THURSDAY JUNE 20 1907.
HEREFORD'S SIZE. .
.
Brother Ray of tho Hereforl
Brand thus exults over the slzo of
Hereford as compared with lis
neighbors Amarlllo Included In tho
In lit Issue of his excellent paper the
Brand:
"The Brand has contended for
some time that Hereford Is the bast
Panhandle town and now we are re-
ported to the outside world as the
largest town. In the 1907 American
Law Directory a list of all towns of
any consequence Is given. In thn
Amarlllo Is ehown to have 1600 pop-
ulation Hereford 3.000 and Canyon
City 200. The Canyon City . News
and Dally Panhandle will pleaoe take
note of the advance position which
we are occupying with respect to
population."
We will let Canyon City and oth-
er aspiring cities sit up and take note
of their position as compared with
Hereford at their leisure we only
have to answer for Amarlllo. We
re glad to see that our enterpris-
ing sister city Is accredited with 8.-
000 and It she Is satisfied with that
we have no kick coming.
As for Amarlllo she can stand
the rating given her by any publl-
catloa which has no more regard for
the truth than the American Law
Directory. If editor Ray baa quoted
the publication correctly and we
have no reason to doubt but that he
has. We do not know where the
'American Law Directory la publish
ed. Ibut suppose It Is at St. Louis
Chicago or St. Paul. It Is to be sup-
posed that the book Is edited In the
office of publication and compiled
there by the accuracy of Ita reports
Amarlllo now has at least 12000
Inhabitants. Every house In the city
la packed full little five and six-room
houses having from five to nine per
ons to the house. Take the num-
ber of houses In the city and com-
pare with any of the cities in older
sections where there are but from
three to five to the house and It Is
easy to figure that Amarlllo baa 12
000 Inhabitants nt least. ; I
Dallas parties got up a directory
of the city last December which
gave the population nt 8.600 at that
time.
No Brother Ray we don't have to
look to any law directory for our
copulation. We've got 'em and
there are at least 12000 and If you
don't believe It come up and take a
census.
THE SMALL FARMS PAY.
The Dally panhandle la a bcllover
In the small farm as a money mak-
er. Eighty acres well tended and
thoroughly farmed la worth two
sections but sparsley tended. On
the small farm the farmer utilizes
every foot of his ground he has it In
the highest state of cultivation and
consequently realizes much better re-
turns form his Investment and lob-
ors. The man who has a farm too
large to get all over U farms It poor-
ly. 1 The panhandle has heard of mer-
chants in this city telling prospec-
tive farmers that it would
take 160 acres of land in this coun-
try to make a living for a farmer.
The man waking this statement is
either Ignorant of the conditions of
the farm land In this country or if
he were correct ia the statement

The following article on the re-
sults obtained from Rood farming of
a small farm Is from the U. 8. Farm
Advertiser and Is most pertinent
and applies as well In the panhandle
as It will In any other portion of the
United States where the land Is
worth farming at all:
"Hamc-ona has suld that the man
who has one row two doxen chickens
and enough land to support them Is
nft a poor man. It Is aurprlnlng the
returns which can be received from a
farm large enough to support onernw
and a few dozen chickens. A small
farm not long ago sold over $600
worth of products from one cow and
four dozen chickens In a year. This
man owns four acres of land near St.
Louis. Milk sells for 10 cents per
quart In the section of the city near
which he resides snd from the one
cow he sold In a year $210 worth of
milk; for a fat calf he received $11;
eggs. $185; broilers $U0frult$19;
Total $607. He figures that $100
will cover tho cost of all the feed
given the cow and chickens during
the year.
Four or five acres of ground near
a good marlet. two or three good
cows and several dozen of chickens
will yield as large an Income as some
farms of eighty to one hundred and
twenty acres." . .

I staid In. Austin ' all ' winter and
foueht it but Amarlllo with her "In
fluential" men was too much for me.
If we had money to fight it In the
courta we could probably still keep
It. Amarlllo gave bond to Indem
nify all who own land within three
miles of the road. If It la not a
bogus bond maybe you can get some-
thing out of It. How much Is your
damage on two sections! It has not
rained since Christmas and every
thing has stopped. Oats have not
come up and the wheat Is already
ruined. We are hitting all the hard
places at once. Yours truly

GONE TO THE WALL.
At last the old Chicago Chronlcla
baa suspended and is no more.
There are probably few mourners.
The Chronicle had an opportunity to
be one of the leading papers of Chi
cago when It was established but
It did not take advantage of Its op
portunlty and while It has struggled
along as a wolf In sheep's clothing
for years it has finally been com
Delled to suspend probably after
losing hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. If not millions for Us backers.
When the Chicago Htrald was es-
tablished by Mr. Scott It was made
an Independent democratic newspa
per and was at the time an Innova-
tion In daily Journalism In Its clem
make-UD. news and print and was
one of the model newspapers of the
West. Just 'before the campalju
where McKlnley was nominated and
elected H. H. Kohlsaat. who had
been on the Inter-Ocean a Repubii
can. and the man who put up $10.
non to nay Mr. McKlnley's debts
bought the Herald at a big price and
turned It into a Republican paper

Seymour a bright newspaper man
from the old Herald at the edltorl ;l

per and for a time gave It a good
support but In 1895 and 1694 thoy
found It to be a Republican papor la

over. For several years It was the

finally succumbed as there was u?
longer a flold for It and no finan-
cial schemes behind It to stand tne
louses and It. has gone where It bu-
Ioiiks Into tho journalistic graveyard.
Kohlsaat's success was not phc-
nominal with the Tlmes-Htrald an I
he finally consolidated it with the
Record and later was frozen out by
the former owner of the Record
and the Record-Herald today fills
Its place In Chicago as an Idopend-
ent Republican paper and Kohlsaat
who deprived the Democrats of a
dally in Chicago In the fact of a
Democratic campaign and John R.
Walsh who attempted to lead Dem
ocrats off after false gods by a pa-
per which was a wolf In sheep'

Mammon by. ;
Such is the history of the Chica
go Chronicle passed a way.
Jl'DOE GAYNOR O.V TAINTED
MONEY.
1 n
The following very Interesting ar-
tlclo by Judge Gaynor on so-called
tainted money la from Bryan's Com
moner: ... .
Judge W. J. Gaynor of the appel-
late dlvlolon of Tne supreme court of
New York addressed the .Knjf and
Fork club of . Kansas Cltjr MaiV??-
Judge Oaynor spoke on freight rate
abuses. Tho Associated Press gives
extracts from Judge'-- Oaynor's
speech as follows: "'
"There Is no prejudice It? "this
country against honeatlfy acquired
wealth however large. lt"la wealth
acquired nf amouslhtrth Wander
the ban of the splendid rlWWtgeWee
and integrity 'of tho 'pWp'fe M this
country. The prime 'objer 'of'gov-
ernment Is to promote ' distibiitive
Justice to all. Without thla object
being fulfilled there can be no true
prosperity. Prosperity Is the high-
est production which a community is
capable of consistent with the phy-
sical and mental welfare of Ita mem-
bers accompanied by a Just distri
bution of the total product -anioni
the nroducers. This does not mean
share and share alike but awprdlng
to the productive capacity .physical
or mental or both. of. each. If a
few are getting each yenr'Cpn8tntlv'
by hook or by crook the tola) pro-
duct of all whofwork then (hecon-
dltlon Is not one of proVperjty."'
"If certain Individuals! a' short
lifetime become possessed of so much
property that they can make abnor-
mal gifts to charity; If one man can
elve away for Instance the vast sum
of $32000000 In one gilt without
feeling It any more than yea would
miss 15. we make a fatal mistake
if we ascribe such a condition to
prosperity. If we find the railroads
being used to allow a few to acquire
such fortunes at the expense of their
fellowmen by having their freight
carried at a rate lower than others
have to pay so that they are able to
create monopolies In themselves our
condition Is not one of prosperity
but It Is dangerous to the perpetuity
of our free government.
"From the beginning of. the world
the public highways always had been
built by the government. In the
same way the government could have
our Iron highways the railroads.
And even though privately built the
railroads of the country are still pub
lie highways. "...
"This is the decision of all the
courts in the' land. The corpora
tlons nor the' individuals -who con
trol them can not do wKh them as
they will. They are mere trustees
or agencies of- the government to
run them as public highways for the
benefit of all end wlthbut any fa
voritism or discrimination? to anyone.
Every free pass issued" oevet tavor
In freight rates granted'! in detu
ance of the law. ; Some people' are
under the delusion thatNtfeeent stat-
utes 'made these" things"' 'urilfl.
Not at ill; they " wefe"mlawMi' at
the beginning. We only v needed
statutes to make It a crlnWat 6ffense
to grant thornand to jail Vho who
should grant them. That these pub
lic highways should be used to enable
s few men to destroy thHr business
rivals Is the babest crime of our djy
and generation.
"If I give an illustration It Is not
for holding any one man up for re-
proach above others. In 1870 I went
through the oil regions of Pennsyl-
vania and saw a wilderness of der-
ricks spread out over the country
over engines pumping oil from wells.
Hundreds of people owned such wells
apd were producing oil. Five years
later all these wells had paired Into
the control of one man. or set of
men. All the other producers had
failed and Joined those unfortunates
who fall by the wayside In the strug-
gle for existence. And why and
how? Became this ope man and
his few companions went to the few
powerful Individuals wfco controlled
the railroads and conspired with
them to carry their oil to market
for say $1 a 'barrel wllle everyone
else was charged $2 and more a bar-
rel. Of courso this favoritism In
freight rates enabled thrm to under-
sell by that much ant destroy all
their rivals. '
"Just think of' debits being got
up even by ministers of the gospel
whether money thusj acquired Is
tainted! This same thing has been
done In all our principal products.
And let no one be under the delusion
that It IS to cense. You can't stop
an 'evil by merely pulsing a law
against It. Every weel. even now
reveals a new .case of Jhls rallroud
favoritism and discrimination. Some
have come to the concrullon that the
government should takejhe railroads
and run then in ord to end the
abuse. For ray part J. would not
see the government do It. Private
enterprise Is too valuabli to be elim
inated from railroad boildlng and
management If It can beavolded.
"My own view Is thiit it Is only
necessary for the government to ap-
point the general freight agent of
every railroad for he coild stop all
rate favoritism at once.r It would
not be for his office to fli the sched-
ule of rates but only to see that ev
eryone paid the schedule rate no
more no lers. The actual payments
of rebates back to shippers Is how
seldom done but favoritism Is done
in many ways.' One way ll to give
favoritism In freight rates by billing
goods at one-half their weight. A-
other way is' by means of the private
switches or tracks which connect
many business places with the rail-
roads. One of these little railroads
a quarter of a mile long may .get
25 or even 50 per cent of the freight
money'Itharged 'by! :-ratlroadfult
connects -end whlrh . carries the
freight hundreds of thousands of
miles. Private fright cars leased
to the exallroad at exorbitant rates
are another jnanB'and still another
is the giving of large commissions to
a go-between for getting. the freleht.
"This favoritism in ferlght rates Is
also used to defeat the national tar
Iff by giving foreign goods a freight
rate low enough to enable them to
come In and be sold at a profit In
spite of the protective tariff. Goods
are carried from England and uer
many to Denver for example for a
less rate than the same domestic
goods have to pay from' Chicago to
Denver. This is also a wrong to the
railroad stockholders. There are
roads now paying three or four per
cent dividends whjch would be pay
lng nearer ten per cent if the favor
Itlsm in freight rates was stopped.
"No wonder a growing number of
people want the government to take
the railroads."
It Is not too late for the farmer
to plant corn in this locality. We
have seen good corn raised In Iowa
planted the!15th of June when the
season was extremely 1 late. But In
Iowa the growing season Is much
shortor than in this country There
a killing frost is expected by the
15th of Sept. . In this eountry it
comes much later and even October
is a good growing month for corn.
Plant plenty of kaftlr corn' maize
and millet even in July. and corn
planted now will do well with rea-
sonable moisture from now on.
Canyon City's excellent ball team
Is holding up t'ne honor 'of the Pan-
handle among the northern teams In
a creditable manner. It has won
every game taken part In since leav-
ing for the North' defeating the Ft.
MadiBon Iowa.'team Sunday. Ama-
rlllo's team i doing good work In
the" Panhandle also defeating Ros-
well in every game. It. goes to Ar-
tesia this week f jr a few games.
A few drops. of rata fell during
the noon hour enough to cool the
atmosphere but not enough to lay
the dust or do vegetation any good.
It "was simply an aggravation. We
will continue to hope twit a gooa
sized cloud may burst over Amarlllo
soon and give us the molnture we
so much nsed.
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A 8PIUNK-LERT
The Dally Panhandle would like
to have some one In authority answer
the question "Why Amarljlo can't
have a sprinkler run on the business
streets at least?"
Is It the shortage of water of tho
waterworks company which holds
back the atreet sprinkler or Is It the
failure of some energetic man with
a team to realize the rash that there
would be In It for him to sprinkle the
streets of the city?
The Panhandle does not think
there is a firm on the business streets
who would refuse to pay $2 per
month for the sprnlkllng of the
streets.
Yesterday's duut was something
awful and a disgrace to a city the
size of Amarlllo and would only be
tolerated in a little back number
town. Amarlllo should arise to the
Important position she occupies as a
city and should see to It that the
streets are kept In proper condition
for business and comfortable living.
There Is a responsibility resting
on the city council and on the Com
mercial club to see that this Is done.
Will they arise to the occasion? The
Panhandlp has heard citizens threat
en today to take a trip away from
the city to vold the dust. Must
this be done or will tho city council
and Commercial club see that the
city Is fit to live In during this hot
dry dusty weather?
If It Is all the fault of the water
works company let them have the
benefit by letting the public know
where the fault rests. The water
works company has enough to be re
sponsible for but have been serving
a sufficient quantity of water re-
cently for every other purpose. The
Panhandle does not want to accuse
the wster company of being respon
sible for the failure to have the
streets sprinkled unless it Is the
company's fault.
Will someone please arise and ex
plain why we oan't have the streets
sprinkled? -..
ARTESIA'S ALFLAFA FESTIVAL.
The Dally Panhandle has received
the Droaram of the Alfalfa Festival
to be held by Artesia N. M. June
21 and 22 for which excursion rates
are to he given on all railroads.
The prelude of the program Is as
foUows: h '
"You are invited to attend the Al
falfa Festival to be held in Artesia
New Mexico In the center of' the
great artesian belt in the midst of
the renowned Pecos Valley.
"Visit a modern city of 2000 in-
habitants that has grown up 4n less
than four years; that has the finest
alfalfa fields on earth irrigated by
the biggest artesian wells In the
world; that has shipped out carleads
of this year's crop of pea green al-
falfa during the month of May and
that has a climate that enabled somt
ot Its farmers to begin cutting a sec-
ond crop as early as May 27."
A most Interesting program Is pre-
pared for the entertainment of vis-
itors. The principal railroads of the
West where the states have passed

WHAT ABOUT CITY WATER?
Again the city water proposition
Is one urgently needing the atten-
tion of the city council men who
have been' elected to look after the
city business for the people of Ama
rlllo. ' : 1
Some time ago. there was trouble
with the city water the company not
being able to furnish a sufficient
sunuly for the needs of housekeepers
and business places. ' The company
nut down another well and with the
tncreased number of wells and addi
tional facilities ao reported were go-
tag to be able to care for the needs
o the public until It perfected a new
DDDOsed system which was to be
able to furnish plenty of water for
allseeds public and private.
Bit what of the result? For a
time'jthe company has furnished suf
ficient water for the needs of house
keepers and for fire protection but
In ever; other way they have failed
to glveuhe city a good and suffi
cient voume of water. The street

The following from the Miami
Chief shows that the wheat Is going
to be a partial crop Instead of all
loss iaa has been reported from some
quartera: "Nearly all of the farmers

and especially wheat. It was
thought the cold unseasonable wcath
er In the spring experienced all over
the continent gave the wheat crop
In this section such a set back it
would not got high enough to cut.
But It can all but cut with a binder
but many will use headers. While
some crops are estimated as low s
twelve bushels most fields are estl-
mated between fifteen and twenty
bushels. The grain Is also said to be
unsusually plump and fat. Best
promise for a wheat crop of any sec-
tion we know of."

To her 'way off .
In slumberland:
For with a start v
She's wide awake
And arms outstretched
Says "Papa take!"
And do I take? . :
I think I do!
And snuggle her
Up to me too!
And kiss her bro
And cheek and chin.
And with my kisses

Her nearest ear
And kiss her till
Goes wild and cocs
And wiggles so
Sometimes I nearly
Let her go; ; v
And then perched on
My shoulder high
She wiggles and
Says "Papa by!-
And so we tiptoe
Down the stairs
And catoh her

And she gets snuggled
To the breast
Of mamma dear
And washed and dressea
And mounts her high
Chair with delight.
