TEXAS AND SOUTH MAKING GREAT STRIDES.

Texas and the Southwest is
making more families happy and
prosperous and contented than
any other section Of America.
We base our opinion on the state
ment made and issued shortly
after the adjournment Of the
National Farmers Congress
which Secretary Wilson of the
Department Of Agriculture then
declared that in no portion Of the
country is such great progress
being made in agricultural adj
yancement as has resulted from
the efforts Of that department
during the last year in Texas and
the South. In comparison with
intersections, Mr.. Wilson freely
asserts that the leadership in all
lines Of agriculture has been as
sumed by the southern states
and adds, by way of advice TO the
farmers of the Northern and
Eastern states, that the timely
aquisition of property in this
country will produce greater re-
turns financially than can be hop.
ed for in any other section of the
Union.

any country or place where men

West and Southwest are the
easiest farmed of any lands in
the United States. Il IS also a
fact and is being demonstrated
every day right in this Pandan-

three good horses can break two
hundred acres of raw land and
get it into a crop in one year.
He can do this besides attending
to the other farm work. In any
year he will get enough
produce from this land to almost
pay for the land.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS CONTRO
VERSY.

The controversy of the Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers. which has gained
national notoriety, seems to be as com
plcated as ever to one not within the
ranks of the electrical workers.
The American Federation of Labor
seems to have stepped entirely outside
its jurisdiction in the matter when it
even ventured to dictate to one faction
what it should do. The difficulties of
any international union should be set
tied by that union, and it alone Ad-
vice from the \. F. of L. would. no
doubt, have been accepted. but when
it steps in and commands certain
section of an international union that
it must obey the dictates of a set of
Officers that seems to the general mem
bership unfit to hold the positions of
trust they are in it certainly oversteps
its authority.
At the Denver convention the spirit
of the \. F. of /. seemed to be to OBJ
tain as many new members as possible
in the local unions, and to make a more
united front, sent out instructions to
all local unions to Join the central bod
les, and the Structural Building Trades,
or suffer the loss of their charter.
Now they are trying to tear down
what we have been endeavoring to
build up for SO long time The A. F.
of /. now issues instruction that unless
the central bodies unseat the militant
faction of the electrical workers. and.
by the way. as far as this city is con
cerned, one of the best local unions in
the trades union movement, we stand
suspended from the A. F. of /. and the
charter revoked
1t is pleasing indeed to see the cen
trail bodies throughout the century re
fuse to be dragged into this trouble be
tween the warning factions and the A.
F. of L. will realize that they have
made a serious mistake when it stopped
to dictate to members of an interna-
tional union what they must do. The
electrical workers are capable and
brainy enough to take care of their own
internal troubles and should be left
alone. Advice is always acceptable, and
undoubtedly would have been carefully
considered had not the A. F. of L. ar
rogantly, through some offieious indi-
vidual, tried to tell an international
union that it must not be watchful of
the upbuilding of its own organization.
It is to be hoped that this fractional
fight viii soon be settled and no other
of its kind arise The A. F of L. should
place every central union whose char
ter it has revoked, in good standing,
and instead of provoking strife and
discomfort among the ranks, should use
every effort in its power to promote
harmony and fellowship, to upbuild, not
to tear down.
Organized labor has rough roads en-
ough in its fight for the betterment
of the existing conditions without Law
ing in its own path obstacles that are
hard to surmount. Let ms try for solid.
arity and unity, above all else-Spo.

PREVENTION OF TUBERCULOSIS
AS AN INVESTMENT
Fraternal Organizations and Laboy
Unions Unite to Save
Members

Nine fraternal and benefit organiza-
tions with membership of nearly
100000, and three international labor
unions with a membership of over 100
600 have joined the ranks of the fight +
ers against consumption within the last
year, according to a statement issued
today by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis
year ago only one fraternal or
ganization. the Royal League. and one
labor union. the international Typo
graphical Union, maintained institutions
for the treatment of their tuberculous
members. Since january LIST. 1900, the
following fraternal and benefit or
CARNATIONS have taken up the consider
alton of tuberculosis, and in most in
stances have decided to erect institu-
tions; Brotherhood of American Yeo-
men, Order of Eagles. Improved Order
of Red Men, Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea, Knights of Pythias, Royal Area
mum, Workmen's Circle, Knights of Co
lumbus, and Foresters of America The
international labor unions which have
joined the fight against tuberculosis are
the international Photo Engravers'
Union of North America, the Tnterna-
tional Printing Pressmen and Assist
ants Union, and the International Boot
and Shoe Workers Union.
The Modern Woodmen and the
Knights of Pythias have already opened
sanatoria for their members who have
tuberculosis at Colorado Springs. and
East Las Vegas. New Mexico. The
Workmen's Circle is about to erect a
similar institution at Liberty, n. y. The
Royal League has maintained Il sana-
forum at Black Mountain, y. c.. for
three years. The other fraternal Or
ganization mentioned have either APP
pointed commissions to consider the ad
visibility of erecting tuberculosis sana
toria, or are contemplating such action.
The first sanatorium to he erected
for the benefit of the laboring men was
built by the International Topographic
cal Union in connection with its home
at Colorado Springs. The International
Union have recently decided to erect a
| similar sanatorium, and steps are now
being taken to open such an institution.
The International Photo Engravers'
Union, while not conducting sana-
forum of its own, pays for the treat
ment of its tuberculous members in in
stitutions in various parts of the coun
try. The International Boot and Shoe
Workers Union are recommending to
their members that they ally them
selves with the various organizations
united in the fight against tuberculosis.
All of these fraternal organizations,
and labor unions are also carrying on
campaigns of education among their
members. In this way over 3,O00.000
men and women are receiving instruc
lions through lectures, through official
papers, and by literature expressly pre-
pared showing the dangers and methods
of prevention of tuberculosis.
1t is a campaign of prevention which
will bring to these various fraternal
and benefit organizations millions of
dollars in the saving of lives ana the
cutting down of payments for sickness
and death resulting from tuberculosis.
The recent National Fraternal Con
gress estimated that so per cent of
