SALARIES AND FEES.
The constitution of the new state
of New Mexico provides that all
county officials shall be paid salaries*
same to be fixed by the legislature,
in lieu of the fees paid in several
states. The fees of several of the
county officers in past years amount*
ed to large amounts, and the object
of the provision is to guard against
too large emoluments.
GIVE CREDIT WHERE DUE.
The Brand appreciates and has
used the special news servie'e of the
Texas Commercial Secretaries, but
it believes that all papers should
give credit where editorial matter is
appropriated. It is not an uncommon
occurrence, in scanning the papers,
to run across a bright, snappy edi-
torial paragraph in a good paper
and then in the very next exchange
and several following to find the
same paragraph heading the editorial
column. No one wants boiler plate
editorials and while the C. S. are
doing a lot of good boosting they
should ask that all comments should
be duly accredited.
CONGRESSMAN AT LARGE.
It is now conceded by the news-
papers all over the state that the
Panhandle is sure to carry off the
honors in the election ot at least one
Congressman-at-Large. They do
not care to give the Panhandle two
men and will not if they can help it.
In many sections of north Texas the
weekly papers are favoring Judge
Lancaster's race as he was the first
in the field. The Bowie Blade takes
a slash at the situation and cuts off
a large chunk for the Plainview can-
didate. It says, "The Panhandle is
deserving of recognition and as this
appears to be the general idea pre-
vailing in all sections of the state,
Judge Lancaster would not likely
fail in winning the race except for
tha unfortunate fact that another
candidate from Amarillo is also
coveting the-honors."
PRIMARIES VS CONVENTIONS.

covered that the preference primary
as Tecently tried in New York and
Massachusetts is a "failure and a
burlesque on orderly election me-
thods." It deplores the mix up that
resulted in the Taft-T. R. election
and thinks "the peepul" got it in
the neck because Clark carried the
state against Wilson while "the
peepul" elected delegates pledged to
Foss. It further charges that "the
vote was pulled and hauled and
swayed and badgered" and brow-
beaten out of his rights. But in a
column of equal editorial width and
depth, the shining Star sheds its
light upon the political situation in
Texas under the old convention plan.
It shoots a ray of ironical Star dust
into the dark alleys where the be-
nighted but instructed delegate was
caught napping while the political
suns where in total eclipse. It says,
"We (The Star) think such sweep-
ing and exclusive instructions are
unjust to the delegates and the future
of the barber business in those sec-
tions where they (the delegates) re-
side should "take the Wilson veil."
To give the delegations instructions
"to vote for Wilson first, last and
all the time or until he is elected"
seems to have given the twinkling
Star such a hard jolt that it almost
jumped out of its orbit, forgetting
that the overwhelming victory in
Texas for Wilson was the result of
that very kind of primary conven-
tion which the Star claims In the
next to column to be the "time-hon-
ored" system. In one paragraph,
the daily at the Panther City calls
those who would iostruct their dele-
gates in conventions bewhiskered
Populistic Democrats and Democratic
Populistic whiskers ; in the next, it
calls the preference primary a "new
political will-'o-the-wisp" and ac-
cuses those who favor such methods
of obtaining the will of people as dra
siring to destroy representative gov-
ernment. The trouble about the
whole matter is this: In those states
where the preference primary results
did not "gee" with the politicians,
it is all buncombe; but in Texas
where the convention results did not
"jibe" with the rattling, rusty poli-
tical machine, it was rotten and
absurd.
The Texas pension rolls for Con-
federate soldiers now contain about
13,000 names.
The Harmon men have "sicced"
Clark's "houn' dawg" on the Wil-
son crowd and from several reports
it seems that the aforesaid "dawg"
has "treed" some of Wilson's
"coons."
The "Dollar-a-Day" paosion
measure has been signed by Presi-
dent Taft. This will add something
like $30,000,000 to the already
heavy pension list.
The bill provides that a soldier,
66 years of age, with a service re-
cord of two and a half years in the
Civil or Mexican wars, shall receive
a pension of $18 per month, with
three years' service $19 per month.
At 70 yeers of age and one and
one-half years' service the veteran is
to be paid $21.50 per month; with
two years, $23 per month ; two and a
half years, $24; three year, $25
per month.
At 75 years of age, having served
one and one-half years he will re-
ceive $27 per month; two years and
over, $30 per month.

OVERDRAFTS I0T ALLOWED
First Nomination For President.
The first candidate to be nominat-
ed for president of the United States
was put out at Indianapolis last week
when Eugene V. Debs of Terre
Houte, Ind., was placed at the head
of the Socialist ticket. Emil Seidel,
former mayor of Milwaukee, was
nominated for vice-president.
A. C. Elliott, editor of the Here-
ford Brand, has announced himself
as a candidate for Representative
for the 123rd district, composed of
Hale, Swisher, Armstrong, Lamb,
Randall, Deaf Smith, Castro and
Bailey countiei. Editor Elliott is
represented as being a man of high
ability and training, such as to fit
him for the position to which he as-
pires. Aside from any other con-
sideration, Mr. Elliott possesses that
preeminent qualification that is ab-
solutely essential to the best service
on the part of a servant of the peo-
ple, and that is a close aud appre-
ciating knowledge of the state and
her needs. — Hale Center Live-Wire.
Morris Sheppard.
Another candidate has visited the
Panhandle. Up to this year cam-
paigners for national and state offices
failed to recognize the Panhandle as
a factor in the Texas political equa-
tion ; but now, all who even think
they have a shadow of a show for
election, have climbed out of the
Pan and up to the Handle as far as
the hole for hanging up the skillet.
The last to honor this great section
of the greatest state was the Hon.
Morris Sheppard, candidate for the
Junior Senatorship. He was given
an ovation at Amarillo and Canyon
last Monday. While his most for-
midable opponent was given an en-
thusiastic reception throughout the
Plains and Panhandle, Mr. Sheppard
has been greeted with an outburst
of public applause and approval.
