THEplatform promulgated by
the Democrats of Maryland, at
their State Convention on Jnne
3, is a model OF brevity and clear
ness, and is a wise cue to the
Denver convention. 1t empha-
sises three issues-Tariff reform
according to Democratic princi-
pies, retrenchment in the expen-
ditures OF the Federal Govern
ment, and resistance to Federal
encroachment upon the reserved
rights OF the States and the peo-
pie. 1t is such a platform as
Jefferson himself might have
written.

1t was seen that the oysters had grown
naturally from the eyes of the crab.
Undoubtedly the crab must have been
sick when the spawn struck him; other

1t is also wonder, knowing the vivac-
ity OF crab. why he was not able to
tear off the young oysters.

held his teeth closed in playful ObSt1nacy when the
girl showed the steel snaftle between his lips An

The crown prince greeted his
father through megaphone and was
responded by waving hand,
Upon alighting from the train the
emperor drove to the castle and took
a position on the terrace. The air
ship then approached and when di-
rectly over the castle the crown
prince threw out letter addressed

Count Zeppelin then circumnavi-

A DAMAGING ADMISSION.

The Houston Chronicle says:
Moorfield Storey, attorney for the
Waters-Pierce Oil company, in his
argument before the United States
supreme court, perhaps unconscious
ly, made an interesting and import
ant admission. He declared that
to punish the Waters-Pierce Oil
company because part OF the stock
was held by the Standard, the same
having been acquired long before
the passage OF the Texas antitrust
law, would be to subject the Waters
Pierce company to the penalties Of
an ex post facto law. (which the
Federal constitution prohibits" and
in answer to a question by Justice
Peckham, Mr.. Storey admitted that
the corporators in the Waters-Pierce
company, formed in 1900, we're the
same as those in the old company.
Now, we have been told all along
that the Waters-Pierce Oil company
in which the Standard Oil company
took stock prior to the enactment
of an antitrust law in Texas, died
in May, 1900, and that the present
Waters-Pierce Oil company was born
in the said month of May. II that
is the truth, then the antitrust
law Of Texas is not ex post facto
as 1t relates to the present Waters
Pierce OIL company.
But It seems, in order to get the
ex post facto doctrine to work, coun-
sci for the oil company admits the
truth OF the contention all along
made in Texas that the new (?)
Waters-Pierce Oil company Is the
same old company, with the same
old stockholders.
In the light OF Mr.. Storey's adj
mission, what becomes of the declar-
alton that the company Organized

RECOGNIZING AGRICULTURAL
JOURNALS.
Oklahoma Farm Journal:

Oklahoma Farm Journal:
For the first time, the agricultural
press has been recognized as a fac
tor in agricultural education by plac-
irg a discussion OF It's relation to
farmers institutes on the program OF
the American association OF farm
ers' institute workers which is soon
to meet in Washington. Probably as
a whole, IL has not been many years
since farm papers really merited
consideration as factor in agricul-
tural education, But In recent years,
farm papers worthy OF confidence
have come into being and they have
gained II as they are worthy There
are yet a great many alleged farm
papers published solely for the pur-
pose OF exploiting the farming popu-
lation, with no thought OF giving
real service at all approaching the
pretensions made. These are for the
most part OF the never-stop sort and
have made It very difficult for really
useful publications TO overcome the
prejudice against farm papers caused
by the uselessness Of some OF them.
But there are others that for accur-
acy of the information supplied will
bear close comparison with the eX-
pertinent stations. And such papers
are the means of enforcing and keep
ing before those who need II the re-
suits OF Investigations conducted by
the experiment stations and the ac-
cumulated experience of the best
farmers OF the state. To cover one
state we'll is all that the best farm
papers now attempt and the best
farm paper in each state Is an educa-
tional institution just as necessary
and doing just as effective work az
the agricultural college and expert
ment station. And the colleges and
experiment stations which cooperate
with such papers are the ones that
have the confidence OF the best farm

WANT HEALTH MEASURES.
Amarillo Physicians desire Better
Ordinances.
From Saturdays Daily.)

- AOhl baNNA NY q DuAgsJ
The fact that many of the physi-
clans and other citizens of Amarillo
are anxious for better rules and reg
ulations governing the health of the
city, is now attracting attention. The
fact is that few OF the leading med
ical men of the city have spoken
their sentiments to the officials Of
the council, and it is not improbable
that some definite action will be
taken in the near future.
1t is the claim OF the medical men
that this city may be placed almost
beyond the probability of typhoid fe-
vers under properly executed health
regulations such as should prevail
here. This disease is the one curse
OF the western portion of the state.
1t is gratifying to note that the per-
centage has been greatly reduced
since the installation Of the sanitary
sewerage system in Amarillo.

PANHANDLE
PROSPERITY
IS ASSURED
"SOIId Stone Wall Cannot Keep
People Away" Says
Wells
(From Saturdays Dsily)

"a solid stone wall would not
keep people out OF the Panhandle
now" remarked l.. A. Wells this
forenoon. Continuing Mr.. Wells
said: II have just returned from
trip over the country, and may
state upon best authority that we
are up against the finest condition
on record for the Panhandle OF Tex
as, The advertising has been done,
the seed is sown and the harvest is
ripening. The election is over and
the promise OF national prosperity
will doubtless be fulfilled.
There is nothing OF hot-air quail
ity in the statement that nothing
has ever suggested the growth that
is to be ours within the next few
months The money needed to de-
velop this portion OF the state is
being released and soon there will
be a string o. home-buIlders locat-
ing here that will surprise even the
most expectant.
Scarcely a state in the east and
northeast the south and the south
east will withhold its citizens from
the Panhandle OF Texas. The worth
OF the soil is becoming known, and
this, coupled with the low price and
the catchy terms upon which lands
may be had here, combine to draw
like magnet. Unparalleled advance
ment is in store for this portion OF
the state A matter OF little time
will demonstrate this fact to every
resident OF this country"
