a Lesson for Houston.
Houston Post.

For obvious reasons the Post prints iut
full this morning the proceedings of =
public meeting held at Fort Worth Oh
Saturday for the purpose of starting a.
movement looking to the erection of aa
cotton mill in that city. 1t is good reading
for Houstonians. There are some thingsS
in the article quite ggestive-fu1t4o|
meat, so to speak. 1t will be obserre4
that gentleman of responsibility confess
to the people of Fort Worth and says
''You take 500 900 in stock and will get
Eastern parties to take $3.50 900; or, you
take $50 200 and [ viii have subscribed
500 900 - The meeting was enthusiast
tic over the propositions and very sensi-
bly, decided in favor of the larger mill,
the $3.50, 900 investment. And the peo-
pie of Fort Worth will raise the money.
Now here is something for Houston to
think about. WHY is it that no Eastern
mar has come to Houston to make such
q proposition? Certainly we are more
favorably located than Fort Worth for
such an enterprise. Not q great while
ago Mr.. s. ID. Blake, president of the
Dallas cotton factory showed by ludisput-
able evidence that Galveston and Hous-
ton have undenIable advantages in trans
portation, and argued that if the Dallas
factory could escape the local tariff from
Dallas to the seabOard it could find a
market in Central and South Amer
lea for all the goods it could
possibly manufacture, independent
of the local or state demand
These advantages are to-day enjoyed by
both Houston and Galveston The latter
city saw the point and big cotton mill
is assured, with others to follow, per-
haps What has Houston done? But
the interesting point in the matter is
this, why should Eastern capital, with
the facts stated by Mr.. Blake fully
known seek inland cities like Dallas and
Fort Worth and never come near Hous-
ton? There must be some reason for IT.
What is it? Is it in the atmosphere, or
is it in the people? We have an abuasI
dance of fresh water, the best railway
facilities, cheap property for mill sites,
adequate banking facilities-an thsse
we have, and more, and yet capieAfs
never rings our door bell. Why is ~
Let Houstonians deal eandldly win
themselves and they will discover the
reason. M

Because of the superior intelligence.
enterprise and efficiency of American
manufacturers. They have more ex-

cheaper and better processes of produce

OF every kind, except in the matter of
the cost of raw materials. Wherever
they have been placed upon an equality
in this respect they have gone to the
front. AS to the relative cost of labor in
Europe and in this country, the differ

average workingman in Europe re-
ceives less than the average working
man in North America because he earns
less; that is, because he produces less.
Measured by efficiency and productive
power, labor in most industries Is cheaper

THERE is always right way as well as
wrong way to do thing. The citizens
of Walker county have chosen the right
way to aid in the building and mainte-
nance of a Confederate soldiers home
They held a public meeting and deter
mined to appeal to the people of Texas,
and appointed a committee to issue an
address asking other counties to join in
the movement. They also determined to
go down in their pockets and give f1nan-
cial aid and encouragement to the enter
prise. The address of the committee
will be found reproduced elsewhere in
these columns. 1t is plain statement
of the facts, and patriotic appeal to the
people of the South to take care of those
battle-scarred veterans who, more than
a quarter of a century ago, poured out
their blood for principle IS sake. 1t would
be well for every county in Texas to fol-
low Walker IS lead. The people of Texas
are well to do. Crops are abundant this
year, and general prosperity prevails.

A SORGHUM sugar mill would be pay
ing investment for Fort Worth. mill
of this kind is being successfully run in
Fort Scott, Kansas, and would do much
better here. Texas soil will produce
much more of the cane to the acre, and
it will prove paying crop for the
farmer as soon as a market is created for
it. The diffusion process should make
Texas the first sugar-producing state in
the country.

Absolutely nothing of the tenor Of the

Burke was photographed this after
