Fort Worth, Texas, March 20
The announcement that the Texas
Welfare Commission would discuss
the production and marketing OF
cotton has been received with APP
probation in all sections of the
state, Especially has this been the
case In the chief cotton producing
counties. Communications have been
received from farmers in the great
cotton growing counties of Hill, Ell
lis and Williamson, manifesting
great interest In the discussion.
One prominent cotton planter said:
Your commission could not have
undertaken a greater work than the
consideration of the cotton indus

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE.

Men who advocate soeialistic
measures ought to fight within the
socialist party, and not seek honors
at the hands of the democratic par

outset of his address in Farmers

Applying that same logic to Col.
VOTERS, why is it that he does net
fight within the republican party?
The free sugar bill passed the
house the other day by a practically
unanimous democratic vote,

If protection is democratic doc
trine then have we all fallen from
grace, except Judge Rice Maxey OF
Sherman and a few others who are
advocating the tariff and opposing
democratic legislation. But the Wa
CO Times Herald does not seem to
think much of the democracy of the
protectionists Reviewing Judge
Maxey's recent declaration of politi-
cal principles that paper says: 1.-THE
war is over; sectional bitterness Is
allayed. Mr. Taft took a Confeder-
ate soldier and a democrat and
made him chief justice of the SUI
preme court. Nothing sectional can
be charged to the Taft administra-
ton. Then why should not men who
agree with that administration on
subjects go to Mr.. Taft's
Judge Maxey, were he
PRESSED for an expression, would, We
believe, admit that he is more in
Igreement with VIM. Taft than he
s with Woodrow Wilson. Try to
