Texas Farmers Indignant.
Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 3.-H.
N. Pope. president of the Texas Far
mers' Union, has given out the fol-
lowing statement, commenting on
the eight-hour law passed by Con.
gress Saturday:
"The people Of this nation have.
during the past week, passed
through the most humiliating expe-
rience this government has ever en-
dured. A few labor union leaders
have stood at the portals of Con-
gress demanding that government
give them a ransom or they woulc
wreck society. This nation, instead
Of meeting the situation bravely, has
delivered the goods in fear and
trembling
"Our American Congress has stood
within the shadow Of the Goddess o.
Justice and voted an increase in
wages to four hundred thousand
trainmen, who are the highest paid
laborers in the world, and never at
any time mentioned the three hum
dred and fifty thousand trackmen
who are perhaps the poorest paid
workmen in the world, and who
must subsist almost wholly upon the
crumbs that the trainmen leave upon
the table.
when cotton was selling for six
cents per pound two years ago and
poverty stalked over the Southland,
causing greater financial loss to
the Southern plowmen than the free
ing OF slaves, Congress confessed in
ability to cope with the situation and
stepped aside, letting this awful bur-
den fall upon the backs OF the till
ers Of the soil. The organized plow-
men pleaded with Congress for re-
lief, but we're told that it would not
be constitutional for government to
undertake to fix the price of cotton
or to advance money on cotton in
storage, and that Congress was a
slow-moving body and could not
meet emergencies"

A REGRETTED ERROR.

In the last issue Of The Courier. in
giving the indications as they ap-
peared to us as probable final results
in the first primary, we made an err
ror as to the race for House Of Rep
resentatives, stating that a second
race was probable between w. p. Ma
son and Jas. II. Brown. The name of
J. r. Orr should have appeared in
stead Of that Of Mr.. Brown. We re-
gret the error, and it was an error
entirely Of oversight on our part.
We endeavor always to give an ac-
cnrate forecast each election year
In our regular edition Wednesday
morning following the election Tues
day, and with figures for more than
go candidates to be cast up and veri-
fed as we'll as the unofficial figures
will permit, we had no small task be-
fore us. With a number of precincts
still to be heard from when we quit
work at 3 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, and with not few inaccuracies
in the figures as received by phone to
be corrected If 1t were found possible,

however, and a number Of corrections

ton Of these two gentlemen. In the
final rush Of making up the forecast.
these changes were overlooked and
the indications" were given incor-
rectly in this one instance. Our state
ment of probable second races was
correct with this one exception, and
we regret exceedingly having given
out this one incorrect Hndication.
though the totals given in our tabu-
lated report showed the correct
standing of the candidates.
We never claim this first tabulated
statement Of returns to be correct. II
is impossible to get an absolutely cor
rect tabulation in 30 short time,
But the figures as given by us We'd
nesday morning were so nearly accu-
rate az to necessitate comparatively
few changes in getting into share the
official tabulation, which will be
found in full, both for State and
county officers, with the official dec
laration Of results, in another por-
tion OF this issue Of The Courier.
