The Austin Statesman very truth
fully says:
Although there are now in this
state, and were the past year. some
dozen or more cotton mills, there are
not enough to consume in the manu-
facture of cotton goods even when
operated to their fullest capacities as
much as one-tenth of / per cent of the
cotton produced within the state
There ought to be at least one thou
sand such cotton mills in Texas.
Things then would happen and this
old world would move"

The What to Eat" slanderer of
Texas continues to hand Texas all
kinds of hard deals. Well, Texas has
nothing to fear from such a source.
The worst thing about this what to
eat" fellow is the claim that he once
lived in Texas. But there is an old
saying that you can find what you are
looking for anywhere on earth. The
Herald has been looking for good peo-
pie and good things in Texas and
has found them abundantly.

A great many men whose employ
ment does not bring them in contact
with the public. and who feel no in
terest in or need of the public well
fare often lose sight of the fact that
they are morally bound to help take
care of the city's business. Every
man is morally bound to help take
care of the public interests of his
home town. And every man should
be willing at all times to do his full
duty. If every one should keep to his
own interests strictly and let the pub
lie good go the town would die from
stagnation within a year. The bur

Stock market and railroad crises are so inextricably tangled up that it is hard to discuss one without touch- ing on the other. The recent furry in Wall street came just at the time when the railroads were complaining they were being most unfairly treat ed by the state and general govern ment, and the railroad explanation of the occurrence naturally is that the panic was precipatated by per- sistent government maligning. There is another side to the situation, how ever. and that is that the whole drop ill securities was a carefully planned coup on the part of the big manipu- lators who knew that they could buy back at an immense profit the stocks whose paper value they so ruthlessly slaughtered. This is the opinion of one who pretends to know the ins and outs of Wall street. Of course the situation was represented to the white house as serious the first day of the furry But the president de- nominated it as gamblers panic and took no more interest in it. Still there was an urgent demand for mon- ey from New York and to save good many innocent persons. Secretary Cortelyou opened the treasury depart ment and "releieved the situation" as has been done so many times before by buying bonds and releasing banks from their obligations to retire so much currency monthly. Now that the crisis is over there is considerable speculation as to what the railroads are going to do. Especially Is it won- dered whether the railroad presidents who were to have come to the white house to see the president will per sist in that intention. Already one of them, M- McCrea of the Pennsyl- vania, has announced that he will not come without a special invitation, and as he of course will not get that, it looks as though the whole scheme of the visit would fall through. Whether the officials come to Wash ington or whether they do not, there is certain 10 be considerable addi- tional railroad legislation at the next session of congress, and before the magnates get through. they probably will wish they had taken counsel with the president when they had a good chance.

 New York styles whether 1t was iu dress goods or rat traps. and they lost trade while they were trying to educate the natives into using some thing they did not want. This Is an old story with government officials who have had to deal with American foreign trade relations.

PLUG TOBACCO MADE ON FARM

Did you ever stop to consider why they call this plug tobacco3 It was one of the oldest members of the Louisville police force who spoke, as he took a good sized chew. Well, there's all the difference in the world in tobacco. I've tried twenty differ- ent kinds. but none is so good as we used to make ourselves down on the farm, from which this plug tobacco derived its name.
 Tn the first place, we would select the choicest of the leaves and soak them for a week or more in wild honey. Then We would take maple log iwhile 1t was green and bore a dozen holes In it with two inch auger. A good. strong hickory tamp. ing stick completed our outfit, and we would go to work.
 "A little ball of honey soaked to. bacco would be put In the auger hole and tamped in with a stick and a hammer as solidly as We could plug 1t. Ball after ball would be rammed in and pounded until the whole be came a solid plug. When the hols was nearly full the log would be put away to season.
 "As the wood dried the moisture would be drawn from the tobacco and when 1t was split the sweetest chew you ever had was taken from it We called 1t plug toDacco. and that. where the name originated."-Balti more Sun.

WASHINGTON. March 2i.--Isaac N. Seligman of the banking house of J. & W. Seligman & Co. had talk with President Roosevelt. Mir. Sellgman is on his way home from the south and is stopping for few days in Washington.
 He went to the White House at the invitation of the president and remain. ed with him for some time. As he came out of the presidents ofice he admitted having discussed the 6nan. cial and railroad situation with Mr. Roosevelt and added:
 "The president will do anything he can to allay any kind of feeling of want of confidence. He does not see, however, what he can do.
 He is not responsible for the action of the state legislatures in their atti' tude toward the railroads and regrets action of this kind. The president is willing to meet the railroads halfway
 MT. Aeligman added that the presi, dent had the greatest confidence in Secretary Cortelyou and would not in terfere with him in the operations of the treasury department.
 T do not believe" said Mir. Selig man, that the money market needs any further relief. Mr. Cortelyou. the new secretary. seems to have the situa ton we'll in hand"
