As The Tribune has remarked before,
what Texas farmers need is an alterna-
tive money crop to partly take th® place
of cotton. All talk of diversity is non-
sense that does not hold in the uppermost
view the necessity of a crop that is read-
ily convertible into money like cotton.
Wheat has the same quality, but only
north Texas can grow wheat. Vege-
tables and fruit under certain circum-
stances have ths same quality, but it is
required that there be large production
in a given section to economize freights,
which otherwise consume profits. Moie.-
over, only a limited area along the coast
nan successfully compete in vegetables
and fruit with California and Florida.
For middle and east Texas, therefore,
the need for an alternative crop is most
urgent, and it has been suggested, that
the sugar beet is a promising article, es-
pecially at this time, when the govern--
ment is fostering the industry for the
sake of its possibilities.
Much more promising, indeed;, quite
certain, of fair returns, is tobacco, which
has been so successfully tested in Mont-
gomery county. Tobacco requires some
peculiarities of soil. It likes not the
black waxy of north Texas, nor, per-
haps, the salt air of the coast, but the
sand and clay of Montgomery are du-
plicated in a great number of the coun-
ties of east Texas and these sections
would do well to investigate the weed.
After all, a little ingenuity and fore-
thought in farming may do quite as much
as political theorizing to overcome some
of our present difficulties.

look after.”
“Going by steamer?”
“No; I will get
right through.”
The reporter whenl he met the big man,
saw with regret that the chin whiskers,
which for so long a time adorned the
colonel’s face, had disappeared-. Only
some gray stubble that tried to pose as
a mustache, garnished the lawyer’s up-
per lip. Other than that the lawyer’s
features were innocent of beard. When
the subject was mentioned the colonel
said something that sounded like “dad
blamed barber.”
“Mr. Hogg,” said the reporter,” you’ve
been quoted as favoring Galveston for the
Democratic state convention. How about
it?”
“Politics again by gatlins,” exclaimed
the lawyer. “Didn’t I tell you I was out
of politics? Somebody told me there was
'an article in one of the papers stating
I favored Galveston. I haven’t seen it
but I’ll tell you this: If Austin isn’t a
candidate for the convention I’m in favor
of Galveston df you have a convention
hall out near the beach that can accom-
modate; it.”
The reporter told him about Olympia.
“I’ve seen Olympia from a distance, but
haven’t been in it. I’m glad to hear you
say it could be made suitable.
“I’ll tell you how I am on these sub-
jects. I’m a home man. I’m for my town,
my county, my district, my state and my
country according to the issue that is up.
Now if Austin wants that convention, J. S.
Hogg is for Austin. Next to Austin I
prefer Galveston. We had a couple of
conventions here and the general accom-
modations were not only equal to those in
other cities of the state, but in addition
you had the gulf as an attraction. My
boy, that gulf is a great institution, and
it’s fine to throw your body into its waters
after you’ve put in a hard day’s work in
the convention. Not only that, but what a
lullaby old ocean sings to you at night!
The rythmic beat of the surf upon the
shore is sweet and soothing, and we men
from up the interior appreciate it more
than do you people who have it all the
time.”
Mr. Hogg was asked about his health.
“It is excellent,” said he. “Good hard
work, when work is to be done, and a lit-
tle pleasant recreation when necessary
keep me in good physical condition, I am
thankful to say. About my work, I’ve got
lots of it. It comes from all over the
state, and I can not but appreciate the
warm hearted, honest manner in which I
am treated by the people generally. I
have never asked anything from the
people of Texas in the way of a political
position that they did not give to me. I
have tried to be true to every trust they
have reposed in me. I never made a
promise to the people that I did not keep.
It was predicted by some that when I left
politics and went to the law that I
wouldn’t be able to make a living (you
know they said I was a third rate lawyer),
but, bless your heart, there are lots and
lots of people who seem to think I do
know a little about law.
“Don’t let us talk politics. I’m out of
politics. Then, again, the state and na-
tional campaigns are too far off. I’ve got
my head full of law cases and there’s no
room for political thoughts. It’s a bad
idea to eat fruit before it is ripe. The
political situation isn’t ripe.”

JUVENILE CRIMINALS.
The President of Harvard Defends the
Sport for Strong Men.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 22.—President Eliot
of Harvard makes the following state-
ment over his signature:
“The grounds on which arguments are
based for the legal prohibition of inter-
collegiate foot ball do not seem sufficient,
in my mind, to warrant favor. I under-
stand that a bill has been passed in the
Georgia legislature making the playing of
foot ball a crime, simply on the ground
that serious and sometimes fatal accidents
are liable to occur in hard fought con-
tests. The direct cause for the passage of
the bill was, I believe, the death of a
foot ball player, who was injured in the
game between the Georgia university and
the university of Virginia.
“But if we stop to consider other sports
we find that there are every year serious
accidents in base ball, boxing, fencing and
other gymnasium games. Rowing and
sailing are enjoyable pastimes, yet one
reads of many drownings every year. This
does not seem to lessen the interest in
rowing or sailing.
“Everybody can not play foot ball. It is
only the strong and well built men who
can expect to play the game with any de-
gree of success. Therefore, I do not favor
foot ball for everybody. It is, of course, a
valuable exercise to those, as 1 say, who
are able to play it.
. “So I think foot ball should not be pro-

Some legislator can do the state a real
service by mastering the subject of juven-
ile crimes and preparing a statute that
will cover the cases of youthful firebugs,
robbers and murderers who now escape
under the state’s inability to prove that
boys under 14 know right from wrong.
Gov. Culberson’s Thanksgiving procla-
mation observes: “The soil has .yielded
bountifully to the husbandman, and,
President Eliot of Howard comes to the
defense of foot ball as a proper game for
strong men and protests against con-
demnation of the sport because of a few
accidents. As he contends the accidents
in football are not more frequent than in
other athletic games. But the trouble
with foot ball is the brutality which it
permits. This is the point of reform,
which friends of the sport must look to.
Accidents are unavoidable, but brutality
is inexcusable.

Mr. S. D. Parkhurst of this city has
received from his sister, Mrs. H. S. Hunt
of Quitman county, in the state of Wash-
ington, whose ancestors came over in the
Mayflower, a copy of the “The New Eng-
land Courant,” the first paper printed
by Benjamin Franklin, .which is claimed
to be one of the original issue, but is
more likely a fac simile printed a num-
ber of years since, as the writer has
seen at least a half dozen copies of
“first Issues” of the Courant at different
times.
The paper is a small two column
broadside, “printed and folded by Ben-
jamin Franklin, in Queen street, Boston,
where advertisements are taken in.” It
bears the date: “From Monday, Feb. 4,
to Monday Feb. 11, 1723,” and is number
80 of the series. It contains news from
England, a few local items, marine news
and two small advertisements.
PUDDIN’H'EAD WILSON.
“Puddin’head Wilson,” the dramatiza-
tion of Mark Twain’s,story of that name,
will be seen in this city for the first time
at an early date. The .play lias been
received in theatrical centers with the
greatest favor, and jwill take a prominent
place when the catalogue of original and
real American dramas, is compiled. The
Missouri folk of anti-bellum days are
vividly presented, and every separate
character, according to the critics, has
that remarkable touch of reality which is
so hard to catch in putting a story on
the stage. The play will be presented
here by the well known!'actor, Mr. Theo-
dore Hamilton, and a strong cast. On
the death of Frank Mayo who dramatized
the piece, Theodore Jj-Iamilton was selected
to assume the title. jjple.
THE SCALCHI CONCERT.
The nearest approach that we are likely
to get of really grand opera this season
will be that which Mme. Scalchi will give
us on Thursday next (Thanksgiving night)
at the Grand opera house. It goes with-
out saying, that such names as Scalchi,
Toulinguet, the remarkable prlma donna
soprano of the Mapleson Imperial opera
company, W. Thomas McQueen, the great
tenor; Mlle, du Bedat, late of- the Carl
Rosa opera company, and Achille,
the baritone, will give an operatic
performance as complete in every detail
as can be gotteh up.
Aside from the two acts of opera there
will be a complete concert program which
will introduce Mme. Scalchi in some of
the great songs for which she is famous.
Manager Fred G. Weis closed his sub-
scription list yesterday and it is one of
the largest that has ever been out in
Galveston. Seats were put on sale today.

The bicycle has come to be such an
everyday possession that inventions look-
ing to betterment or alteration have as
great an interest for the common mind as
anything of ordinary necessity. For
some time the manufacturers have been
experimenting with the chainless bevel
gear wheel and that machine is now
definitely announced for next year’s trade.
A few days ago a New York manufacturer
exhibited a wheel in which the power is
transmitted by means of two mould
sprocket wheels and two levers or piston
rods connecting the crank axle with the
rear wheel. Thq sprocket wheels are
connected by a short band chain and one
entirely enclosed. The rear sprocket
turns a shaft that drives the levers, one
on either side of the rear wheel, and so
adjusted that it is claimed they can not
come to a dead center.
The description may be clear to a me-
chanical mind, mystifying as it is to an
ordinary understanding. The chief point
of interest is that the machine is pro-
nounced successful by an expert rider for
the New York Herald.
But whether the chainless wheel is to
be run by bevel gear or sprocket and pis-
itlon, the indications! are that it has
reached the stage of successful test under
ideal conditions. The unprofessional
riders will pass judgment later and upon
their opinion will depend the financial
success of the venture.
It is announced that the chainless
wheels are to be sold at $100 and upward.
Of course an extra high price is neces-
sary to pay for the experiments and cost
of introduction. But as the chainless
wheel comes higher, the chain wheel will
go lower and the result Will be that while
the fastidious, the expert and the rich
ride the novelties and' talk proudly of
bevel gears and piston rods, the common
mortal will pedal along on a good old
chain wheel content to get as much com-
fort at less cost.
The chainless will be a comparative
novelty for some time to come. And
meanwhile you will have ample time to
wear out a new. chain wheel before it
is so entirely out of fashion as to be un-
pleasantly conspicuous.

A Court Officer Explains How Convictions
Are Impossible;
The grand jury has investigated the
bhiarges against Edmund McCullough,
alias “Golddust,” who confesses to having
started a number o<f incendiary fires
and who wias charged in Justice Barry’s
court with firing the feed store of C.
Eisenfelder & Co. June 1 last. It is not
known what action the grand jury has
taken and officers of the criminal court
do not seem to think that it makes much
difference whether or not an indictment
is returned.
“Golddust” is apparently about 10 years
old, though he may be older. An officer
of the court in discussing the matter
this morning said that the law presumes
that a child under nine years of age does
not know right from wrong. Between
the ages of nine and 14, in order to secure
a conviction, it is necessary for the state
to prove that the child did know right
from wrong. Under the present statutes
the state has never been able to do this
so far as the court officer referred to
knows, and according to his opinion no
convictions are possible under the law as
it now stands.
“A great many people apply to the
court,” said this officer, “to send their
incorrigible children to the reformatory
maintained by the state. This the court
can not do unless the child be convicted ot
a felony which would send him to the
penitentiary were he a man. As the con-
viction can not be secured under the law,
it is impossible to do anything with these
children and it is a waste of both time
and money to arrest them.
“That these boys are a menace to the
peace of the community and that they
should be restrained there is no question.
But how to do it under existing laws is
a very serious problem.”
I cannot speak too highly of Mrs.
Pinkham’s Medicine, for it has done so
rmioh for me. I have been a great suf-
ferer from Kidney trouble, pains in
muscles, joints, back and shoulders;
feet would swell. I also had womb
troubles and leucorrhoea. After using
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound, and Blood Purifier and Liver
Pills, I felt like a new woman. My
kidneys are now in perfect condition,
and all my other troubles are cured.—
Mrs. Maggie Potts, 824 Kauffman St.,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Backache.
My system was entirely run down,
and I suffered with terrible backache
in the small of my back and could
hardly stand upright. I was more
tired in the morning than on retiring
at night. I had no appetite. Since
taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, I have gained fifteen pounds,
and I look better than I ever looked
before. I shall recommend it to all
my friends, as it certainly is a wonder-
ful medicine.—Mrs. E. F. Morton, 1043
Hopkins St., Cincinnati, Ohio.
Kidney Trouble.
Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, I had suffered
many years with kidney trouble. The
pains in my back and shoulders were
terrible. My menstruation became ir-
regular, and I was troubled with leu-
corrhcea. I was growing very weak. I
had been to many physicians but re-
ceived no benefit. I began the use of
Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine, and the first
bottle relieved the pain in my back
and regulated the menses. It is the
best kind of medicine that I have ever
taken, for it relieved the pain so quickly
and cured the disease.—Mrs. Lillian
Crippen, Box 77, St. Andrews Bay, Fla.
• For I say unto you, That every idle word
that men shall speak, they shall give ac-
count thereof in the day of judgment.—
Matt. 12, 36.
Christ had been performing miracles
and casting out devils; and the Pharisees,
at once hypocritical and hypercritical, un-
able to combat his power and too coward-
ly to openly challenge the integrity of his
work, had whispered, “This fellow doth
not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub, the
prince of devils.” The master, knowing
their thoughts, rebuked them and demon-
strated with convincing logic that Satan
could not cast out himself without de-
stroying himself. Therefore if Christ
were really casting out devils, which the
Pharisees did. not deny, his power must
be other than Satanic. After the argu-
ment he uttered the words of the text as a
rebuke to idle end slanderous speech.
Hew many in this day, like the Phar-
isees of old, hearing a good speech or
seeing a good deed and not daring to
combat it, whisper insinuations against
its motive. Public men and newspapers
rarely escape such Pharisaism. True, we
have reason, in these times of deceit and
demagagy, to be skeptical of men who
parade their goodness or cleverness, but
so long as their goodness or cleverness is
of value, let us not discourage it but
rather promote it, to the end that it may
become habitual, for habit is second na-
ture, and second nature may grow so like
the real nature as not to be discerned
even by the hypocrite himself. Thus we
may get good out of evil and make virtue
of vanity.
We are too prone to disparage others,
though we may not be so immodest as to
publicly praise ourselves. The weakness
is especially manifest in relations of rival-
ry. Whether in business competition, so-
cial distinction or intellectual endeavor,
we are tempted to speak with an idle
tongue. The other merchant’s goods are
old stock, the other woman’s function is
cheap imitation, the other writer’s figures
are borrowed or stale.
Such speech is as foolish as it is unbe-
coming. No man is really in the way of
another, for the ways in this life are so
many that each may pursue a path unhin-
dered and alone to the utmost reach of his
ability. No merchant can supply all the
consumers with all they need. No woman
can completely fill the social eye. No man
can monopolize the world's applause.
Most important of all, we can not shine
by dimming the lights of others. The
candle is but a candle, though the electric
lamp go out, and for all our little splutter-
ing the world will not be content without
another arc light. So, if we can not be
dazzling electric arcs, let us be useful
tallow dips to light the darkness while
another carbon is being adjusted; or if we
be arcs, let us not waste our flame in
spitting sparks at others that rival us.
Certainly let us not despise the candle
lights which serve to measure electric in-
tensity.
* * #
But there is another sort of idle tongue
which the text rebukes by inference if not
by exegesis. It is really not idle except in
the quality of what it says, for it is per-
niciously active with idle speech. It is the
tell tale tongue. Hotv expressive are those
old Anglo-Saxon words. Tell-tale—telling
tales; imparting nothing of instruction;
relating nothing of advantage; simply
wagging an idle tongue; tattling at un-
willing ears and pestering busy brains.
And it is not only a wasteful but a
wanton tongue, not only a foolish but a
vicious tongue. It likes not goodness, it
abhors industry, it scouts virtue—not
boldly, but sneakingly, whispering an “I
heard” and smirking a “Don’t say I told
you,” too lazy to have learned the truth
and too cowardly to bear responsibility.
You will observe the text says “men.”
Of course, this is generic and includes
But it is worth while saying—
because it is true and because the con-
trary is too often said—that men are more
given to telling tales than women. I war-
rant you will hear more gossip on the
street corner than at the sewing society—
and worse gossip, infinitely worse. It is
marvelous how much scandal some men
know, and pitiable how they delight to
tell it. There are even men of affairs who
will deliver more choice gossip in five
minutes over a social glass than a tattling
woman can tell at a whole day’s quilting.
But as a rule the busy mind is cautious
of speech, and in general the tattling
tongue proclaims an idle if not a shallow
brain. Out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh; so out of the empti-
ness of the pate the tongue prattleth.
But the idle tongue does more than ar-
gue an idle mind. It bespeaks a wicked
heart. Evil report, though true, is. un-
welcome to a well ordered understanding,
and if it must be heard will be dismissed
as a thing unworthy of occupying the
thought even for a moment, much less of
being repeated. Just as a sensitive palate
will spit out distasteful food, so will the
person of proper self esteem reject a piece
of gossip, though through politeness to
the relator he may listen without betray-
ing his disgust.
I never hear a slander without feeling
as much pity for the slanderer as for the
slandered, and I am sure the one needs
our prayers quite as much as the other de-
serves our compassion.
For the masculine tell tale there is per-
haps no remedy but the rebuke of silence
and a change of topic. For the feminine
tell tale I append the advice of St. Paul to
Timothy, concerning young widows, and
recommend it alike for all unmarried
women:
And withal they learn to be idle, wan-
dering about from house to house; and
not only idle, but tattlers also and busy-
bodies, speaking things which they ought
not. I will, therefore, that the younger
women shall marry, bear children, guide
the house, give none occasion to the ad-
versary to speak reproachfully.—2 Tim-
othy 6/13 and 14.
