The recent federal census report
given out on the manufacture of wool
en- goods serves to illustrate the value
of the factory to a community. The
report shows the cost of the raw ma
terial manufactured in the United
States was s27S, 466, 900 and the value
added by the factory was SAG, 100000.
1t is production that makes a country
prosperous, and dollar produced at
the factory or the mine has as much
prosperity in it as the dollar produced
on the farm. Texas needs factories.
When its vast mines of wealth have
been opened the Lone Star state will
take its place as leader industrially
and commercially, and as a producer
of wealth never to be displaced and
without fear of dangerous coWpeti-
ton.

criminal offence for a newspaper to

eral interest by this ban on the
license OF the press. We do not think
that suicide should be put in the same
class of unpublishable crimes, and we
do not think that the law should draw
the lines too sharply In the regulation
of the newspapers: but it must be adj
mitted that a little less crime and a
little more of something else would

money on every crop, the average
value of its cotton crop ran from

AFTER THE MAGAZINES.

There appears 10 be a combination in
restraint Of trade among the magazine
publishers. and civil and criminal pro-
ceedings have heen instituted in the
United States Court in New York.
John Thomas Wood who does a general
subscription business at No. l Madison
Avenue, has sued the Periodical Clear
ing House for 100000 damages for
having conspired to ruin his business.
Last year he did business to the amount
Of $4,000: but because of the wrong
full acts of the defendants. he finds that
his business has been wrecked. de-
stroyed, and he is unable to carry out
his existing contracts Among the Sc
rious charges raade by Mr.. Wood is
that the Periodical Clearinghouse has
passed resolution that no subscrip-
tion agent may take more than five
cents profit for subscription on any
periodical. and that for each case of
misca lcuiati Of the rates arranged by
the Clearing House, or of rebates by
the publisher, the agent will be fined
$50 for each magazine Worse tina n

this, another resolution adopted by the
same criminal Clearing House is a fine
OF $500 for any violation not covered

that the Clearing House has fined him
