man as overseer and the commercial

of teams and the men and teams
worked in divisions and worked with

be completed. After the roads are re-
paired they will be kept in condition

ionship in the lofty flight of the ca
gle, the myriad voices of the Wild
wood, the silence of the plains and
the purple mist, where Far, vague and
dim mountains swim, God is not
cannot be-absent" To one so at
tuned every place is an altar each
deed, from assisting the struggling
beetle to its feet to the highest service
rendered humanity becomes an obli-
cation reflecting that infinite love
which tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" Such a one is the subject of
this tribute-a man of rare intelli-
gence, whose word was ever a sacred
bond, whose concepts We're broad as
the plains he loved, whose nature was
as Joyous as the mountain stream and
whose love met an appeal from hu-
manity as involuntarily as the sun
beams kiss the mountains.
Mans right to love is Gods heritage
to man, the secret place of the most
high" In the chambers of this citadel
voices unheard by the world come to
us, and go forth to crystalize in deeds
that make glad the earth and stand

The Colquitt Letter.


"Austin, Tex, Aug. 90, 1914.
,"Mr. Norris Sass.
"Ardmore, Oklahoma.
"Your letter of August 10 is receiv-
ed have called a special session
of the Texas Legislature to meet next
Monday to pass a warehouse bill and
other measures for the relief of the
present distressed situation in selling
agricultural products, especially cot
ton and wheat. ! requested the at
torney general to prepare bill put
ting into effect my ideas of what
will meet the present situation in this
state, and the bill has been formu-
lated, which provides for the estab-
lishment of public warehouses under
the supervision of the commissioners
of insurance and banking. giving him
power to appoint and inspect classers,
etc, protecting all cotton from the
weather, and issuing warehouse ret
ceipt guaranteed by the state. which
will make it better than any bank
stock or bond as collateral.
81 have been trying to get the gov
ernors of other cotton growing states
to meet me in conference with a
view of discussing these matters. Up
to this time | have not succeeded
in getting them to agree 9to meet
me, hence | took the bull by the
horns myself and called a special
session of the Texas legislature with
the hope that | could induce them
to cooperate with me in meeting
the situation for the protection Of
our people.
If the congress of the United States
will now pass a bill | suggested to
them, authorizing the advancement
of money on cotton warehouse re-
cepts equal to ten cents per pound
on middling cotton and if the gov
ernors of other cotton growing
states will call their legislatures to-
gether and adopt a system similar to
that which | shall submit to the Tex
as legislature next Monday. | think
the situation will be fully cared for.

salaries Of the clubs officers may
amount to $4,000 more, while the hir-

To look after the business of the club
President Hampstead and Secretary
Foster practically are at work all the
year round. When McGraw wants new
players he tells them to produce the
money. When the club gets into n dis
pute over the services of n player the
board of directors on the national COM
mission must be appealed to.
A pile of letters from cranks, fans
and other baseball clubs, big and small,
must be opened and answered every
morning. Hours are spent planning to
shorten railroad jumps or to obtain
transportation, together with hotel ac-
commodations. Every little detail must
be looked after by clerical help.
Then the free pass question occupies
much valuable time. The club keeps
the list secret. but it is known that the
demand for cOmpimentaries is enor-
nous. and it must be attended to with
much diplomacy The National leagues
affairs must be looked into, and there
IS endless correspondence on the sub
ject. The clubs scouts and agents
send in reports that must be considered
after McGraw has opened them.
The hiring of help is another task.
Persons with pulls come to the club
I'm search of work at any old price, but
II large majority must be turned down
