The blab price of agricultural prod-
act baa moved many town people to
ralae the alogan "Back to the farm"
and many abandoned crofu and gran-
ge to the old atatea are to be rehabi-
tated. Meanwhile thirty-eight per rent
ot the acreage of Braxoa county Is vir-
gin toll never tickled by the plow.
It Is all right for Bryan to grow with
the growth of all the neighboring
town only Bryan ought to grow faster
than any of them.
An exchange begins one of lis boost-
er paragraphs with "get in the middle
of the road." Bad advice for thla sort
of weather. Better watt till the mud
dries up.
The usual numbers of I told you so's
have bobbed up since the polar contro-
versy has been decided against Cook.
Isn't It wonderful how many there are

Of course Mrs. Campbell la not to
be blamed for the fact that "Old King
of the leather" la her cousin but Gov-
ernor Campbell la reaponalble for plac-
ing blm In a position to exercise his
savage Instincts without restraint.
The Galveston Newa aaya: "When
cotton la out of the growers' nanda.
the spinners know they must pay for
it to act It When the farmers own It
the spinners are much more Independ
enf If this be true it la the fault of
the farmers and la not aUU creditable
to them. It certain'y ought not to be
so.
The extreme Pro bellavcs that every
Antl ia a depraved reprobate The ex
treme Antl believes that every Pro ia
a canting hypocrite Beth opinions nro
correct rs to r. few cf each faction.
There ore Pros rho "sterl the livery
of Heaven to serve the devil In." and
there are Antia as rotton as muck;
but a majority of both Pros and Antla
are honest and patriotic.

William Jennings Bryan accompan-
ied by bis family ia now In the West
Indies and will go thence to South
America by way of the Panama canal.
He will spend the next four months
taking notes of the political and so
cial condition In the South American
republics for the purpose of Increas
ing his knowledge on Panamerlcan
problems by atudylng them on the
ground. No other American statesman
haa spent ao much time and money get-
ting Information at first hand concern
ing all economic questions.
The most serious feature of the pen
Itentlary problem la how to manage
tne unmanageable to correct the In
corrlble. to reform the reprobates.
There are two classes of these hard
rases those who have been made what
they are by circumstances and those
who are congenially bad. In the rase
of the former If the perversion has not
gone too far there la a chance that
they will respond to good treatment
but for the latter there la no hope. A
person born without a conscience Is
no more to be blamed for It than one
who ia congenital! blind or deformed.
Society moat protect Itself from aucb
but tbia ia all that can be done. It Is
as unjust to punish them aa It la to
hold the Insane responsible for their
unfortunate condition.
