The Tribune has always and
will continue to advocate local
enterprises for Bartlett. It seems
a bit strange that men who have
capital and pretend to be anxious
to invest it, sit idly by when the
town is sadly in need of many
small enterprises whioh would
pay a handsome dividend and be
a success from the start. The
town needs a light plant, a laun-
dry, a creamery and other small
factories. Lot those who have

One of our physicians told us
recently of an elegant reception
he had mei with one of his calls
I was one of the most disagree-
able Aights, and after a ride
aboufck miles in the country,
he wr met by the following:
"Well, dootor I sent for two
other Actors before I sent for
you. but they didn't come, a
am glad you got here, and
time if I can't get one of those
other doctors I will send for you
again." Yea, verily, there are
others besides the newspaper
man who have troubles of their
own. Moody Courier.
The Rusk Industrial Press says
the man who contends that a
movement to price the products
on the farm is a farmers' trust,
is either a fool or a knave. The
products are priood somewhere
and by somebody. Is it any less
a trua't tfor buyers, speculators,
to combine and price ttiem than
for the producers, the iwners, to
prioe them, even though they
must combine or co-operate to do
so? When wagon makers put a
price on wagons is that a trust?
They do it. When toothpick
makers put a prioe on toothpicks
is that a trust? They do it.
Everybody puts a price on what
he makes or produoes but the
farmer. That poor cuss must let
supply and demand prioe his
things, and the "supply and de-
mand" that does the pricing is
the most godless set of knaves
that ever lied honest men out of
their sweat and labor. Let the
fellows that say farmers should
not prioe their stuff put that in
their pipes and smoke it.
Mr. Julius Rungo of the Gal-
veston Cotbn Exchange esti-
mates tho average cost of pro-
ducing cotton to be 7 cents per
pound, and bases his estimate
upon the conditions that prevail
when cotton is above or below
that prioe. When cotton sells for
more than 7 cents per pound, ac-
counts are promptly paid, new
wagons, harness, implements,
furniture, paint-and fencing ma-
teria) are sold and farmers' - de
posits are largely in evidence nt
local banks, When cotton sells
for less than 7 oents per pound,
accounts are not paid and a gen-
eral business depression prevails.
Tho reaeoning of Mr. Runge is
lgioal, and his estimate of 'cost
being based on twenty-five years
experience, comes as near being
correct as is possible to arrive at.
It is true that some farmers pro-
duce cotton for leee, and it1'!,
unfortunately, equally true that
it costs some, farmers more.-

The trial of Distriot Att6rney
Warren W Moore, whioh is now
in progress at Austin has many
features (of intense interest,
among tylem is the soenfingly
establishbd fact that a package
of crisp, bright Lnitod States
gold certificates was passed forth,
baok, and around, where it final-
ly rosted is not fully established.

other people, receive it aa "a
gift, or get it by theft or,
fraud, No ottiar way has yet
bpen discovered. The desire 'for
money or its equivalent has from
tho yery first be'en the dominant
desire of an 'overwhelming ma-
jority of mankind, and so it may
be for ages to come, for the great
majority of people will receive
but little respeot from others ex-
cept for the money they may
and which the others try to get
by a pretense of, respeot and
friendship, this being all they
haye to offer in exchange, But

look bad, bad. There is how-

when condition get too bad a
revolution comes, the corruption-
ists are overthrown and soattered
to the four winds and the eter-
nal principles of 'honor and jus-
tice are reenjhroned and receive
the homage of a ruling majority
for a period. It is yet too early
to give an opinion in Mr. Moore's
case. 9 The oyidenoe on the
other side must be heard.

significant squad will dart out
and stir up opponents, then "dart
back to their holes. Occasionally
a cavalry raid iB attempted by
each side onrfho railroads in rear
of each. If either side had a for-
rest these raids might amount to
something, but so far nothing
beyond tearing up a'fow rails
has been accomplished damage
that oould be repaired in a fow
hours. No capture of a train has
been reported. . For the past few
days there have been rumors of
a probable treaty of peace in tho
near future. Probably the con-
aicion ot att&trs at norao among
the Russians gives strongest
grounds for anticipating early
peace. Statesmen of all nations
.do not see, how Russia can pro-
long the' war when the people in
the rear, who must sustain it,
are busy trying to blow one
another up with dynamite
anything else that will kill.
