THE "KNocKER."

The editor of the Waco Times.
Herald is hunting trouble. He says
in a recent issue: Hit the man who
knocks the town, and hit him hard. -
-Denison Herald.
In nearly every paper in the state
is the daily cry, Suppress the knock
er." The meaning of it is that certain
persons of the towns complain and
disparage the efforts of others to
make them grow. According TO State
Press, the "knocker" ought TO be en-
couraged rather than suppressed. He
is absolutely necessary for the ad-
vancement of town. Suppose every
individual in a town were satisfied
with conditions, how long would II be
before its people would be literally
without energy or without any desire
to make such town greater? The
knocker has a keen eye. He is hunt
ing for something to complain about
The satisfied citizen does not look for
subjects for a complaining disposition
Therefore he is hardly capable OF
making a suggestion for Improvement
The knocker says in a crowd: "Skee-
dunk, our town has no life in IT,
There is Possumtrot, ten miles away,
which is trying TO get a cotton mill.

SUNSHINE ON THE LAND.

1t is pleasing to note that Brad
street. the great commercial reporter,
saws that the country is in such a
prosperous condition. The Manufac.
turers' Record is even more jubilant
Tor II hears the music of progress
coming up from the far North, the
far West, the far East and the South
alike, for the resources of America
are SO stupendous that neither legis-
lative action nor temporary adverse
financial conditions can stop it. There
is the best of reasons for this conf
dence, for it is shared by the vast ma
jority of the nation. Everybody
knows that the industrial world can
use more money than the mines have
turned into business channels in re-
cent years, large as the output has
come to be. 1t is the case also that
comparatively small part of the vast
stock shrinkage of the year is any
thing more than the escape of water
from securities floated with the
knowledge that they were speculative
to a greater or less degree. The stolid
indifference of the business world has
actually dazed the mind and shaken

ference, but have found themselves

Ultimate kind.
New insect pests have been invent
ed and fierce tales of their ravages

excelling in crop products. But the
wheels of industry have never slack
ened speed and are not slackening
now. Even the Wall street rubbish
about the fear that is to overtake
business on account of public prosecu-
ton of lawbreakers has ceased to be
noticed. The sensible business man
merely says there is no ground in the
United States for cold feet and he lets
it go at that in his contempt for the
frightened prophets of the market
place who think financial bogies have
still power to alarm rational beings in
a good crop year.-Corpus Crony.

Socialism is a nice little dream, but
put to the test il loses its fascination.
Practically applied there are very few
industrious working men in Palestine,
for example, who would be willing to
divide their income and estate with
the bum who wouldn't work If he had
to. As long as there are workers and
buns in the world there will never
be any ideal socialism. AS long as
one mans earning capacity is greater
than that of another there will never
be any socialism. The trouble is now.
and the cause of the agitation for so
cialism is because the laws at pres
ent do not give all people an equal
opportunity TO prosper. Organized
capital is so powerful that the small
man cannot compete with it. Correct
laws would remedy this trouble But
socialism will never do it,
