STATE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULT TURE
VISITS CANYON CITY LAST FRIDAY.
Interesting Mass Meeting Held for Formation
Of Agricultural Club Crowded
House at Meeting.

on Wednesday afternoon of last
week, a crowded house of peo-
pie were present at the Court
house last Friday morning at
1890 o'clock to hear the Hon.
Ed K. Kone, State Commissioner
of Agriculture, Tom Frazier, one
of the leading hog breeders and
raisers Of the south, and Uncle
Dick Bonner, pioneer in ag-
ricultural matters of this state.
a large committee of citizens
met these people at the depot
upon their arrival and took the
distinguished men for an auto
ride over the city after which
they were taken to the court
room for the meeting. Each
speaker was accorded a hearty
welcome and his remarks were
heartily applauded. Because of
the fact that an appointment for
them had been made at A marillo
at . o'clock the addresses were
necessarily short and in this the
crowd was disappointed for the
assembled people would have
much liked to have heard longer
talks from each speaker.
Col. Kone was the first speak
or and he devoted his remarks
principally to the agricultural
development and possibilities of
the Plains country paying IA
glowing tribute TO the advance
ment of this section of the state.
His purpose was to organize the
farmers of the state into county
institutes where they might
meet and hear discussed the
different matters and the re-
ports of the various experiment
tai stations and the people who
conduct them.
Mr.. Frazier, a man who has
become widely known on account
of his great experience in hog
raising and whose slogan is
Raise red hogs and smile" was
then called upon and he spoke
for a short time upon the posi-
bilities of this country as a meat
producing area predicting that
in a few years the markets of
the world would turn to the
Panhandle for its hogs. He
likewise was well impressed
with the development and stated
that of all portions of the state
and the entire south, the Pan
handle offered the best scope of
territory in which to raise the
hogs.
Mr.. Bonner was the last
speaker and he devoted his re
marks principally to the farm
ers and the younger people try
ing to inStill into them the in
tereSt in their agricultural edu-
cation. During his speach the
institute was organized with "a
members, II. G.. McNiel being
elected president, f. w. Rey-
noldS, vice president and R. a.
Terrill as secretary.
After the meeting was over an
informal luncheon was rendered
the people at one of the local
hotels, after which they were
rushed to Amarillo in autos in
order'to meet their appointment
there.
During the time that they
were in this city they were
elected as life honorary mem
bers to the local commercial
club.
The people of Randall county
were more than pleased at the
opportunity of hearing these
gentlemen but were sorry that
they could not spare a longer
time in order that they might
be shown" something of the
development of the country and

KEEPING IN STEP.

The greatest burden upon the people
of this enlightened age Is prepared
ness-to be ready to meet any and
every rapacious foe In which all strong
and rich nations are classed as sus-
poets. It does not take great naval
fleets to prey upon the weak nations,
but they are required to hold at bay
the, fighting, nations. The naval COM
petition between England and Ger
many has prompted France to increase
her navy by the addition of twelve
Dreadnoughts in the next ten years,
which means an expense of over $780,
100000. This preparedness takes its
rise in distrust, and the burdened ma
lions of this twentieth century are
showing the cost of fear as never be-
fore. France has now three dozen
,.battleships in commission and on the
ways, but some of them are so old in
pattern and equipment that it Is not
expected that the French navy win
comprise more than IS fighting ships
when these Dreadnoughts are COM
pleted in 1919. This preparedness
means at last a great conhict, great
destruction of property and life, an
awakening crash. An exchange says
for truth IF the acquiescence Of the
taxpayers Of the world In these vast
building programmes is the test, the
burden will continue popular until it
brings about a sudden crash. Then
the patient taxpayer will suddenly turn
angry and blame everybody but him
self for his predicament. Militarism
has gone to sea, where its exactions
are less obvious than on land, and to
that element it will transfer it's Won

They Voted Against New ENGLAND.

Senator Hale of Maine went on rec
ord this week against New England
interests, and against Maine interests.
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
voted against the interests of his
state. The Rhode Island and the Con-
necticut senators voted against the
interests of their states. They are de-
Tended as voting for principle" but
they voted Loyalty and with animation
for duty which is known to be in the
interests of the Chicago beef trust
They voted with a number of demo-
Gratis for proposition which denies
the basic principles of protection and
makes the tariff a mere sop to a big
and greedy trust, that wishes to get
its clutches on an Independent indus
try. 1t is hard to. believe that they
understand the intensity of feeling in
New England against the beef trusts
admitted plans for driving all inde-
pendent shoe manufacturers out Of
business 1t is hard to believe that
they realize what harm they have
done to the republican party by put
ting 1t in so subservient a position as
regards the trusts schemes.
President Taft promised that the
tariff revision enacted by this con-
gress should be a revision downward.
Aldrich, BFandegee, Buckley, CALM

to have the last election a republican
victory, but they evidently have no
intention Of trying to keep the prom
ises by which that republican victory
was Won.-.BoSton Advertiser.

Two young women, daughters of men

tory. figure in the days news as bene-
factors of their kind in ways that mod
ern philanthropy recommends as being
the most effectual in accomplishing de-
sirable ends. Miss Frick provides a
farm in the beautiful section of country
where Wenham lies, for the purpose of
entertaining orphan children of Boston
and its vicinity, giving them a glimpse
of nature at its best while the farm
life helps them to health and strength.
Miss Hartman, the other young wom-
an who knows of the worlds needs and
wants to relieve them, has presented a
ferryboat to the Brooklyn committee on
the prevention of tuberculosis, to be
used as day camp for sufferers who
are not able to get out of town. Ham

veniences for sleeping in the open air
will be provided for the accommodation
Of three hundred men, women and chill

meals repasts of eggs and milk will be
served to the people aboard while they
are receiving the benefit of cool bay
breezes. There will be besides an open
air school for children who have been
kept away from school during the term

such ways-Boston Transcript.

DISHONESTY A WEAK FOUNDA
TON.

The disclosure of the success of the
big trusts in extorting money from the
public and cheating the government
out Of millions looks like success, but
it is not excepting in the most tempo
rary sense. Dishonesty has no solid
foundation its achievements are
clearly Of a vicious character. The
Toledo Blade, pointing to the popular
corruptipg practices Of this age, says:
THE purchase of legislators only
made the purchasing corporation the
slave and the source of revenue of the
political gray wolves. Franchise thiev-
cries have reacted not only upon the
thieves, but have harassed and cursed
the lives Of every public utility con-
Germ, coed or bad. The unlawful buy
ing of police protection by the saloons
has given the temperance forces a
Avoidance Of building inspection laws
has been paid for thousand times
with ruin and death and unending
sorrow. High finance, corruption of
law makers, tricksters of all kinds,
bring only temporary success. Bust
ness and the moral law cannot be
separated Dishonesty is the poorest
policy in the world"
This is all true. The spiritual re-
action Of such dishonest practices up
on those engaged is terrible, and it
lasts till the last wrong has been re-
Quilted. Does it pay? Not from any
rational point Of view man can
take.

PROTECTION To.MINERs.

Every mine horrorsshows more and
more emphatically that the solicitude
of President Roosevelt for the mine
workers Of this country was warrant
ed, and also that there is an indiffer-
ence to nfs endeavor in high places
which is a disgrace to the nation.
The mine owners of this country
should be ashamed to even appear to
hold human life so cheap or to be
willing to impose upon men compelled
10 work for their daily bread the per-
lis which are largely preventable, II
the lack of accidents in the mines Of
other countries are to be accepted as
evidences of attainment in this direc-
ton.
The government has made gen
erous appropriation for the investiga-
aion Of these subterranean death traps,
nut It does not appear that much good
has come Of it. AS the matter stands
today, labor blames the owners, the
owners charge the workmen with
carelessness and contributory RESPONSE
bility, the foreign experts make rec
concentrations which, if accepted, are
not used, and members Of the federal
survey and others make reports which
are pfgeonholed. What the matter is
does not appear, but the horrors go
on repeating themselves with shocking
frequency

A SOUTHERN ESTIMATE OF HoKE
SMITH,

The Charleston News and Courier
takes occasion to say that ''our cousin,
Hoke Smith, Is messing up things in
Georgia Just before leaving the office
of governor, in the administration of
which he has really not achieved much
distinction except of a regrettable sort.
In his message to the legislature the
other day be empta sized his antag-
onism to the education of the colored
children"
The News and Courier does not feel
proud of its relative in his stand for
the promotion of ignorance among the
blacks, and says: The only explana-
ton we can make Of Mr. Smiths an
tagonism to the negro is that his New
England blood has obtained the mas
terry over his southern instincts-for
we know Of no true southern man who
has ever had any but the most gen.
erous thought for THESE hopeless peo-
pie. When he was dying, Wade Hamp-
ton said: God bless all my people,
white and blacki'
"Mr. Smith has not panned out very
we'll as governor of Georgia, Clark
Howell would have made a better gov
ernor. That he got into ONCE by a
huke appears to be very clear in view
of the fact that he was put out of
Office by Joseph M. Brown, the least
likely of the gubernatoriaI timber in
Georgia, as many persons thought"
There is vast difference in south
erners and in northereners with re-
gard to the negro both north and
south, but the just man is the same

so much a matter Of locality as most
people think.

ton will accomplish all that was the
ostensible purpose of the author of the
physical test requirement. Of course
it will fail largely to achieve the
elimination which General Barry has
identified as the principal result of the
existing order.
When it is taken into consideration
that the active list of the army, navy
and marine corps has lost some good
officers who are capable of rendering
valuable service to their country and
when 1t is appreciated that the cost
of this sacrifice, represented by the
expenditures for mileage in the travel
of officers to places where the physical
tests are conducted, it will be recog-
nized by congress. for instance, that
the price of this exploited increase Of
military naval efficiency is out of all
reason. The physical test order should
be modified into document of value
and so deprived Of its present harmful
exactions.-Army and Navy Register.

Army Physical lasts.

Major General Leonard Wood has
issued an order from the headquarters
OF the department of the east, which
presents a valuable suggestion to the
president in the greatly needed amend
ment to the so-ealled physical test re-
quirement imposed upon certain army
ofhcers and inflicted upon all members
of the naval commission and warrant
ed personnel. He has prescribed a Sc
ries of physical exercises consisting of
l0-nlile walk or a 15-nile horseback
ride three days week, or the equiv

and elastic term, it is true, but sufficient
for the purpose desired--that of keep
ing officers in good physical condition.

is not, and will not be any question

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Cause for Much Regret.


Mr.. Editor:--In references to a des-
patch which appeared in your issue
of June 23d, quoting from an address
by DR.. pieffenbach given before the
National eSociety of Psychical Thera-
peutics, permit me to say a few words.
1t is surely cause for much regret
that in this age of enlightenment and
religious freedom there should still re-
main a few individuals who seem to
believe that 1t is their special privi-
lege to refer to the religious beliefs of
others in terms and epithets of con-
demnation and intolerance. And it is
cause for further regret that this
practice is usually INDUCED in by those
who have had the benefits of higher
education and who should manifest the
most charity and tolerance toward
those who differ from them in belief
or whose religion they do not under
stand
That there is no such thing as Ed
dyism" is too apparent to require COM
ment
Rev Mary Baker Eddy discovered
and brought to this age the Christ
healing so long lost to practical appli-
cation and named her discovery Chris
tian Science: Christian Science there
fore has nothing in common with the
Emanuel movement or mental sugges-
ton, but it's principle is Numerically
opposite.
Christian Science has been adopted
by and Is claiming the attention of
thousands of individuals of culture
and refinement and these accord that
liberty to others which they claim for
themselves; to wit, the right to wor-
ship God after the dictates of their
own conscience.

DUB PHOTOGRAPHS.

The camera fiend is a modern an
noyer of the people and the license
which he takes in snap-shotting pub
lic men and private citizens has led
to many suits at law for the estab-
lishment of the right of the individual
to privacy and the control of his own
image 1t has not brought forth sat
isfactory results. A case was recent
ly tried before Chief Justice Dubois
Of the Rhode Island supreme court at
Providence. The plaintiff brought suit
for the invasion of his right Of privacy
against a clothing house, which had
published his picture in an advertise
rnent over the announcement: THE
auto coats made by the above autoists
are waterproof. Made of fine silk mo-
hair In four colors." Damages to the
amount of a thousand dollars were
claimed and on trial before the su-
perior court legal questions of such
doubt were waived, that it was decided
70 certify them to the superior court
for determination before proceeding
farther. The two questions submitted
were: Has a person at common law
right designated as a right of pri-
vacy for the invasion ofswhich an ac-
ton for damage lies" and rs the I'M
warranted publication of a persons
photograph for advertising purposes
actionable at common law where the
only injury is that of mental suffer-
ing
Judge Dubois declared the inability
Of his court to discover the existence
Of the right Of privacy contended for.
and answered both questions in the
negative.
If there is no law against such prac-
tees it is quite likely that there will
be. The fact that man is the archi-
tect Of his. own career seems to wilt
in the face of decision that he has
no exclusive right to his own image.

Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist, declares that dandrufr IS the
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp. caused
by parasites destroying the vitality in
the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless,
and, in time, falls out. This can be pre-
vented.
