zcns of Texas on January |, 1907,
residing in this State since, un-
less exempt on account of age,
must have paid their poll taxes
prior to last Saturday in order
to vote at any election held dur
ing this year. Such being the
law the number of poll tax re-
ceipts taken out in each county
up to last Saturday with the eX-
emptions alluded to, usually
about lOper cent of those paying,
represents the number of reas-
Onably permanent male citizens
of county. Grant this, which
you must do, and then multiply
the number given by five, the av
erage family consisting of six,
and you get the population of the
county male, female, big, little,
old and young. This, of course,
for the Plains country, leaves out
of the calculation altogether the
new growth settlers moving in
since January /, 1907. But, while
it does this -leaveS out one year )
growth-it is useful to show solid
gain by comparisons one county
with another-and for this pur-
pose if no other, The News gives
the figures SO far obtained, as
follows:
Potter county 1,295. OF this
number, according to the Daily
Panhandle, Amarillo citizens took
out ,236, leaving 80 poll tax pay
ers in Potter county outside of
Amarillo.
Randall county 3SS.

who refuses to be cast down by ter
rible physical blight upon life, hope
and prospects. But the news comes
from Washington that Senator Gore
may regain the use of at least one of
his eyes. When he took his seat in
the senate he had given up all hope of
such boon. But a Washington spe-
cialist persuaded him to submit to
treatment, and the pleasant tidings
came over the wire the other day that
the afflicted man had been so bene-
flied that for a brief period of half a
minute he could see an object (his

is prospect that he may regain the

Senator Gore
May See.

During the recent session of con-
gress one of the interesting figures on
the senate floor was that of Thomas
P. Gore of Oklahoma. For a member
serving his first term Senator Gore
was remarkably active in debate and
during the last days of the session he
attracted national attention because of
the part he took in the LaFollette fill
buster against emergency currency
legislation. Whether he was right or
wrong in this and other matters of
senatorial discussion we shall not now
consider. He made his personality. felt
in the highest legislative body in the
world, and yet Thomas p. Gore is
blind In all that august assemblage
of digntaries his were the only eyes
that could not see. The lights, the
glamour, the visible impressiveness of
the scenes in which he took part were
not for him. Shut within the dark
ness of his inner self his alert brain
worked in loneliness, spurred on by
a tireless ambition.
Senator Gore is not only the only
blind senator who has held that ex.
allied office, but he is the youngest
senator. Through sheer force of grim
determination he has obtained recog
milton of his talents under conditions
that would discourage most men. For
tunate in having a wife who Is excep
tionally well qualified to assist him
he has risen above the embarrassment
of blindness and has left his impress
upon nations councils.
Senator Gore has been totally blind
since his 14th year. so this tremendous
handicap was borne during the best
period of his formative life. He has
wrung from adversely the Gurel o.
success, and he stands todd an ex

tiles at a reasonable price and were
forced to issue short time notes at a
comparatively high rate of interest to
enable them to continue their develop
ments. AS wages were high, owing
to the scarcity of labor and high prices
were being paid for materials, the
earnings of the railways were consid-
erably reduced, although the gross
earnings showed an increase. This
brought about lower quotations for
railway shares and the industrials fol-
lowed the downward path"

Southern Req resentation
In Conventions.

Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and
South Carolina have 50 delegates seat
ed in the Chicago convention, although
their combined vote for Roosevelt was
but 1924. Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut also have 50 delegates, but
their combined vote for Roosevelt was
952,03S. Contrast 1924 with 925,03S,
and you have the reason and the es-
sence of the kick in the Chicago con-
vention against southern representa-
ton.
The figures show that a republican
in the south has just about 100 times
as much political power in national
conventions as a republican in a north
ern state and yet the southern repub-
lican is either an officeholder or an
officeseeker, whereas the average re-
publican in the north has nothing to
do with federal offices, and he has
telectoral votes behind him. The south
ern republican has none.
The demand therefore goes up at
Chicago that representation in republi-
can national conventions should here
n no hacnd nth
This would probably eliminate the
negro voter and the contesting dele
gate. The hunt for negro delegates
would pass into history as a discredit-
able incident to all concerned.
Delegates are now based on the
electoral college, and it is proposed to
base them hereafter on the votes ac-
tually cast for the republican ticket.
f, The question is to be fought over at
Chicago, and there are some indica-
tons that Taft may be the last benef-
ciary of the southern rotten boroughs.
Many feel that the quadrennial scandal
should be done away with, and such
men regard this as a good time to
do it.
Still what would be matter OF
party practice might be extended until
fnnffAA1 l..
packers attack upon the south. The
present southern representation at
Chicago is an evil, but one evil should
not be cured by another and a greater
evil, and for this reason the efforts
of the allies at Chicago may fail. The
friends of Taft will perhaps see that it
does.

Why Good Times
Are Assured.

According to Washington dispatch
to the New York Herald, Seymour
Bell, British commercial agent in this
country, has made careful analysis
of our financial condition for his gov.
eminent and as a result sees the pass
ing of uncertainty and the return of
business prosperity. He reports recu-
peration from the financial depression
of last fall already well unuer way and
predicts a safer aHd more normal basis
for general business.
His predictions are encouraging
from the fact that they are in direct
line with those made by the best
American authorities while they have
an added significance for the reason
that he has regarded conditions from
disinterested standpoint.
the important points he
brings out are the following:
"A country that produces crops val
uei at nearly a1,500,000,000 sterling is
unlikely to suffer long from industrial
stagnation. 1t represents too large an
amount to be held long uninvested.
Farmers have had nine years of al
most uninterrupted prosperity, their
buying power is high, and the towns
dependent upon them will remain
prosperous.
"The farmers who few years age
owed money now own money and have
an assured outlet for their products
as there is no oversupplying
