BURLESON DISAPPROvES. Does Not Favor Method That
 Jordan Suggests.


 Washington, May 2.-Representative Burleson of Texas has sent the follow ing letter to Harvie Jordan. president of the Southern Cotton association. in answer to a letter asking the introduc- | tion of joint resolution for the ap- pointment of committee to investi- gate the cotton exchange methods du- ring the summer recess of congress and to recommends remedial legisla. tion.
 ''1 do not believe that the president has any idea of making recommenda- tion along the line upon which think Legislation should be had The report rom the bureau of corporations on the reduction written and introduced by me ordering the investigation of the cotton exchanges with a view of escertaining what effect their oper- ations would have upon the market price of cotton, and whether the fluct- nations in the market price occasioned by the character of these contracts and deliveries made thereon have not -Ne OVNh SCit tO lHt uOuSt | unuGT- stand it is in the hands of the presi. dent, and that he is holding 1t for some purpose. On Saturday I had adopted a resolution by me directing that said report be sent to the congress at once.
 Recently the secretary of commerce and labor gave out an interview in which he stated that the president was not opposed to legitimate cotton ex. changes, but was opposed to bucket shops, etc. 1, too, am opposed to buck etshops, but the injury to the cotton producer coming from bucketshop op- erations Is nil compared with the great hurt which Is done him by the oper- ations on the so-called legitimate cot ton exchanges, where future contracts and the delivery of cotton are dealt in.
 For the reason above set forth do not expect any substantial aid from the president towards the enactment of the legislation which l am propos- Ing. In fact. do not look for any rec omendations to the congress by the president on this subject
 Il do not believe in the commission plan suggested in your letter. Even though President Roosevelt should sub. init to congress the report above re- ferred to with recommendations based thereon. l believe the best chance for effective legislation must come through the ordinary channels. It is my pur- pose to press the bill have introduc- ed for the suppression of gambling In cotton, and I believe that ultimately l will succeed in passing it."

WHAT OF THE FUTJNE?

If the spirit of righteousness animates and controls our good town as was prophesied at our great mass meeting of citizens few days ago; if out of that spir- it manifested at the meeting comes a rigid unbending enforc- ment Of the law, blessing will come to us even beyond our fond est hopes.
 What will they be? This first The example Of the town out laWing its greatest evil-the li- quor traffic in the way of blind tigers. Who can measure the in IIuence upon the coming man hood of the town of this high and righteous example?
 The child who walks the streets of our town and knows there are no lurking tigers to snap him drinks in the great truth that his father had some thlng tC do with closing them because it was right, eternally right to outlaw and destroy sin. There will come to him thoughts anu feelings that will mould and shape the future current of his life.
 Who can measure the infls&i zee of high example? It is not what we think or say or feel. but what we do that counts.

portions ON the campus, and Is being
worked out In three chapters. Chapter
one was complaint filed with the u

the team, alleging that he was dis
courteous, "naggy," and called vile
names To Manager Fuzzy Moore

son TO play in a later game.
Chapter two is the answer of the
conductor. referred to the L. of u. fac
ulty by the railroad, to which 1t was
sent. This answer claims that the uni
versity students made all kinds of

cupied. that they smoked in this Pull
man. that they gambled in their berths,
showing real money to the size of 10
cent pieces, and that they occupied
berths for which they would not pay,
hence the quarrel with the conductor
Chapter three is the answer of Man
ager Moore and all of those interested
to the railroad, showing statements
from all other passengers OF the cars
that they were not molested. denying
the charge of smoking, and alleging
that every player had berth assigned

parts. One of the rules Is that II an
nspirant does not know which part he
Is adapted for, he will be permitted

nent student who is ambitious to Sc
cure the best possible place has entered
for the leading part In competition
with member of the dramatic club
who has won a place each year for the
past four years and has also entered
for two other parts.
The rivalry among the girls Is ex-
tremely keen as there are only three
female parts In the play and there are
more than three young women who
have been IN former contests and many
more who imagine they are especially
adapted for one OF the three parts
For some of the parts there are az
many as seven trying out while for

the only contestant. II no one else en-
tiers for this part II viii be necessary
