GRAND OLD TEXAS.

The Chattanooga News has this to
say. Some portions of Texas are
suffering for rain, others are being
washed away by floods. The point
in it is that Texas is an empire in
itself Even the weather man can
not shape his course to he agreeable
to all portions Of Texas
While the foregoing paragraph in
rate. ii presents one leading truth
that the country ought to take 10
heart. That is, Texas is. an empire
in itself" Unfortunately untraveled
people who dwell within small po-
litical subdivisions. by courtesy des-
ignated as states, can not compre-
porary so clearly sets forth.
1t is true there are at the moment
some small spots in Texas that need
rain. There are other small spots
that are well drenched. A dry spot
in Texas or 4 drenched spot in Texas
calls for a telegram, not because the
matter is of great Importance, but
because of the yearning of the world
to read any sort of item that bears
a Texas dateline.
Thus it happens in winter that
telegram tells of a blizzard in Tex
as, because disgraceful Kansas
furry sweeps across our northern
boundary. Some people think then
that Texas is in the grip of biz
gard. when as matter of fact al
most every prospect pleases and not
even man is vile. 1t is common
thing to have snow in one part Of
Texas while the sun Furnishes the
oranges with gold in another part.
From north to south as the trains
run. Texas is thousand miles
across, a distance not readily COM

life are bounded by limited hori-

south distance In Texas. From New
York 10 Chicago-that gives an Idea

GOOD ROADS AND BRIDGES THE
ONLY WASTE SAVERS.

The letting of the contract for the
causeway and other cause
ways and bridges over the state, and
the wonderful activity in the matter
of road Improvement in Tarrant.
Cooke, Harris and other counties
are hopeful signs OF the times.
The comfort and safety of the
travelling public amount to some
thing, but, aside from these matters
and from many other considerations
the one matter of saving the waste
is quite sufficient argument for
these improvements.
The word waste in this connec-
ton means everything, from axle
trees, wheels, harness, teams and
time to the surplus yields of fruits,
vegetables, poultry, pigs and beeves,
An easy way to get all the products
of the farms and pastures to market
must prove a profitable investment
to both the man in the country and
the man in town. 1t is, in fact, the
only means of saving the waste

KATY ISSUES "DON'l' BOOK.
Ticket Agents Ter~ely Told OF
Things to Prevent Costly Errors

The general passenger depart
ment of the Katy has issued a rout-
ing booklet and a set of ''don'ts' for
it's agents in Texas for the purpose
of giving information i'll a nutshell
regarding the routing of passengers
to Pacific Coast points. Incorrect
routing of passengers is costly to
ticket agents in many instances, as
! they are compelled to pay out OF
their own pockets the difference be-
tween the regular fare, over the di-
rect route. and the rate over the
route which is not authorized by
the railroad companies. The tour
lists tariff book giving rates and
Iroutings from Texas points to the
Pacific Coast contains siXty-eieht
pages, while the Katy's new routing
book contains eight pages and all
the information necessary to agents
in handling this class of business.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has ruled that when rail
road agent makes a mistake in sell
ing ticket the connecting lines are
right in demanding their full proper
ton of the fare, but the Interstate
Commerce Commission does not un-
dertake to say what the agents own
line shall do in the premises.
1t is said that the Pacific Coast
lines have profited largely by this
ruling. while their eastern connec-
tons. or the agents making mis-
takes, have been forced TO foot the
bill. The various routings to Pacific
Coast points have caused many
agents to become confused in sell
ing through tickets and in numer-
Gus instances they have been forced
to give back part Of their salaries to
the company for making errors.

MORE CADETS NEEDED.
Colonel Scott Points Out Conditions
at West Point.

at West Point.
Colonel Scott, superintendent of
the Military academy at West Point,
has prepared a memorandum on
conditions at that institution which
deserves the serious attention of
congress.
Colonel Scott points out that the
classes graduated from the acade-
my in the last ten years have aver
aged fifty-one short of the number
required to fill the vacancies in the
commissioned personnel of the army
caused by ordinary casualties, such
as death, resignation and retire
ment the result being that of all the
line officers now in active service
only $50 per cent are West Point
eTS.
The importance of these facts is
the manner of conducting military
operations has undergone radical
changes. The Introduction of smoke
less powder machine guns, rifles of
greatly increased range, and high
angle artillery fire, together with the
use of electrical appliances for fire
control, signaling, etc, has made the
fighting of battle largely a matter
of scientific application. Henceforth
y,r;11 oh Y ~ r.
les invisible to one another, and is
sues will be determined by com
manders securely shielded miles re-
mote from the zone of fire. Delicate
instruments which enable the officer
to locate the enemy beyond distant
ranges of hills, high-power guns
capable of dropping projectiles upon
an objective half a days march away
and many other devices first tested
in the Russo-Japanese war means
that in the next grand conflict the
actual field or battle will be practi-
cally empty so far as visible factors
are concerned, and that the struggle
will be determined chiefly by means
of scientific and mechanical agen
cies securely hidden from observa-
ton,
These changed conditions signify
that the officer capable of efficient
service in future war must be man
not only of thorough military train
ing, but of highly specialized scien-
tific education To expect these
qualifications of the alert, ambitious
young man entering the army from
civil life is unreasonable They are
to be acquired in their fullness only
in an institution devoted exclusively
to military education. That is the
special function of West Point.
To meet the requirements indica-
ted Colonel Scott recommends that
when a cadet has completed the first
three years of his course his success
sor shall be Immediately nominated
and admitted to the academy. This
increase in the cadet corps, it is eX-
planned, if adopted now, would re-
suit in the graduation of about 80
cadets a year beginning five years
hence and thus meet the normal re-
Guirements Of the army more fully
than is possible under existing con
dlt5ons.- New York Mail.
