period of antagonism into an era or
sober thought and fair dealing with
each other. Therefore. let each state
the south and southwest, take up in
development of our unbounded and
I'nequalled resources, and push them
forward; and ask that our public
speakers and representatives bear in
mind that the south and southwest are
entitled to the same recognition from
the federal government as is extended
to the northwest. where both political
influence and closer sympathy with
financial interests have co-operated in
developing it's resources.
with modern means of transporta-
ton and communication, Texas is
closer to Washington than Philadel-
phia was 100 years ago, and there is
no political obstacle in the way of the

Military Extravaganza.
Increasing governmental expenses
and political and military extravaganza
are leading US to the condition of for
tign nations. Every farmer is interest
ed in correcting this, and if every
farmer would write to his representa-
tive in congress to encourage develop
n1ent and discourage extravaganza. no
more effective or better work could be
accomplished.
statistics show that in 1900 there
were five and one-half million farm
owners and people engaged in farming
pursuits, an increase in 20 years Of
only 33 per cent Figuring on a pro-
portionate increase from 1900 to date,
we now have about six and one-half
million farmers, an increase of SO per
cent in the last thirty years. There
are now 465 thousand government en-
r1oyes, an increase in 80 years of over
200 per cent, or, in other words, the
number of government employees is in
creasing more than four times as
rapidly as the number of farmers If
the same ratio of increase continues, it
will be but few generations until we
have as many government employees as
farmers
1.-THE strength of our nation lies in
cur agricultural wealth and natural re-
sources. The country west of the great
lakes and the Mississippi is the bread
basket of the world. History shows
that military forces and battleships
have not won the wars of the world.

MANY A SLIP
TWIXT CUP AND LIP

To scheme and worn for an hour
TO get a bottle of whiskey and then
to lose it all, such was the hard luck
that befell two husky redskins of the
reservation today.
1t was about 2 o'clock this after
noon when this sad mishap occurred.
Two stalwart subjects of Major Nc
Partridge were seen strolling slowly
out Webb street away from Main.
their wobbly progress indicated they
had already partaken Of much fire
water, and the suspicious glances
they cast about them showed they
were on the trail of further supply.
In front of the Martin building the
two stopped, After steadying each
other for moment and glancing eau
tiously about, one Indian reached in
to an inner pocket and drew forth
therefrom a flask of whiskey. But
alas his hand was shakey and the
flask dropped to the sidewalk with
a crash.
Withot glancing backward and
without sign to show their disap-
pointment the two bucks moved on
up the street, making desperate eff
fcrts to look unconcerned.

THREE INDIAN DRUNKS
IN POLICE COURT

Three Indians who managed to Sc
cure some kind of a jag, yesterday
and last night, appeared before Judge
Fitz Gerald this morning. They were
Big Jim, Simon Whitman and Harry
Lupers, but whether their condition
was caused from looking upon near
beer when it was red or whether it
was due to vanilla or lemon extract
was not for the judge to say.
The usual sentence OF S5 or three
days was pronounced. Big Jim and
Whitney were able to liquidate, while
Lupers is languishing in the city bas-
tile.

be from Sis a. m. to 9:15 a. m., and

corner of Eighteenth and U streets,

telling some kids OF the same age all
about the election of Taft, says cor.
respondent. Recognizing a line of in.
tangibly familiar allow.
ing for the linguistic limitations OF
a seven-year-old citizen-to-be, stopped
to listen. Finally the bright little kid
wound up his remarks and said, with
a marvelously superior air:
Say, why don't you know my daddy
elected Taft?"
And what is your daddy's name %
asked a benevolent-looking old gentle
man who had heard the wind-up.

stopped running and everybody went

A Meman,a Anathx.

1t is unquestionably true that one OF
the greatest obstacles in the woman's
path of industrial progress has been
her own apathy. She is reproached by
the men in her trade for her lack of
interest In trade unionism; she is re-
preached by the philanthropist for her
lack Of ambition-her seeming willing
ness to remain unskilled and under
paid. But in this new movement for
the franchise, we have the women who
are already in the ranks of the skilled
workers, and who have long since
proved their capacity for organization
taking another great step forward.
They have at last learned that their
industrial regeneration can come only
through their own efforts and the i'm
portance of this new spirit of indie
pendence, this enlarging Of the work
ing woman's sphere of activity to de-
mand voice in the laws that regu.
late her TOLL" would be difficult to
verestimate.-Edith Abbott in Sep

The seIf-Educated Woman,

One of the first things she must

herself. Every business man knows
that the higher he rises the greater
must be the number of his assistants.

private soldier attends to his own at.
fairs himself, but the captain EN-.
ploys an orderly, and the general has
an entire staff to do his bidding.
Many women have not learned this
lesson. They are so anxious to do
their duty in all respects that they
try to perform the tasks of general
and private soldier at the same time
"A thing manifestly impossible.
