Save the Boys and Protect the Girls.

The Taylor County Grand
Jury has undertaken to reform
the world, and in doing this the
august body has got slightly
mixed on the matter of ethics.
They believe that girls should
be better protected by law from
the enemies of virtue and purity,
and so far as they have gone we
heartily agree with them.
Only on one point do they APP
proach the most vital part of the
question at issue and that is
when they say: The young
men of our country should be
noble, manly men, and should be
the guardians rather than the
despoilers of the virtue of the
young girls who are entrusted
to their company by confding
parents.
That is commendable, but how
shall they be taught this great
lesson of life: Not by the
present attitude of society on
this question, by which the pro.
fessional seducer is received on
equals terms with the young
man of clean life who feels a
higher sense of honor. As long
as no town can feel itself assum-
ming the proportions of a city
without its newspapers and pub
lie men beginning to pirate about
a necessary evil and demand
that a certain district be assign
ed as a pit fall for unprotected
girls and unrestrained boys, just
so long will the majority of young
men fall short of the high stand
ard of manhood advocated by the
Taylor county grand jury.

He once had this line projected.

A house is no stronger than
its walls. Fort Worth today

NEW LINE WEST NEEDED.
People in fcr Worth Realize that they must
Connect with this Section Of the State
More Closely.

The Fort Worth Telegram re-
Gently published an article show
ing that their city was bidding
for the future trade from this
territory and that they were
alive to the fact that ere long a
direct east and west line of rail
way would be built through the
western portion of the state.
In view of the local railway
situation We publish the article
in full below.
For the first time since the
panther came here to lie down
Fort Worth is sleeping on her
rights. Day by day, week by
week, month by month, projects
are being realized that are cut
ting the foundation from under
this city's supremacy. and no eff
fort is made to counterfeit the
effects, not a move is being made
to overcome the handicaps that
are being heaped upon this city
in her onward race.
Fort Worth has long, and very
justly, boosted of the fact that
this is a railroad center. Yet
this city is without direct con-
nections to the very richest field
that is now being developed and
no effort is being made to reach
this field by the people of Fort
Worth.
Draw a line midway between
the Fort Worth and Denver City
on the north and the Texas and
Pacific on the south and You will
find on the map the only section
of Texas with fertility of soil,
salubriousness of climate and
cheap lands that is now without
railroad facilities, except in a
piecemeal sort of way.
That the eyes of the railroad
builders and the moneyed men
are upon this section is evidenc-
ed by the work that is now being
done. The Orient from San
Angelo, northward to Kansas
City: Sam Lazarus, with the
powerful backing Of J. Pierpoint
Morgan, is abundantly able to
finance his projected line from
Quanah to FL Paso; the plans of
the Atchison system call for an
extension of the Plainview line to
a point on the San Angelo
branch, the gap between the
Byers and Waurika, in Okla
homa, will soon be closed-and
everyone of these projects means
that Fort Worth will be deprived
of portions of her natural ter
ritory without any compensation
whatever.
Trade travels in the line of
least resistance. Already Fort
Worth has been cut off from
business in the Panhandle by
the Rock Island and the Santa
F'e having east and west lines.
As soon as the Orient is connect
ed up Fort Worth will be unable
TO compete against Kansas City;
for the reason Kansas City will
have the direct line to rich
section of Texas. Let the Laza
rus line from Quanah to Fl Paso
be complete, and once more Kan
sas City, Oklahoma City and
other jobbing points viii profit
at the expense Of Fort Worth.
