while attending the recent confer
ence, at Fort Worth, of how much
more appropriate it would have been
to have spent the four or five thou
sand dollars, that the conference cost
the farmers of Texas, to correct a
mistake made by it's official heads, to
have used it for the erection of a
marble shaft, marking the birthplace
in Raines County, and the birthplace
in Lampasses County, of the two
greatest farmers organizations that
have ever blessed civilization, then
when any of us became too much i'm
pressed with the Importance of our
own ideas that run counter to the
cardinal principles of the two insti-
buttons, we could give them a vaca-
ton, and let them visit one of those
monuments, and absorb the true
spirit that underlies this contest.
The first circular sent out to the To-
calls to surrender by seeding, and
thereby escaping the share of the re-
suits of mighty battle, reminds us
of an incident that occurred to a lot
of gentlemen, who were in the habit
of taking an annual hunt in the
the mouth of the Colorado River,
where game, both large and small,
lay hidden in the vicinity thereof.
There was negro boy in that neigh
borhoOd, who had pack of trained
dogs, that had built quite reputa-
ton with the hunters who visited
these jungles, which gave this boy
considerable revenue as we'll as no
tor1ety as the leader in the chase
On one occasion he and his dogs
were secured, and when the trail
was being hotly pursued, by boy.
dogs, and hunters, the excitement
of the chase was abruptly brought
to a close by the dogs return
ing showing signs of having an
encounter with some ferOcious
beast, for they were bleeding and
torn; no amount of force or persua-
sion on the part of the colored boy
could induce them to again take up
the chase, instead they supinely
crouched in the rear. Finally the
boy, after showing on his coun-
tenance modification and chagrin,
said, BOSS, I tells you deres some
kind of varment in dis bresh dat
desc here dogs of mine has never
ben bred up to scrap, but if you
genlmen wants me to-, Ise willin to
blow my horne for UNI over on de
prary where you can see EN- run
some rabbits, dey is swift runners
Shore
Now, boys, let us not get confused
when we come to vote on the ques-
ton that affects the existence of this
organization, and follow off in a
rabbit chase, but stay in the jun
giles, dogs or no dogs, by voting for
the National Union.

u. of Texas:
IT, by expressing few thoughts
relative to the situation affecting the
future Of usefulness of this splendid
organization, I may not be classed as
hanger-on'', or some other sort of
an undesirable citizen, I will take
this method of answering the numer-
Gus letters that come to hand from
friends, who seem to feel somewhat
discouraged as a result of our or
ganization being compelled to devote
so much valuable time and money in
an effort to overcome the plumbers
and mistakes of those to whom we
had entrusted the grave responsible
ty of steering our boat through the
rugged waters SO oft beset with
breakers. | do not think the loyal
membership of this great and indis-
pensible institution of ours can af-
ford to become SO uncharitable as to
lose sight of the fact that man, at
best, is nothing more than a small
mound of clay, composed of mistakes
and failures, hence the necessity of
the multiplied wisdom of the entire
membership to decide by their bal
lots, through the referendum to be
taken in the locals to determine
whether we secede> from the National
Union, and thereby break a sacred
compact made with the membership
of the other States, and to that ex-
tent place ourselves before the world
as regulations. Were [ writing
ritual for this institution, the answer
to this would be No, "a thousand times
NO. Texas can\never afford to stuI-
tify her manhood by DESERVING her
brethren of the other States, who
have, with the aid and approval of
Texas, declared war and the unequal
battle is now on to determine wheth-
er the women and little children of
the South are to go back to the cot
ton-fields, and there be eternally re-
garded as chattles, necessary only to
the making of profits for others to
enjoy.
This is the great issue, as I see it,
involved in the vote to be taken in
the locals of Texas: If the member
ship of Texas will, by their votes,
send the message down the line to
the other States that we are with
you, this question will be settled, as
it was designed to be by the founders
shrink back from the grave respon-
sibilities that confront us, and there
by confess to the world that the or
ganized farmers of Texas are only
capacitated to blindly follow the
blind until they fall in the ditch,
then this issue can never come before
the public opinion for it's solution
within the next twenty years. We
should, with charity, consider the
mistakes made by each other, even
those of our officials, for they are
no less liable to mistakes than the
membership. Any other view COM
mits us to that old barbaric idea;
that the King can do no wrong,
therefore I have an abiding faith in
the intelligence of the members to
vote for continuance of the CO.
operative efforts with the National
Union, and that Texas will always be
found in the front, battling for the
emancipation of the white slaves of
the South.

FOrd'S Hair POmade.

Seldom is an advertised prepare
ton underestimated, yet strange as
il may seem there is, at least, one
remedy that we know which is hard
" given the credit that is due It..
This remedy is FOrd's Hair Pomade,
a preparation that has been on the
market for over fifty years and dur
ing that time, has without a doubt,
been the means of helping the col
ored people more than any other
remedy in this line.
Ford's Hair Pomade, manufactured
by the Ozonized OK Marrow Company
OF Chicago, Ill, is a preparation that
will make, harsh kinky hair softer
and more pliable, easy 10 comb and
put up in any style that the length
viii permit. No lady can afford to be
without it, especially il her hair is
harsh and unruly.
No one need to be afraid TO try
this old time tried remedy for kinky,
harsh, short and curly hair, for as
we said, we honestly believe that 1t
will do more than the manufacturers
claim Of IT and if there ever was a
remedy that is underestimate,
Ford's Hair Pomade is the remedy.
A good fault we will admit, and il
affords the PLANET pleasure in say
ing these few words in behalf Of a
good thing for his people. Try it.

WILD DASH AFTER
RUNAWAY HORSE

Brave Act on Part Of Unknown Ne
gro, Who Thought Not OF Danger.
Unthoughtful OF the fame which
might have been his, and, seemingly
DESTROYS OF only giving aid. an un-
known negro last night stopped a
runaway horse belonging TO Leroy
Cohen. of 1907 Park Avenue. The
vehicle was unoccupied. but the ne
gro did not know this. for he was
FAR behind when ne first saw the
horse dashing by. He was riding a
bicycle az the time. and he put foot
90 the pedals and rode as fast as his
legs could carry him.
Mr. Cohcn's horse was being taken
20 the stable, i'm Jackson Ward, by a
negro boy employed by him. when
the bit-a rubber bit with thin wire
running through-brokc. As the bit
snapped ia twain. the animal became
thoroughly frightened; and started
of. The boy climbed over the back
OF the vehicle and dropped 10 the
ground. But the horse ran into Broad
Street. crowded at that time of the
evening. and after narrowly missing
several street cars, turned into Grace
Street.
All the while the unknown negro
was closely pursuing. lie could not
tell whether the buggy was occupied
and seemed not 10 think of his own
life. AS the horse turned into Third
and Franklin and slowed down, the
negro jumped from his wheel and
caught hold OF the bit. The animal
broke away from the buggy, which
was left on the corner, intact, car
rying with him only the harness. The
negro took him TO the Second Police
Station, where he was afterwards
claimed by Mr.. Cohen. He was un-
hurt
Mr.. Cohen said that he had been
out driving with his wife all the
afternoon. and had experienced no
trouble IL was the broken bit which
caused the runaway broken bit OF
rubber, which the horse had evident
ly chewed in half.
Mr.. Cohen gave the unknown ne
gro a tip for his work, and then the
latter disappeared. In the excitement
no one asked his name, and he
vouchsafed no information.-Tim

voice. accompanied by the spasmodic
'zoom-zoom' of the instrument,
three highly moral end sentimental
verses. of which the refrain ran:

You can't take anything away
from Johnson. You have got to give
him credit for the clean manner in
which he handled himself in the ring.
his continual good nature, his refu-
sal to be bantered by the side talk
which was being handed TO him from
Jeff's corner, his cleverness with his
hands and the careful manner in
which he refrained from putting his
title in jeopardy. He was clean in
his fighting from start to finish. He
took no unfair advantages and
fought squarely and honestly. As
for Jeff, well I think he was the
worst conditioned man ever saw
enter a ring for the heavyweight
championship.
