held in the interests OF the agricul- |
tural and commercial classes OF Tex
as, These will be soWn over the
state as thick as wheat, and 1t Is !
the expectation OF the organization
TO thus further the movement look |
ing to n grander and a greater Texas !
Though this organization is yet in
IFS infancy. aud the legislative wing
of the Secretaries association is It's
younger brother, yet the impulse OF
the movement is being felt over the
entire state, and the slate is full OF
assembly places which only need the
men from the pillow and the desk
from all over the state,
No Political War Cry.
Il is intended to drop in sub-or-
ganIzations wherever enough repre-
sentative citizens can be found to
assemble for this one common OBJ
iect The magnitude OF the work
can be best understood by visiting
the headquarters of the committee
in this city and seeing the mass of
literature which IS being sown
broadcast over Texas by means OF
printed matter which Is being dis
trlbuted through the mails. The mo-
tive Is nothing more or less than
suur 10 greater endeavor-an awak-
ening Of the Rip Van Wrinkles who
have already slept too long, a tip
that Texas has passed the quarter
post and with a little encouragement
can be made to finish inside the mon
ey 1t implies existence of no po-
litical unrest nor insurgency, n no
new war cry inspired by new poliit-
ical pretenders TO the throne Eat
Austin). It's inspiration is drawn
purely from the soil and the count
ing house. it is after greatness
after greatness for Texas-and stops

subpoena as witness in the case a
feature OF the resolutions adopted by
the assembly at Austin. 1t is In the

cross examine 1t. The item cited Is:
1--WE have met here in convention
not for any political purpose, but
| solely to lnaugurate movement IN
, our state which will awaken her cit
} izenship OF every class and calling tc
the enconomic needs OF the hour and
| for the betterment and upbuilding Of
= every section OF our state"
Spur to Greater Endeavor.
While the movement of the secre
taries can call out no logical criti
cism, yet its friends point to thi!
phase as evidence of its sincerity Il
stay out of politics, and possibly t
checkmate the unfair commont o
those who may have political ambi
ton, or who may have friends VIII,
have. If the item incorporated Fl
the Fort Worth resolutions is intel
ligible English which it is, and i
1t means anything at all, which
does, it implies that the organization
does not intend to sleep between tn
same pair OF blankets with politics
which American legend says make
strange bedfellows 1t means tina

1t has never been in it. The move
