No ONE expects the Dallas Herald
to correct It's misstatement that
Sepator-eIect Calhoun Is lease-law
advocate. The Dallas Herald does not
print facts, but what 1t would like to
see accomplished. DIR. Tolar's defeat
was due In great measure to the fact
that he did not announce until very
late In the canvass, but Senator
Calhoun will be true to his people and
he Is not lease-law advocate.

by the contest in New York. II was

manner so as to avoid the close local
contests that, rs now we see, have

The CONTEXT of 1907 between John

the presidency by plurality of three

fit were possible to lay another rose,
more lovely or fragrant than those that
already bloom, upon the grave of George
Ball, the dead banker philanthroplst OF
Galveston, we would esteem II an honor
to place it, tender and reyerentially,
there. Living, the man gave grand
earnest OF his grand nature when he en-
dowed the high school. which will bear
his name, with n sum amounting 10
more than SGO,0OO. But it was not until
the other day, when his will was offered
for probate. that the full measure of his
noble soul and big heart was known.
After the requests to family and relatives
there comes n final bequest of $4,000,
which his executors are to handle us u
charity fund, the income of which Is to
be used to relieve poor people in the
city Of Galveston who are really In dis
tress. Invested at the low rate of o per
cent this will yield the sum, annually, OF
5000. And how beneiicient 1t may be
made in its uses. II will shed light and
warmth in many an humble home where
sickness or misfortune have left wan
faces and feeble forms; II will give food,
drink and rainment to the starving and
cold who are merltoriously destitute and
to restore to health, happiness and use

burdens Of this strange, fierce mystery
we call life. Here was a man, indeed,
whose memory may be honored. We
have talked and boosted of, in the past,

and others. Let the name Of George
Ball be placed beside theirs, as glorious,
In every respect, to be remembered for
all time to come. Shall we have any
more such menu Let us hope that there
be Others who will remember they can
take no more from this world than they
brought into it, and that the possession
of wealth carries with it responsibilities
that are moral as well as practical.
