/ do not think 1t fair to say
that LaFollette is a champion OF
labor, any more than champion
of capital. He is for justice. His
record in constructive statesman,
ship shows this. He Is for the
rights of property-THE REAL
RIGHTS.
And he believes that A MANS,
RIGHT TO HIMSELF is the most
sacred right of property. And this
right involves his security In all
he produces by his labor. LaFoi-
lette may be reckoned as the
friend of any property Lincoln
would befriend.
i suppose every railroad en-
pIoye knows that to Senator La
Toilette he owes the 16-hour law
which prevents the company from
working him until he drops. La
Toilette thought 1t was not well
for the public that railways be
operated by men grossly overwork-
ed. and that in the end 1t was not
well for the railways grossly TO
overwork their men.
The law in Wisconsin, prior to
1880, made railways liable to en-
ployes injured while at work II
free from negligence themselves,
even though the accident may
have been the fault of a fellow
employe. But among the things
the railways did with their old
corrupt legislatures was to pass a
law repeating the "fellow-servant"
law.
AS result injured railroad en-
ployes were almost without rem
edy. The courts construed the
law strictly against them. LaFol-
lette, in two legislative fights-in
the first of which he was beaten
by the railway lobby-got this
changed. His law did away, too:
with the rule of assumption OF

time, had a bureau of labor, and

Because of a question as to the
legality Of appropriaung additional
funds to those appropriated in the

ing of the new administration last
spring, Commissioner r. r. Reynolds
asked yesterday afternoon that the
matter Of transferring $500 out of the

department in the best manner it will

CONSIDER CONNECTION MEASURE.
Mayor Schriver's motion for the
consideration of change in the ordi-
nance governing the making of water
main connections was adopted unani-

that connections may be made after

inspector and the deposit of fee of

shall inspect the completed work. I'm

agreeable. The ordinance will be up
for final consideration next week.

In Texas. the Kingdom of King Cotton

My two years experience in the
Kingdom of King Cotton" has taught
me to look upon Texas as an unique
state in many notable respects. Con-
sidered physically, educationally, econ
omically, socially and especially cot
tonicallY," the Lone Star State is more
than unique.
In size, diversity of climate, variety
of products, and magnitude of Democ-
racY, Texas eclpses every other state
in the Union. 1t is more than eight
hundred miles from Texarkana to Ell
Paso, and nearly as far from Amarillo
to Brownsville. While you are crossing
the state from east to west or from
north to south, gong at the same speed
you could go from Oakland to Chicago
back to Oakland again, and still have
almost an hour to drive over to the Park
and back.
In climate we find a gradual gradia-
ton from the binding life-destroying
bllzZard that sweeps down from the
Rocky mountains, across the Panhandle
and the Amarillian Plains, melting into
mist as it approaches Fort Worth and
Dallas, to the orange orchards, palm
groves and perennial summer of Calves
ton, Corpus Christi and Brownsville.
Crossing the state from east to west we
pass from the region of the excessive
rainfall of the lower Mississippi to the
arid regions of Lubbock, Pecos and FL
Paso, where a good rain is as great a
luxury as the election of a Democratic
president
The people of the eastern and central
parts of the state look upon West Texas

Of one Of the old fashioned fishing par
ties at Sang Run by both old and young
of the citizens of Hoyes, about fifty in
all, dinner and supper were both served
before the return trip was made. The
dinner we think was good enough for a
king and consisted of coffee, bread,
butter, fried chicken, roast corn, toma-
toes, plums, jellies, cakes, and too many
delicacies to name, We feel assured
all enjoyed themselves and are sorry to
think this may be the last one of the
season.
Some of our Younger set who are fond
of curios, went on an exploring expedi-
ton to Sang Run Cave one evening last
week. We are sure they were we'll re-

glowing account of it, Those of the
party were Misses Oscie Casteel, Ola
