York. That’s undoubtedly the reason why New
York is a business town. ,
The loudest-mouthed economist in a commun-

Belgium heretofore has been recognized as

past six months.
The armies of Europe are waiting for the mud

Wonder how many of the boys in the trenches are
praying for sunshine?
Francisco Ferrer has started a school of an-
archy in New York. The reason he did not start
it in Mexico is that a school would be out of place
where everybody ie a graduate of the profession.

Mary had a piece of gum. She chewed it loud
and slow, and everywhere that Mary went the
gum was sure to go. It followed her to school
one day, which was against the rule. The teacher
took it from her then, and chewed it after school.
_ In New Jersey a man has been sent to an in-
sane asylum because he thought his head was a
wooden block. Had his head been in reality of a
wooden nature and he insisted it was filled with
great knowledge and wisdom, the fellow might
have gone to Congress.
The Russians missed that Christmas dinner in
Berlin, and in all probability the allies will not be
able to attend church in Constantinople on Easter
Sunday, as they had announced. In fact it is be
ginning to look as if the allies had about rubbed
Constantinople off their visiting list.
Uncle Sam recentiv launched the largest bat-
tleship in the world, and now he has let the con-
tract for the largest submarine. So if anybody
has the idea that our country is not up-to-date, he
had better adjust his thinker. Like the lady of
refined taste, what we have we want of the best.
The interesting news comes from New York
that the Francisco Ferrer School of Anarchists
has arranged to buy a farm for the work of its
propaganda. In explaining the innovation, one
of the promoters said: "Our main object in es-
tablishing this colony is to produce genuine anar-
chists, and we must rear our children in an anar-
chistic atmosphere.” This seems to be a pleas-
ant little arrangement in the interests of universal
crime; but why is it necessary? The cult of
anarchy is now so widespread in this country that
nobody has to go to an avowed anarchist colony
to get the “atmosphere” of violence, injustice and
lawlessness. Of course, there may be a difference
between ordinary traitors who betray their coun-
try in legislatures and those who use bombs and
the torch, but the principle is essentially the
same.
This is the first time that the public as a whole
has been informed that any sort of "school” of
anarchy exists in this country. It never has been
the general opinion that the ungentle art of bomb-
making and neck-slitting 'required class rooms and
lecture forums for its elucidation. Perhaps there
is a species of refined anarchy, a kind of super-
brutality that may not be practiced by the mere
novice who has only the hate in his heart and his
two strong hands to express his primitive lust for
dealing death to others. Life in an -anarchist col-
ony ought to be devoid of all the dull monotony
of existence elsewhere. Where there is hatred of
law, disregard of all conventions, freedom of
passions and a broad commonality of evil, it is
rather hard to reconcile tender solicitude for in-
nocent children who are brought together to be
made into “genuine" anarchists.
It seems odd that any anarchists should ex-
perience difficulty in finding the right sort of "at-
mosphere” for the propagation of their scheme of
negation. Never has there been so much anarchy
rampant in this country as now. Many of the
large cities have newspapers that are industriously
preaching anarchy day after day. Some of these
papers are not honest enough to make full con-
fession of their purpose, but that cannot conceal
it. There are anarchists of more or less ability
in dozens of legislatures and even in congress it-
self. That they do not throw bombs is no evi-
dence of their lack of power for evil. They exert
their influence in other but quite as harmless
ways. But the country is coming to its senses
and there will be less toleration of the manifesta-
tion of this spirit in the future. For in spite of
the visible signs of anarchy on all sides, the peo-
ple of the United States are committed to law and
decent society. If the New York anarchists feel
that they have not had a fair chance to practice
theif arts, they ought to move their school to
Mexico. There is plenty of "atmosphere” there,
and also plenty of anarchy.—Kansas City Journal.

A unique phaae of the “damage suit industry,"
which has worked great injury to the railroada of
the South, was recently uncovered by the Mor-
gan’s Louisiana & Texas (Southern Pacific) in
Louisiana; and the damage suit lawyers, ambu-
lance chasers and jury fixers for once got a les-
son. The case was tried in the Federal Court at
New Orleans____.
William Hoke, a negro of Birmingham, Ala.,
hoarded a midnight train out of New Orleana for
Morgan City, La. Apparently he was alone, but
he had an accomplice; one Reynolds, who was aft-
erward used as his principal witness. Hoke slip-
ped on the proverbial banana peel in the aisle of
the colored coach, and the crash of his fall was
immediately followed by groans of agony. Med-
ical examination showed dislocation of the hip
and subsequent history of the case marked a con-
tinuation of the injury and a permanent shortening
of the limb by some three inches. The unlawful - .. .. .... . .

Ordinarily March is the dryest
month of the year. If thia should
hold good during the year 1915, we
are sure to have an abundant har-

Demonstration Sa
We are demonstrating that we are selling the best merchandise that
can be had at prices never heard of before. Our Ladies Ready-to-
Wear department has proven the greatest attraction in the store.
By no means did the men forget Hart Schaffner & Marx suits at $15,
and we are selling these suits at this low price until Saturday night
only. The dry goods department has been well taken advantage of,
as we are now out of the bleaching at 15 yards for $1, having sold
out yesterday morning. We still have many of the other bargains
advertised as you will see below, which gives you only a part of the
bargains that we have for you. ;
A "BUSINESS” LEGISLATURE.
It will be remembered that the voters of Texas
in last year's election refused to assent to an in-
crease in the pay of our representatives. The
measly $500 or so which legislators receive for
attendance upon a session barely meets their
necessary expenses, to say nothing of the time
they are out and the loss they will naturally suffer
in their own business, if they have any.
Therefore we say the last legislature was a
"business" session. The representatives met,
transacted as much business as possible in the
given time, and adjourned. In other words they
gave the state all it paid for: nothing more, noth-
ing less. Purely a business proposition. -
There seems to be some complaining and
fault-finding over the state because the legisla-
ture failed to act on this or that measure. And
some of the editors of the newspapers of the
state point out (with good reason in many in-
stances) where the legislators might have bene-
fitted Texas by passing more bille if they had ex-
tended the time of the session by an extra week
or ten days.
But why should these men make personal sac-
rifices in order to benefit the rest of us? Why
should they be asked, and who has the "gall" to
ask them, to stay in Austin beyond the time for
which Texas voters refuse to pay them?
The representatives are to be congratulated
him as a most extraordinary negro.
But certain phases of the case had aroused the
suspicions of the claim agent, and he collected
evidence that Hoke was a professional in his line,
and had victimized some eighteen railroads and
accident insurance companies in the last few
years, sometimes using a most remarkable and
freakish ability to throw his right hip from its
socket and thereby create a shortening of the
limb, a condition not easil detected and deceptive
even to those of the medical profession who ex-
amined him. Hoke on being confronted by seven
or eight claim agents of companies with which
he had previously conducted similar negotiations,
finally admitted having received various sums of
money from them, in compromise. By the care-
ful work of the claim agent these witnesses were
produced unexpectedly and without the issuance
of a subpena
Reynolds, Hokes companion, had operated
with him on several of his "accidents," in this
particular case being personally responsible for
the location of the banana peel in the aisle,and,
of course, the only eyewitness to the fall.
Following the entering of mistrial, the facts
were reported to the United States Department of
Justice, who caused Hoke's arrest. He was indict-
ed on a charge of perjury Jan. 22, and after trial
was sentenced March 6 to eighteen months' im-
prisonment at Atlanta.—Railway Age-Gazette.
a period of 23 years, previous to
this year, has been but slightly more
than one-half inch. Next to March,
anuary, then December and Feb-
ruary in the order named, are the
dryest months in the year. We are
just now passing out of the four
months period that is supposed to
be the dryest portion of the year.
But the Panhandle is again in ex-
eellent shape, as it was at the same
time last year, and our people are
optimistic. The amount of precipi-
tation for the present month has al-
ready reached .76 of an inch.

THE "BUY IT NOW FOOLISHNESS.
Everybody has heard of the merchant who
placed "Do It Now" signs all over his establish-
ment and found next morning that his advice had
been taken. His cashier left between two days
wit hall the cash, his stenographer eloped with his
bookkeeper and various other, lees serious, mis-
haps occurred. The people of the East have
launched another "Now" slogan which seemingly
has no concealed weapons on its person. It is
the "Buy It Now" and relates to purchasing ev-
erything that may be needed during the next
month or two, right now, so as to inspire the
merchants with confidence. No doubt the move-
ment is good and can be carried out successfully,
though if everything is bought now there will be
sure to be dull times for the merchants in a month
or two when the needs are all supplied. The war
has created lots of foolish fads and notions.-

GAVE UP HOPE
JOSEPH J. HOLZER HAD BEEN
A GREAT SUFFERER FROM
STOMACH TROUBLE
Following is a statement selected
from a mass’ of written testimonials
from local people, testifying to the
merits of Plant Juice, now being in-
troduced here, of Mr. Joseph J. Hol-
xer, who resides at No. 16 Amanda
Street, South Aide, Pittsburg. Mr.
Holzer is a popular conductor on
the Pittsburg street railway and
whose veracity Is absolutely unques-
tioned. He said:
"For over a year and a half my-
nelf and wife suffered from stom-
ach trouble. My food fermented,
causing gas on, my stomach which
pressed on my heart, causing palpi-
tation. I was always constipated
and nervous and all run down. My
wife also suffered greatly and could
not sleep nights. I heard of this
medicine, Plant Juice, and decided
to give it a trial, though 1 was very
skeptical, as nothing we had pre-
viously taken did us any good. I
purchased a bottle and am certainly
glad | did. I noticed Immediate Im-
provement and now, after only tak-
ing a short treatment, I am a well
man entirely cured. My wife has
also entirely recovered her health
and we want to recommend Plant
Juice to any sufferer of stomach
trouble.”.
