COKE ms owN SUCCESSOR.


1t now seems to be conceded fact that
hat Governor Roberts star of aspiration is
leading toward the United States senate.
Whether he is or is not candidate for the
senate does not alter what we have to say
on the subject. We THE pro tenn voted for
Governor Roberts for governor, and have
never regretted our action for moment,
He, in our opinion, has flied that position
with credit to himself and to the state,
Through his administration a Texas bond
is worth to-day as much as that OF the
United States. He has never, at any time,
been party in the wasteftIl expenditure
of the public treasure, or on internal I'M

taught him those improvements were COM

United States senate are concerned Rich

lievc Gov. Roberts admitting his desire, to

constituency as has Gov Roberts his, Coke
has labored faithfully, and it seems to have
been his chief aim with all the ability he
possessed to advance the welfare of the

certainly to have the bond set out the dis

that ''if any person should steal from II

nor more than seven years" was in force

be treated ms surpusage or descriptive.
Under the repeating article the punishment
for ordinary theft was declared to be from
two to ten years unless the value of the
property stolen was under 500 If under
$50, the district court could have no juris-
diction, and hence could take no steps TO en-
force u bond. In this case the penalty pre-

forced because repealed that of theft gen

The district court having enormously

urged was that the first transfer Invested
the district court of jurisdiction, and that
the county court had no jurisdiction
to enter an order retransferring
the case. Held, hypcrcritical, and that

We see It stated that Wurzbach, Of San

committee of the 18th legislature, says the
bill has been drafted for the apportionment
of the state into ten districts, and that the
first district rs now constituted will not
have enough population to eutte it to one
representative under the new bill and that
ii will have to draw from the second dis

GOVERNOR RopERrs' NOOK.

His book, however deficient in thorough
ness and lacking in fullness of data, is yet
interesting because it is an outgrowth and
exponent of this very anomaly of character
that has been so potent factor of the gov
ernors success. In reading the book, one
thinks rather of the writer than of what is
written, and follows it through with curl
GUS interest to observe the characteristics of
mind which the work displays. 1t was
doubtless published for Il three-fold reason
the good ii might do for Texas the good
il might 90 for the author, and lastly to
crafty the vanity that constitutes notice
able though harmless weakness in the
character of "the old Alcalde." The au-
thors picture is placed both at the beginning
and upon the last outside cover of the book,
and perhaps he would have been still bet
ter pleased to have found it in the middle as
well. But if jeff Davis can give his picture
twice in his book. why may not Governor
Roberts follow suit? In all the purposes
for which the book was published IL will
measurely succeed. Containing rs 1t does
quite an amount of information about the
state and its resources, ii will be more eN-
tensively circulated and read than any book
ofits kind. 1t will also do the governor
good with the grangers. Because it is Gov
ernor Roberts book we can say..it possessed
sufficient interest to justify its purchase

No shrewd business man now denies the
benefits to be derived from advertising. In
the large cities we find the leading and
most extensive houses the largest advcr-
tisers, In the small towns It is not always
the case, for we find houses that have been
long established and have run of regular
old time customers, and the houses
are content On the other side we find men
who are active and believe in pushing their
business forward and invite trade through
the columns of the town papers. These
men succeed and eventually absorb the
business. We contend that every business
man in Il small town should advertise their
business in their town paper. II is n duty
