Will Texas
Lose Her
Rangers?
rs the Lone Star State to lose one

US the Lone Star State to lose one
of her most picturesque and III
IA teresting features-that famous
organization known the world
over for its deeds of daring, the Texas
rangers? There is again much talk
of abolishing this body of men. many
arguing that the state is now so civ
ilized that the rangers are no longer
needed. In fact, the question is al.
ready a well defined issue in the cam
paign for the governorship. and the
matter promises to be thrashed out on
the stump and in the public prints be-
fore the next regular session of the
legislature convenes.
The story Of the ranger service is
one long record Of unwavering fidelity
to duty during all the sixty years and
more in which it's members have
guarded the lives, liberties and prop
erty Of their fellow citizens. No gaudy
equipment has any place in the out
fit of the rangers: no bugle calls them,
and no flag floats above them in their
swift and silent rides, yet none the
less surely has this remarkable organ
ization ever shown itself admirably
adapted to the times and conditions
under which it has developed. In all
the elements Of true courage and ear
nestness. in ready obedience, efficiency
and patriotic devotion, it's record has
been surpassed by that Of no body Of
constabulary ever mustered.
The daring deeds Of the rangers were
Of almost everyday occurrence in the
early days. They roved the unbroken
wilderness at will and were a law
unto themselves. The official name
which the creative act Of the legisla-
ture gave to this military force was
the frontier battalion. 1t was intend
ed and long served for the protection
Of the ranchmen and other settlers Of
the border territory along the Rio
Grande and In the more western part
Of the state. In addition to their work
of running down outlaws, including
murderers. thieves and smugglers, the
rangers were one Of the chief factors
In Kidding Texas Of hostile bands of
Comanche, Lipan and other Indians,
particularly during the early seventies.
The rangers Of late years. however.
have had little to do at hunting cattle

Wants to See Mead Lose

The Springfield Reporter is still
trying to look out for the welfare of
DR.. Mead even though its bright po-
ltcal editor, Mr.. Finn, concluded his
special engagement Immediately after
the state convention. The Reporter
takes us to task because of our be-
lief that good would come out of
Mead's defeat, 1t says that the
charges against him have never been
proven for the simple reason that
they were not true, and that he will
be elected this fall by an unusual
majority in direct condemnation Of
the methods used by papers of The
Reformers type and their following.
The tenor of the Reporters remarks
is no doubt entirely satisfactory to
DR.. Mead but its argument is far
from convincing. Dr. Mead has had
every opportunity to disproye the
serious charges made against him by
publishing an itemized statement of
his campaign expenses, provided such
a statement would disprove them.
His refusal can mean but one thing
namely, that such revelation would
put him In worse situation than he
is at present. Outside the state DR..
Mead is now known as a rich man
who secured the gubernatorial nomi-
nation by such methods as only rich
men can AFFORD. We are still OF the
opinion that after election he ought to
be known as a rich man who failed in
his ambition to be governor because
the people Of the state would not
tolerate the methods he used.-Brat

AMERICAN RED CROSS
Plans Under Way for Next Winters
Campaign Against tuberculosis.

Secretary Charles l.. Magee Of the
American National Red Cross with
headquarters in the war department
at Washington, has just sent out
circulars to all the State organiza-
tons of the Red Cross notifying them
that arrangements are now complete
for the sale Of Christmas seals next
winter, the proceeds of which will be
used throughout the country against
the spread of tuberculosis, by means
II treatment and education.
The sale of last years Christmas
stamps netted the work OF the vari-
Gus States about 100000. Yer
monts share in the sale was about
S4OO, which has been used in defray-
ing expenses of patients at the Yer
mont sanatorium at Pittsford. One
young man from Burlington is back
cured and at work supporting his
family. A donation was also made to
the support of the summer camp for
tuberculosis patients at Brattleboro.
Much more can be done in stamping
out this dread disease If friends will
only remember as Christmas APP

Christmas seals means the saving OF
human life Instead OF stamps which

TROUBLE FOR LEAGUE

Inability to play Sunday ball at
Schenectady is interfering with the
league schedule. The attempt to
play the games scheduled between
North Adams and the Jeifersonians
and Jefersonians and Pittsfield and
the Schenectady team at Hoosick
Falls has proved failure. On July
"a Pittsheld played the "Jeifs" at
Hoosick Falls before i72 paid admis-
sions. On July 81 North Adams play

THEY PASSED THE CALL
Berkshire Girls Get Good "Party

Mrs. William A. Roberts and Miss
Elaine B. Dodd of North Adams

some GO miles of auto riding through
the Kennebunks, that pretty little
grouping of truly typical summer
colony consultations, embracing
much of that territory OF which
Maine is so justly proud-and the

A Holyoke police judge has recently
imposed heavy fines for Carrying re-
volvers, which were used in quarrels.
The judges action is wise, Revolvers
do vastly more harm than good Even
in country where man has to fear
wild beasts few men carry them, and
as for use against other men, they
are Of little value. Revolvers have
killed more of our friends than our
enemies, and are, taken altogether.
one of the greatest blights on ciyili-
zation.-Northampton Gazette.
Newspaper readers cannot but be
impressed by the frequency Of homi-
cides resulting from the carrying of
revolver and from the promiscous
selling of weapons to persons when
worked up by excitement, passion
drug or drink to the point Of murder
or suicide. The time has come when
not only the carrying of weapons
should be limited but also the sale Of
them without restraint and regula-
ton. There is no good reason why a
peaceful and law abiding citizen, who
wants a rifle, shotgun or revolver for
hunting or target use, should not have
it, but this permitting aliens of a hot
tempered race to make walking ar
senals Of themselves should be
stopped, and also the selling of guns
to drunkards, drug fends, weak mind
ed persons and criminals or criminal
suspects.

discovered that we were worshipping
men whose success seemed generally
to be built upon a philosophy which
appeared to disregard the finer and
broader virtues necessary for social
and economic welfare. We found, for
instance, that a great railroad king
accumulated the vast shares of his
railroad stock by trying to buy and
later getting a road which he wanted,
by stopping loan to this road and
thus forcing a foreclosure; that by
showing partially to one set of ship
pers and thus Gripping the poorer and
smaller ones, he was able to make his
road a valuable asset and when he
was ready to sell this same road, he
made some seventeen or eighteen mil
lions of dollars actually out of moth
ing. We found other railroad finan-
ciers causing their own railroad stocks
to fall in value, and when the lowest
price was reached they had their
agents buy it and in this way the
poorer people who had previously
bought stock, but could not afford to
hold it while the market prices were
down, lost millions The same kind
of transactions were made in other
great corporations until at last the
public conscience began to be awak-
ened to the fact that we had mistaken
the meaning of success as applied to
many captains of industry.
At the same time local heroes who
strutted about as politicians and seem
ed to thrive on their diet began to
be thought of. simultaneously it was
noticed that the sleeker these politi-
clans grew the Weather and less ac-
comodating certain local corporation
became A strange parallelism was
noted and then great series of NUM-
cipal and state Investigations We're be-
gun. 1t used to be that local politi-
cal celebrities would address meetings
and schools and dwell in eloquent
phraseology upon success and what it
was, but strangely enough they never
advised in detail just how they reached
it. But the public soon learned; and
the era of local state and national in
vestigations has not yet come to a
