Dividing Up Texas.

new secession movement has been launched
in Texas. 1t is now before the State legislature
in the form OF joint resolution to submit to the
voters a proposition to divide the big Lone Star
State and create new State to be called Jefferson
out of the western half of the present Common
wealth. The plan is not antagonistic to the act
by which Texas admitted to the Union which
provided that it might be divided into FIVE States
without further action by Congress. except to
provide for the admission OF the new States
created. Texas is large enough to create five
States each larger than New York, and it now has
more than 100000 population. 1t is not bigness
that troubles Texas, however. 1t is difference
OF opinion over the question OF prohibition. just
such difference Of opinion have in
Congress.
The western half Of Texas is truly rural and
the Hon. John Garners goat ranch is said to be
the most congcstcd part OF that section. The
rural people, not Garners goats, want prohibition
for the whole State, and Senator Sheppard is their
ideal of real statesman. But the voters OF Texas
refused to vote the State dry last summer, and
the prohibitionists want to create new State
which can be made dry. They would like to Sc
cedc in perfectly constitutional way. 1t is an
interesting proposition but hardly in harmony
with Senator Shcppard's views of the Constitu-
ton. The junior Senator from Texas proposes
to amend the Federal Constitution so as to make
Texas as we'll as New York dry, regardless of
the wishes of the people, to compel them to sub
NIT to the will of the majority of the States. His
prohibition constituents in Texas subscribe to
that constitutional proposition but they object
to the majority in Texas living in the eastern
section, deciding the question for them in their
rural western section and deciding against them.
If the tail cannot wag the dog they propose to cut
off the tail and let it wag itself.
1t is another illustration of the old saying
that it depends on whose OK is gored, and which
way the majority Slants. If the majority is for
prohibition, the prohibitionists are with the ma
ijority and ready to uphold the Constitution,
but if the majority is opposed to prohibition the
prohibitonists favor secession.
If the State of Texas should be divided on the
line proposed, Senator Sheppard would probably
EI Paso, in the new State of Jefferson, to repre-
sent truly rural prohibition State in the United
States Senate, but what would become of Johnny
Garner and his goat ranch? Garner represents
more truly rural inhabitants counting the goats
than any other man in the great Lone Star State
and he showed the power of that representation
] by keeping tariff goat hair in the last Demo
cratic tariff bill Representatives Garner and
Slayden, and Smith and Stephens may have some
thing to say about being seeded into new State
before the matter is settled
There is however, another alternative for the
Texas prohibitionists. They could move across
the Rio Grande and again become part of Mex
ico, where having the best illustration pre-

incentive 10 Cattle Raising.

The Department of Agriculture finds consid-
erable increase in the number of food animals
and deprecates the predictions from interested
parties that the scarcity OF cattle will drive meat
prices up to so cents and shoes to $40. The won
der is that the high prices of meats have not
stimulated much greater production. Almost
every farm could raise one two more head
and as long as the farmer has his land, including
some that is fair pasture, but not inviting for
tiage what is he going to do with it If he doesn't
raise cattle and sheep? 1t doesn't cost much to
pasture the stock unless the land can be more
profitably put to some other use. 1t is better tc
let cattle graze on it, add little grain for atten-
ing than to leave good deal of land absolutely
without PHILADELPHIA Record
