PRoHIDITIoN.
Prohibition will draw largely from
both parties In Texas at the next cleo
ton. IL IN not party question and
cannot bs maze an issue in that way.
During he presidential election II cut
no figure, aud even In States that are
largely la favor Of prohibition, like
Kansas ana Iowa, tho Prohibition
vote was ANAL. Tho only way In
which prohibition can effect anything
Is within the lines OF the party IN OIL
years. Dsnison Horald-News.
A PAPER ON THE FENCE.
Local option 10 being ayitated IN Pro
cinot No. /, Tarraut County, which III
cludes Fort Worth, and II petition with
tho regulate number of signers has
beeu filed in tho court, and an election
will be ordered In the near intnre' Tho
Gazette is partially opposed 10 prohiOi-
ton and thinks it Will prove Injurious
TO the ulsce. We think the editor OF
the Gazette, because nc can't get along
without his toldy, should not judge
the people of that enterprisipB cl'y, oy
himself. However sincere, wo think
the Gazette Ia only waiting TO learn tho
popular side before ~ makes u tnal
choice. Collinsvilie Times.
WANTED COUNTY ROADS.
The CRYING need of Texas ls good
roads. Every growing iown in the
State feels the need ol tbem; every
neighborhood is put to Inconvenience
and loss because of tho lack Of them.
Texas wants straight roads and gooo
roads. So great In this need that 1t
would nav cities like Fort Worth and
counties like Tarrnut to incur the OK
expense OF making good rcade. me
dirt roads in these thickly-popuiatea
communities will no longer serve the
public purpose. We need macadam-
lied roads--or gravel roads. Ihe suR-
Qestion of the Day ~ one that has
6eeu m ,de by several newspapers.
It is practical suggestion, and one
deserving the serious and immediate
attention of our Lawmakers. There
would be no conflict between convict
and honest labor were short term
convicts put to work on the county
roads. Road work is dlstaste'ui
one, ana no man would opjeoy 10

ALAS, ALACK THE DAY.
Dallas and Fort Worth have grown
amazingly under the journalistic !eau
Of THE HERALD and Gazette, ana are
at this moment moro prosperous IMAM
at any former period. Galveston has
( NOT thriyed under the tread of her
Journalistic white elephant, and when
the historian comes to speak OF her
ruins, as he speaks OF the dim traces
Of Palmyra, Sidon and Babylon, ne

THE DRAIN AGAINST OUR PEoPLE'
i The biggest drain on the money OF
this State is buying Northern bacon
and -four and retailing it to the people.
The money that is paid for these two
articles leaves the State never TO come
back again. We know there is great
deal Of flour and bacon brought 70
Blanco by our merchants, ana ~ Sn.s
there are many thousands OF dollars
sent out of our county never 10 return,
every year. - Williamson county
OUR POST OFFICES.
A post office of the tirat-class Is one
In which q business OF $40, 1000 is done
In year. IN Texas there have been
only four first -cl8ss offices-Galyes..
ton, Austin, Dallas and Houston, but
In the future, under the new ADJUST
Ilnert, there will be only two-Galves'
ton and Dallas. Austin and Houston
have fallen to the second;class.--lCam-
