IT has been very llreSome to
read all this bosh in the daiIies
about young Cox, the 15~year old
son of Gov. Cox, being so anxious
to get to Tracy City before the
racket is over, and taste the real
thing" 1t is always praise worthy
to he ready and willing to assist in
upholding the law, but such
reasons as impeI young Cox are
nauseating. If Mr.. Cox. Jr., wants
to have crack at somebody, and is
afraid that he wont get chance at
Tracy City. it might be well for
someone to poura few in his di"
rection, not, however, with tue in
teution OF hitting him or anybody
else. 1t is very possible he would
lose his thirst for the gore of the
union immediately. However, lei
him alone, Tor he will get over this
this youthful exuberance 1t il
suggested that he institute a sort o
Sherlock Holmes chase for tn,
murderers OF Rust and henly, anc
let the union alone.

COMMENT still continues regaru-

is TOO much for us to believe, for

Of the union are honest, Intelligent,

is not an un American idea, Tor

TO our condition. We must pro
gress, not retrograde, nor even re-
main stationary. And we must be
free. not sink into serfdom.
That the union authorized or
sanctioned the killing of Rust and
Henlv is nor credible. II was the
work of some misguided individ
uals, possessed of tie same degree
of fanaticism which moves to re
ligious persecution.
That the union has made mis-
takes is evident, but can the Goa
operators, say that they are ire
proachable. 1t would have beer
better. lar better, if Gov. Cox be

The Spirit Of Texas.
(Houston Post.

Some people occasionally criticise
the spirit of Texas and assert that we
are not progressive and that the state
could be rapidly settled if liberal po-
icy were maintained There is no oc-
cassion for pessimism At the present
rate Of growth the population of the
state will be more than 100, 900 by the
close of this century. 1t is better to
progress steadily at reasonable rate
than to fill the state up at once We
must assimilate our population and
bring it in harmony with our institu-
lions and our economic system. Our
civilization will be more secure and
our industries more stable if we move
along steadily and guard against the
great dangers which are already
threatening other commonwealth.
Our only labor problem is that we
have not enough. This is embarress-
ing, but it is better not to have enough
than to have too much of the sort that
has been playing havoc in other parts
of the country. The English Ian
guage is the language of Texas. 1t is
not necessary for the inhabitants of
Texas to speak dozen tongues in or
der to conduct their industries.
Our government is clean and econo-
mical Taxation is low. The people
get more for their taxes than do the
people of other states. Living is
cheaper than anywhere else in the
country We have all the soils ant
climates of the productive regions Of
the earth.
Altogether, we should feel gratife(
at the progress we are making. There
are some unsatisfactory conditions
but it is fact that as people we ar,
getting better. There is no backward
movement and pessimists are few.

lis scarcely railroad in The United
States that would not be better off il 1t

ger" said Judge Albert e. Clarke,
counsel for the Minneapolis &St. Louis
Railroad, at the hearing before the
senate railroad commission on Senator
II. II. Peterson's bill abolishing
passes and fixing maximum passen-
ger rate at 2 cents per mile.
Judge Clarke argued that the aver
age cost OF Transporting one passen.
ger one mile on all lines OF the Minne-
sapolis & st. Louis running into Minnc-
sofa IS 2.oo cents, and that the average
revenue is I.o3 cents. The average
cost on the Minneapolis & st. Lopis ii,
Minnesota, he said, is ~ cents per
mile, mile and the average revenue Los
cents. ~
+ The hearing lasted two hours and
was largely attended. Senator Peter
son made a strong plea for the bill,
maintaining that his intention was to
be absolutely fair to the railroads as
well as TO the public. Representatives
sof several of the railroads argued
against the a-cent fare provision, but
none OF them protested against the
anti-pass feature.

stary Hay. an incident which, despite
the frequency of its occurrence always
sets afioat peace ru1nors The visit
of Count Cassini. Russian ambassador,
a half hour later, brought reassurarces
that the war was to go on TO the end. =
Although diplomatic representatives
do not speculate as 10 the prospects Of
ending the war iii the far east. the As
sociated Press learns that widespread
belief prevails that Washington stands
good chance Of being the capital
through which Japan and Russia would
adjust their differences, 1t is believed
that Russia would welcome the selec-
.tion Of Washington as the place, be-
cause of the presence here Of Count
Cassiili, who we'll knows the eastern sitz
uation and because Of his long acqiiaiilA
tance with Secretary. Hay, and because
he is dean Of the diplomatic corps and
Russian ambassador II is thought
that Japan would not oppose the selec-
tion Of Washington as the scene Of open
ing peace negotiations Her minister is
popular and for some time has enjoyed
a personal acquaintance with Secretary
Hay upon whom he is at liberty to call
even when the secretary is at hrs resi-
dence.
