POLITICAL COMMENT.

From the Boston Globe.
It's time for the moving picture men
to rush their machines to Juarez.
From the Baltimore American
Does Senator Root recall what the
force bill did to the Republican party
twenty years ago?
From the New York Mail
William H. Taft has done the biggest,
and perhaps the boldest, thing in his
career in negotiating the reciprocal trade
agreement with Canada.
Prom the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The Missouri State capital. which
burned the other day, was built in 1898,
and it is an open secret that a new one
has been needed ever since 1889
From the Richmood Times-DisTatch.
We are sorry that the Congress has
adopted San Francisco as the site for
this exposition, because it lies at the very
edge of the continent-the jumping off
place-whereas the great city on the gulf
is by actual measurement nearer to the
Isthmus of Panama than any other port
on the Atlantic or gulf coast.
Frum the Philadeiphia North American
II it be true that President Taft has
served notice on Congress that there
must be a vote on the reciprocity agree
ment with Canada at this session or he
would call an extra session of Congress
almost Immediately after March 4; and
If President Taft does not weaken and
trim and modify his ultimatum, he will
have taken a long step toward regaining
the respect Of the people.

A DIFFERENCE.

Up in the air ] sail away
Over field and hill,
Looking down on the earth below,
Where all is quiet and still;
The wind comes brushing against
my face;
The propeller vhirrs around;
It's fine as long as you're in the
air,
But what IL you hit the ground!

Texas Wealth.

| John H. Wallace, of Dallas. Tex, who
| is at the Arlington, in speaking of the
natural resources OF Texas, said last
night: Texas ranks sixth in the lumber
industry of the United States and second
in the production of yellow pine. The
amQpnt of hardwood in sight is enor-
nous, and the consumption is compara-
lively slow. Many mills have been forced
to shut down on account of low prices
and an oversupply, and as refOreStatio
starts in quickly after the trees have been
cut down there is not much alarm re-
gardinS the future of the lumber indus
try.
Another source of income in Texas is
the pecan nut" continued Mr.. Wallace.
The pecan is a native of the eastern
part of Texas. and large Quantities of the
nuts are shipped out of the State every
year. Two hundred carloads of nuts from
the wild pecan trees is considered rather
a short crop, and the revenue from this
source is considerable. This yield is from
the native forests and Is obtained in spite
of the fact that a considerable percentage
of the valuable trees have been chopped
down and burned to get rid of them in
clearing land.
The evident adaptability of the soil and
climate to pecan culture has led to a sys-
tematic effort to introduce improved va
rieties of the cultivated nuts. The trees
require from seven to ten years to ma
ture, but when they reach full size the
yield is heavy and the farmer has little
TO do except harvest the crop. When
fully grown, some of the native pecan
trees are larger than oaks. The crops
from such trees are heavy. but it is not
often that the big trees are of the best
-arietieS
