TEXAN WANTS TO
BE THE SPEAKER
Henry VIII Oppose Champ
Clark-Culberson Re-
stored to Health.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 15-Wnl
Champ Clark be the next speaker Of
the house?
James Hay, of Virginia, and Robert
L. Henry, of Texas, are candidates
against Clark. Their platform is the
same-that the power of appointing
committees shall be taken away from
the speaker.
Swager Sherley. of Kentucky, also
has an eye on the speakers chair. He
has not announced his purposes, but it
is known that he has hopes OF forming
a combination of eastern recruits and
southern conservatives which would
give him the necessary strength to de-
feat Clark. ;ss.7

If Champ Clark stands squarely by
his record Of years, and supports the
proposition to take the appointing
power away from the speaker, and to
invest it in a committee on commit
tees, such as he himself proposed IN
the present congress, .the-opposition
captained by men like Sims, Hay aud
henry practically Will disappear
There is good reason to believe that
this fight will not be confined to one
party. In an interview given out last
night, Victor Murdoch, insurgent, from
the great state of Kansas, said the
Democratic victory meant that the
people wished the house rules to be
reformed so that the speaker might
become the servant of the house. and
not its autocrat. If the insurgent Re-
publicans unite with the progressive
Democrats of the Sims school, then the
rules will be reformed without regard
to the speakership ambitions Of Clark,
Hay or Henry.
Senator Culberson has returned to
the city restored to his usual good
health. Upon being asked. if he would
be candidate for chairman of the mi
nority party in the senate, he replied
that the Democratic members would
decide that question among them.

OBSTACLES TO PARCELS POST.

OBSTACLES TO A PARCELS POST.
The express strike insNeW York city
has attracted attention 1to<the desira-
bility of parcels post and led mayor
Gaynor TO wonder why our country did
not have such a systefl faS Hvery

An interesting fact in connection
with this discussion of the parcels post
is pointed out in recent issue Of the
Survey. which says: Wagons bearing
the legend, Parcel Agency for the I'm
perial German Mail may be seen every
day on the streets of New York. That
is, the German government offers in
New York for the benefit of its citt-
zens at home a service that our own
government will not render u.s. 1t is
good evidence that John Wanamaker
hit the nail on the head when he said
some years ago that there are just

United States and Wells-Fargo Ex-
press companies Mr.. Wanamaker's
opinion is quite widely shared.
Since his retirement as postmaster
general the government has arranged
by treaty for an exchange parcels post
service with 43 foreign countries. As
a result a parcel may be mailed from
Santa Fe to Smyrna, Dalny, Wei Hal
Wei or Montevideo which cannot be
posted to Dallas, Denver or New York.
Parcels can be sent from Brooklyn to
Berlin that cannot be sent from Brook
Ign to New York.

THAT DALLAS MILITIA CASE.

Del Rio, Texas, Nov IA.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
Your editorial on the Manley case in
Dallas I agree with fully, except that
1 think you have overlooked the crux
of the situation, and, in fact, 1 have
not found any of the writers have
touched on this point. The writer has
never served in the national guard and
does not know how this matter is
looked upon by that body, my military
experience heing confined to a course
at the Texas A and NJ college and
short while in the volunteers in 1895
hence L have no prejudices either way.
To nay mind the questions involved
in this case are far-reaching IN effect,
but the most important is this: Did
Sergt- Manley have, orders to stop
anyone from crossing a certain line?
If so, were these orders unqualified?
If the answers to these questions are
In the affirmative. then the action Of
the Dallas court is a fravesty upon
justice, for the simple reason that an
enlisted man under the Articles of War
has no discretion, and If ne failed to
obey the order, no matter what means
he had to- resort to to enforce the same,
he would be guilty of violation of the
Articles Of War in the fact that he
would have been disobedient to the
orders Of the Superiors appointed over
him and as such would have been liza
BILE to such punishment as court
martial deemed wise TO inflict-the
maximum being death.
In other words, the decision as it
now stands puts an enlisted man be-
tween the devil and the deep blue sea;
If he obeys orders as he should he is
liable 10 the jail and if he doesn't the
courtmartial will give him the same
dose
simply mention this view of the
case without commenting on the case
until it has been settled by the SUI
preme court d. Cushing.

Working to Save
EntOn7bed Men
EVERY KNOWN MEANS is BEING
USED TO REACH THE HALF
HUNDRED OR MORE MEN IN
STARkViLlE MINE.
BY Associated Press.

Starkville, Col, Oct. 1O-When
dawn broke today it found nina of
fcials, state mine inspectors, helmet
men and other expert mining men
faithfully working to reach the half
hundred or more miners entrapped in
the Starkville mine by the explosion
of Saturday night.
Word came from the mine at mid
night that the portable fan near the
entrance to the east slape, or short
cut Of the mine, was working with pre-
cision, and the deadly after damp had
been scattered and the belief was ex-
pressed that the interior would be
gradually relieved of this menace.
Today renewed efforts to reach the
entombed men were inaugurated, part
of the plan being, it was announced,
to find path to where they are be-
lieved to be huddled together, in death
or, perhaps, if still alive, enclosed in a
small space selected by themselves
and quickly shut Off by them when the
explosion came, to protect themselves
from black damp. The latter hy-
pothesis is based, of course, upon the
probability that the men were not in
stantly killed by the explosion or suf-
focated afterwards by deadly gases
Every plan that the ingenuity of ex-
perts can be put into use to penetrate
the black depth Of the mine and reach
the imprisoned men.
Mourned as dead for more than
twenty-four hours, Dave Obesh, one of
the oldest Starkville miners as to ser
vice, astonished his friends by appear

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 1O.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt took issue severely
with President Taft on the subject of
reclamation of the swamp lands in a
speech which he delivered here today
at the Arkansas state fair. Col. Roose-
welt declared that the national govern
ment should do all that it Legitimate
ly could do to assist in the work OF
draining these lands, while President
Taft in his speech at the National
Conservation Congress in ST. Paul,
September 6, said that he was oppos-
ed to the idea of having the govern
ment do this work. Col. Roosevelt was
applauded warmly by the great crowd
which heard his speech. He was
speaking in a state where there are
millions of acres Of fertile lane which
must be drained in order to be sus-
ceptible to cultivation and in which
the drainage question long has been
an issue of great public interest.
