Tyler, and in calling attention to it the Courier-
Times gives some advice to local merchants
which they will be wise not to overlook. The
merchants are told that the home factory will
supply them with'brooms of the same quality

Legislature a Commercial'Club
A state legislature is the. most powerful
commercial club in the wopid. It can oreak
the bread of life to factories, laiiroads and in-
dustrial enterprises, macadam our public high-
ways, open our nines and turn the tide of im-
migration and the flow of capital into Texas,
a? well as dray the tendrils «of civilization to
W&rd bone Star State. It can fashion the
atsfe to a higher destiny by arousing hope tuat
ha.? iong lain coffined in despair, and by sitt-
ing the rock of our boundless resources can
make prosperity gush forth and flood the land.
The legislature is entitled to the co-operation
. of every commercial club in Texas in its de-
velopment work and should receive the moral
support of all progressive cjj£]

After selecting in eleven years seventeen
winners of the peace prize establishment by
the inventor of dynamite, the Norwegian Par-
liamentary Committee has been compelled to
confess itself baffled. There will be no award
of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1912. In the whole
world at present the Storthing's committee is
unable to discover a person who has, within the
year, "worked most or best for the fraterniza-
tion of nations, the abolition or reduction of
standing armies, or the calling of propagating
of peace congesses." The amount set aside
for the prize, about $39,000, will be turned in-
peace, when we reflect how many of them
have cause for regret that they did not know
of their opportunity and make their claims
known, it seems a pity. Yet, what was the
Storthing to do? If a reasonably careful
scrutiny of the civilized world failed to dis-
cover a friend of peace as fit for recognition
as the ex-President of the United States,
to the Nobel general fund. When we think of
the heartaches this decision will cause among
the energetic and ever-militant advocates of
whom a native poet once exclaimed:
His sword within its scabbard sleeps,'
But, gracious, how it snores!
Clearly the wisest thing to do is to keep the
money at interest.
Col. Roosevelt got the prize in 1906 for his
services in bringing about peace negotiations
between Japan and Russia. None of the oth-
er winners, except the two institutions, that of
International Law and the International Per-
manent Peace Bureau at Berne, can be called
eminently distinguished- Ducommum, Du-
nant, Passy, Gobat, Cremer, Bajer, D'Estour-

The Texas Mule-
William Allen White's School
At Eldorado, Kan./the principal and thirty-
five pupils of the Leon School were assaulted
by egg throwers because they won a debate
from the Eldorado School.
There was a time when Eldorado could "lay
it over" any school or society or aggregation
of citizens in any town in that part of Kansas
when it came to the matter of joint debate.
When "Bill" White was thumbing a physical
geography and struggling with English gram-
mar in the Eldorado schools he was "taking
on" some of the heavy weight debaters of the
Walnut Valley and was "wiping up the earth"
with them. It was "Bill's" first start on the
road to being "the distinguished orator of the
day."
By the time "Bun" Adams reached the "prin-
cipal's room" in the lod schoolhouse at Eldo-
rado he was known as the "boy orator of But-
ler." Other city schools avoided locking horns
with the debaters of Eldorado in those good old
days.
And now to have little old Leon, which used
to be only a "cow station," where cattlemen
unloaded their stock for pasture in the flint
hill country—to have little old Leon come right
into Eldorado and take the prize in oratory'

The Ruling Class.
Of the ninety-six members of the Senate sit-
ting as triers of law and fact in the impeach-
ment proceedings against Judge Archbald,
more than half are lawyers. The New York
World, calling attention to this, says that be-
cause of it impeachment fails "as a sure and
speedy remedy for judicial delinquencies "
It is not surprising that lawyers, as a class,
referendum and to control of the courts by the
object to the recall and to the initiative and
people. By the existing arrangement all such
functions of control are now in their hands.
But there are fewer than ane hundred and
fifty thousand lawyers in America, and there
are more than 16 million other voters.

WINKELMANN & BOHNE
Houston, Tex., Dec. 12.—Sbreve-
port's sporting fraternity is again
demanding baseball. Prom the
youngest to the oldest bug in tha
big city are strong for the national
game once more. Their joint re-
quest is that Santa Claus slip a lea-
gue franchise into the Shreveport
stocking when he pays his annual
party call December 25.
For two years Shreveport has been
without a baseball menu. Driven
by ennui to a desperate point, the
Wns there are now on the verge of
kidnaping either President Kava-
naugh of the Southern League or
President Allen of the Texas circuit
and forcing him to permit Shreve-
port to share the joys of organized
baseball.
A Shreveport man who was con-
nected with Dale Gear's club in
1910 writes that unless the baseball
plant begins flourishing again In
1913 one-half the male population
will seek a residence elsewhere de-
spite the oil boom that is increas-
ing the population.
Nothing was said in the epistle
to show that Captain Crawford
stood willing to back another club.
It was Crawford's money that car-
ried Gear's club. .>* .
Perhaps when the Texas League
directors meet in Houston January
10 a delegation from Shreveport will
be present to bid for the Austin
franchise, which was placed upon
the market three weeks ago by Tom
