raa Antonio. Tex, Nov. .. -
Down IN a quite lutte part Of Texas.
there is small village called june
ton. 1t Is one Of the largest pecan
markets in the world Just at pres
emit the streets are lined with wagons
loaded with pecaps every day. Al
ready more than three hundred
thousand pounds have been market
ed there Present indications are
chat the crop marketed at Junction
will be more than five hundred
thousand pounds. This is a South
west Texas CROP to which practically
no attention whatever is given. II
is, nevertheless one OF the most
profitable in the world. Some idea
Of che possibilities OF its develop
ment may be gathered from the fact
that the market price for pecans
varies from 7 u 10 20 cents per
pound. Few other products in the
world vary so extensively In price.
throughout the South, however,
some small effort is now being made
TO give attention TO the pecan trees,
with Il view to Improvement or the
crop As a result of this, the crop
OF some OF the better trees is IN de-
mapd for use by the nurseries. The
crop o. one tree at junction has been
eortraetel for ly nursery for the
next five wears at 30 cents a pound.
On some ct tae larger ranches OF
Southwest Texas, where there are
several miles OF river bottom, tie
income from the pecans Is sufficient
TO pay ten per cent interest on the
money invested in the ranch, in spite
Of the fact that absolutely no care
is given the trees AS means LOT
pointing out the Value of the pecan
tree, the Texas Nurserymen' Asso-
citation has made an offer to the pub
lie schools of the state to supply the
very finest OF trees to every public
school which will request--the trees
to be planted In the school yards.
Efforts are also being made
throughout the state by several or
CARNATIONS to induce the planting OF
pecan trees for shade. Strenuous
efforts have been made In this part
of the state TO inform the owners
OF large numbers OF pecan trees how
| TO gather the crop without damaging
the trees. In many places, trees
have been severely damaged by the
thrashing which brings down the
pecanG.
The production OF nuts of all
kinds In this country is becoming
increasingly important. Govern
ment statistics show quite plainly
that In spite Of the great progress
made with almonds, English wal
nuts. pecans. and others. the pro-
portion Of the total OF nuts imported
from other countries Is steadily In
creasing. Many persons consider
this due TO the increased number Of
yegetarians In this country, and
there Is substantial indication that
| this Is true. Present market tcDndi-
lions point to the pecan a. one n
| the most profitable of southern
crops.

Chicago Tribune: The falling of
in the population of Iowa, trifling
though it is, will mortify the people OF
that state. Yet it is not surprising.
Iowa has no great cities to draw In
habitants from other states. No great
industries have started there. There
is no vacant land inviting settlers.
There is practically no unimproved
land except the strips along the
roads and the railway tracks. While
the cities have gained something In
population the farming districts have
lost more Men have left them be
cause they thought there were better
agricultural opportunities in Canada
or the far west.
But the loss in population, while il
may cost Iowa a congressman, which
would be regrettable, has not affected
the wealth or the productiveness OF
the state. The increase in the size
Of farms. more noticeable this veal
than 1t was ten years rso. has had
no effect on the harvest. The work
which used to be done by the mer
who have departed has been taker

One need not look for marked
change in conditions as long as 1owans
devote themselves so assiduously ant
successfully to the raising of corr
and oats Probably with them there
is greater economy in large than il
small farms. But assuredly the da!

CONGRATULATIONS FOR KEN
NEDY.


First district Republican newspa-
pers as far as heard from are quite
cordial in their expressions of salts
faction over the reelection of Con-
gresham Kennedy. The Mt. Pleasant
Journal for instance, says.
Congressman Kennedy made a
magnificent run. Notwithstanding the
year, he actually increased his ma
jority of two years ago. Nobody ex-
pected this. 1t shows the strong hold
Mr.. Kennedy has upon the people of
the district
The Mt. Pleasant News, insurgent,
does him the honor to say:
Congressman Kennedy is re-elect-
ed by a very flattering majority. And
this fact stands out conspicuous amid
the ruins of Republican hopes in the
district, where state and county Of
ficials were made to feel the sting OF
the knife. In spite of what has been
said and done Kennedy has very
strong hold on the district and was
very generally supported by the pro-
gressives.'
The Burlington Hawk-Eye incident
ally remarks:
Congressman Kennedy carried ev-
cry county in his district. excepting
one. We await the complete election
returns to discover how many other
Iowa Republican congressman can
match this record. And yet outsiders
kept putting the First district in the
doubtful or close column

RoosEvELT's RESPONSIBILITY.

There is a disposition on the part
of number Of newspapers, both Re-
publican and Democratic, to hold Col
onel Roosevelt largely responsible for
the defeats suffered by the Republic
can party in the recent election. The
Clinton Herald is unable to view the
overwhelming Democratic victory in
New York in any other light than
rebuke to him. THE people of that
state have spoken plainly it says,
and demonstrated that they want
none of the new nationalisin The
Cedar Rapids Republican declares
that the Amer can people do not like
to be dictated to, not even by Z Roose-
welt, and goes on to say:
"Two-thirds of his campaigning was
out of place He was not candidate
for any Office and the fact that he had
been President did not entitle him to
interfere in the election. The people
want hands off in such matters. Col
onel Roosevelt moreover, was very
abusive. He scolded rather than
argued He called Judge Baldwin a
bad man and in Indiana he referred
to federal judge as a jackass and
crook because that judge had re.

state to be hailed into court in Wash

the interstate commerce commission
in the rate hearings in Chicago. Two
of these bulletins have been publish
ed in the Herald They tell story
of increase in the value of farm
lands and farm buildings during the
past ten years that seem almost be-

indicate that farming operations are

temporary successes of extremists in

that such an element might some day
unite with similar element in the
Democratic party to the temporary

in the tide and the population of Iowa
will begin to increase. The demands
of great city markets like that OF
Chicago will compel more diversified
agricultural industry. The dairy and

the cereals and will require the SER
vices of larger number of people.
There will be a reason for returning
to the land which does not exist now.

BETTER THINGS.

Better than grandeur, better than
gold,
Than rank or titles, a hundredfold,
Is healthful body, mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always
please.
A heart that can feel for neighbours
woe,
And share his joy with friendly
glow,
With sympathies large enough to en-
fold
All men as brothers, is better than
gold.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons of toll when their labors
close;
Better than gold is the poor mans
sleep,
And the balm that drops on his
slumbers deep.
Better than gold is thinking mind,
That in realms of thought and books
can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of
yore.
Alexander Smart.

Second-class railway fares through
out Europe on the principal railways
will now average per mile more than
first-class fares in the United States.
First-class fares In Europe are about
80 per cent higher than first-class
fares in the United States; third
class fares in Europe are about 40
per cent lower than first-class fares
in the United States, but no one ex-
cept newly arrived immigrants would
ride third-class in this country.
Sleeping car fares are from 20 to 30
per cent higher, and on trains de
luxe so per cent higher than in the
United States, and there will always
be a controversy as to the compare
tive comfort of the waeon-lit com
partment cars of Europe and the Pull
mans in the United States. 1t is pure
ly matter of taste.
1t costs about one-third more for
an American TO travel the same dis
lance in Europe than in the United
States, let him go by the cheapest
way he can, because he has to pay
extra for his baggage, and the fees
and tips that are demanded by por-
tiers at the railway stations, the ser.
wants at the hotels and other persons
who help him along in his journey
must be counted in.

HIGH PRICES RULE ABROAD.
Cost of Living soars-Food, Clothing
and Rents Show 15-Year In
crease of IS to 100 Per Cent.

William E. Curtis Vienna letter in
Chicago Reccrd-Herald: Residents OF
Europe as well as travellers complain
bitterly Of the Increase in the cost OF
living. 1t is quite as marked and even
more embarrassing to people of mod
crate means than in the United
States. Food and drink, clothing and
household goods, rents for living and
business purposes, and everything
else that is needed by the human
family has advanced in value from 20
to 100 per cent during the last twelve
or fifteen years. When l first began
to go to Europe the most comfortable
and luxurious hotel apartments in the
principal cities could be had for Is
francs a day. That was the maximum,
and at the smaller places one could
live zen pension" that is, on the
American plan, with room and board
for the same price In London, Paris.
Berlin, Vienna, Rome and the larger
cities d single room cost francs, or
81 day and you could drive any
where in a cab for franc, or shill-
ing at the most.
Today the cost of the humblest ac-
commodations is equal to the cost OF
the most luxurious quarters ten or
twelve years ago, and there is no
economy for an american to buy
clothing or anything else, except jew
els, in Europe. You can get as good
suit of clothes, and better fit, from
your home tailor as from the fash-
ionable establishments in London and
Paris, and the dressmakers and mil
liners OF Paris and Vienna charge
Just as much as those of correspond
ing reputation in america, although
they have the advantage of anticipat-
ing styles.

The ordinary hotels of Europe to-
day charge the American traveller as
much as he would pay at the Wal
dorf- Astoria in New York, and he
doesn't get anywhere near as much
for his money. The prices on the bills
of-fare at the tlrst-class notels IN the
smaller as we'll as the larger cities,
all the way from Queenstown to Con-
stantinople are as high as those at
the Waldorf or Sherry's, and the por-
tions served are not half as large,
The highest prices | have paid for
hotel accommodations during the last
summer were at Cdessa, in the Cri-
mea, at Tiflis and at Baku; and way
off in Tashkent and Bokhara my hotel
bills were as heavy as those at Wen
ma or Berlin. A beefsteak, plate OF
bacon and eggs. or any other simple
dish costs the same in Turkistan, or
in the Caucasus, Or Hungary, or Ger
many, as one would have to pay in
Chicago or New York.
The same may pc said OF railroad
fares While agitators in the United
States are trying to pass laws cutting
them down to cents mile, the rail
ways of Europe are advancing their
charges almost every year, because
Of the advanced cost of fuel for their
locomotives and the increased wages
for their employees. AS the European
railways are generally owned and op.
Grated by the government, this adj
vance cannot be charged to overcapi-
talization, but is made absolutely
necessary by the increased expense
of operation and maintenance. There
is no alternative. Government owned
railways are compelled to pay maxi
mum wages, and Jneir coal. lubricat.
ing oil, lumber, rails and other sup
plies for construction and mainten-
ance cost just as much as is paid by
private purchaser. The government
railways are not managed for profit,
but public policy requires them to
nay expenses and accumulate sink
ing fund to redeem the bonds that
were issued to build them. In order
to do this, European railways very
generally have been compelled to adj
vance rates of fare and freight and
there mas been no interstate COM
merce commission to hear the COM
plants and protests of the public.
