THE MAN OF INDEPENDENT MIND

Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, was
a peasant. but in spite OF the handicap
of poverty his genius was recognized
nv people of the highest rank and ne
was often invited to social functions
to entertain the guests with his brill
liant conversation and lmproniptu
poems. On one occasion OF THIS KIM,
a very select affair, instead OF pelns
given a seat at the table with the
titled guests, he was assigned 10
Mace at a side table. Resenting the
discrimination and boiling with indlg-
nation. instead of eating his dinner, ne
snent the time composing one OF MS
hest noems. in the Scotch dialect, "A
Mans a Man for a. That" and when
the wine began to flow freely and ne
was called on he recited it to the as
tonished company. The spirit OF TINS
immortal poem is expressed IN the
sentence: The man Of Independent
mind is king of men for a that.
What a pity it is that all men nave
not the spirit of Burns. II they mao
all men would be free, for 1t Is lmpos,
sible to deprive the eternal spirit OF
the changeless mind" of its liberty
The man who can look up to heaven
and feel that he has no superior be-
tween himself and his God Is the only
free man; all others are slaves.
We call this a free country, put Is II
so while there are thousands VINO are
so servile in spirit that they acceep'
without question the ipse diXit OF
fraiI mortal like themselves because
he has impressed them with an eX
aggerated conception of his own trans
cendent Importance? To the man o
independent mind such servility is dis
ous+ing And this is not the worst o
II. If Is dangerous. and if not checked
will inevitably lead in this country al
II has in many others, to the over
throw of free institutions. Whenever
majority of the people reach the poin
where they blindly follow a leader
they do not deserve TO be free' AM
God. in His wisdom, has so planned
that they shall have a master.
But. thank God recent events ha"'
demonstrated that the American PEG
nle have not reached that point yet
wear ago grave and we'll grounded
fears we're entertained by true pa
triots that Theodore Roosevelt woul'
nrove himself the American Caesar
but his monumental egotism led MN
into errors which enabled many OF III
deluded followers to discover ina
their idol was clay.
MANY though not a majority, OF tn
neonIe of Texas are following Senate
Bailey with a servility as aoJect d
that of the infatuated disciples

Aristotle, who by his unsupported as
sertion that the orbits of the planets
were circles retarded the progress OF
the science OF astronomy for centuries
But brilliant and magnetic as he is,
he is not equal to the task OF fooling
all the people all the time. The end
of his career is at hand, and let us
hone that with it will come the end OF
hero worship in Texas.

TEXAS INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
TBy Commercial Secretaries. ]

TBy Commercial Secretaries
The commercial clubs of the state
are cultivating close relations with
the farmer. In many instances agricul-
ture is the leader in club work. Secur'
ing immigration, increasing produc-
ton, improving public highways ana
improving livestock has been part
of the work of clubs, and many county
fairs have been held where agrlcul-
tural products have been eXhiDlted
with satisfactory results, Dut the
beaumont Chamber of Commerce has
taken the lead in organizing the farm
ers of that section into an association
for the marketing of their products.
The price is the thing. The CONNER
cial clubs that can open up better
market for the farm products nave ac-
, complished as much as if they had Sc
cured a factory, for there is no pros
perity like that of the farm, and
commercial club can render no better
service to community than by CO.
onerating with the farmers in market
ing their products.
The Commerce Board of Trade and
the citizens of Commerce have pur-
chased several acres of land adjoining
the present campus of the East Texas
Normal College and the present dwell
ing will be removed and new brick
dormitory will be built; conserva-
tory of music will also be added to the
school at an expense of several thou-
sand dollars. The educational iacll-
tiles of the state are rapidly increas-
ing, and new schools and colleges are
being add. d to all sections OF the
state.
Fruit growing in Texas, which Is a
RAPIDLY developing industry, offers as
profitable a field for investment a,
fruit growing on the Pacific coast; and
the production of oranges, grapefruit
and early vegetables offers better op
portunities for money making thar
similar industries anywhere else II
the United States.
The farmer must pay the freight tC
the factory. and although his products
Imav cross the ocean, he must foot tnt
Ibill every mile of the way. BY moVlns
the factory to Texas, we move th'
market to Texas, and eliminate tn
cost Of transportation.

The inquiry has doubtless occurred
TO many, Was there a relation be-

THE DEATH SENTENCE OF THE WICKED CIGAR

New Invention Solves Problem Which Has Long Been

Grain and Other Foods

90 days, and thus there may be several
generations in the course Of a summer.
1t seems to be increasing rather rapidly
and is particularly serious pest in
the tobacco warehouses of the south, as
well as in Havana.
The cigaret beetle is by origin trop-
zeal bug. In this respect it resembles
nearly all of our indoor insects, includ-
ing the various species Of beetles and
moths which are such frightful de-
Stroyers of stored products of various
kinds. particularly grain and bread
stuffs. Apparently, in every instance
they were native at the start to only
small region somewhere. but, through
the medium OF commerce, have spread
all over the world. In cooler ATTITUDES
they manage to survive and prosper

buildings which are heated in the

Other Insect Pests.
Thus, for instance, the socalled Med
fterranean flour moth, commonly known
as the "scourge of the flour mill, :" was
not known until 1877. when it turned
up in Germany. In 1885 it appeared in
England, and half dozen years later
it began to be a nuisance in some parts
of this country. Since then it has spread
all over the United States, Its rapid
multiplication being due mainly to the
fact that northern flour mills are ar
officially warmed condition highly
favorable to the development of the
insect. The moth is gray with black
markings. and its caterpillar does i'm
mense damage by spinning silk in the
flour, which becomes lumpy and felt
ed" into masses Incidentally the mill
machinery is clogged, and has to be
stopped, often at a loss of thousands OF
dollars.
The Angoumois grain moth takes its
name from the French province in
which it first attracted attention, in
1876. 1t looks much like a clothes
