Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana
visited Cleveland where he addressed
the Civic club.*This was his foreword:
“We ought to quit whittling away at
the tariff anti prohibition and abolish1
hungar, the real enemy of mankind
in this land of plenty.”
He predicted that the nation is fac-
ing evolution or revolution in the next
10 years. Sure, the nation is facing
evolution—the law of life and nature.
Present economic conditions, accord-
ing to the Pelican senator, should be
rectified by placing purchasing power
in the hands of 20,000,000 people. He
was given "great applause” when he
said “You are no man if you wouldn’t
steal to keep your family from starv-
ing,” and was given wild applause
when he attacked “a bloated pluto-
cracy whose senses have been deaden-
ed by the lethal fumes of prosperity.”
.. Strange to relate, Senator Huey P.

elect a delegation which will jump in
any direction, when Huey cracks the
whip. At least, this is what the boys

straphangers in America. There is an
old story of a wolf in the clothing
or skin of a sheep. Well, the story,
was true in the long ago and it is
true today. It would be much truer
if it were revised to read “sly foxes

The Texas Centennial, a celebration
of 100 years of progress, will be fit-
tingly odserved in 1936, if the people
will authorize the legislature* next
autamn to provide funds for such a
celebration. The Centennial proposi-
tion will come before the voters in
the fornt-oY, a Constitutional Amend-
ment at the November election. The
celebration would probably be held
between Fort Worth and Dallas, near
the center of population of the
state, although this is only a sug-
gestion as to place.
A sample of paper bearing twenty-
five per cent cotton content has come
to the desk of Free Press Editor. The
paper is of a very fine quality, ap-
parently, and classes in the low-
price field, where the heaviest ton-
nage falls. Should the public take
to this class of papeffc. it would be
just another way of helping ourselves
siltce thousands of tons of this class
of paper would call for many thous-
ands of bales* of cotton annually.

TEXAS NEEDS
MORE HOGS
FOR HOME
SUPPLY
1*5 JL*A. 1X1 1901
there were TWO hogw to every farm,
or 880,000 hogs in the state. There
are literally thousands of farms on
which there to—not a hog!
In the face of this fact, Texas last
year imported 2,500,000 pounds of
pork to supply the demand of the
state , spending some millione of
dollars for it in -other, states, thus
_ . rtStoSJedlitodaZit.in’his ’hen-roost,
impoverishing Texas.
This practice is the poorest brand
of economy. Hogs are too easy raised
in Texas for any money at all to be
sent out of the state for pork, indeed
it would be too easy to export meat
products, instead of importing-it.
The wealth of Texas lies in a large
. measure in her soil. When farms
prosper the whole state prospers.
When farm products reach a low
price level the whole economic struc-
ture sinks to a low level. The answer
to the present depressed conation
’ lies largely in the farms. When far-
mers create new wealth, and the
world is prepare^ to absorb it, good
& times will come.
In spite of the fact that hog prices
are low, there ought to be three or
four times as many hogs on Texas
farms as how. And there will be one*
of these days.
