IRRIGATION PROJECT
SOUTHWEST TEXAS
LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY TO
BE BROUGHT UNDER THE DO.
MAIN OF THE PLOW.

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 2S.-An-
other big irrigation system will soon
be installed in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley which will bring under the
domain of the plo~ several thous-
and acres of land. The great canal
from the Rio Grande river, which
will furnish water, was begun some
time ago, but on account OF misun-
derstandings the work was delayed
for time. A few days ago the
property was purchased by b. F.
Yoakum, chairman of the Board OF
Directors of the st. Louis. Browns
vile & Mexican Railroad Company,
John Closner, sheriff of Hidalgo
county, and other wealthy and in
fluentiIl men. The purchase inr
cludes the property of the Chaplin
Townsite Company on which the
county seat of Hidalgo county is
located. The new owners propose
to begin at once one Of the great
est developments in the valley, thus
adding a wide area TO that famously
fertile section of the state, when
completed, according to the planf
of the new company. this will be
one OF the great irrigated sections
OF the state. Closner, who is heavily
interested. is the man who owns
the sugar plantation on which grew
the cane that won the gold medal
at the Worlds Fair at Saint Louis
and is the owner of a large sugar
mill in the valley. 1t is understood
that a part of the new holdings
will be devoted to a sugar planta-
ton and that producing sugar cane
by irrigation will be carried on ex-
tensively, the efforts so far in this
culture showing that il is highly
profitable in this part OF the south
west.

Mr.. Meade is getting in some good

good in this line.
The half year is now ending. Some
of the best work ever done in the
various departments has been shown.
In history, in English, in foreign Ian
guages, and all the way round, the
pupils are showing a better grip of
the subjects than ever before. But
then, the schools are built on this
hypothesis, they must grow from
year to year. The whole spirit Of the
system for the last five years has
been growth, strength, breadth, life.
The results have been a marvel even
to school men who, from time TO time,
come to look in upon the work and
spirit OF the schools.

he said that the speakership was like
teeter-totter board.
There is Wise in the north end OF
the state" he said, "and Keneman in
the south end, and McGinnis in the
middle. Now they will begin to teeter
totter, and the first thing you know
the fellow on one end will flip off and
that will flip the other one off, and
who will that leave on the board?
The answer is easy. 1t will be Nc

with it, because all of the democratic
members of the house who met in
conference here called on the COVER
nor and he gave them some plain
talk. 1t was the governors fist def
mote expression in regard to the leg
islative affairs.
He told the house members that
they should stick to the democratic
state platform and enact its pledges,
and these include a pledwge to repeal
the county option law and enact in its
place a law providing for city and
township option. He told them also
that the state was in bad condition
financially, and that it was up to
them to give a good business admin
stration, and that if they did not do
it there would be no democratic par
ty two years hence.
But among all of the things the
governor told the democratic mem
bers of the house one was most sig
nificant. He told them that he did
not intend to try TO dictate to them
what they should do, and that they
should do, and that they should per-
NIT no other man to dictate to them.
II would be hardly fair to say that
the governor in saying they should
permit no other man to dictate to
them had in mind Thomas Taggart,
but, so far as It known, Taggart is
about the only man who has been
thought of as being in a position to
dictate to the legislators.
The candidates for speaker of the
holse also called on the governor. He
told them that he would take no part
in the speakership contest. There
are now nine candidates, and the list
is getting bigger. The most promis-
ing candidates seem to be Adam Wise
of Plymouth, Adolph Sedensticker of
indianapolis, Albert Keneman OF
Evansville. and H. L. McGinnis OF
Martinville.
Politicians say they have been un.
able to find what candidate Taggart
is behind, il any. Some have an idea
that Taggart will be found boosting
McGinnis of Martinsville. Taggart is
said to have given an illustration on
the speakership contest the other
day. Using his penknife as a device

TEXAS SENATOR IS
AGAINST C|GARETS
STATE SENATOR COFER OF
GAINESVILLE MAKING SALE OF
CIGARETTES A MISDEMEANoR.

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 2S.-
State Senator Cofer of Gainesville
is after both the cigarette and the
markings" The senator, however,
does not want to smoke, neither
does he want anyone else to do so.
He has introduced a bill in the
Texas legislature making it mis-
demeanor for any person for him
self or as the agent of any other
person, firm or corporation to sell
or expose for sale any cigarette,
cigarette paper or wrapper in the
state of Texas" Should this bill
become law, anyone doing so will
be subject to a fine of not less than
$40 nor more than 800. Cofer be-
leves this law so much needed that
he asks that the emergency clause
be attached and that it become eff
fective Immediately after its pas
sage.

POLITICAL PARTIES TO MAKE
VIGOROUS FIGHT IN HooSIER
STATE.
BEvER|OGE WANTS CONTROL
While He Is Fighting for Control OF
Republican Party, Governor Mar
shall is Busy Among the Demo-
Gratis.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2S.-With
the convening of the legislature near
at hand it is evident there will be
much activity politically in the next
two weeks. This was made clear
when democrats and republicans Of
all types met in Indianapolis last
week.
One of the developments of the
week was the interest shown by some
Of the old leaders in the republican
conference which was held here. This
conference was called by State Chair
man Lee Of the pro- Beveridge organi-
zation. Among those present was
Joseph B. Healing, who managed the
campaign of former Nive President
Fairbanks when the latter was can
didate for United States senator sew
eral years ago.
in the evening a dinner was given
to members of the legislature. 1t is
evident that the Beveridge organiza'
ton is not going to have full sway in
the republican politics of the state
There never has been a friendly feel
ing betgeen Berveridge and the old
republican state organization.
Even now among the politicians
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-01-29

there is talk that there will be an eff
ort to oust Mr.. Lee from the state
craftsmanship at the end Of his term,
which will continue for little more
than year.
This talk has never gone to the ex'
tent that any candidate for the chair
manship has been definitely mention
ed, but there are good many of the
old organization who believe James
p. Goodrich former chairman, woul1
do well in that capacity again.
Talk is also heard that Mr.. Keal-
ing would be a good man for the
state craftsmanship. He practically
managed the city campaign in Indian
apolis two years ago.
But while there is nothing definite
in the plans of either branch of the
republican party, it is evident that
there is going to be contest for the
management of the party organiza-
ton.
The republicans in their conference
decided to stand together in opposi-
ton to the democrats in all political
glory of the new state. The house,
nothing daunted, is not pessimistic,
but is going to show that even Okla
homa has something 10 learn. You

clude also a bill the democrats are
expected to introduce which will pro-
vide for the repeal Of the county 10.
cal option law. Nearly sixty repub-
licans, many of them members or the
eeislature, attended the conference,
and 1t seemed to be the understand
ing that they will oppose the repeal OF
the option law, In spite of the fact
that State Chairman Lee shortly af'
ter the election gave out statement
in which he said that the fact that
the republicans were responsible for
the county option law caused their
defeat.
Friends of this law gained much
consolation from the apparent atti
tude of the republicans and the lndi
ana Anti-Saloon league will make g
desperate effort to gain a sufficient
number of democratic votes to save
the statute.
But they will not save it, If Gov
ernor Marshall has anything to dc

Hiuh School Joint Debate.

The annual joint debate between
the house and the United States SEN
ate will occur next Friday at Carne-
gle hall. This will be a spirited
school contest on the subject: Re
solved that Oklahoma has the best
and Most Progressive Government of
Any State in the Union" The SEN
ate stands for the affirmative and will
give the home state such boost as
will not be forgotten in the city's an.
mails, but will be handed down as the
best get contributed to fame and
can afford to be there.
The annual oratorical contest is
now but four weeks off. The speak
ers have been elected and there Is
now nothing but to work and to wait
to see the best exhibition of oratory
ever witnessed in these great contests.
The orators will be Paul Frame, Geo.
Anderson. Ernest Hendon, Lorena
Cruce. Dee Lynn. This event is held
in honor of Washngton's birthday.
The Criterion IS well under way
for the next issue, and Editor Dyer
says the Washington's birthday num-
Der will be out on time, and you can
be assured of this, it will be one OF
the best issues ever. This paper is
making a name for the school all over
the state, and in schools beyond the
border of the home state.

NEWS ITEMS FROM
WESLEYAN COLLEGE

Macon, Ga, Dec. 30.-Wesleyan Fe-
male College has had three months of
as great prosperity as has ever marked
her history. President Ainsworth has
secured several large contributions to
the greater Wesleyan endowment fund,
among which was the handsome gift
Of ten thousand dollars by Mr.. c. s.
Hodges. The splendid endowment will
soon be complete.
The college is making many great
improvements. The new gymnasium,
class rooms and dormitories are just
being occupied, and every comfort
necessary is being provided for the
students.
One of the best systems of student
government in America has been care
fully worked out, and will be put into
immediate operation after the holidays.
The high literary standards raising the
average age Of the young ladies in at
tendance has made this possible. The
young ladies have so completely the
confidence Of the entire faculty in their
readiness for self government that the
system was adopted by them unani
mously. There has never been a more

commercial position that can be held
against all competition.
Now If these assumptions are true
why are we not taking advantage Of
them and why are we buying not only
meat and corn, grain and feedstuff
from other sections OF our country, but
also we are purchasing nearly all the
canned fruits and vegetables con-
sumed in our cities and too often the
farmer has to supply his own table
with canned peaches and pears from
California, tomatoes, corn and okra
from Baltimore.
"Now a word as to the farmers of
the Roberts and Gonzalez communities
this can be stopped. You may ask me
how. Simply by the farmers coming
together and cooperating one with
the other and putting up a canning
factory and syrup plant right here In
our own community and we will stop
canned corn, okra, beans, sweet pota-
toes and, in fact, all such STUFF that
we buy in cans. This is a good COM
munity: the land will produce all the
above mentioned articles; ali that is
necessary Is cooperation. Let the
farmers of this cor nunity come to-
gether and work together and all plant
a uniform crop and build canning
factory. Some one will say, oh, we
are not able All right, form stock
company, put a good live man at the
helm and you will see a more pros
porous community and the same may
be said of other communities.
Now, after fifteen months Of study
ing and watching, ] see no better
remedy than for a truckers co-opera-
tive organization. This can be done
through the farmers union, which is
grand organization. The farmer who
grows a perishable crop needs more
than any other this help and 1t seems
to me he gets the least out of it. The
farmer IN driving distance of Pensa-
cola may not feel this need. but those
not so fortunately located feel this
need most deeply.
Public sentiment needs to be
aroused to the importance Of this work
and a farmers union can do much to
help create this sentiment.
When such men as Profs. Rolls,
McQaurrie, Spencer and others gather
together to devise ways and means OF
lettering the conditions of life 1t means
much to the farmers, if they will only
take heed. 1t means that ideas and
principles are to control activities; il
means intelligence and work COVE ned
by intelligent directions is the work,
nowadays, that pays. The man who
knows the possibilities of the soil I'M
der his foot and when that soil is made
to conform to the elements that are
about it and in 1t may be said to be
master Of the thing he Is doing. At
least, we should have all home de-
mands supplied from our own farms
gardens and orchards. Then a pros
perity will come to us that will make
us happy and Independent and this can
be the privilege of the farmers Of Es-
Gambia county.
Now, to my fellow farmers, in con-
clusion, I would say, as the new year
is now approaching and it is a custom
to make new vows and resolutions on
New Years, that I admire the type of
man of a southern soldier as he was
returning home after the close of the
war in company with several compan-
ions. Sitting around camp one night
the situation looked gloomy and they
