day asked him. has not the FREE

per was day behind time, not an IN
usual thing 10 Texas.) He replied,
"yes-look at the file Of papers and
you'll find it," l said, Il cant zee
it," but he said, look again among
your mail and you'll 6ud It, and sure
enough. there was the FREE PRESS,
but so much enlarged, such good print
ing paper and clear type that ut first l
could not recognize my old companion.
Now, sir, hope you will succeed, but
I have fearful doubts about your being
recompensed for your trouble and ex,
pense. You, as we'll as other publish.
ers have made great efforts to extend
circulation, and done sll TO make the
papers interesting. But let me tell
you, that most people had rather pam
per their appetites, in drinking or
eating, than feed the brain and the
yearnings Of the soul for progress.
There arc others again who had rather
halt starve and stint their table, but
wish to make appearances and dress
above their means. These two classes
will not support paper; they have no
money to spare for newspaper or
books, times are too hsrd-but they
have money for cigars, tobacco, liquors
aud luxurious eating or extravaganza
in dressing. They raise money for
such things by all means. Intellect is
at discount. Filling the stomach, in
du,ging in drinks, following fashions,
and paying for immoral designations,
for these always money is to be found,
and raised, even at the risk OF honesty
and fidelity. But brain labor is not
duly paid. All who depend on skill
are the last ones thought OF to be paid.

brewer in order to make money, than
be an editor, doctor or teacher.
Just look at our State If Texas, with
The large resources it has, with the
bountiful inherita nee left by the founi-
ers of the Republic OF Texas what
poor, misery free school system We
have, cut shor. by the Legislatures OF
the present time. while all former laws
in the Republic tended to found good
school system.
