IF public opinion should look to
The STATESMAN as leader it would
take close reader OF that paper to tell
in what direction it was going. If it
has any coherent policy, opinions, or
politics, it should hasten to explain
them. They are wholly ignored by
the press of the state Galveston
News.
THE STATESMAN is not writing for
the approval of the News. Its early
discourtesy to the present editorial
management indicated oaptious and
unfair critic in the News. The policy
of The STATESMAN seems to be pretty
generally understood and approved, as
evidenced by Its increased subscript-
ion list and advertising patronage;
and its opinions are relatively more
frequently quoted and endorsed by the
papers of the state than the opinions
of the News, the News to the contra-
ry notwithstanding.
It certainly b as not policy of vitu-
peration and abuse of every public
man, nor does it expect to be read to
satisfy such q vicious craving. thas
occasionally attempted to shield the
defenceless from the sharp and acrid
tongue of a fretful and garralous old
woman, who never has a good word
for any one. THE STATESMAN is a
democratic paper, vide its partiality
and defense of democratic administra-
tions. That must be evident to the
News. It attempts to inculcate NOR
ality and good citizenship by exposing
fallacy AID holding up the hands of
right. 1t has good will to wards all
men, and it has attempted to cultivate
peaceful relations between all cl isses
of men. Its editorials are not diatribes
and phillipics, but general comment
on current events containing impor-
tant information. 1t is attempting to
do all it caa for the m aterial develop
ment of the city of Austin ID the
state of Tex Is, and it is neither chron.
ic grumbler nor toothless granny that
snar!s and snaps at everything that il
is impotent to bite. That's what it is

GUS than lung fever, the result of over driving
is in sight. The speaker cited several instan-
ces of far reaching and most disastrous pan1cs
created by the stupidity OF S0-callcd govern
ment experts. He asserted there has never
been west of the Allegheny mountains case
OF that form of Dluero-pnemot1a which raw
aged Europe and Australia. Has anyone
heard of a Lew ca e of pl urO,pneunlcnia

asked the speaker. Then Mr.. Coy pr posed

He was particularly severe upon sensational
reports set on 10 by iItere sted veterinarians
and circulated by the press, the result being
the onerous restriction upon the importation
of American beef by foreign countries.
