Judge Robinson Commended.
District Judge John Robinson
of Bell county, has done some-
thing which many people had
wondered had not been done
long before. He has instructed
the grand jury to indict for per-
jury those people who are evi-
dently lying, when they claim
not to remember things required
of them in the grandjury room
or on the witness stand. The
false testimony and refusal to
testify dodges have been a stink
in the nostrils of good govern-
ment for years. Many grand-
juries have deplored the condi-
tion, but until now, no known
serious effort has been made, to
correct the evil. Such methods
as have been employed have been
farcical in results, and the giv-
ing of false testimony and of the
convenient forgetting before the
grandjuries has become so com-
mon that it is almost regarded as
something beyond the power of
the law to reach. Right at hand
has lain the remedy, and it has
not been concealed. Any man,
in discussing the affair, men-
tions this untried remedy the
first thing. Why judges have
not heretofore used the weapon
at hand is unknown, but that at
last it is to be applied justifies
the kickers who have all along
claimed that it could be effective-
ly used. Not every case of de-
served punishment can be
reached, but it is hoped that
hereafter there will not be such
general evasion of the grand-
jury probing that men will laugh-
ingly boast of the impotence of
that body, and hold it rather a
creditable distinction to hood-
wink the officials charged with
ferreting out crime and prose-
cuting offenders.
Judge Robinson is to be con-
gratulated in having taken the
bull by the horns. Why he and
other judges had not done so long
ago, is perhaps for good reasons,
but reasons which the ordinary
citizen has not been conversant
with. The application of the
remedy may not be so fruitful of
good as is hoped for, but it is a
credit to the court to give it. a
trial, especially as the people at
large have.looked to this method
of procedure as the very primer
of law enforcement proceedings.

“Texas Eggs Never Poorer” is
the headline of a leading .article
in the Texas Produce News, a
paper published in the interest of
the poultry and produce trade.
It is said that the average loss is
15 to 20 dozen to the case, and
sometimes the loss is much great-
er. Hot weather is given as the
cause of the damage, and people
who have eggs for market are
advised to keep them in a cool
place, the storm house or cellar
being suggested as the best place
to store them until they can be
brought to market. The Dam-
pasas Produce Company, and
other dealers here, complain of
the poor condition of the eggs
this year.
Among the graduates c^f West
Point Military Academy this
year are two sons of Texas.
Frank Ball Hicks, of Rockdale,
Milam county, and Charles An-
derson Walker, of Craft, Chero-
kee county, each graduating
with honor. The Texan has al-
ways stood high as a soldier.
There is something in the history
of the Alamo and San Jacinto
that gets into their blood.
G. W. McCann came in Tues-
day night to bring W. W. Shurt-
leff, who had received a message
that his mother was seriously ill
at her home, Stamps, Arkansas.
Science and Art.,
Agriculture is one of the broad-
est, deepest and most compre-
hensive studies among men. In
the cultivation of the soil, the
production of various farm crops,
the feeding of animals, the man-
ufacture of farm products, the
preparation of human food and
all of the processes with which
agriculture is intimately associ-
ated, great skill is required and
none but the intelligent may
hope to succeed.
Agriculture is both an art and
a science. A knowledge of sci-
ence enables the manager to un-
derstand the principles upon
which successful agriculture is
founded. The man who knows
something of science knows why
fundamental laws are observed
and how best to observe them.
He is fortified with information
to meet urgent needs of the hour.
The art of agriculture must be
acquired by practice. A knowl-
edge of physics, chemistry, bot-
any and mechanics does not
qualify one for practical agricul-
ture. The successful farmer
must know how tq put into oper-
aiion the fundamental fact§ of
science. He must know how to
grow crops economically and
how to market them profitably.
He must know his farm and a
practical way of managing it.
He must be a worker, a thinker
and a business manager.
A young man who has a
knowledge of science may soon
acquire farm practice. He may
make mistakes in attempting to
put science into practical agri-
culture, but if he is interested in
farming and has industry and
executive ability he will surely
succeed. He will achieve re-
sults within a short time that
would take his friend who had
never learned anything about
the science of agriculture, years
'to acquire, if he be fortunate
enough to learn by failure and
hard work.
No other occupation offers bet-
ter opportunities to young men
than farming. There is health,
happiness and compensation in
agriculture for the industrious
young man who studies. Those
who are not willing to study and
work diligently on the farm
should seek some other occupa-
tion. Agriculture requires edu-
cation, perseverance and indus-
try. If you lack these qualifica-
tions do not make the mistake
that others have made in trying
to farm.—Farm and Ranch.

Erwin, of Kempner, were guests
in the home of Rev. and Mrs. J.
W. Cowan Wednesday.
Mrs. Buttrill, of Lometa, ac-
companied by her guest, Mrs.
House of West Point, was in
town Tuesday.
Mrs. C. E. Anderson, known
here as Miss Bee Hooker, will re-
ceive The Leader in the future

Hocker, assistant cashier of the
Peoples National Bank.
Wool buyers are here in num-
bers and it is probablp that there
will be a sale of the' warehouse
wool stored here within the next
few days. Wools are selling
over the state at 12 to 16 cents,
but the-^rowers here want a bet-
ter price than that, and think
they are entitled to it, as they
raise a much higher grade of
wool than is produced in other
sections where the grass is coarse
and rough.
To Elect by Direct Vote.
Washington, June 12.—The
senate tonight, by a vote of 64 to
24, passed the resolution amend-
ing the constitution to provide
for the election of .senators by
direct popular vote.
The Bristown amendment, giv-
ing the federal government su-
pervision of such elections was
adopted. The vote was a tie, 44-
to 44, and the vice-president cast
the deciding vote. The house
had already passed the resolution.
The states which have de-
manded the adoption of a con-
stitutional amendment providing
for the direct election of senators
by the people are:
Arkansas, California, Minne-
sota, Utah, Kansas, Texas, Illi-
nois, Indiana, South Dakota,
Idaho, Washington, North Caro-
lina, Tennessee, Montana, Wy-
oming, Nevada, Michigan, Wis-
consin, Colorado, Kentucky,
Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Okla-
homa, Alabama, New Jersey;
total, 29.
Market Eishers Are Arrested,
Corpus Christi, Texas.—State
Fish Commissioner Sterett, with
his staff of deputies and boatmen
on two State boats, came into
pore with five boats and fourteen
market fishers captured in Corpus
Pass, where they were seining in
violation of law.
The prisoners were Greeks and
Mexicans who sell their ‘ catches
to the local fish houses.
Complaints were made to Com-
mi'ssionerSterett that market fish-
ermen poach upon reserve oyster
beds and breeding grounds to
such an extent as to jeopardize
the public safe food supply. Sev-
eral hundred pounds of fish were
confiscated and the men will bq
prosecuted.
