Purely Business.

In these days political supre-
macy is made largely matter of
business. A long purse and the
activity of q numerous corps of
hireling workers, build up pollti-
cal prominency and make the aspi-
rant bowling patriot and distin-
guished statesman. This is espe-
cislly the case where conventions
are to be packed, and voiciferous
heelers "make the welkin ring"
with their shouts for their favor
lite. This is simply paid for ma
chine work without regard to any
personal qualifications as a states
man, character for patriotism, or
an unimpeachable record to COM
mend the candidate to the confid-
ence and support of the masses.
Thus we are told that LaFollette
has organized political machine
in Wisconsin to secure the support
of the State for President. He
employs 5000 men to work for
him and embraces committee of
five in every township, as we'll as
assembly district committees of
five each and congressional district
committees with equal member
ship, the whole organization
crowned with q State Central
Committee of FIVE who are the
final arbiters.
The voluntary organization of
the people to advance the candid
acy of an aspirant is perfectly
legitimate and proper and is an
indication of his popularity and
worthlness to aspire to political
honors. But the deliberate gerry
Wandering of q State, and manu-
featuring public opinion through
hired enthusiasts, indicate the
lack of personal popularity not
less than q doubt of the personal
worthiness of the seeker after
endorsement for q high official
position.
The Chanler method of flooding
the country with journals with
marked articles Mandatory of his
personal character and political
record. is but another instance of
manufacturing public opinion
through the lavish use of news
paper articles. "Money makes
the mare co." but it does not
always secure the endorsement of
the sovereign American masses in
the exercise of their suffrage.
These methods to achieve popu-
larity will fall into disuse when
the primary system becomes the
modus operandi of selecting can
from the President of the
the United States down to the
ward constable. This system is
rapidly spreading and becoming
and the time is not far
distant when it will be generally
Then every voter has
IN equal voice in the selection of
his officials. And it will be i'm
possible for ambitious Individuals
to manipulate machine politics,
AS SO often prevails at the present
tire.
A number of the States have
already adopted the primary
method of selecting their senator's,
and minor officials, and
the drift of public opinion is
strongly towards q popular vote
for Government rulers. 1t is only
. question of time when this sys-
tenn will prevail. and professional
politics will receive q death blow.
Then, in verify, will this become

mas morn, shortly after old Time
had tolled the twelve strokes of
the midnight hour, The belated
railway train was speeding through
the indistinct shadows of the wan
ing moonbeams and the battling
hosts of darkness. The train
stopped at way station in answer
to the signal. The passengers
were curled upon the seats to
catch the drowsy god while the
train sped on its way.
ALI but one. He was q journa-
list and a reporter. He bad turn
ed over a seat in front of him and
was enjoying ease with becoming
dignity, In came couple of pas
sengers. The girl pointed to u
seat against the front of the car
behind the tall back of the revers-
ed seat on which that journalist
was reposing his limbs. That
twain, for the other was a young
man. dropped into the seat and il
was cosy retreat from observa-
ton. They could not see the
lynx-eyed reporter in. front of
them. He could see the top of a
hat and next to it q dainty fabric
of a woman's head gear orna-
meuted with white silk ribbons.
His attention was drawn by the
mysterious movements of those
two hats with an affinity for each
other that was suggestive. Then
the truth dawned on his obtuse
brain. Here was a very youthful
pair on their bridal tour to the
city.
Naturally they were oblivious
to the roar of the speeding tram
and bubbling over with their new
found Joy and happiness.
But they had not taken into
account, in their seeming seclu-
sion, the looking glass on the
right of the seat they occupied.
nor the adjacent car panels SINH
lar ornamented. But the ubi-
quitous reporter, in sduaring
around to look out of the window,
caught the rejection of q picture
that was no phantasy of the brain
from the outside obscurity. 1t
was q veritable moving picture,
real, sentient and fascinating.
Sleepl Not he.
That fair girl, with heart on her
lips and soul in her eyes, fresh
from the nectar of her love, which
softly melted in kisses showered
on his own from her ruby lips.
But why,unfold all the mysteries
of that purple dream of love?
Oblivious to their surroundings
they lived but for each other, in
the first golden moments of their
happiness. They were not aware
that there were eyes to see their
bliss and a 'chieI's among ye takin'
notes, and, faith, he'll prent it."
The Proposed Amendments.
Five constitutional amendments
will be submitted to the voters at
the coming State election. They
are proposed BY the recent session
Of the Legislature. They are as
follows:
I. Consolidating the seven tax
collectors in New Orleans into
one. fixing his salary at IS, 900. and
all fees payable into the
Treasury of the State.
2. Authorizing the Legislature
to iniatiate legislation for the
benefit of the Railroad Commis-
sion. Under the existing article
Of the Constitution the Legisla-
ture is powerless to act except
upon the recommendation Of the
commission.

Reform Needed.
Depite the enthusiastic en-
dorsement of President Roosevelt,
and the recommendation of the
Waterways Convention to Con-
gress to appropriate $50.000,0 900
annually for the internal improve
ment of the country's streams
and water courses, that august
body now has the unmitigated
gall to declare that it is an I'M
possibility to make the appro-
priatlon this year or next. 1t
says the navy has all the money
that can be allotted to aquatic
enterprises. The United States
must have the greatest navy in
the world. In the meantime the
products of the country must be
congested for the want of trans
portation. and the people of the
great valleys must look out for
themselves to escape overflow
from the annual, freshets of the
great streams. Congress might
take q lessen from the State of
Louisiana and insugurate some
financial reforms. They might
curtail the junketing expeditions
of congressional committees and
the millions expended to crafty
the whims- of members for in
ternal improvements in order to
cater to the influences that swell
popularity for political prefer
ences. A billion dollar congress

The Passing of
Tommy See

"Tommie See is dead This
is the word that came flashing
over the wires last Monday norm
ing and the sad news flew over
this city as on the wings of wind.
And.wherever it touched it left
a gloom of sorrow, for during this
young mans sojourn here as
operator Of the G. N. depot some
two years ago he made many
friends. Since leaving this city
he has been filling a position in
the general dispatcher's office at
Breckenridge and was holding
that position up to about two
weeks ago, when he was taken
with typhoid fever and to which
disease he finally succombed at
a hospital at Breckenridge early
last Monday morning. He was a
young man of excellent habits
and fine moral character. He is
survived by his father, sister and
one younger brother, who reside
near Bathgate this state. His
mother passed away about one

City Of Mexico, Jan. 23.-The dis
puted ownership of Gulf Islands off
the Yucatan coast worth 100000 900.
gives promise of spirited legal
clash between the United States and
the Mexican governments. The heirs
of j. w. Taylor, deceased claim to
have acquired full title from Pasqual
A. Qulnan, who held the islands by
right of discovery. The Mexican gov
ernment claims that the property is
their territory.
The islands in question are the
Areas Keys, the largest of which is
one and onefourth miles long and
about three-fourths of mile wide.
They are located eighty.two miles
OF Yucatan and, while the islands
themselves are nothing more than
masses of rock. they are rich in
guano deposits. which Prof. Hadley

5000 900 tons.
History of the islands dates back
twenty-eight years to the time of

red man has no money. then what?
! suppose the state can sell his i'm
provements for same. as he is not
any better than the white man, and
should comply with the law or leave
the country. In my opinion, II the
restrictions should be removed there
would be but few red landlords in
five or ten years.
The red man has got good sense
until he Is allowed to see money.
Right then and there he becomes
unconscious and is very easily rob-
bed and after he has nothing he
Is called lazy. which Is the truth in
most cases. Who collects the rents
in the new state today? Practi.
cally, the white man. Who improves
the land today? Practically. the red
man. Who improved the land in the
beginning such as they were. dug
outs and brush fencing? The answer
IL, the white man. What for? All
the rents. Who claimed the improve
ments when the allotments began /?
The white man. Who did | say got
the rents, prior to allotment. The
white man. How did most Of the red
men get to file on their allotments? +?
Through the CRATER why could not
the red men file without the big !
am? Because the improvements were
not the red mans property. 1t be-
longed to the big am, and still
at large and in business. In my
