"Poultry "Raisers
and Gardners
it 's time you were looking’after your fences.
We want you to see our
“Electric Weld” Poultry Fence
It is made of extra heavy wires and still the meshes arc dose
enough to make the fence perfectly chicken-proof- and strong
enough for stock.
It requires no top rail nor base board— stretches perfectly
over uneven ground and, if perfectly stretched, will not “sag"
and get out of shape.
Uest of all, tliis fence costa no more (when you count the
' * cost of top and bottom rails required with the ordinary kinds) than
tlie lightest and cheapest netting.
Gome in and see for yourself.

tariff issues. The invitation was
wired Mr. Bailey at Washington.

fixing July 22 as tlie date for vot-
ing on same: also providing for a
session of the legislature on tlie
second Tuesday of next January to
make tlie amendment effective in
event of its adoption.
The committee favorvably re-
ported the house concurrent, resolu-
tion memorializing congress to sub-
mit a constitution amendment pro-
viding for the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people.
For a few- moments tlie commit-
tee considered tlio joint resolution
by Senator Paulus offering a consti-
tutional amendment providing that
occupation tax shall remain in the
counties where (fleeted. This would
mean that the "'heavy saloon tax
would re|uain iii tlie wet counties
where collected and not he divided
with the dry counties. While no ac-
tion was taken on tlie resolution be-
cause of tlie absence of Senator
Paulus, tlie pros manifested opposi-

FOR CONTROL
BT STATES
RAII.IiOVD COMMISSION Kit WIL-
LIAMS OK TEXAS AT
CHICAGO.
HE TELLS OF THE TEXAS PLAN
He Expressed tile Kirin Conviction
That tlie States Should Retain
Full Authority to Regulate Rail-
roads as Local Necessity Demands.
Chicago, 111. , Jau. 28.- Texas
raised its voice in protest against
"federal “interference” at the con-
cluding session in Chicago of Presi-
dent Taft's commission on railroad
securities.
The Lone Star state, so its spokes-
man indicated, feels better equip-
ped to deal with its ow'n railroad
problems than the national govern-
ment and is willing to give approval
to federal supervision only in so far
as it requires the fullest possible
publicity of all railroad affairs in
the country.
At tlie close of yesterday’s fore-
noon hearing Chairman Arthur T.
Hadley and his rellow-eonimission-
ers, Walter Leivisher, F. N. Judson.
Frederick Strauss, R II Meyer and
W. E. Griswold went into executive
session to review the developments
of inquiry in Chicago, which has
lasted throughout tlie week.
A further hearing probably will
lit- hold, it was said, either iti New
York or Washington, before report-
ing to- the president the commis-
sion's finding.
William 0. Williams, Texas rail-
road commissioner, was the last
witness and took issue with the
view- ills predecessors had express-
ed. He indicated thht. at most, the
government could only concern it-
self with interstate railroad busi-
ness and added that Texas had
found a way to keep interstate roads
from trespassing by requiring each
to have separate state incorporation
for the division within its'Tiorrlers
“The federal government should
not interfere with state governments
in the regulation of financial affairs
of railroads," said Mr. Williams. “It
is not near enough the seat of op-
erations to be able to (judge local
needs. These are matters which tlie
states severally are in a much bet-
ter position to control.
“in this direction Texas litis nqt
been idle, it has studied its own,
conditions, has determined what
should be done to regulate trans-
portation affairs and is proceeding
to carry out through enforced legis-
lation the' measures that it found
advisable.
"Texas is not interested in the
conditions which Illinois or New
Hampshire may have to face ant!
those states are not interested In
tlie troubles of Texas. Each is In a
better position to act for itself than
any outside power and for that rea
son I believe any attempt to super-
redo state with federal regulation
would be a mistake."

CRIMINALS.
The history of the nineteenth
century.is tilled with the reforms
Which were directed not merely
to the improvement of criminal
codes and tile mitigation of pun-
ishments for crime, hut to tlie
better rare of the itisane, of pau-
pers and of prisoners, who had
been treated in the eighteenth
century far worse than animals.
In soitie of our states and in
many countries of Europe tlie
death penalty Inis been abolish-
ed. even in cases of murder:
Before the era of reform I here
’ was little or no public sympathy
with the criminal. Today we
seem almost to have reached tlie
point where the sympathy is so
slrietly confined to file criminal
that there is none left for the
xiictini of fbt* crime. The aboli-
tion of capita! punishment dt>e*
not appear to have brought
about the condition postulated
by Taileyntml. who. when he
was urged to support tlie aboli-
tion of the death penalty, said
be certainly would if tin* mur-
derers would begin by giving up
murder.—Heni.v Cabot Lodge.
