iiiiales, Texas, April 9, 1914-
Now is the time for the city editor
• of ■» farm paper to light a cigarette
• and Sell the farmer all about plowing-.
Although there is no prospect of
a-firsr,. this country is now spending a
■quarter of a billion dollars each year
in getting ready for war. And the
pefflsaon list is almost as large a sum.
War is a great business—we don't
Sirange it is how few reports have
bee® printed in the press relative to
the loss of the fruit crop. If the buds
have not been frozen at least a dozen
t'im&s by now—according to reports—
te we suspect that something is rad-
ically wrong, either with the fruit
.prospects or with the news service of
■thecountry. Every fruit crop must
foe killed a dozen times before it pro-
ducts.
The 228 Texas cotton seed oil mills
crashed 1,156,063 tons of seed from the
pj Texas cotton crop reports the
"•Census Bureau. Texas leads the
srcsrM in the production of cotton seed
and cotton seed products and 26 per
■eeatoci the cotton seed crushing estab-
listalests of the nation are located in
Shis, state. During the pa-st year 19
■coital; oil mills have been established
in Taaeas.
)REVERENCE FOR LAW.
Perhaps one of the highest tributes
ever paid to any soldiers is that o!
Miguel Ordorico, a Mexican journal-
ist, in an article describing the Amer
ican marines at Vera Oruz. He sees
much in the Anglo-Saxons to dislike,
but in the following paragraph he
tells the story of their respect for law:
"The American marines are not
temperate, and at times get barbarous-
ly drunk. When the marines first
came here one policeman used to try
to handle one marine by force and
had to call other policemen to his
assistance. But now the policemen,
instead of fighting with them and
making them angry, only indicate that
it is the law and not the policemen,
personal]y, that the marine is to obey.
And one policeman has thus been able
to handle eight marines, when it used
to take-eight policemen to handle one
marine."
In this one paragraph there appears
great admiration for physical prow-
ness and the highest commendation
for their reverence for authority.
The article from which the para-
graph is taken speaks of fear| that the
Americans are bent upon subjugating
Mexico, and the writer says we have
no heart. Yet the very respect for
constituted authority which Senor
Ordorica so much admires is a refuta-
tion of his fear. Heartless people
with physical power have no regard
for law.
Our Mexican neighbors need not
fear us. As the Mexican journalist
observes, we "possess everything—
warships, cannons, young and vigor-
ous soldiers, money and numbers"
But America's power will never be
used to wrong any people, least of all
a weaker nation. Whatever may be
the ambitions of selfish exploiters,
the spirit of the American marines,
who permit one policeman to control
eight of them is the sprit of the great
mass of our people—reverence for the
law—that law which makes all people
our brethren, and commands us to do
unto otliers as we would have others
do unto us. (Austin Tribune).

Ttiereare 49,000,000 bushels of the
1913 corn crop in the granaries of
*T«ssas reports the Department of Agri-
coJisre, and compared with this time
Siisi year, this a decrease of 3,000,000
trasihels. This amount is insufficient
to last the farmers until the next har-
vffli and approximately 45,000,000
ims&els will have to be imported at a
cost k> the farmers of $30,000,000.
That '"'Mexican situation" is still in
am unsettled state. In fact there are
mnny unsettled state* in Mexico.

.JCSTS- There is a J most no place to
once we put our hand to the
.plow in, that land of treason and
Irmchery. It is a rotten mess at the
very best.
Hen are doing strange and unusual
things these days. Take for illustra-
tions the manufacturer at Binghamton,
Jf, Y., whose shop was burned a year
wso ago, causing the death of more
tljaa 30 men and women. He was a
radb man; he had made his wealth,
ami the chances are that he loved his
rkfoes. Yet he recently conveyed ail
lrit> fortune—reputed to be three mill-
ions of dollars—to a trust company,
libs-income from it to go to the f ami-
lie* of those who were burned to dearli
in Ms factory. Then he got-a job as
drift in a store, and started life anew,
aft the age of <65. That man has Car.
nags® beaten every way. Besides he
clars not talk about ' himself and
©fflaws, as .'arcegie does.
THE VULGARITY OF SWEARING.
fAt the request of those women of
Cleveland who smarted the clean lips
or "Don't Swear" campaign, rhe po-
lice of that city have been instructed
by its chief of police to reprove pro-
fane swearers and cursers exercising
their art in public places: and if the
reproved oath hurlers persist in their
ear-scalding language to arrest them.
An Ohio statute sets a fine of $1 for
each mephitic expletive, if that statute
were enforced Ohio would have a sur-
plus of at least a billion dollars.
W-ith the religious and moral as-
pects of profanity the churches and
the societies of the Holy Name can
deal. To persons impervious to the
high and sacred arguments it should
b& enough to say that the habit is
vulgar. Yet in this country, and not
least in this city, in cars, in the
streets, you may hear from well-
dressed men such hideous and obscene
speech as the lowest Whitechapel
lingo" would not be ashamed of.
In this matter The Sun is far from
taking any priggish ground. Profan-
ity of a certain kind may be permis-
sible at the proper time and place. It
is a safety valve for the temper, is too
often a mark of exacerbated nerves
and insufficient self-control. But it-
is a relish, not a joint. And all the
relief and all the enjoyment it affords
—and none can it give to those who
abuse it—may be had innocently
■enough and even with luxury and re-
search of words. "Tripe find onions,"
Pitch, tar and turpentine," "Cats
and calendar," "Money Devil take
it," "Great Colonel," "Jackson and
Josephus," "Pankburst it"—a thou-
sand flowers of fancy opeu their gra-
cious petals to the artistic and unpro-
fane swearers.—New York Sun.

Drug Economy
Depends
more upon quality than price.
Y ou should have pure and po-
tent drugs, if you expect good
results from their use. I buy
only drugs of standard strength
and sell them at prices that are
often charged for the inferior
kind.
If you compare my prices
with those asked elsewhere, be
sure to compare the quality of
goods also. I shall be satisfied
with your decision. May I sup®
ply your drugs?

It seems to make little difference
what President Wilson wants, Con-
gress is there to hand it out to him.
The repeal of the canal tolls was a
bold strike, but the president carried
it through with a whoop. He certain-
ly is something of a puller.
