like all other politicians he was
not always successful; he re-
signed from the senate in 1881,
to get a vindication with Conklin
but he nor Conklin got it. One of
Platt's greatest political efforts
had fruit in 1900, when he forced
the Vice presidential nomination
onto T. Roosevelt. whom Platt
wanted removed from New York
state politics. The fate which
removed the lamented Mckinley
made Roosevelt president, and
Platts last political state was
very much worse than the first.
As Senator Platt did nothing
which will make his name fam
Gus it can not be said that he
was the proper man to represent
all of the people of the great
stats of New York. He was re
garded rather as the representa-.
tive of special interests. Tom
Platt's later years seem to have
broughthim considerable trouble
domestic woes which must have
made him miserable, preplexed
him for a long time.

Another Native Texan Shows His Faith in
Panhandle 0tt

Last week w. W. Allison sold
to Charles Il. McAfee of the
Harrison-McA Company of
Canyon, 1875 acres of Alfalfa land
adjoining the city at the price of
Sl20 per acre. This same land
could have been bought by Mr..
McAfee at less than half the
price only two years ago.
Charlie is a native Texan by
just having celebrated his 2Sth
birthday, and ought to know the
value of Texas lands. He has
been in the business of buying
and selling land for the past five
years and up to that time was
on the farm and says he has
bought this piece of land for
home. 1t is his intention to build
a nice substantial home on this
newly acquired farm soon and
make a model farm out of this
land. About 100 acres of this
land is now in Alfalfa and will be
ready for harvest soon. The
balance will be used for truck
farming and feeding pens. He
also intends putting a concrete
dam across the Terra Blanco
which runs through the land and
making a large lake for fish etc.
When interviewed about his
intentions in the matter, he
stated to the News reporter, the
land is not for sale at any price
and l have bought it for a home.

that I have not forgotten how 10

got hold of some bad water, with
the result that it has left a last
ing impression on him. He
noticed the greatest difference
in the quality of the water here
in Randall county than the other
places is very much purer and
wholesome, and in large quanti-
ties, Mr.. Wright is very much
delighted with the looks of things
in Randall county, he thinks
prospects are great, and grow
ing wheat is looking fine, farmers
are all busy sowing late oats and
other small grain. The fine
conditions ofthe roads impressed
him very much, ne stated that
there was a great change in road
conditions here than in Iowa,
Missouri and Oklahoma, where
a number of places in the North
the roads are almost, If not i'm
passable, so much so that the
rural mail carriers cannot make
their trips. The mud being so
deep that teams cannot get thru,
and he particularly emphasized
the fine conditions in which he
finds the roads here now, and
stated that a team could haul all
that he could put on wagon, or
TO the limit of any wagon, the
roads being so firm and smOothe
He seemed to think that of it's
self was a great thing, to al
ways have road conditions so
favorable as to able to move any
and all farm products to market
whenever they demanded the
same, without having to first
figure out the road problen, to
get the same there. These and
many other natural climatic con.
ditions were of great interests
to the farmer, also which is OF
of vital interest to any and all
agricultural communities and
countries, we have all of those
advantages in Randall county.

Honor Whom Honor is Due


These men, the worlds heroes,
accomplished much for human
ity. Leaders in great works
they have been placed before US
as models for our admiration and
imitation. Not only the world
in general, but every nation has
its galary Of heroes whom it
honors as warriors, churchmen,
statesmen, philosophers and poets
Scarcely is the worlds heroes
placed in the tomb when the
admiring public began their
demonstration in his honor,
monuments are erected to his
memory, his statues are placed
in CONSPICUOUS places, while the
press is lavish of it's praise in
his behalf.
AS to the world, then, and as
every nation in the world has
it's heroes who have won renown
in literature, on the battle field,
or in the forum, so too has the
Catholic church her heroes who
have attained renoun in higher,
holier and nobler ways, whom,
she calls upon US daily to honor.
On the 18th of March each
year, we honor one of the great
heroes of the church, one of
Gods greatest Saints. Of
course any properly informed
person knows that we do not
honor the Saints as we do our
Lord. We adore Jesus. the re-
deemer of mankind, but we, in
imitation of Him, honor and VEN
crate the Saints as His repre-
sentative and faithfdl servants,
co-operated with the Grace of
God TO enlighten and scantify
themselves and thousands of
their fellow beings. This rela-
tive honor resounds to the great
er honor and glory of God, the
giver of every best and perfect
gift.
st. Patrick is the Saint, whom
we honor on the 18th of March.
Now it may be asked, what has
history to tell US concerning
ST. Patrick? Has he accomp-
lished such wonderful results
that enlightened men of this
electrical age need pause and
admire and learn something from
one of their fellow men who lived
little more than 400 years ago
What has he done? With the
help of God, he was the first Bis
hop of Ireland, changed Ireland
from superstitious, semi-pagan
to a Christian nation, which,
Notwithstanding the severeSt
trials and prosecutions for cen
turies, has ever been true to the
teachings of Christ, to the doc
trines of faith and morality and
discipline st. Patrick so firmly
rooted in tho hearts of her peo-
pie. And the task accomplished
we may well say, was more than
an ordinary Missionary's work.
And although an ardent des-
sire for knowledge, a great love
of learning seems inborn in
children of Erin, the ardent de
sire, this great love was
strengthened, enlivened and
vivifed by the advent of Christi
anity to the Isle. Learning, a
knowledge of classic literature
came with Christianity or was
rather the result of it. When
science and arts were on the
point of extinction throughout
the rest of Europe, when the
barbarians, the Goths, Vandalls
HUNS under Alaric, Genslrie and
Attila, swept from the face of
Italy almost every trace of civiliz-
alton; when the Burgmdians,
Visigoths and others were devas-
mating the rest of Europe; when

Senator Platt Passes Away

Thomas G. Platt, from Jan. IS,
1881, until March 4 1909, United
States senator from New York,
passed away Sunday afternoon
at his home, 1873 West Eleventh
street, after year or more of
general debility, had been Re-
publican leader of the state of
New York. He was succeeded
in the senate by former Secre-
tary of State Elihu Root.
Elk senator Platt was born in
Oswego, N. Y, July 18th 1888,
of old revolutionary stock. His
father was a lawyer. In 1849
the son entered Yale, college,
but did not graduate, although
twice honored for high scholar
ship. In 1854 he started in
business and succeeded in 1878
to the secretaryship of the
United Strtes Express Company
later becoming its president.
Mr.. Platt was for half a century
identified with politics, always
as a stanch republicans. He
was a prominent figure in the
Hays Tilden campaign and seve'
raj other famous political con-
tests.
TOM c. PLATT
One of the shrewdeSt politi-
cans in a country of politicians
was the late Senator Platt of
New York. With Platt, politics
was a science. He knew the
game from start to finish.
He was regarded an astute party
worker and leader. He was
what is termed as the ward
politician developed to acme of
perfection, although please do
not misinterpret the use word
perfection in this connection
Senator Pratt was the perfect
politician but not the perfect
man. Senator Platt was not
without great and good qualities.
No man can achieve the political
success that came to him, Platt,
without having a master mind,
and without having at least a
few good personal qualities
which serve to attract the follow
ers.
But Platts success was of the
most ephemeral sort, after all.
And that's is the only sort OF
success that comes to the man
who exalts the of a party or OF
a personal machine over princip'
les. To Platt as to Mat Quay
and otherf of that type of polit'
clans, the success of the party
or machine was the one end de-
sired. Platt was a national
figure for years. He figured in
the Garfield -Conklin episode IN
1881, when he acquired the nick
name of me Too Platt. He
was a successful politician but
