The Dust.
Editor NEWS.

EultOr NEWS.
In yesterdays Issue "Physician"
published an article advocating
street sprinkling, which should be
we'll considered by the citizens of
Waco. 1t is true that Waco has
much to attract people. 1t
is true that, as a health
resort, our city is rapidly gaining
pre- .eminence. Many are coming
and going, hence benefited and
singing the praises of Waco and her
waters.
Specialists are being attracted to
locate here. They are advertising,
by means of their successes, so ex,
tensively, that the fame of Waco is
widening every day. Now, is it
not reasonable that the city authori.
ties should take under advisement
and apply careful attention to this
one subject which transcends all
others? We must admit that the
dust is terrible. There is not a
town of any proportion in Texas
where it is so bad. Yes; let the
matter be talked up until syste
matte plan of street sprinkling be
inaugurated. X.

THE REVIVAL.
Many Strong Men and BackSliderS are
Reached and Awakened.

When the religion of Jesus can
soften the human heart and smooth
down ruff ID feelings SO that strong
men punctually confess their wrong
doings against each other, and lay
aside bitterness of feeling and make
friends over long standing grudge,
there must be some power in it.
The revival at the First Baptist
church continues under the bless.
ings of God to widen and deepen in
its influence.
The meeting last night was better
than its predecessors. Many of the
leading business men arr interested
az never before. Come now and
let us reason together sayeth the

Mr.. Frank Mesa is making trip
through Texas seeking a location
for a, cigar mandatory. He is
stopping at the Palmo where he
would be glad TO confer with any
public spirited citizen. In num-
Der Of places, and in various sections
of Texas, the fact has been fully
demonstrated that very fine grade
of tobacco can be raised within her
borders. Waco offers many in
ducements, naturally, to MIR. Mesa,
but will her property holders and
capitalists offer any? Near Waco
tobacco can be raised which, by its
flavor, would surprise connoiseur.

Chief Justice Robinson Presided Over n

Chief Justice Robinson Presided Over u
Session of Superior Court in This City,
fcstertlny--App in the Best of
Health aud Spirits.
Chief Justice Robinson appeared in
the superior court yesterday morning,
and was apparently in the best of
health. He seemed in an unusually
joyial mood and chatted pleasantly with
many members of the bar. While the
trial list was being gone over jokes
were frequently passed by members of
the bar over the inability of oppos-
ing counsel to go on with cases
on the trial list, some claim
ing that their clients were dead,
while in one instance a member said his
client was dead Financially and he
"didn't know where the money to try
the case was to come from" ii. II.
Ward stated that although one of his
cases had been in existence long time,
all he had gotten from his client was Il
turkey, whereupon Chief Justice Rob-
inson convulscd the members with
laughter by saying that the learned
counsel had better take the case up now
and get another turkey.
Yesterday morning the court adopted
resolutions upon the death of the late
Chief Justice Comcgys. After speeches
had been made eulogistic of the de-
ceased jurist by George II. Bates and
Edward G. Bradford, Chief Justice Rob
iuson put the motion to adopt the reso-
lutions and ordered them spread upon
the court records. His remarks upon
the death of Justice Comegys appeared
in these columns yesterday.
AT II O'Clock Chief Justice Robinson
nodded to Court Crier Smith to adjourn
court until Monday morning at 10
o'clock. These were the last official
words delivered by the Chief Justice
and when the sound of his voice had
died away the members of the bar had
taken their departure and the court
room was again vacant. When ap.
preached by representative of EVERY
| EVENING few moments later, ChieI
| Justice Robinson was the same genial
| person he has been since he took his
seat on the bench and courteously gave
the newspaper man the information de
| sired. He then passed out of the dool
leading to the Judges chamber, the dool
he was never again to enter
Since his appearance on the bench
the Chief Justice very fayorably i'm
pressed the members Of the bal, especially
in his charges to the jury. His las
charge to the jury was in the case O
Butler Ford VS.. the Charles Warne,
Company, a charge which lawyers gene
rally conceded to be nm able prcsenta
ton of the facts and the law touching
the case. He frequently quoted from
the language of Chief Justice Comegyl
in this case, and ever showed II DISPOSE
ton to follow in the footsteps OF hi
learned predecessor. 1t is considered
strange coincidence that almost the las
words spoken by Chief Justice Robin
son in the county court house wer,
concerning the late Chief justice
Comegys, and his earnest desire t.
initiate that iurist in his future otllcia
career.

THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE.
Alfred p. Robinson was appointed to
the Chief Justiceship by Governor
Reynolds January 26th last, to succeed
Joseph 7. Comegys, now deceased, who,
with Associate Justice Houston, re-
signed at the request Of the Legislature
because of physical incapability.
Alfred 7. Robinson was born in
Georgetown, Del, February 18th, 1912,
and was admitted to the Sussex bar in
April, 1868. He began practice as his
fathers partner and continued alone
after the latter's death, in 1866.
In 1919 he was clerk of the State
