Teach me. with patience to follow Thee!

For my little lad with the golden hair,
With eyes blue and face fair
Has gone before me to light the way.

Leaving his dear ones TO sigh and mourn,

But radiant with heavenly life and joy,
For the loving eyes of my angel boy

For his light shall lead me along the way;

A CHECK UPON RADICALISM

Legislative activities at Austin confirm
anew the wisdom of the constitutions
trainers in providing for two houses,
rather than for only one. Again the
House Of Representatives is running Wild
in its production of bills And the Sen
ate seems to be maintaining the reputation
for conservatism and common sense
which it gained in large measure under
the presidency Of Lieutenant Governor
Lynch Davidson. In his farewell speech
to the Senate, at the expiration of his
term OF office, Mr.. Davidson babe its
members to take no stock in the weird
theories that are abroad in the land, and
urged upon them the vital Importance
Of giving Texas constructive laws or
none at all. One of the greatest services
performed by the Senate during the last
session of the Legislature, he indicated,
was its rejection of unsound and harm
full measures.
How we'll the present Senate may heed
that advice, no one can foresee with as
surance. But thus far the upper cham

theories and harmful bills Among the
first Of its acts was to condemn the fed
eral governments tendency to obtrudc
itself into affairs which the states alone
should govern.
Now it is reported that the Senate's
attitude toward the proposal to impose
a heavy production tax upon the oil in
dustry is hostile, and that, consequently,
a compromise may be forced. Doubtless
it was the opposition Informally expressed
by many Senators that caused House
members to revise their original plan tc
raise the oil tax to per cent. Ia any
case, the House bill, as passed by the
lower chamber, provides for a per cent
tax and it is reported that amendments
have already been prepared in the Senate
to reduce the rate to 2 per cent.
There seems to be a sharp contrast be-
tween the respective ideas of the Senate
ana House on nearly all of the measures
that are attracting public attention-and

1T SINGETH LOW.

II singeth low in every heart,
We hear it each and all
A song of those who answer not,
However we may call;
They throng the silence of the breast,
We see them as of yore-
The kind, the brave, the true, the sweet,
Who walk with US no more.
It's hard TO take the burden up,
When these have laid it down:
They Frightened all the JOY Of life,
They softened every frown,
But. oh. tits good to think of them,
When we are troubled sore.
Although they are no more!
More homeIike seems the vast unknown,
Since they have entered there.
To follow them were not so hard,
Wherever they may fare;
They cannot be where God is not,
On any sea or shore:
Whate'er betides. Thy love abides,
Our God, for eyermore.

The district attorney Of Brooklyn, New
York, must be queer sort Of a man. If
he is not queer he is deluded; that is.
granting that he has been correctly quoted
in the news dispatches from New York.
This official has declared that all pco-
pie who are members of the Ku KIuy
Khan must move out of BROOKLYN He
says there is no room for them there and
that they cannot remain. He has even
gone to the length OF asserting that peo-
pie who sympathize with the Khan cannot
continue to reside in Brooklyn.
Just how this gentleman, who must be-
lieve that he is district attorney by divine
right, came to hold the opinion that he
has any power to say who shall and who
shall not reside in the borough OF Brook
lyn and to what secret societies they
may and may not belong is of little
consequence. In himself he is nothing.
What he typifies is Of consequence, how

and that he thinks all people who would
reside therein must first obtain his sane

WHATSOEVER WIND"

Whichever way the wind doth blow,
Some heart is glad to have it so;
Then blow it east or blow it west
The wind that blows-that wind is best.
My little craft sails not alone
a thousand fleets from every zone
Are out upon u thousand seas;
And what for me were favoring breezes
Might dash another with the shock
OF doom upon some hidden rock;
And so / do not dare to pray
For winds to watt me on my way:
But leave it to n Higher Will,
TO stay or speed me-trusting still
That all is well, and sure that He
Who launched my bark will sail with me
Through storm and calm, and will not fail,
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me, every peril past,
Within His sheltering haven at last.
Then, whatsoever wind doth blow,
NY heart is glad to have it SO;
And blow il east or blow it west.
The wind that blows-that wind is best!

courage material development of the state.
The House of Representatives, by a
vote of LOG to 16, has passed to engross-
ment the Dodd bill, which provides for
the states acceptance of the provisions
of the Sheppard-Towner act The latter
measure, as all well-informed persons
know, has been attacked as an invasion
of the rights of the states.
1t is to be anticipated that the Senate
will defeat the Dodd measure; in fact,
that seems to be 4 foregone conclusion,
as the Senate has gone on record as be-
ing opposed to legislation of that char
acter. 1t now remains for the upper
chamber to apply to concrete cases the
principles it has espoused.
What the Senate will do with, or to,
the Patman bill, which provides for en-
largement of the scope of the intangible
assets tax law Of 1909, is a question of
national as we'll as of statewide interest.
1t would be complimentary to the Senate
to anticipate that it will see in this meas
ure scheme to make up the difference
between the high oil-production tax
recommended by Governor Neff and the
moderate tax to which the Senate may
agree.
The law of 1909 applies principally
to railroads and similar corporations.
The Patman bill provides for the lcvying
of taxes upon the intangible assets of
various other corporations and companies,
including conspicuously' mineral or
petroleum oil refining companies and
those engaged in the distribution or
sale of gas, whether natural or, artificial
and whether intended for fuel, heat, light
or power"
If this bill should become a law, the
immediate effect upon the oil industry
Of Texas might be the same as though
the full 5 per cent production tax advo-
Gated by the governor had been levied,
and the ultimate effect might be to COM
pei all business enterprises in the state
to pay taxes on their intangible assets
Such a law would be, in short just an
other obstacle in the way of the mate
rial development of Texas.

From a Seat in the Gallery
By HERBERT COREY.

| the others gore il to death. A calf
that tires and lies down on the trail
is killed by the nearest bull. The
one safety for old and weak animals
is to get out Of the herd and hide.
The consequence is that the herd is
made up of strong, healthy specimens
and the average of buffalo health gets
little higher with each generation.
This winter Mr.. Albright is prepared
to care for about 700 buffalo in the
herd at Yellowstone Park, not to speak
of wild herd of $50 that takes care
of itself. Hay has been provided for
the period Of deepest SHOWS when the
buffalo, no longer able to reach their
natural winter grazing grounds on the
plains, must be fed. About 120 0tons
of hay have also been put up for the
elk, in che hope that by this means the
annual winter slaughter at the gates of
the park may be avoided. A few elk will
assuredly wander down on the plains
and be killed. but Albright believes that
the annual increase will hereafter off
set this loss.
An effort has been made to add to
the park that segment of the state
of Wyoming which lies just south, to
protect the park game. During the
last two winters Wyoming has per-
mitted. hunters to kill the moose rang
ing out from the park, and the conse-
quence is that the finest herd of moose
in existence has been almost destroyed.
There seems little probability that
Wyoming will consent to this inclusion
of her territory, however, for hunting
is an annual business that brings in
money.

Down Went McGinty
BY DIR. Frank Crane.

Every once in while something hap
pens that jolts us into a realization
of the flight of time.
OF course the topic is threadbare, but
the fact is it is as old as humanity,
and is ever present with us.
Some of us who are gray-headed now
remember the time years when every
body was singing the song Down Went
McGinty."
For the benefit of the youngsters
whose memories do not extend SO far,
| will quote bit of it:
Sunday morning just at 0,
Dan McGinty dressed so fine.
Stood looking at a very high stone
wall;
When along came Pat McCann, who
said, I'll bet So Dan,
l can carry yez to the top without
a fall v-
On his shoulders he took Dan, to climb
the ladder he began,
Until he'd nearly reached the top;
When for fear he'd lose his five, just as
sure as I'm alive,
Dan let go his hold, not thinking of
the drop.
CHORUS.
Down went McGinty to the bottom of
the wall
Dressed in his best suit of clothes"
All this is called to mind by an item
in the press the other day reporting
that Maggie Cline, who more than a
generation ago was a star of the variety
stage in America, was dying in her
nome.
IT was in 1881 when she, a trim,
pert and blushing maiden with wonder
ful strawberry colored locks, made
diffident debut in New York at Tony
Pastors, says the press report.
"rhe nervous youngster was becom-
ingly CARRIED by the stage manager in
dainty pink tights and a dollar-forty
blue waist"
However, she did the one thing for
which the public is willing to give an
artist fame and money. She produced
Il different sort of laugh and tickled the
faded interest of theatergoers.
She was vigorous and vociferous, and
chock full of pep.
When she sang to the roar of horse
fiddles. pistols, smashing glass. and sheet
iron thunder, forerunners of jazz eff
fects, that knock 'em-down and drag
'em-out ditty, THROW him down, Ms
Closkey.' the whole house joined in the
ceiling-shaking refrain"
That refrain ran:
throw him down, McCloskey,' was to
be the battle cry,

Washington, ID. C., Feb. 2.-Holders
of buffalo futures might as well sell
short. The market is glutted. A bear
market in bulls is about TO set n.
All of which means that the United
States now has more buffalo than it
knows what to do with. In 1900, Or
thereabouts, there were about 200 Amer
lean buffalo in the world, and they
were being killed off rapidly. Then
the Yellowstone National Park was
made a game preserve and conditions
changed rapidly. Now there are 1000
buffaloes in the United States and the
number is increasing.
Horace G. Albright, the superinten-
dent of Yellowstone Park, has been
putting these facts before the appro-
priations committee of the House.
Every zoo in the country is stocked
with buffalo to the limit. A buffalo
limit is easily reached, because the
buffalo is untamable and must be kept
in strong enclosures. There are sew
eral private herds that have been es-
tablished with the consent of the author
tiles. but these herds have likewise
reached their limits. They must be
cut down in the next few years. Mr..
Albright has asked and obtained per-
mission to dispose of the surplus buff
faloes in Yellowstone Park as his needs
compel. 1t is not impossible that buff
falo steaks may be on the occasional
menu by next season.
One reason why the buffalo breeds
so rapidly is that the beast is Spar
tan. If buffalo puts its foot in a
hole and cannot get it out in hurry

dental property. 1t may be that he is
merely a fussy sort Of person who lacks
4 sense OF proportion and fails to appre-
ciatc how insignificant a person the dis
trict attorney of Brooklyn really is. These
things are of no Importance. The gen.
tleman does assume some Importance
however when it is remembered that he
is representative of that class of public
official who has become so numerous in
this country since the United States went
into the war These officials are of the
variety that believes that salaried public
officials have some sort OF a God-given
right to boss the people around.
The gentleman may strongly d1sap-
prove OF the ku kluX klan. That is his
right. The members OF the ku kluX Klan
NAV strongly disapprove of him. That
is their collective and individual right. He
NAV disapprove of the Masons, of the
Odd-Fellows, the wow. the Macca-
bees, the Royal Arcanum, the Knights of
Columbus, the Bnai Birth and i thou
sand other organizations that men have
formed and. through which they work
toward certain ends The gentleman has
the right to dislike all of these things.
But to say that no member of the Ku
Klux Klan or any member of any organi-
cation shall reside in Brooklyn is going
as far as the grotesque and absurd can
well be carried. When a public official
talks in that way the name Of the organl-
zation 70 which he objects is OF no a.
count at all. The issue is whether any
public official has the right to jabber like
that to the American citizens who have
elected him to office
OF course the members of the XII klux
Klan will reside in Brooklyn if they wish
to do so. SO will any other person or
number of persons if they happen to have
the mental defectrof liking that rather de-
pressing city. So long as any man does
not break the laws Of his country and
municipality he can reside wherever he
likes-even though so august person as
district attorney should tell them they
cannot.
The Willingness of the American peo-
pie to submit to such insolence from their
paid employees is one of the wonders of the
age. Ever since the commencement of
the WARRIOR America-the citizens of this
country have been bullied and insulted
by lot of office holders who deserve
for their impudence to be thrown into the
nearest pool of water and, then tossed
back again when they crawl out 1t has
become a habit with certain department
heads at Washington to allow the send
ing to the people of this country of public
forms and documents that are arrogant
and insulting. They issue orders as
though they had somehow acquired the
right to tell the people what they should
do and how, when and where they must
do it.
There was a time when the American
people were showing more self-respect
and more manly refusal to submit to.
unwarranted dictation than they are now
exhibiting. Are we the people our faith
ers and grandfathers were? They would
not only have told such people as the

JUVENILES IN CONGRESS

Secretary MELONS letter to the Senate
finance committee, explaining why he
opposes the proposal that the United
States government establish in this coun-
try a billion-dollar credit for Germany,
reads like a school teachers talk to a
primer class. Oh, see the cat The
cat likes milk. Oh, see the rat. The
rat likes cheese. The cat will catch the
rat if he can. Mr. Mellon must have
been disposed to put an extremely low
appraisal on his job when he dictated
that letter.
But recitations of the obvious-or Of
what ought to be obvious-seem to be
one of the most important functions Of
intelligent officials nowadays. Members
of Congress are proposing so many fool
ish things that they must be treated as
members Of a primer class.
The proposal to lend Germany bill
lion dollars-of course the establishment
of credit would serve the purpose OF
a money loan-came from Senator Bur-
sum. If he persists in that sort OF
Craftsmanship" he may gain-and would
deserve-the nickname of "Dis." Now,
of all times, it would be extremely fool
ish for the United States to finance Ger
many. AS long as the Preparations dis
pute remains unsettled. the course OF
wisdom for the United States is to hang
on and take no chances on the outcome.
We have enough opportunities at homie
to gamble our money away.
AS vet there is no, assurance. that the
foreign debts already owing to the
United States will ever be paid, with
the exception of Great Britain's debt.
And for time even the British were
undecided whether to 60 ahead with
debt-funding arrangements or to hold on
to their money as long as there should
be a prospect of another war in Europe.
If the British, the most trustworthy OF
all European nations, financially, have
been slow to meet their obligations al
ready outstanding, would it be great
stroke of craftsmanship for the United
States to loan $1,000,000OO0 to Ger
many, the least trustworthy nation on
earth?
Besides, the United States government
has refused to go to the financial aid OF
this Gountrys war associates; their post
war applications for loans have been dis
allowed for the very good reason that
their war loans are yet to be paid Why
should America extend financial aid to
Germany while refusing the same sort OF
ard to the Ally nations-particularly
when Germany is trying to evade pay
ment of her debts and is doing all she
can to destroy Great Britain's trade?
Such questions may insult the intelli-
gence of business men, but they have to
be asked of some members OF Congress
1t becomes the undoubtedly unpleasant
and perhaps the disgusting duty of such
officials as Secretary Mellon to play
the role of school ma'am to the law-mak-
ers who constitute the primer classes OF
our national capitol.
