It Is encouraging to note that the
democrats of Zapata county hare
won their mandamus suit to net on
the elecllon ticket but really most
of us were under the Impression that
there were no dmocrats In that coun-
ty. There la no speclsl cause to rejoice
over the announcement that Henry
Wittcrson of the Cnurlor-Journal has
made up with the President. Mr. Wit.
son was doing nlrely without Marro
Henry's support.
The question has been askd "Will
the democrats who opposed Fer-
iison'a nomination fote for him for
gorernorr They will and ought to do
so. A partisan who goes Into a polit-
ical primary and nets defeated Is In
honor bound to support the nominee.
Just ss they would have eipected the
other fellows to do If they bed been
detested.
The Austin Stslesman wants to
call a halt on the tendency lo turn
the penitentiary key on offenders
In minor misdeeds. The Statesmsn
ssys It will tend to disgust food
people with the penllentlsry system.
I.esdlng Statesmen sea It the same
wsy and the public would have re-
volted had tha overplsntlnn of cot-
ton been made a penitentiary crime.
Secretary McAdoo says: "I have
a long list of banks which nre hold-
ing eiresslve reserves and I shall nol
hesltsle lo publish It If It becomes
necessary or desirable In the public
Interest. Banks Ihst are hoarding
money are a menaceto business. It
Is only fair to those banks which are
granting legitimate rredltl that the
banks which are not should be eipos-
ed to public view. Many banks have
met and are meeting the situation
in a line and commendable spirit but
their service Is neutralised in a con-
siderable measure by those bsnks
which rsfuse to do tbelr pari."
People who come here from other
psrts of Teias and cotton pickers and
prospectors coming Into West Tesss
are well agreed thst Ihe people here
have very little kick romlng over llv.
Ing conditions. Cotton of course Is
low hpre. the Bams as elsewhere but
our people hnve so enormous crop of
cotton snd more feed stuff good
crass and fat cattle than anybody.
There are more hogs fsltcnlng here
than ever before snd taking 14 all
around the people of Central West
Texas are in position lo live and pros-
per In spile of foreign wer and cheap
cotton We ought to quit mouthing
nlioot hard limes and enjoy what we
have.

JAMES E. KEItlll'SON.
The Signal opposed tho nomination
of J. K. Ferguson for (lovernor but
from noting bla attitude on public
question tho Impression la gaining
that he la going to make Texas

ii not controlled by petty spite. It li
evident that he would nU discharge

came "itch principal hnd criticised
him In paat years.
Ferguson knowi that President
Wilton favored the nomination of
LIT II. yet when tome of hli no tow
minded friends wanted the El Paso
convention to refuse endorsement of
the Wilson administration. Mr. Fer-
ftunon stood out boldly for an expres-
sion of fealty to the administration.
Recently he visited the President In
Washington and here It what he says
of the rttlturie of the ndninistratlon
regarding tho conditions Ir. the na -
tlon:
"I waa extremely gratified to note
the Interest which the president feels
In the threa'cned cotton crlnls In the
South and the necessity which he be-
lieves exists for tcmethlng to bo done
toward meeting It. He realises fully
that it Is not cectknal hut a nation-

It can toward solving the problem.
Without anfagonlilng any of the

be a matter of satisfaction to the;" trusting 10 an tnai can. to come

LIVE. ON FISH THEY CATCH
Remarkable Breed of "Banker Ponies"
Native of the Coast of
North Carolina.
On the coast of North Carolina there
are several miles of low sandy shore
where nothing grows except a coarse
grass a few salt water weeds and wild
parsley. On these banks lives a strange
breed of half-wild horses known a
"banker ponies." These creatures are
generally about twice the size of Shot-
I land ponies. Every year tho herd
owners drive the "bankers" Into pens
brand the foals with the proper mark
I and catch some of the older animals
! to aelt to the dealers.
1 North Carolinians say that the beasts
must be starved Into eating grain bay
or grasa for they have always lived
on the rank salt marsh grass of the
1 marshes and on Ann. They catch the
I fish for themselves at low tide; with
'their hoofs they dig deep holes In the
sand below high-water mark and when
; the tide falls they greedily devour the
j flub that are stranded In these hole.
' Often they fight brisky over an espe-
cially tempting morsel.
In captivity these strange horses are
I Intelligent but seldom sre even in
I temper. Once tamed they make ei-
1 oellent draft animals for they have
a strength that la disproportionate to
tbelr stxe. Foals that are bred from
j "bankers" In captivity make valuable

cat by these saws are so finely fin-
ished that cabinet makers do not
have to plane them at all before tbey

Such saws were originally shown
at an English exposition and were
driven by an electric motor. They
are manufactured from compressed
drawing paper. Indeed compressed
drawing paper of such hardness haa
been made In England that It haa

Experiments In the manufacture of
car wheels from compressed paper
have been made In America for a
number of years but the product haa
never competed seriously with the
ordinary steel wheels. It Is only In
the production of certain articles as
the veneer saw that any advantage
is found.

NEWSPAPERS AND THE BIBLE'
Migirlnt Cites Authorities In Deft net
of Oram mar for Which It
Was Criticised.
When some of our editorial friends
around the country were gunning for
us they spoke scornfully because the
editor of this erudite weekly said "you
are a man who do" Instead of "a man
who does" we came back at them with
quotations from Carlylo. Longfellow
and Macaulay. At some have not been
satisfied with these writers we now
offer them II Chronicles 20:7:
"Art thou not our Ood who didst'
drive out the Inhabitants of this land
before thy people Israel and gavest It
to the seed of Abraham thy friend for
ever?"
Probably most of them will admit
that the King James version of the
Bible is written In fairly good English
Tha Brooklyn Bagl calls our construc-
tion "Damaged Ooods In English." It
observes that the third person Is closer
to the pronoun and hence the Jar to
the ear when the verb comes slong
In the second person. However It
admits that the personal pronoun has
In this Instance for antecedent a choice
or subjects one In the second and one
Id the third person. It seems that we
are free to use our own ear and And
out whether It la Jarred or not. As a
matter of fact It Is not a matter of ear
so much as of visual Imagination that
caused us to choose the form that
raises the Image of the person spoken
to Instead of the Indistinct Image of
a man in general and when it comes
to ear and visual Imagination the
Bible. Carlyle. Macaulay and Ixmg-
fellow can probably stagger along
