A TEXAS INTERPRETER.
In Texas they take their religion
as they take their politics, and they
take both "hard." In some sections
religion seems to be taken even
harder than politics. One political
party is so overwhelmingly in the
majority in the state that it treats
with good nature and much forbear
ance all of the arguments and all of
the efforts of a minority which it
knows to be hopeless. In matters of
religion the lines are much more
closely drawn. No party has a ma
jority ,and the arguments and dis
cussions, continue from year to year.
One of them, at Timpson, resulted in
the killing of one prominent citizen
by another, says the St Louis Globe-
. X Democrat.
The dispute arose between Wil
liam Boatman and William Holmes
over the correct interpretation of a
passage- of Scripture. Finally, either
a the rage of conscious defeat or in
the greater rage of hearing what he
thought false and pernicious doctrines
so stoutly defended, Holmes drew and
fired. Boatman was instantly killea,
the accuracy of the Texas aim being
as high in matters of religion as in
matters of any other kind. Holmes
surrendered himself, the inference
"f being that he intends to defend his
action with a plea of resistance to
heresy. It is not easy to see what
other defense can be offered in Texas,
the one of insanity, 30 frequently
made in the North, being very un
popular everywhere in the South as
a defense in cases of this kind. The
one of self-defense appears to be
eliminated by the statement in the
dispatch from Timpson that Boat
man was unarmed.
The higher criticism in the inter
pretation of Scripture has never been
faborably' received in Texas. Some
professors have had to resign tkeir

THE ECONOMICAL SYSTEM OF A GREAT COMMERCIAL NATION

VERY DISTURBING AND HARMFUL, WHILE A WAR WITH ANY
OTHER GREAT POWER WOULD CAUSE INCALCULABLE DAMAGE.
AND IT IS MORE NECESSARY NOW THAN EVER BEFORE THAT
WE SHOULD BE FULLY PREPARED AND THAT EVERY OTHER

been denounced there as being unsci-i
entific, in fact, in its failure to settle
anything with that exactitude which
science claims for itself. Mr. Holmes,
it may be, was trying to offer a high
er criticism than the highest ever yet
advanced by any of the high critics
gone before. His method can claim
for itself a greater exactitude than
any other. - It hits the mark more
unerringly than any of the college
professors ever have. It ended the
argument. And the smoke it raised
was soon blown away. This can not
be said of all the higher criticism "of
the schools. But neither can it be
said that the higher criticism of
Holmes will settle anything. Nor is
it likely that his method of criticism
will be generally accepted in Texas

method of interpreting Scripture.

ALLEGED SLAYER OF
GIRL RAVES IN CELL
BOSTON. Jan. 5. It was learned
today that the Rev. C. V. T. Rich
eson's mind has given way and he
is raving in his cell.
Application will be made to the court
to appoint a commission in lunacy.
If it finds him insane he will immed
iately be transferred to an asylum for
treatment.
It is authoritatively stated that
Richeson sometimes screams and
yells incoherent phrases wherein the
names of Avis Linnell and Violet Ed
wards are all that is distinguishable,
At times he doesn't recognize his own
attorneys again he plays about his
cell like a child and talking to his
cell mate, a negro, tells him what they
will do for amusement when they get
back to Richeson's father's planta
tion in Virginia.
Richeson's first symptoms of vio
lence were indicated yesterday morn
ing while his attorney was visiting
him. They were engaged in conver
sation. Suddenly Richeson leaped to
his feet, screaming that he had been
made a victim of the police. His
frenzy became so dangerous that ths
negro cell mate had to throw him to
a cot and hold him there, while Rich
eson jabbered like an idiot. When
the negro released him he remained
on the cot and in the same position
all day, muttering and talking like a
child.

What the printers and publishers of
the country are doing has been made
the subject of a special bulletin by
the Census Bureau, which finds that
there are - 22,143 publications in the
country, with an aggregate circulation
of 165,468,190 copies per issue. Of
these 2,602 are dailies ( exclusive of
Sunday) with an aggregate circula
tion of 24,217,127, and 15,097 are week
lies, with an aggregate circulation of
40,822,965. With all due" respect to
the Census Bureau if it has really
established these facts it has done
something no other agency has ever
been able to accomplish.
From time to time one will see in
the papers references to the use of
glass for street paving, and the mier
ence is unavoidable that the time is
near when we shall use glass, not only
to pave the streets but to build houses

material for almost every other use.
This promise is given something of
a blow by recent consular reports to
the effect that a factory in France to
make glass paving blocks has failed
and gone out of business.

YOUR. BACK YARD.
Do you remember or have you heard
It Dr. Conwell's lecture on "Acres of
Diamonds?"
Conwell tells this story:
A man of South Africa wandered for
several years, prospecting over veldt
and kopje, searching for a diamond
mine. Discouraged by his failures, he
settled down in a house.
- One day while digging in "his back
yard he came across a find which on
development resulted in the discovery
of a rich mine of diamonds.
And the moral?
Plainly enough, what Conwell make:
It the need of conserving and usins
all yourj-esources. however small. "In
vour back yard, says tne lecturer.
"are acres of diamonds."
While the prospect of finding litem
diamonds In your back yard is rathr
farfetched, nevrrtheless there is wealth
to be had.
Take a look at it. 1
Have you made of your back yard a
dumping phtce for refuse, cluttered it
with offensive rubbish? If so clean it
up and give it a chance. Change it
from a liability to an asset
Learn from the Japanese.
When the Jap comes to this country
he is amazed at the neglect of our
premises. In Japan every inch of the
little holdings, however small, is cult)
vated. The front yards blossom as
the rose, and the back yards grow half
the living of the household.
Do you waste your back yard?
Properly tended, when the spring
comes it has big possibilities of garden
stuff. Even n small space is worth
while. A few square feet will bring
forth an astonishing quantity of table
delicacies.
Besides
There is the possibility of beautiflca
tion. A few cents expended for pro
fuse blooms like swet peas and a va
rietv of climbing vines will do much
to hide ugly surroundings and trans
form your back yard into a bower of
beauty.
There's wealth in your back yard if
you will dig for it

The days of the playing manager in
baseball are slowly but surely coming
to an end. It will be but a few more
seasons when the director of the field
will sit on the bench throughout the
battle and with a move of the digit or
hoof send his team to victory or de
feat, instead of polling out the crucial
bingle or bobbing at the eleventh hour.
Sixteen moguls will guide the des

will carry along with them the nom de

Magnates Try Both Styles.
Some magnates favor the playing
managers, and others fancy the bench
managers. Really the playing part
makes little difference, and it's up to
the manager himself, quiet or active, to
be a success.
Frank Farrell has had both kinds

ARIZONA'S DEMAND
FOR SPUDS iff
According to McKinley Mitchell,
who controls the Arizona potato trade
from Oregon, shipments from this
state during December were the great
est known by far.
No additional business is coming
from the southwest, but back orders
are still being filled and some recent
purchases have been made in the
country at 90c and i yet- cental, f.
o. b. country shipping points.
Demand for table stock outside of
the Arizona call is at a standstill.
Southern California continues to take
on limited offerings of American Won
ders around $1.50 per cental f. o. b.
Willamette Valley points, but this
seems to be the extent of the busi
ness for that account.
The few shipments of fancy table
stock that have been sent from here
to San Francisco have not netted ship
pers any profits and for that reason
little stock Is being sent in that di
rection. On the basis of the prices
ruling in the Bay City, the prices
here are higher for fancy goods than
they are in the south.
Locally the potato trade is showing
an improvement owing to the de-
crease in offerings due to the unfav
orable weather. While prices are
firmer, no change i noted.

follows:

for the wild birds while the snow

may obtain it. Many of the mer
chants have donated crackers and bits
of bread for the birds. In several
yards pieces of suet were suspended
from limbs of trees, and the birds
gathered in large numbers to partake
of it. A sharp lookout will be made
by the members of the society ana
