Meeting the Opposition.

A member OF the Democratic Ma
tional Committee tells of an "old-
timer who, during the last campaign,
took the stump in Iowa. 1t does not
appear whether he gathered many
converts to the party creed or not,
but he certainly added to the humor
of the situation.
On one occasion, when vast crowd
had gathered to hear him hold forth,
he addressed them in this wise;
Fellow citizens, our opponents are
resorting to every form of dishonesty,
deception and underhand trickery to
corrupt the voters. But, fellow citi'
zens, we warn them"-and here his
voice shook the rafters-"we warn
them, fellow citizens, that that is a
game that two can play at!"-New
York Times.

REGULATING THE PRICE or OIL

According to press dispatch, the
Governor Of Oklahoma has Just signed
law In which the Corporation Com.
mission Is given complete Jurisdiction
over the production and prices OF oil.
As might have been expected, attor.
neys for some OF the oil men say the
law will be attacked as nnconstitu-
tlonel. The important and startling
thing is that a State should have gone
so far as TO assume control over the
production and price OF comomdity
like OIL Heretofore, State regulation
has contented itself with regulating
what we ordinarily understand should
come under the definition OF public
utilities. such as means Of transporta-
ton and communication, like the rail-
road. telegraph and telephone, and
other large matters Of public conven-
fence. such as the furnishing Of light
and heat. gas. electric light and
power. From making the gas pipe
line a public utility to regarding the
oil pipe line in the same light Is In.

POLITICAL PRINCIPLES.

Statesmen profess to believe that
the public cherishes a great many
political principles, but we suppose
the number Of basic theories respect
ing government to which II attaches
any importance whatever is very
small. Perhaps the most fundamental
principle Of the constitution, for ex.
ample, is the division OF government
powers into legislative, executive and
judicial. We imagine the public does
not care rap about that. All the inn
passloned warnings against encroach.
ment by the executive on the legisla.
tive branch have never reused flut
ter of public interest, so far as we
have been able to see.
That the judiciary has wandered
pretty far into the legislative field Is
patent The public has shown some
interest in that, but OF a rather luke
warm character. In Colorado II was
proposed by constitutional amend.
ment to make newspapers subject to
the public utility law and supervision
of the State. AS a matter of political
principle that was rather startling.
for theoretically a press the business
affairs of which were subject to a
political board could not be free.
Though the proposal was defeated,
considerably less than half Of the
voters took the trouble to express any
opinion about It.
Probably the public knew well
enough that if the newspapers were
subject to board they would control
the board, so no harm was done. How
a thing is likely to work in given
cases is what interests the public II

Houston Post upon the address by
Colonel Clarence Ousley in that city,
is another evidence that the A. & NJ.
College has a man at the head Of its
extension department who is Of in

Post says: THE speech delivered by
Hon. Clarence Ousley before the
Houston Rotary Club yesterday was
one of rare eloquence and appealing
logic. He discussed the agricultural
problem of the State, and especially
OF Harris County, in manner never
before heard in this community. He
was listened to attentively by the sew.

Texas will not go back to gambling
on horse racing. not for the present
at least. The bill was killed in the
House OF the Texas Legislature. One
Of the arguments OF the proponents OF
the bill was that II would encourage
the raising OF better stock, especially
horses. The legislators could not see
II that way and believe the better
stock movement should be toward
the farm rather than toward the race
track.

Yet when she turned him on his back
and released the arm, he made no
sign to indicate that the movement
had caused him the slightest pain.
There was slight cut upon his
brow, a bruise about his left temple.
She tore linen from her bosom, be-
meath her coarse flannel shirt, and with
sparing aid from the canteen, washed
the cut clean and bandaged it.
Then seeing that the storm held

There, sitting, she pillowed his

him made her body an additional shell

Be sure she made never sign to
catch their attention.

jerked his head smartly, snapped the

How long he fought on, pitting his

In the end he stumbled blindly down

conscious that he had in some way
found shelter from the full force Of the
wind.
He staggered on another yard or
two, breathing more freely, and blum

and the storm.
He thought to rest for time, until
the storm had spent it's greatest

gratefully against the rock and
scrubbed the dust from his smarting
eyes he saw what he at first conceived
to be a hallucination: Judith TTine

He stared incredulously, saw her
recognize him, open her mouth to
utter a wondering cry that was inaudi-

He threw off her hand with bitter
laugh-that was like the croaking of

of hysteric madness, reeled away from
the woman and the shelter Of the rock
and delivered himself anew to the
