ANOTHER SUGAR BELT MOTOR
CAR HINT.

After Mr.. Yoakum has madeta trip
through the Valley. Improvements of
some kind usually follow in his wake.
Better railroad service helps devel-
opment, and development helps our
business men in the Valley.
While Mr.. Yoakum is with us, can
not our Chamber of Commerce take
him out over the Piper Spur line,
and show sim what has been done,
and what can be done with that par
ticular strip of territory to develop
the Brownsville Country. If the
MatamOros motor car can be COM
Wandered for the trip, Mr.. Yoakum
would probably be convinced that it
void be profitable to have the
schedule of that a changed. so that
one or two,trips daily could be made
down to the end of the Sugar Belt.
This would promote picnic excur-
sions. to say nothing of the benefits
TO residents of that section and to

SOME EDITORS.

Oklahoma editors are much in the
limelight these days. One is is Jail
charged with numbering a oma
who was an employe on his paper.
Another, who is also justice of the
peace, has the legal department up
in the air. through his exercise Of
judicia | authority. He got into
some trouble and then, being quick
on his mental feet, he had himself
arrested by his constable,
opened court, tried himself and on
a plea of guilty assessed a fine of
$25 and thirty days of hard work on
the roads. After putting in one day
on the roads he paroled himself.
Later, a rival justice issued a war
rant from the other court and ar
raigned the editor-justice on the
same charge. Now the states legal
department is trying to unite the
knot. In the meanwhile, the editor
has good front page copy every day

Some Political History.

Regarding the republican party
being wrecked" it has been so, on
evidence Of this kind, SO many times
in the past that it should % be
quite used to the experience. In
1884 there were many to say thai il
could never recover from its defeat.
A nearer analogy to present condi-
tions existed in 1880. Then, too,
there was a bitter fight over a third
term candidacy. The party was torn
into two nearly equal and very bitter
factions. As Senator Hoar remarks
in his autobiography, it seemed as
if the fate of the republican party
were trembling in the balance. The
democrats were confident that Conk-
ling and Grant and their indomitable
3O6 would make Garfield's election
impossible. Yet he won easily.
Again in 1892 there were dire prog
n~ostications. The republican party
was said to be forever done. When
the news came that Cleveland had
carried Wisconsin and Illinois and,
practically Ohio, a veteran republic
can said: This is not an election;
it is a revolution; and the republican
party as we have known it will
never carry another presidential
election" 1t did, however, carry
the uext four.
1t is also true that the republican
party has before had presidents upon
whom the doom had been pro-
nounced that they could not possibly
be reelected. Even Lincoln believed
for a time in 1864 that this was true
Of himself. 1t is, of course, an easy
and natural graduation which takes
us from Lincoln to Roosevelt, and
memories are so short that ii will
be a surprise to many to learn that
in 1908, there was grave doubt
about even the invincible hero win
ming the presidential election Of
1904. This was in part the basis
of the strong movement which was
set on foot to nominate Mark Hanna.
Roosevelt knew Of this and was
Troubled by it; and as it was Hanna,
at that time, not himself, who was
the sphinx and would not say
whether he would seek the nominal
ton, the president considered the
position of the Ohio senator both
suspicious and unfair. One day III
the White House, Roosevelt-so it
is stated in the recent Life of
Thanksgiving from his chair,
walked nervously to the open fire
and then back to his desk, saying
in his emphatic way: Yes, Mr.. Han
ma ought to make an unequivocal
public statement Of his position y
Possibly, Taft may have said the
same thing Of Roosevelt all through
1911 and up to February of this
year, Hanna, however, kept OBJ
s~tinately silent, and there is no tell
ing what he might have done had
he not fallen i'll and died. But the
effort to have him nominated instead
of Roosevelt went distinctly upon
the theory that the latter could not
! be elected.-New York Evening
Post.

of the captain He also believes that
there should be a warning signal to
passengers to notify them of an acct
dent and that all ships should be
made to follow the southerly route
during the icebergs season.
These suggestions are very good
ones and Congress should see to it
that they are embodied into laws and
then those laws should be enforced.
Had there been such rules of naviga-
ton and conduct of ships only few
weeks ago, the Titantic catastrophe
would never have occurred. That ac-

COMMON SENSE SUGGESTIONS

If reforms suggested by the Sell
atorial Investigating committee are
embodied in laws by Congress, the IN
vestigation of the wrecking of the IL
tanic will not have been in vain.
And there is no good reason why they
should not be incorporated into laws
for they are essential and arc found
cd upon common sense.
Senator Smith, chairman Of the III
vestigating committee, will recon-
mend that passenger ships be con-
setrlcted with double bottoms extend
ing up past the waterline so as to at
ford greater protection to the vesse
in case of collision. At present the
water bottom extends up only fe"
feet on each side of the ship and pro
tects the ship only in case she goe;
aground.
Another suggestion made by the
Senate is that regular life boat drills
be held by the crews of all ocean
liners, with permanent crew stations
lust as is done on warships IN the
United States navy. He also recon
mends that the ships be equipped witt
searchlights aud that binoculars ,b'
furnished the lookoutS for their use

ELECTRICITY AS CURATIVE.

Electricity was formerly the mystic
remedy of the qusck, but since cleo
t11cal apparatus has become 30 essen
tial for X-ray work, more serious at
tention has been given by regular
physicians to the physiological effects
OF this powerful agent Among the
notable results has been an electrical
method OF arresting the degeneration
Of the arteries so common In prema-
ture old age. A new announcement 10
that Of DR.. Labordie. French medical
man. who gives details Of method
Of treating sciatica by tonization with
sodium hyposulphite, and shows what
appears to be an effective cure for a
painful disease. The effects are at
tributed in this treatment to sulphur
oxide from electrolytic decomposition
instead Of the direct action OF the
electric current itself. A thick layer
OF absorbent tissue saturated with q s
per cent solution Of the sodium hypo-
sulphite was covered over q piece OF
tin as the negative electrode, which
was placed on the rear Of the thigh
over the sciatic nerve. The positive
pole, wet with water, was put in con-
tact with the calf of the leg. The pa
tient had been unable to use bis legs
for ten months, but after ten sittinss
OF forty minutes he could walk q mile

A GREATER THIEF THAN MAN.

General Indignation was telt by the
people of Virginia yesterday when
they received the intelligence that
sevcnty-fve or eighty priceless manu-
scripts, the State papers of Washing
ton, Jefferson and Lafayette, were
about to be sold at auction in New
York. These papers were once, if they
arc not now, the property of the State
of Virginia, and seem to have been
taken away by some wartime thief.
They are worth thousands on the col
lectors' market, but their value to
Virginia cannot be estimated. They
constitute some of that great and
priceless collection of manuscripts
preserved by the Commonwealth as a
part of her splendid history. Whcth-
er they can be regaincd by legal pro-
cedurc or by purchase is a question
vet to be determined; while, as mat
ter of ordinary law, the title should
be in the State as much now as when
they were taken away, the fact that
they were taken when Virginia was
not part of the Union may have an
important bearing in the matter.
Yet a greaterthief than man men
aces the manuscript collection of the
Virginia State Library, which, with
the exception of that in the Library
Of Congress, is the most valuable in
the nation. There are documents,
pamphlets, newspapers and books in
our great State collection that cannot
be redupicated on the face of the
earth. Our records largely cmbody
the history of the nation. They are OF
national Importance. Yet, as State IL
brarian II. r. McIlwainc says, Gin the
care taken in the preservation of re-
cords Virginia is not only years, but
decades and even centuries behind the
enlightened countries of the world"
Fire menaccs all this priceless prop
crty of the people Of Virginia. For
our collection, no tirc-proof provision
has been made, and the risk is very
great. All the insurance companies
in the world could not compensate us
for the loss of this collection; millions
nor billions could not replace 1t. New
York in 1911 lost her State Library by
fire, and Virginia thereby has been
warned.
In the face of all the warning that
experience and men could give it, the
last General Assembly of Virginia re-
fused, after repeated pleas, to appro-
pirate $500 to secure this collection
without price from fire and destruc-
ton. 1t was but mite that the State
librarian asked, and it is known of all
men that of all the department heads
WHO come before the Legislature ask
ing appropriations, he is the most
modest in his demands and the most
appreciative Of the States financla
condition. The General Assembly, or
the other hand, voted $500 and fa'
commissions to al officer whose Of
fee is unnecessary: it voted $5,76C
for six Capitol policemen; it refused
to collect thousands of dollars into tn
State Treasury given away to fee of
ficers, but when it came to protecting
from fire the records Of Virginia, /
would do nothing. Time may prov
this to have been criminal negligence
it is already established that such in
competence and wilful disregard o
public duty was the leading charac
teristic of General Assembly whlcI
did more for the State by its ending
than it did by its whole existence

Young is a modest, quiet gentleman,
and his only boasts are these:

in the famous Blue Grass region, lived
up to the Kentucky boast and accom-
plishment of having learned to ride
before he could walk.
AS youth only IS years old he left
