ANENT THE SCHOOL QUESTION,

Just a suggestion or two to those who
are making great ado, ION the quiet" "
over the Herald's remarks on the school
question, in last weeks issue:
IF the cap doesn't fit, don't wear it.
No names were mentioned.
If you are so confident that the Her.
aid is wrong ard you are right, whisper
it to the public. Put it in the paper;
the space is yours for the asking.
The Herald does not seek contrever-
sy that would surely be unpleasant (tho
not Improbable to the public but it
believes that this mon entous question
should be handled in the open light of
day. The purpose of the Herald arti-
Gle was neither accusation nor abuse but
simply to warn those who would inter-
fere with or retard the establishment of
an improved school system that they are
inflict1ng an irreparable injury upon the
public, which they must suffer with
other citizens. The evident determi-
nation to make the Herald's utterances
an "issue' may force us to answer fully
some of the questions we asked last
week. We are not ready to plead guilty
of recklessness in the discussion of this
question or to concede that the position
taken by this paper is rot as firm as
truth and fact can make it.

\ Seventeen years ago there was not a

grass grew as high as the back of tie

This year within q radius. Of 81 miles,
one-third Of which is unc,ultiyated.
&G,305, 500 worth Of produce was raised,
and III that radius is population Of
$1,000 people,. Henrietta is the only

the property of that circuit is 7,oo0,-

double that amount, and yet only about
800, 600 acres, one-third of the total
number, are III cultivation The milling
capacity of Wichita Falls is 800, 900

Wichita Falls is located in the Wich
tia and Red river valleys, a magnificent
stretch of land which extends about so
miles north and south and probably 20
miles east and west. 1t is located on the
main line Of the Fort Worth and Den
YER City hallway, now of the famous
Union Pacific system, and is the east
ern terminus Of the Wichita Valley rail
way, which extends westward SIS miles
to Seymour, in Baylor county. It is ia
miles northwest of Fort Worth and 146
miles from Dallas. Its population is
about 5000.
About IS months ago the people
Of Wichita Falls decided that life
you'd not be worth living unless that
branch of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad which terminated at Hen
rietta was extended to their town. They
went before the officers of the road
with their proposition. They submitted
to these officers the amount of freight
and passenger business that Wichita
Falls would furnish.
The officers Of the road told the Wichi-
ia Falls people, however, that if they
could furnish any such business as they
claimed the proper thing for them to do
WAS to complete it themselves, and
that the Katy road would divide earn
ings with the town.
The people of Wichita Falls acted
upon this proposition promptly. Three
months ago the road was completed ~ b
tuiles at a cost OF $1s0,000 This is an
Indication Of the enterprise Of the peo-
pie Of the county seat of Wichita coun-
ty, and that is why the people Of the
county can afford to do such things.

population of such city: He thought q

GOOD SIDEWALKS DESIRABLE
Essential Points to &c Considered Ar
Smoothness and Durability.

Essential Points to &c Considered Are
Snoothness and Durability.
Good sidewalks add much to that ap-
pearance of neatncss which every we'll
regulated town strives to attain, and a
little care in their construction is ONLY
necessary to achieve this desirable aim.
Sidewa lks should be as carefully regu-
lated III their construction as street
pavements. The idea Of permitting Adult
tors to decide upon the pavements for
the roadways in front of their premises
should not be entertained for AIN instant
But they appear to be given entire free
dom Of choice in relation to sidewalks
Il there is any regulation in this respect
it is regulation that does not regulate
very effectively. While it might be well
to, permit all abutter to lay the very best
sidewalk that could be had if he so de-
sired, some approach to uniformity of
standard should be insisted upon, with
in the extent Of block at least, and the
character of the work should never be
allowed to fall below certain mini.
mum. -
The elements essential to the con-
Etruction of a good sidewalk are suf
fciertly known to make any falling be.
low the standard inexcusable. Evenness
and comparative smoothness. combined
with sufficient durability, are the great
considerations
1t is important that the people Of a
community should be saved as much ia.
tigue in walking as possible. They have
90 much more strength left for their
work, and their productive capacity is
oorfespondingly enhanced. The chief
factor in this matter is the quality Of
the footway. A person can probably
walk twice as far over an even sidewalk
as over rough one with the same ex.
penditure Of muscular and nervous Ell.
ergy. Whoever has given thought to the
matter has perceived that, while on 8
surface of varying level, considerable
degree Of attention has to be given tl
the process Of walking in order to ad
just the action of the muscles to the
spot where the feet are to fall, thus
causing continuously uneven gait, on
an even surface this attention is not
necessary. In the latter instance walk
ing becomes automatic in character,
with a corresponding economy in phys
ioal energy.

Sammy zzimm erman's gallantry gave
him asfulls BATH iii the bay = few days
ago. While engaged ID his work at the
mill pond q bunch Of Grand Marnis
beauties passed by and Sammy, Of
course, gave; them tho salute proper.
He was standing on a boom stick at. the
time and stepped off into the water,
which is considerably deeper than Sam
my is high. He didn't see whether the
girls laughed Or. cried at his predica-
ment and nobody was cruel enough to
tell him. Sammy will probably moder-
ate bis bows on boomsticks henceforth.
The matter of redistricting the county
into new commissioner districts was not
considered at the annual meeting Of the
county board. AS provided by the code.
the representation on the county board
must be enlarged to five members, all Of
whom will necessarily be elected this
fall, and for which purpose the county
must be redistricted. While official &C:
tom was not taken, the matter was talk
cd over by the members of the board
and it is understood that special meet
ing will be held to dis pose of the matter
The people are much interested and
their anxiety to see the thing done IN
creases as the time shortens. 1t
is not an easy task. as may readily be
seen, to divide this county into five new
districts, bounded by township lines
and as nearly equal in size according to
population as practicable. Tie people
fully appreciate this and the county
board will find them undisposed to criti-
else any reasonable compliance with the
law. But early action will be the best
solution OF many vexed questions grow
ing out Of the situation.
