AS TO SCHOOLS.

Denison, Texas, Sept. 7.-(Spe-

route north passed through here to-
day containing about 500 young
women, who will be distributed to
various schools.-News Item.
OF course, every man has the
right to send his daughters to any
school he likes, but when Texas has
SO many and such excellent schools
for young ladies, it seems strange
that so many Texas citizens should
patronize foreign institutions of
learning. In addition to the public
schools and the state university and
normals, nearly every religious de-
nomination has one or more excel
lent girls schools in Texas, to say
nothing of the many splendid pri-
.vate institutions. 1t is probable that
the fathers of every one of the girls
referred to in the above item do
business in Texas and depend FOR
their success upon the patronage of
Texas people, and no doubt quite a
home industry clubs in their COM
munities. But the fact that we have
good schools of higher education
and a desire to build up our own in
situations are not the only reasons
for educating Texas boys and girls
at home Another important reason
is that they grow up among their
future friends and associates and
imbibe the true Texas spirit.-Fort

The Wise County Messenger In
discussing the matter OF building
public roads says: "In the past
twenty years there has been at least
100000 wasted on our county
roads and bridges" More than three
fourths of the money expended In
the old-fashioned way of building
and improving public roads is real
ly wasted, and estimating on this
basis losses in Ellis county would
aggregate something enormous.
Waxahachie, through this old-time
method of road building, is now
nearly bottled up and that. too,
at the very time when business in
terests demand that our highways
should be in most perfect condi-
ton. Ellis county can well afford
the best roads of the better class,
and to build any other kind is a
waste of money.

SENATE COMMITTEE ON CON-

ExAcTIoNs OF ROYALTIES
FROM PRIVATE PARTIES. 4

WASHINGTON, April 30--The sen.
ate committee on commerce struck a
hard blow TO-DAY at one OF the presi-
dents favorite policies. II took the
position that the government could
not lawfully exact royalty, or COM
pensation, from private parties for the
construction OF dams across navigable
streams.
The president has taken strong
grounds in favor of exacting such
compensation and has given 1t out that
he would veto all bills in which COM
pensation for the government In cases
Of this kind was not provided.
The question came before the COM
merce committee today In connection
with a bill providing for a dam across
the James river in Missouri.
The committee is also prepared to
make important amendments In the
Newlands waterway bill, which will
modify II materially and so weaken II
as probably to make 1t useless In the
eyes OF its author President Roosevelt
has looked upon this bill with favor
and SO has the war department. The
bill carries an appropriation OF $780,
100000 and the subcommittee has
concluded this should be largely re-
duced.
