L. C. Alexander of Waco does not
expect to be nominated for senator
but says he will convince some people
that he is not dead. Very few people
outside his own neighborhood knew
that he was alive before his announcement
That the people of Brazos county
including the farmers are friendly to
the railroads Is evidenced by the fact
that the records of the courts show
no damage suits against the railroads
lor many years except the two com
press cases both of which were won
by the defendant company.
An Inventory of the stock In the
Washington navy yards shows a
shortage of over three and a quarter
millions less than the book records of
the stock. No inventory had been
taken for twenty-five years and It
wouldn't have been done now if our
own congressman Hon. Rufus Hardy
hadn't Introduced an Investigation
resolution which caused the secretary
of the navy to order the inventory to
be taken. Ii is evident that either
there is something rotten in the Wash-
ington navy yard or the methods of
bookkeeping need to be changed. It
is furthermore evident that Congress-
man Hardy has performed a great
service to the country.
The fellow who smashed the straw
hat on the head of a San Antonio
blacksmith because It was out of sea-
son was buried yesterday. It is hoped
thia horrible example will prove a
warning to youngsters who forget to
mind their own business in their
pranks.

III THE T
burn this fall nnd has taken up his
work. Last year he was the greatest
bucker and line plunger in the South.
He ripped up the lines of the big
Southern schools like they were not
there and the cadets of the college
are worried that he might run over1
the big Farmers. On the other hand
it is argued by some that the Texas
Fawners have the greatest line In the
South. Hohn the captain has 'been
shifted from tackle to end; Hooker
has been sent In to take Hohn's place
at tackle; Lambert is at the other
tackle and now since Barnes has re-
turned It is thought that the Farmer
line can handle the famous Streit with
ease.
Manager Tom Bragg of Auburn and
Manager Dan C. Imboden of the Farm-
ers have gotten together on officials
for the Dallas game. Lieut. Ray C.
Hill (West Point) now at Fort Sam
Houston will be referee. He was
once captain of the West Point team.
Bomar (Yale) now at Fort Worth
will be umpire. Rldgway (Auburn)
now at the Texas A. & M. as acting
professor of dairying will be field
Judge and Utay (Texas A. & M.) now
at Dallas will be head linesman. Man
ager Imboden let out a statement to-
day that there will be but twelve side-
line privileges at Dallas. Six will be
allowed each team. All newspaper
men will be provided special seats in
the press box.
The cadets will get one more
chance to see their team at home be
fore the Auburn game. Friday Austin
college will come to Kyle Field and
the Sherman boys are confident they
will put up a good showing. It Ib
thought that the officials for the Fri-
day game will be Snipes (Southwest-
ern) referee;. Frlzzell (Texas Chris-
tian university) umpire; James Sulli
van field Judge and Hamilton of
Texas A. & M. head linesij

When Columbus landed on Guana-

he have looked down the vista of the

' If the strike on the Harriman lines
could be settled as easily and quickly
as the Turco-Italian war It would be
a great blessing to all concerned. But
the strike is the real thing not a
frame-up.

The Texas Republic shouts: "Res-
cue the beautiful San Antonio river!"
The chivalrous editor of the Republic
is always the champion of beauty in
distress. The San Antonio river is al-
most at Its last gasp for lack of
water.
There is a difference of opinion be-
tween John D. Rockefeller and Wood-
row Wilson as to the merits of the
hymn "Beautiful Isle of -Somewhere"
the former approving it and the latter
declaring that it Is "too ambiguous
and nonsensical." But this will hardly
become an Issue in the presidential
campaign.
It looks very much as if that Turco-
Italian war was a frame-up. If the
Turkish government had ceded Tripoli
to Italy without a show of compulsion
it would have caused great Indigna-
tion and perhaps a revolution in Tur-
key. The audience only sees what is
exhibited on the stage and knows
nothing of what is done behind the
curtain.
Columbus sailed on his memorable
voyage of discovery on Friday and
first saw land on Friday. . These facts
ought to be enough to convince any-
one who is not congennitally supersti-
tious that Friday is not an unlucky

tribute tp the Black Mammy monu-
ment fund. It is an expression of pure
and refined sentiment that appeals
strongly to the Southern heart. But
before giving all you can spare to
honor the memory of the dead blacft
mammies first make sure that the
few who are yet living do not suffer
for want of shelter food and clothes.
New York Oct. 11. An ambltiou3
plan to harness the sun and turn the
wheels of the world's industries by
solar power came to naugnt ner
when Elmer E. Burlingame and
George II. Cove promoters of the Sun
Electric Generator Company were
hailed into court to answer to the
charge of using the malls to defraud.
Postofflce Inspectors say that Burl-
Ineame and Cove sold more than $1-
000000 of the stock during the eight-
een months in which it was exploited.
Burlingame has engineered many
stock-selling schemes including the
Radio Telephone Company the Uni-
versal Wireless Corporation and vari-
ous other "radio" and "wireless" con-
cerns In which he is alleged to have
got rid of $5000000 of stock. He be-
gan his career in New York about ten
years ago offering the stock of the
Rocky Mountain Tunnel Company anu
the Gold Dredging Company. He was
modest in those days and proposed
only to dig a tunnel through the
Rockies and discover several gold
mines while doing it. Next came the
"radio" companies. About two years
ago he took up Cove's scheme. Cove
is alleged to be the inventor of the
"sun generator" which looked mucn
like an incubator. One of the ma
chines was set up on the roof of the
Maiden Lane building where the com
pany had it3 offices and proved very
convincing to prosj)ective investors
until a nesky newspaper reporter ;
came along and discovered that the
"generator" was connected by care-
fully concealed wires with the street
rircuit of an electric plant. Whatever
electricity came out of the "generator
came not from the heat of the sun
but from the conduits of the Edison
company.

Everybody knows that neither Col-
onel Ball nor Colonel Wolters would
have been in the senatorial race if
there had been no statewide prohibi
tion campaign. It is therefore a re
flection on the itnelligence of tne
people to attempt to ignore the fact
that prohibition is the issue between
them and excepting a few who are
influenced by personal reasons those
who vote for either will do so mainly
because of his position on statewide
prohibition. Those who are tired of
the prohibition agitation will vote for
either Sheppard or Randell.
