The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1900-04-25
EXCHANGE INTERVIEWS.


Nearly all the newspapers that are bowling
about The Houston Post boiling the demo-
cratic 60 primary in Houston are proverbial
boilers and boted the ticket in 1872 ana also
in 1896. These newspapers are not very non
est In their endeavors to make bolting
felony by the democratic party They are
only Jealous OF the popularity and strength or
the great Post-Georgetown Commercial,
The criticisms lately "howled" against The
Post have only come from few ill-tempered
and interpreate friends of Senator Chiffon,
The Post has felt a certain degree Of pity for
them under all tho circumstances and has
only answered their baseless rawlings in
kindly and general way. There are too many
clear headed representatives. OF the Texns
press like the Georgetown Commercial, to
understand and expose the real animus OF
these narrow little papers, to render IL neces-
sary for The Post to elbow Its own horn"
or explain the why's and wherefores' in
elaborate detail in the premises. In the
meantime the discussion hurts no one and
only adds to the gaety of the hour. 49,

This awakening of Texas Is being watched
/ in tho financial cehters OF the country and
such friendly interest is now taken by Eastern
capitalists in propositions to invest their
money In Texas that some representative
Texans In New York have outlined a plan
by which they hope to fully inform capitalists
upon the changed condtions.El Paso Her

As The Post has all along predicted, outside
capital will be anxious enough to come in
and ask for a slice of the cake when 1t sees
home capital showing Its faith in our adj
Vantages by its works. In the meantime,
however, Texas nor its public sentiment have
changed in the least, except that the latter

have the same dominant political party, the
same laws regulating Investments, the same
resources and tho same spirit toward capital,
home or foreign that we have had for years.
1t would be poetic justice now II home capital
would pre-empt the most promising fields
and hold them.
| II IL only a matter of n short time until
our people will be forced to build additional
rooms to the old school buildings as they
stand: We now have four rooms overcrowd-
ed, the teacher can't work neither can the
child, In hot, crowded little room.--McCul-
ioch County Enterprise.
| There Is tho right kind of development
more children, forcing, public improvements!
Don't let the children either in number or
age, outgrow school facilities. We need lots
| OF moro men and women In Texas, but we
need to have them educated progressive citi-
zens. No State In the American Union has
less excuse for cramped school houses or an
illterate population than Texas,

| Press.
| Not oven the string is necessary TO unmask
the hollowness OF the republican professions
or action In the premises. We have anti
trust laws on the Federal statute book now,
but Mr., Mckinley and his attorney general
have not even tried to enforce them. In
fact, the attorney general has boldly ex-
pressed his dislike OF and contempt for such
laws.

That man VIII be John t. Morgan. Alabama

so long, ana the senator has reelected such
luster upon his State, that no men could have
beaten THE old war horse in the recent cam-
paign, let the issues have been, inside the
democratic family, what they might SEN
