A Thinking Campaign.

Manx Moving 10 Panhandlc.

From figures secured az the Fort
Worth & Denver offices from w. F.
Sterley, general freight agent, the
march OF the agricultural man from
all sections of the state as well as
from almost every other state In the
union bids fair to exceed all records
this year, all en- route for the Pan
handle district where millions OF
acres OF cattle are now being con-
verted into farming lands.
During the month OF November
the Fort Worth G. Denver lines alone
hauled 200 emigrant cars to that
section OF the state. these figures
representing 29s families choosing
to cast their lots in farming pur-
suits In the new country, while the
December records up until Christ
mas disclose shipments OF cars to the
number OF 22S.
The fiscal year OF the Fort Worth
& Denver alone, which ends June 80.
1907, shows that 154S cars were
shipped, and inasmuch as the winter
shipments are always the heaviest,
Il is conservative to estimate that
the 1908 business will result in the
establishment OF another record.
January will produce, It is expect
ed, the largest figures. During that
month and the month previous the
crops are gathered and rental con-
tracts expire, enabling farmers to
make all desired changes Reaching
into the Panhandle are the Rock
Island, Santa Fe, Frisco and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas lines also,
and as all OF these lines also report
large movement of farmers to the

EFFECTIVE PROHIBITION.

While in Alabama, Georgia ana
Oklahoma officers of the law were
pouring untold gallons of spirits into
the cutters on New Years eve,
very different sort OF prohibition
campaign was moving toward its cul-
mination in the north. 1t is report
ed that $4,000 employees of the
Northwestern railroad company have
signed the total abstinence pledge, q
monster copy OF which, with $4,000
signatures affixed, has been sent to-
the president OF the corporation. Tho
reason for this wholesale resolution
is said to be found in the rule adopt
ed by the railway officials In re-
ducing their forces to the usual win
ter basis. All total abstainers, &C.
cording to this rule, were retained;
only drinking men we're stricken
from the payrolls, When those &C.
customed to indulge in alcoholic
stimulants learned of,this policy they
took thought among themselves and
the earnestness OF their self-search-
ing is reflected in the great New
Years resolution.

Zimmerman Draws Conclusions.
The PalO Duro Bill.

Congressman stephens Is awake to
the possibilities Of national park
in the Panhandle. He introduced in
congress Monday, bill to provide
for the establishment of national
forest reserve of 100000 acres in
Randall and Armstrong counties to
include the headwaters of Red river,
It provides for the condemnation OF
property If the land needed for the
purpose should not be offered at Il
reasonable price, 1t also authorizes
the secretary of agriculture to pur-
chase the Goodnight herd Of buff
faloes.
Should this bill become a law and
the Palo Duro canyon become ma
tional property, Texas would have an
added attraction for tourists as we'll
as an unsurpassed pleasure ground
within easy access, There will be no
quibbling over the question OF turn
ing Texas ground over to the gov
eminent because 1t Is manilestly
within the province of the national
government to provide the parks for
the whole people. Had it not been
for the government, half the beauties
of the Yellowstone would be un-
known. The Grand Canyon OF the
Colorado in Arizona is directly under
governmental supervision and Unit
ed States rangers patrol the forests
on either side.
The climate in that portion of the
Panhandle where the Palo Duro lies
Is admirably suited to the raising Of
buffalo, and Congressman Stephens
suggestion that the Goodnight herd
be purchased is an excellent one.
1t is to be hoped that the other
Texans In congress will lend to Mr.
Stephens bill the support necessary
to Its passage and that the Palo Duro
can be preserved as it now is, beau

Why Oppose Bryan"


In tho News and Courier Of tho

Wow Of the political situation as 1t
affects William jennings Bryan, az
tho Democratic nominee for president
especially as viewed by such lead
Ing Democrats" of the state as Gov

TO be translated still, in the es-
timalion OF these leading Democrats,
Mr. Bryan is not the poper man 10

one OF these leading Democrats"
gives his reason why Bryan is not the
right man, but We infer that these

many leading Democrats who seem
10 think that IL Is better to nominate
the shadow Of Democracy In name

million votes.
1t is conceded now by everybody
that some change will have TO be
made in our governmental financial
system, yet this is the same system
that some leading Democrats
fought or opposed Mr.. Bryan on.
Mr., Bryan has always insisted that
our financial policy Us managed
more in the interest OF Wall street
than for the mutual benefit OF the
Masses and it looks strange. now,
to have our leading Democrats" say

Bryan as model citizen, yet oppose
