an Institute made possible by Mr.
Carnegie's "generosity" Mr Carne-
gie made a spemh In which he said:
'I hive tried (o make. myself realize
that I have anything to do with It
and have failed. It Is true
that I gave some pieces of paper but
they do not represent anything In
my mind because I did not part with
anvthtn thit f run unitamland.
a -
I said to Mrs. Carnegie Jut night:
'It is like the palace raised in the
night by the genii who obeyed Alad-
din.' She replied: 'Yes and you did
not even Lave to rub the lamp.' '
"No Mr. Carnegie did not even
have to rub the lamp. The American
people not only provided the lamp
but they rubbed It and summoned
the genii which worked Industriously
night and day to tako from tho pro-
viders and rubbers of the In nip their
hard earned money and aftor taking
this money from them turned It over
to Mr. Ojrnegla. Tho name of this
lump Is 'protective tariff.' Dut what
name shall be given to the people
who provided this magic lamp and
then rubbed it for Mr. Carnegie's
benefit?
"There la a series of 'comic' pic
tures running in a number of dally
papers that lllustrute the trials of a
gentleman Who Is always being bu:
coed by artful strungora. He U
named 'Mr. E. Z. Mark.' Would
that not bo a good on mo to glvo to
tho voters of America who have
sweat and tolled to provldo Mr. Cnr-
negln with 'magic lamp' and after
having provided it work overtime to
rub it and pour treasuro into the
pockets of the gentleman who admit
that he 'doesn't even have to rub
tli lamp?'
"Some of these diy the voters of
America will destroy Mr. Carnegl's
' limbic lump' and proceed to'mnk'e
ono that will when rubbed pour
treasures Into the pockets of th
maker and rubbers."

aid Mrs. F. P. Powell to the editor
the other day when she stopped at

she was talking to the author of

added: "I read with groat pleasure

SMALL POX SITUATION.
ji nas neen known for many
months and In fact all winter that
In utmost every town In this section
of Texas whero the Mexican railroad
laborers and flontlng population was
very numerous that there has been
more or less small pox in existence
many' of our exchanges have
commented on tbo conditions In their
cities or towns from time to time.
Amarlllo has a large floating pop-
ulation and with the tide of Immi-
gration flowing this way it would
be almost a miracle for the city to
escape without some cases of small
pox. This miracle has not occurred
In Amarlllo and there bas been
some Isolated cases in the city in the
pest houiie almost all the time dur
ing the winter.
By some lax enforcement of prop-
er precaitlona and as we are In-
clined to believe largely from lack
of publicity regarding the cases ex-
isting here the disease has spread
until several cases are now in quar-
antine In different portions of the
city. It Is not known Just how the
Bpread of tho disease was accomplish-
ed whether brought here from other
towns or' spread from the cases here
but it has spread until a vigorous
quarantine has been instituted by
the health officer.
Wednesday noon when it was an
nounced that a young lady
who had room and board et the
Neal boarding houae 709 Polk street
and who bad been confined to her
room with what was thought to be
the grip for about a week had de-
veloped n" case of small pox ' there
was considerable excitement and the
house wr9 quarantined at noon by
the- health officer. None of the ta-
ble boarders had been exposed to the
rase and it Is hardly thought there
I will be any spread of the disease
' from thla case as most rigid quaran
tine measures hnve been enforced by
the health officer. '
The city council met and the may-
or has issued a drastic quarantlno
proclamation and everything la be-
ing done to guard the known cases
end prevent the spread of the dis-
ease. The health officer informs the
Panhandlo that there are not over
twenty cases In the city in tt r.t
house and Jn private houses whjre
! suspects and others are quarantined
and It is thought that as warm weath-
er muBt open up soon the spread
of the disease will be effectually
checked. .
The Panhandlo alwaya favors pub
licity in Hurh In order to
counteract exuggeruted report and
to put the publlo on guard against
Inuocently being exposed. f The edi-
tor of the Pauhandlo must acknowl-
edge that ho did not know there was
a cmmo in the city till within the past
few weeks and us It was thought It
would soon be stamped out no men-
tion was made of the fact. That this
was an error he Is now convinced (
and for thla reason the honest condi-
tion of tho disease In the city Is here
given and may be relied on In place
of the exaggerated reports h;urd on
the streets
There Is no cause for alarm. The
schools have been dlumiw-od. Tho
mayor will forbid publlo gatherings
and Indlvldiir-lR should uho every pre-
caution In reason to avoid being ex-
portcd r.d should rrriort at once
every known violation of tho quar
antine and mayor's proclamation to
tho proper officer
Thero are also differences between
phyHleluiiH as to vaccination but
through nuny yoars of experience la
public biiHlnenB and observation the
Panhandle advises all persons who
have not been vaccinated in recent
yours und have a good scar to be
vaccinated by a reputable physh'lun
who has freHh points.
No person Hhould knowingly ex-
pose themselves to tho disease and
no partieH who have the dlseaHe or
whohave been exposed in such a man-
ner that they may give It should be
guilty of exposing their neighbors or
t;ie general public. Such nn act
would be crlmlnnl and should be
severely condemned and punished If
it were possible under the law. No
person with a proper regnrd for their
follow inen will lie guilty of know-
ingly exposing their fellow's ;to the
disease. '
It Is said that some of the physi
cians of the city have been most lax
with cases thoy knew to be small
pox and have criminally allowed tho
disease to spre.id. The editor of thq
Panhandle duos not know of tha
truth of any such statements and
hopes they are not corroct. Any rihyf
slclan who has a case suspected ofrUirfc jiftt then Tom Bobbins entered
being small pox and does not reprt t y
it to the propor authorities and hav
It properly quarantined Is guilty of
a criminal offense and deserves-!
severest censure and punlBhmentfit
the limit; of'the law. r
i
The health officer and city au
thorities are In earnent and should
be sustained In their enforcement' of
a rigid quarantine as that is the only
means of effectually stamping out
the dlsean and stopping its Bpread
In the mean time there Is no cauBo
for alarm to disturb the ordinary
course of business. Common sense
and reason.'and good Judgment are
necessary as well as. proper quaran-
tine and It should be exercised by
every citizen as well as the health
officers and with such a course the
disease will Soon be stamped out.
Tffere are not a great number of
oases In the city connlderlng Its alze
and with warm weather and proper
precautions there need not be any
In a short time. Let the officers
know no friend or enemy In the en
forcement of quarantine regulations.
Let the rich and the poor thooe
high In society and lower In the so
cial scale fare the same In the en
forcement of tho quarantine and
there will be no cause for complaint.
The Dally Pnnhandle shall keep its
readers .fully posted on the honest
condlton of the disease In future Is-
sues till tbe lust case is stamped
iii whlcb wo feel will be in a short
time.

Tho following caustic remarks con
cerning Kx-Presldent Cleveland are
from Bryan's Commoner:
'Former President Cleveland Is
just:. now engaged in. a work which
is not likely to add to either his
laurels or his reputation. As coun
sel for the life insurance presidents
he has submitted a brief In relation
to the power of states to take salaries
paid to life insurance officials ftito
consideration in 'laws regulating in
surance. As this brier la intended
tor use In opposing state legislation
puU the cx-prerldent in a class
with the lobbyists a rather undigni
fied position for one of his standing.
But a he Is the custodian of bis
own reputation lesa exception can
be taken to his employment than to
the legal opinion which he fla plven.
He denies the right of the state to
put a llmit 'oa salaries paid to offi-
cials by companies doing business
within Its borders. The objection
which he re 'fob -roes to the very root
of th question of control. If the
states are powerless to protect poli-
cy holders' from losses sustained
through 'extravagant salai'e3 of
what value is sUte authority. Tl.e
ey-presldcnt bases his opinion on the
theory that no line can be drawn
between the natural person and tlie
eorponitlon. While u It tr.jo thnt
some of tho cojtis have confum-J
this line It In. 1'evcrilniepK u very
clear and dUtlnct lino. Tho niitural
person ha natural and Inalienable
rights whllo the corporation has on-
ly those rights which are conferred
upon It by law. Man was created
to carry out a Divine decree the cor
poration was created aa a money
making institution. It-is only (air
that tho natural persons In one state
shall stand upon an equal footing
with the natural persons of another
alatet but theie Is neither reason
nor lo;;lc in the position thst a state
can create corporate giant and then
without properly controlling them
demand that they be given all tho
nxhts und Immunities of natural per

CONFKllHED-UY LAW.
"The w hole object of an Incorpora
tion law is to grant to the corpora
tlon certain rights and privileges
v.iilch the Indlvldiril does not onjoy;
If the corporation Is to have these
und then have all the rights and Im
munities of the natural person tho
man-inado corporation will be placed
on a higher plane than tho Clod-made
man. If the Insurance companies be-
gin a systematic cruaade against state
control they will develop a scnll

as tho railroad managers by resist

"I want to Interrupt you long
enough to congratulate you on that
editorial of yours on tho small pox
situation" said Rev. Bennett Thatch
er to the editor this morning as ho
dropped into the office. "Cure and
dUt'retlon a rigid quarantine and
full and honcBt publicity Is what I
believe In In such cant's and what Is
needed. Let tho public know exactly
what is going on is my theory."
The editor assured him that was the
policy on which he had always con
ducted a newspaper and he was only
sorry he did not know of the first
existence of small pox In the city and
give the honest condition with each
Individual case whe.re located etc.

MR. HJBAIWT'8 NEW PARTY.
Attention lm already been called
to .Mr. Hearst's New York speech on
the evening of April 13 In which he
expres.ind his dlnsatlnfartlon with ex-
lifting parties mid his determination
tc organize a new party through tho
instrumentality of the Independence
league. That Mr. Hearst means well
will be admitted but there will be
difference of opinion aa to the wis
dom of his action. In Joining a party
man naturally1 asks two questions:
First what does the party stand for?
And second whnt chance has the
party of accomplishing; Its purpose?
The second question Is scarcely less
important than the first 'for unless
pari has a prospect of putting its
principles! into law it drives In vain
and because it r'rlves in vain It docB
not appeal to the people.
Of coune-jr-party may do educa
tional work without dominating tho
government aiid all. p irtles however
small -do educational work but the
great majority of the voters prefer to
sto results rut her thru to do pioneer
work. Mr. Henrst complrlns that the
Democratic . pai'ty lis 'not lurnionlous
- that Is true. But unfortunately
thero is no chance of securing abso-
lute harmony in any party of p.ny
size. If a party has a3 many ns two
members the cbnArvatlve and radi-
cal e'.Tinc'ut yIIl upifar. Flvo i v hjro
nil agree In principles there will be '
1 fference3 of opinion as to methods
rrd such differences" cusa almost a
much trouble as differences In prin-
ciple. The Republican party seemed
to' be a united party when It ramo
into power In 1861 and yet before
Mncoln bt.i beenj.n office thrno yenrs so-I.-itea invoke the name of tho In-
tho ..ivdlcal element of Che party j dependence K-Bgua. 'Cammcacr.
Templing Appetizing
ere made with
a2
tnought him too conservative! and
bufore eight years elapsed a Repub-
ltcau congress tried to Impeach a
Republican president.
The Independence league must
grow In order to exert a great Influ-
ence and It cannot draw to Itself any
considerable number of thinking men
without becoming a debating society.
Whether the new party is really
needed is a matter which time alone
can decide. Mr. Hearst has a largo
personal following and his papers ex-
ert a marked Influence. He has left
the Democratic party becauso he haj
lost faith ln its power to secure re-
forms and tho Independence league
will offer a political home to those
who despair of relief through either
the Democratic or Republican par-
ties but It cannot hope to attract
thoe Democrats who still believe
that the Democratic party can be
made an effective instrument 1n the
hands of the people for tho securing
of remedial legislation; neither can
it expect to attract reform Republi-
cans unless those Republicans believe
that the Independence league can
bring reform sooner than the Demo-
crats can.
The Commoner has faith In tho
Democratic party not In its Infali-
billty or In its freedom from mis-
takes but in the patriotic purpose of
tho rank and file of the party and
in the prospect of an early victory for
that party. The Democratic party-
has made mistakes what party has
not? but today it stands for positive
and progressive Democracy and in
1908 Its platform Its candidates and
i.t8 organization will be such as to
appeal tothe conscience and Judg-
ment of tho reform ekmient of the
country. If tho Democratic party Js-
nores Its greatest opportunity ind
disnppclnta loyal Democrats the In-
d"pendencc league will grow rapidly
but f the Democracy does' whnt It
night to do und the Commoner be-
lieves that it will the members of
the Independence league arc likely
to be found supporting the Democrat-
ic ticket Just us the members' of the
Populist party' supported the D?mo-ca.-tic
ticket in 1S9C and 1900.
In the meantime Democratic pi-
pers should treat Mr. Hears; aitd tho
new party as aa ally ruthe-tan as

direction even Jhourch we march un-
der tllfferert banners and there
