owe us for fve years or more, and to these
we say that If their accounts are not paid

wish to carry any point indirect agen-
cies are generally more potent than
direct. 1t is my opinion that super
intendents can accomplish many de-
sired results through judicious use
OF the local press.
The fatal error with many of us is
our fear of being stigmatized as poll
ticians. We too frequently shirk our
duty by not expressing our opinions
freely on subjects of vital Importance.
We fear the unpopular side of the
question, and thus in our fear of be-
coming politicians of the more COM
mendable class we for policy sake re-
main silent, and as result become
politicians in the more Objectionable
sense and in the common acceptation
of the term.
The idea is that we should map out
a policy and continue to work in that
direction. / think the history of the
Ohio teachers association in their eff
forts to obtain State superintendent,
or Commissioner as they term it,
would prove profitable to all of us.
In order to convince the people and
the legislature OF the benefits to be
derived from such an Office the associ-
alton assumed the responsibility of
appointing a state commissioner,
whose duty it should be to visit the
different counties, inspect their
schools, make suggestions, organize
county institutes, lecture the teachers
and the people; in short to use every
means to awaken an interest in edu.
cational matters.
The State association had to main
tain, by gratuitous contributions, this
office for several years. But it event
ually bore fruit, and the people, after
seeing the benefits to be derived, de-
manded of the legislature the creation
by law of the Office of state superin-
tendent. And though the school sys-
tenn of the State is not today what it
should be, yet it is indebted to this
move for its present advancement.

month bids fair to be a most import
ant one, and much interest is being
taken in it all over the land.

that he intends making an exhibit:

Exhibits, Austin, Tex:
Ny Dear Sir-In reply to yours of

est and systematic manner in which
Austin is handling the arrangements
for the entertainments of the American
horticultural society while lii your
city.
Hon. L. L. Foster has done the
right thing in devoting the rooms of
agricultural department of the capitol
to an exhibition. By his ability and
foresight, backed by the citizens OF
Austin and the state at large, Texas
will eclipse any other state in which
such a meeting has been held.
l shall endeavor to send in a dis
play of nursery stock.
1 shall also urge upon our citizens
to do all in their power to aid the ex-
hibit. There has never before been
such a grand opportunity for Texas to
make herself known over the United
States to the best class of cultivators
Of the soil. Sincerely,

A Successful Raid Causes Serious Loss TO a

Burglars have been working the
town for several nights now, and they
have desire to enter and rob private
residences only.
Some time night before last the
residence of Elder j. B. Pinkerton
was entered and Sc stolen.
On the same night the residence of
a family in moderate circumstances,
neai Mr.. Sam De Cordova's, was en-
tered and nearly 500 of hard earn
ings were carried off.
1t behooves citizens to be on the
watch out about their premises and
officers of the police force should be
on the alert and promptly yank up
suspicious characters loafng around
premises where they have no business.

When death shall set her free
From poor, sick woman's misery.

The Living VS.. the Dead.

Special Correspondence to the Statesman
LooKHART Tex. January %.
Editor Statesman
Some weeks ago you said in sub
stance that, instead of building mon
uments of marble over the bodies of
our dead heroes, we should help the
living whom misfortune had thrown
upon our charity, and then proceeded
to urge the claims Of the Confederate
Soldiers Home at Austin.
Every true Texan must admire the
zeal with which you advocate the
claims of that institution, and with
you agree that our first duty is to
provide for the wants of the homeless
and helpless Confederate soldier.
Among the many defects
in our present State con-
stitution it seems that no sub
stantial aid can be given them
by appropriations from the treasury
and they cannot wait for a change in
the organic law. Many OF them must
have relief now or never.
We should not discourage the cree
ton of monuments to commemorate
the heroic deeds of those who have
made our history glorious. On the
contrary, we think this has been too
long and shamefully neglected in
Texas.
No state in the union has such a
history. None can present such list
of heroes and statesmen, and no state
has done so little to honor its noble
dead.
Jefferson Davis belongs to the South
and his remains should find a resting
place at Richmond, the capital of the
Southern Confederacy, while every
Southern state should erect a monu-
ment to his memory atits capital suit
ably inscribed.
In Texas such monument should
stand up proudly beside one each
erected to the memory of Houston,
Austin, Rusk, Albert Sidney Johnston
and host of other heroes and states
men, and upon them all the youths Of
Texas would look with profit and
pride.
No; let the marble shafts go up as
soon as possible, but do not forget the
immediate and pressing necessities of
the old Confederate soldier.
The STATESMAN has made
many valuable suggestions and
if perfect success has not
crowned its efforts to swell the
fund sufficient to support the old vet
Grams the failure cannot be laid at its
door.
1 cannot believe that there is a
lack of desire or ability in the people
of Texas to create at once q necessary
permanent fund for this purpose. In
my judgment concert of action is all
that is Necessary to secure success. If
the people were requested to assemble
in the several counties on the same
day for the purpose of doing all they
can for the Home and were assured
that the movement was a general one
throughout the state they would re-
spond as they have never done be-
fore.
Let the press throughout the stat
and every Confederate camp in Texas
join in the appeal, beginning with the
press and the John B. Hood camp at
Austin.
Appoint the fourth, day of July for
the work, day that every true Con-
federate soldier shonld love to cele-
brate.
Let us have regular Fourth Of
July celebration, barbecue, patriotic
speeches and reunions. Get the peo-
pie together, let them talk the matter
over and the work will be done. Very
traly yours, L. j. STOREY.
My back aches! l am SO tired !
