LIMIT IS PUT ON.
No New Bills in Senate After p m.
Today.

After o'clock this evening no more
new bills will be introduced in the
senate. except such as come from
committees. The bars were shut
ton No. 3 was brought up this morn
ing. The time for ceasing had been
fixed by this resolution for IL O'Clock,
noon, January Is. The senate was
loath to surrender i,s privilege and
delayed action until the last minute.
Noftzger fought any immediate
restriction Of SENATOR rights in
this respect. on the ground that much
legislation for which the people had
demanded this extraordinary session
had not yet been considered, includ-
ing the banking law, which had not
been taken up at all; the primary
bill, work on which is not completed,
and other matters He would have
restriction delayed until all these
things had been disposed Of
Waggener moved that the time for
cutting off Introduction of new bills
cepted an amendment placing the
hour at 6 p. m. Young asked for an
additional days time. Fitzpatrick
said the people didn expect the work
of a regular session at this time.
Noftzger declared the opposition
came from the bankers, who were
riding roughshod over the people.
Senator Waggener's motion finally
prevailed and the limitation will be
in effect at p. m.
The senators found no trouble in
viding for the expenses of the special
session. Miller introduced senate
bill No. 100, from the ways and means
committee, and 1t went through with
rush. It provides for the appropria-
ton of $4,000 to pay the per diem
and mileage of officers and members
Of both houses, with the addition of
$40 to each senator and SIS to each
&member of the house for postage.
The bill was passed Immediately un-
der suspension of the rules, an emerg-
ency being declared.
The legislative grind was checked
long enough to listen to a communica-
ton from a local photographer, said
to be the official photographer of the
Santa F'e, who wanted to get picture
of the senate, grouped on the north
steps Of the capitol, and suggested
1910 p. m, as favorable hour. On
motion of Dolley the senate agreed to
assemble at the time and place
designated by the artist, Smith stipu-
lating that the picture should not be
printed on postal cards, in which he
said he had had a painful experience
and one not to be repeated, with his
consent.
The committee on way, judiciary
and military affairs reported back a
long list of bills. with recommended
toin for the passage or rejection of
each.

CONGRATULATIONS TALK.

The editor feels very grateful
to the people Of the city WHOM
expressed 50 many kind words
in appreciation Of his effort last
week to make the initial paper
under his management a good
one. 1t takes work to get out
a good, hustling, local paper and
words Of appreciation make a de-
serving man hustle more than
ever. Our paper was eight
pages. all home print, and out
side one siX-line paragraph and
the advertisements. every bit Of
our space was filed with reading,
local in nature, which would be
of interest to any one in any way
interested in the county.
We do not think it behooyes a
county newspaper to take part
in national politics, leaving such
matters to the daily papers, and
the editor further thinks that the
dishing into local politics and
taking sides on religious matters
ONLY tends TO cause strife among
the local people, whom it is the
province Of the paper 10 try and

is going 10 stay clear Of political

Hall of Vernon to have incOrpor-
ated in the Democratic platform
provision recommending that
the Palo Duro Canyon be
turned over to the Federal Gov
eminent for national park to
the end that Its natural beauties
may be preserved. said :
l am of the opinion that the
state of Texas should not permit
the Federal Government to Sc
cure more land in the state than
it is entitled to under the consti-
tuition and that provides that it
shall have only enough for its
military purposes. | think, if
there are to be any parks, the
state of Texas is wealthy enough
to provide them, and if the beau
ties of Palo Duro Canyon are
such that they should be pre-
served, the state should look to
it and not permit the Federal
Government to encroach upon
its territory
Mr.. McNealus said that he had
always admired the state of
Texas for refusing to permit the
Federal Government to acquire
any large amount Of its public
domain when it came into the
Union.
1t seems that the last legisla-
ture of the state was better in
formed on the Palo DurO ques-
tion than was the Democratic
convention at San Antonio. \

no park at all, but it seems to
this editor. who knows the prop
osition fairly well. that the state
of Texas would be tackling a
proposition if it undertook the
development Of this park. Not
that the state is not capable of
overcoming huge things, but
that the Canyon must and will
become of national interest and
for this reason would require a
greater amount Of expenditure
than should be demanded of the
single state for the bene-
fit of the national citizens. If
Mr.. McNealus will form an eX-
petition of some Of the state
park adherents and will pay the
Palo Duro a visit. they will 90

PLAINS LAND.
selves

Occasionally we hear it said by
persons who are looking for 81
and s. land in this section of the
country. that Plains land is too
high" This expression may be
true or it may not. lfthey mean
to speak of the relative value of
the Plains lands as compared
with other sections of the state.
considering the producing pow
er of the two, then the Plains
land is not half high enough. In
the first place there is no other
section of the state that will com
pare with this in the amount and
percentage of good land. In the
second place there is no part of
Texas that can excel the Plains
in produce with the same amount
Of rainfall; and there are but
few. if any, that have the record
for uniform and regular crops
that the Plains country boasts
of. If we are to Judge the fu-
ture by the past, there is no
more liability of a crop failure
here than in any other portion of
Texas. for Briscoe county boasts
Of not having had a single. crop
failure within ten years. We
may have them in the future, bat
this should be convincing evil
dence that We are not in a
drouthy area.
If the parties who say that
this land is too high, mean that
its value is TOO high for them to
get it for trihe as has been the
case here. then they are right;
but the man who waits for the
land 10 decline in price before
buying him a home is going TO be
without a home when others are
enjoying comfortable homes in a
delightful country and farming
land valued at so per acre. The
day has passed for this land to
be sold for - per acre, and the
sooner those seeking homes real
ize that the experimental stage
of farming has passed here, the
better it will be for them. Now
is your chance to get cheap land.

DRAMATIC READING OF
JOB BEFORE COLLEGE CLUB

of all the worlds. puts to the test the
question whether there be disinterested
human Righteousness. real faith in
God, by permitting the spirit of the
Earth to visit upon one God-fearing
man all human ills except death. Job,
an Arab Sheik of vast wealth and
princely life. by human violence and
by a series of natural catastrophies, is
swept bare of all his possessions, Of
his social honors, his children. and
once the greatest of Arab princes, now
he sits without the walls of the little
village that chung to the skirts of his
great home, a leper. To his wife,
whom his disease has utterly crushed,
he can still speak of faith in God in
words of almost more than human
dignity. To him come his three friends,
princes and sheiks from afar. This
ends the prologue.
The main argument follows as the
three expound the very fundamental of
their patriarchal faith, that God re-
wards the righteous with prosperity
and Furnishes the wicked with adver-
sity. With increasing vehemence, they
urge repentance of sins they assume
Job must have committed Conscious
of his own integrity, Job confronts
their theory with the better facts, and
from their conception of God struggles
to lay hold on the Eternal Justice. But
all this discussion is not in philosophic
calm, but in the white heat of suffer-
ing human hearts, and the argument
is broken by lyric outburts, such as
Jobs wonderful lament, 20 That I
Were as in the days of Old" and by
description of God in nature and hui
man institutions. Before the torrent
of Jobs bitterness and the truth of
his picture of human inequalities. his
three older friends are silenced. After
,his solemn Oath of Innocence under
the accusation of his friends, come the
words of Elihu, a young man, who
voices substantially the same belief as
his elders. In the structure of the
drama his lines serve to describe the
approaching storm from which God
speaks. God reads Job no answer to
his private riddle of the universe, but
from the fever of his pain sends him
to nature. that he may know his own
life is but a part of the larger mystery
which yet is Gods world.
The epilogue brings out the final vim
dication of Job, and shows the God of
Job to be forever the God of the man
who would see life steadily and see it
whole
The restoration of Job to more than
his former prosperity rounds out the
drama to it's ripe fulness and leaves
him in the glow of patriarchal peace.

The Book of Job, one of the greatest
of the worlds dramas, was formerly
held to antedate all other Biblical liter
allure, but the newer criticism places
its unknown author as late as Sopho-
Giles. 1t stands supreme among the
pictures of an older world, with its
large and stately leisure, its worship of
God, untouched by priesthood or dog
ma.
From such q past and such a calm,
it comes to the reader with something
of a shock to hear those same passion
ate protests which today well up in
many a heart before the darker ex-
periences of life. For the problem of
Job is the problem of human suffering
and it's appeal is universal.
The play falls into three divisions
prologue, main action, or rather argu-
ment, and epilogue. In the first, God,

tween those living here and those on
the mainland. AS a matter of fact,
the Chinese are the same class of Chi
nese, coming largely from the same
locality; but the family life has had
much to do with the true development
of the Chinese in these islands. If, in
the future, the Chinese should be al
lowed to come to these islands in lim-
tied numbers, they should be encour-
aged to bring their wives and their
families. No country can really pros
per that makes any laws to destroy
family life. In seeking to develop the
Hawaiian Islands along the line of
American ideals, the matter of the
family life must be carefully consid-
cred. The young people of these ISL
ands who have been reared in Chinese
families and who have received an
American education in the public
schools are proving themselves able to
become true American citizens.
HAWAITS EXPERIMENT.
Hawaii should be the great expert
mental station of America. Here are
gathered the people of many nations
and they come in touch, for the first
time, with this outpost of Americas
Christian civilization. What is to be
the effect of this contact if it is made
in a friendly spirit and on the basis
of the true brotherhood of mankind I?
The effect will be real benefit to both
the East and the West. The fact that
for many years the Hawaiian Govern
ment and the Hawaiian people have
treated the Chinese with a spirit of
justice and kindly consideration, has
had much to do with the development
of the Chinese now here. 1t is now
Americas opportunity to experiment,
and with her splendid educational sys-
j tenn aid and develop those who may
come from the great empire of China.
To permit a few more Chinese to come
make more valuable this important ex-
perimental station.
PRESENT CONDITIONS.
Today there are probably not twenty
thousand Chinese in tie Hawaiian
, Islands. Many of the older Chinese
are returning to their own country
which will constantly decrease the
numbers here. A large part of this
number are young children, so that
the available Chinese labor supply of
Hawaii is not over 5000 men. When
, one considers the fact that there are
between $4,000 and 10000 Japanese in
the islands, ii is easy to see that a
larger proportion of Chinese would be
of real benefit. We hear considerable
today of Hawaii diversified industries.
The Chinese can largely aid in the
continuance of these industries on
the sugar plantations the Chinese are
considered by all to be among the very
best class of labor. In the work of
rice planting the Chinese are practi-
cally the only ones who can do this
arduous work. They help in the Gull
ture of the banana and in setting out
OF the millions of pineapple plants that
need attention every year They are
industrious, obedient to their employ
ers, law-abiding, and thrifty. If al
lowed here in limited numbers. they
can only be a real benefit to this Amer
/ lean Territory.
