“The Texas Federation of Worn- that he did eo after arriving at a

an exhibit in the State Building
at the St. Louis World’s Fair. It
can not be denied that the feder-
ation plays an important part in
the intellectual life of the State.
In thorough organization and far-
reaching benefits it stands cIobc
to the public school system itself
in affording means of culture, not
to the classes, but to the masses;
and next to the educational ex
hibit to be made by the State of

that the club exhibit will be look
ed upon as representative of
what Texas offers its people in

become that a determined effort

loss to the cattleman. The time
has come when Texas cattle have

thus wantonly sacrificed for
form of barbarity that has been
popularly designated as sport.”

The Democratic Opportunity
Indianapolis 8entinel: The next
few months are big with possibil-
ities for the Democratic party.
There is the chance to obtain fall,
control of both branches’of the
government for the second time
Biace the war, the chance not on-
ly to put Democrats into office
but to bring the republic back to
the paths that are well-beaten and
safe. To accomplish this only
unity of effort and the subordina-
tion of personal ambitions to the
general good are needed.—j Co-
lumbia (S. O ) State.
There is much in this. Unity
of purpose, and that purpose along
right lines, will bring success. As
to personal ambitions, we believe
that there is no Democrat worthy
of a place in the councils of his
party who is not willing to make
them secondary “to the general
good.” We believe that every
Democrat in the country who has
leadership standing and every
other Democrat who wishes the
success of his party will be will-
ing to make any personal sacrifice
that may be necessary te accom-
plish that end. Oar governmeni
has been drifting away from its
moorings. It is getting oat of the
still political waters and into tron
bled seas. We are strong, bnf
we should be generous. We are
commercial, but we should be
fair. We are law-abiding and
should respect the law. A na-
tion is not great merely because it
is powerful. It is only great
when, by the force of its example,
it leads the world toward better
things. We must go forward
and not backward, bat we mast
go forward right. Constitutional
government umst be maintained
at all hazards. On that the Dem
ocratic party has always insisted.
There is no need for swashbnek
ling nor swashbucklers. The peo
pie demand an adherence to the
policies that have made us great
and are ready to rebuke the poli-
cies that will make us ridionlons.
What will happen with four years
more of Roosevelt is a question
that should give ns pause. His
election would be more than a
disaster—it would be a catastro-
phe.
Roosevelt and that the real ob-
ject of the measure was to pro-
pitiate the financial interests
which, if we are to believe some
of the Republican thunder-makers,
have been incensed by the Presi-
dent’s more or less fierce on-
slaught against the trusts.
The bill was scarcely introduc-
ed before it became painfully ap
parent that the country would
lave none of it. Thereupon the
President called in his trusty
; ?hil Knox and issned a disclaimer
of any connection with or any
approval of the measure.
Thus the President at the same
time demonstrated bis ingratitude
and his otter lack of principle. It
was unquestionably his deliberate
purpose to so emasculate the al-
ready inadequate anti trust legis-
lation as to insure him the sup-
port of the Wall street interests
supposed to be opposed to him
because of the vigorless and alto-
gether futile attack on the trusts
which, for the effect he hoped it
would produce the President made
some months ago. Bat he soon
foand that the financial kings
were not being properly influenc-
ed by the news of his connection
with the Foraker bill.
One of the most remarkable
features of the situation lies in
the fact that the Foraker bill is
exactly in line with an argument
made in a speech delivered by the
attorney general at Pittsburg on
October 14,1902. This was about
the time the President, to quote
the Hew York Sud, had been
“ emitting through Hew England
and the West confused and cha-
otic ideas on the subject of trust
repression.” That argument re-
ceived the fall and complete ap-
proval of the President at the
time, a fact which is obviously an-
other proof that Mr. Roosevelt
knew all abont the Foraker bill
before it was introduced, and
sought to gain political capital
thtongh its introduction.

Dallas, Tex., Feb. 6.—The Tex-

will be dedicated March 30. This
is the date which has been decid-
ed on by the Executive Commit-
tee of the Texas Commission. It
is hoped that a large nnmber of
Texans will attend the ceremonies.
Governor Lanham and a number
of other State officers will be in-
vited to be present.
The St. Louis Southwestern, or
Ootton Belt Railroad has con-
tributed $3000 to the Texas
fund. The Ootton Belt is a heavy
subscriber to the stock of the
Exposition Company, so that its
subscription to the Texas fund
shows how eager it is to assist in
any movement whose purpose is
the development of Texas.
The Texas and Pacific Railroad
Company has given additional ev-
idence of its interest in Texas
World’s Fair work by donating
several hundred exhibit jars,
worth $1000, together with a lot
of exhibit material and a minia-
ture railroad train of twelve or
fourteen cars. This train will be
need in the State’s exhibit in the
Agricultural Palace. The ears
will be loaded with Texas prod-
ucts, and the whole train propell-
ed around a circular track by a
motor, which will be fitted to the
locnuaotiy.e.
For this valuable gift, the Com-

fnl backdown of President Roose-
velt in connection with the Fora-
ker trust bill is one of the most
striking evidences of his weak-
ness and indecision that has yet
come to light. It proves that he
is much mors of a political trim
mer, willing to do almost any-
thing to inoreaae bis chances for
securing the nomination, than a
bold and fearless executive who
will insist on doing what he be-
lieves to be right though the heav-
ens fell.
The Foraker bill, as those who
have kept up with reports con-
cerning it know, is designed to re-
move from existing anti-trust laws
whatever modicum of virility and
best possible condition. Tire
Commission beUe.yes that tb>s
will be a distinctive feature of its
exhibit, because few of the States
will be able to do likewise. This
plan ought also to prove of value
to the growers, for U will demon-
strate that because of its nearness,
Texas can pot fruit on the market
in a fresher and better condition
than can most other States.
The various departments of the
Texas Exhibits are in au advanc-
ed state of progress, and it may
he said now without fear that the
display which Texas will make in
agriculture, minerals and building
stone, foroetry and in educational
matters will be the pride of eyery
;oes to spow, that employees se-

Texan who beholds it.
Every field crop grown in the
State will be shown in the agri-
cultural exhibit, from the Kaffir
corn and wild grasses of the up-
per plains to the rice, sugar and,
tobacco of the coast country.
This exhibit will prove that
Texas offers better and a wider
variety of opportunities to the
agriculturist than does any other
State.
The fruit exhibit will bo a reve-
lation to most people. It will dem-
onstrate that Texas makes no idle
boast when it claims rivalship
with California in the advantages
which it offers to the hortienltnrr
ist. Hot alone will it be shown
that in growing peaches, Tex-
as is pre-eminent, but it will be
proven that we can produce ap-
ples and pears and grapes as per-
fect as our peaches,
it will be shown that along the
Lower Rio Grande, Texas can
grow profitably oranges, lemons,
figs, dates and other semi-tropic
al frnits, whereas it will be made
equally clear that Texas is des-
tined to be the center of the pe-
can.growing industry.
AU the minerals fouud in Texas

most people imagine—will be
Shown, but what will perhaps at-
tract greater attention will be the
display of building and prnarnent-
al stones, some cf them hereto-
fore unknown to geology. Texas
will display a greater variety of
marbles and granites than any
other State, and Vermont and
Hew Hampshire will lose their
titles to pre-eminence in quarry
interests when these exhibits shall
be made. The exhibits of clays
and kaolins will prove that
Texas has the basis for a greater
pottery and china-making than
Hew Jersey or Ohio.
More than a hundred varieties
of woods will be shown in the
Forestry Exhibit. Some of these
are hardwoods of great value,
and ’hey are found in Texas in
commercial quantities. They will
be s- own in three states—rough,
saw aril polished—while a num-
ber them will be worked up in-
geniously. The Forestry Exb’bjt
prom see to bo one of tho most
attractive that Texas wiH make.
Tjjese are only the main divis-
ions of the display. There will be
an exhibit to represent our apiary
interest, as well as the fibre plants,
and color-yielding flora and fanna
of the segii.-arid section.
Tho Commission wants every
man in Texas to get a proprietary
interest in this Exhibit by* con-
tributing to the fund needed to
provide it. State pride and bus-
iness instinct, it believes, shonld
make every Texan responsive.
The State is committed to , the
Exhibit; the only question re-
maining is as to the thoroughness
of that Exhibit. A poor Exhibit
would be worse than none. Few-
er than three months remain until
the opening of the Fair and the
Commission is making its final
appeals to the people.

CATTLE QUESTION.
ATTITUDE OF WORLD’S
FAIR TOWARD LIVE
STOCK FROM BELOW
QUARANTINE
LINE.
Washington, Feb. 5.—The atti-
tude of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition toward cattle coming
from below the quarantine line is
not altogether settled, as indicated
in last night’s dispatches. Presi
In addition, dent Francis has agreed that range
cattle in car loads may be shipped
but this means that exhibits of
this character must be made after
Hov. 1, when quarantine restric-
tions under the law do not apply.
As for the proposition to exhibit
halter broke cattle from the South
President Francis stated last night
that he had agreed to the Culber-
son amendment to the loan amend-
ment.
Tonight I asked President Fran-
cis whether his agreement to the
Culberson amendment would hold
good if the loan proposition failed
and he replied, “I ean not say as
to that. Such an arrangement will
necessitate a large outlay of mon-
ey in the way of building separate
pene, and if we- do not get this
loan, I am not sure that we wil
be able to undertake this addition-
al expense. If the loan passes we
will comply with all the require-
ments of the Oulberson amend-
ment because we will be financial-
ly able to do so; otherwise, I am
not so sure.”
This pats a different phase on
the situation. The exhibition of
halter broke cattle from north of
the Federal quarantine line clearly
depends upon the passage of the j
loan with the Culberson amend-
ment.
> President Francis has been
greatly irritated at the attitude of I
Senator Bailey toward the loan
amendment. The two men are
warm personal friends and Fran-
cis expected his friend to support
the loan, which in Bailey’s view is
an unwarranted proposition to
take from the treasury $4,600,000
which Congress has no right legal-
ly or morally to loan. Plainly
speaking, Mr. Bailey regards the
loan as a clean cat steal.
“I am fond of Francis,” said the
Senator from Texas, “but I hope
it can never be said of me that I
win a man who will violate his con-
victions in a matter of public duty
to serve a friend. I have no
friend and hope never to have one
who can make me forget whet ap-
New Isthmian Gainai Route.
A bill has been introduced in congress
to provide for the construction of an
interoceanlc canal by what Is known as
the Mandingo route, which lias been
surveyed by general Serrell, the re-
tired army engineer who built the
great Hoosick tunnel and the long Ni-
agara bridge at Lewiston. This route
is through the narrowest, part of the
isthmus and will be really a ship tun-
nel hewn out of "the solid rock. The
tunnel is to be 166 feet high, 95 feet
wide and 5Ya miles long. In case the
Panama canal is dug by this govern-
ment a company is proposing to build
the tunnel canal anyway.
Treasury Deficit Feared.
Chairman Henjenway of the house
appropriations committee warned the
house during the debate on the nrgent
deficiency bill- that the treasury was
facing a deficiency of $42,000,000 if the
recommendations of the vtfrious depart-
ments for appropriations were agreed
to. He urged rigid economy.
Canal Amendments Withdrawn*
Fearing that a limitless debate of
the amended Panama Cafial treaty in
the senate would endanger its final
ratification, the Republican leaders de-
cided to withdraw all the amendments
so that a vote' CoXild be forced at an
early date. The genatq passed the
Culberson resolution culling for all
Panama facts, but amended so as to
include the phrase “if not incompatible
with the public interest.”

War Hung on Two Words.
While waiting for the expected Rus-
sian reply the Japanese government
decided to issue bonds for a $50,000,-
000 war loan and to double the land,
income and sugar taxes. The situation
in Korea continued critical, and a riot
at Seoul was barely averted by the
American marines when a mob attack
ed a car on the American trolley lino.
Russia formally denied the reported
statement of her representatives in tho
east that the American consuls in Man-
churia would be obstructed.
The declaration of war seemed to de-
pend on just two words in the proposed
treaty. Japan wanted the independ-
ence of “China and Korea” guaranteed.
Russia had struck out the words “Chi-
na and,” it was thought.
