HONESTY IN GREAT
THINGS.

No man will pick the pocket
of his fellow man on the street.
Such would be dishonesty, and
so forbidden by all the canons
of church and state.
Yet this same man will join
with his fellows in a fiction cree
ated by the state and named a
corporation and will ruthlessly
rob humanity of the uttermost
farthing that a tardy statute,
enaced to protect man against
just such, will allow.
No man will allow his wife
and children to go hungry, or
even those of his neighbor just
across the stree, ifsit but come
to his notice.
Yet this same man can engage
in a ruthless scheme of pillage
that takes away the food and the
clothes Of his neighbors, albeit
a little further off across the
street.
The creator of Standard Oil,
with great heralding, can and
does give away millions to bet
ter humanity, yet a convicted
criminal before every bar Of law
and justice, can go on ruthlessly
robbing the millions of Ameri-
can people who cannot escape
the clutches.
The real and only test of a
mans honesty is his dealing in
things great as well as small,
and by this test how often he is
found wanting and his preten-
sions to honesty and morality a
mere sham.

DO NOT LIMIT THE BOY.

On another page will be found
a notable and thoughtful report
of the president of the Citizens
Alliance at Houston. President
Baer emphasizes rightly a point
that must approve itself to men
generally, whether they belong
to unions of any sort or not. This
is limiting in any way whatso-
ever the opportunity of the boy.
Such a limitation is wrong in
principle and pernicious in prac-
tice. Rather give the boy every
encouragement to learn some
trade.

PLANS FOR 81 GMEXICAN
SHOW ARE UNDER WAY.

1t is announced that the board
of directors of the Central Ag-
ricultural and Industrial EXPOSE
ton of San Luis Potosi is pre-
pairing to make this years ex-
position a gala and elaborate
event, much more extensive in
fact than the opening fair last
year. The exposition is to open
September Is and will close Sep
TENDER %, and will be held in
a mammoth building now being
constructed for the purpose.
The exhibits have been divid-
ed into seven classes as follows !:
Manufactures and liberal arts,
agriculture and horticulture, ma
chinery and transportation, arts,
mines and metalurgy, the ali
mentary products, history, edu-
cation and social economy.
The association has secured
concessions from the Mexican
government for the importations
of exhibits and win also have the
further cooperation of the gov
eminent. There will be no inn
port duties on such exhibits.
Railroads entering San Luis
Potosi have agreed to haul the
exhibits for only one fare for

Yet save through it the most of
us would get precious little.
The only thing in the way of
a Utopia is how human nature
is built. In the bottom of your
heart you know and know that
the dream of the socialist can
never be and should never be
realized. 1t goes too strongly
counter to that inner thing that
stands up and proclaims to the
world, Il am man" Yet
through this same dream you
and l can and should and do
work with all our might to see
that this same manhood may
have scope for realizing itself,
in that it may enjoy the fruits
of its own thrift, a God given
principle that must ever be the
factor that brings about all prog
ress for the human race.

the round trip, the return triy
to cost nothing.
All products to be exhibited
will have to be accompanied by
consular certificates stating that
they are intended for exhibit.
The products, including cattle,
may remain there as long as six
months. All products or cattle
sold at the exposition will have
to stand the import duty after
the sale, whereas if they are not
sold no import duty will be
charged, All expenses incurred
in the shipment or receipt of cat
tie or products will have to be
borne by the shipper. The i'm
portation of the products men
toned can only be through the
frontier customs houses of Gu
dad Juarez or Nuevo Laredo,
these being the only ones author
lied to make the concessions
mentioned. Parties desiring fur
Their information can obtain the
same by writing the Centre Ag-

Octaviano B. Cabrera is presi-
dent of the exposition and Adel-
berto M. Vazquez is secretary. 1t
is the plan to make this exposi-
ton the greatest institution of
the kind in the entire republic
of Mexico.

that the railroad has assumed as
a business expediency.
In regard to these two points
it is our opinion that time will
show an injury, and a totally .un-
necessary one, to the press, the
railroads and the state. All of
them win survive, of course, but
now every phase of industrial
life in Texas should show the
greatest activity.

SOCIALISM" A NAME.

we subscribe to the things, the
principles even, that it stands
for. To attempt to define it
takes one at once into the bogs
and quicksands of party isms
and radicalism, and all sorts of
isms, some of which are good,
some bad.
Socialism and socialistic
teaching have made us to see the
injustice of conditions Ct a few
amassing wealth, making the
rest of humanity toll for them,
bleed for them, even die, body
and soul, too, for them. No SEN
sible> man believes that the ills
of humanity may be cured over
night by any sort of legislative
or other remedy. Humanity is
not built along such lines, but
rather it finds it's finest flowers
in individualism.
At the same time the genius
for organization, along business,
Industrial, social, religious lines,
is just as deeply implanted. So
that where one side, one element,
one faction, organizes for con-
centrated effort, there must be
a counter organization, else
those who rely upon individual
istic strength alone will suffer,
be left behind, organization and
counter organization must both
go forever on.
But the best that counter or
ganization can ever do is to in
sure to each man the enjoyment
of the fruits of his own thrift.
Thrift is at the bottom of indi-
vidual effort of the highest type.
A man is willing, nay, eager, to
work and that without limit,
provided he thinks that the
fruits of his efforts are to be his
in a reasonable degree. When
+ this is so he cares little for party
and creed and belief. But the
moment the fruits of his labor
go to others he gets out of the
individualistic camp and becomes
socialist or whatever else that
promises a remedy.
A democracy is an experiment
in socialism. Our republic is the
biggest and grandest ever made.
1t seems to be succeeding pretty
well, in view of the recent up
risings of the people, and their
summary putting an end to
certain things like rebates,
Standard oil, coal monopoly and
various other undemocratic ways
of doing business that had crept
in. The house of democracy
is not swept clean yet, but the
broom is being welded vigor-
ously by some leaders like Roose-
welt and Hughes and others, with
public opinion behind them.
At the same time a democracy
establishes forever the fact that
all men are not equal, a high
sounding fallacy of democracy,
and most useful phrase for
Fourth of July and political oc-
casions. For democracy strips
from man position and name and
rank and wealth and leaves sheer
manhood, theoretically only, of
course, for this ideal is seldom
or never realized entirely. And
in no sense are all men equal. To
make them so beginning would
have to be made about the time
of Father Adam.
Political liberty and practical
selfishness are counter checks.

RUSSIA GETS TRANQUIL.

The government since the dis
solution of the douma, has post
ed troops all over the city and
at all railway stations. Their
commands are to fire and not to
parley at any outbreak of trou-

able.

THE IMMIGRATION AGENT

AS the immigration forces are
organized today, all the railroads
have sufficient men who can and
do produce business. Specific
results they are required to show
in order to share in the advan-
taeg of transportation given
them by the roads and necessary
in the conduct of their business.
The land men of a railroad con-
stitute an important part of the
working machinery of the road
for industrial development. They
are in reality employees of the
road, though not drawing a spe-
cific salary. Their entire time is
given to promoting the interest
of the section which the road ira
verses by the bringing of more
and more people into it to be-
come producers. The land men
recognized by the railroads are
an efficient lot of men, and are
successful.
1t is too early to forecast just
the result Of the anti-pass law
on this department of the rail
roads and so on the industrial
life of the state. The restriction
of transportation will make such
an added cost to the work of the
immigration man that he will be
10th to continue in it. So these
effective departments of the
roads, which have done so much
in building up our country, will
need to be either practically cut
out, save for just a few men en-
ployed by the roads, or will have
to be reorganized on basis that
may be found workable.
Since railroad possesses the
right of eminent domain, priv
ileges granted only by the peo-
pie, it behooves that railroad to
furnish to every citizen of the
state identical service on identi-
cal terms. This is self-evident.
At the same time, when the
state begins to prescribe how
and in what manner this service
is to be furnished, and it certain
ly is its function to do that, due
regard should be had to other
considerations, other principles
equally sacred. One of these
principles is the right of con-
tract for exchange of equivalent
values. This affects directly the
press of the state. Another prin-
ciple is the right of the railroad
and the individual to enter into
a reasonable business agreement
or contract with reference to col
onization, one of the functions
