The Unemployed and the EIection.


 Houston Chronicle.
 In a recent editorial printed in the New York Times, MT. B. F. Yoakum. a native Texan railroad magnate of nationalsSmportance whose opinion Is respected Wherever he Is known, which Is all over the country, declar- es that since the period of financial depression which set in last fall the means of living have been cut off 400,- 900 of the 1,675.000 railroad employ es in this country.
 He estimates the loss to them in wages is $1.2oo,00o daily. or s25.ooo,- 900 a month.
 With their families these 400. 900 un- employed railroad men aggregate about 1,900,000 persons. These men belong to the saving classes, but their savings are rapidly exhausted, being spent upon necessities.
 And 1t Is to be remembered that these railroad men are not the only ones out of work. Other industries have laid off men and while to help the Taft machine the magnates have to some extent artificially boomed tn- dustry, starting their plants and with the same end in view the government has interested itself to some extent through the department of commerce and labor. as it ought to have done long ago, the army of unemployed in this country today is so large as to be a source of serious apprehension to the least timid.
 T have been asked" says MT. Yoa- kun, how the railroad men will vote in November. Frankly. do not know, but I believe I know of what they are thinking. They are thInkingl of the next winters fuel. clothing bills, and keeping their children in school. They are wondering what will be done to remedy the present in- dustriaI conditions and stop the ap- pailing loss from enforced idleness."
 Certainly. they ought to vote tho dtmocratic ticket. The panic was republican panic. For over q decade the so-called party of prosperity" had been in power. We had been assured that the "principle' of protection was sound and of the beneficence of the good trusts. Mir. Roosevelt himself Is on record as saying that his party's appeal to the country in one congres- sionaI election was an appeal for a chance to be allowed to make good" The republican party did not make good" and the suffering of the unem- ployed is due to that blame-worthy failure.

WHAT'S THE MArrERt

Boston and its environs seems to be trying to get into the class of the wild West in its wooliiest days. As to that matter much of Massachusetts is fast reaching the same condition. Almost every paper we see from there contains accounts of crimes of about all kinds. some of them of the most reyolting nature, and the iawlessness Is increasing at rate that is alarm ing to good citizens. They condemn it and regret 1t. but seem unable to stop 1t.
 What has come over the once quiet and peaceful Bay State? Has the na- ture of the people changed from what it once was. or how are we to &C., count for the wave of crime" that seems to be surging over the State? One explanation given by the news papers is that this increasing Iawless- ness Is attributable to the influx of foreigners from all countries who have come into the State in recent years. Many of these are criminals to begin with. and thousands of others are without employment and resort to criminality as a last refuge from want.
 No doubt this explanation Is good to a certain extent. For various req sons. iargS per centage of the im- migrants who come over to the United States stop in the large cities of the middle and New England States. If not already of the criminal class there are many who fail to ind honest em- pioyment and find that crime or star vation is staring them in the face. and are too weak to resist the former. Whatever may be the explanation. the fact is patent to all who read the pa- pers. Of late the Boston papers are about as full of criminal news as are those of any city in the Union. Is 1t not time that a remedy should be found?

 Ed. Luvsrns Journal.
 II am looking for the farmer who sail. leo pounds of nitrogen for SIP and then three and three-quarter tona sysr.~. Ir-. grade fertilizer for sas . ton before hs re,. as much nitrogen as he sold in one ton of cotton seed. NA
 said last week. there were 1so pounas nitrogen in . ton of seed and this sTnount or nitrogen is worth in the market IS cents per pound-&s2. 50 and that a ton of Sor. tiiiser contains forty pounds Aitroren. worth So The farmer who sells seed foy tiS per ton. loses on each ton he sells a net loss Of si0.s0 on the nitrogen alone con tained in the ton. to say nothing about tnsNsins or the phosphate and potash con- eainod in the ton of seed.
 A careful study of the facts herein stat cd. may be found the reason why there are so many poverty stricken farmers in thia fertile land of ours.
 The lack of agricultural information is the main reason why farmers part with their products at loss They are largely unaeauainted with their real worth.
 So long as the farmers sell the cream of the soil far below its real value, the skim med milk will be of little value in the way of building up the run down farms.
 will repeat again, what have often said, wis; ton of seed is worth more to the farmer as fertilizer than 6 ton of av- erase commercial fertilizer. One can be purchased for s13 or SIS per ton, while the other costs from $2o to s23.5o per ton.
 The farmer who sells seed at present prices loses anywhere from s1o to SIS per ton on every ton sold. Question: How long will 1t take for farmer to get on to e cash basis following this method of it. nsncing? Cotton today is at least S15 to SEQ per bale below a fair price, and cotton seed selling at an actual loss of from SIS to 114.
 When will the farmers sec the situation as 1t isf Every cent of profit Is being talk en away from him.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Drug, PcsIam, Now obtninabie fn
 Small ouantftfes.

New Drug, Posram, Now 0btainable fn
 Small Quantities.
 Since it's discovery one year ago the new drug. posiam. has successfully cur ed thousands of chronic cases of ecze- ma and other distressing skin affltc- tions. Heretofore posiam has been dis pensed solely for the benefit of ecxe- ma patients in large jars sufficient for . months treatment. This Was found to be an inconvenience to many thou- sands who use 1t for minor skin troub- les. such as pimples. blackheads. herpes. acne, scaly scalp. complexion blemfshes. itching feet piles, etc. which require but small quantity to cure. To over come this. and in response to urgent appeals. the dispensers of polsam have been obliged to adopt, in addition to the regular two-dollar package. a spe- cial ffty-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at D. c. Fowier's and other leading drugstores in Mont gomery, or may be ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 18th street. New York City. In all eczema cases poslam stops itching with first application. and proceeds to heal immediately; chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious skin troubles. results are seen after an overnight application.
 Samples for experimental purposes may still be had. free of charge. by writing to the laboratories for them.

From 1899 to 1903 he was assistant chemist of the Norh Carolina Asricul. tural Experiment Station. Since 1908 he has been identified with chemistry work at the Texas Experiment Sta- tion and has also been the State Chem- fist of Texas. His chief claim to fame. however, rests on his researches in the chemistry of soils. on which sub. jects he has written several books and papers that have attracted widespread attention in scientific circles.
