price of oil went up to the Amer-

Witte, the Russian minister of
finance, has made several efforts
to induce the oil proprietors to
content themselves with a reas-
onable profit. Having failed in
his laudable purpose, the Russian
government is now preparing a
comprehensive scheme to pur-
chase the oil fields and to operate
them as government property.
The owners will be dealt with
liberally, but even after paying
them more than they ought to
get the government expects to
sell oil for half the present price
and make a large profit for the
exchequer.
We are unable to do this at
present, because the trusts own

United States bonds are ad-

When the refunding begins un-
der the Republican financial
scheme, the premium paid by the
government for the old bonds will
amount to so enormous a sum
that, added to the .extension of
time, the national debt will be in-
creased by several hundred mil-
lions, all of which goes into the
pockets of the banks, bankers
and money lenders and comes
out of the pockets of the people.
This mortgage on posterity is
easily figured. The interest bear-
ing debt amounts to $850,000,000
and has nine years to run at 4
per cent; increased to thirty
years, to run at 2 per cent, with
premium on old bonds now quot-
ed at 134 and advancing. Let
any elementary artithmetician
make-the calculation.
Who gets this profit, and who
pays for it? The answer is not
far from every American citizen’s
pocketbook.

te print the books free if he were
allowed to put in some adver-

on the following Sunday after
the books had been printed
found themselves singing as
follows:
“Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Use Carter’s pills while here below.”
F. B. Holland thought that if
space had no* actual value then
the newspaper men are the great-
est frauds and swindlers on earth.
He argued very strongly against
the injustice done the home ad-
vertisers by the use of ready
prints. John H. Cullom of the
Garland News said the subject
had been a source of discussion
in the association as long as he
could remember. and nothing
new had developed in it. R.
Wilson of Lockhart said that by
disscussing the question that the
association was merely giving
free advertising to a growing
trust. Editor J. G. Rankin, who
has been in the newspaper busi-
ness since “66” thought that
everyone engaged in the news-
paper business ought to control
all his space. He had never
found it necessary to use ready
print. “Mary Jane” Cox said
that for fifteen years it had been
his duty to start the discussion
of the “ready prints” question.
He was late in getting to the
hall, and retuned thanks to the
gentlemen who took off his
shoulders the duty of beginning
the discussion.
J. E. Verner of the Lampasas
Leader read an able paper on the
subject of “How to Hold Sub-
scribers.” Mr. Roche said ‘that
as he had differed with Mr. Ver-
nor on the “ready print” ques-
tion, he was glad to agree with
him on how to hold subscribers.
Others eomplirr.snted the
W. M. Reilley, editor of thT* UO1,7T?
Denton Record and Chronicle,
read a paper, “Which makes the
Better Boss, the Proprietor or
the Public?” Mr, Reilley’s pa-
per was generally complimented,
several saying it was the very
best of the program.
Mr. C. N. Ousley, the poet-
elect of the occasion, was Intro-
duced by President Mayes. Mr.
Ousley said he had found it im-
possible to turn out a poem to
order. He was present he said
to supplement the invitation
given at the Dallas meeting for
the association to hold its final
meeting of the present trip in
Galveston. But as the visit
would occur on Easter Sunday,
the entertainment offered would
be of a modest kind. It would
consist in the main of a car ride
about the city in the morning,
and a visit to the monument erect-
ed to the memory of Texas He-
roes by the request of Henry
Rosenberg, after an opportunity
to attend church Mr. Ousley said
the visitors will be given a ride
around the bay and a lunch at
O’Keef’s. Here Mr. Ousley read
some lines about the place Mr.
O’Keefe keeps, but enjoined the'
press gallery that they were not
for publication.
The report of the executive
committee was read as follows:

Y Saturday, April
The second day in the history
Gmfthe twenty-first annual ses-
soa of the Texas Press Associa-
tion was a delightful one. The
chiU suggesting frost that char-
aeterized the preceding day was
^a^iffely gone, and the reign of
rgentle spring, temporarily inter-
rupted by Col. Jack Frost, who
.had been reestablished. Thurs-
day the visiting editors who had
ieffi their overcoats at home,
thought they had overlooked an
important bet. Friday the same
editors were making overtures
■to the weather clerk with a palm
fan.
The order of business Friday
devoted mainly to the literary
program, which consumed most
the morning session, and to a
carriage drive which took up the
satire afternoon, thus maintain-
afeg a happy equilibrum between
mental and physical efforts.
The morning session began at
•S- o’clock. The committee on
membership made a supplemental
report, and at their recommenda-
the following were elected
to active membership: John H.
Brooks, Weimer Mercury; W.
Thomas, Post Signal, Pilot
PUmt.; H. Stanberry, Argus,
Midlothian; Honorary member-
. ship was conferred upon general
passenger agent A. A. Glisson of
dh® Fort Worth and Denver City
■wailroad and Traveling Passen-
Agent S. A. Kendig of the
iSalf. Colorado and Santa Fe
railroad. Both Gentlemen were
.eseorted to the platform by
Messrs. Robison and Rankin and
bMh made happy speeches,
Sajanking the association for the
fcuor conferred and offering
respective lines to the
association at any time it saw fit
to,, use them. Mr. Glisson said
w&sn the sultry summer days
cam® again it would be a good
idea for the association to “cool
by a trip over the “Denver
to the mountains. In
connection a letter was read

fall meeting to be for the pur-
pose of passing upon applications
for membership and such other
matters as may come before the
association.”
Col. R. M. Johnston opposed
the proposition of two sessions a
year and cited the South and
West Teqas Association which
has abandoned the two meetings
for an annual meeting. Mr.
Johnston thought it better to
have one good meeting annually
than two poor ones. J. H. Cul-
lum opposed the change, F. B.
Baillio fovored it. W. B. Neel
moved to strike out that portion
of the committees’ report and
adopt the balance, and after
voting on a motion to table, and
to substitute, the previous ques-
tion was called and the proposed
change in the constiution was
snowed under by a very decisive
vote.
The committee on resolutions
reported adversely on the resolu-
tion introduced by W. W. Dexter
by which it was intended to
organize and provide for a mor-
tality fund as an auxiliary to the
association.
The report of the committee on
libel, of which Mr, Senter is
chairman, was made the special
order of business for this morn-
ing at ten o’clock.
A meeting of the finance com-
mittee, of which J. E. Vernor is
chairman, was held at seven
o,clock Friday night. Treasurer
C. B. Lehmann arrived from
Hallettsville in the afternoon,
having been prevented by high
water from coming earlier.
The committee on memorials
held a meeting in the afternoon
and drafted resolutions to be read
at the morning session today.

the membership an invitation to
come back home to Houston for
its next annaul meeting. It was
there that it was organized and
there several of its meetings were
held in the first years of exis-
tence. The remarks of Mr.
Johnston were warmly applaud-
ed.
President Mayes announced
that the place for holding the
next meeting would be decided
this morning just after the elec-
tion of officers.
The editors were tendered a
carriage ride about the city
during’the afternoon and at night
the Athletic club gave a ball in
their honor. Some days ago a
committee consisting of Harry
Haynes, C. B. Gillespie and
George Tucker was appointed to
prepare some statistics for the of
the visitors during their sojourn
here and to be used as reference
after their return home. Prior
to the carriage drive about the
city statistics in pamphlet form
were given out as follows: < The
