Texas three years ago, when senator
Maxpy was candidate for reelection.
Fortunately, as il happened, lac wss in
a position to puncture, very promptly
and effectively the bubble Of IN srepre-
srntation and II collapsed. Every
Texsn, at all informed rs to postal
matters, knew that many OF the postal
routes in Texas were links in the star
route service. IT was known, too,
that Senator Maxey, in common with
other congressman from the state, had
been industrious, when proper oppor-
tunity offered, 10 procure an improve
ment Of the mail facilities in this
state. If he aided IN eXpediting this

Spouse to requests of his constituents
The people of Texas knew his hands
were clean of any other connection
with star routes add they sent him to
the senate again. IL Is simple Justice
TO him To say that he enjoys the conf.
dence OF Texans to-day a. thoroughly
as he did when these matters were
talked about three years ago. He as
not esteemed n an especially able oil
useful man. He is not popular, in the
true sense of the term, throughout the
state. But he is regarded as honest,
practical and safe. He has shown his
good sense by declining to be goaded

The sewers of Fort Worth.

Fort Worth has cons,ructed sys- |
TEN of sewers, at n cost OF $4,000 or
$40 900, reaching 10 all parts OF the city.
This large Gum Of money was Willingly
spent by the people, for they reeog-
uized the need Of such drainage sys-
tenn. They expected TO get some ben
GIFT from it. Thus far, 1t cannot be
seen that the sewers have been regarded
as OF much use, since very small pro-
portion of the residences and business
houses Of the city are connected with
them. 1t is asserted that less than two
hundred connections have been made
with the sewers, when, to complete
the system and give II efficiency, the
connections should number as many
thousands. The city council has or
dered that all property owners IN the
districts accessible to the sewers have
their premises connected, but there Is
no rent disposition to be in hurry
about complying with the order
This Is a matter with which the coun-
| ell should not deal indulgently. Prop
GER and decisive action should not be
delayed, hut compliance with its order
