Gophers are unusually numerous this
summer and their destructive effect are
noticeable in many fields. Would it not
be a wise plan for the county to furnish
poison next year and compel its use or
every quarter section of land? In case
the owner is a nonresident let the
county administer the poison and charge
the cost up as a special tax. No other
method seems thorough enough to DIES,
troy this pest.

A Civilian Reyolutiopist.

The most remarkable fact in rela-
ton to the successful revolution in
Mexico is that it was led by a civilian.
Madero had had no military experience
or training whatever until he assumed
the title Of general" and took up arms
against the Diaz dictatorship. Until
two years ago he was a planter. but
he was educated in the United States
and in Europe. He had travelled and
studied books. men and institutions.
After his return from Europe Il few
ernmental conditions in Mexico which
disturbed Dictator Diaz and placed
the authors own life in jeopardy. Ma
dero. being a thinker rather than :;
fighting man. perceived that Mexico
was not a republic save in name. but
was really a military oligarchy ruled
by a president who had usurped i'm
perial functions.
Many other men in Mexico were
aware of this situation, but Madero
who is only thirty-seven years of age
was the first who dared to combat the
existing regime. His first method OF
combating it vas to u for the presi.
dency himself, but Diaz clapped him
into Jail. Madero probably did some
more serious thinking while he was
incarcerated. Shortly after he got out
the revolution began. 1t was impossi
BILE to think a revolution into success
This mild young civilian turned his
thoughts into bullets.
Mexico was overripe for revolution
but lacked a leader until Madero APP
peared. In exactly six months the
thirty year imperial dictatorship was
overturned. the dethroned dictator was
fleeing for Europe and the entire fabric
Of the government was being made
over. The other day Madero, nationa
hero, entered the capital Of his country
He did not go in, as did Diaz in 1876
at the head Of a conquering army. III
entered as the acclaimed hberator o.
his people, hundreds of thousands o.
whom greeted him with cheers, literal
ly strewing his route with flowers. Thu
whole story constitutes n OF the mos,
interesting romances OF history, and Il
10 unique.

A Common Sense Suggestion.

A protest is registered in a statement
given out by the National Association
For the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis against the existing condi-
lions in congress which require meas
ures concerning public health to be re-
ferred to q committee on commerce.
The association also makes a plea for
a new committee IN public health in
the house Of representatives similar to
the one now existing in the senate.
The national association in its state
ment supports the committee Of one
hundred on national health in its asser-
ton that under the present division of
committees, owing to the large num-
Der of measures before the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce,
public health matters do not receive
the attention they deserve. The state
ment says that hogs, cows and steel
rails receive much more attention than
the most vital Of all measures, public
health and the prevention of disease.
At present. the anti-tuberculosis work
ers declare, no committee in the house
has any direct responsibility for health
legislation. 1t is therefore suggested
that a new committee be formed SINH
lar to the one in the senate.
This suggestion certainly seems to
be born of common sense. It appears
ridiculous to the ordinary observer
that matters relating to public health
should be handled by a committee in
tended for the consideration of COM
mercial problems. Committees on pub
lie health in each house of congress
should be able to do much valuable
work along the lines Of disease pre-
vention. 1t is high time that this vital
movement, which is growing every
where, be formally recognized by CON
gress.

The Value of Vacations.

While there are exceptions to all
rules. the man who boasts that he
never took u vacation in all his life is
apt to be a cash squeezing automaton
with clabber instead Of blood in his
veins. Marcus M. Marks, a man Of
large affairs in New York, an earnest
worker for civic betterment, wrote re-
Gently:
"There are many busy men who brag
of never having taken a vacation. In
stead Of being proud of their continu-
GUS industry, they should rather be
ashamed of their vicious absorption.
for an occupation becomes a vice when
it completely possesses the soul Of a
man and occupies all his time and
thought. The vacation habit is not an
extravagant one. On the contrary.
proper vacations are Of decided eco
nomic value. Vacations brighten a
man. They tend to make his work
more attractive to him and to make
him more attractive in his work. They
give him a reserve supply Of strength
and patience which is bound to bring
a net profit. 1t must be conceded that
a man can in the long run do better
work in ffty-one weeks each year than
he can in ffty-two weeks Of steady
employment"
ALI work and no play undoubtedly
makes Jack a dull man. Whether you
work for yourself or for somebody else
you should insist upon getting out Of
the rut of routine employment at least
a week or two every year. preferably
in the summer. when the great out
doors beckons. The rest. the recrea-
ton, the change Of scene and environ
ment, will make you a better man or
woman physically. mentally, morally
and spiritually. You will be able to do
more efficient work when you return.
You will gain a broader outlook on
life. Vacations pay.

The Widows Chance.

A Billion Dollars for Factories.

Texas needs billion dollars for
factories. The amount seems large
but it would require an immediate
investment of that amount to man
ufacture the raw material now being
shipped out of the state and we
nave only one-ffth of our land under
cultivation and our minerals are
practically untouched.
A good way to encourage factory
investments in Texas is to patronize
home industries. Home patronage
would result in flooding our pres
ent plants with orders and would re-
quire additional factories to take
care of the business.
Texas is today the most inviting
field on the globe for capital and
when our opportunities are under
stood and our citizenship ready to
welcome factory investments by pat
ronizing the products, we will ex-
perience no difficulty in securing
factories.

From the London Saturday Review.
Three hundred and twenty thousand
soldiers were enough to guard Che rty-
er frontiers and to 1keen the naaca..
to patrol and police from Chester to
Assouan, from Tangier to the Eu-
pirates. No popular risings ever sought
to upset the Roman protectorates or
even to alter it's fundamental laws.
The secret lies probably in this: A
society, certainly as a whole quite as
civilized, as refined, as well educated
as III own today, had reached by q
sort of tacit covenant a socialistic
constitution which gave it entire sat
fsfaction. There were other interests
than the petty duties of s~erf-govern-
ment; the idle man, like Ovid or Hor-
ace. reiofced in his leisure and wrote
verses; the busy man sought a post
in the emperor's service, whether mil
ftary or civilian, and rose by certain
stages of promotion to influence and
wealth; the rich patron of a borough
could exercise his libera1ity in building
in his native town, in feasting the
guilds n In enjoying his frresponsi-
bic yet pleasant precedence; the client
and slave knew that while In theory
the old father-rfght and despottc farn-
lily usage left them unprotected the
emperor would step in to avenge any
grfevous wrong; the philosopher and
| the Christian missionary could travel
hither and thfther without passport or
| peril to carry his message of werni..
or consolation.
When the task of government and
police was SO willingly taken up by the
emperor n his men, why should any
one interfere with the scheme 81 al.
mirable, a division of labor SO entirely
in favor of the subject class?
