Wrecks snd Operators.
Two wrecks have occurred lately on
electric roads in Indiana, caused by
trainmen making mistakes, In which
about forty people were killed and
many badly hurt. When the railway
disasters are summed up we will find
that they are occasioned largely by
the errors of operatives and often by
criminal negligence.—Sherman Demo-
crat.
That is the first-hand view. If one
takes the matter to its last analysis it
wih be found in nine cases out of ten
that the man who forgot or blundered
with fatal result was being worked
more hours a day or night than he
could stand, retaining clear headed-
nesa. If that be true—and there seems
little doubt about it—the responsibility
for the wrecks and loss of life should
rest higher up than the operator.

Harriman to the white house and urged
him to raise $260,000 for the national

Harriman said turned 50,000 votes in

he violently asakiled Harriman; he was

The Taft administration seems born
to thouble through ripping up the
Roosevelt policies. The latest develop-
ment is the refusal of Chief Con-
structor of the Navy Capps to retire
at the request of Secretary Meyer. The
attempted reorganisation of the staff of
the navy has created two factions who
sre as hostile to each other as though
thery wore at war. The chief trouble
has been that, like Dr, P. M. Rixey, the
surgeon general who demanded that he
be given the title of n admiral of tho
line and be allowed to transact busi-
ness with the president Independent of
his superiors, they all want the high
cities.
Secretary George Von Longerke
Meyer does not seem able to control
the belligerents having no experience
in naval matters, his business being
cotton manufacturing and banking
with politics as a plaything. Perhaps
by ordering out the horse-marines he
can keep Capps out of the navy de-
partment for a while at leasL
vestigation into the methods of dis-
posing of the school lands, and also the
school land laws, aa his state has a
law providing for the endowment of a
permanent school fund similar to the
Texas statute. Mr. Alexander said that
there are now 8,000,000 acrea of land in
Oklahoma set aside to the permanent
school fund, and this land is cut into
blocks of 40, 40, 80 and 140 acres and
sold to actual settlers. This land is
sold on the same terms as in Texas;
that is, one-fortieth cash, balance pay-
able in forty yean. The rate of inter-
est, however, is higher than in Texas.
In Oklahoma the rate is 5 per cent on
deferred payments, while in Texas the
rate is only 3 per cent These three
million acres of land, Mr. Alexander
said. have been appraised at 880.000.000.
but he said the land was reasonably
worth 883.000.000. When Oklahoma be-
came a state and the Indian Territory
was annexed thereto, the federal gov-
ernment donated to the new state $5,-
000.000 to reimburse the state, as there
were no school lands in the Indian Ter-
ritory. Thus now it is estimated that
the permanent school fund of th® state
of Oklahoma to worth 888,000,000. The
interest on the land sold is used for
the payment of the teachers in the
public schools. A great portion of this
public school land to already under
lease and la bringing k nice sum for the
available school fund, besides many
acres have already been sold and the
Interest is producine revenue for the
maintenance of the schools. Mr. Alex-
ander said that under the law in Okla-
homa the lessee has the preference
right in the purchase of the land, while
if another person wishes to purchase
the land, when it has been leased, he
is required to pay tho lessee the full
amount expended on improvements.
This tend usually brings more than the
average Texas school land. Mr. Alex-
ander said that In some instances pub-
lic school lands have been sold for as
much as 875 to 8100 an acre when such
l*nd is situated near a township. Mr.
Alexander will be here for a day or so
looking into the various phases of the
Texas land laws.
)M to the thanka t
The attorney general yesterday tn an
opinion to the mayor of Denton, re-
fused to approve an isue of Denton
street and road bonds which as pro-
vided for by article R, section 9, of the
constitution, for levying a 15-cent tax
for roads and bridges. The action of
the attorney general is based on the
fact that the statute on this subject
omits the mention of streets and the
'courts have held the proceedings from
such bonds can be used for current ex-
penses. Some bonds have heretofore
been issued under this statute, but no
more will be approved until the mat-
ter la settled In the courts.

Murder and Immunity.
What we need worse than an antt-
hip pocket law is a change that will
permit intelligent. Informed men to elt
on the jury when a murderer le to be
tried. Then we need more men with
courage'enough to convict a shooter
who has no excuse for shooting ex-
cept that a man has hie hand In his
pocket when he Is shot, or is making
a move as if to put his hand in his
pocket. Many a cold-blooded mur-
derer has been acqyitted to Texas
a hen he deliberately mad® trouble
with another and shot him because he
moved hla hand as if to put it In his
pocketoBonham News.
In other words we need enforcement
of existing laws. The great trouble In
this matter I* not that see ar* short of
proper laws, but that we are short of
public opinion. As long as a man can
be acquitted of a deliberate murder
upon a flimsy ecuse that is almost
greeted wtlh a smile, ywe have not
reached a stage of civilisation where
murder can be checked by law. It is
a shameful truth applicable all over tho
country.

A settlement of the circus back tax
suits which have been pending for some
time in the court* here and in various
points in the state was reached yester-
day between the state and the defend-
ants. Ringling Bros., Barnum-Bailey
and Sell Bros. Under the settlement
reached between the state and the de-
fendants, the state recovers a judg-
ment in a lump sum of 812,000, 810,000
of which to against Ringling Brp., and
the remainder against the other de-
fendants. The total amount sued for
by State Revenue, Agent McDonald
was for approximately 880,000, but after
investigation it was found that in many
instances the state would be unable to
obtain sufficient testimony to make
out a case as the suits were eeveral
cases for back taxes extending over a
period of five years. There were ten
suite in all agalnet these shows, two
of them were pending in the district
court here and the others at Dallas,
Fort Worth, Cleburne, Waco, Green-
ville, Weatherford, Parte and Belton.
John M. Kelly, general attorney for
Barnum-Bailey shows, represented the
defendants In the settlement of the
suits. State Revenue Agent McDonald
has been working on these suits for the
past year or two and feels that he has
earned $12,000 for the state which
would otherwise not have been col-
lected.
FACTS ABOUT ROOSEVELT

person even his friends must admit:
but there is one thing for which he is
teadfast, and that is his great admira-
tion for Roosevelt. He thinks that he
