PRIZES FOR FARMERS.
Texans Will Be Urged to Produce
Banner Crops.

Following on the lines OF industrial de-
velopment that have already been started
by the Department of Agriculture in the
south there has been made an offer Of
$4,000 in prizes to Texas farmers.
The announcement has been made to
the Department of Agriculture by the
Texas industrial congress. with head
quarters at Dallas. The prize offers are
of course, intended to stimulate the in
dividual farmers. but by stirring them
up to fresh efforts the business men
think the increased production will react
beneficially on all lines of industry in
the state.
The prizes are in two sections. one an
open competition to be accessible to
every one and the other confined to boys
and girls under twenty years of age.
The first prize in the open class is 81. 500,
grading down from that. and the maxi
mum prize in the boys and girls compe-
tition is $1,000. The prizes are for raising
corn and cotton. The scoring will be on
the basis already established by the de-
partment in the boys corn club COM

Government in Control.

THE government through stock owner
| ship controls the principal railways with
a total merged mileage of over 5000
under the name Of the National Railways
of Mexico. This word national means
something, just as after the civil war the
word Union Pacific meant something in
binding together in an indissoluble union
the eastern and western sections of the
United States.
1T is too early to state positively as
to the probable wisdom of government
partnership in' railways for other coun-
tries. Thus far the National Railways
of Mexico. managed as a private corpo-
ration, with government representation
on the board Of directors, are singularly
free from that political interference in
ago on the Intercolonial railway of Can
ada. which is owned outright by the
Dominion government. Among the mov-
ing spirits in this comprehensive merger
have been President Diaz, of course or
as the Mexicans call him, Don Porfirio,
Minister of Finance Limantour and E.
N. Brown. president of the National rail-
ways. Mr.. Brown is an American civil
engineer and with his associates is a
large contributing factor to the contin-
ued independence of Mexico. The rail-
ways are the largest developer Of that
necessary middle class l have already
mentioned. The barefoot peon of twenty
years ago now draws the wages of
skilled railway laborer, a conductor. an
engineer a fireman, a brakeman, a me-
chanic. The subordinate officials and
foremen are now many of them Mexicans.
and in another generation all will be.
Problems Being Solved.
"One of the problems has been to re-
tain the American skilled labor, like con-
ductors and engineers, and at the same
time develop the native talent. Mr..
Brown has quiet way Of meeting these
difficult questions in thoroughly prac-
tical manner and may be depended upon
to continue working out a satisfactory
solution. The point to bear in mind
ways are doing a work of practical soci-
Ology incalculable in value to the future
welfare of the republic.
THE physical condition of the rail-
ways and their equipment is excellent.
The circumstances have developed
splendid lot of officials. practical. all
around men.
of investments in Mexico, it must not
be overlooked that the English. the
French. the Germans, the Spaniards and
other foreigners are also heavily interest
ed This cosmopolitan condition auto
nlatically produces an equilibrium which
makes for commercial and political sta
billty. The German is the best mixer
of all. He not only learns the language
and accumulates the coin but he marries
the senorita and grows up with the coun-
try. At the other end of the scale is.
our fellow American who too often is in
clined to know 1t all and to insist upon a.
method that on analysis may prove in
ferior to that of an old and proud
people,"

Norman Nack's Successor.

IT is early, but already there is talk
about the right man to conduct the next
democratic national campaign. Should
he come from the east or the west, the
north or the south? Should he be a
Bryanite or Clevelandite. or a man who
while those two ties were contending kept
himself discreetly in the background?
Should he be a politician with a pull in
business circles or a business man with
a pull in political circles? Should he be
a personal friend Of the presidential cam
didate and practically chosen by him, or
a man recommended by his general alert
ness and success and accepted by the
candidate in Difference to the judgment of
others?

The Cumberland Mystery.

The Cumberland poisoning mystery an
pears to be as far from solution as ever.
This case presents unusual aspects. A
young man and his fiancee, on the eve
Of their wedding. apparently without a
cloud over their happiness, are suddenly
stricken with death. Post-mortem ex.
aminations reveal the presence of one of
the most deadly poisons known, which
Is not difficult to obtain and which can
be easily administered. As far as the
testimony has shown there were no signs
about the bodies Of the means whereby
the poison was taken. 1t may have been
contained in fruit cake of which the
victims ate shortly before. 1t may have
been In the chewing gum which. was
found in their mouths. 1t may have
been administered in drops given to them
by some unknown person. A small boy
has asserted that, peeping through a
window, he saw Twigg and Miss Elosser
raising their hands with glasses in them
ready to drink. His assertion Is, however,
uncorroborated and is apparently dis
credited AT the inquest medical testi-
mony was offered TO the effect tina,
