The Proof of the Pudding, AS to Bryan

At Dallas, Texas, is published a weekly pa
per, Ihe Dallas Democrat, by Mr.. j. c..
McNealus. 1t appears that Brother Mac not
only edits this paper, but owns it. And when
he stoOps to write editorials for it, he is SO
fearful his stuff NAV not be distinguishable
from the other stuff In his paper that he signs
his full name to his stuff. Which, after all,
may be wise precautlon.
In recent number of his, paper, Brother
Mac goes after me, good and proper. He says
L am ignorant as to Bryan's record on direct
elections of u. S. Senators by the people He
cites a speech that Peerless made in Congress,
in 1894, in which W. j. B. came out forcibly
for the direct elections of Senators.
But does that one solitary speech prove that
bryan was right, when he recently claimed
that he created the sentiment on this subject?
MIR. MacNealus is presumably Texan:
does he not know that Congressman Crane,
Of Te10s, led the fight for the direct election
of Senators, taco gears before B1yam had
opened has mouth about 1t?
[ was present, and a member of the House
(1892-3) when Crane, of Texas, tried to get
his bill passed.
He had introduced measure to amend
the Constitution of the United States, so that
the people could elect their representatives in
the highest lawmahing body On earth. He
was uoilS HIS DeoC 10 nave the House adOpC
1t. This was III the summer of 1893 Bourke
Cochran, Democrat, and Tom Reed, Repub-
Hcan, united to oppose the bill. Crane, after
gallant fight was defeated. If Mr.. Bryan
gave him any aid, l do not recall the fact
and he was there. We Pops had told Crane
that he could count on our support.
Now, why should Texas editor attempt
to transfer to Bryan the credit which belongs
more equitably to Texan! If speeches in
Congress created the sentiment on this sub
Ject, why put the Bryan speech in 1894 ahead
of the Crane speech of 1898?
AS a matter of sober fact, the sentiment on
this subject was reflected, not created, in Con-
gress. Public sentiment never is created in

EDITORIAL NOTES
By J. D. WATSON

II E price of sugar has advanced from 5
~ents pound to and 1-2 cents pound,
and the Sugar Trust had the cheek to make
this advance in rates while our little Hard
wick's committee was supposed to be boarding
the lion in his den.
When the extra session was convened and
the Democrats announced that they would
send investigating committees after the trusts
the Steel Trust and the Sugar Trust in par
ticular-the country wondered what would be
the result
The people already had general idea what
the trusts had done-how the Sugar Trust had
written the tariff schedule to suit itself under
the second Cleveland administration, and how
the Steel Trust had gobbled up the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company during the Roosevelt
administration, to rid itself of it's only danger
Gus competitor.
Mr.. Stanley of Kentucky was made chair
man of the steel investigating committee, and,
by some hook or crook known to certain poll
tlclans our own little Hardwick was put at
the head Of the sugar investigating commit
tee.
The committees went to work months ago
Stanley after the Steel Trust and our Goliath
after the Sugar Trust.
Goliath's first work was to chase the ghost
of the late Henry o. Havemeyer around
graveyards and tombstones for weeks. Then
he got on another tack and went after the
Sugar Trust to ascertain how much it had
contributed to the campaign funds.
And he established the astounding fact that
the Sugar Trust contributed $4,000 to the
Harrison campaign fund in 1888 (about the
time Tom Billie was running around in knee
breeches) and because Harrison would not let
the Sugar Trust have what it demanded but
here the investigating committee got cold feet
and Goliath called them off the trail
The discovery of the Sugar Trusts contri
button Of $4,000 to the first Harrison cam
paign was about to ring out the fact that be-
cause the Sugar Trust could not get what it
wanted from Harrison, it contributed $4,000
to the Cleveland campaign fund the next time
to beat Harrison.
And this would have brought out the dis
graceful deal-the $4,000 gave the trust,-the
deal by which Cleveland and Carlisle let Sen
ator German write the sugar schedule of the
tariff just as the Sugar Trust wanted it,
Even those Of us who were children at the
time remember what Cleveland's second ad-
ministration was-how Cleveland, Carlisle
and German were denounced by the members
OF their own party for allowing the Sugar
Trust to write the sugar schedule-how the
Cleveland administration was denounced for

A FRENCH VIEW OF AMERICA.

The harvest still remains the fore most consideration of the United States Enormous as the development of general industry in America has been, agriculture still plays the great. CT part, and good harvests with fair prices continue to be the most effec- tive of stimulants for American prosperity. That the traces of the 1907 panic were so promptly ob- scured, if not effaced, was due to the Tact that agricultural prosperity reigned in the west and south. The other economic factors seem not at all unfavorable. The financial situa- ton has been rendered fundamentally wholesome. A premature boom was tried in 1909, with last years depres- sion as a result. Since then, however. matters have pursued a normal course. Prices of commodities have moved rationally. Foreign commerce has recovered from its unnatural debit balance of 1909 and both exports and excess of exports for the past twelve months are likely to break all records, and of such a favorable bal ance on foreign account the United States had abundant need.
 All things considered, and with the reservations that crop weather shall not prove destructive and that 10 effort at going ahead too fast again be made, the outlook for the financial United States is satisfactory miste Francais.

NEW USE FOR CACTUS.

It is the seeming order of nature that. when the necessities of life which depend in large degree upon natural lsources become scarce, na- ture furnishes a substitute, and cal amity is averted. Now that the al- leged calcimine trust has added to the cost of living by raising the price of whitewash materials to the ulti- mate consumer, nature, in her usual kindly fashion, intervenes to circum- vent the monopolists.
 It has remained for Colonel Fred erick W. Goding, who represents the United States at Nontevideo, to make a discovery which will pale the faces of the constituencies promoters of the calcimine corner, without the ap- plication of their own product. While on a tour of observation in Uruguay his attention was attracted by the fine white color of the farm build ings. He found that to obtain this neat effect a whitewash was used which was made from the sliced leaves Of the common cactus, mac erated in water for twenty-four hours, producing a solution of creamy consistence, which after lime is add ed Is well mixed. The consul IS authority for the statement that when applied to any surface, be it wood, brick, iron or other material, a beau tifui white appearance is produced which will endure through storms and frosts for many years.
 Inasmuch as this valuable process has not been patented, this beautify- ing paste Is open to makers of beauty lotions. interior as we'll as exterior decorators, and legislative and other committees which may deem a neat and lasting cost of whitewash desir- able. - Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

(San Francisco Star. ]


 Don't git discouraged with the children too easy Lots of times the calf that butts the most makes the best milker.
 Theys sech thing es believin' too much in proverbs. I knew a man that b'lieved barkin' dogs didn't bite, an the doctor charged him five dol lars to cauterize his leg.
 Good advice ain't good if it don't apply. It ain't any use to tell a man to make hay while the sun shines if he ain't got any hay.
 We used to know a farmer by the hay in his hair, but now we know him by his automobile.
 Right now while aeroplaning is young is the time to fix things so the air can't be captured by any com bine.

MINE OWNERS BELIEF
 OF COMING TROUBLE
Thinks IL WEI Reach a Head at Time of Mexican
 Elections

c. B. Bell arrived yesterday from the Agua Buena mine in the Naco- zari country, where he is engaged in producing some excellent gold and silver ore, which is coming out regularly to the Copper Queen smell ter in this city. 4 carload of ore arrived at Agua Prieta yesterday from this mine. MT. Bell tells of a recent labor trouble at his mine when a number of his men went on a strike. T. was not the desire cf all the men to quit. but those who struck intimidated the others until it was impossible to continue the work for several days. The strikers succeeded in doing considerable damage to the hoist and other ma chinery.
 Finally sir. Ben sent for the CO misario at Pilares. who on his ap- pearance ordered the men either 10 return to work or leave the camp, and his orders were obeyeG by all except those who had shown a Gis- position to te loyal to Bell durinS the disturbance
 Regarding the conditions in Mex leo Mir. Bell is of the opinion that there is more uneasiness and dissat- isfacdon now in that country than there has been since the revolution ended, but he expects to see every. thing come out all right after the elections next month.
 e MT. Bell will remain at his home in this city until he gets the re- turns from the carload of ore which he accompanied from the mine.
