TREMENDOUS TEXAS.

Texas is big, enormous, tremen-
dous, and stands for the superlatve
in many things, as per the follow
ing from a citizen of that state re-
lated to Kew York reporter a few
days ago:
Texas has lower taxes than any
other state, more coal and oil than
Pennsylvania; more iron than Ala
bama; more granite than New Hamp-
shire, more Ignite and kaolin than
all Europe more timber land than
Michigan; more fruit land than Cal
ifornia, more corn land than Illi-
nois more cotton land than any
other state; more miles OF railroad
than any other state, and is building
more every year than any other
state"
He might have added that Texas
has more cattle and more sheep than
any other state, producing more beef
and wool, and that the census returns
will show that Texas has passed
Ohio and Missouri in number OF In
habitants, and by 1920 will pass Ill
inois and collar Pennsylvania for
second place. If the present material

Death is great leveler. There are
those in Texas today attempting to
justify their positions in the name
of Hogg, Reagan and Culberson who,
during the lifetime of those grand
patriots We're not permitted to feed
on even the crumbs that were scat
tered at their feasts of reason. 1t is
almost sacrilege for some of our la
ter day politicians to breathe the
names OF those statesmen.

advancement is continued, We may
look for Texas in second place a de-
cade hence.
When Texas was an Independent
republic an old German soldier of
fortune, who had done valiant ser
vice at San Jacinto, was granted
MANY leagues of land in that section
of which Waco Is now center. The
treasury was empty and the old vet
eran took the land rather than moth
ing. He sold it for song, and today
millions of the acres so patented to
him are teeming farms that could
not be bought for 500 the acre.
The st,Ty of the Panhandle is eg-r
,qole wonderful. and that vast ~t.on
between San Antonio and Laredo
will eclipse both the Waco and Pan
! handle regions.

We believe that careful study of
the propositions for which it is pro-
posed to issue additional city bonds
will influence our citizens In voting
for them. 1t is understood that our
present tax levy is sufficient to pro-
vide interest and sinking fund, hence
there would be no increase in the
tax rate. Without seeking to justify
the shortcomings of the present or
past administrations it appears to US
that the needs of the city, as we all
understand them, furnish sufficient
reasons for voting for the bonds.

Commenting on Senator Bailey's
contention that free lumber" would
not effect prices here in Texas, the
"A special lumber train of thirty
five cars went from Texas TO Kansas
City last week. Is it not plain that a
lessening of the demand at Kansas
City for Texas lumber would have
tendency to bear" the price here
at home?' But, by following our
senator to Houston, the fact is dis
closed that his contentious as to lum-
Der meets the hearty approval of the

NOVEL SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
SunflowerS Come Up Where CuCum-
Der Seed Was SoWn

Der Sccu was SOWn.
Seattle. Wash, Sept. 22,-Forty
acres of blazing sunflowers where
cucumber seed was sown is the ba-
sis for lawsuit filed in the superior
court by John Cochran, a farmer,
against one of the largest seed hous-
es in Philadelphia. The complaint al
leges that the seed house sent Coch-
ran 800 pounds of sunflower seed
when the original order called for
cucumber seed.
Cochran has employed a young
man from the city to do the planting
of the forty acres to cucumbers. The
hired man did not know the differ
ence between sunflower and cucum-
Der seed and planted the patch ac-
cording to orders
Cochran had employed a young
plants were peculiar when they ap-
peared above the ground, but when
at three weeks of age they turned
into a stalk with a bunch of leaves
at the end he recognized the sum
flower plant. Behold his entire for
ty acres specially prepared for GU
cumbers was alive with Kansas sum
flowers.
Immediately he wired the seed
house for explanations, which didn't
come. Now he has sued for 5000
damages. The sunflowers have been
neglected. but unattended they turn
their flat faces to the sun and return
the smiles of Cochran's neighbors
as they drive past the truck patch.

STAMPS LIQUOR DRINKING WITH
DISAPPROyAL.

The Concatenated order of Hoo
Hoo took the best step in its history
ing at Hot Springs when IT adopted
an addition to its constitution and
bylaws absolutely prohibiting the
use OF all intoxicating liquors at
concentrations, or at the informal re-
pasts that it has been the custom to
provide at such meetings Heretofore
procedure for the social session, or
Session n-the-Ro as it has
been called in the vernacular of the
order has been prescribed. while
stronger liquors have always been
barred wine and beer have been eX-
pressly permitted. That there was
to be something to drink at such
meetings was understood. 1t was ex-
pected as part of the program. In
many instances abuse has occurred,
and all over the country the tenden-
cy has grown up TO look on the social
session as the main event, the prop
er initiation of new members into
the order and other business being
mere incidents.
It is this appearance of official
endorsement of drinking that is now
done away with in vigorous and un-
equivocal language. 1t is very
proper step. 1t puts the order in line
with the manifest spirit of the
times The Concatenated Order OF
Hoo Hoo, no more than any other
order of organization, cannot con-
troll by legislation the action or con-
duct of its individual members, but
I hat it sets its face against Il certain
line of conduct will be of immediate
! influence in eliminating that con-
duct.
There is no question but that the
order has been presented in an un-
favorable aspect to the general pub
lie. 1t is difficult to draw the line be-
tween liberty and license, or in this
country to disassociate in the public
mind any sort of a good time from
the idea of liquor drinking. An illus
tration of the view the public has
come TO take of Hoo-Hoo Is shown
in connection with this meeting at
Hot Springs A spirited, but perfect
ly fair and good natured rivalry de-
veloped between San Francisco
and Nashville as applicants for the
1910 meeting. Both cities were rep
resented by strong delegations San
! Francisco won, and the Associated
Press widely spread the announce
ment that Nashville was defeated
because Tennessee is a prohibition
state That matter was absolutely
not mentioned in the arguments adj
vanced, and if it was suggested by
any individual member it was in a
purely jocular way. 1t cut no figure
in the decision
The order is to be congratulated
upon the step it has taken and every
good and loyal member in it should
lend his utmost personal Influence
to see that it is made effective. Most
men do what they think is expected
of them. The concatenated Order of
Hoo-Hoo, through the unanimous
sentiment developed at this annual
meeting, shows that it expects all its
members to so conduct themselves
and to have others conduct them
selves at all meetings of its men,
! bers as to remove from the public
mind the impression that the organ
ization is one in any way associated
/ with OF suggestive of a standard of
conduct in any whit below that of
men in any line of business. South
