one OF these cities can claim popula'
tion exceeding $1,000, while two Of
them do not claim above %, 600. A
large proportion Of these, too, are
negroes, who do not constitute 8
reading public, and are to be taken
from the gross population in estimat-
ing the patrons Of the press. Deduct
ing these, and II Is safe to say no city
In Texas has more than 5000 white
inhabitants. Yet, four Of these sized
cities give TO the world four such daily
papers as the Galveston News, the
Dallas Herald, the Houston Post and
the Fort Worth GAZETTE.
With the single exception OF the
Springfield, Mass, Republican, no
newspaper in any Of the Eastern or
Northern states published in city OF
less than 100, 900 population can COM
pare in size, style, news features or
general ability with the four named.
And IL Is safe to assert
that the calculations OF these four
Texas newspapers are above the aver
age circulation Of daily papers in
Northern cities of 100000 population,
The special service Of the Texas daily
press is a matter whose magnitude Is
surprising to readers from the North,
accustomed to very limited special re-.
ports, even in their leading city jour
mails. There are daily papers in
New York and Philadelphia claiming
to rank with the best, which are far
behind the News, THE GAZETTE or
the Herald in the amount of special
dispatches taken. When one takes
into account the costly nature of spe-
cial kilograms, it will be understood
to what expense this feature OF the
Texas daily press puts the proprie-
tors.
Few OF the daily papers in the North
and East, outside Of the metropolitan
centers, issue more than six papers a
week, With but the exception of the
Post, all of the Texas papers named
issue seven papers week.
Looking at these facts, it cannot be
said that Texas lowers its dignity
alongside the most boaslful Of the
older and presumably more cultured
communities. II people are to be
judged by their literature, the judg-
ment must be favorable as regards
Texas. No people, not imbued with
enterprise and intelligence, ever gave
such hearty and encouraging support
to their leading newspapers, or took
such just pride in their prosperity and
as do the people of
Texas.

A Tranquil Nervous Srstem

Can never be possessed by those whose
digestive and assimulitive organs are

stomachs make weak nerves. To re-

tranquilize the nerves for while, but
they can never, like Hostetter's Stom-
