MISCONSTRUING HOGG’S SPEECH.
Under the caption of “Texas Praise for Roose-
velt" the St Louis Globe-Democrat the wildest
and most visionary of Republican journals, with
the exception of the Chicago Chronicle, has the
following to say:
■x-Govemor Hogg of Texas is one of the hun-
dreds of thousands of Democrats who Uke Roome-
velt better than they do Parker. The ex-governor
says Roosevelt is the better Democrat, which, of
course, is true if the term be used in its broad Im-
port Colonel Roosevelt is more Democratic in he
social sense. He is braver, more tolerant, more
sincere, more frank. The Republican candidate is
a good deal better American than Is his Democratic
antagonist he is far more popular personally and
he has made a much more satistactory President
than his rival ever could do.
Texas will give its electoral vote to Parker.
The Republicans are not looking for any material
support from that state, despite Roomeveit‛» per-
sonal popularity and Parkers personal unpopu-
larity there. In fact the Republicans are not
counting confidently on carrying any of the South-
ern States in 1904 except Delaware and West Vir-
ginia. They think Maryland will go back to the
Democrats, for the time, at bait Throughout
the West, on the other hand, the Republicans ex-
poet to make a clean sweep. They will not only
carry all the states they had in 1300, but will gain
the four states—Colorado, Montana, Idaho and
Nevada—which Bryan held that year.
But, though ex-Governor Hogg’s state will not
give any electoral votes to the Republicans this
year, his expressions in favor of Rcomeveit and
against Parker represent a sentiment which per-

papers have construed it. We do not say that his
language did not warrant the construction, how-
ever, for It did. And we expected the Republican
press to so use it.. ’
The Globe-Democrat’s claim that the anti-Parker
sentiment among Southern Democrats will result
in congressional gains for the Republican party
in the Southern states is too aboard for considera-
tion.
Roosevelt is one man who has no love Tor the
South, and the South, excepting the small crowd
that lingers around the federal pie counter, has
little regard for him. Judge Parker was almost
the unanimous choice ot the South at the St
Louis convention and he grows In popularity here
as the campaign progresses as he is growing In
popularity In all parts of the country.
Even when properly construed, what Governor
Hoge said st the Houston convention represents
no considerable portion of the Southern Democ-
racy; and. misconstrued, represents less.
It all goes to show that there la no little virtue
in political lockjaw, especially when the ailment

Whatever Governor Hogg may have meant by
his allumtons to President Roosevelt and Judge
Parker last week—and we amsume he meant just
what hs said-we cannot agree to the propositon
that his speech indicated any widespread admira-
tion for Roose vslt In this section of the country.
Neither did it indicate that Judge Parker was un-
popular. The Globe-Democrat evidently misun-
derstands the whole situation.
Governor Hogg spoke as an individual, and what
ha mid about Roosevelt and Parker eras not in-
dorsed by 1 per cent of the delegates in the con-

THE "WRONG MR. WRIGHT."
Secretary Cowherd of the Democratic congres-
sional committee has made a strong answer to the
recent bulletin of the Wrong Mr. Wright, but it
was scarcely worth his while to devote so much
time to setting forth the startling fnaccurcies of
that remarkable production. We believe the
committee of which Mr. Cowherd is the head
can do nothin* better than to give the bulletin
the widest possible circulation. Of the 30,000,000
people engaged in gainful occupations in the
United States there are probably not 1,080,000 but
who know from their own experience that the
Wright bulletin is a rank fake.
Those who dabble with statistics to any extent
know that it is almost possible to prove any propo-
sition of official figures, and when we recall the
skill of Mr. Wright in statistical jugglery we must
admit that we are surprised at his moderation.
Why did he not go ahead and prove that wages
had increased 50 per cent while the cost of livin*
had decreased 50 per cent during the period he
uses for his comparisons?
The fact that labor is suffering more at this
time than for ten years past is apparent to every
man in the country. There are more unemployed
laborers now than there have been at any time
during eight years. Wages have been falling in
numerous lines of industry and business, and the
cost of living has been moving upward right along.
Every housewife in the country knows this and
Mr. Wright might figure till doomsday to prove
the contrary without convincing a soul.
The anthracite coal operators are supplying coal
to meet all demands. They did so last winter
and will probably do so again this winter, but
they have raised the price since the strike of
two years ago and do not intend to reduce it again.
What do Mr. Wright’s figures amount to when
confronted by such facts as these? So we say, let
the Republican committee circulate the Wright
bulletin. Let the Democratic campaign committees
do likewise. The fact that the Republicans claim
higher wages and lower cost of living carries with
the assertion the boast that they are responsible for
the present state of affairs. The consumers and
laborers of the country know the facts without
any statistical proof, and they know that Wright’s
figures lie. but it cannot be denied that the
figures were made to prove that the Republican
party has brought about the present conditions.
Let us be generous enough to concede at least
this claim, if they insist upon it.
It is about as good Democratic thunder as we
could wish.
FARMERS’ UNION.
This organisation, having for its object the
exchange of ideas on farm work, the eliciting
of co-operation in the sale of farm commodities,
the establishment of a more equitable basis of
traffic and the general advancement of the farmer,
is holding its annual meeting in our city.
Perhaps never before in her history has Fort
North had the pleasure of entertaining so large
B body of mH representing the most important in-
terests of our state—its agricultural resources—
and it is hoped that their visit may be both, pleas-
ant and profitable.
If rapid growth is indicative of the necessity
for an organization, the Farmers' union must
fill a long felt want, for, though only organized
two years ago, it boasts a membership of 100,000
farmers.
There can be no question but what this is go-
Ang to prove a record-breaking year along the line
of agricultural development in Texas. There are
many causes for this unusual progress, but per-
haps the leading one is diversification. The Texas
people themselves had no conception of the pos-
sibilities of Texas soil until they began to seek
consolaton for the effeects of the boll weevil by
turning attention to a variety of crops. The re-
sults have been simply astounding. It has brought
on an area of truck farming that has not only
added millions to the wealth of the state, but
statistical publication of the results has attracted
world-wide attention.
In addition to this, the educational work of the
Agricultural and Mechanical college and the ex-
perimental stations has given the farmer the bene-
fit of new and scientific methods. These ideas,
added to a broad experience, have almost revolu-
tionized Texas farming.
Another and a very great advantage has been
the placing of our agricultural and horticultural
products on exhibitton at the World’s Fair. The
effects of this wise movement can already be seen
and are going to prove more far-reaching than can
now be imagined. And now, when farmers begin
to organise* study methods, exchange ideas, pay
store attention to shipping and selling, the agri-
Suitural interests of the state will necr—irily take
another step forward.
Deeply impressed with the importance and value
of our farming resources and valuing any and all
honorable means of advancing the same, we wish
the Farmers’ Educational and Co-operative asso-

GEORGE GRAHAM VEST.
Death came to George Graham Vest aa aleop
eomes to the weary toller at the clone of day.
Throughout a Ion* and consptcuous career he was
* faithrut servant of his country and he honored
every station to which his people called him. He
wil he remembered Ion* for his lofty statesman-
ship, his incomparable eloquence and his patriotic
devotion to the country. In all respects he was the
Ideal senator and at all times he was the typical
Bouthern renttetan of the old pchooL, with the
mont scrupulous sense of honor, courageous In all
the ementiais of exalted manhood, rifted with
mang of the elements at genius and in hi private
Ite a citiaen without suite.
Vest wax Southern through and through. Born
in the border Mate of Kentucky and remdent of
e the border state of Mimsouri tor more than hait a
B " eentury, he came in daily contact from Ma birth
with Northern men. Northern principles and
northern thought but his environment novar for
a moment shook hl. loyalty to Southern ideais
nor hie devotion to the South itself. In the stormy
days precedtne the civil war in Mimsourt he spoke

which depressed stocks yesterday ware
still in force today and were ettec-
live during the early part of the

not prevent an effective rally in the
latter part of the day. An element
in the rally was the buying to cover
by professional operations who wure
disappointed that the adverse factors
in the outlook had not induced others
than themseives to sell stocks Also
the buyin* to support the market was
attributed to inflential and powergul
sources which had the ettect of als-

reunited country was ever regarded by Senator
Vest as one of the sacred memories of his life.
As a United States senator he was ever quick to
defend the lost cause against the aspersions of
Northern seetionalists. It was ever a privilege for
him to enlighten his colleagues as to the lofty
characters who founded the Confederacy and the
great soldiers who led the Southern armies. He
never had any apology to make for his part in
the great crisis of the early sixties, and he be-
lieved in the righteousness of the Southern cause
until consciousness faded into eternal slumber.
In the earlier years of his service in the United
States senate, sectionaliam was rampant, and at
times passion blazed at white heat Vest was in
the front with the great Ben Hill, the noble Vance,
the brilliant Lamar and the peerless Hampton de-
fending the South. But he lived to see the day
when he could speak of his former comrades and
command the respect and attention of the whole
country. Almost the last speech he made in the
senate was on the occasion of the death of Wade
Hampton not many months ago.
Racked, with pain and infirmity during a de-
bate of unusual acerbity, he directed the attention
of the senate to the death of his friend, and such
a tribute has rarely been uttered to the memory
of any man. Every occupant of the senate cham-
ber was enthralled by his eloquence, and the
spectacle of great senators brushing the tears from
their cheeks as Vest’s words stirred their emotions
was one never to be forgotten.
It is unnecessary to refer at length to his great
career in the senate. The country is quite familiar
with it. He won the place of honor and main-
tained It with distinction until falling health com-
pelled him to seek the restful shades of his simple
country home where he could await in peace the
final summons.
It is God’s decree that human life shall be
confined within the narrow limitations of a hand-
full of years, and we bow reverently to immutable
law as we contemplate the loss of George Graham
Vest. We are thankful that our country has been
blessed and ennobled by such a career; we are
grateful that human virtue has In our own time
been so superbly exemplified; we find inexpressible
satisfaction in the contemplation that honor has
in our generation been able to boast this chival-
rous paladin; we rejoice that patriotism has been
exalted in such an unselfish life and that posterity
may have the wholesome influence of his illustri-
ous example.
Surely as his eyes closed upon the scenes of
this world the horizon of the eternal morning un-
folded to his expanded vision; his final slumber
must have been but an awakening to immortality
and to the companionship of the mighty spirits of
departed comrades; and amid the changing tints
of gold and purple upon the celestial hills we may
believe his unfettered soul found the welcome of
the Lord, a crown of life and a mansion eternal
in the heavens.

enough In all the states to give the Republicans
a few additional congressmen from that section.
Not only are the Republicans in 1904 likely to
have a larger majority than the 137 which they
won in the electoral college in 1H0, but they will
have a longer lead in congress than they got at
that time They are sure to get more members
of the house from the West than they won four
