It would not be unwise to cast your ballot for Harry B. Barn-
hart for County Attorney. Mr. Barnhart is a safe and reliable
young lawyer, worthy of all trust and confidence—a new man in
the limelight seeking promotion and is asking the support of his
candidacy with a sacred promise that he will endeavor to discharge
the duties of the office of County Attorney, faithfully and consci-
entiously.
Mr. Barnhart’s experience for years as Assistant City Attor-
ney and latter Assistant County Attorney gave him knowledge and
experience which will enable him to serve the people with in-
creas efficiency.

however, until after Mr. Wade had

doing so. The institute voted for the
postponement.

The Nation-wide fight of inilroad
employes for higher wages, which may
result in a strike that win tie up the
traffic of the country was put before
the Institute by Judge Hiram Glass of
to Austin ostensibly to the State In-
stitute, but do not attend any of Its
sessions, and the presentation to the
State instute of the railroad side of
the threatened Natlon-wldo strike of
railroad employee were features of to-
day’s session of the Harmers' Insti-
tute.
Homer D. Wade, chairman of the
ccmmittee on constitution and by-laws,
precipitated the fight over reductfon
of representation whej he presented
recommendations that each local insti-
tute be allowed one delegate at large
and on for each fifty members, the
maximum number of delegates from
any local not to exceed five, or one at
largo ana one for each thirty-five mcm-
beta, the maximum not to exceed seven.
The present basis of representation
is one delegate at large from each
local and one for each twenty-five
members, the maximum not to exceed
ten delesates.
Mr. Wade pointed out that although
there are nearly 4000 persons here, the
attendance this morning did not ex-
ceed 500. Ho said one railroad has
frsue 1800 passes to delegates to this
institute and he regarded the failure

Three burglaries were reported to
the police Monday night and Tuesday
morning. One was in the Austin Na-
tional Bank building, where two other
depredations have occurred within a
short time. The burglars are believed
to be professonals, since they suc-
ceeded in opening the door of a safe,
cne of the kind that has a simple lock.
The haul was small. One took two
pairs of trousers from the house at
1’308 Guadalupe Street, and one entered
the home of Mrs. R. S. Young at 2804
Nueces Street.
The police have under arrest four
men that are believed by Chief W. J.
Morris to be guilty of these and other
burglaries, though it is doubtful if he

It appears that those who made the
arrests failed to search the men until
they were taken to the station, and
when searched nothing incriminating
was found upon them. However, at
the place where they alighted from an
automobile in which they were taken
to th© station two watches were later
found on the ground. The watches were
identified as the same that were taken
from a boarding house not long ago.

Austin, counsel for various railroads,
in the* course of an address on "The
Relation the Railroads and Farmers
Bear to Each Other.” Judge Glass said •
that the trainmen have demanded an
eight-hour day at the same wages as
are now paid for a ten-hour day and
with a provision for payment of one
nnd one-hnlf wages for overtime. He
pointed put that a man making $4 a
day under the present scale, would, if
be worked twelve hours Instead of ten.
receive $4.80, but if the eight-hour
day is adopted with the same wages,
making the hourly wage ’60 cents in-
stead of 40. a man working twelve
hours will recclce 57 for his day’s work
of which 54 will be regular pay and <
13 overtime.
"As those who will have to pay the •
increased rates you are deeply inter- 1
ested in this question,- said Judge
Glass, “and It is your duty to inquire
into it. Directly the farmers ard pro-
ducers pay the hulk of the operating
expenses of the railroaCs and indi-
rectly they pay them all."
Judge Glass also referred to the
great loss of life among trespassers on
railroad property and asked the farm-
era to join in asking passage of an
act making it a misdemeanor to tres-
pass on railroad property. More than
116,000 trespassers have been killed
since 1890, ho said, “an army of citi-
zens greater far than the army which
the United States has in Mexico and
on th border at-this-time.-------------
Following Judge Glass' nddrers Mr.
Davi declared that ho would rule out
of order any resolution taking a stand i
on th© controversy between the rail- I
roads and their employes. As Judge ‘
Glass had seen fit to bring this con- [
troversy befor© the institute, he said, f
a representative of the employes would :
be allowed to present the employes’
side of the dispute at the night session
of the Institute to bo held at the Uni-
versity.
Immetately following th© talk of
Judge Glass and the remarks of Mr.
Davis, Tom Hines of Venus, represent-
ing the Mulo and Jack Association of
Texas, made a v.ery interesting talk on
what might be considered a rather
prosato subject. Tht* arsoctatlon is

should be taught in all the public

ty, a former legislator and now con-
nected with the Department of Agri-

warehouse ond marketing law should
be administered by the Department of
Agrlculture% It is now ‘administered
by a separate department. Mr. Terrell
said the change would mean a saving
of $50,000 a year.
•Mr. Terrell’s subject was "Market-
ing Perishable Products,” and he said
that 15,000 carloads of perishable prod-
