A TREE PLANTING Gospel,

In addition to being a state executive
OF more than ordinary forcefulness
and a man OF unique and striking per-
sonality, the late Governor Hogg nos
sessed large fund Of common sense,
which was manifest in the Injunction
given his children at the time Of his
death to plant at the head Of his grave
pecan tree and at the foot walnut
tree, closing with the following fine
sentiment: When these trees shall
bear let the pecans and walnuts be
given out among the plain people of
Texas, SO that they may plant them
and make Texas land Of trees" This
will doubtless prove a more enduring
memorial Of the man than the wealth
he accumulated or the political honors
which be won.

1t has net been explained to us,

electric light plant, neither what
knowledge can be attributed 10 the
voters in plcbescitc prepared by
our praetors In order to decide whe
thcr or act the municipality ought to
construct an electric light plant.
Why have our praetors not given
greater publicity to the proposed
|plebiscite, and asked at the same
time if the inka bitants of this city
are satisfied with the transferring of
municipal properties, with the prim-
tive condition Of many of the the-
|roughfares in the City and in such
an important suburb as Santurce, ans
why have they not also asked for IAN

ers touching the municipalization Of

they have been implanted, have prov

EDITORIAL

It has new occurred to our ediles
to have a plebiscite, in order to in
volvc-in measure the country in
the great scheme OF the municipal
electric lighting plant.
And as is the case with pretty
much everything undertakes by our
praetors, it is wished to hurry it, to
do it within fifteen days, as if delay
were feared, Or perhaps, already eve
rything has beed arranged by the de-
tenders of the municipal project for
having the blcbiscitc result in accor-
dance with their desires.
With reason, the League Of Pro
|Prietors has protested against thc
inexplicabls haste of our edilcs; ff :
teen days is not sufficient time fer
those opposed to municipal indus
trial ization TO MARSHAL their suppor-
tiers, to cosRteract the work Of slee-
tioAecriRg whick no doubt the parti-
sans of the project have effected.
The holding of a plebescite under
the conditions conceived by our city
fathers, is inadmissable.
What is it that is sought to be
found sut by this course7 What is
hoped to be attained, what is it pre-
tended to justify2
Done thus, by surprise, prepared
quietly, utilizing all the rssouces at
thc command Of municipal csrpo-
ration, plebiscite would have no
real significance, even if it should re-
suit favorably for the partisans of
tke municipaliaation of the public
services.

With my mind full of Elsie, wandered out
after dusk, across the road to the gate of The
Elms, where l stood gazing longingy down the
avenue, feeling that l was at least so much
nearer to her and the happiness that the sight
of her brought to me
AS | watched the house which loomed up
dimy through the trees, l suddenly became
aware of dark shadow moving slowly across
the lawn. Startled, peered through the gate;
and again the shadow crossed the skyline
With my mind full Of the events of the morn

side of the trees which bordered the avenue,
/ made my way silently towards the lawn.

came to my mind, "and yet, till tomorrow,

But relief came quickly There was sound
of window opening in the house; | caught a
dim view of white figure standing against the
light now streaming from the gas-lit room, and
Else's dear voice came through the darkness
Guardian! Guardian! are you coming?" she
called across the lawn
With start and shiver that shook his great
frame from head to foot, Mr.. Dunn raised him
self to his feet and wiped his face. ''Yes, dear
am coming; l am coming at once" he cried
"But go in, go in and shut the window! The
night air is bad for you, dear; go in" And
with gesture that might have been one of de-
spair, he moved slowly towards the house. As
soon as he had entered and closed the window
behind him; escaped from my hiding-place, and
hastened down the avenue.

swiftly up and down, his footsteps making no
sound on the thick velvet of the turf and as
approached though very cautiously | realized
that IL was Mr.. Dunn.
In his eager march he gradually drew near
to the spot where ] was hidden, and alarmed
now lest he should recognize and request
an explanation of my presence, | crouched low
under the shrubs and held my breath.
/ need not have feared, however, for my dis
covery, and this ] recognized | marked his
quick, dsjointed walk and bent, abstracted gaze.
Twice he passed me, and then suddenly, strik-
ing his forehead violently with his clenched
hands, he stood for moment looking up at the
rapidly darkening sky "My Godl" heard him
murmur hoarsely and then followed some words.
muttered ejaculations broken sentences that

that Elsie is not worse"
Even while the wish passed through my mind
Mr. Dunn gave harsh cry and with his arms
raised towards the sky, sank upon his knees on
the grass. Dark though it growing, could
still catch the outline of his big, red face and
thick lips, and knew that he was praying swift
ly, eagerly. Then his broad shoulders commenc-
ed to shake violently, and, ashamed to watch his
emotion further, turned my head
