TEXAS AND RAILROADS
HotIvar Wen Have Confidence In thr
Peoples Judgment

y
Peoples Judgment
A prominent railroad official in speakinr
to Post reporter yesterday said;
mo state in the South has such "a in
telligent agricultural people as Taxax. yet
at times there seems TO be an Il linat on
on the part Of some who arc nisted by A
certain class oil politicians to lump OHIO
the railroads
Texas development has been due to
the railroads and there should be no an
tagonism on the part of the people toward
the roads, no matter what the politicians
say. The fact is the railways are doins
more for Texas than for any other state
or Territory NJ State in the South en-
Joys as many and us cheap EXCURSIONS as
we have in Texas. The records show that
every year freight rates have been low
cred On both local and interstate b.s..
ness, and Some lines are moi earning op.
Grating expenses, yet there is a hue and
cry raised by a few politicians that rates
are eXtortonate. II you look al the
great stretches Of country in TEXTS where
nobody lives and dogs bark al strangers
as the boys say. You can readily sse that
the passenger and freight rates in Tex s
ere low enough. Competition among mr.
selves keeps them down.
cat present the railways are eXcrting
every eff,rt to bring both people all CAP
ita to the State and it is to be h37ed the
people and the legislature viii encourage
the work, Any laws which would work
hardships or injustice to the railroad;
Just now would be disastrous to tho State,
II is not the people who are oomrloinns'
It is class of politicians who appeal TO
prejudice and not to reason. hut rafortu-
nately some people believe IN t6eii
sophistry and imagine the railroads. N.
stead OF building up and developing Texas
are frying to ruin the State"

A dose of liniment on Wednesday al
most ended the life of Moses Layton, about
35 years old, of Trenton. The man is a
victim of severe headaches and while in
this city an unusually painful attack
hurried him to the office of DR.. William

scription to have filed at a drug store.
Having secured the lotion, he drank
several ounces instead of applying it to
his head. He was soon after overcome.
A physician who was summoned after
much hard work saved the mans life.
