TEXAS SULPHUR.

Texas is destined to play an i'm
portant part in the production of
sulphur for the worlds consumption.
Beginning on Nov. 10, 1912. sulphur
in paying quantities has been mined
from the Ffeeport Sulphur company's
new field at Bryan Heights, near
Freeport, Tex.
This latest large deposit to be work
ed for commercial and industrial pur-
poses is located about three miles
from the mouth of the Brazos river
the largest navigable river west OF
the Mississippi, and within view of
the gulf of Mexico. These sulphur
deposits are practically located at tide
water.
The sulphur at this mine is found
under conditions very similar to those
existing in Calcasieu parish, Louisi-
ana.
The area of the Texas deposit is
something over 600 acres, and the
sulphur content of this mine is prob
ably somewhere in the vicinity of sew
enteen million tons.

ANOTHER FAKE REFORMER.

By the absence of any word of ex-
PLANTATION or denial of the serious
charges of infamous practices brought
against him Governor Sulzer con-
demns himself. He has allowed the
charges to go too far to permit of
escaping the penalty, if not impeach-
ment, torture in the pillory of public
scorn. By political manipulation and
the control of sufficient number of
votes in the legislature he may be
able to hold his office, but he cannot
escape, the finger of scorn that will
face him wherever he goes.
The work of undoing the governor
may be laid at the door of his politi-
cal enemies, but whatever the source
the evidence is against him and his
failure to even attempt to deny it
gives it the color of truth. Under the
circumstances, the most graceful thing
Governor Sulzer could do would be to
resign.
If the charges be true Governor
Sulzer has brought not only dis
grace on himself, but he has done
much to injure the cause of reform
in politics. The outcome, however, is
not so surprising. Governor Sulzer is
not different from any other alleged
reformers in politics. The louder the
cry against dishonesty and crooked
ness the more dishonesty and crooked
ness is found in the person posing as
reformer who gives utterance to
such cry This condition has been
found in SO many instances that the
people are awaking to the fact that
the so-called reformer in politics is a
shame and a snare.-Pueblo Chieftain.

PUBLIC INTERESTED IN
RAILROADS IN ALASKA

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. H.
Inquiries concerning the Poindexter
bill for government operation of coal
mines in Alaska have demonstrated
widespread public interest in this
plan, which may later be shared by
the members of congress. Just at
present the bill seems to have no
chance of passage, because the idea of
government ownership has not been
written in the party platforms. The
senators and representatives are will
ing. if the administration requires it,
to vote for government-owned rail-
road in Alaska, but beyond that point

sCRAPPED.


We are sorry for Sulzer of New
York. He was u picturesque char
acter so long as he remained at his
depth. He dressed in odd attire, talked
ike native CT the Bowery and gio-
ried in his cid ways and seeming ia
dependence.
But he fell from grace the moment
that he accepted nomination for
governor of the Empire state under
false pretense.
He was protege of Tammany. At
the time Tammany was in more than
ordinary disgrace and the state, out
side of New York, was resentful of
the Murphy domination. So it was
arranged in advance by Tammany
men that Sulzer should appear as an
enemy of Tammany; he made speech
es declaring against the boss and the
organization. If elected he would dd
so-and-so to the organization.
Avowed enemies of Tammany hall
accepted his professions and they SUP.
ported him openly, while Tammany Sc
cietly also supported him, the lat
ter in the belief that after election
he would return to the wigwam. This
was Suffers intention, no doubt; but
he was carried out in the anti Tam
many wave Immediately when he took
office, and he could not recover him
self. The journals which had been
fighting Murphy took possession of
him; he was escorted to the delecta-
Bile mountains and shown the prom
ised -Washington's executive
| mansion.
Meanwhile Tammany's chief got in
sistent that Sulzer obey the behests
of Tammany. For a brief time Sulzer
sought to carry water on both shoul-
| ders, with the inevitable result. He
had to decree on which side his bread
was buttered. He fell out openly with
his organization.
Then Sulzer began to feel the i'm
pact, the crushing force of the Muir
ply machine that rules with iron grip
the greatest city on the continent. The
strength of Tammany reached far and
near and Sulzer the world knew
nothing about was revealed. A Tam
many legislature is about to deliver
to the state executive of the great
commonwealth the finishing blow. A
sordid story, surely, but one that has
its moral!
Neither in politics as it is played
in New York, even, nor in every
day affairs can person play double.
| Sulzer was a Tammany creation.
He ought to have been honest with
the people and himself. If he de-
sired to break with Tammany he
should have done SO openly before he
permitted Tammany hall to nominate
and help elect him. The end never
justifies the means if the latter is de-
ceptive.
Those who upheld Sulzer in his
fight, which was at first sham and
later reality, and those who en-
couraged him to break with Tammany
have deserted him and now there is
none so poor as to do him reverence.
False with Tammany-bad and all as
it is--false with all.
By the way, what has become OF
Folk of Missouri, man of promise
in his day? He did a foolish thing
one time when he permitted political

lief that he was with the machine.
