in proceedings palpitate with action. The old
jt AeoaTentton was a mighty host of men who
i( were in reality representative. They did
jot assemble merely to -record something
'- already acted upon but to utilise their brains
and discretion for the welfare of the party
and through the party the welfare of the
I body poliUc.
n' ( There. Is no longer any security of can-
Acieates no weighing of their qualifications
t no Interchange of opinions no acquiring in-
" lormation bearing upon their worth or abll-
Bim lty. At the expense of multiplied thousands
U9the aspirants had already placed their claims
"j1 before the people some informed and mul-
titufles who were not and the verdict had
!? been rendered.
The ferment with respect to platform dec
' f who were successful wclre rather Inclined to
? ' regard their success as indicative of public
1 I approval of their views. So altogether the
platform despite the painstaking care that
its framers bestowed upon it will be re
tarded as the following of a custom rathar
fhait the formulation of a party law.
- The certainty that the majority of the
legislature will come from a faction other
than that which controlled the convention is
calculated to still further diminish the im
portance of the platform.

' . gates brought to Houston with them new
Impresslens with respect to the Terrell elec-
j tlon law. v The testimony is overwhelming
;"that the statute ha been disappointing. It
"Las unquestionably put the ooletdS" upon
the delegates are ascertaining now that it
haa brought with it a train of abuses of far
more kravitr than those which it disolaced.
' : There is a widespread demand for amend-
. ' 'ments and there are' men who believe that
1 an entirely new law will be preferable. The
i : Suggestion of a return to the convention
a system especially in the matter of nominat-
f "'lag State candidates and appellate Judges no
' longer excites the remark that jol!ticians
J an endeavoring to take power from the peo-
' S'ple-
X 'k There is a more distinct feeling now than
i . there has been for .some years that the plat-
' form ought to be invested with more of its
oldtime dlgnitythan it retains under the new
system that well informed representatives
might select candidates for Judicial and
State offices with greater intelligence and a
more earnest regard for the public welfare.
.. There are men now who feel that the
'. democratic party or any other party for that
..matter ought not to have its operations so
restricted by statute. That safeguarding
' party machinery against corrupt practices
? and" permitting an organisation the right of
'responsibility and Initiative would measure
; the .proper operation of a statute is a belief
that will grow stronger ff the expressions
' J..ot many of the delegates are indicative of
is J the trend of party thought
And the desirability of having party ac-
? tion directed by party members and not by
the general body of the people regardless
'of political differences may yet -receive
V' earnest consideration.
1 So looking the proceedings of the con-
i vention over it "Is plain enough that It had
y .little of consequence to do and that demo-
irats' must look to the legislature rather
' than to conventions for an expression of
' Vparty purpose until such time' as a new elec-
tion Jaw restores some of the power of the
! convention sjuI re-establishes Its represeata-
live capacity upon lines that will exact pub-
file reverence and respect

The members of the Farmer TJBloa. who
ar gathered in Houston do but echo .the
insistent demand of th tillers ol ! the 'soil
all over the United States when "they ask
th government to famish them with a; bet-
ter marketing syateml 0 ' ' ?;
During the past ten years there has been
more legislation passed tor the aid of .the
farmer' than was passed In the subsequent
fifty years H haa. received th attention
of .th lawmakers to the sxdusloa of other
classes of our dtlxens who are of the opin-
ion that they too' have need of special legis-
lation. ' .
But 'with ali that has been done the
American farmer has not yet been given th
advantages that are accorded other workers
to the end that they may carry on business
intelligently and profitably. '
Agriculture Is recognised as the basic
source of all our wealth yet th men who
carry on this part of th world's business
do so in direct contest with so great an ele-
ment of chance. In contest with so much
duplicity on th part of the people who buy
their products and in contest with so change-
able and unknowable weather conditions
that it is wonderful that they are able to
maintain themselves and their families even
in the way that they do.
The next legislature will number among
its members a good number of man who are
familiar with all th problems of the Texas
farmer. Some of them are practical and
successful tillers or the soiL 'Som of them
are merchants who have been face to face
with actual conditions in the fields of Texas
for many years. Some of them ar news:'
paper men who In order to tn success in
that work have been obliged to familiarise
themselves withWbor in all its forms both
in Texas and elsewhere.
These men .realise th need of Texas farm-
ers for a better marketing system. They an
going to devote a large part of their time
during th next two years to the building of
such a system. They -will need and they
will be entitled to the help and the advice
of men whose interests are theirs. When
they shall have formulated ways and means
whereby the Stat may be of aid to th
farmers the plan adopted should be given
fair and full trial without prejudgment as to
its worth. Only In that way will a workable
marketing system be established.
THE CHEMIST ASD THE SOUTH.
Never before in the history of the world
have the chemical possibilities of the world
and of every part of it received th atten-
tion they have within the past two years.
It is possible that Germany and her quick
and efficient marshalling of all her resources
has done as much as anything else to awaken
us to the value of the resources which Na-
ture has placed at our disposal Never be-
fore has any people been able to bring to
their assistance all the powers of intellect
and of science and all the resources of earth
and of water and of air as that people has
during the two years of this war. We have
learned of the Germans as even their ene
mies hsve learned.
And we of th South needed this lesson.
We still need this lesson. It will take more
than any two years of tutelage to Impress it
upon our minds aa It must be Impressed be-
fore we gain from It all. the good that It
holds for us.
a For the South Is richer in natural re-
sources than any other part of the world.
And Texas is the richest part of the South.
Our natural resources have never been
touched. The dust Upon the surface has
scarcely felt the breath of man. There ar
hidden in the earth of this 8tate possibili
ties undreamed of.
It will be the brain of the chemist
the hand of tne scientist that .bring

man is not going to discover this y
that Nature has hid In the depth Mother
Earth. It will be his part to de(Vej0p

Houston will have a grand opera season that
will be seqond to that of so' city in the country
excepting only New York and Chicago. These
two cities may be granted a large somber of per-
formances They will hear 0 greater artists or
more perfect renditions. For these sssuraneet
Houston people have to thadk tha Houston
Symphony Orchestra sssocwtlosu the Treble Clef
club sod the Woman's Choral ehthy These three
organitations will stand responsible for the worth
of the performances and f or the money value of
the audiences which shall be attracted to them.
The organisation which-will b brought here is
the Boston National Grand Opera company and
the operas they will present are chosen from a
list upon which many works appear that are un-
familiar to the Houston public It will be s
double pleasure to hear this anisic gives as this
organisation will render it The Pbst bespeaks
far the tgi season of grand .opera In Houston
the support of the people' of the dry in no small
degree. If we are to judge by th past Houston
will give the Boston-National Opera company
better audiences and more musician b attention
than those artists will receive in many larger
cities. ' .2' ".'-
It is well for the florists of America who will
come here soon for their annual convention -.to
see growing in our municipal gardens the flowers
of their home country. It Will seem to' them s
pretty compliment to have their. Own blossoms
smiling at them in this Southern clime. But our
florists must sot forget that Texas has flowers
which are worthy to be placed beside the moat
beautiful from any country in the world. And
Texas plants and blooms should sot be: neglected
in preparing gardens for these flower fanciers of
the United States. South Carolina was the orig-
inal home of the poinsettia yet California was al-
lowed to adopt it and every year the State of its
adoption gets more and mors advertising from this
popular and lovely flower. Texas will if her
florists do not awake to the value of the State's
flowers lose them to other parts of the' world
and bur florists will see those of other States
reaping the rewards from their cultivation.
"Mr. Jesse has taken hundreds of bad boys and
made gentlemen of them." We are told that this
is the kind of argument that was used to get
votes for the newsboys' candidate for constable
in the recent primary." With such campaign argu-
ments it is no wonder that Jesse Urban was
elected. The man who can take hundreds of bad
boys and make gentlemen of them is the man' who
should be placed as constable and as sheriff and
as policeman by the people. He is the man who
is doing the community a vast and inestimable
good and in these -offices his power for
