mighty interesting facts about this
section. The secretary of the Board
is very busy sending these books out.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson's
annual report is most gratifying one,
and beside showing the marvellous
products of the farms of the country
running into the billions of dollars,
shows that the conditions of farm life
are steadily growing better. With the
coming of the rural mail delivery, the
rural telephone, and the growing de-
mand for better roads and better
houses and better implements of work,
farm life is becoming more satisfac-
tory to thousands upon thousands of
people Wherever this new spirit has
invaded the farm is to be found con-
tentment and prosperity. 1t is only
these better things who still think i'll
of the farm and its life and work.
The secretary calls attention to the
fact that many city born and trained
men are now going to the farm to find
their life work The agricultural col
leges are giving us a great popula-
ton of scientific farmers and they
are bringing to pass great things. The
farm will continue to grow into favor,
and by and by there will be new coun-
tries opened up and new fields titled,
and then this great country will re-
veal to the world what it. is really
capable of doing. East Texas has
thousands of acres of good rich lands
to offer as homes to the men who
want ideal conditions under which to
farm And no country can offer more
than this section. But intelligent work
is necessary here. 1t requires as
much knowledge and work to raise
good cotton crop here, one that does
justice to the natural conditions, as
it does to raise oranges and make
them pay in California. and one result
is achieved by the same means as
the other-intelligent application. The,
man who refuses to use fertilizer and
employ modern methods on his farm
has much to learn. There is no need
for him to look about for better
country There are no better coun-
tries.

COMMISSION UPHELD
BY COURTS DECISION
[By Associated Press. ]

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.-In sus-
tanning a demurrer by the government
to an application for an injunction
filed by the Southern Pacific company
in an effort to restrain the interstate
commerce commission from establish
ing a rate on lumber between Oregon
and California, the United States cir
cult court of appeals today rendered
a decision which upholds the authority
of the commission to fix freight rates
upon what it considers just and
equitable basis, and sustains, in it's
direct application, the most important
clause of the rate law-the right Of
the commission to relieve shippers
when in the commissions Judgment
the patrons of the railroad are en-
titled to such relief.
While the opinion of the court will
probably not be available for several
days, the victory of the government
appears to be substantial one. Rep
resentatives of the United States dis
trict attorneys office and the inter-
state commerce commission declared
this the first instance since the enact
ment of the rate law that it was al
legged the commission, had erred in
question of discretion and judgment,
and the first time the question had
been placed squarely before court
of this jurisdiction the right of the
commission to make, or correct, rates
under such circumstances.

BRYAN FINISHES HIS
WHIRLWIND JOURNEY
[By Associated Press.l

CRESTON, Iowa, Sept. 30.-Travers-
ing the southeastern and southern por-
tions Of Iowa all day in an ordinary
coach, William j. Bryan concluded his
whirlwind speech making tour of more
than three weeks at this place tonight,
where big open air meeting was held.
No greater demonstration has been
accorded anywhere than in Iowa.
When he took a late train for Lincoln
he had delivered during the day fifteen
speeches to immense crowds, a great
number of whom were farmers who
manifested the greatest interest. He
devoted himself principally to a dis
cussion of the platform of the two par
ties with special reference to publicity
of campaign contributions, election of
senators by direct vote and tariff. He
was unsparing in his attacks on the
president and Mr.. Taft, and once again
declared the president had degraded
the high office he holds by participate
ing in the campaign, instead of leav-
ing Mr.. Taft to fight 1t out alone.
AS for Mr.. Taft, the Democratic cam
didate heaped upon him the severest
criticism, accusing him among other
things of borrowing all his ideas from
the Democrats and other sources and
originating nothing

WITH ARCHB0LD

Shirt"
IBy Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Forrner
United tSates Senator John L. Nc
Laurin of South Carolina last night
gave out a signed statement regarding
the correspondence between himself
and John d. Archbold, vice president
of the Standard OIL company, recently
made public by a local newspaper.
IAN effort has been made to create
a political sensation by the publica-
ton of certain correspondence between
John d. Archbold, vice president OF
the Standard Oil company and myself
For that correspondence / have nc
apologies to make. At the time the
letters were written I had the honor
to enjoy and am proud still to possess
the friendship of John d. Archbold,
for whom have the highest regard.
At the time the letters were written
1 was engaged in bitter struggle In
which was involved not only my own
political future, but the economic and
political principles for which / stood,
and which, stated briefly, meant the
emancipation of the south from the
ignorant prejudice of Bourbonism and
the bloody shirt into the freedom of
an enlightened self-interest and the
progress of an intelligent industrial-
ism.
'In the support of these principles
and the hope of this progress saw
then no improperly in enlisttng, II
practicable, the assistance of the most
progressively administered and the
most intelligently officered corporation
that human Intelligence has yet pro-
duced.
View Point Unchanged
Nor has the enormous body of stat
utory crime since created, or the hypo-
critical affectation of morality assumed
by some of our legislatures and con-
gress, in any wise changed my point
of view, or quickened my conscience OF
expediency, as seems to have been the
case with some Of my former colleagues
and associates.
"The constituencies that they repre-
sent do not hesitate to take Mr.. Car
negie's trust-produced and tariff-pro-
tected money for their churches and
libraries, or to accept Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's large donations for the education
Of the negro whom they have disfran-
chised.
"If political campaigns are to be run
without money and political progress
is to be achieved without financial ex-
penditure. it is high time both parties
should be apprised OF the Utopian era,
but until that period arrives'I see no
reason why I, battling for what con-
ceiye to be the right, should decline
or accept the support, whether finan-
cial or personal, of which I stood In
need. Men may die. but right prin-
ciples persist. and in the end they will
triumph"

rs,ecial to The Herald.l

LONG BEACH, Sept. 30.-Asserting
that the establishment would not be
reopened until the table license privl-
leee had been assured, Manager ID.
M. Linnard announced, after meet
ing of the directors this morning, that
the Hotel Virginia would close at noon
tomorrow.
A few months will elapse before an
election can be held to determine the
sentiment regarding the table license
privilege. Because of the strength OF
the prohibition sentiment here the out
come of such an election is very
doubtful. and the date of the Virginia's
reopening may be in the dim distance
Col. c. r. Drake of Los Angeles Is
president of the company which bullt

Tonight Manager D. M. Linnard en-
tertained at an informal banquet the
heads of the civic organizations of the
city and the city officials. The ques-
ton of the hotels future and the ne
cessity of the table license was dis
cussed. This gathering marked the
opening of a campaign which VIII pe
Waged stubbornly by many who believe
the closing of Hotel Virginia Will be
sad blow to the municipality.
The Virginia, which has been the
scene of many gay and brilliant fun9-
tions and the stopping place of leaders
in wealth and social position, will be
deserted, save for few caretakers.
The merchants of the town will be the
first to feel the result.
The raiding of the hotel and the
seizure of liquors when a big conven-
ton of newspapermen was in progress;
the assessment of a huge fine and the
warning that no liquors must be dis
pensed about the premises, even to
tourists, aroused CONSERVATION in the
minds of Manager Linnard and his as
sistants, and caused number of veal
thy guests to leave for ether hotels, no
more elegant but more "open."
The election, if one is called to de-
termine the sentiment regarding the
table license, may be on the general
proposition to allow other hotels and
restaurants to serve liquors with meals
The size of the meal ordered probably
will be fixed.
The Virginia opened March 81. It's
construction and equipment cost more
than a million dollars. The furnish
ings are superb and the cuisine and the
efforts on the part of the management
to increase the guests pleasure made
the place famous.
