this country into Canada where there
is splendid farm land 10 be found. West
ern newspapers point out that this
movement will be checked and never re-
peated once the irrigation plans of the
government are carried into effect The
Canadians do not think so and claim the
virgin soil OF which there is very large

of our own West. There has ever been
noticeable in this country a spirit OF un-
rest among the young and the Canadian
emigration Is but a symptom or the
continuance Of tA4s feeling There can be
no permanent emigration from this coun-

Wants Stringent Divorce Laws.

Auburn, Texas, March l0.-The
candidates for representative were
with US last week, together with "a
lot of others, and the house was fill
ed with eager and attentive listen
ers. Messrs Alderdice, Gibbons and
James told us what they would do
or try to do If they were sent to
Austin, and Messrs Fears and
Hemphill gave an account of their
stewardship. Most of the discussion
was confined to the lease law and
the proposition to raise the age of
consent. The sympathies of the
candidates seem to go out for the
young girls of the state, which is all
well enough, but there is another
class of girls which should be pro-
teeted. We should have a more
stringent divorce law. Just think
of our courts diyorcing from fifty to
hundred couples each year. A
promident attorney tells ne that di-
vorce suits require more OF the
courts time than any other one class
of cases. Still we claim to be a
christian nationl We are command
ed to put away evil from among MS,
and is this not a growing evil? II is
becoming alarming, and yet our
ministers fail to denounce ii from
the pulpit. / do think that the
churches throughout the state
should silence those pastors guilty
of marrying divorced couples. We
are told that no adulterer shall in
herit the kingdom OF heaven, ard
we believe any minister who mar
ries divorced people to be guilty
Of a gross crime. We believe that
the people should demand a divorce
statute similar to the South Caro-
lima law and refuse to support any
man for the legislature who will not
pledge himself to use his influence
to secure the passage of such law.
Respectfully,

TO CARE FOR THE VETERANS.
Neighboring Towns Should AS
sist Dallas i'm Accommodate
Ing the Visitors.

Only a few weeks remain before
the annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans will be held
in Dallas and that hustling city at
the head of the Trinity is beginning
to realize the fact that she has gone
up against pretty stiff proposition
in the matter of accommodating all
the veterans who will attend. There
is every reason to believe that the
attendance this year will be very
great, perhaps larger than for sew
eral years. The entertainment COM
mittee makes the statement that
Dallas will have ten or fifteen
thousand people more than she can
accommodate with sleeping facili-
ties. A proposition looking to the
care of some of the visitors by
neigboring towns is being discussed.
The idea is not a bad one and 1t
should be encouraged. Waxahachie
should be one of the first towns to
take some steps TO assist her neigh
Dor in providing accommodations for
old soldiers from the eastern states.
The railroads are generous and
they have signified their willingness
to run special trains between Dali
las and those towns that will pro-
vide sleeping accommodations for
the surplus visitors.
Time is short and what is going
to be done must be done at once.

PROPOSITION NOT ACCEPTED
The international Insists on Hav-

From some source, unknown to
the members of the executive COM
mittee, rumor has gone out that
the International had accepted the
proposition Of the committee offer
ing cash bonus of $4,000 for the
road.
Mr.. f. p. Hawkins, secretary of
the executive committee, was seen
by representative of the LIGHT
this morning with reference to the
rumored acceptance. Hr. Hawkins
said that he did not know by whose
authority the statement was made
as the committee had not yet sub
mitted the offer of a cash bonus TO
the officials of the road.
In reference to the cash PROPOSE
tion Mr.. Hawkins said 1t had not
and would not be accepted. The Of
ficials have been written with refer
ence to cash bonus and Mr.. Haw-
kins has received letter from Gen
eral Manager Triee, saying that no
such proposition would be enter
tanned. Mr.. Trice insists on the
original proposition, that of the citi-
zens of Waxahaehie procuring and
donating the right of way from the
Fort Worth extension te and through
waxahaehie and depot grounds In
/ the city. That is where the matter
stands al present and it remains tor
the people of Waxahaehie to say
whether or not they want the road.
