rhe Dallas Herald is discussing the pay

have no doubt that any sort OF indicator
would show that good deal of 1t recently
was in these lands, for though they stand IN
the name of some one else, the money paid
for them goes into Robeson's pocket. Honest
men do dot conceal their investments IN
that way.
The Denison Herald-News is disposed to
be fractions with tho New York Tribune be-
cause of It's badinsge over the name OF the
democratic nominee for governor OF ONO,
There is not much in name in Ohio, The

Hersld-News says:
The New York Tribune does not seem to

the few weeks of stiffness of the Ohio papers

l. is true that the memories that cluster
about San Antonio and hsllow its name'
are of as gallant deeds and heroic sacrifices
for the liberty and for the right as mark any
oftbe annals of the world, and it 10 move
in the right direction now being urged BY
the San Antonio Express for the erection OF
monument TO the illustrious dead OF the
Alamo. The -gloriousness of the Ex-
pre,s is excuasble and will be tolerated lift
only succeeds in the measure it advocates as
follows: -.-
Tn view of the great interest shown In the
ooriv history or our ancient city, history
peciilisrly rich in deeds of valor performed
nv men who rank with the heroes Of the old
world. would it not be good plan to form
a h;sLorical society here. The history of this
citv reads like romance and can now be
Gathered by q historical society provided
With suitable building for preserving its
records. The veterans OF the later struggles
for liberty are yet with us, but they are
growing old and will soon be called to cross
that bourne whence no traveller returns, and
with them will perish much OF the knowl>
edge of the heroic suAerings of the pioneers
of our present civilization. records ore
Also now accessible which time and decay
will soon obliterste. These should BIO gath

form. Many relics Of the past can also now
be gathered which will otherwise DO scat-

idIv increasing trade, are wiping out tho old
lsndnarks and soon they also will be forgot.
;an photographs and paintings of old
buildings can now BIO obtained which are

modeyn emporums of trade. These. OF

oreatest interest to visitors as we'll as to the
survivors of the struggle which makes our

Through the lessons of the past we learn OF
the poSsibilties of the present and future.
THESE should be taught TO the rising genera
