. TEXAS LAND* ARE CHEAP.
Lands in Texas are "dirt cheap
If evidence la required to sustain
this statement, proof Is abundant.
We have frequently heard the
statement that Texas lands are too
high and that prices have gone up
so high that the inveater cannot
hope receive s fair return on hta
investment.
There never was a greater mis-
take. Lands in Texas are cheap
“cheap as dirt' —and there has
never been a period In the history
of the state’# development when
the outlook was brighter for the
land buver than It is today. As
special Investment or as an Invest-
ment for home building lands are
as cheap now a« they were twenty
years sgo. They could have been
purchased at lower prices than now,
we admit, but the country was un-
developed then. Modern methods of
agriculture was little understood
TarnSportatlon facilities were only
a dream then but a realltv now.
There were no public highways
worth the while, nor drainage laws
nor ditches nor Irrigation canals
then. Thousands of aero* of our
most fertile lands were veritable
marshes then. But in the brain
and brawn and money of far-sighted
Investors have drained these lands
dnd made them soltable for inhab-
itation of man with the plow. These
lands were almost valueless twenty
years ago, except for the grasses
they grew and the browsing herds
that roamed at will over them
But Anglo-Saxon fait hand vim
and energy have transformed them
Into beauty spots a^d the home-
builders have erected comfortable
homes, turned and sweetened the
soil, laid out farms, conquered the
myriads of mmosquitoes, plantsd
trees, established highways. dug
ditches, built Imposing house* of
worship and established public
school houses. Twenty, years agd
these lands were high at *5 per
acre; tolay they are cheap at $109
per acre—far cheaper than they
will be five years hence.
These lands are productive now—
made so by the land agent and the
speculator by dint of hard work and
persistence. And what a change!
An acre of land should be worth
what It will net Its owner year by
year, ought It not? Accept this as a
basis' of value and who can say
these lands are not cheaper now
than they were twenty years «go?
We have many concrete Instances
where these lands are netting their
owners from $150 to $500 per acre
annually If we accept its earning
capacity as a haais of value, are not
these lands as “cheap as dirt?’’ and
this should be the true method of
estimating values.—Htourtott Poaft.
The Democrat Is reliably Inform-
ed that Hon. John Marshall will hot
make the race for state represent-
ative for the unexpired term of Hon.
3. R. Elliott, resigned. In tills con-
nection Henry Witcher of Belts, who
has been solicited to run, now says
he will do so, since Mr. Marshall win
not be in the contest.
Prosperity earmarks all over the
state. It is bursting out of the ground
in magnificent, fruit, vegetables an,'
field crops. It reveals its presence
in tho well fed cattle and other live
stock. It reflects its beauty in the
marts of trade and there Is a stream
Of gold and silver pouring Into our
coffers from the east and north in
exchange for the train loads of good
things out of the warm soil, from
farm, ranch, garden and orchard.
Just for the sake of saving human
life and minimizing mourning in
Bherirmn homes the Democrat ad-
monishes all automobile drivers to
slow up at crossings, and stay within
,|he speed limit Very,few accidents
. have occurred In the city but the
papora tell of many being killed or
maimed for life because of reckless
driving or seeding. Tho danger is
■decidedly imminent In the town or
city when caution ts not observed.
The woma ttmayor of Hunnowell,
Kansas, has appointed b woman for
oily ntnrshal but the council refuses
to confirm. This Is too bad and
those naughty aldermen ought to be
ashamed of themselves.
Victor Herbert and his match lees
musical organization come to Sher-
man next Thursday. Those of our
citizens who love artistic music will
no doubt buy tickets early for the
event. Only four or five cities in
tho state have obtained the attrac-
tion and Sherman would not have
been one of these had not the se-
niors of Kidd-Key college made the
guarantee. Oklahoma City, the next
dato following Sherman, has se-
cured Herbert for two days and the
guarantee is five thousand dollars.
Sales In that city are active and the
coming of Herbert, the master musi-
cian of two hemispheres, is accept-
ed as a rare opportunity to hear the
very best in the world of music.

shoes was one calculated to be de-

Representative Oscar W. Under-
wood of. Hie Ninth Alabama district,
the floor leader of the democratic
party in the house and a prominent
factor in the reciprocity proceedings
now before congress, was born in

grandfather was a colleague of Hen-
ry Clay in the senate. Young Under-
wood was educated at the Rugby
School in Louisville and at the Uni-
versity of Virginia. After finishing
his law course at the university in
1884 lie began tho practice of his
profession tn Birmingham, Ala. Si-
multaneously he became interested
tn democratic polities • in his new
home and in 1892 lie was made
chairman of tho donu>enitie execu-
tive committee of his congressional
district. He was first elected to
congress in 189 5 and has been re-

Night Mass in liig Cathedral.
New York, May (i.—A large gath-
ering of clergy and laity will fill
St Patrick’ Cathedral an hour or
so before sunrise tomorrow morn-
ing to attend a solemn pontiflcial
mass, the first ever celebrated at
that time of day, or .rather night,
in tho big Fifth avenue church edi-
fice. The occasion will be the cele-
bration of the tenth anniversary of
the inauguration of an early morn-
ing mass for newspaper men and
other night workers.
Archbishop Farley will officiate
at the mass and Bishop McFaul, of
Trenton will deliver the sermon.
Invitations have been sent out to
many clergymen and other repre-
sentative men in all parts of the
country, irrespective of religion,
and many have promised to attend.
The first night workers’ mass
was held by Father Evers at St
Andrews’ church, in Duane street!
1901, after a dispensation had
been obtained from Pope Leo XIII.
The weekly attendance is now in
the neighborhood of 1,200.

Washington, D. C., May «.—Last
bulletin gave forecasts of distur-
bance to cross continent May 9 to
13, warm wave 8 to 12, cool wave
11 to 15. Temperatures during the
period of thisj disturbance aro\ ex-
pected to average lower than usual.
May is usually one. of tbs most
quiet months of the year, and
therefore Its average la mild or
quiet as compared with other
months. Weather events of the
week covered bv this storm period
will be more than usually radical
for May, or about an average as
compared with Some other months.
Next disturbance will reach Pa-
cific coast about May 13, cross Pa-
cific slope by close of 14, great cen-
tral valleys 15 to 17 eastern sec-
tions 18. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about May 13, great
central valleys 15, eastern sections
Cool wave wilt cross Pacific
dope about 16, great central valley*
18. eaatern sections 20.'
The week covered bv this distur
bance will average cooler than us-
ual and the cool wave at Its ciose
will carry frosts farther south than
usual. That cool wave will be the
most radical of the month bnt oth-
erwise the weather^vents of tins
disturbance will not be of any great
Intensity.
Most rain from this storm wave
Is expected along and within 200
miles of of latitude' 37 and In the
high lands east of the Rockies and
north of latitude 37. East of a line
drawn front Winnipeg to 8t. Louis
and particularly along and within
200 miles of a line drawn from
lies Moines, Iowa, to Quebec, Can-
ada, a serious drouth Is expected to
develop during 4he week of the
above described disturbance. Some
very dry weather Is also expected
this month in section near the Gulf
of Mexico and the upper valleys of
the Rio Grande
Renders of these bulletins know
that 1 have been expecting big
crops for 1911 north of the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi and Red
River of the north. Farmers are
growing wiser and^tnany of them
acted the part of wisdom by refus-
ing to sell their grain at the ridic-
ulously low figures of the past
winter. Producers should stop the
habit of all rushing their products
to market at the same time and
many farmers and planters have al-
ready refused to continue in that
rut.
The time is not. far itway when we
may know, approximately, what the
crops will be all over the world for
years tn advance and already a con
nlderable part of the producers are
being benefitted bv the ndvice that
goes out through these bulletins.
Science Notes.
The U. S. Weather Bureau has
unit fighting long range weather
forecasts and now promise to have.
In a short time a perfected system
for long range forecasting. 1 have
all always encouraged all long
range forecasters and of course I
welcome the U. S Weather Bureau
professors to our ranks. They,
fought us to a finish and the result
Is quite satisfactory to all the old
long range forecasters.
But we have not yet converted
the U. ft. Weather Bureau to our
systems of forecasting and of
courso there will he fierce competi-
tion. Aa I see It everv one of the
old long range forecasters has a
bettor svstem than that being adopt-
ed bv the U. S. Weather Rureau.
Of courses the people for whom we
forecast will judge bv results I
know that 1 have the correct system
of forecasting on that basis. Nat-
ural laws constitute a unity and
there cannot be two correct bases
that radically differ.

CHAPTER XI.
'T'HE forces allied with Rollins
themselves attempted publicity.
? But against tbelr publicity
A Breed bad put an enormous
practical benefit; against their appeals
he bad put an enormous practical ben-
efit; against tbeir attacks be bad put
an enormous practical benefit and the
tide of public favor, springing not
from the printed pages of the morn-
ing and afternoon papers, but from lip
to lip, set In tfo strongly In bis dlrec*
tlon that It reached every Investor.
Bread at 4 cents—later at coat!
To the victor belongs the spoils, and
the spoils of this war were the prox-
ies. Breed succeeded through Kelvin
in that apparently Impossible dream of
every railroad man since Stephenson
Invented the steam engine—the concen-
tration of every railroad in the United
States under one management Then
be sent for Rollins.
"Well, 1 kept my word.” said Breed.
“I tohj you I meant to have control
of every mile of railroad In the Unit-
ed States, and now I have It. I have
sent for you to take over tbelr man-
agement"
Rollins vkas pale, and there were
dark rings under his eyes. “I don't
know if I want it There is only one
condition under which I could accept,
and It would be folly In me to expect
yon to grant me that”
•“You might mention It” observed
Breed dryly.
“The condition is that I may do ns
I sec fit, may work absolutely unham-
pered. Man.” he suddenly hurst forth,
“yon don’t know bow many years 1
hnve dreamed of this! It has been the
ambition of my life to put this great
public utility upon the plane of its
proper relation to the public.”
“That Is my own dream,” Breed de-
clared.
“I find belief difficult,” replied Rol-
lins. “Moreover, I bad imagined that
Mr. Kelvin here was to have boiuo say
In the matter of management.”
Breed smiled and looked at Phillip.
“I have larger work for him,” he said.
“larger!” exclaimed Rollins. “Can
there be anything bigger than to com-
bine a quarter of a million miles of
railroad, every foot of transportation
highway in the United States, under
one economic head, eliminating graft
and waste and putting them nil upon
a working basis of legitimate profit
and public safety?”
Breed waved his hand. “Much
larger,” said he. “This Is only an In-
cident. I wish you would tell me Just
what reforms you propose instituting,
Mr. Rollins.” ^
“First of all,” said Rollins earnestly,
reassured, "I would secure for every
through line 120 pound open hearth
steel rails, made in new mills from
larger ingots, with the cones of im-
purity cast entirely aside and the com-
pact residue kneaded Into a proper con-
sistency by an entirely new system
of rolls. There are other things that
need to be doue—tho establishment of
perfect block systems, of automatic
brakes and other accident preventing
devices and the abolition of grade
crossings—but the main matter of
public safety rests lu perfect rails.
Ten years ago I tried to fight tills
proposition, and I nearly succeeded.
The Tallahassee Iron and Coal com-
pany offered to make open hearth rails
to my specifications. The Unified
Steel corporation found that to control
the stock of the Tallahassee Iron and
Coal company was much cheaper and
more profitable than to spend the
needed millions tu re-equlpping their
plant.”
“Your first step, then, I suppose,
would be to begin a fight on the Uni-
fied Rteel corporation,” observed Breed.
“That, in a nutshell, Is our problem,”
declared Rollins.
“5'our problem Is already solved. Mr.
Rollins,” said Kelvin, with a smile.
“Mr. Rreod’s control of the railroads
has left the Unified Steel corporation
high and dry. Mon-over, we have se-
cured entire control of tho Iroquois
Iron range, and. no matter what the
Unified Steel corporation does, we shall
sot up our otyn rolling inlils and make
rails by our own process from our
own ore.”
“But the program will bo left entire-
ly to your own discretion,” Interrupted
Breed. "Yon shall have a contract
for one year, renewable for ten years
If your preliminary steps meet with
my approval.”
“Allow me to understand,” said Rol-
Ilns. “in that year 1 am to be abso-
lutely without Interference In any
way?” ’ . J
“With two exceptions,” replied
Breed. "I want a private rebate on
all shipments of bread or cereal stuffs.
Next, here is a list of names. These
men are not t<Y be employed in euy
capacity nor benefited in any way.”
Rollins looked over the list and
smiled. “There isn’t n man here
whom I would lift n finger to save.
There Is not a man In that list but has
bad an Interest in car company, a
Coupler company, a brake company, a
locomotive tire company or some other
manufacturing concern which furnish-
ed supplies to his own railroad at
enormous prices. There Is to be no
graft in the new construction.’’
“Certainly not,” agreed Breed.
“These roads must be conducted for
legitimate profit and public safety. If
there Is ally graft I want It myself,
and I am content- to take dividends
for mine. For one year yon are the
absolute dictator of the largest em-
pire In the world--the combined rail-
\
roads of the United States.1*
From bis desk be took* a contract,
confined to one sheet of paper, which
he handed to Rollins.
That gentleman took tbe paper, read
It over and caught his breath. “It 1*
a generous salary,” he admitted, “more
generous jhan I should have dared to
ask for.”
“Huh! I am saving money on It,”
declared Breed. “It’s only a portion
of a thousand fancy salaries that I ex-
pect you to stop at once.”
Rollins nodded his, head In compre-
hension. "1 will take great pleasure
In stopping a few of them.”
Kelvin conducted Rollins to a-room.
next to his own. that bad been fitted
with a commodious desk and all that
should go with It Rollins sat upon
the desk and looked about him smil-
ingly.
“Looks fairly complete, doesn't It?
Did you hnve a hand in this?”
"No,” said Kelvin, puzzled and
piqued ns welt “It has been arrang-
ed for a long time, l think. Mr. Breed
has probably been planning to make
Forest Lakes tbe capital of New York
city.”
“Perhaps the capital of the United
States.” retorted Bolllns, smiling In
answer to the jest. “Who knows?
He has a good start. He has paid a
lot of attention to detail too. Every-
thing ts complete now except for a sec-
retary,” nnd idly he touched one of the
row of buttons along the right hand
edge of his desk, tbe one marked
“Secretary,”
Instantly the door of the adjoining
room opened, and a sober faced nnd
noncommittal looking young man, rud-
dy cheeked and clean eyed and tow-
beaded, walked In, notebook In hand.
"Hello!” said Rollins. “Who are
youF’
“I nm your secretary, sir. I came
last nldht. My name ts Jens Nelson.”
“Swedish, eh?” guessed Rollins.
“Yes. sir,” said Mr. Nelson. “I am
n graduate of the Minnesota Technical
college, founded by Mr. Breed, and am
one of his scholarship men.”
Rollins smiled over tho naivete of
this Admission.
“All right. Mr. Nelson,” said he.
“You hnve a telegraph operator here.
I believe. Mr. Kelvin?”
“Wireless.” amended Phillip.
Rollins glanced at his row of buttons
and nodded hts head. “Mr. Nelson,
you may take these marconlgrams.”
and without any hesitation he began
dictating peremptory discharges to a
long list of railroad officials. •
Thus set 1n the new empire—the em-
pire of the iron highway, an empire
which held under Its absolute control
the commercial destinies of tho na-
tion, an empire more powerful than any
ever conceived by man. It was a reign
that began peacefully and quietly ns
the stern Rollins, with a smile, dis-
possessed half a thousand men from
their fat sinecures. But as he worked
Henry Rfc-ed, attended by Dr. Zelphan
and carrying a bundle of golf sticks,
stopped in tbe door a moment.
"By the way, Rollins,’’ said be,
“there is only one personal provision
I wish to make, and that must be seen
to from the first. I want my dividends
all in cash—nothing else, understand
—just cash!”

for the millionaire Sumner Rollins ap-
peared.
“1 came down rather unexpectedly,”
be said. “I suppose Kelvin’s In his
office?”
“No,” said the doctor, rather shortly.
“Mr. Kelvin Is not In hts office. He Is
out with Mrs. Rensselaer and young
Rensselaer and Miss Breed fishing-
fishing In a private lake for pet fish
that come up to be fed when they are
called!”
“It doesn’t sound much like sport.”
confessed Rollins, "bnt, after all, I
envy them. Where is Mr. Breed?”
Again the frown returned that all the
morning had crossed Dr. Zelphan’a
brow. “1 ddn't know,” be snapped,
“but he is some place about the house.
I'll find him for you.”
He stepped Into Henry Tweed’s dim

him.

He banded nolllns two wireless
messages, which the latter read with a
passing frown. One was signed by
the head of an Immense packing house
In Chicago, tbe other by the president
of the largest fruit shipping company
on the western const To both he
dictated the same curt reply:
“Discussion positively closed.”
Blagg read the answers with a grim
smile. “Allow me to congratulate you,”
said ho. “You may not know it, but
you are doing splendid preliminary
work for the social equity cause.”
"The preliminary work?” repeated
Rollins. “How do you think it will
be finished?”
“In violence,” returned Blagg, with a
darkening brow.
Rollins shrugged his shoulders. “Vi-
olent conversation largely, I ^uess,”
he rejoined.
Blngg’s eyes snapped. “Deeds!” be
declared. "Let Inequality and oppres-
sion go on for but a short time more
and there will be such a revolt from
the darkor depths of this Country as
not even France bos ever known.
There exists even now a close organi-
sation of the underdogs who are
ready at a world to rise and undo the
wrongs to which justice has grown
blind.”
“You seem to know a lot about It,”
commented Rollins. • ,
Blagg calmed down his Excitement
with an effort "I keep fairly well
posted." said he. “Among other things
I know that there Is a branch of thnt
organisation which needs Just such
men as you.”
“I am rather busy ns It Is,” return-
ed Rollins dryly and walked over to
bis own office. “Have you prepared the
data I asked yon to get ready, Nel-
son?" Inquired Rollins.
"Yes, sir,” replied Nelson. He -walk-
ed across to a filing cabinet brought
from It a drawer, which be set upon
Rollins’ desk, and lifted np tho spring.
Rollins leafed/ through the Indexed
flaps, beneath which, very carefully ar-
ranged, were displayed the mileage
distances by various routes between
all important points in the United
States, with the percentage of grade
resistance figured In units, these, com-
pounded with the mileage, showing the
ultimate hauling resistance. It had
been a tremendous task. It was neat-
ly and perfectly accomplished, yet Nel-
son showed neither elation nor diffi-
dence.
“This Is splendidly done,” observed
Rollins after a long interval of careful
Inspection.
“Thank you,” said Nelson quietly.
Rollins glanced up at him with puz-
zled curiosity. “That will do just
now,” said he, witb n slight frown, nnd
Jens walked composedly Into his own
