legislature made
special provision that parties using
the public lands should not only
pay back rental due thereon for
the time they have used it, but
that they should also lease the
same from the state and in en
forcing that law many thousands
of dollars have been collected as
back rental and paid into the
treasury, which swells our avails
ble school fund, which goes to
educate the school children ot
this state and lengthens the
school term; and I also require
the*parr;es having these lands in
their possession to lease them
In performing this duty imposed
upon me by law I have incurred
the displeasure of many gentle
men who had not been paying
lease rental upon this land, some
ot whom reside in your district,
and yet it is alleged that you
sav 1 aid and abet in robbing the
school children and taking the
lands from the public school fund.
“1 do not desire to call names,
but there is one instance where
one partv paid the state ba< k
rental amounting to $12,400, who
was required to lease thirty or
f >rty sections within his i.iclos-
ure, which had not been leased
prior thereto He did not desire
to lease them and protested
gainst it, but as the law required
that he either pull down his
fences or lease them. 1 required
him to take a lease from the state
and pav the lease money to the
treasurer. At the same time he
owned several smaller leases and
I embodied the whole thing, at
his request, by consolidation into
one contract more than a year
ago. This I think was in Lvnn
county and was made because the
land in that county had been ly-
ing there tor years and years, and
the state could neither lease nor
s> il it, and, therefore, the school
tund was deriving no benefit from
it; hence the consolidation of th<
leases was made, taking in these
several sections which were not
leased, and which at all times,
had been subject to sale. The
records will disclose mine of par
tv and time ot lease.
1 must confess that 1 was very
much 'pained when 1 saw your
thrust appearing in the papers,
tor I had always believed you to
be sincere in your expressions ot
personal friendship for me. and
in the indorsement of my policies
as Land Commissioner, otten to
my face, and because furthermore
1 heard you say to the Land Com-
mittee that you lived out in the
Western country, had heard my
statement the evening before,
when 1 appeared before the com
mittee, and that vou endorsed
and corroborated everything that
I said. Very truly yours,
Charles Rogan.

in another column will be found
a criticism by represntative Wil
Itnghatn of the policy of Charles
Rogan, the state’s land commis
sioner. Kogan is out in an open
letter, in reply, the substance of
which is as follows:
“If vou have been correctly
quoted I want to say that there is
not one word of truth in the
whole statement. If what you
say is true I should be deposed
from office and I should be ostra-
cised from association with al! re-_
spectable people, and now call
on you to substantiate your
charges—to specify in what re-
spect the land, or any part there
of, has been taken from the
school fund, when and bv whom,
and in what respect, the school
children have been robbed.
“It is said you made this state-
ment in public and therefore it is
due the public, the legislature
and yourself, as well as myself,
that you either sub-tantiate the
charges, or to retract it publicly,
jecause you now have my public
denial.
“The records of the general
and office must, and do, show
rach and every transaction ot all
justness had with the public, or
with
this
lad with any and all lands be-
onging to the school fund has
been uniformly mailed without a
single exception to the county
clerk of the countv in which the
and is situated, or to which it is
attached for judicial purposes,
and I now extend to you as a
member of the legislature, the
privilege of examining these rec
ords uith a view of substantiating
the charges said to have ' ten
made on the floor ot the House,
and I will agree and take pleas-
ure in so doing to show either
v ourself or any other member of
the House these records and will
gladly render every assistance in
my power to facilitate a thorough
investigation. An investigation
is not only welcome, but urged.
“Instead ot robbing the school
fund of any of its lands or of rob
bing the school children of Tex-
as, I pride myself in saying that
I have done more, according to
the records, and it can be estab-
lished in the land office and also
in the treasurer’s office for the
school fund and
children of Texas
one man.
“Such lands as
posed of have not only been sold,
but they have been sold in ac
cordance with the law passed by
the legislature, and as interpreted
by the courts and the Attornex
General, and payments for tin*
land are always made, not to the
Commissioner of the General
Land Office, but direct to the
State Treasurer." 1 also desire to
state that more land has been
leased since I have been Commis-
sioner than ever before in the
history of the state government,
and the available school fund,
which maintains our public
schools and educates the school
children of Texas, is receiving
annually, by virtue ot the policy
pursued by me, more than $224,*
000 per annum than it did at any
time prior to the establishment
ot the lease line in 1897.
“The amount ot work in the
land office is so great that it re-
quires more than fifty men to
transact it. and, therefore, very
little of the business transacted
comes under my personal obser.

Dynamic I'ahules (called dynamic from
their energy) crowd a week’s ordinary
treatment into 12 hours and abort the
worst of colds over night.
“"It was the worst case of grip I ever
had. A half dozen friends had sure
cures. Still it hung on. Heard of the
Dynamic Tabules. to my amazement
they stopped both cold and cough the
first night. I endorse and recommend
them to the people.’’ Barclay Henley,

"Winter colds have always been seri-
