Commissioner Colquitt's most fer
vent prayer should be that he be
speedily delivered from some of his
fool friends. These friends are get
ting him in the attitude before the
people that every move made by any
one is conspiracy against Colquitt's
race. The governor recently intimat-
ed that he might call an extra session
of the legislature at an early date, and
Immediately the howl went up that it
was a move on the part of the COVER
nor to defeat Colquitt. This is part
of political trick, but it is one that
is apt to work wrong as right Pray,
Brother Colquitt, pray.

A DIsREPuTARLE PRACTICE.

At the present time there are four
gentlemen in the race for the COVER
norship of Texas; all democrats and
from fair reports all well thought of
and respected by their home people.
They differ in policies and on vital
questions of government, but aside
from this Difference all seem to be
men of honor and reasonable respecta-
bility Their home people vouch for
this truth And yet the Houston Post
claiming to be democratic, and APP
pointing itself a leader, and assuring
ticket nominated by the democratic
primaries, is spending its days and
nights studying up contemplate in
vectives to hurl at at least two OF
these men, even after swearing its
fealty to their party, and to their sup
port in case they are either made the
nominee for the high office of COVER
nor The Post has already about ex-
hausted the catalogue of vituperation
in its attacks on R. " Davidson, and
it has lately opened its batteries of
slime on Cone Johnson. In its Su..
day issue, along side of goodly lay
sermon, it refers to the Tyler man
as contestant with Judas Iscariot.
And yet the Houston paper may have
to support this man for governor. II
is pledged to do so in case he is the
nominee. There is no more bitter
partisan paper in the country than
the Post, and no paper that loses its
head more quickly and more complete
ly in the discussion of public ques-
tions and public men. With the Post
it is either to worship hero or scalp
an enemy. Such journalistic practice
is disreputable, and has a disgusting
effect on all fair-minded men.

BOYS ARE IN EARNEST
In the Corn Club Movement-Report
of the Meeting Held Saturday
Afternoon In the City Hall.

The Anderson County Boys Corn
Club met at the city hall on Saturday
afternoon, March s. Mr.. w. F. Proc
tor, special government agent for this
part of Texas, addressed the boys on
how to plant and cultivate their corn.
He said the ground should be well
broken and narrowed at least once
two or three times is better-and then
fertilized well with lot manure, if suf-
ficient can be had; if not, high
grade commercial fertilizer should be
used, say two to four hundred pounds
per acre, mixed well with the soil be-
fore planting Two hundred pounds
of cotton seed meal and one hundred
pounds of acid phosphate, mixed well,
give the best results on the average
uplands The planting seed should be
the very best type of local corn grown
in Anderson county The rows on up
lands should be from five to, feet
apart, and left about 20 inches in the
drill. The plat should be narrowed
just as the corn is coming up, and
then, if desired, the first cultivation
after the narrowing should be some
deeper, that it will stir the soil down,
say three inches; and later it should
be cultivated very shallow. with
sweeps or spring tooth harrows or
weeders. Go over it every eight or
ten days When the corn is about
three feet high it should have side
application of cotton seed meal OF at
least one hundred pounds per acre.
He then told the boys of other boys
who raised last year on one acre OF
corn more than their fathers did on
ten times the land.
Then Mr.. Sterne, on behalf of the
Board of Trade, read the rules adopt
ed by the Board to govern the distri-
button of prizes. He stated that the
Board of Trade had selected for one
prize a sold gold Waltham watch, on
exhibition in the show window at the
Kolstad Jewelry Store; fine Win
chester rifle, also on exhibition; and
later list of prizes will be published,
including suits of clothes and various
valuable articles contributed by mer-
chants and business men. This part
of the work is not yet completed, but
they expect to have about twenty
prizes. Mr.. Bratton of the Bratton
Drug company was present and stated
that he would give $500 in gold. Mr..
Geo. A. Wright said he would mix
fertilizer for every boy according to
whatever formula he desired and wait
until the crop was made next fall,
giving him the benefit of the lowest
cash price without interest, and the
boy who receives a prize shall have
his fertilizer free. Mr.. Proctor then
added that the Bankers Association
of the state of Texas offers the boy
who receives first prize at the Dallas
Fair choice of three prizes: First, a
ten days trip to Washington and New

Doing Things J
Differently !

II only the Criswells were content
to live according to conventional rule
existence doubtless would be much
smoother for them. Also for others.
It principally is others who rebel
against the Criswells' cheerfully &C.
centric method of conducting them
selves, their household and their af-
fairs in general, because when things
go wrong the Criswells are never
bothered nor upset, having child1ike
and Joyous interest in whatever Is un-
usual.
When a couple who have been mar
ried eight years get energetic enough
to go to a ball the usual method Of
procedure after the dance is over Is
for the masculine member to yawn,
mutter YEARLY that he has to get up
at seven in the morning just the same
and why the dickens doesn't the taxi
get them home faster-while his wife
says her head aches and somebody
else's gown was far prettier than hers
and oh, my, but she is sleepy!
Not the Criswells, however! When
they reached their home shelter at
two o'clock the other morning after
dancing since nine they surveyed one
another meditatively.

"So'm T." agreed Criswell.

SPOONER SCORES PRESIDENT
Maintains He Should Execute, Not
Make Laws.

New York, June 4.-Former Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin appeared here
as critic of the administration at the
dinner of the graduates of the New
York Homeopathic college. Mr.. Spoon
er told the graduates that for many
years, while in public life, he had ad-
vocated the appointment of new
cabinet officer-one who would have
supervision of the public health-but
that even then he felt the position was
sure to be occupied by politician and
that a politician would regulate the
medical profession to death.
Il am no statesman" he continued,
"and / never pretended to be. / am
afraid do not know what a statesman
is. / never knew that the president
was permitted to do everything that is
not positively prohibited In the Con-
stitution. / have read the oath OF Of
fee which he takes and 1t specifies
that he is to execute and not make
the laws"

The authorities at Nanking have re-

BELIEVES RAILROAD
CREDIT DESTROYED
President OF New York Central
Discusses Injunction.

New York, June 4.-The New York
Central has decided to suspend a $5,-
100000 project for improving it's sys-
tenn and has requested the cancella-
tion of $3,000,000 order for cars on
account of the injunction granted to
the attorney general by Judge Dyer in
Missouri restraining railroads from in
creasing their rates.
In making this announcement Presi-
dent Brown of the New York Central
lines declared that his road was un-
able to go ahead with its plans until
there was some settlement of the suit
filed by the government, because he
believed that the credit of American
railways had been almost totally de-
stroyed by this move against them.
"The credit of railroads in this coun-
try" he said, already has been so
badly shattered by the attacks that
have been made upon them in the past
that | believe 1t has been almost total
ly destroyed by the action. 1t will be
almost impossible, in my opinion, for
here or abroad.
mot long ago the New York Gen.
tral was able to sell in France $10,-
100000 worth of bonds. Even then
conditions were such that it was neces-
sary to cut them into multiples of 500
each in order to dispose of them. They
were sold at S8h cents on the dollar.
Difficult as was the situation at
that time ! am convinced that this ac-
tion has made 1t infinitely worse. It
Is my absolute opinion that railroad
could not today dispose Of its bonds
In France at any price that would be
profitable to It,"

journed to meet at Brainerd next De-

erd was unanimous. The convention

resolutions then adopted may be fresh
In the minds of the lawmakers.
The report of the committee on res
olutions, which was adopted, demands
reapportionment by the next session
of the legislature and demands that
the legislators from this part of the
state pledge themselves to work for
It; recommends that 1-mill state tax
for good roads amendment be submit
ted to the people and that the one
fourth mill now authorized by the con-
stitution be levied by the legislature;

loan its money for drainage purposes;
asks appropriations for schools and
roads in counties where the state owns
land; asks that state lands when sold
be sold with the timber and urges
larger appropriations for immigration
work. Legislation to help in estab-
fishing township rural graded schools
also Is recommended.

LEAK CHARGED
TO PRESIDENT
Said to Have Let News Of
Injunction Slip Out.
INNOCENT OF ANY HARM

Was Full of Enthusiasm Over Attorney
General Wickerham's Coup Against
the Railroads and Frankly Informed
Visitors What Was Uppermost in
His Mind-Information Used I,
"?lay" the Market.
Washington, June 4.-That there
was leak from some high official
source that gave the big insiders a
chance to change position on the
stock market from the bull side to
the bear, selling out their long stocks
and going quietly short of the rail-
road issues in time to take full ad-
vantage of the infant panic of Tues
day afternoon, is believed in Washing
ton.
The three high officials under sus-
picion are President Taft, Attorney
General Wickersham and Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh.
Attorney General Wickersham ad-
mits that the suspicion against him is
well founded, but pleads that he gave
the information to senators only be-
cause he found that Senator La Fol-
lette was about to press resolution
to stop the railroads from raising
rates.
Why" said the attorney general
to several senators, he having gone
to the Capitol from the White House,
that isn't necessary. | have applied
for an Injunction to accomplish that"
That was a few minutes before
noon.
Secretary MacVeagh made the in
formation public to reporters after the
cabinet meeting. but as that was after
l p. m. the secretary has a good alibi
Thinks Taft Let News Slip.
AS the selling orders began In the
local brokerage Offices about 1870
a. m. all suspicion has centered on
Mr.. Taft, as it is well known that he
was full of enthusiasm over the coup
of Mr. Wickersham and that he had
uulH6TOuS NlSltOTS before LuS CdDluel
meeting opened. The presidents
frankness in telling visitors what is
uppermost in his mind is SO well
known that no one in Washington
doubts that the president told num-
ber of them the decision that he and
Mr.. Wickersham had just reached.
Mr.. Wickersham went to the White
House Tuesday before the cabinet
meeting at ii o'clock. He then put 1t
up to the president that the restrain
ing order was the best way to fore
stall the intentions of the Western
railroad directorates to boost the
freight rates all over the Middle West
President Taft approved of the plan
and told the attorney general to go
ahead.
Then, at 1870 o'clock, Mr.. Wicker
sham left the White House and went
to the Capitol. He arrived at the
Capitol before noon. He went directly
to the supreme court, where he was
engaged for about an hour.

STOCKS DROP STILL LOWER
Some Declines Below the Level ot
October, 1907.

New York, June 4.-The market
saw the most radical fall in stocks
since the panic of October, 1907. Many
stocks went even lower than the low
mark recorded at that time.
The lower prices were due to fed
eral injunction preventing Western
railroads from advancing freight rates
and the fear that the Eastern roads
will fare likewise.
Union Pacific was the keynote Of
the market. After opening fairly
steady with its dividend of 2A per
cent taken off there was a steady de-
cline of seven points.
1t is not believed that the general
public was in this market to any
great extent. The big financiers of
the East have generally been regarded
~ the heaviest owners Of stocks.
Rallies were few and spasmodic to-
ward the close Of the day.

The feeling in several of the prov
inces of China Is still giving the au-
thorities much concern. United States
Minister Calhoun, at Peking, In a
cablegram to the state department,
transmits message from the United
States consul at Nanking In which he
says that the city has been posted
with placards melting the people to
the destruction of foreign life and
property in consequence of which con-
siderable nervousness is felt.

States ship New Orleans is there and
is prepared, with the German, British
and Japanese warships, to land con-
siderable force, If found necessary, to

JOHN BULL GOOD CUSTOMER
Buys Nearly One-haIf Of Our Manu-

Washington, June 4.-British terri

American manufactures. In the face
OF the fact that Great Britain is Eu-
ropes greatest manufacturer and the
worlds greatest exporter of manufac-
lures nearly one-half of all the ex-
ported manufactured products of the
United States goes to British terri
tory and forms more than a third of
all the exports to those lands. These
facts were disclosed in a summary
