specializing on fruit. The fruit
growers who took the course were
particularly seeking information at
first hand on how to make more
money out of the crops they grow,

that brought higher prices on the
markets than the old favorites, Bald

LIVING ON DEAD MEMS BONES.

graphies, stories, reminisen-
ces and anecdotes of the
great and the near great, written by
those who, sometimes, were mere
hangers-on to the ''illustrious
dead"
There isn't anything much sorrier
than the man OF woman who COM
mercializes the memory of departed
friend and who sells it at so much
per line or per volume.
We are always interested in the
struggles and the achieved efforts of
those who have made good, fought
the good fight, and passed on.
1t is a privilege to read of their
overcoming difficulties-it helps
those of us who read to meet and
overcome ours.
But there is a petty, back-stairs
brand of typed gossip which depends
for its sale on the idle curiosity of
those who buy and read it, adds moth
ing to the memory of the dead and
frequently cause anguish to the liv-
ing.
After the death of king, cour-
tier or courtesan, there is a rush
into print by those who, having been
identified with 1.-The late" in any ca
pacity from gentleman-in-w waiting,
to butler, are anxious to capitalize
their memory of what was done,
said, eaten or worn by their sub
ject.
This sort Of thing has existed in
Great Britain for ages. The British
dearly love royalty and all that
smacks Of it, including its scandal.
For this latter there are penny
shockers'' which are the greatgrand
daddy's of our American yellow
journals"
This last class of newspaper is
largely responsible for the morbid
taste which has been cultivated of
late years by our reading public.
When the son Of the poets Brown
Ing published and sold the love-let-
ters Of his parents, the literary
world was shocked. The book sold
with an aVidity that greatly pleased
the publishers and probably rejoiced
the soul of the son who CONNER
cialized the sweetest, tenderest and
most sacred expressions Of his par
expressions which, it is sup
posed, they expected no other eyes
ever to read.
When Dickens, Thackery, and
Wilkie Collins died, there were
foods of ink which covered every
thing from the way each wore his
hair, to the style Of boots each
bought, the sort of 'joint" which
graced the family table and the
tipple each took or didn't take.
Edgar Allen Poe died penniless,
in a charitable institution, with not
a soul about him who cared enough
to see if his body was decently clad
and yet, what reams have been
written, at so much per ream, Of
those who commercialized their
memory of his failings, his shabbi-
ness, his failures and his weak
nesscS.
A Southern man founded a paper,
and had he lived, it would have al
ways possessed a charm for South
ern people which would have assured
its success. His stories and his
poems had whimsical charm that
placed them in class alone He
died and his periodical fell on hard
times.
Some of US thought it would have
been better to have let it die and be
a sacred memory-but there were
\ others who tried by commercializing
the sentiment which surrounded the
memory Of the dead writer, to

prOnC by what the dead man HIM
self would have scorned to have
profted by.
How easy it is to ignore all the
opportunity for helping the strug-
Cling author while he lives. What
simple matter to add to the clack of
the geese who decry because they
cannot understand.
How much less irritating to listen
politely while the earnest reformer
is trying to explain-and forget all
when you leave his presence.
But afterward-when he dies
with what eagerness do we dig back
in our memory for all we know.
Did he ever speak to us PERSONAL
ly?
With what gusto we write it down
for future generations to read
Did he actually shake hands with
US, and have We by any good for
tune the identical hat or glove we
wore at the time?
That in itself is worth at least
four or five dollars.
His hopes, his aims, his plans, his
sacrifces-did we take any part in
those, while he lived?
Maybe not, but if we can write en-
tertainingly of it; if we can call to
mind the patient suffering during
the daily crucifxion; if we can
commercialize his agony after he is
dead, what matter if we did shout
'Barabbas" with the rapbIe when
he was trying to preach a gospel of
helpfulness?
Living on dead mems bones, and
refusing to help, in life, the man
whose memory we so eagerly cher
ish-fOr consideration.
Is there any way one can bring
before the thinkers, the real need
of helping the man who has tried
for SO many years to build, alone,
an organ for the poorest and the
humblest? Who has pleaded for
years, for the poor and the ignor-
ant? Who has spent his health and
his substance, and who has entailed
sacrifice, not only upon himself, but
upon those nearest and dearest to
him?
If there could be found a way to
do it would be glad.
Helping others-he was forgotten
himself-but with what Joy will
those whom he has helped, rush
into print" to tell of his greatness,
his kindness, his brilliancy, his
plans and his hopes.
But of his ts-his
sorrow at the unresponsiyeness and
the neglect of those he tried to help?
That's another story, and not so
popular nor so "well-paying" as the
other.
Dead mems bones-would that
their fruits would be as tasteless
and as proftless as that o.. the Dead
Sea.
A new wrinkle is 1.-THE pantry ex-
hibition" and it sounds good, any
way.
The European Turks have gotten
it just where the American turks
will get it in a few weeks.
The results of the boil weevil

The deadly cigarette seems to be
as deadly as ever. A Macon man
used gun to accelerate the cigar

of them was the Wilson leader i'm his

For the dictatorship at Laredo there
are several applicants, among them Ar
chic Parr. the Duyal County Democratic
leader. There is another applicant at
Cotulla and another AT Laredo. Mr..
Parr was no a supporter of Governor
Wilson prior to the Baltimore convcn-

yesterday AL the probabilities are an

charge Of customs collections at Laredo
after the expiration of Collector Haynes
term.
The return Of President-clcct Wilson
to the United States from his outing i'll
the Bermuda Islands about the middle
Of December will very probably be fol
lowed by visits Of prominent Texas Dem
ocratS To Princeton and Trenton. The
dismissal of prominent Republican Fed
cral Ot1iccEoldcrS by President Taft has
brought the question Of patronage much
nearer home han they nad been anticip-
ating. Nobody, apparently, expects nom
nations made by Mr.. Taft now To be
confirmed and that condition of affairs
would mean Mr. Wilson could start the
slicing of the Texas pie OF March IF
he elects 10 do SO.
It is expected both Senator CulbcrsOn
and Scnator-clcct Sheppard will visit

THE FIGHT on GARNER.

If appears that Congressman John !.
Garner of Texas is not to become chair
man of the Ways and Means committee
without opposition. IN fact the opposi-
ton has already begun. 1t does not como
from democrats, but from protcctioniSts
1t finds expression through the columns
of the Washington Times. which is own
ed by Frank Munsey, who is also a large
stakeholder in the bull moose party.
Mr.. Munsey's paper brings against Mr..
Garner the grave charge that he OWLS
more goats than any other man i'll the
world. For WHICH good and manifest
reason Mr.. Garner is said to be opposed
TO free raw material. desiring protec-
ton for his enormous flock Of goats.
Mr.. Garner owns no goats, but that
is a small matter with the bull moose
protectiOnist organs. 1t was necessary
to invest him with goats in order to
show that he is not diSintercSted in his
opposition to the free raw material alb
surdity, that would throw the gates wide
open to the manufacturer to buy his ma
terial and protect the finished product.
If the congressman from south Texas
cannot perceive the injustice of a Sys-
TEN like that, he is not the sensible man
his constituents take him to be. Never
theless he is no bOltcr. He has consist
emily voted with his party on all the
great measures before congress in his
time. 1t will not hurt him greatly with
his constituents, nor with his fellow
democrats in the house, when they oh
serve that the opposition to him for
chairman of the Ways and Means com
mittee, comes from protected interests
and their friends.
