The republican bosses In Wisconsin are

SAM HousroS's GRAVE.
The Citizens of Huntsville are wnie
fully preserving His Tombstone

To the Editor OF The Post.
Huntsville. Texas, June lit was Win
a feeling OF surprise and deep distress tha'
we read a letter from Mrs. Katherine b.
Huston in your last Sundays issue con-
corning a matter OF greatest Importance
to Huntsville people especially whiie' no
doubt, Texans generally are more or less
interested. We should like through your
paper TO correct one or two things In Mrs.
Huston's letter, which we feel conhdeat
she was honest in expressing, but, never
theless, wrong.
Quoting from her letter, she says.
Curious as to the answer they would
give me, | asked them the first object Of
interest In their town, aud with prlde tney
pointed 10 their great. grim prison--one Of
the largest In the United States, they tell
me. And though asked perhaps dozen,
not one OF them mentioned the OBJECT OF
my quest"
Now, We should like to know Just to
whom her inquiry was addressed surely
not to representative citizen, for to such
one she would have had pointed out to
her not the grim prison, although that is
certainly one object cof interest. but the
Sam Houston Normal institute
mark the name. What nobler, more worthy
work OF man could possibly be erected to
perpetuate the memory Of our heroic gen
eral and statesman?
It is true that the pen portrait and en-
craving Of the last resting place of Cen
eral Sam Houston as presented in The
Post Is a correct one, except the one refer
ring to the path overrun with creepers.
and we beg to say there is not better
kept cemetery anywhere than right here
in Huntsville, and General Ilouston's
grave Is in plain view from the road But
this modest white marble slab was put
there by the express wishes of the fam
lily of sons and daughters of General
Houston. Can even the great State of
Texas essay a greater claim to any man
than his own children?
But we claim that no monument could
attain the Importance that our normal
has, by virtue Of the fact that in this
way hundreds of young Texans are thrown
yearly in constant contact with the very
life of Houston, which no granite. marble
or any other monument of mere stone
could bring about. From the west vim
dows Of this noble building can he seen
the old homo of General Houston; from the
north window can be seen over the hills
of Huntsville the cemetery whore his
ashes lie; around the building are constant
reminder of that valiant statesman. What
greater honor could be given him? Very
truly, Laura z. Robinson.

TIE SPANISH LANGUAGE.
why Ii should He Taught I'm Our
Public schools.


TO the Editor Of The Post.
have been requested to write an
article for The Post regarding the use OF
the Spanish language.
viii not endeavor to enumerate all It's
manifold advantages as that would UNI
doubtedly take up too much space.
Spanish is at the present time an in
dispensable accomplishment and will be-
come an absolute necessity In the near
future.
Heretofore tho American people were
satisfied with the knowledge OF their own
language. but since our late relations with
the Spanish countries the spirit OF ac-
QUESTION has taken possession OF our peo-
pie. This is not surprising when we see
the great advantages now lying before us.
Our trade Is extended throughout these
Spanish speaking countries such as Mex
leo. Cuba, Porto Rico. Philippines, etc.
We have az this present time young men
who keenly feel their inability OF speak
Ing this language and who have been
