A DOG LAW.


 The interview with Mir. Null of Hale County. published in The Advertiser . few days ago, was very interesting. It was not only interesting, but in- structive. It showed the farmers where the advantage was in raising sheep on the high and sandy lands of the State, and the profit there was. The only drawback to him and his Kind was dogs. Every one who has been around the State knows how true his state ment was. and every one who has no- ticed the proceedings of the Legisla- ture knows how useless it is to expect any relief from that source.
 The only remedy In sight Is for the farmers to follow the example of a Will COX landlord. Mir. Frank Melton. of Pine Apple. He. is a large land owner and planter. His plan Is not to allow any of his tenants to have more than one dog, and that dog must be kept on the premises of the family. and not allowed to prowl around, especially during the quail breeding season. He says one hungry dog win do more dam- age to quails in the spring than three pot hunters during the hunting days. These half starved dogs while forag- ing will find quail's nest of dozen or more eggs which are promptly eat en-probably two or three a day--and the result is easily seen.
 Were all planters to adopt that rule the "crop" of dogs would not only be curtailed but the increase in birds and sheep would soon be noticeable. Sup pose they try it.

HoldIn. Back Cotton.

San Antonio Express.
 report from Gonzales says there are 1000 bales of cotton stored in the Farmers Union warehouse of that city, some of which represents last years holdings.
 It Is a little surprising to learn at this late date that any of the cotton of last years crop Is still being held in storage If the object be to secure higher prices than have prevailed since the product was placed in the ware house.
 That the cotton growers of South west Texas who followed the advice of unsafe leaders to hold for higher prices made a great mistake last autumn and winter must now be generally admit ted. When the holding movement was first inaugurated the staple command : ed A better price than producers have been able to get for it since. During June and July more than a hundred thousand bales of cotton were marketed in South Texas at an average of about 10 cents a pound for .middling grade, some of which had been in the ware- house for six or eight months or pos- sibly longer.

Get Back To the Main Polas.

New Hork Evening Post.
 The sum of the matter is that the case against Foraker is pretty clear ly proved by his admission and Mir. Archbold's that the letters which Hearst read are genuine. On the other hand. the case against Haskell is by no means convincing. There Is as yet no indisputable evidence that he tried to bribe Monnett in the interests of the Standard Oil, or that his course toward the Prairie Company was prompted by sinister motives. This is not to say, however. that he is the proper man for Treasurer of the Dem. ocratic National Committee. Evident ly he Is anything but a suitable per- son for that place. His relations with the Standard oil are still under suspi. cion, and aside from that, he has a shady record as a promoter His con |. nection with dubious financial enter prises would seem to make 1t highly desirable that he should resign.
 But when all Is said and done. 1t must be granted that most of the fu- rious debate is irrelevant It throws little or no light on the main issue = the relative fitness of Taft and Bryan for the Presidency and the soundnesS of their policies. This Is the point 10 which we must now come back.

Mir. Bryan. in addition to the dis creditable war made upon him by the Republicans. has to combat the cow ardly methods of Hearst and Tom Wat son. These unworthies could not be more active in their efforts against MT. Bryan. if they were regulary employ ed by the Republicans. Their whole aim seems to be to defeat Mr. BryAn's s election. but in their cases perhaps Mir Bryan is to be congratulated for the "enemies he has made"

A transportation question that has
been agitated in Ceylon for a long
while, and that is now being brought
actively to the front again, is that of
connecting Ceylon to India by a rail
road across Adams Bridge and the
shallow bodies of water Icing between
Rameswaram and Tallaimannar at the
northern end of the island. The South
Indian Railway company are bringing
their line to the extreme point of the
small island Of Rameswaram, so that
only small gap of water will inter
vene between the termini of the In
dian and Ceylon railways. If the con
nection is made at all it will make
Colombo the port for southern India
and will greatly benefit the tea and
rubber industries by facilitating the
transportation of laborers from India.
