A good rain today broke the

seemed to be big rains around US

amounting to almost cloudbursts
and doing considerable damage

of a long dry spell, but the need
ed rain came and will help the
growth of vegetation very much
and increase the growth of our
fields. The wheat crop has been
garnered and some part thresh-
ed. The largest yield so far re-
ported has been thirtyseven bu-
shells to the acre. Such yields
pay the farmer for his labor and

Gov. Harmon's Remedy.
BY LEO.
BY LEO.

BY LEO.
Naturally enough, the Cover
nor of the state is much con-
cerned about the bad condition
of things. And especially, be-
cause the wrong-doers at this
time are mainly members of his
own political party.
In his Fourth of July oration
at Detroit, Mich, he spoke of
things in rather a free spirit for
him. He is very mincy when
rebuking the wrong-doers about
him, but at Detroit he seemed to
be more outspoken than usual.
We must think that the political
mess at Columbus had worried
him much.
What remedy did he proposeF
The remedy comes under two
: heads, namely, the speedier ad-
ADMINISTRATION of justice, and COM
7 pelling accused public servants
of the state to stand examina-
tion at court.
The laws delay is condemned
by all thinking men. President
Taft speaks of it as one of the
great faults in the administra-
ton of justice. Other jurists'
have spoken in condemnation of
the same fault. lOur own Gov
ernor falls into line and pleads
for speedier administration of
law.
The affairs in the courts at
Columbus is sample of the
things condemned. How long it
took to convict Diegel, when his
guilt was obvious. And after
his conviction an effort is made
to secure him a second trial.
And to decide the question Judge
Kinkead takes four weeks to
study and announce his decision.
And again, there seems to be
no good reason for putting off
the trial of the bribe-taking SEN
ators until September. :Other
people work hard during the
summer months and courts OF
Justice should take no long sum-
mer vacations, when matters OF
so much moment are pending.
Why not try the alleged bribe-
takers at once and end the bad
business promptly?
Then again, defending counsel
A,e allowed too much liberty in
obstructing the course of justice.
1t is well to defend alleged GRIM
inals so far as to allow no injus-
tice to them, but obstructing the
machinery Of courts in order to
defeat the end of court admins
tration is all wrong. Harmon
said that we show too much len
iency in dealing with alleged po-
litical offenders. This is true
everywhere in our country. The
good doctrine that a man is pre-.
sumed to be innocent till proven
guilty is woefully abused. 1t Of
ten happens that men obviously
guilty are treated as if the state
did great wrong in trying then
for crimes. And thus wrong
doers get off without much pun
ishment.
Our courts need reforming.

PRESIDENT KIRKPATRICK GREETS DEL
EGATES IN AUDITORIUM, TANNED
BY COOL BREEZES
ELOQUENT ADDRESS OF WELCOME BY MR.. CARSON
Tribute to Work of Agricultural and Mechan-
cal College in Response oy Hon. E. w.
Knox, of San Antonio

Cool~and fair weather marked the
opening of the fourteenth annual ses-
son OF the Texas Farmers Congress
I'at A. G. M. college this morning. The
association was called to order by its
president, Hon. E. w Kirkpatrick, of
Mckinney, who spoke briefly of the
gratifying results of past cooperation
among the farmers of Texas and urged
upon them further enthusiasm for mu.
tual effort. II
When Judge l.. Cough, of Hereford,
had delivered the invocation the con-
gress was formally welcomed to A. &
NJ. college by John NJ. Carson, Jr, its
treasurer who extended the freedom
OF the grounds and buildings with a
tribtue TO the ideals and achievements
of the college, which, he said, belongs
in peculiar sense to the farmer. In
dustry, he continued, is essential to
life, trained intellect is essential to
profitable industry, and such a college
as this is essential to the training OF
intellect A glance at the list of A. &
M. graduates successfully pursuing in
dustrial careers for which they were
fitted here demonstrates the worth of
this kind OF education. The farmer
realizes from it in innumerable ways.
1t is evident now that Horace Greeley
was right when said "the cotton plant
is gold" for everywhere in Texas the
cotton man is in the agricultural sad
die developing above all others this
branch of Texas resources. And yet,
he added, the great bulk of our cotton
must go elsewhere to be made into
cloth Until Texas cotton is converted
into Texas cloth within the borders of
the state the people of the state can
not realize upon their own natural re.
sources as they should. He pointed out
that the same condition obtains in
nearly every industry in Texas. out
siders reaping a large part of the
wealth that rightfully belongs to
Texans.
To obtain this wealth, he concluded,
only trained men are lacking. Texas
should not rest content until her vast
resources are developed to their ut
most by sons of Texas whose intel
lects have been trained for their work |
in Texas institutions such as A. & NJ
college.
Hon. Z. w. Knox, of San Antonio,

vice president of the association. re-
sponded briefly, thanking the college
for its continued hospitality. while
1t is true" he said, that the college
belongs to the farmer, it is nonethe-
less a pleasure to him TO be vel
coined to his own year after year, lust
as the busy husband never tires of
being welcomed home night after night
by his smiling wife and children.
Mr.. Knox referred to the standing
of A. & NJ. college and the thorough
ness of its work by quoting an official
of the Southern Pacific railroad who
had told him that among all the en-
ployes of that road graduates of A. &
NJ. showed more initiative, endurance
and all-round ability than any others.
In closing he urged the separation of
the college from the state university.
The congress then listened to the
annual address of its president. which

extension OF the line from Shelburne
Falls TO Colerain, They are also Of
the opinion that only one of these

get the line built from this city. The
construction Of such line would be
a marked benefit to the commercial
houses Of this city

PENSION LAW CHANGE
Improvement in System Credited to
Hon T. J. Deavitt Of Montpelier

The Mortified News prints the fol-
lowing Washington dispatch and com
ments.
"a radical change under the pen
sion law-the doing away with vouch-
ers in the quarterly pension payment
resulting in saving about Sl,O0O,0OO an
nually by the governments beneficis-
aries who will avoid notary and other
fees is advocated by Commissioner OF
Pensions Davenport and a bill proyid-
ing for the change will be introduced
in Congress soon. Commissioner Da-
venport proposes that the check be
made out TO the pensioner and that
there shall be two witnesses TO the
endorsement, which it is declared,
will accomplish what the voucher has
done heretofore.
THE credit for originating this
idea undoubtedly belongs to a Yer
monter. Hon. T. Deayitt of Mont
pelier who has had large and sue
cessful experience in handling pen
sion matters in the interests OF de-
serving applicants first advocated the
check plan of payment of pensions
in a petition to Congress April 1903.
This petition was sent to Senator
Page with a request that it be printed
in the Congressional Record. The
measure was introduced in the Sen
ate and 1t was referred to the proper
committee without however being
printed in the Record. 1t brought
out considerable comment in the
newspapers of the country mostly OF
favorable nature.
"Mr. Deavitt followed 1t up the next
year with an open letter to the press
and not a few congressman expressed
themselves as favorably impressed
with the practicability of the idea.
Commissioner Davenport, however,
stood pat. The present system had
prevailed for 40 years. The News
does not anticipate that Mr.. Deayitt
will particularly object to the commits
sioner receiving all the glory for the
change, providing the change is made
and the worthy pensioners profit
thereby to say nothing of the large
saving of expense to the government.
Mr. Deavitt however is undoubted'
ly entitled to the credit of having or
iginated and urged this measure be
fore a reluctant pension department.

death AVENUE" BILL PASSES
Senate Approves Measure to Make
Thoroughfare Safe

Albany, May 5.-The Senate yester-
day by vote of SO to 4, passed the
so-called death avenue" bill which
seeks TO compel the city of New York
and the New York Central railroad to
bring about an arrangement for elm
mating grade crossings on Eleventh
avenue, New York City within six
months.
The measure was supported by its
introducer, Senator McManus, who ap
pealed to the body TO pass the bill so
as to stop the wounding and killing
of persons. He said there have been
two thousand victims in the last ten
years.
Senators Bracket and Human OPP
posed the bill on the ground it invol-
YES a violation of contract rights, that
it is properly drawn and that the dis
pute between the city and the rail
road is now in the hands of the court
of appeals.

SMALL GOLD PIECE is TO GO
MaoVeaeh Wants to Retire Two and
a Half Dollar Coins

Washington, May 5.-The two and
a half dollar gold piece which has
long been a favored coin for watch
charms and Christmas gifts, but not
for circulation, may soon become OBJ
solete. Secretary MacVeagh contem-
plates asking Congress for authority
to stop its coinage.
Even in California where gold circu
lates almost TO the exclusion OF paper
money. there is public disposition to
shun the little coin, so easily con
fused with dimes and pennies to the
loss of the owner. Each year the
minis have been coming new ones for
the Christmas demand, but no one
seems to want an old one, so they
pile up in the treasury vaults.
