We are again reminded that Con-
gress will hurry the tariff bills
through. This indicates the sincerity
of the free traders, if it does not
prove their practically. They are
eager to have what they sincerely be-
lieve to be relief measures passed as
quickly as possible, SO that those
whom they believe will be relieved will
benefit as soon as possible. That all
the advocates of free trade are "a
yoring a 10 wtariff because they be-
lieye that by so doing they are help
ing the needy and the poor, no zane
mar can sincerely deny. We may no.
agree with their measures, but the
sincere free trader must agree with
the sincere protectionist. They are
both what they are because they be-
Iieve what they believe to be right.
Their paths are different, but the
same honesty directs their steps.
DR.. Friedman has sold the United
States rights of his tuberculosis sc.
run to a large wholesale drug firm
for $4,000 in cash and $1,SOO,OOO in
stock of the thirty six Friedman in
stitutes to be organized throughout
the country. Assuming this to be
true, it is also equally true that the
drug firm has purchased these rights
either because of the serum's real
value as a cure, or because of its
value as a quack. An honorable COM
pany would not stoop to the latter, and
probably the government would not
allow it. We therefore believe the
first fact to be the melting one. We
believe that the company would be
an amount for the quack which
would be much more than the prom
ised profit, since the government will
very soon report on the quality of the
friedman serum.
The government report should be
published as soon as possible, be-
cause many anxious hearts beat sick
ly fast waiting for the momentous
decision of life or death for them.
Representative Laurence Stringer,

Commission, for a cut in those duties

Why Japs Are Understood.

Every one is eager to add to his
fund of information concerning the
Japanese, and there are not many lay
men who can tell why the laps are
understood Japanese surgeons have
made measurements of their army,
which show that the smallness of the
stature is due entirely to the almost
dwarfed condition Of the legs, This
is 70 doubt due to the fact that from
childhood the Japanese practices an
unnatural way of sitting upon the legs.
When a Japanese child is old enough
10 sit upon the floor his legs are bent
ander him. This in time dwarfs the
growth of the limbs. Actual deform-
ity is less common among the peas
as than among students, merchants
and others OF sedentary habits. There
is no doubt the coming Japanse, who
are rapidly acquiring Occidental Gus
toms, will change this habit of sitting
upon the feet.

THE TEXAS INDUSTRIAL congress
EtETH ANNUAL CONVENTION
WILL CONVENE ON DEC. IL.
One Hundred and Sixty Prizes, Az

Texas Farmers.

Dallas, Textile Texas Industrial

made the best showing OF net profits
in the years competitive crop pro-
duction, there will be given to the
winners the honor badges of the con-
gress.
The most highly priced decoration
of the British military and naval serv-
ices is the Victoria Cross, a small
bronze Maltese cross made from metal
taken fro mthe guns captured in the
Crimean war. The cross bears the in
scription, For Valor.' Two are
given every year to the soldiers or
sailors, if any have been recommend
ed, who have shown the most self
denying bravery in INTELLECTUALLY in
rescuing the wounded under fire.
Everybody in the army and navy is
eligible, from the humblest mule
driver or deck-hand to the command
ing officer. The cross is worth in
trinsically probably as much as 30
cents, but it has been the means OF
enriching the annals of the British
service with deeds of heroism through
the call it makes for self-forgetful'
ness for the general good.
The badges of the congress are also
emblems of honorable achievement;
and while no risk or life has been i'll
volved, they stand for pluck, persist
ence and painstaking carried to the

NEW TEXAS LANO LAW HELD VALID
Recent Enactment to Set New Value
on Forfeited Land in Texas
Held Constitutional.

Austin, Textile State supreme
court in an opinion written by Judge
Nelson Phillips Wednesday held con-
stitutional the act of the Thirty-third
legislature, known as the land reap
praisement act. The act provided for
the forfeiture of lands purchased
from the State for nonpayment of in
terest and the privilege of the original
owner to repucchase within 80 days
-at reappraised value by the board OF
land appraisers created under the act.
Under former act repurchase was
possible by application for reinstate-
ment having been filed and rendering
of all accrued interest. 1t was by this
provision that the case came to the
supreme court in the case styled
Frank A. Judkins VS.. j. T. Robson,
land commissioner Application for
mandamus was filed to compel the
land commissioner to allow Judhins
the repurchase of his land under +.ne
original act after he had filed appli-
cation with the board and reappraise-
ment of the land showed an increase
| in value of one dollar per acre. The
commissioner refused to allow the re
purchase, and in the original appica.
| ton for mandamus the constitutional
ity of the act was assailed, but an
amended petition dropped the ques
ton of constitutionality from the pc
tition.
The court, in passing on the act
said: sit is the plainly expressed in
tent of the act to extend to FORGETTING
owners of lands described, distinct
and additional remedy for reinvesti
ture of such title as was possessed
under the original purchase from thu
State. The effect of the act is to at
ford the FORGETTING owners the priv
leges of reappraisement of the lant
and its repurchase at its new valua
ton The title, however, may be re
acquired under the act only by it
purchase at such valuation and thi
of itself precludes the idea that j
may be reacquired by reinstatement
at possibly different valuation a
provided under article 1923"
The petition for mandamus wa
refused.
1--WE do not think this enactmen
can be properly characterized as
relief act" the opinion continues
, THE act does not relate to any az
QUESTION of the title except upon tn
: full performance of the purchase obi
gation-nor does it involve extensio
of any indulgence for the Performance
of the obligation.
Tested either by its provisions c
its necessary effect the act is not VII
latiye of the constitutional provision
5 We think that the act at best onl
, gives the previous owner the prefe
/ ence right to repurchase the land, an
> under the established holding of tn
! court, a statute of that character
5 not prohibited by the constitution.

BRITISH CHAMPIONS OF MONROE DOCTRINE
An Endorsement of American Policy
Voiced by Lord High Chan
ceIlor at London.

London.-The Thanksgiving dinner
of the American Society Thursday was
noteworthy because OF the pronounce
ment OF the British governments in
dorsement of the Monroe doctrine by
Viscount Haldane, lord high chancei-
lor. Three hundred and fifty Ameri-
can men and women with large num-
Der OF British guests were present
and they cheered Lord Haldane's
words repeatedly.
Robert N. Fairbanks, president OF
the society, proposed THE KinS," and
Lord Haldane proposed THE Presi-
dent of the United States
Il recently made visit to the Unit
ed States" Lord Haldane said, "and
came back not only with a vivid recol-
lection of the cordial welcome | re-
ceived, but with a deep sense of the
high ideals the British and American
nations held in common--the high
ideals of citizenship of the two coun-
tries"
Referring to President Wilson, he
said
Before he became president, Mr..
| Woodrow Wilson was thinking man
and moralist. In studying his ca
reer can not fail to be impressed by
his detached character and fined that
he has not ceased to be thinker and
moralist because he has become the
holder of great office. We see in
him the aspirations and ideals of his
nation expressed to the world. 1t is
not only his expressed declaration that
the policy of the United States is not
one of conquest or annexation, but
the world looks to the United States
with it's enormous position to carry
on its traditions without adding to
4 its possessions,
"That is our course also. Nor is il
the case that when the United States
intervene in any matter it is done fol
its own advantage. 1t was not the
case with Cuba, to whom the United
States restored independence. En-
gland itself has done the same thins
j in South Africa, where We gave back
liberty to those with whom VIZ
] fought"
Speaking of the Monroe doctrine, hi
said that the United States consider
| ed herself responsible for the libertie.
of the smaller nations of the Western
: Hemisphere. He could see what wa
} in the mind of the president of tina
: time-that the responsibility restet
! with the United States to secure goo,
> government and fair treatment TO
those countries.
r He interpreted President Wilson
Z policy to mean that the United State
!. was ready to accept the responsibility
Y of insuring good terms herself Il
: those countries and to those who wen
4 there, and that the United States ha
S set up high ideals of policy,
S II am not sure that any one shout
speculate upon the Interpretation c
that policy" continued the high char
cellor, "but have thought myself q
liberty to say what / have. 1t is tru,
Il indeed, that a high spirit and a hig
z aim have been brought into the polio
$ of the United States in it's dealing
. with adjacent countries and it is b
