The Texas Central and Katy have put on a through
chair car service from Rotan in Fisher county to San
Antonio. Thus central west Texas and Southwest Texas
are being brought in closer touch. It will not be long
before this entire section is a net work of railroads.

for the Senate. He is a man of much ability his record is
clean and beyond suspicion. He will make a good race
and will be close to the lead when the election is over

GAP BETWEEN PRODUCES AND CONSUMER.
Tho nvorago reBldont of tho city knows In n general
way that tho price ho gives for nny specific farm product
is sovoral timos that rocoived by tho man who raised it
but doflnlto comparisons arc not always available For
that renBon a story told rocontly in The SpringfioH
(MasB.) Republican is illuminating. It rolates to a visit
mndo by roproaontntivos of sovoral organizations of farm-
ers supplying Now York city to Mnyor Qaynor and va-
rious facts rovcalod as a result of their conforonco.
Hero is ono as cited by Tho Republican which will bo
of eoual Interest both to tho mnn who pays tho bills in
tho city and tho mnn who ratees products from the
soil:
Potntocs for example for which consumers
paid $60000000 Inst year brought the farmers
only about $8500000. Cabbages sold in New
York city brought tho farmers $1800000 and cost
the consumers $9625000. And so of other pro-
duce. Faulty or deficient distribution Is regarded by th
student of eronomics as ono of the prime causes of the
high cost of living and the foregoing instance appears
to bear out the argument. Legitimate charges for trans-
portation and horo and there for commissions must be
deducted. But even when this is done there Is left n
wide margin unaccounted for.
To a great derco the activities of th middleman oiti
tho explanation. Could producer sell direct to consumer
an enormous saving would be effected in which both
sides would profit about equally Between them they
contribute large sums much larger fn many instances
than the original value of the product for the upkeep of
I intermediate agencies.
! It is impossible of course to hope that in our present
I stage of evolution the middleman can be altogether elim
inated. That is an aspiration which must be left unful-
filled until the machinery of barter and trade it more
smooth-running and efficient. But it should be within the
bounds of possibility to regulate the charges of the mid-
dleman as the government has done with some suctoss
! with the railroads and rather Indifferent success with
the trusts. Atlanta Constitution.

Italy and Turkey are trying to pull off a scrap. We
are like the minister who said that he tried to live in
peace with all men but that if he ever met a certain
individual he was sure to whip him. We are for peace
but if Turkey can be cleaned up and even put off the
map as a nation we are willing. The sameful disgrace
ful massacres that Turkey has been guilty of are
- enough to cause Almighty God to wipe her from the face
of the earth.

The program of the annual convention of the Commer-
cial Secretaries and Business Men's Association which
will be held 'in Dallas on Thursday October 5th wil
bring out many features of Texas' development of inter-

Convention will be felt in Texas throughout the comin'-
year. The report of the committee on Resolutions

Something must be wrong down In Egypt The banv
of Egypt haB suspended. Wonder if the poor cotton far-
mer in this country will suffer for it. Things have about
reached the point where he suffers for everything. That
thing known as the cotton exchange up In New York
is a mighty sensitive piece of machinery. The Reporter
hopes to see the day when the cotton of our country is
sold in a way that every whim of Wall street will not
cause a panic in the market. The man who produces a
bale of cotton is entitled to at least 15 cents a pound
and if the crop could be properly marketed he would

To work together and stimulate every legitimate en-
terprise that contributes to a town's growth and uplift

First give loyal support to the enterprises you have
on the ground. By your patronage and encouragement
make a success of these and it will be little trouble to
secure others. Many communities have committed the
error of allowing their enthusiasm to reach a fever heat
in inducing an enterprise to come within its bounds
and dismiss it from further consideration after landing it.
An institution made to prosper every day in the year
through the determined support of the people is worth a
dozen which are permitted to merely exist for an inde-
finite length of time and then go to the wall.

We are reaping what we have sown. For years sensa-
tional writers have been filling the columns of the cheap
newspapers and the dear magazines with tho bitterest
and in most instances unjustifiable attacks on men of
wealth and on the corporations which their skill ag-
gressiveness and capital have created. Demagogues have
gone up and down the alnd preaching the gospel of dis-
content making happy people unhappy and satisfied
workman discontented and thus undormining tho Tory
foundations of our national success. Some reader may
say that the people would not have believed tho sensa-
tional writers unless they told tho truth. Is this so? Are
the people always thoughtful considerate and temporate?
A Beared hoy at a picture show at CanonBbnrg Pa. shout-
ed "Fire!" the other day and twenty-six persons wore
killed in tho mad niBh to escape. Half of tho dead were
little children. Twonty-flvo others wore sorioitBly injured

had been trampled on by the crazy crowd yet there was
A butcher at Long Beach this week plead guilty to a
charge of using preservatives on meat in his shop.
Embalming it placing his customers at the mercy of a
deadly poison. He was fined fifty dollars. Verily the
laws of California for its dispensers value human life
cheaply. The bakers and butchers hold our lives in their
hands and when one shows himself regardless of them
he should be made to suffer a penalty commensurate
with his crime. Azusa (Cal.) Pomotropic.

No man ought to want a dollar Joe hasn't jearnea. He
ought to be willing to work for what he gets. Jfo are all
laborers after all. Some work with their Bands some
with hands and brain some with brains and some Just
work the neonle. It is thiB latter class that are an?
abomination to all good citizens and in the sight of tho
Lord as well and ought to be go rid of. Denison
Herald.
If dollars grew on trees and under each tree was a
stepladder with an invitation "climb and help yourself"
tfiere would still bo those who would endeavor to elim-
inate tho necessity of climbing to get tho coins. It seems
the highest ambition of some people to get a dollar
easier than thoso who earn it by honest toil. It is use-
less to hope that tho World will ever cease to be abomi-
nated with this class of people.
