How'd you-.like to I© the coal
irán? ~
New Yorle i having an 44L" of a
tirn? with its i'L" roads.
In time of peaco prepare far war.
Having prepared don't let your guns
grow rusty.1- y\
The fuel situation has made the
public hot in the collar and provided
it with cold feet.
For once Senator Quay is attempt-
ing to carry out the people's will
and the party's pledges.
Every time we put a shovel full of
coal in the furnace we thank God
and think of Deacon Baer.
The voter who desires to know
where his money goes should watch
the House pass pension bills.
Crack base ball players get from
S7,000 to $10,000 a year; cracked
professional men from $700 to $0.
-■' A characterless presidential mes-
sage promises to be followed by a
characterless congressional session.
Folly and want are parent and
cMli. Industrial idiocy and a coal
famine arj of the same relationship,
we believe.
;If Postmaster General Payne has
% way the power of life and death
q;.;er the press of the country will be
conferred on him. *
„ The territorial bill promises to
tflctke an excellent barricade in the
ScnnU to prevent the progress of
' anti-trust legislation.
Perhaps the Allies consider their
bombardment of Puerto Cabello as
more target practice incident to"
t'.ieir peaceable blockade.
There is a difference between get-
ting $10,000 a year because you
arc worth it and being worth $10,-
000 a year because you get it.
The officers of the revenue cutter
Bear, on their recent trip to the
Arctic occan, found a hut of prehis-
! oric build which they estimate to be
more than 3000 years old. In the
':ul were found the utensils formerly
belonging to the builders.
Even in the face of the present
::-arcily of coal and the monopoly oí
t4Yc natural supply Congressman Me-
Call's bill authorizing free trade in
that product between the United
.'Hates and Canada will receive no
consideration from the republican
. -Tijority.

There Í3 a growing suspicion that
the administration sanctioned the
attack on Veneuzela with a view to
strengthening its demands for a lar-
ger navy.
All the heroes are not confined to
to the stage. A New Yorkboy kept
his elevator running during a fire
and thereby saved scores of lives at
the risk of his own.
The sacred tariff schedules will
not be touched at this session of
congress and the protected inter-
ests will be looked to for the usual
campaign contribution two years
hence.
It has been said of the late
Thomas Nast that he caricatured
Tweed into jail, the Tammany
judges off the bench, David Dudley
Field out of court and Horace Grccly
to defeat and death.
Even the president is ready to
repudiate the promises of the repub-
lican national platforn when it
comes to a possible increase of the
democratic majority in the senate by
the admission of the territories.
Representative Gaines of Tennes-
see recently moved to amend a bill
admitting some bonded tea free of
duty, by removing the tariff on coal.
"Will the gentleman inform me
what possible connection there is
.between tea and coal?" asked Mr.
Payne, sarcastically. "I thought
you n.ight want a little coal to warm
your tea with," ras th* prompt re-
ply.
The appropriation of half a mil-
lion dollars to be distributed among
such lawyers as Attorney General
Knox may see fit to favor, appears
to be about all the trust legislation
congress will enact this winter.
Senator Cullom's trust bill has a
most inviting feature. It provides
for the appointment of some fifty
spies to watch the trusts. With
fifty new appointees, Mr. Cullom
can afford to risk the displeasure of
the trusts.
The Kaiser wishes to be quite
friendly to Uncle Sam. He also
wishes Uncle Sam to let him do just
as he, the Kaiser, pleases. Thank
you, Mr. William, we know a "jolly"
when we see it and we will' see you
and go you one better.
We don't v/ant war over the mis-
erable Venezuelan mess and we don't
want any trifling with our rights or
with our policy either Germany
has fooled England into making a
spectacle of herself, but she will not
be able to hold the English as
against us.
"If we need a navy equal to Great
Britain's why not a standing army
equal to Germany's? Then, with
several hundred thousand wage
earners removed frem their sphere
of usefulness and trained only in the
art of cutting the throats Of their
fellowmen, the remainder cf the wage
workers can work over time to sup-
port the soldiers and sailors and
their families.
Postmaster General Payne recom-
mends that he be permitted to si y
what are and what are not newspa
pers and it would be easy for him,
if so disposed, to limit second-class
privileges to those publications whose
editorial policy conformed with his
own views.
The Shah of Persia has in his pal-
ace at Teheran a throne, called the
Peacock Throne, covered with gold
and wonderful gems, the value of
which competent jewelers have
placed at $20,000,000. Enough to
build six first-class battleships or
finance a small war.
It is seriously to be feared that
the amendment recently passed by
the house of representatives, in-
creasing the length of time cattle
may be deprived of water, food and
rest in transit from 28 to 40 hcurs,
may become a law by the concur-
rence of the senate therewith, un-
less the friends of animal life
throughout the country protest and
individually and collectively reques
the Senators to defeat the amend
ment.
A vessel owner recently saile
from New York with wheat value
at $30,000. In Great Britain he]
exchanged it for cutlery which he
carried to Brazil and there ex-
changed it for coffee. When he re-
turned to New York his coffee cargo
was valued at $20,000. The bal-l
ance of trade was $10,000 in favor
of the United States and the official
told the skipper that the countr
was $10,000 richer, but as he had
lost $10,000 on the transaction he
could not understand that method of
getting rich.
A Testimonial.

Gentlemen: In regard to th-
Leader Windmill, I will say that
purchased my first Leader Windmii
some five or six years ago, and fot
the last three years I have used 11c
other Wood Mrll on the XIT ranch
except the Leader mill. I consider
the Leader Mill fully as good a. mil
in every respect as the Eclipse Mill,
in fact it i3 an exact duplicate c!
the Eclipse Mill, every piece of th€
Leader Mill being interchangeable
with the Eclipse.
Yours truly,
A. G. Bcycé,
42tf Manager XIT Ranch
