t publican president to call It and the
k of rerision was undertaken evt once.
Kin begun on the ground that there was
IneuUMency of revenue but the Ding-
till eatued a deficit so long as It re-

at the rerision of the tariff lies in the
1 willingness Of Its beneficiaries to surren-
t any of the monopoUea which they enjoy
. 1 continue their oontrtbutians to the re-
licsn canpalgn fund. Hence the Idea of
proper revision of the tariff by the

Ths "II about Senator Bailey Investing
In ell leads In ths Territory" wes published
"raolueJvely" Tn The Houston Post In Its la-
sue of Sunday August 11 on the firet pace
01 that publication in Tne rati tpeow
Hon John H. Klrby of Houston was given
as Senator Bailey's associate.
.' The only pubiicstlon of ths matter that hoe
ppeared In the Chronicle waa a denial of
Ths Post's story whleh was given by way
of local comment on a clipping from the
Kansas City Star. Ths matter appeared in
the Chronicle of Wednesday under the head-
ing "Texana In the Tulsa Field; Pierce is
Mentioned end Bailey' Interest Dented."-
Houston Chronicle. . v v .: '
Ths special In The rest owns from the
Tort Worth Record and contained no refer
race whatever to "Tleree't or "Frances."
The Record was Imposed on and treats the)
matter as follows: .-.- . if -
It Is a mixing how fabrication pursue Sen-
ator Bailey. The latest was the story of a
'purchase of ell properties in Indian Terri-
tory in partnership with John H. Klrby for
liecoot with ths Intimation that H. Cuvy
Pierce was silent partner to the transac-
tion. - There Is not n word of troth In ths story.
Neither Mr. Bailey nor Mr. Klrby has pur-
chased a dollar's worth of oil property In
the Territory. Mr. Klrbye sole connection
with the transaction was n refusal to buy
property offered to him. Mr. Bailey never
even beard of It until ha rend the story tn
the newspapers.
The Item originated In the Kansas City
Star a reputable newspaper which no doubt
published itetn good faith. It may be -turned
also that the Star's correspondent
furnished the Item upon whst seemed to be
relleble Information. But back of these
sor lewbere a liar Is hidden.
It would be a trifling affair If it were not
ere of many fabrications alike baseless and
manifestly Intended to hurt the senator.
It Would seem byjhts time that the slan-
derers would desist Ths base passion for
scandal which moves many low natures to
invent Bee when tbey. can find no basis for
exaggeration might account for some of the
falsehoods but the persistency with which
the thing Is prosecuted indicates something
mors than Idle gossip. Ths suspicion Is
Justifiable that there W somewhere a fixed
purpose to continue the erusads of charaa-
ter aasaasinatlon. And it Is no ordlnsry po-
litical feud or motive that Inspires ths mo-
tion for political enmity spends itself after
awhile and even personal hatred wear out
In time. More than n gear has passed since
the warfare began. "
Even the senator's honorable political op-
ponents must begin to see that there la n
derate scheme of some kind In which they
are being worked. Common prudence and
fairness admonish them to look well to ths
source of their leadership and Initiative.

It seems that New Tork and Houston are

"Fluffy Ruffles" stunt Boms day In the dis-

however Houston will be concerned about
something new and up-to-date.
If U be true that Mr. Roosevelt has come
to the conclusion hs will not bust the coun

The proposlUon that a public official shall
not accept ernptoymeat from what la termed
pubjioaervlce oerporsti one. appears td have
remained dormant In this oountryNuntll the
svowed enemies bf Senator Bailey began
their fujht upon' him soon after his-triumphant
election nt the' primaries In UOu
So far as my Information extends no seri-
ous question had been raised In the history
of our State or the nation as to the propriety
of a lawyer's acceptance of employment In
bis line from any person or concern whose
life liberty or property was In Jeopardy be-
fore the courts of the country. Some of the
greatest speech ee of which a record baa been
preeei ved hare been made by Halted States
senators and member of congress la defense
of the rights of corpora Uose tn the highest
courts of the land. Although the great Web-
ster was often 'abused by his enemies (and
be had a host of them In his dart for aolttt-
oa high crimes and misdemeanors the fact
that he was often the attorney or corpora-
tions was not deemed ef eufflclent impor-
tance to iustiry a aerloua chares akainat
him.; Many other Instances of similar con-
duct by high public officials could be cited.
It at recalled that ex-Governor James W
Throckmorton during the entire terra of hut
congressional 'service waa the general at-
torney of the Texas Pacific railroad and yet
in all of ths bitter fights that were made
upon mm in this stats no one ever chal-
lenged his personal or political Integrity on
that account There haa not bean a lae-la
latum organised in Texas whose member-
snip in ootn houses aid not embrace those
who were nt the time the paid attorneys of
railroads or other corporations and who did
not take leave of absence to nraotioe their
profession In the courts. - In ths meantime
the most stringent and drastlo legislation
has been enacted to regulate and control
uch corporations and that too while preo-
tlcally evory member . of the law-making
body including the veto bower were ridlnc
at their pleasure on free passes. "
The question than arises when did It be-
come Improper for a public official to accept
such embloymentt Was It whsn ths ehsrgo
waa maos tnst joeepn w. rial ley jutd had
something to do with the rendmlsslon ef the
Waters Pierce Oil -company Into Texas! It
not then will someone better Informed in the
Political bJatory of Texas please state when
It waeT .- r
I would like also to know what Is meant
by the term "public service t ss applied to
corporation.
Is the Standard on company or any' ona
of Its slleged brood a public-esrvtce corpora-
tion T If so then why la not the Farmers
union organised and chartered for the pur-
pose of controlling the price of ootton and
of "bulling" the market on agricultural
products generally a "publlo-eervlrje" eor-
aorariaaf I would like to have a definition
of a "public-service corporation" which will
clearly embrace each as it should he made
uniawrui tor a puuie orricuu to repreaont
In the courts and excluding such aa they
can not represent without detriment to the
service they owe to their constituents and
to the country nt large.
When hatched-up conventions and n on po-
litical Industrial aasoclatlona are denounc-
ing the acceptance of employment from
''public-service ' corporations the people
whe are to pass upon ths principles Involved
should know whst Is meant by the language
used by the "resoiuiers. . . . .
It Is mv deliberate opinion that the whole
alleged trouble la sn eesentlsl part of a
scheme to destroy or to materially Injure
the abler senator in congress rexas au
had since the day of Houston and Rusk.
I denounce the whole scheme s unworthy
of the serious consideration of the fair-
minded and patriotic cltlsenehlp of Texas. '
So long ss a public official of any grade
In the service of the State or the nation
faithfully and efficiently discharges his duty
snd conducts himself In such manner aa to
retain the respect of his neighbors ths pub-
lic need not concern itself about the char-
acter of his clients or the fs thsy are

IS ANTE-BELLtntt TIMES.
A Majority of tha Southern Peoph
Owned No Slaves.
Tothi Ebitos:
Allow ms Just a few words In reply to
your editorial article in The Post today un-
der the caption "In lAnte-BeIlum Times."
I make no complaint of your sarcastic
fling at my limited mean of observation and
opportunity for personal knowledge and I
bear with complacency your lordly looklng-
down upon my poverty of knowledge.
. Of course I make no pretensions to equal-
ity with the. editor ef a newspsper.
I supposed that' even the editor of The
Post would know that I stated the place of
my birth simply to show that I was born in
ths heart of the slave belt and lived among
slave' holders until I was 14 years old. 1
supposed hs would know also that It was
one of the characteristics of slave holders of
moderate fortune that they gave thelt chil-
dren an opportunity to know something of
conditions beyond ths limits of ths county
of their residence be fere they reached tha
ags of 14. 1 supposed It was also known that
while slavery was extinguished In lttt. the
slave holders were not extinguished and
one who lived amongst them could easily
learn who had been alave holders.
I supposed The Post also knew obscure
sa I was that I waa a Southern man who
had always lived In the South and from the
facts staled that I waa now ft veers old.
The facts showed that I bad traveled at
least from Georgia ta Texas snd It might
have been presumed that eoenethlag ef my
M year had been spent oasewbore than In
Jasper county Georgia. - - ".-.
' I considered It not immodest to claim that
my personal knowledge enabled me to .say
that In the Statea named In my former ar-
ticle the conditions described in Ths Post
did not extt. and I wse willing te risk that
assumption with every Southern man beyond
years old. - . - . .
Let us again state ths language of The
post objected to. Here It l: .
"If by cracker la meant the deeesndants of
the former non-slave holding slement of the
Southern people then it ought te be said for
them that they have always been to tne
majority te the South. . . -
"Only a small percentage of the Southern
people were slave-holders ln snte-beilum
days and ths majority of office holders were
of the common people. Likewise It was ths
nor (lav holding class that mads up the
greater part of the fighting force of the Con-
federacy. If the aristocrats were occasion-
ally successful In obtaining polities! honors.
It wae because they were adept In .making
their appeala te the common people who
then as now control affaire." :
' I ntHterstood this language to mean; and I
still understand It to mean 01 that In the
South (I. e. the Btate not simply where
slavery wss permitted but where slsves ros-
stttuted almost entirely the laboring elaasl
the great balance of polltfcal power was with)
the none lave holding fjeopie the great ma-
jority ef euallfled voters beleg nnewlave hold-
ers: (T) that only a small Bereeeitsse of the
cokllfled voters of the South were tiers hold-
ers: (1) that a majority of the ofee hotdere
were of th common people nvsieleg by
that the nonaUve holders; H fhst the stave
holders were aristocrats without political
power and that one ef them rarely mteeeed-
el In obtaining political honors and where
he did s eaceeed It was by the trteats end
acts of a politician whereby he swayed the
Sonalave holders to hs ppvrt; ft) that the
nensiava holders mads up the greater pert
of the fighting force of the Confederacy and
ft) that tn aate-bennm days the newelave
holders called the common smi eentrelled
in iWm mm their flienea oeuts do now.
To me It appeared that In the emtter copied
there wes an andertene end note ef hostility
against the former slave holders snd a perr-
eose to aalnisntse tneir en erector and sn-
Indersrarrd TV Pest hr Its last etertal
te deny seek feeling ef hostility and even
ttt it miarlnsea tn refer b them ee the
artewjerette c'- and the Southern gentry.

I challenge The Post to name twenty men
from the South of National prominence and
reputation In the eongrees of the United
States from 1140 to IH ho were non -slave
holders. Name them nnd for every one you
name I will name- ten mn of equal promi-
nence and reputation who were slave hold-
ers. I challenge The P"' to name ten gov-
ernors In the Southern States from 140 to
WO who were non-tlnvn holders. Name
them and tor every one you name 1 win
name ten governors who were slsve holders.
t challenge The Post in nnme a single leg
islature which ever' met In any Southern
State from 146 te lo a majority of which
were non-slave holder I challenge Th
Post to show nnv statement anywhere In any
census of the United states from 140 te
1SW thst a majority of officers In the Boutti-
em States were during that period non-slave
holders. . . - t
If ths statement of The Post ts true that
ths majority of the offl ts and men of the
Confederate army were non-slave holders
then It would also be true that a majority
of the distinguished offl-frt In the Confed-
erate army were non-slave holders. - - r - .
I challenge The Post to name twenty dis-
tinguished Confederate joidlers who Were
non-slave holder. Nam" them and -for
every one you name 1 will nam twenty dls-"
tingulahed soldiers who were slsve holders.
Will The Poet Inform us from what statis-
tics th Information wa ttlcaned that a ma-
jority of the fighting force of the Confed-
eracy were of the non-sl'ive holding class T
I wish to say this: There sre two things
which I will never deny and for which I will
never apologise 1) that I am a descendant
of slave holders and !) that I am a desoena-
ant of rebel.
So far as I know thlt my final word en
this subject. Respectfully.

THE NATIONAL SEVENTIES :
Are Squandered That Wholesale loot-
ing; JUy Continue. JJ
TotheEmtos: J-'t- " i: :.."VS
A protective tariff bears the same relation
to revenue raising that pocket picking doe
to stealing and among knowing ones It has
the same object and the same effect
Like th orthodox sinner It Is conceived In
sin and shapen In Iniquity.
. About two-third of our National revenues
are squandered tor worse than useless bat-
tleship and preparation for war. War It-
self has net one single virtue and If taxes
were levied ttpon monopolies or thing cre-
ated by government Instead of upon con-
sumption or the things created by labor. It
would do more to discourage war and ru-
mor of war and the preparations for war
and the war spirit so Industriously Incul-
cated by that element in society that profits
by war than all other efforts toward th
abolition of war combined.
When the country gets into trouble either
domeetio or foreign and soldiers are needed
to engage In martial strife the first men
who are called tor and the only class in
any great numbers that can be depended
upon to take up arms and lsy down their
lives In Its defense are the laboring men.
These are the real defenders of ths country
tn every and all senses of the word. And
yet If the protectionist doctrine te true these
people who can defend themselves and all
others In time of war are wholly Incapable
of defending themselves In time of peace.
And who la It that pretends to protect these
helpless and unfortunate working men! It
la ths men who do not make wealth but
who do make law.
And what 1 It they would protect them
againstT Starvation nakedness ths in-
clemency of the weather. But the Only real
antidote for these is food clothing house
and fuel and labor produces all ef them.
And since It I men snd ths things that
men make that they pave te be protected
against what kind of men ars they? Are
they workers Or' loafers? No protectionist
haa ever pretended that th laboring men
of America have to be protected against ths
loaf era either domestic or foreign; yet If the
tsuth were known It would be discovered
thst ths social loafer la ths real enemy of
the laboring man and not tha social worker
How can labor be protected against the
very thing that labor produces hers and
everywhere for the satisfaction of man's
dealret .
It will bo noted that the earn quality Of
mind that believes that this nation can be
Industrially destroyed by the ' everimporta-
tlon of wealth from abroad thinks slso that
It can be vaatly Injured by the overproduc-
tion of wealth at home. let wealth is ths
only reagent for poverty. They also think
thst our present floodtide of prosperity can
sot last because they take ft for granted
that prosperity like the tide. mut always)
ebb and flow unmindful of the fact that If
there la one single stable thing in society
with a constantly upward trend by reason
of Increasing population - and unceasing
needs it is the demand for wealth. Why
ahould society oscillate between prosperity
and adversity when the source of all de-
mands for labor Is as constant a human
propagation? .. --. .
Must It not be because ths srrtrrc of an
prosperity all wealth all Ufa and all human
energy Is sunlight air and land and that
the first two are utterly Impossible to man-
kind without land? But the latter held a

dlmtntetitng fraction of mankind containing
as It does the beginning and end of every-
thing thst satisflet his material neede and

of It Is to exeat a high and still hlxhar trib-
ut from th worker for the privilege of

There Is realljr no dnngeii of a radical con-
flict over State right aa to th question of
railway rat regulation for th slmpls rea-
on that Bute like North Carolina both
South and North ar hot In the right With
retpeqt to the Indiscriminate erusads against
big sOrporatloD. Xlk many Mher States in
ascent years. North Carolina Jut onaoted
pepal statute against aotg ot. Individual
and corporation Which can not b consid-
ered a crimes. Therefore any attempt to
oonrtot under them (a th attempt to hu-
miliate ' ticket agent by putting them on
th chain gang) ta. a a rule a farce. .
A legislature has. not the power to create
crime.. Bight and vwrong in fundamentals
are th asm as they have ever been. For
instance to punish as a felon a man who
takes another man' property i Jutt ! That
Is stealing. . To punish aa a felon a man
who flxea or manipulates the .price of hi
own property. or the price of five property
of his employer. 1 unjust . That Is businee.
There has come to be two sets ef "the
people" In thia country. One set I the
purely fictional "people.1 In whose name
ewtloal demagogues pas unjust snd fool-
h statutes andtba Other set Is the plain
actual common sense people who In real
life show by their action that they hav
no sympathy with ths political vagaries of

cording to these ' statutes gentlemen who
have successfully combined tn business and

ccordlng to these statutes they end their
agents can be sentenced to long terms of
Imprisonment aa common felons. That ts
ths theory of the law and the theory of po-
litical talk on the streets and in ths clubs.
That the ordinary business man of Integ-
rity doe not In actual life and business be-
lieve these law to be Just is evidenced by
the unanimous Indignation expressed In
Houston when It was very plausibly and
Justly shown by The Post that all bustnevs
msn under the practical business system
of ths day might corns under the penal
S revisions of the trust act It would be the
eight of absurdity to contend that a ma-
jority of tha bualneas men of Houston
would uphold thievery snd yet they man-
fully ana Justly stood up for their right to
buy trust goods If It pleased them without
being looked upon aa felons or as apologists
for felons.
Great harm Is being done to large' vested
Interests lnssparately connected with th
welfare of the people by thl seeming ln-
ablllty of legislators to discriminate between
right and wrong business privilege and fel-
ony. It may be right to curtail the ten-
dency to monopoly tir economic statutes; It
Is surely wrong to place such business ex-
uberance In the penal code. '
The greatest danger nowadays Is not from
the conflict of State and Federal rights hut
ths conflict of State with th right ot th
people. A fundamental right of the people
Is its right to engage in business without In-
terference from ' the State as to matter
which should only concern those who fasvs
Iiut up the money. Prices for any eommod-
ty or for any eervioe are properly regu-
lated by forces that should be entirely Inde-
pendent of arbitrary Btate enactment If.
for Instance a railroad finds it expedient
sod profitable to reduee a rate it should
enjoy the right to do so of Its own volition
and conversely. It shsuld enjoy the right
ss does the ordinary business man; to In-
crease a rats. If conditions Justify an In-
crease. The very fabric of business man-
agement la threatened whsn an outside pow-
er steps In to establish arbitrary prices.
What other vast business could hops to
succeed under such a condition?
The talk now la that railroads and other
corporations are run by a few men. This la
absurd. They are run by thousand of msn
who constitute a stalwart part of the people
of every community and who participate In
the reward according to what they have put
up or according to what they do.
Another political assertion Is that a poor
man can not rlre under the corporation sys-
tem. In the light of facts this ts not true.
Nearly all th big railroad men today hav
been poor men. L. S. Berg whe baa Just
been mads presldsnt of a rich road started
a a brakeman. -.
Again to hear th politician talk you
would Imagine that railroad magnate de-
ceive the publlo Into buylngtholr stock.
Thl I not true in fact The stock ex-
changes ars open to ths publta and patron-
ised by th public and railroad stocks like
other stocks are bought and sold according
to the time-worn methods ef human beings

TAYLOR Tex August It. Indication
ar daily becoming more evident that upon
th meeting of the commissioners court In
October a county prohibition election will
be called. Th two year' "dry term" will
have expired In September and the antl
are anxlou to put the- sentiment of th
county to test They ar confident that
the mall majority of nt odd who fay
the last election to the pro will fail to
.materialise. Taylor Granger Coupland
Walburg and BeyarsvUl are the antl strong-
hold and bigger majorities than ever are
expected. Georgetown Hutto Round Rock
Weir and Bertlett are expected to go pro
as usual but not by ss largs majorities.
A radical change In sentiment Is th antl'
main dependence. They also believe they
have ths best of It on poll tax payment.
Very little expression is heard from the
pros but they are equally confident What-
ever the result may be. It will undoubtedly
be a hard-fought fight and a close decision.
Neither side will score a decisive victory.
