the invitation of the State University to
attend the great debates and act as
one of the Judges of oratory and dee- , -
tarnation on the occasion of the con-
test between several boys from the
various schools of the state on the
evenings of May 2nd and 3rd—Fri-
day and Saturday nights of next
week. This will be a most interest-

and it shall be my pleasure to accept
the honor offered to be one of the

Many county agents are 'sending
tn reports of the work they are doing
■for the Alamo Heroes Monument As-
sociation. and It is interesting to
note how some of them' are raising
money for the building ’ fund. The
monument will cost 82,000,000, and
it may seem a difficult task to raise
this sum, but to Judge by some of
the reports received, the people of
Texas Are giving loyal support to th-’

Young men, I commend to you
these words of a man who reached
the very highest pinacie. in his cho-
sen field of operation in life, yet who
never lost sight of the fact, proven
when Saul of Tarsus, the persecu-
tor, glimpsing for the first time the
face of th* Savior, arose with the
exclamation, “Lord, .what wilt thou
hav<> me to do?"—since that day no
man has looked Jesus squarely in
the faet and asked this question
• earnestly, -with an honest purpose to
act upon the answer, but has not
only, like Abou Benadam, been
himself blessed, but has blesed the
world. It is not for you and me to
question nor to carp. To be rich Is
neither against Christianty nor
against the highest interests of the
world. The greatest saints have
been the richest men and women. It
is not the possession, but the use of
money that determines
and character not popular
nor unthoughl-out opinions,
’ mine destiny. St. Paul, who
first “Saul the . Persecutor," i
said: “The l*v* of money is the root
of all evil," meaning to love riches
for fheir own sakes. It is not
wrong to accumulate property. It is
not even against the best service of
humanity to be very rich. It is the
use made of the power that* deter-

dther Interest by
giving them competition In selling all
they raise without in turn permitting
them to buy as freely of unprotected
manufacturng articles, says:
“Is there any escape from the
conclusion that if the farmers
are suffering ‘hard times' (The
News had Just called attention to
the fact that there had been an
Increase of 80 per cent of all
food stuffs, and of 43 per cent
of all other commodities, since
1898) they owe their suffering
to their own inefficiency, rather
than to any misfortune."
The News means, evidently, that
while farm products have increased
enormously since 1898, farmers have
not received their Just share of this
increase because of their lack of in-
telligent handling of their own busi-
ness, of their ovAi products; that
they have permitted n others, really
useless and needless middlemen, to
get the lion’s share of this increase
in the way of profits between the
producer and the consumer; that as
a mater of faet the farmers have not
gotten any more, or not much more for
their products than they did in 189G.
but that the consumer has paid near-
ly double for them; that this enor-
mous increase has gone to swell un-
character. necessary profits for a class of men
not oeded tn the economy of either
commerce, production, transportation
or distribution—and that it Is be-
cause of the Idle eareleranese and
the stupidity of farmers themselves
that this ie the faet. I take it that is
what the News meant by the above.
And It is true, too—which is more
the pty. And the News could (had
it been really and truly aa sealous

for the consumer—which is, perhap-
asking too much of such a business
enterprise ss the News, which gets
Its largest dividends through the pat-
ronage of the consumer and the mid-

that the farmers are awakening to

the News shows they lack, In suffer-
ing their loss of Just profits; that

side interests will ever help farmers
