THE RISE OF RIGHT.

Commenting on very live issue
there is all over this county rap
idly increasing sentiment for the en-
forcement of all law is evident to all
students of current events. There
was a time not long ago when in
many sections it was regarded as i'm
possible to enforce prohibition laws,
and there was a great monied and
political influence organized to fos-
ter this opinion. That organization
is as hard at work now as ever, in
fact is desperately striving, in the
face of threatening destruction of
vast business interest, to counteract
the growing regard for the laws of
the country. Not only are liquor
laws much more rigidly enforced,
but the Sunday law is now enforced
in nearly all of the large cities, even
to the closing of Sunday theatres.
This can hardly be called religious
but it is a growing regard for the
laws. Naturally this regard for law
brings about more restrictive legis-
lation, and as consequence the pro-
hibition movement is rapidly spread
ing throughout the entire country.
The liquor manufacturers and brew
oring to make the local dealers OBJ
serve the law, knowing that the pub
lie is not in any humor to deal toll
erantly with an element that over
rides public sentiment as expressed
in the laws"

SPECIAL COTTON LETTER.

New York. Feb. 29-There is an
overwhelming short interest in July
contracts here, and Eastern and
Southern mills are very bare of cot
ness, mills will keep out of the mar
ket but they will rush to buy.
should they see steady or advancing
prices for a few days in succession,
After April. 1905 in defiance of
crop of nearly IA million bales,
prices advanced $40 a bale within
three months Last year, the lowest
point was reached in February, and
there was again an advance of SIS
a bale before July. The bulls, who
then combined to make short sellers
pay the value of cotton for their flu
ture contracts, could not have sue
ceeded in lifting prices so success
fully, had not farmers given their
powerful aid by refusing to sell, ex-
cept on sharp advances and when
mills were bidding eagerly for cot
ton
A similar opportunity for good
advance appears at hand. Mills are
short of actual cotton and somebody
is short a world of July contracts at
prices far below spot values. If farm
ers hold firm, the short sellers must
either bring cotton here and deliver
buy back their shorts, which would
cause a sharp advance in both spots
and futures.

ACROSS THE NIGHT.

Much listening through the silences,
much staring through the
night,
And 10, the dumb blind distances are
bridged with speech and
sight
Magician Thought, informed of Love
has fixed her on the air;
Yes, Love and | laughed down the
fates and clasped her here,
as there
Across the eerie distances she came
in headlong fight,
And stormed the serried silences,
and trampled space and
night.
o foolish scientists might give this
miracle name
| only care to know that when
willed it SO, she came!
And since | find the distances sub
servient to my thought,
And of the sentient silences more
vital speech have wrought,
Why. she and l shall mock Death
self, for all this Wanted
might
She'll leap whatever CULTS may be as
she leapt through the night!

Magazine for March.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

Turn on the light at Bryan and
let the people of the state who are
paying for the school understand
just what the situation is. The Her
aid can see no reason or excuse for
star chamber methods. The boys are
not fools and the statement that it
was impossible to sustain them with
out destroying discipline does not
hold water If they were right in
their contention they should be Civ
en- a square DEAL If they are wrong,
tell them so and stand by the man
agement There is a vast difference
between what is being quietly talk
ed over the state and the published
statements which emanate from the
A. and NJ. College.-Denison Herald
That is exactly the thing to do.
Turn on the light, and that quickly.
The people have right to the facts
as they are concerning the serious
trouble at the A. and VI. college,
without partially to either side OF
the controversy. If the student body
is at fault, say so. If President Har-
rington is at fault, say so, and let
the people who are paying the ex-
penses know all about it. The soon
er this is done the better it will be
for the future usefulness OF the col
lege. and the better it will be for the
state.-Fort Worth Star.

The Ada Democrat thus advises
the Oklahoma legislature: The Gig
arctic bill, the nine-foot bed sheet
bill for hotels, and a few kindred
fool measures that threatened to
bring the legislature into ridicule,
have very wisely been pigeon-holed.
1t is to be hoped that hereafter the
committees will lose no time in
puncturing these fool notions and
let the hot air escape harmlessly into
space rather than bring reproach on
the good work the legislature is real
ly accomplishing. When sanitary and
health conditions are considered it
will be very difficult to associate the
cigarette bill with fool measures.
The cigarette may be a fool meas
ure," but legislation against it is in
the interest of the public.

Flag of Truce is Hoisted in
Brownsville Affair In
til December.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10
Just when the war clouds lowered
darkest over the senate and the at
mosphere was charged with electric
currents that portended a bloody
contest between the President and
that body, Senator Foraker, who has
been leading the fight for the retsor-
alton to the military service of the
discharged negro soldiers OF the
Twenty-third infantry, yesterday ask
ed that a vote on his bill restoring
them be postponed until December
16. This suggestion was adopted
and the skies cleared.
Mr.. Foraker's proposition created
a real sensation when he sprang 1t
on the senate. He had openly made
the threat that this session Of CON
gress should not adjourn until he
had secured vote on this bill and
his colleagues were waiting for him
to begin a filibuster II this vote was
denied him. Consequently, when,
with abut brief statement OF his
reasons, he asked that the Browns
Vile matter be made the order for
December 16, the senate was taken
unawares.
Senator Culbertson, Democratic
leader. moved that vote be taken on
Saturday, but was defeated, AZ to ~.
Mr.. Foraker's motion to vote on De-
cember 16, was carried by vote Of
62 to 0.
Peace Came ut Conference.
This peace was brought about by
u conference held by the senate lead
ers yesterday at which there were
Senators Crane, Aldrlch, Kean, Hale
and Foraker. The entire matter was
canvassed in all its details and the
chances of getting a vote on the
Brownsville bill were considered. The
upshot OF the matter was that Mr..
Foraker consented not to press the
bill ut this session, but 1t is under
stood that he secured an agreement
from the senate leaders that they
would lend their assistance to the
passabe OF the bill next December.
The news OF Senator Foraker's act
lon spread quickly throughout the
capitol, and Its political significance
was the subject OF much talk. One
suggestion advanced was that he had
been promised assistance in his re-
election to the senate.
Supporters of Secretary Taft were
jubilant and construed it as sur
render on the part of Foraker and
an indication that he would not fur
