North are producing such changes
-unquestionably adding to cold
and heat at the respective seasons.
One thing is noticeable, however,
that the absence of such a cause in
the South, or the presence Of the
gulf stream on the coast, Is main
tanning q more equable climate in
this section than further north.
And this is another great induce
ment for those citizens ia other
sections who do not care to be
frozen stiff in winter, or stricken
limp and s~enseless in summer, to
come South and enjoy. life.
Laredo Times: The monument
to confederates in Chicago we hope
is a forerunner for more elsewhere.
The South should not see itself out
done in this spirit OF fraternal kind
ness and we trust many monu-
ments may spring up Throughout
the southern section Of the country
that will commemorate the earnest
patriotism of both the Union and
Confederate soldiers.
Two Republics: The combat Of
flowers, which this year was to
have been held under the auspices
of the city council, has been post
poned to some date yet to be fixed.
This looks like an indefinite post
ponemept and it is a pity if it is so.
The combat of flowers is the poeti-
cal and, in certain circles, the most
enthusiastically celebrated, of
Mexican feasts. There are other
feasts that could better be abandon
ed.
Greenville Headlight: 1t is
now reported that socks are being
made out of paper, and that they
are fine quality and wear well, but
it is still left with Jerry Simpson
to ingurate a scheme that beats
this all hollow.
Denison Herald: A canvass OF
116 members of the next Congress
shows that So are unqualifedly in
favor Of free coinage, A favor bi-
metallism generally with the pro-
viso of an international agreement,
Only seventeen can fairly be
classed as favoring a single gold
standard, and the attitude of some
of these is not definite. The south
and far western states are almost
unanimous for free coinage, the GEN.
trail states lean toward silver, with
international bimetallic qualifica-
tions, and 1t is only in New York,
New England and adjacent eastern
states that there r any avowedly
gold standard men.
Temple Sun: The fourteen pref
tiest country girls in Bell country
will represent the years Of Tenn
Piles existence in the grand floral
presentation Of "The Prairie
Queen" The idea of having the
smaller country towns represented
as maids of honor to the "Queen
City Of the Prairies" is most fit
ting. Temple owes her growth
and prosperity to these rural COM
munities and a representation of
the city's present standing would
be incomplete without showing in
some way the source and strength
OF her greatness.
Waco News: n. w. Quincy will
address the literary societies of
Paul Quinn college tonight.
Though Quincy is classed among
the sable sons OF Africa he missed
being black by a long jump and
his intellect and ability rs a speak
er is Of a high order.
Houston Post: Evidences con.
tinue to multiply that the country
is beginning to look upon the
achievements of both Federal and
Confederate soldiers in the civil
war as a common heritage of Ma.
tional glory. Time is so mellow
ing the fierce light that beat upon
the contestants in the terrible
struggle from 1861 to 1865 that the
people a gaze upon the civil war
as a deplorable fight between
members of the same family-slike

Temple Tribune: Temple is fast
becoming the leading cotton mar
ket in central Texas. or course,
Waco handles more cotton just
now, but the time is coming when
Waco will not lead us to hurt, and
that time is not far distant.
Fort Wort Mail Telegram: Our
neighbor, the Gazette, a short
while back made the boast that it
was the first newspaper in Texas
issued seven days in the week. 1t
can now make the boast that it is
the first newspaper to take the
back track and leave Fort Worth
without a morning paper on Mon
day.
Sherman Register: The many
visitors in the city attending COM
mencement exercises are reminded
