Cttlberaen Sees It.
Charley Culberson our senioi'
senator sees tho plutooratlo hand
in the Now York domooratio
I platform and in the interview
puunanea m Monday's Reporter
points out'the similarity bqtwoon
tho republican platform of 1900
and the New York dooUment of
1904. The first reads:
'.We-condemn all conspiracies
and combinations intended to re-
strict business to create monon-
Jies to limit production or to
control prices."
The Hill democrats put it this
way:
"We deolare opposition 4to
trusts and combinations that op-
press the people and stifle
healthy industrial competition."
These expressions show the
difference (?) between the re
publicans andthe reorganizes of
demooraoy.
Senator Culberson will ncdoiibt
do as.many of the balance of ubj
ohoose between 'two evils and
support'Parker if he is nomlh'at-1
ed beoause he is less objedtidn-
able than Roosevelt.

Lady Constqoce MacKcBile.
A oable to the New York 'Am-
erican dated London April 10th
says ;
"Lady Constance MaoKerzie
famed as the ohampion swimmer
of the nobility an. expert and
daring horsewoman a golf play-
er and an adept at all athletio
Bports open to women became a'
bride today.
"The announcement other mar
raige caused great surprise in
London for Lady Constance has
been wedded not to Captain
Fitzgerald of the "Eleventh Hus-
sars to whom her engagement-
had been announced but by Sir
JSdwin-Austin.Riohardson."
It will be remembered that;
Lady MaoKenzie recently toured
America and visited the Lazar-
us ranoh wjule in-Texas.
Her. familiarity with the ranoh
and stook business while here
was a subjept of considerable
oomment so unusual in a woman
of the old world
Progressing Backward
The inexplicable aotion of the
Waoo G. A. R. in forbidding the
U. C. V its usual oustom of dec-
orating the graves of Union as
well as Confederate soldiers is a
step baokward forty "years and
indioates 'a spirit not to be char-
acterized in polite words. Is this
tho sign of the alleged purpose of.
I'Rooseyeltians to waye the bloody
shirt the coming campaign? Brave
men who met on the battle field
are usually above any suoh emall-
ness of spirit. The alleged ao
tion of the G. A. R. post is more
like the sttv-at-hQraBS who made
war on women and ohildren and
played spy on their neighbors in
the hope of getting them into the
dutches of the provost marshal.
There must besome explan a -tion
of the aotion of the Waoo
post. We hope so at least.
Japanese Disaster A Pake.
It now seems to bo generally
oonoeded that the telegram pub-
lished in The Reporter on Sat-
urday ancj in the big doilies on
Sunday morning to the effeot
that the Japanese had lost 7X000
men in a land engagement was
a Russian fake published to off-
set the effeot of the Russian na-
val disasters. St. Petersburg is
an unsafe plaoe to got news from
Kauas aad East Texas Cycloaes.
Ikfoda's dalles b.rjnp news of
death-dealing oyolones in Kan-
sas Oklahoma and East Texas
on Saturday and Sunday. Mo-
Pherspn Kan several points in
Oklahoma and Mt. Vernon Mt.
Ploaaant Winsboro Saltillo

great many people injured.

Japanoso boys do not ongago
in boistorous sports to tho extent
tho American and European
youths do. Gentleness is a prime
requisite in the Japanese young
ster and the "hoodlum is said
to be unkowh in Japan. He
would not be tolerated even mom-
entarily in that ingratiating cli-
mate. Tho little Jap boys aro
not wanting in animal spirits but
they ate trained to control their
impulses to respeot the aged
to honor their parents and tovpro
teot public and private property.
The little girls play dolls in
Japan and oroon baby songs
and pick flowers and play cards I
Even the little tots oarry oards

and hiave quiet ladylike games

on the floor of their homes.
There fare a groat many things
'thatthe Japanese do differently
from the way other people do
'thdm. There are oddities in ev
rery nationwhioh other nations
might 'profitably pattern after
though teaohing small ohildreu

of the things that some Amer-
icans will be willing to adopt

Distresslng Stock Reports.
The Midland Live Stook
porter of Saturday gives the
lowing distressing reports:
D. F. White was hero Thurs
day 'from the range west of Toy-
ah. He can give no favorable
report.
J. E. Ctossett returned the first
of the week from his ranch south
of Monahans. He gives a very
adverse reporWrom that seotion
stating that there is hardly any
grassand if Tfltn don't come
'soon th& oss th'ers will be appall-
ing Quinoy Cooper got in this week
from his ranoh twenty -five milea
south of monument N. M. He
says absolutely all the grass in
that country has disappeared
and that cattle are merely exist-
ing on what mesquite and shin-
ery leaves that oan be had.
Clay MoGonagiligot in Thurs-
day from New Mexico and has
report of range conditions worse
really than we oare to publish.
Ho says there is no grass what-
ever anywhere and cattle are dy
ing in large numbers. He says
even range horses are so poor and
weak they can hardly stand and
it matters not what favorable
turn the weather may now take
there is bound to bo heavy losses
all over the territory
A. P McLemoro got in Mon-
day night from a long trip in-
cluding Fisher Knox Stonewall
Haskell and Jones oounties.
Fisher county shows no sign of
the late rains while Knox is as
dry as a bone. No grass shows
up in either plaoe. In Stonewall
enough water was oaught about
Aspermont to last two or three
weeks yet but it is dry dry. 'J'he
same report is. gjiven of; Haskell
oounty ihogh no water was
oaught there and none about
Stamford. At Avooa a little rain
fell while at Leudors two fair
rains put a different face on tho
country. All in all things look
gloomy indeed on tho route ho
travoled. It is about time for a
general rain all over WoBtTexa.8
and tho signs for it grow brighten
all the time Tho .norther Sun-
day night is all that stood be-
tween us and a good rain by this
time our weather wise telj us.
