THE WAY TO ADVANCE COTTON
PRICE.
Referring to the effort of the
Southern Coflton Glowers aspocia-
Southern Cotton Growers’ association
End the Farmers' Union to devise a
method of artificially increasing the
price of cotton by an elaborate sys-
tem of warehouses for the storage of
the staple and the issuing of nego-
tiable warehouse receipts the Wash-
ington ®pst hits the nail squarely on
the head in arguing against the prac-
ticability of any such plan. The Pos
says:
The republic of Brazil tried it
in the commodity of coffee a
vastly less perishable article ot
commerce thanrcotton and a pro-
duct the value of which is ma-
terially advanced by age. The
result was that Brazil in about
five years lost $16000000. flor
the planter increased his crop
as long as prices held and the
government impounded his sur-
plus.
The way to maintain prices in
the cotton market is to adopt a
new system of farming in the
gulf states. Let the planter seed
vast areas to alfalfa and devote
more fields to corn—raise less
cotton and more beef and pork
butter and cheese poultry and
eggs fruits and nuts. Let cot-
ton he the surplus crop and it
intelligent rotation and' the in-
tensive methods of fanning be
employed and adhered to mil-
lions of acres now waste lands
will be restored to their pristine
fertility''and the average yield
of eotton per acre with the same
labor now employed to produce
it will be increased more than
I0(> per cent.
In all the world there is no
place that so invites the intelli-
gent thrifty) and honest husband-
man with a little money as our
cotton country. Those thousands
of fanners of the northwest who
sell their lands for more than
$lOO an acre and move into the
dominion of panada would far
better go south and invest in
cheap lands and employ In their
cultivation the same systems of
farming live stock feeding poul-
tis raising and fruit growing
they have so long practiced. It
is a climate unsurpassed for ag-
riculture and the soil was made
for the huebandman.
This is sound common sense and
the farmers of the south will do well
to follow it. Cut down the acreage
diversify is the only safe

These are the labor leaders who
didn’t jump the reservation under the
leadership of Chief Gompers during
the last campaign and this dinner is
just one of the Roosevejtan ways of
letting us know that the redoubtable
Samuel is persona non grata around
the White House. Sam says he doesn't
care and that he enjoys being a mar-
tyr to principle and the sacred rights
of the working man. but it’s dollars
to doughnuts that Tuesday night he
couldn't help thinking about what a
nice time those good little boys were
having at the White House.
A Kentucky tobacco grower has
mined his farm as protection against
night riders. This idea generally
adopted in conjunction with Governor
Patterson’s prompt action in sending
soldiers into the terror stricken dis-
trict ought to help some.
We would mildly suggest to Prose-
cutor Heney of San Francisco the
next time he has occasion to delve
into the life of an ex-convict who ap-
parently has done nothing to earn the
wrath of the law a second time that
he take the ex-one to one side and
tell him what he has learned and not
wait to expose him before a full
court room. The hazard is too great
for satisfaction so small. Then again
the ex-convict may feel so ashamed
of the publicity that he may kill him-
self and render a home fatherless.
The Light knows nothing of the
merits of the case but it is apparent
the results .are sufficiently terrible.
A HOUSE DIVIDED.
(Washington Post.)
The vote of Missouri shows the de-
plorable if not hopeless condition
the democratic party finds itself in.
The knightly Frank Blair died in July
1875 but his work was finished; he
had brought public opinion in his
adopted state back to the democratic
party and so it remained without
break until the congressional election
of 1894 that Ingulfed Richard Bland
and Champ Clark in the vortex of de-
feat. Even in 1872—Greeley year—
Missouri went democratic and in the
next succeeding seven presidential
years Missouri was democratic.
But in 1904 Parker lost Missouri
to Roosevelt and four ?ears later
Bryan lost it to Taft. There is a re-
publican United States senator from
"the Imperial state” that for some
time has been doubtful with republi-
can leanings. The influx of immi-
grants from northern republican
states partly accounts for the change;
but it is mainly dug to the fact that
thousands of Cleveland democrats
will not support the Bryan policies
and thousands of Bryan democrats
will not support the Cleveland poli-
cies. A house divided against Itself
cannot stand. To employ the figure of
Abraham Lincoln the' democratic
party must become all Bryan or all
Cleveland to win another national vic-
tory congressional or presidential.
Locally Ohio Indiana Minysota

It weakens the delicate lun« tissues
deranges the digestive orgahs and
breaks down the general health.
It often causes headache and dizzi-

hearing and affects the voice.
Being a constitutional disease it re-
quires a constitutional remedy.

21 Years Ago
(From The Light November 20 1887.)
The switchmen at the Sunset rail-
road yards went on a strike this morn-
ing. They demand the same pay as is
paid in Kansas City and Chicago.
A delightful dance was given last
Saturday night by the Polish Young
Men’s union at St. Albert’s hall. .
The commissioners’ court held a
meeting this morning road matters
occupying their attention. A number
of accounts were approved.
Joe Gorman of Del Rio is in the
city on a visit to friends.
Ramon Guerra a wealthy horse
raiser of Mier Mexico is in the city
with 150 horses for the market.
H. S. Tracey the well known hay
farmer of Eagle Pass is in the city
on business and is stopping at the
Southern.
Dean Richardson who has been in
Galveston has returned to the city.
The Liquor Dealers’ association
met Saturday night for the purpose
of discussing the opening and closing
of saloons in this city on Sundays. It
was decided that each member should
use his own discretion and the con-
census of opinion was that the con-
stitutional rights of the saloon men
were being infringed on. It is ex-
pected that many of the saloons will
remain open Sunday.
Sheriff A. Bodemann and T. P.
Saner of Boerne are In the Citv ou
business and are stopping at the St.
Leonard. *
The city physician will begin public
vaccination next week and the public
should avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to be vaccinated.
The Passing Throng
WALK AND CURE ILLS.
( ( 0R half of the petty ills tliat
M human flesh is heir to and
• for almost all of our spells of
temper sulkiness or the blues the
best prescription that could be given
is ’Take a walk’ ” declares a phys-
ician who is a firm believer in the
virtues of walking for working oft ill
feeling of brain or body.
"I hate to see the great tendency of
the people towards desiring to ride
everywhere and to walk none. The
bicycle was the first encroachment on
walking and now the automobile bids
fair to do away with it altogether ex-
cept for an occasional stroll about the
streets or somewhere for a short dis-
tance on business bent.-
“The man who is troubled or de-
pressed in spirits has no means at his
command by which he can so easily
soothe his mind and calm his trou-
bled feelings as a walk alone beneath
the blue sky. The most pessimistic
mind finds itself thinking of better
things than is its wont in the course
of a stroll among trees or beside flow
ered fields. There are actually in-
stances in which fits of maniacal
madness have been worked off by a
walk of a few hours.
“The headache rarely fails to suc-
cumb to walking and for a fit of nerv-
ciysness or despondency it is almost
always a sure cure. For quasi-nervons
complaints such as indigestion it has
no equal and even the pains of tooth-
ache are often unconsciously forgot-
ten when during the course of a walk
the mind finds something to occupy
itself besides its own ills.”
IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
From Coughs Colds Sore Throats
and Hoarseness by Using
Hyomei.
When you catch cold you want to
get rid of it as quickly as you can.
You don’t want to lie around the
house for a week swallowing nau-
seating drugs. Yon know wnen you
do this that you are not only making
your own life miserable but are a
nuisance to everyone about you.
Why not avoid all this; why not re-
lieve your cold In five minutes; why
not cure it over night? You can do it
by using Hyomei the sure and guar-
anteed cure for Colds Coughs Sore
Throat Catarrh Bronchitis and Asth-
ma.
Hyomei is medicated and antisep-
tic air; you breathe it into the lungs
through a small pocket inhaler and
its soothing influences as it passes
over the inflamed membrane of the
respiratory tract stops the mucous
discharge allays the inflammation
and the cold is cured A complete
Hyomei outfit costs $l.OO and the
Bexar -Drug Co. will refund your
money if it fails to cure.

Upside down in center of globe.
THE TEXAS ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION
This association is organized for the
purpose of disseminating knowledge
especially among the non-professional
public concerning the .causes treat-
ment and prevention of tuberculosis
in our state; and for the purpose of
bringing about the enforcement of all
existing laws tending to prevent the
spread of the disease and of secur-
ing the enactment of adequate laws
for this psirpote; and for the purpose
of aiding any movement to establish
a sanatorium for incipient or advanced
cases of tuberculosis and for the pur-
pose of co-operating with and making
a connecting link between the local
anti-tuberculosis societies and the na-
tional and international organizations.
To promote the organization of coun-
ty and city societies and to acquaint
the every day’ citizen with the- fact
that tuberculosis is a communicable
preventable and curable disease a
travelling exhibit has been procured
and is making a tour of the state.
The exhibit is in charge of an able
demonstrator who gives lectures illus-
trated by stereopticon views and re-
inforced by photograph lectures. The.
'public is supplied with circulars and
pamphlets giving the essetial facts
about tuberculosis.
The Extent of the Dieease.
Throughout the civilized world two
persons die of consumption every min-
ute 150000 dying in the United States
annually.
With statistics at hand it is estimat-
ed that 483 per month 5800 per annum
or 12 per cent of the deaths that oc-
cur in Texas are due to consump-
tion.
Tuberculosis causes more deaths in
the state of Texas than all other com-
municable combined.
Valuing a human life at the.low fig-
ure of $5OOO this disease costs the
state of Texas $29000000 annually—-
equaling the Standard Oil fine '
The Nature of the Disease.
Tuberculosis is an infectious dis-
ease.
One InhA-its a fertile soil—a pre-
disposition but not the disease.
The germ may live outside the hu-
man body in a warm moist dark place
for a long time.
Under favorable circumstances the
germ grows and multiplies ’ rapidly
causing thereby the Illness and final-
ly the death of the man or animal in
which it grows.
Placed jmder certain conditions
where it can no longer grow the germ
becomes like a grain of wheat simply
a seed capable of waiting indefinitely
until conditions arise for it to take
on fresh growth.
How Tuberculosis is
The great medium for the spread of
the disease is the consumptives spit
or cough. Tn the form of dust the
germ is breathed into the lungs.
A house in which the consumptive
has lived is dangerous .unless thor-
oughly disinfected renovated and
cleaned.
Tn the cracks and crevices of the
floors .'walls and furniture in the
hanging curtains and in the bedding
the germ protected from sunlight can
live for-years.
Excessive work insufficient or indi-
gestible food or the steady drinking
nf alcoholic liquors lowers the vitality
and renders one more susceptible to
the disease.
Through the milk or the meat of
diseased animals tuberculosis is also
transmissible to man.
The Prevention of Tuberculosis.
An infectious diseases is always a
preventable disease.
The cardinal principles to be ob
served in the sick room are cleanli-
ness. sunlight fresh air. and care of
the epurtum. (disinfection.)
Never spit except into a receptacle
which can be burned or boiled or Inta
a spittoon which contains a disinfect-
ant solution ’
Floors should be bare covered with
linoleum wits wash cotton rugs or
light rugs that can be expose 1 ’
quently to sunlight. v / b
Sun all bedding. uphoTste /
non washable material
all linen and washable material: use
wet. sawdust in sweeping cloths
’n dusting and scour the Doors week-
ly. {
The apartments shouldrne disinfect-
ed every 30 to 90 days drlth formalde-
hyde gas which purif« the room as
sunlight does the bed/lng.
Flies mosquitoes O' other insects
should not be allowed in the house as
they carry the germs of the disease.
Cities shouU provide prdinanceg tor
notification "d registration of cases:
for disinfection on removal or de|th;
for the prevention of
spitting and for the cleaning of streets
by Lushing.
The Cure of Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is curable in a ma-
jority of cases if taken in time.
To nail one's bedroom- window shut
is to drive a nail into one’s coffin.
Building up the general health in-
creases resistance to the disease:
more than in any other disease the
outcome of a case is in the hands of
the patient.
Medical experience has demonstrat-
ed that we can overcome adverse
chances of nature and circumstances
if we correct our personal errors of
hygiene.
The cure is fresh air and sunshine
rest and an abundance of plain nour-
ishing food.
Change in climate is not essential
and the aimless drifting of the aver-
age consumptive should be discourag-
ed.
Frequent disinfection with formal-
dehyde prevents one's being reinocU-
lated with their own disease.
Upon application of the state asso*
elation publications on information
about consumption and about sleeping
porches and facilities for outdoor
sleeping can be obtained.

No Race of Men Incapable
Of Intellectual Development.
By JEAN FINOT.
HLL the condemnations of peoples and races in virtue of an
innate superiority or inferiority bate in reality failed. Ufa
has taught us to be more circumspect in our judgments. A’
savant who presumes to pronounce A VERDICT OE
ETERNAL BARBARISM AGAINST ANY PEOPLE deserves
to be laughed at.
Let us remember that in the time of the encyclopedists savants
refused to the Russians the possibility of becoming civilized in the
European manner. The following century was destined to give them
the lie for it gave to this people consigned to barbarity thinkers and
writers who are accounted AMONG THE GUIDING SPIRITS
OF HUMANITY. If the Russian nation shall arrive some dav at
enjoying that liberty whereby it may develop unimpeded its moral
and intellectual faculties the cause of progress shall have counted a
hundred million workers more.
FOR AGES THE NEGRO RACES HAVE BEEN OFFERED AS
PROOF POSITIVE THAT SOME NATIONS ARE HOPELESSLY SEPA-
RATED FROM OTHERS IN POINT OF CULTURE AND CAPACITY.
BUT ANY 6NE THAT HAS STUDIED THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN
THE SOUTHERN! STATES REALIZES THAT THEY ARE SUSCEPTI-
BLE OF RAPIDLY ABSORBING THE CIVILIZATION NOW SUR-
ROUNDING THEM. '
A few brief years ago negroes were not considered capable ofi
carrying on business transactions or holding property. Today THOU-
SANDS OF NEGRO PROPRIETORS are conducting plantations
of various sorts and own thousands of acres of land worth
of dollars. In brief it is only as the equality of men is* recognized
and their essential unity believed tbat progress can be accounted for.
