The Galveston Dutch

As the Dutch have reclaimed the
Netherlands from the sea the citizens
of Galveston are working to build their
town-site above the ocean. The
Dutch built walls or dykes and drained
the salt marshes. The citizens of
Galveston are taking the sand from the
bottom of the Gulf and piling it up on
again Galveston. 1t is a heroic anG
brave undertaking. If they are as
brave and persistent as the Dutch and
as willing to spend money, there is no
reason why they should not succeed.
In their efforts they have the good will
and encouragement of the whole cOun-
try. Though when it comes to loaning
money because they are brave. hope
full and enterprising, bravery. hopeful
ness and enterprise are not assets that
the money loaners are willing to ac-
cept.

over an article that recently appeared

at rest the minds of the disputants IL
may be stated that Mr.. Richards had
no intimatiOn or knowledge that the
article was to be published nor did
any representative of the Courier dis
cuss the subject with Mr.. Richards.
What il printed was well authenticat-
ed gossip in political circles, and the
denial by Mr.. Schneider of certain
statements therein in no wise changes
its belief in the truthfulness of what
was printed. Mr.. Richards has re-
peatedly and to divers persons stated.
as Mr.. Hammond says. that Mr.
Schneider has not kept faith with him.
Whether this is true or not is a ques-

there are others besides Mr.. Richards
who testify against Mr. Schneider in
this dispute.
