AT the Board Of Trade dinner, last
evening, Major q. K. Pangborn, a
rising young journalist, said:-''There
could be no Board of Trade without
advertising, and there could be no adj
vertising without live newspapers. "
This hint in regard to THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS will not be lost upon the
Board. 1t was a noble self sacrifice for
the Major to put in that very necessary
word live" and thus exclude a pub

Board Of Works BIundering.

It is a fine sarcasm on Jersey City to
have Mr.. Pearl G. billiard of the Board
of Public Works say that he and his
fellow Commissioners thought that
they were abolishing a county office
when they overrode the mandamus OF
the Supreme Court by doing away
with the office of tender of the Hack
ensack Bridge.
1t would be like the State of New
Jersey abolishing the Office of keeper
of the Washington Monument at the
National Capital.
1t was funny, too, to learn that Mr..
billiard, who has been in the Board
SO long, did not know how the Pas
sale water crossed the Hackensaek.
But, then, the Board has never been
distinguished for it's knowledge of the
real business of the city.

THE Newark Journal expressed a
fear that the Board of Trade, of this
city, would be demoralized by its din
ner, and do no work for the future.
Such, says the Journal, was the fate of
the Newark Board of Trade at first.
Now they dine less and work more.
The solicitude of the Journal is neigh
borly, and yet we would mention the
fact that a square meal is not SO rare
over here as to cause any serious de-
rangement of the Observation-Disclosures of
the community.

- ot 1A RorhNAOiAs
The editor of THE JERSEY CITY
News has received q season pass for the
Sub-Tropical Exposition, Jacksonville,
Fla. The editor has no use for it him
self, and will cheerfully lend it to any
subscriber who may visit the Land of
Flowers, of sand flies and of sand. No
visitor to Jacksonville should fail to
go to this show even if he has to pay
his way in.
He will, it is confidently believed,
see there what he can find in no other
part of Florida, save, possibly, the
railroad freight depots in the remote
wildernesses of the Everglades. He
will probably find good oranges, fresh
vegetables and, perhaps, live COWS
raised in the State.
In former times, history relates, all
these articles were indigenous to
Florida. The soil may still produce
them, but if it does, they are shipped
out of the State SO quick that the
average tourist never sees them. In
the average hotel or boarding house
of this earthly paradise, he is fed on
dressed beef and mutton from Kansas
City; canned vegetables from New
Jersey; condensed milk from New
York; preserved fruit from California;
and bread made Of -four from Mime
sofa.
Go to the exposition by all means.
Besides these exhibits they will prob
ably show you an alligator (stuffed)
six feet long, instead of the twenty
foot monster depicted in geography,
and when you call for more they will
tell you that it took the alligator two
hundred years to reach that length.
But you need not believe this, and the
sight of the fresh vegetables, even in
glass eases, will be refreshing after
Florida hotel fare.
DIR. GORDON, who called the Board
of Trade banquetters to order last
evening, is evidently quick to see
those signs of growth in this city
which are also the agents of the inn

to the birth of THE JERSEY CRY

to good things when they came.

The annual report of st. Francis

the history of the hospital, and the
good work done at the hospital can
not be overestimated. The work is
purely one of charity, and it is a great

from the state educational fund. The
pro rata for each child is 81 .05 for this
year.
Many districts have supplemented the
state and county fund by imposing q To-
cal or district tax for school purposes.
This has been done at Benbrook, Bacon
Hill, Keller, Handley, Kennedale and
perhaps in other districts. Since the
average term is only about four months
in the county, it is hoped that all dis
tricts viii improve their schools and
lengthen the terms by voting the special
tax
The educational outlook is quite favor
able in Tarrant; new and costly
school buildings are being erected and
supplied with elegant furniture. Trus-
tees are careful in the selection of teach
ers, and q Uniform series of text books
has been adopted by them, which is likely
to result in much good to the schools.
For the purpose of uniting the teachers
and increasing the educational interest
the Tarrant County Teachers Associa-
ton has been organized, composed of all
the teachers of the county and city,
whether teaching in the public or private
schools. The association meets the last
Saturday in each month, and all friends
of education are requested to attend.
With an active, intelligent population,
Tarrant county intends to advance her
school facilities and educational enter
prises until she shall be the superior of

UHited States was successful after a
series Of brilliant victories. To-day
Texas stands a revelation of sudden
greatness and unparalleled progress in
the development of her great natural re-
sources and in her march toward the
highest civilization To-day the adopted
clone Starr child stands the peer of
this Union IS members aud bids fair soon
to be the fayorite child of the family.
And why should she not? Her
vast domain exceeds all in richness
and productiveness of soil; in healthful-
ness of climate she cannot be surpassed,
and her. people for intelligence, hospitals
ity and enterprise are excelled by none.
The people of the older states can justly
say of Texas: - Her people are our peo-
pie; her ways are our ways; her God is
our God. - Ten thousand ties of love
bind Texas and the hearts of Der people
to her sisters of the Union, ard they win
never be severed as long as tile American
Union lasts. Texas has at last found
genial companionship; She feels at home;
her people are contented, happy and
prosperous, and, as her name implies,
''weIcome - she ever extends a cordial
invitation to all her kinsmen to come and
dwell within her borders to be one with
her people in their glorious Texas. And
WHAT INDUCEMENTS
has Texas to offer to people of other
states to come here and make
their homes? Remarkably pro-
ductive land. Here can be raised on the
same farm cotton, corn, wheat, rye,
oats, barley, millet, sorghum, alfalfa,
peaches, apples, plums, apricots, grapes
of a number of varieties, Irish and sweet
potatoes, and vegetables of all kinds,
which yield earlier in the season and
continue to yield later team in the other
states. In fact, with a little care, no
farmer need be without fresh vegetables
throughout the year. 2. Cheap lands.

February Is, 1885, by Robert Cavalier,
the Sieur de la Sale, subject of Louis
XIV of France. In July 1856 La Sale
founded colony upon the banks of the
Lavaea and built q fort, which he called
ST. Louis At this time New York city
containeds4000 inhabitants and all of New
England numbered but 100 900 people.
In 1891 Spain planted a settlement in
Chihuahua, Mexico. Thus it win be
seen that France, by right of Irst settle
rlent, owned Texas. Pope Alexander
VI. issued an edict short time after
ward assigning TO Spain the territory of
Texas, and it was governed afterward
for a number of years first as province
of Texas and later as the state OF Goa
hula and Texas. On the 1st day of
March, 1892, the people of Texas assem-
bled at Washington. on the Brazos river,
and declared themselves free and indie
pendent of Mexico and established 4 re-
public On March II the constitution
was signed, which was modelled after the
constitution of the American Union and
some of the states. The war of indie
pendenee followed, and Texas won her
freedom by the sword. On October %,
1886. Sam Houston was inaugurated as
the first president of the Texas republic.
The population OF Texas being largely
made up of people from the old states they
were anxious to join the American Union.
Negotiations were set on foot and after
nearly ten years of waiting the two re-
publics agreed on the basis of admission
or annexation and Texas became q state.
This was perfected on June %, 1915.
This annexation led to war between the
United States and Mexico, In which the
