Del Rio Record: The Texas
Harpoon, that monstrosity of al
legged humor, publishes three
column "Talk to Sam Jones, (Which
it says never has been in print. 1t
was an article the Record printed
about two months previously,
about railwaylmatter.
Globe Democrat: SPANS prem
Ter, in speaking Of the "correct
and energetic action OF the United
States government" in intercept
ing volunteers and supplies from
this country to the Cuban insur-
gents, grasps the situation. 1t is
the United States government, and
not Spain, which keeps Cuba un-
der Spanish rule. II this govern
ment were to look the other way
for a few months the Spanish flag
would be swept off the island.
Fort Worth Gazette: Colonel
Henry Gillum, who wants to start
a daily newspaper in Fort Worth,
told the gentlemen with whom he
conferred about the matter that he
did not consider the associated
press dispatches necessary to a
f1rst-class morning daily. Colonel
Gillum has been making some val
liable journalistic discoveries while
beating around the brush in East
Texas, soaring mp land title evil
dence.
Yoakum Graphic: "The colonist
Negroes in Durango have about
got their owners into the notion of
issuing an emancipation proclama-
ton. Well, they will feel big, sure
enough, then-having been twice
set free. Their "inflooence" may
possibly have a tendency to make
the home brother think before he
leaps again into the dark. II the
first one arriving home is able to
stand up, he might make a start
by lecture tour in the South"
New Orleans States: "The fling
of a demurrer in the case of the
Louisiana club was a move on the
part Of the social clubs to test the
Sunday law, on the ground that
such clubs are not places for public
business conducted with the
view of profit. 1t is safe, however,
that the courts will hold that the
social clubs have no more right to
sell liquor than the barrooms. II
the courts should decide otherwise,
then the number Of social clubs
which will be organized will simp.
ly startle the public"
Beeville Bee: The Arkansas Har-
Dor Herald thinks that the M. X.
& T. and the Rock Island railways
will seek an outlet to Arkansas
Pass in the near future. The pre-
sumption is not altogether without
reason. These railroads reach far
down into the state from the north
and must necessarily seek an out
let to the sea sooner or later. That
they haven't done so before is evil
dence that their objective point
has been Arkansas Pass, and now
that 1t is to be improved and there
is no doubt about 1t, the extension
OF these roads is reasonably sure.
Galveston News; The loss in
wages Of striking Illinois miners
for the past year was $1,693,9l0,
making the average loss to each
individual 1920. Only 1875 per
cent Of the men who struck re-
ceived better wages after the
strike, the other S7.4 per cent re-
turning to work without gaining
any increase in wages or changed
conditions Of employment. OF
course the wages of the walking
trouble makers and masters who
ordered tho strikes and caused the
trouble must be added to these
losses.
Fort Worth Gazette: "If reason.
able expectation is fulfilled there
will be more homeseekers in Texas
this fall than have come in any
season since 1880. A large number
Of them will, of course, attend the
state fair. 1t will afford the best
opportunity that has been offered
for many years for live COM
munity that has strong induce
ments to offer to settlers to adver.
tise that fact. The people of Dallas
