The Restless Piper.

A Wall street financier was talking about music. T like all music" he said, except such native and special sorts as the tomtom, the bagpipes or the Indian hufaa give of. Did you ever notice how piper prances up and down as he pipes? He never sits, he never stands still, but up and down, round and round, to and fro, be struts continually. A little boy. listening to the weird skirl of the bagplpes of a street performer, once said to his fa- ther, Father, why does the piper keep on the move all the time he playsy I can't say, my boy the father an- swered, unless 1t is to prevent any one getting the range with a cobble- stone,'"

The Foraker programme in Ohio against Taft has been stated by Sen- ator Dick, Ito appeal to the people and business men on the ground that sanity and prosperity are better than unchecked reform and calamity" That proposition, therefore, acknow- lodges that the republican admins tration has been a failure and has produced calamity and panic. Con- gress, which includes Dick and For aker, is also responsible for the fact that tariff protection is not panic proof and does not produce prosperity as much as the president is, for the republican majority of congress has refused to revise the tariff which shelters the trusts and has omitted to revise our financial laws to meet new. conditions. What is the use, therefore, of the appeal to the people and business men, who are suffering from republican mismanagement, for they will certainly turn a deaf ear to those who have led them to their present pass, and who have shown little sign of sanity.

GOVERNMENT ANIMALS.
Branding Them Is Provided For by
 Army Regulations.


 Whenever you see the letters "U. S." branded on the left fore shoulder of an animal, make up your mind at once that that beast is or was at one time the property of our rich old Un- cle Sam.
 Then again if you knew the key to the system of branding utilized by the quartermaster's department, United States army, you would in a moment be able to tell the organization of the army to which that animal was as- signed immediately after purchase by the government.
 Branding public animals is not a matter of choice, but is provided for by the army regulations, which direct that
 Public animals shall upon the day received be branded with the letters U. S. on the left fore shoulder Horses assigned to organizations will also be branded on the hoof of one fore foot one and one-half inches below the coronet with the designation of the company. Branding irons of uniform size and design will be supplied by the quartermaster's department let ters U. s. to be two inches in height. letters and numbers of hoof brands on the same line 10 be three-fourths of an inch high. the letter to precede the number and blocked so as to pene- trate the hoof one-sixteenth of an inch. For example, the hoof brands on horses assigned to band. Ninth cavalry, would be CB9; to Troop A, Fifth cav airy. would be A5: to Company A. bat talion of engineers. would be BEA."- Cincinnati Enquirer.

No industry is more highly subsidiz-
 ed by the tariff than the window glass
 factories, and the glass workers imag-
 ined they too were protected in get
 ting higher wages, says New York
 critic. The glass trust was naturally
 fostered by this tariff protection. Yet
 all this seeming prosperity has been
 on the surface, as far as the workmen are concerned, for even in prosperous
 times they seldom found work for more than six months out of the year, which cut wages in half. To organize like the glass trust, their master, was very natural, but the trust became possessed of patent machine for making glass that does the work of ten men, and the day of big wages for all the workers became thing of the past. The Amalgamated Associa- tion of Window Glass Workers threat. ened to expel those workmen who &C., cepted work in factories where ma is used, and as only union men are allowed by the Amalgamated to work in those factories, there is a deadlock. The courts have been ap- pealed to enjoin the association from expelling those who are willing to work in the machine factories. Thus the glass workers have discovered that tariff protection does not protect either in stability of work or continu- ing high wages. If the tariff was re- duced on window glass, tho trust and the workmen's combination in re- straint of trade, for that is what the court decided the Amalgamated was. would be compelled to adjust their business to competition. and at least the public would be the gainer and the wOrkmen could be no worse oT.

Correct Interpretation Essential.

Many of the most beautiful pieces of poetry in literature would seem un- interesting and fiat If read by a bad reeiter In the same way a good re- citer will make attractive a poem whose beauties are not so apparent.

GIVE AWAY COTTON
SEED TO FARMERS

j. II. Avery OF the Chamber OF
Commerce is receiving number Of
orders for the stock of cotton seed
secured by the subscription raised
few weeks ago and a great deal OF
seed has already been given out to
farmers in this vicinity. The seed
Is free to every warmer who will
agree to plant 1t and care for as much
as an acre OF the crop this year. The
ground is in fine condition for plant
ing now, cotton, to have chances
OF success should DE planted within
the next ten days.
The seed which is being given out
to the farmers here is from lot
secured from Mr.. Matthews OF Mo
beetle. Mr. Matthews is one OF the
pioneer cotton farmers Of the Pan
handle and has been successfully
raising the crop for a number Of
years. Seed from his place has the
advantage OF being from acclimated
stock and the chances Of success in
the upper Panhandle are much great
er in using acclimated seed than in
using that from stock grown further
south and in lower attitudes. One
ton OF seed was purchased in the
first order but II more is needed adj
ditional orders will be made.
In addition to supplying a money
crop OF great value the raising Of
cotton here will make certain the Sc
curing Of cotton oil mill and the pro
moters Of this movement for the dis
tribution OF seed had especially in
view the oil mill proposition. AL
ready considerable amount OF cot.
ton is being grown over the Panhan-
die and the location of Amarillo
makes 1t possible for an oil mill here
to draw material from large terri
tory. This will give an added profit
to the producers OF he cotton, will
give a new and important industry
here, and will provide close at hand
a supply of feed which will encour-
age the feeding of cattle for mar
ket and for the packing house.

SILVER IN
TON LOTS
OstOured Shipment From Old
MaSiCO Made Sensation al
Union Station
lFrom saturdays Dallyl

Two tons Of pure silver in big
crude bricks stacked out in the open
on an express truck drew a crowd of
wondering on-lookefs at the union
station yesterday afternoon-and
nearly broke the backs of the un-
lucky express handlers who had to
shift the consignment from the DEN
YER to the Santa Fe..
Trouble for EXpressmen.
Denver No. Z arrived from tho
south yesterday four hours late. No.
2O2, northbound on the Santa Fe,
was ready to 90 out and NO, south
bound on the Denver came in while
the other two trains were on the
track. A car or two of perishable
goods on the northbound Denver
which had escaped from the water
blockade south would have been
enough to make the eXpressmen sor-
ry of the jobs. Then those awk-
ward blocks Of white metal came
and it was startling to see what little
respect that pile OF cold wealth re-
Celycd from the express crews. There
were forty-eight bricks in the ship
ment rudely moulded chunks about
the size OF small loayes Of bread, and
they were loaded on truck like so
many pigs of iron. Then all the ex-
prSs handlers who could get
around the truck tugged and sweated
at rolling 1t across the tracks to the
Santa Fe side. There was nothing
on the bricks to show what they
were made Of and they we're the
cause of much speculation among the
bystanders. Trials at lifting the
5rIcis showed that they weighed near
y If not quite a hundred pounds,
but it hardly seemed right to the lay
mind that so much wealth should
be SO carelessly stacked up for ship
ment and thrown onto an express
truck in the open. The bricks each
Sore pasted labels stating that they
we're from a company in Monterey,
Mexico and were consigned to the
London Midland Bank, London, Eng
land. Each also pore numbers on
the ends giving its weight in kilos
and several other numbers which
