THE OLD, OLD TALK
OF Undyins Friendship Between Ger.
many and Russia.

Berlin. June 18.-The Wolff Bureau
the official German news gathering
agency. has received a wireless dis
patch from its representative accom-
panying Emperor William. giving an
interview he had with an official per-
sonage. evidently Foreign Secretary
Won Schoen. on the German view of
the results of the meeting of the mon
archs.
'"rhe meeting" the official said was
new proof of the traditional hearty
friendship between the ruling houses
of Germany and Russia. The toasts ex-
changed are pledge for the contin-
uanCe of the good relations between
the two countries. Various pending po-
litica' questions were touched upon in
accompanying Their Maiesties, the re-
suit showing that no conflicting views
Oh them exist
Both sides sincerely wish for a con-
tiAuance of the friendly feelings and to
further cement the good relations that
now exist between the two countries.
II was also recognized that the inter-
national agreements in which Germany
and Russia are engaged. by no means
conflict with those of the friendly re-
lations. Both countries are as one in
tho purpose of peaceful solution of
every political question that may
arise.

FOUR IMPORTANT PROBLEMS

An eastern observer of southern
development sits the phases OF our
progress down to four problems:
Permitting the railroads TO measure
up to the commercial and industrial
demands which they have assisted in
creating and, which is after all, cap
ital; redemption Of waste lands; ag-
rfculture and lettering the enyir-
onment of water supply and the gen
eral conditions of living. Several
Texas cities are now wrestling siren
uously with the water supply PROB
lem. wherefore this eastern obser-
ver's comment is worth while: 'One
foe of regular employment in the
south is the malarial condition or
many localities on account OF defec-
tive drainage of lands. Too many
lives are wasted from fevers due
TO contamination Of drinking water
in new industrial localities. Special
diseases, moreover, may be met by
science to the saving of many mil
lions of income. The discovery for
cure of the hookworm disease by
DR.. c. w. Stiles of the department
of agriculture, for instance, is con-
tribution to public health which 1t
is claimed may at small expense re-

Saws the Dallas Times Herald:
"Hon. Pierce B. Ward, the senator
from Johnson and Hill and Ellis, is
too sensitive He introduced bill
and his colleagues killed it by a
large majority. No senator, no news
paper, impugned his personal integ-
rty or intimated that he was actu-
ated by improper motives. The fight
was led by Lieutenant Governor
Davidson. He pronounced the Ward
bill a bad bill and it was put 10
sleep. Senator Ward is an honest
man; Assistant Attorney General
Hawkins is an honest man, but the
only men in this vale of tears who
never makes mistakes, cannot make
mistakes, are the editors of our es-
teemed contemporaries, the relig-
ious newspapers. Governor David
son and twenty-seven senators were
in favor of letting well enough
alone" and for that reason Senator
Wards bill was relegated to the
scrap pile But for the Instability
of the religious press, on matters po-
little as we'll as affairs of church,
poor old Texas would be in a deplor-
able condition.

When the Waco Times-Herald
suggested the construction of road
straight across the state from Deni-
son 10 San Antonio it struck upon
something that seems to appeal to
the whole state People who live off
the proposed line and newspapers
published in towns several miles re-
moved from the proposed route are
saying nice things about the propo-
sition There is no question but that
the construction of such a road
would be a great thing for the state
and especially is this true for the
country located along the road. The
fact that such a road was built
through the cooperation of the
counties and towns would of itself
be a great advertisement but the
fact that there was such road
across the state would be a greater
one. The construction of this road is
a possibility and 1t should be made
bability.-Denison Herald.

THE HOUSE Ely AS A PUBLIC
ENEMY.

DR.. John B. Huber of the Ford
ham Medical school in New YORK
says that typhoid fever is certainly
disseminated by flies. Flies pollute
food and drink by means Of the filth
which they convey ffohl Z refuse
They breed almost exclusively from
filth. They certainly disseminate
cholera and cases OF tetanus seem
to have originated through their
agency. There is only one way TO
combat them-by destroying them
and their breeding places
1t is a pretty difficult matter TO
keep beyond the reach of flies, and
with an unfinished campaign against
the mosquito on hand, the task is
practically impossible. But we can
very much lessen their power for
harm by keeping clean. Indeed, that
is the fundamental thing to do. For
flies are not the cause, but the agen-
nv of disease. If there were no filth
heaps flies would be harmless
worth no more concern than any
other annoying thing. 1t is in the
filth of wards, streets and alleys that
the fly gets his supply sof disease
germs for distribution. 1t is easier
to clean up than to destroy or bar
all the flies, and that, too, would be
vastly the more effective measure.

THE DRAINAGE LAW UPHELD
Injunction of A. j. Lloyd and Others
Denied by the Court.

AS previously noted in a recent is
sue of this paper A. J. Lloyd and
others of Italy filed a suit in the dis
trict court against J. T. Spencer, the
commissioners court and others
seeking to enjoin the formation of
Ellis County Drainage District No.
/, the sale of bonds by it and all OPP
erations by the district or its officers
order for that purpose, which case
came on for hearing before the court
on Friday. The objections urged to
the district were that the law was
unconstitutional under which the
district was formed and in violation
of the constitutions of Texas and
of the United States; that the dis
trict had not been properly formed;
that the lands of the plaintiffs did
not need the drainage proposed;
that the improvements proposed
were not feasible nor practical and
part of their lands being woodlands
there value would not be enhanced
by any protection which might be
afforded by such district. The court
after hearing an exhaustive argu-
ment upon the objections to the law
and to the formation of the district
| denied plaintiffs their writ of injunc-
! ton and sustained the constitution
ality of the act. The attack made
/ upon this law involves an attack of
principle upon which the navigation,
irrigation and drainage laws of the
state are all formed and under
which many hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of improvements
have been made and by which thous-
ands of acres of lands in Texas have
already been reclaimed and made
productive And it is said that the
same objections made to these laws
might be made with equal force
against all special school district
laws wherein it is proposed to levy
! special taxes for school purposes.

This involved the closing of the house until the little one should be well enough to return After the wife had secured hotel accommodations by the long distance telephone the man of the house went to hls room and slowly and thoughtfully spread the entire contents of his wardrobe upon his ted. that they might be convenient for his wife to pack.
 He stood surveying them. deep In meditation. when his wife came into the room and began to speak to him.
 He raised his hand rebukinSiy. Don't talk to me now. Susie. don't talk to me. l have great deal on my mind If we are going to the sea shore day after tomorrow tbere are many things to be done. and l must plan"
 His wife. who had already tele- phoned the butcher, ni.kman. baker, grocer. expressman and ticket office and given the maid a months vaca- ton and arranged with a relative for the care of the dog. gazed at him in silence.

 He sat down on his trunk in the middle of the deserted ring and planned how on the morrow he would get his money out of the hank and build house and begin a new life as a substantial citizen
 But all the joy had gone strangely out of his plans when he could not sec the face of the little clown at his ta- ble or her slender figure In the hig chair in front of the fireplace.
