The Southwest's Expansion.

J. J. Terrell, the land commits
sioner of Texas, says that he has
sold 8, 5000 acres of the public
lands of that state in the past
twelve months at prices ranging
from 81 to S. an acre, and adds
that between now and January l,
1907, he will place 800, 900 more
acres on the market. Incidentally,
too, he remarks that the state
hood law is going to help Texas,
Arkanas and Missouri, as it will
the four territories that are about
to be let in
This shows that Mr.. Terrell is
a close observer of social manifesto
tons. Statehood law will call the
country's attention anew not only
to Oklahoma, Indian Territory,
New Mexico and Arizona, but it
will turn the country's thoughts
to all the neighbors of those COM
munities. It will advertise this
whole region. In the decade end
ing with 1900, while the center
of the countrv's population was
moving fourteen miles to the south,
the swing in the latter direction
was due chiefly to the peopling of
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
and to the thrush into Texas. That
population movement in this direc
ton is under way at the present
decade also, with this difference;
that the newcomers are ditfusing
themselves more widely now than
they did a few years ago. Missouri
and Arkansas are getting more of
them than they did then.
No section of the country has a
brighter future than is just ahead
of the great region which stretches
from Missouri's northern line to
the Cult of Mexico and from the
Mississippi to the Rio Grande.
The statehood law will benefit not
only the communities directly
involved, but the whole region.
The passenger and freights agents
of all the southwestern railways,
as well as the immigration societies
of all this locality, say this, and
are making preparations to meet
the influx of people. The in
coming current IS larger in the
summer of 1906 than it was twelve
months ago. It promises to be
still larger in 1907. Railway con-
struction, bank clearings and rail-
way earnings all bear evidence to
the growth of this region. The
figures of Uncle Sans census
takers in 1910 will tell an interest
ing tale of the decades expansion
of the southwestern states.

MEMS HATS IN CHURCH.
Their Care a Troublesome Question
Awaiting Solution.

II Is d uldllGI VI A-otOA ACo- ~
cord, says the London Hatters
Gazette, that our forefathers in the
seventeenth century wore their
headgear at divine service, and
also at dinner, but it has remained
for an English newspaper to testify
that in its opinion gentlemen some
times refrain from going to church
because of their hats.
A daily paper has recently sug-
gested that the very irregular at
tendance of upper class males at
church may be due to the respect
with which they regard their
headgear and the inadequate &C
commodation provided in sacred
edifces for the safe bestowal of the
cherished topper"
They quote Piccadilly halter as
saying: I receive more hats to
block on Monday morning than
on any other day of the week, and,
judging from the observations I
hear, l should say that the owners
benefit very little by going to
church. If they place their hats
under the seats they are kicked by
the occupants of the pews behind,
ladies being almost as careless as
mischievous boys in this respect.
Then, if they deposit the hats on
the seats some one, probably the
owner himself, is sure to sit upon
them. Why can't every West End
church have a cloak room where
gentlemen can leave their hats?
This suggestion has often been
made. 4 small sum could be
charged and devoted, let Us say, to
the clothing of the heather in
West Africa.
A West End vicar who was
asked if this difficulty explained
why men did not go to church gave
an unsympathetic answer. I can
not conceive" he said, even in
these artificial and hnnicking days,
of a man who would avoid going
to church out of consideration for
his hat. At regular intervals male
members of my congregation COM
plain to NE about the matter, and
1 invariably tell them to wear
caps"
A verger at a neighboring church
who offered as a remedy the sugges-
ton that men should wear opera
hats told the amusing story Of an
experiment. One gentlemen al
ways used to put his hat outside
the door of his pew, he said.
"Others followed, until the whole
aisle showed a row of silk hats.
This was all right till one night an
old gentlemen who was shortsight-
