GERMAN loSt as IN very pad latin
on the part of the editor of the Post
His article will do more harm and
throw more discord, cause more bad
feeling, impede immigration and,
hurt the business men of Waco more
than q thousand such editorials like
the one complained OF by the Post in
THE EVENING News.
Let the citizens OF Waco set down
on such efforts on the part Of the
editor of the Post, to produce bad
feeling, we want harmony; we want
good people; We want business and if
the Post has any circulation such
measures will do us much harm The
editor of the Post expects business
from business men. Now let him do
something to bring that business
rather than drive it away from us
We want immigration, but we do not
want people who are paupers, buns,
or anarchists; we want people of
intelligence, industry, and would
prefer that they bring some capital,
some money. The agricultural immi-
grants who come to this country, also
the mechanical classes are an advan
tage but our immigration doors have
always been to wide open, admitting
the very scums Of the old country and
by this reason keeping back the hon
est, desirable and intelligent laborers
and farmers, who would come to this
country to rid themselves of such
people, and do US good.
BUYING WATER WORKS I'VE hearth
ly commend the city council for their
wisdom in even failing to consider the
proposition to buy water works, or
to sprinkle the streets. There are
but two thing which would Justify the
CITY council in making investments or
going in debt at this time, is to build
| sewerage.
To KEEP OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM We
doubt very seriously the wisdom Of
any street paving at this Vine, unless
the money was Of easy access. Still
we have today set Of aldermen as a
whole in whom the citizens of Waco
have great confidence md we should
stand by them and feel no uneasiness.
OUR SCHOOL TRUSTEES up to
this time the action of the board so far
as we know has been wise and for the
good Of Waco. A rigid examip alton
should be had and any "pets" without
any other qualifications should be
promptly rejected remembering that
the schools of Waco are not chart.

for the benefit of the people. Now is
the time OF al times for our new
superintendent to see that "efficieno y
be the rule and the "trimmors'
should be freely used where needed
Get the idea? Let no one dictate
qualifications.
FINANCIAL The CAUSE, THE
Rem EDY.-Why is money hard tc
get2
Icy. Because money is very SEN
sitive thing; like rat peeping out o
his hole. the least noise he darts back
The withdrawal of gold from America
produced suspicion, and destroyed con
fidence Those who could live
whether they drew revenue or no,
said: awe will simply allow our
money to lay in the banks and vaults
until the storm is over" we can live
any way This resulted in banks moi
being able to get money and the pc O.
pie could not get money if the banks
could not. The results werc as We
see; many bank failures.

is saving money to visit fhe Word
Fair. There has been no rush yet
but Just think 1t cost from 800 tt

Suppose 500 people visit Chicago
from Waco territory; who are today
