BOTH WIDE or TIE MARK.

Apparently the only way some uni
versity professors can get talked
about Is by giving utterance 10 some
very foolish and unfair views. A pro-
fessor in Chicago recently INDUCED in
an indiscriminate TRADE against wo-
men. He charged them with extrav-
agance In dress and living. with
drunkenness, immortality and a gen
eral smashing of the decalogue.
Such an attack is as senseless as
IL is false. Evidently he has fallen
into the error of thinking that the
character OF some so-called high so
ciety women who drink. gamble,
swear, dress expensiyely and look
lightly upon marriage vows reflects
the character OF the average Amer.
ican woman. II he knew more about
practical life he would not fall into
such unwarrantable blunders. Ameri.
can women as a rule are lovers OF
home, chaste, thrifty. industrious, and
good mothers who look well after
their children.
At the same time another prOies-
sor in the same city and institution
went TO the other extreme and sought
to show that a woman, even In enlight-
ened America, is but little better than
slave. He pictures her lot as one
full OF hardship. and herself an OBJ
ject OF pity. In thought he must be-
living in the Dark Ages, when much
OF what h. says was true. and not
In the enlightened twentieth century.
In truth woman has made great ad.
vance during the last century or two
in business, civil life and politics
And in the great majority Of homes
he reigns supreme. giving to the
home atmosphere the graCiOusncss,

many engage IN them. All that Is

FRANK CLARK.

A few editors delight in criticising
Congressman Frank Clark's position
ON the tariff. and never miss an OPP
portunity 20 republish matter which
they consider detrimental to his po-
litical interests.
Mr.. Clark's position on the tariff
was well.known before he was elect
ed 10 Congress for the first term, as
he proclaimed IL from the stump In
every county in the district as well
as In printed matter mailed TO every
voter. He Is for a tariff for revenue
only, but as long as revenue has to
be raised by a duty on foreign pro-
ducts imported into this country, he
believes, and Justly so, that Florida
grown cotton, fruits. vegetables. to-
baccO, etc. should receive the bene-
fit OF a protective tariff on such ar
ticle imported into this country. A
tariff on cotton imported into the
United States would be worth millions
TO the growers OF Sea Island cotton
In Georgia and Florida In the same
proportion as IL has been beneficial
TO other sections of the country on
other products. The manufacturer OF
cotton goods in this country Is pro-
tected against competition from the
same goods manufactured in England,
but the producer of the staple from
which these goods are manufactured
has 20 grow the cotton i'm competition
with the pauper labor Of Egypt, In
dia and other foreign countries. Is
there any justice in this. when iron
ore, etc, Is given the benefit of pro-
lection against foreign competition?
The corn. wheat. barley, oats. wool.
animals, and everything produced In
the West, is protected by the tariff,
but toe producer Of cotton has TO "a.

Advocates OF prohibition and local
option laws assert that the enact.
ment of such laws decreases the sale
and consumption OF liquor. and the
opponents OF such laws just as strong.
ly asset they do not All doubt upon
the question will probably be set at
rest by tie CIic.dl statement of the
treasury department. The figures
show a decrease OF between four and
ive million barrels OF beer in 1905.
That means a billion pints less liquor
drunk in 1905 than in 1907. That de-.
crease is not, perhaps, so great as
temperance reformers expected. but
IL is a very decided decrease all the
same. and one that is all the more
suggestive because OF the persistent
attempts at illegal selling and the IA.
cilities for securing liquor I'm dry ter.

NO TARIFF FOR ENGLAND.

Reports from England indicate
that country Is so well satisfied with
free trade that there is little PROSPECT
OF Joseph Chamberlain winning OUT
In his fight to re-establish protective
tariff, which was abolished in 1886.
The English Liberal leaders OF
Parliament are setting up the Ameri.
can and German tariff troubles as hor.
rible examples which should warn
England against following In their
footsteps. For a time IL appeared as
II the prOtectiOnists. under the lead
Of Mr.. Chamberlain, were gaining
ground, but IL now seems the senti-
ment Of the nation is again swinging
around in defense OF free trade, and
II Is extremely doubtful II England
will ever cOuntenance protection
again. The British people have been
enlig htened as to the benefits OF free
trade by extensive educational work
carried on by the Liberals. For in
stance, il has been pointed out, and
the contention sustained by facts.
that while wages are higher in Eng
land under free trade than In high.
protection France. Germany and other
European nations. the cost OF living
is considerably cheaper In England
than in the high-protectiOn countries:

the failure Of the farmers In.

ably be expected. is more fire.
quently due TO the farmers themselves
than TO any fault OF the institute; but
IL is not denied that institute lecturers
have not always fully measured up TO
their opportunities and responsible
ties as teachers OF practical agricui
ture. The chief cause for the failure
OF the institute system TO do the full
amount OF good possible. says The
Raleigh N. c. Progressive Farmer,
Is the well-known conservatism OF the
tillers OF the soil. or their dislike and
reluctance to change their methods
OF doing things.
Il is very much easier for all Of US
to do our work the old way in which
long practice has made US perfect;
and a new way which Is much better.
and which after practice Is also much
easier, may at first be very much
more difficult than the old way with
which we are familiar. This accounts
for the tendency to get into "ruts''
and stay there.
II the institutes are going. TO ma.
terially aid us. We must avoid the
common error of concluding that
methods which have been demon
strated as practicable and effective by
others on their farms will not also
be practical and helpful on ours. We
have repeatedly heard men state that
such and such crops would not grow
ON their farms. and later the very
same persons making these state
ments have grown these very same
crops successfully and prOfiiably We
have also frequently known Men To

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. 26.-
Wholesale indictments in connection
with Indian land suits and alleged
fraudulent town lot deals are expect
ed to be returned by the Federal
grand jury, which conyenes here to-
day in the federal jail The jury will
be under heavy guard at least one
secret service man to every juror be-
ing on the ground. The indictments
are expected to be returned against
some of the most prominent men of
this city. Governor Haskell arrived
here yesterday. In a statement he
declares that if M. l.. Mott and
Hearst do not dominate, the people
have nothing to fear in the land
suits. 1t was reported yesterday af-
ternoon that sixteen indictments al
ready had been drawn against
Haskell by United States Attorney
Gregg. The grand jury can approve
or reject the indictments. A large
mass of evidence secured by United
States secret service men will be
presented to the jury today.
The city of Muskogee and all
eastern Oklahoma is stirred over the
government action, and great un-
rest prevails. The topic of converse
ton everywhere is land suits.
Witnesses arrived here from Eas-
tern states on every train yesterday,
perhaps $50 in all, who have been
summoned to appear and give testi

land to dummies.

Houston and Texas Central railroad
trip was made to the lodges of
Fuller's earth about mile north
of town, One of these, and perhaps
the most valuable, is located in the
pasture of Mr.. C. C. Wilson, Sr., on
Grove creek This ledge is perhaps
twenty or thirty feet high and has
been exposed for years, and the quail
ity of the mineral it contains ap-
pears to be of higher quality than
the findings on the south side of the
railroad. Several small outcroppings
were seen in the neighborhood. Fur
ther up the creek on the farm of Mr.
Windham is another deposit of Full
lers earth in paying quantity. No
leases have yet been taken in this
neighborhood, but on the south side
of the railroad it is said that nearly
all the land has been leased. The
mine that is now being worked is
about one mile from the Central
tracks and about two and a half
miles from the nearest point on the
Trinity and Brazos Valley. 1t is said
the Central has been asked to con-
struct a spur out to the mine and
that the request was turned Gown by
the management. The matter has
been referred to the Trinity and
Brazos Valley and the understanding
is that the proposition is being fa-
vorably considered by that road.
This is not written for the pur-
pose of boosting prices of real es-
tate. 1t is merely presentation of
cold facts. Tie stuff is there in vast
quantities. 1t is an industry whose
development means fortune for
some one.

Opening Performance Witnessed by
Record Breaking Audience.

Houston, Texas, January 26.-
The Houston engagement of The
Traitor" which began SO auspicious-
ly here last night promises to break
all records, with possible exception
of that of "The Clansman." The new
play was received with triumphant
enthusiasm by the immense audience
which packed the large theatre from
pit to dome. In fact, so many were
crowded into the space available for
ISLANDERS that the fire officials gave
orders that the number be reduced
and nearly two hundred people were
compelled to leave the theatre,
their money being refunded. AL
though every precaution had been
taken to prevent seats from falling
into the hands of spectators that
have followed the company from
New York. they succeeded in obtain
ing some of the choice locations
which were sold out at $1,000 each.
The management with the help of
the police kept the spectators away
from the front of the theatre but
they rented a vacant store near by
where they disposed of their seats,
