WHO is TO BLAME

It is natural that those who are
affected by the financial stringency
existing ct this time should endeavor
TO find O place where the blame for 1t
can be placed. 1t is also natural and
to be expected that in placing thls
blame many innocent factors will
come In for share Of the censure. II
may be thp: one feels the blame ex-
lists where Il most hurts the business
Of the man ur concern affected. For
instance II may be that the banker
will feel that the correspondent bank
which insists on It's paper being paid.
is largely to. blame for not being able
to extend the full line of credit to
customers who expect II. On the other
hand the farmer who has cotton to
sell may feel there would be no neces-
sity for the financial stringency were
II not that the banks insist ON pay
ment or paper due.
The feeling is general that almost
everyone is more or less responsible
for the cry of hard times heard all
around. Tie truth OF the matter is
that no one In the South is to blame
for the present crisis In, the business
world. It is just one of those tinfor-
tiinate things taat is upon us and can
not be "she,ss,,ssss..pr OF. True. In handling

HISTORY OF THE
ELECTRIC VEHICLE

While the electric car has been more
or less overshadowed and forced into
the background by the more rapid de-
velopment of the gasoline car, It is
rapidly coming into its own.
When Thomas Davenport, the Yer
mont blacksmith, developed the first
successful electric motor he demon
sarted that car could be operated
by electricity. In fact, Davenport
made models Of several such cars,
both for railroad tracks and road serv-
ice. However, Davenport's models
never actually grew into anything ma
terial so far as the electric vehicle
is concerned It is said upon good
authority that the first attempt to op.
crate an electrically-driven car on a
road was in France about 1887. For
the next seven years the electric car
was in the experimental stage In both
France and England. Inventors and
men interested in electricity and the
storage battery built a number OF such
cars. In America experiments with
electric cars were being made at Bos-
ton and New York.
In 1894 Jeantand, Frenchman,
manufactured commercial electrics,
one of which took part in the Paris
Bordeaux races, covering some 600
kilometers (375 miles, of the race
by frequent recharging. During 1895,
two electric storage battery vehicles
competed with a gasoline car built
by Charles E. Duryea, in a trip around
Chicago. The electrics were built by
Philadelphia battery company to
help in developing its business. They
made creditable showing, and in 1896
one Of the leading motor car concerns
of that time gave out the statement
that IL had passed the gasoline stage
and after several years of experiment.
ing had settled on the electric storage
battery as the best means Of furnish

SHORT SAY ABOUT THE slLo.

There is no longer question as to
the utility OF the silo. The only ques.
ton seems to be as to what make is
best to get, and how soon we can
get It.
As to the make. there are many to
choose from, with the number in.

lower price.

is a problem to get the "hllin'" into

THE OUTLOOK NOT BAD.

A careful diagnosis Of the world
= situation, and its probable effect upon
conditions in this country, and finally,
and what we are vitality interested in,
the near future prospects for this ter
ritory, leads us to take a very cheer
full view OF the whole prospectus.
When we stop to consider the i'm
mense wealth being added daily to
this country's already bullying treas
ury, and the fact that our immediate
territory has its full share, no real
cause for alarm exists. When a man
finds himself in deep water his first
thought is to struggle hard to reach
the land. Not for moment unneces'
sarily does he linger in the deep
water to add to his distress, but his
very danger adds to his energy. Why
not use the same logical tactics In a
business depression? "oh. but we
can't move our cotton, our wheat, our
meats" True for the moment but
the world must have H. and II each
will put his good common intellect to
work just as hard to work out plan'
as to discourage, means would be
easily arranged. The great construc'
tive factor is the abundance OF this
crop yield, greater than ever before
in our history. No matter how badly
men or nations may manage their al
fairs natures surplus is indispensable
and must work its stimulant. Only
productive labor increases wealth.
When six great nations cease pro
ducing. but must continue to consume
the remaining producers have nothing
10 fear in the finale. No amount oil
gloom can possibly obliterate the
glare that must finally break through
the shadow.

THEN AND NOW.

The democracies Of ancient times
differed widely from the democracies
OF today. In the ancient democracy
the ablest and best men were chosen
IN office. In the modern democracy
the mediocre or even the totally unh'
and unprepared are often elevated to
positions Of honor and trust.
But this fact does not necessarily
nroye that the ancient voter and SOW
ereign was wiser than the modern
voter and sovereign.
The ancient democracy, surrounded
always by unfriendly powers selec'eu
their wisest, ablest and best men 10
office primarily as a means OF SELF
preservation. The ancient democracy
was highly revolutionary in its time
for Il denied the world-old doctrine oil
the divine right Of kings Its danger
was from without.
The modern democracy, secure from
dangers without, has ceased 10 exer
else that eternal vigilance which is
admittedly the price of liberty Ano
thus it happens that UNIT men are
frequently chosen to office.
Our feeling of security has led &c
a condition of indifference. And this
very feeling of indifference, born oil
a feeling of security which our ancient
brother democrats could not nave
raised the question of the permanently

ENGLISH coNsoLs-BARoMETER.

On every occasion OF impending
political or financial disturbance OF
the first magnitude in any part Of the
world the first inquiry OF the inter.
national banker is concerning the mar.
ket value OF English consols, and this
is virtually the first quotation carried
by the cable from London to New
York every business day. One morn.
ing early last week the cable reported
consols as breaking to 60. a loss OF
2% per cent overnight and the lowest
price quoted in nearly century. To
the trained financial observer the fall
was as portentious as drop in the
barometer is TO the sailor at sea. II
indicated stormy weather. When the
fall in consols is accompanied by a
simultaneous rise in the English bank
rate, then the indication becomes a
certainty. II was Immediately follow
ing this conjunction Of events last
week that all the stock exchanges In
the world suspended business, some
thing that has never happened before

The election held last week for the
issuance OF $4,000 additional bonds
in the levee district in Burleson Coun-
ty opposite Bryan. carried with only
two votes against the proposition.
The bonds are for the purpose OF re-
building, repairing and enlarging the
leyee which was very seriously dam
aged in the food OF last December.
This leyee is intended to protect about
$4,000 acres OF as fine land as there
Is in the world, and II is to be hoped
the present work will accomplish the
ends sought and the levee will be so
strengthened as to withstand all fu'
ture floods and overfows. When the
levee was built II was made In size
and height to protect against an over
flow equal to the great 80 flood. the

posed by the Texas delegation in Con-
gress. They do not believe 1t practi-
cable nor feasible for the government
to loan money direct to the farmer,
taking cotton as security. They be-
lieve a better plan would be for the
government to furnish the banks with
money and let the farmer deal directly
with the bank. They believe this to
be the best and simplest plan. The
uulc lest, the most direct and freer
from confusion and complications. Ma
