speech, Then Sheppard went and got
himself elected to the senate, where
the speech is mostly soporific and
saponaceous and nobody ever thinks
Of tumbling around IN .oratorical aero

that enyelops the sacred senatorial at
mosphere When Sheppard used TO put
on the tremulo stop and immortalize
well. il was some occasion in the
house and the laughter and tears swept
the audience and the galleries.
Il was a sad occasion when Shep-
pard departed for the comber dignity
OF the senate He had a monopoly Of
the language stuff in the house. No.
body dared TO dispute his sovereignty.
He was there. Representative John
Wesley Gaines who retired to dear old
Tennessee in 1909, tried It for while,

Stanley is the Star
Singer Of the House

Stanley get busy there the other day
debating currency. Stanley wears the
crown Of the late departed Sheppard
now. He'll probably continue to til;
it over his ears Sor some time He
came darn near beating sheppard's
best little fragments.
He started out to tell the Republi-
cans what he thought OF Representa-
tive Mondell, a Republican, for hay-
ing the nerve to eriticise the Demo
cratic secret caucus methods. Then
he pulled out that wavy-yoiced stuff
and proceeded thusly
1t would be better to have some
crimson courtesan lead modest maid
ems in paths Of purity; better some
escaped convict pose as the arbiter
and censor for honest than to
learn OF freedom from this, the most
object apostle and most subservient
slave Of Uncle Joe Cannon ever had. =
Mondell sat kinda hunched up in
his chair and felt not so darn comfort
able as Stanley went on, soaring away :
by his prompt obedience to any
command, by his silence under the
lash, by his quick defepse of any kind
OF gag the gentleman has attained an
enviable eminence-andh here, with the
mari Of his servitude upon him be-
fore le hair has grown enough to
cover the marks OF the collar upon his
neck, before the imprint OF the shacklc
is effaced from his wrists and his
ankles and before the echoes OF his
voice have died in this hall, where but
lately he defended every Republican
outrage. he arises here to lecture Dem
ocrats, forsooth, about independence.
The Democrats in this program an.
swered to a call; you obeyed the goad
driven into your quiyering flesh
There was a whole lot more of it,
but the sample suffices- Stanley gets
the palm.

TEXAS MINERALS.


The Texas coal fields have long
attracted the attention OF Uncle Sam
and he has given the world many
glowing accounts Of their possible
ties in his geological reports. but the
best evidence Of value is the product
taken from the mine.
There will be on display at the
State Fair Of Texas at Dallas. Oct.
18th to Nov. 2nd, exhibits Of the
more important products.
Practically every mineral known
to the geological world is found in
Texas, and we produce thirteen min
erals IN commercial quantities. Ac-
gording TO the United States Geo
logical Survey, the mine value Of our
available coal supply exceeds the
Census Bureau valuation Of all the
farms Of the United States, includ-
ing their equipment, BY ten billion
dollars and is worth fifty times the
value Of the worlds cotton crop Of
1912.
The first mineral production OF
record in Texas WIS in 1852 and
since that time product, valued at
s227 100000 have been taken from
our mines and wells. The mine val
ne Of the output for 1919 was 800

The important mineral products
in the order Of their mine value are
as follows; Petroleum, Ss0O1 900 ,
