Dallas county will wield a power- j
ful influence in state politics this year
as she has 27,546 voters who did not
neglect to provide themselves with
poll tax receipts before it was too
late. It is stated that poll tax pay-
ments for tile state as a whole arc
just nbout the same as last year, and
that fact indicates that many Texas
voters have been disfranchised.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Feb. 5.—
Japanese commercial expansion in
the Dutch East Indian archipelago is
a subject of which many colonial Hol-
lander hold strong views. They fear
a pacific penetration by Japan of the
(rich “emerald girdle,” th,3 great is-
land group situated just to the south
of the Philippines. Imports from Ja-
pan into the Dutch East Indian colo-
nies in the last five years have more
Than doubled, and now amount to
close upon $8,000,000 annually.
The Japanese have already secured
such a hold on many branches of man-
ufactured goods on the Java market
that a spontaneous boycotting move-
ment arose some time ago against
them. Much was expected from this
at the time, but colonial papers which
have just arrived in Holland say that
it will be almost impossible to drive
Japan-made goods from the Java mar-
ket owing to their cheapness, the re-
sult of low-priced native labor in Ja-
pan. These cheap prices have created
a steady, regular demand in the Dutcu
East Indies for Japanese goods.
The war in Europe has benefited
Japanese trade considerably. Japan-

laugh at sucli efforts, as they will of-

against them the whitewashing they
received at the hands of the Roose-

only hope for the livestock producers
of the country to free themselves from
the packing octopus is to carry out
their threat of building independent
packing houses and the establishment
of independent markets.

substituting one master for the lorty-
nino masters that regulate our com-
merce today. The main trouble wit i
the regulation of our railway system
is that corporate law has been destruc-
tive, not constructive, has been piece-
meal, not comprehensive.
"The President of the Unit, si Siiic;
in his recent message lo Congre j h is
recommended that a commissi >:i
should be appointed to give a thorough
investigation to all tiie problems that
confront us in the field of transporta-
tion. As I understand th,o purpose of
this investigation, it is not to hold an
inquest of what had happened in the
past. If errors have been commitu d
cr injuries have been done, that is
question for the courts and not for
legislation. The real purpose to be
accomplished by the investigation i
to give an opportunity for all concern
ed—the farmer, the merchant, those
directly engaged in transportation, the
Interstate Oommero.o Commission, and
the railroad managers to appear be-
fore a committee of Congress and state
their views in reference to a solution
of this great problem with tiie view
in mind that in the council of many
we shall find wisdom to guide our leg-
islative course.
“Let us hope that the result of this
.'investigation will be productive of
wise legislation—legislation that will
build up and not destroy—legislation
that will be helpful and not hurtful—
legislation that will bring lasting and
complete prosperity to the people of
America.”,
Senator Underwood added that in
his opinion adequate transportation
facilities for this country, both from
tiie standpoint of service and safety,
would mean making roadbeds more
secure and permanent, enormous in-
jerease in trackage, safety equipment

The Bull Mobs,ers have put out a
Tull state ticket in the State of Loui-
siana, and that fact but serves to re-
mind us that ever since that state was
stolen for Rutherford B. Hayes, who
succeeded in drawing the official sal-
ary of Samuel J. Tilden in conse-
quence, the Republicans have steadily
had confidence in their ability to again
steal Louisiana.
Reports from AVest Texas indicate
that the wheat and oat crops of that
section will probably be a complete

stimulated the repair of shrapnel
wounds.
The Simpson light, named after its
discoverer, is based on the affinity of
rare metals ‘hr each other. Mr. Simp-
son had noted that the combustion of
certain ores produced a light having
a curative effect on th« hands of the
workmen. He produced an electric
arc lamp with these ores as elec-
trodes, notably tungstate of iron and
wolfram. Two kinds of rays are pro-
duced, visible and invisible. The in-
visible are heat rays anij ultra-violet
rays, the latter differing somewhat
from ultra-violet rays hi the “to ob-
tained. Tiie Simpson ultra-viole' light
is more intense than that given by a
carbon arc like the Finsen lamp. It
is in fact richer in ultra violet waves
than any other lamp. ,
The installation at St. Bartholo-
mew's was made last July. The light
is said to have produced marked ben-
efits in the treatment of diseases of
the nose and throat as well as in the
case of skin diseases. The vapor from
tiie lamp also seems to help asthma.
A case of obstinate eczema and one
