shot in his pantalOOns.
The Mission Times suggests a public
library for that pace" while we
have i library ~ the schools and the
different clubs are doing all they can
to circulate the hest literature that
the market affords it would be well to
have a pub ic library of some kind that
the visitor and prospective resident
could take Il few moment in the after
noon or evening and fccl at home Of
course we can not do al of these things

of the dairy business.
The Galveston News il convinced that
railroads violate the Sherman act daily
with the full consent Of the government.
BE ievcs the strict enforcement of the
law won d do the thing the law is in

The Sherman act tells the railroads
that they must not get together and az
rec on identical rates, but if they did
not do so VIZ should have diScrimiua-
items as between shippers and commun
tues that the interstate commerce act

sherman act is the widest miss ever

The Houston Post holds that Mrs.
Emmilinc Paukhursi is behaving ad
mirably since her landing Also She has
said things about which Americans ma,

THE agitation for woman suffrage
everywhere is the result Of forcing wo
man out INTO the pitiless world to make
her WI living. Selfish greed is at the
of this condition. Woman wants
suffrage that she may better herself in
the struggle for existence. She wants
the same leverage that the mae animal
in protecting himself form spoil
She is determined to have it
and she is going to get it. Nor are we a
woman suffragist-we think there is
a better way for her to secure the pro-
10 which she is entitled.
