FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6 190S.
. TO MOVE FARMERS
UNION HEADQUARTERS.
That there is a movement on foot to
aaove the Farmers Union National
headajiarters from Texas to New Or-
leans aad that the New Orleans meet-
ing next week will probably act on
that Movement does not admit of any
doubt. There is a great plan of a
monster warehouse to be erected at
New Orleans at which it is proposed
to concentrate cotton. In a letter
given to the press of the South from
New Orleans urging a large attend-
ance upon the New Orleans meeting
and promising on the part of the pro-
gressive Union of that city a good
time for all who attend the following
significant statements are taken:
fT"l 1.1 I 1 1 . - 11 .1
Jiiu pruuiems iuciueni in me ue
velopment of an Improved market for
raw cotton will receive first attention
at the National Farmers' Union Con-
Tentlon whichis to be held in New
Orleans Nov. 11-12 along with the
proposal to move the headquarters of
the Union to New Orleans. Some pro-
gress in this direction has already
been made but the interior warehouses
and selling agencies have found that
they are seriously handicapped be
because they lack port warehouses and
port selling facilities hence the im
portance of this subject during the
New Orleans meeting.
"President C. S. Barrett has had
these matters under serious considera-
tion for some time and has expressed
much interest in the plan for the con-
struction of a monster storage and
export warehouse in this city which
has been proposed by a prominent cot-
ton merchant and planter. This plan
provides for maximum efficiency and
minimum cost incident to the receiv-
ing of cotton from the trains and
steamboats its sampling marking and
storage and when sold maximum
promptness in delivering the cotton to
the exporter on board the ship along
side the warehouse. The plan contem
plates economies by reason of ma
chinery equipment for handling and
ire-proof construction that will save
the .producer hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually on fire Insurance
probably a million or two a year on
interest charges a large amount on
he elimination of country damage
while at the same time 'the value of

each and every bale will be increased
one or two dollars because it can be
delivered to the ship on half an hour's
notice and because the spinner can
buy it on the spot and by sample in-
stead of description as is now gen-
erally the case.
"The warehouse receipt issued by
such an institution would be nego
tiable at any bank in Europe or
America and in that way millions of
dollars in loans could easily be ob-
tained at 4 and 5 per cent interest.
'It has been calculated that $5000-
000 will cover the cost of constructing
such a warehouse and that on the sav-.
ings to the producer the warehouse
would more than pay for itself in two
years.
"By selling bonds this sum could be
raised and the bonds paid oft out of
the legitimate earnings of the warehouse."
HE HELPS TEXAS GROW.
Col. T. J. Anderson the general pas-
senger agent of the Southern Pacific
railroad doesn't spend his time talk
ing about what he has to fear from
Texas legislation for he knows that
Texas legislation but stands for the
sentiment .of Texas people and that
Texas people- believe in equal rights
to all and special privileges to none.
Instead he. has been busying himself in
making a great exhibit ot Texas re-
sources at the great 'New England food
fair. :The Boston Evening Record in
a recent issue says:
"The visitor to the New England
food fair in Mechanics building who
visits the superb exhibit made by the
state of Texas under the auspices of
the Sunset-Central lines and sent dl
rect to Boston under Instructions of
Col T. J. Anderson will have all of
his false impressions concerning the
Lone Star State at once removed. Be
cause of this admirably arranged and
comprehensive exhibit a vast num
ber of people will for the first time
have become acquainted with the ac-
tual conditions as they exist in that
state today Its wonderful possibilities
and the many favorable opportunities
It hresents to homeseekers and In
- -
vestors"
If we could only induce all the peo
pie of Texas to turn their attention to
telling of the good things to be found
in Texas and the opportunities pre
8ented here the state would at once
take on a wonderful growth. But
unfortunately for the state the organ!
zatlon supported by the people to do
this Is giving all its attention through
the press to telling people why they
should not locate in Texas. It Is hard
to offset such an Influence and dls
couraglng to attempt it.
Weatherford is wrangling with its
civic improvement club. The club
wishes to extend the court house yard
and make a park of it while the busi-
ness men of the public square wish to
continue to use that property for a
wagon yard and sale yard and a hitch-
ing place for stock. The outcome of
the difference is being watched with
much interest
Senator Culberson has given his en
tire time this summer to the cam
paign and in addition to that made a
liberal donation to the party and hur
ried home to vote the Democratic
ticket. This Ib In such marked con
trast with the action of some other
Texas politicians that it naturally
cause's some comment. Culberson Is
indeed the right kind of a man.
Where Is ' that man who dreamed
that TexaB would elect a republican
The Dallas Thnes-IIor.ald can again
proceed to "Help lift Dallas out of
the mud."
- A great deal more good can be done
Texas by boosting the state than by
knocking it. Help Texas grow.
Kissing is to be prohibited in the
Union depot at Fort Worth. That
town is getting mighty independent
If the order -Is enforced the people
will go over to Dallas to say "goodbye.'-'
After all Mayor Ginnuth did not re-
sign at Temple. It was very wrong
for him to disappoint so many am-
bitious men.
Simpson's vote was disappointing to
his party and his closest friends. The
.tactics of State Chairman Cecil Lyon
in offering the press of the state po-
litical advertising with the conditions
attached to it that there should be no
adverse criticism of Simpson is said
to have lost the state ticket niany
votes.

Special MentionStaite Claims Its '
Team Was Loafing.
Special to Daily Bulletin. I and handling the ball well on the for-
Austin Texas Nov. 5. In what I ward pass. Snipes at half made sub-
Texas had thought would be a good
practice game Southwestern Universi-
ty of Georgetown defeated the Univer-
sity by a .score of 11 to 9. Texas it
is claimed played an unpardonable
poor game of ball. All of the regular
players with the exception of Dun-
can were in the game and they simply
loafed awakening too late to the fact
that they were about to be beaten.
Southwestern was outweighed by
the Texas team but the visitors simply
outplayed them. Georgetown resorted
to the forward pass mostly doing lit-
tle line work. The passes were many
and well worked. The men were on
the ball quickly and seemed to dumb
found the Texas players.
Fifty Yards to Tonchdonn.
The feature of the game was a fifty-
yard run for a touchdown on a forward i
stantial gains and Headrick at tackle
was a hard man to go through.
These men are coached by Arbuckle
of Illinois and as six are in their first
year they made a remarkable show-
ing. The Texans could not claim that
they had a star player this time. Feld-
hake played well at tackle but re-.
ceived little support Estill made one
or two good tackles and gains but ha
did not do anything marvelous. Neece
deserves credit for kicking a field goat
for Texas but he did not hit the line
at all and was thrown for loss several
times. Walker and the Leonard boys
played a fair game and so did Wolf.
Jones was good on the defense and
Slaughter made one or two substan-
tial gains. Yet they were far from
stars. The man who showed up the
pass by Henry of Southwestern when j best was CuIIom who went In the last
the Texas men were loafing around j ffvp minutes of play and did well on
thinking that the ball had not been
touched. Henry was the star of this
team as he made many clever tackles
and both of the touchdowns for the
Southwestern University boys.
Chaprtian at quarter played a good
game too making several long runs
the defense and on ground gaining.
Texas played its best for the ball at
the last and the Varsity had carried
the ball down to the Southwestern
five-yard line on straight football and
was going over for a touchdown when
time was called.
After the agony of the election re-
turns the Austin Statesman has gone
in for the cultivation of alfalfa and
the consumption of pumpkin pies with
a greater rest than ever.
There is no need to wail about the
result of the election. It Is up to you
to do your part towards good gov-
ernment national state and municipal
and let the results be what they may.
Paddock was defeated for the nomi-
nation for mayor of Fort Worth but
those Fort Worth people know a good
thing when they have It;they couldn't
give Paddock up .as secretary of the
commercial club. In that capacity he
Is "the best ever."
Both Abilene and San Angelo have
