A Central Shot.

The Central Missouri Leader, pub
lished at Centertown, in an editorial
under the caption "Hell's Afire,"
makes an attack on the State officials
at Jefferson City, in which the editor
of the Leader terms the estate House
gang" but mostly directs his fire and
birthstone at Secretary Cornelius
Roach and family, in an effort to get
the country press to join the Leader
in the support Of one Mr.. Houchin for
Governor of Missouri, whom the
Leader claims to be the only rock
ribbed, honest aspirant to that office,
and man who is absolutely clean.
But he failed to state that Mr.. Houcbin
was rich man, and that he made his
fortune from the labor of convicts in
his big overall factory, in which there
was as much graft, and we think
more, and not nearly as commendable
as the securing of an honest position
for relative. And while every
knock is boost for Con. Roach, we
would suggest that if Mr.. Houchin ex-
poets to be even close next to the
last man In the race he had better pull
the Leader out Of the fight, as the
time has come when the fair-minded
intelligent and public spirited people
do not uphold, or even tolerate such
rot, andIas to the record Of Mr.. Roach,
when committee composed Of both
Democrats and Republicans, and we
believe as honest aud fair-minded
gentlemen as can be found anywhere,
say that they find that the clerical
force employed In the Office Of Secre-
tary OF State was authorized by law
and by specific appropriation to cover
same, and that no new positions have
been created inthat Office, nor salaries
raised except as authorized by law
and appropriations to cover same, we
are at loss to know wherein The
graft comes, and we have no doubt

naces went out of blast several plans
have been made to establish iron and
steel works on the Gulf coast, as we'll
as ~ points between the ore field and
the Oklahoma coking- coal field. The
recent conditions of the iron and steel
markets have not, however, been
favorable to such Enterprises, SO some
iron ore has been shipped to blast
furnaces in Alabama and on the At
lantic seaboard.
In response to many requests re-
ceived by the United States Geological
Survey during the last three or four
years for published data concerning
the iron-ore deposits of northeastern
Texas, reconnaissance of this area
was made in the autumn of 1914 by
Ernest F. Burchard, a survey geologist,
who, in Bulletin 62O-E, which may be
obtained free by applying to the
Director Of the Survey, gives an ac-
count of the early exploration of
these deposits together with descrip-
tions of deposits in Cass, Marion, Nor
ris, and Cherokee counties and
analyses of the ores.
In the iron ore district of north
eastern Texas the surface is occupied
chiefly by sand, clay, gravel, and silt.
The most recent deposits those that
form the bars and bottom lands along
the streams are Quaternary age, but
the great masses of sand and clay with
which the iron ore deposits are as
sociated are of early Tertiary age
(Eocene.) The iron ore consists of
limonite, or hydrated iron oxide
(brown ore, and siderite, oriron car
Donate.
Both kinds of ore occur in nodules
and irregular masses of almost endless
variety, embedded in glauconitic sand
and clay. In places the washing away
of the soft sands and clays in which
the ore was originally inclosed has
left masses of loose ore on the surface.
The brown ore, particularly in central
Cherokee County, occurs also as a
rather persistent laminated bed, ~
to feet thick.
| Analyses of 1872 samples of iron ore
from the four counties considered in
the report show the following average
percentages of metallic iron: Cass
County, 1884 per cent; Marion Coun-
| ty, 54.91 per cent; and Cherokee
County, 4464 per cent. As most OF
the So called brown ores used in this
county carry about 45 per cent Of
iron, the brown ores Of northern Texas
are above the average grade. The
profitable exploitation of these Texas
ores, however, probably depends on
the application OF some schemes Of
mechanical concentration. Hand
picking is wasteful and altogether toe
slow and expensive to be continued.

When it Really Affected the
Farmer.

lFrom Tne 81 Lopia Repnblie.l

.I
No Republican, whether he calls
himself progressive or stand pat, ap-
pears to be able to argue honestly
about the tariff. Golfers Weekly,
whose motto is "Anything to beat
Wilson" is re- enforcing it's editorializ-
ings on the preceding popularity" of
the President with series of articles
on the eligibles. The current issue
contains a dissertation on Senator
Borah OF Idaho, by Henry J. Allen,
the Progressive editor of The Wichita
Beacon, in which Borah is permitted
to speak in a copious interview.
The Senator from Idaho, after dis
coursing upon the need of economy in
public building construction -appar-
emily in entire ignorance of the fact
that large part of this hoary Re-
publican graft has deem cut off by
Secretary McAdoo'snew regulations
comes out strong upon the tariff
"Any plan," he says, "that results in
the American farmers having to sell
in a free market will not work."
How eau one be patient with such
nonsense as this? This surplus must
be exported. The prices of such
staples as wheat and cotton are made
in the Liverpool market. Tariff taxes
laid on these things do not ordinarily
affect prices at all, for the grower OF
crop large portion of which must
be sold in a foreign market sells in o
free market just the same as if the
tariff did not exist.
We hasten to admit, however, that
sometimes tariff on an agricultural
product may be operative in the
United States. This was the case with
the potato tariff during one season
under the Payne -Aldrich law-that Of
1910, if recollection serve, when Q
drouth had cut short the crop.
Prices on potatoes ruled much as
usual near planting time in the spring
Then the scant supply was reflected
in a sharp advance. This did moi
benefit the Middle West growers, who
had sold their crops to the dealers. YET
the tariff affected the farmer never
theless, for potatoes had to be inn
ported for scotland he paid the tariff
the tariff that could not operate II
his favor when he, in normal times
sold in competition with the world
but which stood up like wall against
him when he needed cheap seed.
The personal honesty Of Republican
politicians is one thing and their in
tellectual honesty quite another
Straight Misrepresentation about the
tariff is standard practice with them.
