London, Dec. AT the autumn con-
ference of the National Unionist AS
sociation, when the platform of the
Unionist Party was confirmed, it was
made very clear that should there be
a change of Government in the United
Kingdom, the task of forming the cabi-
net would fall upon the shoulders of
Lord Lansdowne and not upon Bonar
Law.
During the past few months, as all
the fighting has been in the House of
Commons, and attention has been at
tracted to that house more than to the
House of Lords, Unionists as well as
Liberals have come to regard Bonar
Law as actually, if not technically,
leader of his party, as well as of that
part of it which sits in the House of
Lords. At the conference, however.
it was Lord Lansdowne, not Mr.. Law,
who was chosen to make the impor-
tant announcements in regard TO the
policy of the party, a duty which in
variably falls to the leader of the
party. Mr., Law, it win be remeu-
bered, was chosen leader Of the MON
lists in the Commons when MI Raj
four retired but. unlike his predeccs-
sor, Mr.. Law was not chosen leader oI
the party. In the American sense be
is simply floor leader in the Lower
House, and he obtained that position
because the Conservative and Libera--
Unionist elements of what is known
officially as the Unionist Party could
not compose their differences and
elect either of their leaders. Austen
Chamberlain or Walter Long, to the
place. Bonar Law has not been a
great success as a leader, and there
fore the action of the National Con
vention in making clear that he was
not the leader of the party in the
country. Mr.. Laws direct manner
pleases and arouses the younger ele-
ment in his party. The great bulk of
the old-line Conservatives, however, |
prefer the old quiet style, of which |

WHAT EVERYBODY OWES.
Crowley Signal,


Every person who lives in a city
owes a debt to that city. His city
gives him opportunities in business,
social educational and other advant-
ages for his family and protects him
in his rights privileges and liberties
as far as the city has developed and
progressed. AS the city grows it ex-
tends to its citizens greater advant-
ages and opportunities, and the debt
we owe to the city is in compensation
for these environments. Looking at
the matter from a mere business stand
point, if we accept the premise of our
debt to the city, we would, of course,
assume that it Is our duty to pay that
debt, and the question arises as to
how this can best be done. By exem-
plifying some enterprise and energy
in devoting a share of our time to the
public service of the community in an
organized effort to stimulate and bet
ter trade conditions by the develop
ment of our markets, agricultural re-
sources, enhancing our educational ia
cilities and by our interest in every
problem and movement that will tend
for civic betterment. We can best pay
this debt by either becoming an &C.
tive member of a wideawake CONNER
cial body or by giving our best sup
port to that organization in its efforts
to better the town. We can all boost
in some manner.

WARNINGS WE'RE EFFECTIVE.
Precautions Early in Summer Were
Needed in This Country.

Chicago, Ill, Nov. 6.-Railroad men
have expressed satisfaction over the
fact that the forecasts made several
months ago as to a probable car
shortage at this time have not been
fulfilled. Encouragement is derived
from this condition of affairs, which
is looked upon as due in great meas
ure to the precautionary measures
both the railroads and shipping public
have taken as a result of timely warn
ings. Predictions last August, when
the attention of the country was first
called to the necessity for careful pre-
paration, were that the net car short
age in October would be 10000 cars
if the same rate of reduction in sup
plies of equipment occurred as had
taken place in 1908, 1909 and 1910,
while, in view of the greater activity
prevailing in business, the probable
reduction would be much greater.
The report made public by the
American Railway association should
exhibit the lowest ebb of the car sur
plus for the year. Statistics of the as

cline in surplus and increase in short
age for each year up to the last two
weeks of October, when the turn in

ing point, showed a net shortage of

ton of 10000 cars.

Santa Fe and Frisco interests have
been negotiating for the purchase of
the Orient has spread over the country
like wild fire. From several sources the
rumor has been accepted and aug
mented with circumstances that point
to its verification.
Here is a report sent to st. Louis from
Sweetwater, Texas:
While the report that the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe is negiating for
the purchase of the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient, which latter is now in the
hands of receivers, has not received
official confirmation there are circum-
stances which lead to the belief that
such transaction is pending and that
it will probably be closed very soon.
During his recent trip of inspection over
the Texas lines of the Santa Fe, Presi-
dent Ripley spent some time here in
which he made a personal investigation
of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient's
holdings in Sweetwater and he &C
quainted himself with the condition of
that road between this place and San
Angelo, as well as the northern division
that runs from Sweetwater to the Red
River.
TT is also stated in connection with
the reported negotiations of the Santa
Fe that the Frisco interests have made
an offer for the purchase of the Kansas
City, Mexico and Orient. Such a pur-
chase by the Frisco would give that
system line through a portion of
Western Texas which is undergoing
rapid agricultural development. The
Frisco already has lines running south
from Oklahoma to Vernon and Quanah,
Tex. To obtain connection with the
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient from
either Quanah of Vernon, only about
ten miles of track would have to be
constructed -

great bulk of the new cars will not

expected the crop movement and the
demand for coal will speedily reduce
the small equipment to the vanishing
point Railroads are making extraor-
