail to
result. For this purpose there is moth
ing better than higher grade farm
journal like the Iowa Homestead, pub
lished at Des Moines, Iowa, which has
attained circulation of $4,000 among
the best farmers of the corn belt. The
Homestead is the oldest and best of the
farm papers, being fifty years old. 1t
is edited by farmers who reside on and
operate their own farms, and numbers
among it's contributors practically every
expert in agriculture and live stock in
the west. The REPORTER takes pleasure
in extending the Homestead's circula-
tion. If you want al good farm paper,
come to this Office, and we will order
the Homestead for you at a very moder-
ate cost to you. tt

ROOSEVELT WANTS 1T.
Congressman Rdiney, of Illinois. De-
clares President is Seeking
Reelection.

President Roosevelt plans to be a
candidate for a third term, declar-
ed Congressman Rainey of Illinois at
the Fourth of July celebration of the
Tammany Society in New York. Mr..
Rainey said the presidents Endorsement
of the ''favorite sons" were like so many
nails in their collins, and continues:
"Washington was too big too accept a
third term, Jefferson was too big to ac-
cept third term, but the present oc-
cupant of the White House isn't big
enough to refuse it. With the danger
of third term staring us in the face, we
are beginning to look around for man
who stands upon this declaration of
independence, and out west we offer
you such a man. There is not money
enough up in all the vaults of the trusts
to defeat William Jennings Bryan next
year, should he be the candidate Of the
liberal party.
"Our platform is simple enough, for
it is based upon his declaration and
means "thou shalt not steal" The plat
form furnishes no bulwark for robber
tariff. AS long as this great party ex-
lists in this great country, it never can
be defeated. Its candidates may, but
when the time comes, if it does come, or
it becomes conservative party, then
the government that rests upon the con-
sent of the governed will have faded
from this EARTH
Mr.. Rainey credited President Roose-
welt with the design of destroying state
lines and state rights.
''The policy of the executive" said
Mr.. Rainey, "now seems to be to put
the power we thought belonged to the
states in the hands of congress and then
get congress to surrender to the ex-
ecutive.
Mr.. Rainey declared that it was evil
dent Mr.. Roosevelt intended to be one
of the candidates for president next
year, and said his Endorsements of
"favorite sons were like so many nails
in the coffins.
William Jennings Bryan was unable
to attend, and sent message from
Lincoln, in which he said:
II trust your celebration will increase
the enthusiasm of the New York de-
mocracy and direct attention to the fact
that the economic questions now before
the country-the trust questions, the
tariff question and the railroad question
all involve the same issue, viz:
Whether the government shall be adj
ministered in the interest of few fav-
orites or in behalf of the whole people
"Other questions will enter into the
campaign, but these questions empha-
size the Importance of applying to the
government the Jeffersonian doctrine OF
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none."
Speeches were also made by Con-
gressmen Bourke Cochran of New York
and James M. Crimson of Colorado.

RECEIvERsHIps FOR THE
TRUSTS.

The proposal advanced by Attorney
General Bonaparte to appoint receivers
for the trusts, and to dissolve them I'M
der direction of the courts, points the
long way round to an end that can be
reached much more simply and much
more readily.
A receivership is not good for any
business that is not bankrupt or badly
mismanaged by those to whom it has
been intrusted. However just the
courts, their appointees cannot be ex-
pected to know as much about any bust
ness or industry as the men whom the
stockholders appoint to conduct it,
Receiverships are costly and the
stockholders of any concern that goes
into the hands of a receiver suffer not
only by the cost but often by the dis
organization of business which follows.
1t may be said that a concern which
violates the law by going into a COM
bination in restraint of trade deserves
) to suffer in it's business to any extent
necessary to break up the combination.
But many concerns have been forced
into these combinations. In many
other cases a strong minority of the
stockholders have opposed going into
the combination and have been over
ruled.
In justice to unoffending stockhold-
ers, the Government in enforcing the
antitrust laws should scrupulously
avoid decentralization of business, or the
gripping of the companies by heavy
fines. Even if Attorney General Bona
parties plan of receiverships were the
only way of dealing with the trust evil,
it would be an endless task to keep the
companies composing trust from re-
uniting after the receiver had wound
up their affairs with the trust and
started them off again as separate con-
Germs.
Most of the industrial concerns of
the country have since the enactment
of the Dingley tariff gone voluntarily or
by coercion into one trust or another.
We should have pretty mess of in
dustrial confusion and incompetent
management if all the industry of the
country, in all its details, should be
conducted by court officers acting by
direction of the courts.
The direct and simple way is the only
one that can succeed in regulating big
interstate corporations. 1t has been
repeatedly pointed out to the President
and to his Attorney General. 1t is the
punishment OF the men who commit the
sins of the offending corporation, and
not the corporation, in the punishment
of which the innocent suffer with the
guilty.
There is a law-breaking man behind
every violation of the antitrust law.
4 Mr.. Bonaparte knows how to reach him.
And as Woodroe Wilson said at Nor
folk the other day, one prominent
offender of this sort behind prison bars
would go further in checking violations
of the law than thousand fines
mulcted on the companies.-St. Louis
Republic

lens in census taking. The inhabitants,
having no experience with census tax
ing, imagined that some scheme for
Increasing taxation was involved, and
were inclined to be cautious lest they
should reveal too much of their affairs.
There was also opposition to enumera-
ton on religious grounds, a count of in
habitants being regarded by many as
cause for divine dlspleasure. The
boundaries of towns and other minor
divisions and even these of counties,
were in many cases unknown or not
defined at all. The hitherto semi
independent states had been under the
control of the Federal government for
so short time that the different sections
had not yet been welded into an har-
monious nationality in which the FEEDER
al authority should be unquestioned
and instructions promptly and fully
obeyed.
When the first census records are
published in book form, they will be
worthy of being placed in public librar-
les.

"Before beating the brush for har-
mony candidate for governor" the Gid
den Graphic thinks. "It might not be a
bad idea to first understand what sort
of harmony is intended. For instance
there was the harmony of 1901 when
the Cummins fellows, in the interest
of harmony, kindly allowed themselves
to be used as door mat. And then
there was the harmony of 1906 when
the two factions harmonized with a
club. If choice between the two
breeds is inevitable we prefer the ad.
vantage of vigorous action and that is
preferable to cowardly surrender by
either side"
