Texas Confederate Reunion.

Mount Pleasant, Tex, July 28-
Realizing that, by the very force of
nature, they will probably never
again have the opportunity Of enter
tanning the Confederate veterans, the
citizens of Mount Pleasant are bend
ing every energy to make the state re-
union which opens here tomorrow an
event long to be remembered. Many
visitors to the reunion put in an ap-
pearance today. All arrivals were
met at the depot and escorted to the
homes of private families, where they
will be entertained during the two
days of the gathering.
The veterans and their friends will
rally at the court house at nine
o'clock tomorrow morning and march
in procession to Dellwood Park,
where the sessions of the convention
are to be held in the Auditorium.
Gen. K. M. Van Zandt will preside
over the gathering and the address of
welcome will be made by Mayor J. v.
Moore. The business meetings will
continue two days and will be liber-
ally interspersed with features of en-
tertainment. Each evening there will
be campfire meetings with addresses
by prominent veterans and others,

HIS MODEsTY WAS SHOCKED.
Legislator Introduces Bill Prohibiting
Women From Riding Astride.

Atlanta, Ca, July 26.-Any woman
in the state of Georgia who rides
astride w:1l become felon, if the bill
introduced in the House today by
Representative Wright, of Stuart
county, Eecomes law.
The statesman from Stuart never
saw woman ride astride until he
came to Atlanta. He was shocked
and Mortified by the sight of a pretty
girl in divided skirts whirling along
on the back of a mettlesome horse.
So he hied him to his chambers and
prepared this bill:
BE it enacted by the Legislature OF
Georgia, that on and after the pas
sage of this act, it shall be unlawful
for any female over the age of twelve
years, to ride astride any horse OF
mule Or ass or other animal of both
sexes upon any street or road or pub
lie highway or any other public place
within the state. Provided, nothing
in this act shall be construed to pro-
hibit the riding astride of any female
circus performer within tent ol
other enclosure"
The measure carries a fine of from
ten to one hundred dollars or impris
onment.

UNCLE SAM IS NETTING IT.

The truth is, this nation of 80,000,-
600 of people, including a large num-
Der of men full of ideas and energy,
is the only nation that could have
speedily built the Panama canal. Aid
ed by great resources we bring to the
task every known mechanical appl-
ance, and this is why the canal work
is progressing satisfactorily. Few ap-
I.reciate the fact that every possible
mechanical appliance is kept busy in
the Culebra cut; the train unloaders,
spoil spreaders and track shifters at
Ta5ernilla dump; the suction dredges
at the Atlantic and Pacific termini; /;
the cableways and pipe dredges at
Gatun, and the cranes at Mirahores-
these are the things that ample re-
sources have supplied, and they are
making the canal physical and COM
mercial possibility. Without these
modern mechanical appliances the ca
nal coald not be built in reasonable
time at reasonable cost. No other
nation could have duplicated the work
that is progressing today at Panama.
Not one. France did try it, and the
effort resulted in failure. Upon the
United States fell the huge task, and
Uncle Sam is meeting it with ample
resources, ample skill and ample me-
chanical appliances.
The chances are that the excava-
ton in the Culebra cut will be COM
DIo+od hofora tho close Of 1911 and
if the Gatun locks can be completed
by the end OF 1912 the hope is enter
tanned among the best informed that
the canal will be opened by the end OF
1913. Colonel Goethals anticipates
unforeseen difficulties, and he puts the
day of opening at the end of 1914. Ii
may come year earlier.

THAT NORTH SEA MEETING.

The Emperor of Germany met the
Emperor of Russia IN the North Sea
which was certainly better as well as
safer than meeting in Darkest Rus
sia, or even in Socialistic Germany
would have been-why then may not
the President of the United States and
the President of Mexico meet at Ell
Paso or some other point on the bor-
der? There is, of course, no reason
why they should not meet on either
side of the border, for the custom
that a President should not leav his
country has nothing to rest upon. Our
late Ieonoclast, who is now killing
hippopotamuses in the jungle, did not
hesitate to go to Panama. He went
on a warship, but no amount OF con-
struction could place him in this
country when he was far away from
it in another republic.
It is not probable that Mr.. Taft and
General Diaz have anything of mo-
ment to say to each other. General
Diaz is an old man, serving his sew
enth or eighth term, but his manner
of securing additional terms is not
adapted to this country, and besides
it is not believed that Mr.. Taft wants
more than two terms, and he may
have to be content with one unless he
betters his tariff record.
The proposed meeting at Ell Paso in
October would not be a bit momen-
tous, but it would be interesting, and
no harm would come from it. 1t
would no doubt be highly regarded by
General Diaz, and one may be sure
Mr.. Taft would enjoy 1t. BY all means
let the two Presidents meet to dis
cuss the weather and the fight Of
time and other subjects of like i'm
port.

to have convicts from 5he penitentiary
