ports to the ne wgulf outlet as soon
as the big ships could come up to
the wharves. as Galveston would fur
nish the line of least resistance" But
in this they were disappointed for a
time. Water can be made to run up
hill. Railroads leading from the
"granary of the nation" continued to
take products for export to the At
lantic ports, albeit rates slumped The
dream of diverting commerce was not
realized.
Within the last few years the com
merce of the port of Galveston has
grown enormously. 1t is now $50 per
cent greater than i'm 1890. Growth of
the west and southwest, growth of the
business of the country i'm general. is
the cause. Atlantic ports are still do
ing business at the old stand. But
they have become crowded. To ex-
pand their terminal facilities and to
build to the gulf and the great rail-
road systems of the west have been
putting out lines to that body of wa
ter, as the cotton plant sends its roots
to moist soil in a dry season. Upon
the surplus commerce Galveston is
growing. The Atlantic reservoir is
full; Galveston and her sister ports
Of the gulf have become the spillway
for the nations foreign commerce.
Influence of the Big Ditch.
Some diversion will i'm all likelihood
come with the completion and utiliza-
ton of the Panama canal-not because
the gulf ports are so much nearer the
Atlantic portal of the canal than are
our Atlantic ports. but because the
gulf ports will then be as favorablv
situated as are those of the Atlantic
seaboard i'm respect to Oriental and
other Pacific coast commerce. Al the
present time they are the least fa
Vorably situated Of all American ports
In that regard, in consequence Of
which Oriental business moves bv rail
to Pacific and Atlantic ports even out
of Texas.
Finding Room in Coast Country.
Likewise the Texas coast country
the great coastal plan is being rapidly
populated, developed and utilized. not
through process of diversion, but be-
cause the surplus of inhabitants from
older sections is here finding elbow
room. No part Of our country is vet
crowded as is Europe and Asia. but
Americans have been accustomed TO
plenty of breathing space and demand
1t. The pioneer spirit yet lives. When
ever section Of the country becomes
moderately thick i'm settlement the
nomadic impulse asserts itself. Thus
the new sections get settlers, not so
much because Of superior advantages
IN soil and climate as because they
nave breathing space; and they do not
get settlers in considerable numbers
until that space is needed.
Transportation facilities, of course.
have much to do in determining the
choice Of the homeseeker. Transcon-
tinental railroads, ocean to ocean

country In the sos and 70s, afforded
access to sufficient new country TO

friendly to Representative Townsend
that his withdrawal from the senatorial
race was a development that could be
looked for at any time. His cam
paign, they implied, has been going TO
pieces; men who had promised him
their support were gigging back and
showing an inclination To get into camp
with Senator Burrows. Townsend,
they have been won't to conclude, was
licked even at the go in.
But now Representative Townsend
has demonstrated that he is in the SEN
atOrial race TO stay by taking a step
that admits of no further dispute on
these points, comments the Mining
| Journal He has made announcement
that he will not be a candidate for re-
nomination i'm the second represent
alive district. This means that Town
send viii either have To get himself
elected as senator or lose place as
member Of congress. AS Townsend
has found his congressional duties con-
genial 'and the capital a place OF resi-
dence 10 his liking, IL may be taken
for granted that he will enter upon "A
vigorous campaign to secure the major
ity of the votes in the senatorial pri-
mary.
Many students Of the political situa-
ton in this state have argued that
Townsend's apparent intention to be a
candidate for reelection to the house
and a candidate for the senate at one
and the same time has been the great
est drawback to his senatorial cam
paign. They have taken the view that |
his candidacy for reelection i'm the |
second district has argued a lack of |
confidence on his part Of success in the |
senatorial primaries, and have assert
ed that if it was persisted in it would |
have an unfavorable effect on the vot-
ers. If this view has been correct, and
il probably has been, Townsend should
be a considerable gamer from his
course in burning his bridges behind
him. giving up the representative can
vass and concentrating his whole eff
fort on the senatorial primary.
There will not be lacking aspirants
for Representative Townsends seat in
the house. Hank Smith, a well-known
politician in the district, had announc-
ed that he would be a candidate, whe-
Their or not Townsend sought the NOM
nation, and quick on the heels of
rownsend's withdrawal came the an
that w w. Wedemeyer of
Ann Arbor will seek the nomination.
Mr.. Wedemeyer has long cherished an
ambition 10 go TO congress, but has
,een a loyal friend of Representative
II wnsend and has sought 10 avoid
the latter in any OF his
,lans. Mr.. Wedemeyer is well known q
n the upper peninsula. where he has
lone excellent service for his party c

lie is a well-equipped gentleman and l
would make an admirable congress- c
nan. I
1t is Representative Townsend's plan .

Baseball, the great American game,

the attendance on games is reported as

Montreal enjoys the sport. AS for
Europe it is likely 20 be invaded dur

of the Chicago American league club
and his players.
II is not strange that this pastime
should be exceedingly popular The
game is full Of life, and both players

An exchange suggests, editorialy
that residents could greatly reduce cost

one New York newspaper has found
an argument against direct nominal
tions in the fact that the Pittsburg
grafters were nominated directly by the
people and not through conventions.
That proves no more than does the
fact that the blackmailers in the New

conventions and not by direct pri-

In the April Delineator, Louis F.
Swift. president OF Swift & Company
packers. discussed the high prices of
food products. While he does not ad-
vance a new theory, his views are en-
titled 10 consideration, and as mat
ter Of fact must impress the average
reader with their logic. Mr.. Swift in
the course Of his summary says:
Il believe" he says in explaining
the high prices that prevail, that the
movement Of people from the country
towns and farms to the larger cit
les, as well as the rapid increase In
the population Of America has a more
than realized bearing on this SUBJ
ject also believe that the further
development Of diversified farming,
including the arising of livestock, and
the constant vigilence of the farmer
% insure the greatest yields rather,
perhaps than the greatest acreage,
will make the necessities of life cheap
or by lessening the cost of production.
The wholesale prices Of choice beef,
pork and mutton are higher than nor
NAL caused by the high price of live
stock on the hoOf. which is sympa-
thetic with and governed a good deal
by the high prices of grain and hay
throughout the United States. This
range in prices goes in periods often
low for a few years, then high for a
few years, and, no doubt, will be low
or again, all due to natural conditions
The wholesale price of the common and
ordinary cuts OF beef is not especial
~ higher than in other years. SO far
as l know, producers have all partic-
lpated 10 the fullest extent in the
wholesale prices realized on all edi-
bic products. The prices of meats are
no higher in proportion than the price
Of corn, wheat, oats, butter, eggs and
poultry l believe, however, there
Is a general extravaganza on the part
OF the American people in purchasing
their supplies. which can be modified
by a closer inspection of the com
modities purchased and the particu-
lar need. orders for food are some
times given by telephone, or with even
less attention, and the expense Incl
dent TO the delivery Of goods so pur-
chased should always be considered
The proper preparation and cooking
OF the cheaper cuts Cor "a percent of
the beef Is being given considerable
attention by domestic science Author
lilies, with a view 10 increase the use
OF the cheaper cuts which are lust
as nutritious as the rib and loin cuts
thereby effecting a saving in the cos,
Of living. This work Is commendable.
and should be continued"
Although Mr.. Swift is merely re-
peating what James j. Hill and others
have said at one time or another or
subject close 10 everyone. what ne
says will bear repeating. The tend
ency OF the times is toward waste ana
while a correction OF this fault may
not solve the problem OF the high cost
Of living, It viii help TO do so. Diver
sified farming also means a greater
output at less cost, and when we
learn the lesson Of the Old World I'm
this respect a great advance will have
been made.

The sitting of the Colorado Con-

the people of this state the work of
one of the races great organizations,

weeks ago this city was visited by

ment, a little later we entertained the
senior bishop of the church, Henry

ham Grant is with US. Apart from
the wonderful example these power
full men of the church are for the
rank and file, the achievement and
the hope for which they stand makes
the yearly assembly OF our branch Of
that church a matter of deep concern
for even those outside the church.

Conference an abundance of good
things. and most of all, continua-
