HOW THE SOUTH CAN SECURE
CONTROL OF THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT.

Last June. in private letter to the
editor OF The Eagle. former Governor
l.. F. c. Garvin of Rhode Island, who
is a Democrat, prophesied the nomina-
ton of Taft and Bryan, and the cleo
ton of the former. His belief that
the Republicans would triumph was
based on the fact that they controlled
a majority of the wealth OF the coun-
try. The result has vindicated Dr.
Garvin's judgment.
There is a lesson in this for the
South. This section is naturally the
richest part of the United States. and
when its resources are developed II
will own a preponderance OF the
wealth of the country. Population VIII
increase pari passu with material de-
velopment. With population and
wealth will come political power II
is. therefore, the patriotic duty OF
every son of the South to use his best
efforts to promote the material devei-
opment of his section.

If there is a dissatisfied farmer In
Brazos county he ought to take a
day off and devote it to careful and
prayerful examination of himself in
an effort to locate the cause Of the
trouble. If he will do so honestly
and candidly the chances are he will
come to the conclusion that he has
failed to make as good use of his OPP
portunities as he might have done. If,
however, he still feels that fortune has
treated him unkindly and that the
fault Is not at all his own, the best
thing he can do for himself and for
the county is to sell out to someone
who can better appreciate the bounty
of nature as it is generously bestowed
in Brazos county.

JUSTICE ON THE FLY.
George +. Morrow Halls Auto Trip
While Man Is Sent to Penitentiary.

George F. Morrow. who was former
ly one of the proprietors of the Hotel
Throop in Topeka had rather I'M
usual experience during an overland
trip from Lawrence to Colorado in his
Great Smith car which he bought at
the Topeka factory last spring.
Mr.. Morrow writes that he made the
trip to Colorado Springs following the
line of the Santa F'e railroad and that
the only accident to the car on the
740 mile trip recorded by his odometer
were two punctures, but he was delay
ed few hours at Pueblo while wait
ing for the wheels of justice to turn.
The party stopped for breakfast at
the Grand hotel, leaving the car out in
front. While they were in the hotel
a man who knew little about automo-
biles tried to steal the car but was
unable to run it. Failing in this he
took a suit case from the tonneau and
made his escape. Mr.. Morrow tele-
phoned the police and the man was ar
rested in a short time. All the articles
in the suit case were found in pawn
shops and recovered. At 2:30 p. m. the
thief was arraigned. pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to one year and three
months in the penitentiary and the ex-
curSionistS went on their way having
lost only six or seven hours by the de-
lay. This was good example of west
ern justice, says Mr.. Morrow
In writing to a friend in Topeka
about his experiences after reaching
Colorado Springs Mr.. Morrow says:
Il made two fine trips last week in
my Great Smith car-one to Denver
and one to Cripple Creek. Descending
the mountain into Cripple Creek |
passed a Packard trying to make the
mountain but failed. That made me
think some but that afternoon after
big hail and snow storm I put on the
chains. got my party and started for
that mountain road. My Great Smith
climbed that three miles and never
hesitated. 1 haven't had a break nor
a puncture since I came to Colorado"
H. T. Taylor of Larned, who has re-
turned from a trip to Colorado in his
Great Smith car, writes to friend in
Topeka:
Il made the trip from Larned to Col
orado Springs and back with four
large people besides myself and all of
our extras and baggage and did not
have the least bit of trouble. We were
not delayed a minute on account of
the working of the machine. They all
know the Great Smith around Colorado
Springs and Denver"

rule ceased in Springfield today. the
military force being reduced to one
regiment and the task of preserving
order being turned over to the civil

cept for the closed saloons and the
ruined homes and business houses in
some of the streets there was nothing
to indicate that a week ago the city
had been in the hands of a mob.
The early morning hours were prac-
tically without incident. One case of
shooting was reported from the north
east section of the city, a sentry as
sorting that some one had discharged
a double barreled shotgun in his d.
rection. The Shafter cavalry was sent
from the Jail quarters but no trace of
the marauders was found. The pro-
shooting has practically ceas-
ed since the troops began to depart,
the absence of the numerous patrols
and sentries having seemingly elimin-
ated the incentive to cause excitement
