THE MEXICAN FARM LABORER
IN TEXAS.

II there is any doubt that the Next
cans are taking this country in the
fields of day labor, let such one note
the number of Mexicans travelling at
all times on the trains and let him
note the number who will invade the
cotton fields a little later on. The
Mexican is fast driving the negro from
the labor jobs. He Is good worker
under certain conditions, where his
pay is measured by the amount of
work performed, as in the picking of
cotton. The Mexican is a nuisance
when drinking, but otherwise he
passes as shadow across the busy
mans pathway and quietly he goes
and comes Temple Telegram.
The white people are getting tired
of having to beg and humor the ne
groes, besides paying them extrava-
CANT prices for what little work they
can be induced to do. Each genera
ton of negroes is more worthless than
the preceding and employers will have
to look elsewhere for reliable labor.
Mexican laborers have some good
qualities which negroes lack, and
Mexican women when properly man.

Congressman Victor Murdoch, lead
er Of Kansas insurgent republicans,
who is delivering Chautauqua lectures
in Iowa, in recent interview said that
If Taft and Wilson are the nominees
Iowa will be doubtful state. Mr..
Murdoch gave no intimation that he
would not support Taft; he spoke sim
ply as politician who knows the
people of the Middle West, describing
the situation as it is, not as he would
like it to be. The significance of this
statement is evident when it is re-
membered that Iowa is second only to
Pennsylvania as rock-ribbed repub-
lican state.

The suggestion of the Temple Tele-
gram that the redistricting of the
state should be done by civilians who
are not candidates for office, is a good
one. 1t would be easy to provide for
a commission of disinterested business
men who would in a few hours divide
the state into districts of compact
form and nearly equal population.
Then we would have no more shame
less gerrymanders such as the poll
ticians give us.

.DEITY CAN NOT Be sTAGEp

New York. Aug. 3l.-The Deity can
no longer be represented on any stage
in New York, by act of the state legis-
lature. The law will be In effect after
today and-is so broad and comprehen-
sive in its provisions that it will inter.
tere with the presentation of many
plays, especially those by foreign
playwrights. In the opinion of Lave
yers, even "Everyman,' the famous
old English morality drama, can not
lie acted. as one of the characters Is
the Creator.
Plays such as La Samaritainep are
prohibited, and it is doubtful II even
those in which Christ is not actually
seen may be produced. In some
dramas Of the latter class the Chris
tian Savior is, indicated by a white
light and his voice is heard behind the
scenes. While test case will prob
ably be necessary, 1t is feared that
this may be regarded as a violation of
the law. The Passion Play" of
course, becomes impossible in New
York SO long as the present statute
remains on the books.
1t is intimated that even "Parsifal'
may be barred, for the law reads ANY
living character representing the Deity
or known by any appellation which,
by the recognized standards OF any
particular form of religious worship
or belief, indicates the Deity or is
reasonably referable alone to the

a prominent member of the Southern
Rice Growers Association the Texas
rice crop is declared to be of a better
quality this season than ever before,
though slightly lighter in quantity.
The exports of rice this year are not
expected to be as heavy as formerly,
as more of this product is now being
consumed in Texas. Texas offers ia
vorable inducements to rice growing,
and the climate of South Texas is
especially favorable to the production
of this cereal.

DO BABIES CRY LESS NoW7
This Man Is Told 50, and Has the
Corroboratlve Testimony Of
His Senses.

Being without knowledge Of my

ence; but they tell me that the reason
we see now fewer of those comic pic
lures of harassed fathers walking the
floor at midnight, or at 100, 90 or
500 a. m. trying to quiet crying In
fants is because infants don't cry now
as they once did.
They tell me that a new era has
come in the care OF infants and | am
ready to believe this from what | see
of babies In public places. Surely ba-
bies don't cry so much as they did in
the streets and In street cars and on
excursion boats and so on
There Is more peace in the world,
and more quiet, and am told that
the reason for this Is found in the
more enlightened care and attention
that infants now receive. They tell
me that In recent years there has
been a great advance in this respect:
that the infants not only OF the rich
but of the so-called poor as well are
now far more intelligently looked
after; that all small children now get
more air than they once did, and more
suitable and more nourishing food,
with the result that the babies are
better, stronger and healthier. liyelier
and iollier. less restless and uncom-
Portable and less disposed to cry; all
these happy things being due to mod
ern science and hygiene.
And If all these things are true as
! bel they are. the comic artist

gained blessing.

much laughter and talking coming

last ten years A crowd of their
friends had invaded the apartments
and transformed the chief room into a
replica of the country registrars Of
flee in which they had been married.
The guests were trinked out like vii
layers, and the garde champetre or To-
cal policeman was master of the cere-
monies Madame was laid hold OF and
carried off, and. despite her laughing
protests, was arrayed in her wedding
dress. Before sitting down to table
