ERA MAKING IN TEXAS.

Texas Is making a clean sweep
Having driven Standard Oil from the
state, Il Is after the Western Union
and the Pullman Car company. It Is
suing the railroads in lunches of
ten Pretty soon, with transporta-
don, communication and commerce
crippled, Texas will start on new
era And II will not be one OF prog
ress, either. Brooalya Eagle.
Texas Is not making a clean sweep
In the sense that the esteemed Eagle
would make the public believe. Up
on the statute books of the state are
certain laws OF which the corpora
lions affected by them have full
knowledge, and the state means that
they shall be obeyed, That Is all
there Is to II.
Texas requires Of her citizens that
they obey the laws, and she fails to
see wherein corporation is entitled
TO greater warrant in refusal to obey
the laws than the individual. She
has resolved that the hands Of the
corporations shall not be fastened at
her throat, and she Is commencing
in time to make It plain that Ills
shall not be the case. Her action
Just at present may appear to be a
little drastic to those who have been
accustomed 20 do the bidding OF the
corporations, but It looks to the
speediest permanent solution OF the
problems that are veXing the older
and more indulgent commonwealth.
Texas has always been liberal in her
treatment OF industries that do not
seek to apply their monopolstic
methods In drawing tribute from the
residents OF the state, but she has
undertaken TO prevent the state from
falling into the hands Of this class
OF corporations When she finds
tendencies running in this direction
she applies tao remedy and Is thus
saved the Ills OF greater moment
which in time might dev elop,
II Is not strange that her courac
should attract tho attention Of the
other states They have feared or
neglected to DC as positive as Texas

Methodist ministers as a rule are
men Of standing, Of education and
influence They are here 10 DELHI
eTato upon the work OF their church,
10 confer with one another how best
10 further the Interests Of religion
In general and Of their creed in par
ticular. Upon these points the Daily
Panhandle has no suggestions TO
offer. Scctarianism Is field in
which a newspaper has no place,
But while this goodly number Of
churchmcn Is dwelling in our bcaut-
rul city and breathing tho puro and
heath-giving air Of the plains, We
want them to lay aside thei rroig-
ous abors long enough TO make a
material retrogpoction RETROSPECT
lion not in literal sense, but in
the sense that from the religious to
the material is a backward step,
We want the ministers to see our
thriving, hustling, progressive city,
We want them to take a look at our
many beautiful homes and to visit
with the contented people who live
in them, We want them to study
us and our country, We want them
to learn of the wonderful resources
and possibilities OF tho Panhandle
country, of our great variety of pro-
duction, agriculturally, mechanically
and industrially.
When these gentlemen return to
their respective homes week hence
We want to see them filled with
Panhandle enthusiasm, We want
them to go back to their flocks
stronger spiritually and ready to
take up their mission OF saving men
with greater feryor and determina-
ton. But we also want them to
preach little of the gospel OF the
Panhandle, There is room upon
these vast plains for millions of hap
by people, The soil awaits but the
hand to strike the iron into its heart
and the fountain will gush forth.
Any man, or body Of men, be he
or they preacher or laymap, who will
be the means TO improve mcn's con-
dltions, will do a noble work, There
is an opportunity offered here for
work which no man need be
ashamed to be engaged ina work
to benefit mankind, to tighten the
burden of those overlanden.
We have issued thousands Of cop
les OF the Daily Panhandle in which
the truth is told Of the Panhandle
country. We will gladly give a copy
or two to every minister or visitor
of the conference They are yours
for the asking.

AMARILLO FINANCIALLY SAFE.

No more appropriate nor timely
visit OF bank examiner was ever
made than that OF Mr.. Joseph w.
Norvell in Amarillo today
Mr.. Norvell Is the national bank
examiner for New Mexico, Arizona,
Colorado and the Panhandle OF Tex
as. The writer mace 1t his especial
business to interview the gentleman
who Is here today to examine into
the. condition Of our national banks.
The Daily Panhandle Is the advocate
Of the people. It's sole mission Is to
Inform the public on current events
and TO tell the truth upon any and
all subjects as they may arise from
dsy to day.
The question uppermost IN tn
minds Of on people today is, what is
oar financial condition? What Is the
ststus Of our banking institutions and
can we safely pass ihroura the pres
eDt monetary stringenry?
MI Noryell answers these aues-
tons By the open and public state
ment that the national banks OF
Amarillo arc in better condition, OF
at least in as good a condition as tho

states that every national bank In
Amarillo has behind It the security
Of dollars for every dollar on de-
post; that there Is sufficient cash on
hand to meet every reasonable de-
mand and that there IS not the slight
est cause for uneadnoss on the part
Of any one, whatever may be his In
terost In reference 10 the banks Of
Amarillo,
Mr.. Noryell further states that he
advises tho banks Of the city to cs-
tabllsh clearing house. to Issue
clearance certificates backed by the
entire credit and resources OF the
cIty's banks instead Of giving out the
currency on hand, whlih should be
held 10 meet present wants and ur-
gent need "Therc Is no bank OF any
kind In The country" continued Mr..
Noryoll, (which Is able to pay In full

ors who may demand such payment
II there was such bank II would
soon have TO go ont Of business"
According to this gentleman who
Is entitled TO speak on the subject
with authority, n will bc but short
time until the financial cloud Will
pass over, Many millions, he says,
are being paid to MS by England and
other foreign countries, money owed
for cotton, wheat oats and other pro-
duets, and rs soon as New York Is

will once more be on easy street,

In the face OF such reliable infor-

THEY APPRECIATE OUR WORK

The extracts reproduced below
taken from letters recently received
from gentlemen in different sections
il additional tangible evidence that
our work in behalf OF the Panhan-
die section OF Texas and Amarillo, is
appreciated and having a beneficial
effect:
A. f. league, of indianapolis, Ind,
has the following complimentary ref
erence to the Daily Panhandle;
"If all interested parties were as
enthusiastic and untiring in their
work for the development Of the
Panhandle, as Is the Panhandle, the
country would soon be settled by
prosperous farmers"
Joe B. Jouett, of Shreveport La"
writes as follows:
81 want to come out there to West
Texas and had not fully made up my
mind which place to go to until | had
gotten papers from several places
out there. have read papers form
Brentwood, Abilene, San Angelo and
Amarillo, and have decided that
Amarillo Is far ahead of the other
cities, and am more than anxious to
make my home in Amarillo.
81 think Texas is the grandest
country on earth and want to get
back into 1t so that | can help boost
it. After once living in Texas can't
be satisfied away from IT.. Excuse
such a long letter, but every time

Dispatches from all over the coun-
try announce the return of striking
telegraphers to their old jobs, where
they cal get them, 50 it may be safe
ly and fairly said that the end of the
strike is in sight, Even the sus-
pension of President Small of the
National photographers Union because
of his proposal to vote on calling the
strike off is not an indication that
tho union leaders really believe they
still have chance to win, 1t has
been we'll said of this action OF the

more for their valor than for their
discretion IL Is magnificent bat not

which causes uneasincss in the minds
OF bankers with perfectly solvent in
situations behind them is the eXcit-

on to keep their heads and apply rea-

are moro prone to become panD
stricken aud do things which may re-
suit in wreck and ruin,
rho people of this city are to be
congratulated on their good sense,
which has prevented false alarms.
This argues that the people of Anna
rillo knew the real situation and re-
allied that II things were allowed to
go along as usual there would be no
further trouble and that not only the
banks but the thousands of deposit
tors themselves would suffer no ma
tarial losses, The result has vindi-
Gated their judgment The rule OF
restriction under which depositors
are paid a limited percentage of their
deposits was wise and will be amply
justified when the fast receding
clouds disappear and the financial
skies are clear again,
There Is not and has not been the
least ground for questioning the
couptry's strong financial resources.
The test has shown this. Hereto
fore in the so-called "panics," which
the present condition only family
suggests, there we're substantial
weaknesses In the financial fabric.
Had there been some great natural
disaster In the West, or had there
been succession of crop failures,
or had there been a period OF hard
times" WHICH generally end in fl
nancial cataclysms, there would have
been good reason to fear
The prosperity of the country and
especially of the West Is not ficti-
tious, It Is solid and wealth has
been accommodating in the peoples
hands for a number of years, The
farmers have had good crops which
have yielded them a handsome sur
plus. There arc few mortgages, few
notes and no privation. The farm
ers have the money and the crops.
They have restocked their farms,
painted their houses and barns,
bought new machinery and added to
their home comforts, After all this
expenditure tsey have had enough to
hold big balances in their banks
Among such men there Is little dang
