CAUGHT On THE VIZ.

Mr.. 5. r. b. Morse; 81 want to say
that even All you have heard does not ex-
press the great possibilities Of this state.
The people Of Texas themselves do not
realize what they possess. Il could not be
told IL they talked until doomsday. The
people OF North Texas have a man In their
midst whom doubt u being appreciated
Ne wears an international reputation. IL
is Prof. 4. U. Munsen OF Denison, who
has devoted his talents TO the grape in
dustry. prof Munsen has told the world
that some day Texas viii be the greatest
VINEYARD in the world lie VIII work with
that end in view.
.rhe hot wind OF Chicago ana the cold
wind OF Texas must meet and when TWO
irresistible forces come together something
must happcn The cold must succumb %
the heat aud Chicago must come % Texas.
The manufacturing world IS seeking the
nome OF tile raw product and I predict that
Chicago VIII some day come TO Texas for

am impressed by the loyalty which the
people of Texas feel for their state, for
their country and for their municipality.
This loyalty is simply remarkable. We
have no such civic pride in the North as
is evidenced here. The people are too
much engrossed with their own Affairs to
give much attention to the public good
and II they had the same spirit OF your
people we would have accomplished a good
deal more for our country. The striking
feature about Texas Is its yastness YER
sitility from q crop standpoint, and its
manufacturing possibilities when capital is
awakened The resources Of the state Is
lust becoming known TO Its people and
those OUTSIDE 1t Is only necessary for this
