The individual who has passed a
spring in Texas must have blunted
soul when he says that nature has not
been partial in distributing her fayOrs
among this people. II Is not sacrilege
to conclude that Texas must be the re-
lay to paradise.

The President yesterday put the Civil
Service Commission on its feet again by
appointing Charles Lyman (Rep.) Of
Connecticut, IN place of Dorman Il.
Eaton, and John II. Oberly Dem of IL
linois, in place of Trenholm, of South
Carolina. Mr.. Lyman is good man for
the place, because he believes thorough

A cerl espondent of the Salem Mass. J

complimentary tone about the children
of that region. During trip which en-
