Let Texas Grow Fat.
From san Antonio Light.

Il rom san antonio Light.
Texas never was in a better condi-
ton to grow than she is today Could
her legislature be bottled up for six
years, her executive mansion closed
for Indefinite seasons, her railroad
commission take recess for dece de
and give the natural advantages of
the state an opportunity to assert
themselves there would be an uplift-
ing of the fair face of old Texas that
would make every lover of the Lone
Star glad. Nature has bad to fight
the politics OF The state st every turn
for years. Capital to develop the nat
ural resources of the state has been
threatened with disabling
legislation until it Is afraid to
say that its soul Is its own. Indus
tries have been taxed because thew
dared to be Industries, until man en-
tering business OF any kind is faced
with fine for his TEN Gritty. All doors
are being closed cave those that open
to restriction, pauperism, bankruptcy,
and all follow In their train. Men
who are satisfied to earn their bread
and meat and good clothes at remun-
erative wages are threatened with the
vengeance OF the gallery-gods of Ia
Dor unless they put on the collar of
these gods and march as captives in
their triumphant train. Everywhere
tue uanu Vi cOoTclOH Is l8iQ, ana eYery-
where the face OF nature lifts itself
smilingly from the dust in protest
against the degrading conditions i'm
posed upon those who would assist her
in making the state marvel OF pros
perity. Grand old Texas Is too large
and free and offers too many advanta-
ges to be knocked out of the box even
by all these disabilities, but what use
is there in handicappipg her In this
fashion? Let her have room accor-
ding to her strength aud meet the
measure OF her opportunities This is
all that is asked by her friends, all
that Is needed to accomplish the most
wonderful results, but this Is what the
politicians and the agitators who live
on the miseries of others and grow fat
on ill-timed conditions have covensn-
ted to prevent. II will not be ALWAYS
that their work of repression will last.
For the good time coming when Labor
will be emancipated and come of age
to speak for Itself, all of US, who are
not wearers of collars and oathbound
slaves, will devoutiy pray and labor.

IT is 81 i'd that influenza has caused
the establishment OF new Industry in
Paris. NothinR, of course, is much
more aggravating to hostess than to
have carefully planned and we'll
balanced little dinner party spoiled at
the last moment by the sudden de-
fec ton of one or more of the invited
guests. The grip, as is we'll known, is
no respscter OF persons, and often
makes havoc of social festivities by
suddenly incapacitsting some person of
special Importance to the entertain
ment. An observant and ingenious
Freedman has now started an agency
whose object it Is to supply at a
moments notice substitute for the
missing guest. It keeps In stock, so to
speak, large collection CT diuersout,
ar!stocrattc, scientific, literary, hum

occurs at your table, all you have to do
is to indicate how you wish to have it
6lled-with wit, a warrior, an an
ecdOtal bishop, Or what not-and a
first rate specimen of the required
article Is straig delivered in
your drawing room. Princes and
pianists, of course, come high, but
ordinary personages are provided at
very reasonable rates. There is
nothing mythical about the agency, Ia
the existence of it is vouched for.

CONGRESSMAN ALBERT J. Hop
kINS, of the house committee On ways
and means, has a timely article In the
April Forum on The Porto Rican
Relief Bill" Some of the facts he
presents can not be refuted. Mr.
Hopkins maintains that the Porto
Rican bill, which passed the house Of
representatives early in March, has
been much misunderstood, and that it
Is just and meritoriCus measure. He
clearly demonstrates In preparing the
Porto Rican bill the object was to
benefit the Porto R!caus. II con-
gress were giveu the power to legislate
for them in a manner suited to their
conditions, Mr.. Hopkins holds that
they Gao be given larger liberties and
better civilizstlo than they have
heretofore enjoyed, without imperil-
ing any of the safeguards which are q
part OF the inheritance of every Ameri-
can citizen, and without endangerine
the great laboring interests of this
Countrywide glory of the republic.
maintaining that II no other question
were involved in the Porto Rican
bill, not ouiy were the republicans
justified in passing IL in the house, but
their duty to their constituents and
their counsrymen demanded of them
its enactment into Law at the earliest
possible moment.

five were dead or died within a few
