The clear, plain speech of the Texas

statement of the Democratic attitude and
a warning that the opposition is on the

not fully and fairly set forth both sides
and an sides of pending questions. Con-
stant vigilance and courageous speech by
the opposition in this tariff legislation is
the beat and surest way to bring out the
truth. Senator Bailey cannot devote his

stand guard over every phase of tariff
making.

From hU latest message th® governor
evidently belleves that Texas, like Gaul,
is divided Into three parts—

who oppose the masses as exemplitied by
the governor are th® asses.—Denton Rec-
ord and Chronicle.
; culpability of those who have by specula-
[ tion put the price up to a point where the
resulting increased price of bread may
work hardship* on the poor, we are im-
pressed with the necessity for doing some-
thing to stimulate and develop the growing
of wheat in Texas. The improvement of
Galveston harbor has brought the wheat
fields of Texas thousand® of miles nearer
to Europe, where there is always a demand
for wheat. Add to thia the earliness of
the Texas crop, w hich matures from three
to four weeks ahead of other wheat grow-
ing nectionr. and, corner on the market
wh®n prices are always up, and the oppor-
tunity of the Texas farmer becomes obvious.
| But there is another side to the picture.
Successive crops of wheat reduce the yield.
In North Central Texas, where in former
years when the soil was virgin yields of
thirty to forty bushels per acre were not
uncommon, the yield now ranges from eight
to fifteen bushels, the latter figure being
about the maximum. The opening to set-
tlement of the vast ranges of Northwest
Texas and the discovery that the land was
adapted to growing wheat resulted in a
large ncreaft - being planted and bountiful
in favor of the divine right of railroad cor-
corporations. -iao, during the height of
the commercial activity, there was a notable
-disregard shown by the railroads toward
the public they were supposed to serve.
Farmers and fruit growers were in panic
at their inability to get cars to carry their
produce to markets, and eastern manufac-
turers were as distressed and suffered as
heavily by not being able to get shipments
to western buyers as ’did the western buy-
ers in their inability to get the goods con-
tracted for. Yet the railroad companies'
were making no effort to increase or better
. the service.
It is true that if the railroads be har-
raised and their business depressed by un-
just laws it is" not only, the railroads, their
thousands of employes and thousands of
stockholders who suffer, but the whole
country. There should be laws just to all
concerned, and, as Mr. Yoakum has said,
they should be impartially enforced. Never-
theless, the attitude of the railroads has
been such that the people have concluded
that the railroads would "not be apt to give
a square deal unless they were legislated
into it, and .that fact may have had some
effect in making laws which in the final
analysis have been proven unwise.

Senator Bailey of Texas made an ad-
mirably clear and cogent reply to Senator
Aldrich Thursday In the discussion over
the manner of making up the tariff bill
Mr. Aldrich susgested to Democratic sen-
atom that their states were “wedded to
the doctrine of protection”: that the "doc-
trine of the old Democratic party" was
dead, and that Democratic senators might
as well make up their minds to “join the
procession?' He insisted that tariff for
revenue only was an obsolete doctrine,
which Democrats themselves had aban-
doned.
Mr. Bailey denied that the Democrats
of the senate had abandoned this doctrine.
He held that the difference rran one of
principle, and that, If the principle of tariff
for protection was to override that of a
tariff for revenue only, th® protection
principle should be applied fairly to all
sections and commodities, "It ia not an
