THE GREAT RAILWAY CENTER

Ennis Local: The issue of the Fort
Worth GAZETTE for New Year day is a
grand exhibit of the history and wonder
full growth of that city. Its phenomenal
prosperity dates from the time the Texas
Pacific reached that city. Since then the
railroads of the state have Tadiated from
every direction to that point as a natural
center. The fertility and great natural
resources of a very wide area have CEN
tered there all the factors Of a phenomen-
al growth. 1t is now the greatest railway
center in the South, eleven railroads
daily disoharging their cargoes of wealth
into its lap from every point OF the
compass. With its numerous ar
tesian wells, its complete water
works, its street electric railways, its
large mercantile and manufacturing es-
adjustments, and the well directed en-
terprise of its citizens backed by the cap
ital necessary TO the execution of its pur-
poses, it is impossible to forecast its
future growth and prosperity. 1t is now
the second city in North Texas and posi-
bly, the outcome of the future may make
it notably the first. THEIGAZETTE has long
been prominent factor in promoting its
Importance, and win still be more
potent one in its outcome. The Local
congratulates THE GAZETTE and the city
in this prosperity.

Wants Good Roads.

The Dallas county road convention in
the interest of good roads simply asks the
legislature for better road law. If the
counties could each have road commits
sioner, with salary proportionate to
his duties and bond sufficient to force
compliance with them, and let him de-
termine the amount of work needed on
the different roads-regardles of the time
required to do it-and be empowered by
an amendment to the county convict
law to force the service of county con-
victs on roads requiring extra work, then
we could have good roads. A niggard
economy III the matter of road work or
expense is blow at progress. II is q
pity that teams must be pulled to death
on bad roads when their work could be
made easy and their lives and usefulness
prolonged by having good ones. We re-
spectfully ask our representatives TO
labor for q law that will give us good
roads

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The report of the regents of the State
University to Governor Ross, which has
just been published, shows that institu-
ton to be approaching dangerously near
a condition of bankruptcy. The fact that
the expenses, which were already in ex-
cess of the receipts of the university fund i,
have been increased while the receipts
are decreasing indicates a financial
status that, to say the least, is
unhealthy. The available fund for
the present session is estimated at
S44 ,9l9, while the appropriations
made for expenses amount to S5I ,j25.
The difference of S6G06 represents the
probable shortage that the regents will
be compelled to face at the close of the
present session.
To cover probable deficiencies and to
make contemplated Improvements the
board asks for another loan of $500 200
upon the terms of the loan of SIPS 900
made to the university by the special
session of the Twentieth legislature, i. e..
to be repaid to the state out of the rev.
enue of the university on or before
January /, 1910, without interest. The
needs specified 10y the regents may be
summarized as follows:
Buildings $50 900 to complete center
and north wing of main building now in
course of erection; this, in excess of $780,
GOO appropriated TO this purpose out of
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-01-14

the loan made by the last legislature;
SIS 900 to complete the east wing in the
style OF the present west wing; SIS 200 to
provide seats, furniture, pipes, radiators,
boilers and building for steam heating
Additional instructors-On each in
chemistry, modern languages, French
and German and law.
New Chairs-American history and
literature, econo mics, biology, botany
and astronomy.
Equipment for the chemistry depart
ment--sehool of applied mathematics; of
history, of geology.
Medical branch S75 ZOO with which to
begin operations, and an increased an
nual revenue of S25, 200.
In the aggregate, this statement If
acted upon would involve a permanent
investment of about 500, 900, and an
increased annual outlay of about S45, 600.
To meet these varied demands the uni
versity has not one cent of available rev.
enue, but on the contrary, it is alto
gether likely that it viii emerge from the
scholastic year nearly $1,000 in debt.
These facts are net stated to discredit the
management of the regents; it is proper
that they should be known and they are
urged by the regents themselves as a
sufficient reason for the loan asked of the
legislature.
1t is evident that the legislature must
deal with the issue presented in some way
if it would not have the affairs of the
university involved in an inextricable
tangle. 1t might be well to postpone for
a time the establishment of the medical
branch, for with it in operation at least
$50 ZOO would be diverted annually from
the main department at Austin, which
would result either in the severe Gripping
of its facilities or in the accumulation of
a large floating Indebtedness to be pro-
yided for at some subsequent time.
1t will be noticed that an additional
professor is suggested for the law depart
ment. 1t is curious to note the DONNA
ton of this department in the affairs of
the institution. OF six full professor
ships it has two, of SAL 800 appropriated
for the payment of salaries it gets $1,000,
of 262 students it has eighty-four. Dur
ing the last session seventy-three law
students were in attendance. Something
as to their status may be inferred from
the action of the board of regents in
fixing eighteen years as the minimum
age for entrance in this department
because of the number of youthful ma
triculants In these facts, THE GAZETTE
sees no cause for congratulation. That
the state can in nowise be benefited by
such abnormal additions to one class of
professionals is apparent. IN the interest
of the state, of the profession, and of
young men seeking a vocation we think
that this state of things ought to be dis
couraged rather than encouraged. The
regents suggest that tuition
fee should be fixed for the medi-
cal department, and that so
far as possible it should be made self-sus-
tanning. The reasons are equally valid
for applying the same policy to the law
department The policy of free profess
sional education is certainly doubtful,
and in Texas where so much remains to
be done in the way of industrial educa-
ton it cannot be defended.

AN INTERNATIONAL congress of Scotch
Irish is to meet at Columbia, Tenn. May
10. Prominent representatives of this
descent from Europe and America are
expected to be present, and many inter-
esting papers will be read. Some of the
most notable characters in American
history have flowed the hot blood
of the Irish and the cool blood of
the Scotch in their veins. The type is a
distinctive one here and across the conti-
nent, and one that is everywhere con-
nected with honorable traditions and
achievements.

THE REPUBLICAN ERROR.

Since the election it is made evident
that there is large protection element in
the South. 1t was silent during the cam
paign, for the race question overshadows
all others in the South, and so long as it
is not solved that section will be solidly
Democratic .-TToledo Blade. The South
is solidly Democratic, not because of the
race question, but because of the attitude
of the Republican party upon that ques-
ton. Stripped of all superfux the
Republican idea is that the blacks by the
force of cohesive numbers should domin-
ate the South. That such is the aim of
Republican agitation is too patent to be
denied by candid men. 1t is not malig-
nant; it seeks partisan advantage, and
that, under present conditions, can be
obtained it is supposed, only from the
negroes.
THE GAZETTE has said before, and it
still believes that, as partisan policy
the Republican plan is a mistake.
1t can never succeed in the South, and
when the North comes to understand, as
it surely viii; in time, that the color line
in Southern politics is forced by the Re
publican party the discontinue of that
party in the North is inevitable. No con-
siderable element of white people in the
North desire to make a Hayti of the
South
The Republican party is responsible for
the political mob that forces compact
organization of Southern whites.
Whenever it withdraws its banner from
that mob the first step toward the politi-
cal segregation of the South viii have
been taken.

THE Voice, the national organ of the
Prohibition party, charges and proves
that part Of its mailing list, including
the names of 80 900 subscribers, was
stolen few days prior to the election and
sold to Messrs. Clarkson and Dud-
ley of the Republican campaign
committee. AS the unwritten his
tory of the campaign comes slowly to the
surface the evidence continues TO accum-
ulate that Grover Cleveland made seri-
Gus blunder when he told reporter, the
day after the result was known, that his
party was beaten because of lack of
votes

and they viii call upon Senator Jarvis
and their representative, Mr.. Parker, to
help them fight their battle. These would
be valuable aids to the Fort Worth alder
men IS their opposition would certainly

PROGRESS OF THE Sol
PRECC
SOUTHERN

PRESS.
Our Southern contemporaries are. beginning
the new year prosperously and progressively.
The Fort Worth GAZETTE, with its new press
and dress, is of the best papers in the South.
The Dallas News is pushing ahead in splendid
style and the San Antonio Express is making a
record as a brilliant paper.
The Memphis morning papers, the Little Rock
Gazette and the Mobile Register all give signs of
new life and enterprise.
In Richmond the Tirles has absorbed the
historic Wing, and is coming to the
front as a live journal The Nashville
American, the Chattanooga Times and
the Charleston News and Courier are doing adj
mirably, and the Birmingham Age Herald is
filling its field as well as its readers would wish
Our neighbor, the Macon Telegraph, has a new
perfecting press, and is marching on.
We have called attention to some of our other
contemporaries before. In every direction the
Southern newspapers show signs of determine
ton to reach higher standard of excellence.
There could be no better evidence of Southern
prosperity and progress. country cannot be
prosperous without good newspapers, and good
newspapers cannot exist in poor county,
ATLANTA Constitution.
And the great Southern journal, which
tells this tale of progress, sets pace at
which few newspapers, North or South,
can travel. AS the Memphis Avalanche
says, there was no need for the Constitu-
ton to mention itself, every one knows
it is great newspaper

The Electric Sugar swindle.
Scranton Truth.


The sharper manages to keep pace with
science in this progressive land of ours,
and the latest proof of ingenious rascal
ity is furnished by the recently exploded
electric sugar swindle, which has taken
in number of gullable persons in this
country and in England to the extent of
81 900 900. The ,'electrie refinery" was
a great scheme. Nobody, not even the
most enthusiastic stakeholder, was per-
mitted to witness the workings lest the
secret should be stolen, but samples of
the sugar refined by this remarkable
and economical process were freely
shown and testified to the success of
the discovery which promised to revolu-
tioniZe the work of refining sugar. It is
estimated that IN all 10 900 shares in the
electric sugar scheme were sold, and that
most of the shares were disposed of at
$500 to $500 each. England and Scotland
took 1898 shares at fancy figures, Canada
nearly 500 shares and the remaining
shares were sold in the United States, TO
persons who wanted to be let in son the
ground floor - in having their money in
vested in an enterprise which promised
to pay so well as the electric sugar re-
finery. The diseoverer of the valuable
OlOOtAiS oOfiCO AOl AOhAlhS sugar 50
cheaplY was Professor Henry G.. Friend
whose death was reported some time ago.
The f1eeced investors now think that
Friend did not die at all and they are on
the lookout for him. In the meantime
his widow and her accomplices are to be
prosecuted, The desire to obtain some
thing for nothing is the thing that makes
swindling so successful in this country,
and those who put their money in the
electric sugar scheme are largely to
blame themselves because of THEN stupid
credulity and greed.

Land Law.
Crosby County News.


In our youth when another lad init
mated to us that we were breeding
scabs, - we knew hostile demonstrations
were near, and we either run, COM
promised or fought, according to our
estimate of the other lads size and
pluck 1t seems to US that Eastern
Texas is now in about that situation with
respect to her plucky little brother,
Western Texas, who has intimated
more than once that she is ''breed-
ing scabs. - Ever since the dema-
gogue doctrine of educating the
children of Eastern Texas with revenue
derived from the school land of Western
Texas, and of perpetuating it by the
lease system, became statute law, suf-
fering Western Texas has warned her
eastern neighbors of the wrong perpe-
trated and has prayed for deliyeranee.
So far it has not come. Our legislature
meets again this winter and once more
an appeal for relief goes up from West
eFn Texas. In consideration of her
answer Eastern Texans viii do well to
love vengeance, and that the day
is approaching when Western
Texas win be able pay back in Xxi nd.
The present law is not just to any
interest is neither ''fish nor fowl
hermaphrodite offspring that favers
neither parent, and retards, instead of
advancing the interests of the section of
state il was made for. Not a citizen of
Western Texas endorses the law as it is,
the price is too high, the condi-
tions too onerous and too many,
the idea of leasing q section to-
day and caneelling it tomorrow is IN
just, and the seeming cheapness of the
land is sham and an oppression to raise
tuition money for the penurious patriot
of Eastern Texas. Let it be amended.

Study her grace.
Lips like a cherry
Cheeks like a rose
How could help it
Do you suppose?
Eyes like yon fair skies,
Tender and blue;
Clearer than crystal,
Aye, and so true;
No one could doubt them,
Merry or sad;
Something about them
Makes the heart glad.
Why do 1 love herr
You would not ask
If in her beauty
Once you could bask;
Not her cheeks roses,
Not her lips red
Something besides this
Moves one instead.
Not for her beauty

Not for her riches;
Wealth she has none;
Prizing her fond heart
More than mere pelf,
Dearly / love her,
And just for herself
