Leaders in Good Roads Movement.

The Texas commercial secretaries
are now taking a hand in the good
roads department campaign, which
means greatly added power to the
movement. Between the secretaries
James Hays Quarles and the Denison
Herald this needed innovation in
Texas should be fairly outlined before
the next legislative session. Beau

Practically every newspaper in -the
state is taking an active interest in
good roads and have been for several
years. but the Denison Herald was a
leader in this great mvoement from
the beginning and is still on the firing
line for good roads James Hays
Quarles is now in position at the
A. & NJ. College to be of great help
in the general movement over the
state for better public highways. Let
the good work go on until every
county in the state will have good
roads.-Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Tainted News"

Once more the time worn effort is
being made to send tainted news"
throughout the country. For years
past big corporations have flooded the
country with tainted news but the
newspaper owners at last awakened to
the true condition, and the work of a
press agent has been given a decided
setback.
The rulers of Wall street have time
and again tried to buy newspapers in
various parts of the country with the
idea of directing public influence along
the channels they might select.
This proved to be an expensive plan,
but it has been carried on times with

in Chicago and then sent broadcast.

Is too often outweighed by the mis-.

Each fraternity will go to dangerous
lengths to secure for its members any
contested honor; after that, all OF
them will combine forces to defeat
the "barbarians," l. e., the nonfrater-
nifty men. AS a rule, membership is
too costly for the poor student. Hence
the rich, often as snobbish as they
are worthless, have undue influence
and power. simply because their
fathers have big bank accounts. One
of these doesn't mind paying a hun
dred dollars for banquet to his
fraters at some fashionable hotel. The
poor member is placed in the embar-
RAISING situation both of having TO
accept the hospitality and in due time
OF returning the favor. Another bad
feature is that student may not take

On the Trail of White Slave Traders.

A unique movement has been inau-
gurated by the American Purity Fed
Grafton this year Instead of holding
its annual convention, as usual it's
officers and number of its depart
ment workers have planned to visit
together twenty or more of the lead
ing cities of Canada and the United
States, holding a one to three-day con-
ference at each STOP They do this
not only to instruct the people en-
route on the various phases Of the
purity question, but also in order that
they may have larger opportunities to
study local conditions.
They start from Chicago and swing
west through Canada to the Pacific
coast, then going south to Los An
geles, from which point they turn
east stopping at Ell Paso and Hous-
ton. Texas is highly favored in that
she gets two of these conferences.
The roster of the party includes Hon.
B. S Steadwell, president of the,
American Purity Federation and ed
itor of The Light, the official organ
of the federation; Rev. Ernest A.
Bell, of Chicago, chairman of the
white slave traffic committee, and
who, after years of missionary work
abroad, founded the famous midnight
mission of Chicago, giving it his per-
sonal direction and oversight for six
years. He is also editor and Joint au-

Railroads Have Themselves to Blame.

Railroads Have Themselves to Blame
1t is unusual for a railroad manager
TO get out and publicly announce that
the railroads are themselves to blame
for drastic legislation, but Mr.. Yoak-
um does that, and he goes further and
specifies some of the particulars of
his bill of Indictment He cites the
International & Great Northern case
as being a fruit of its management 1t
seems that the International & Great
Northern road. along with other
Texas roads, failed to furnish suffi-
cient rolling stock to move the cotton
of the big crops of few years back.
That cotton lay unprotected at the
railroad stations for months, until the
markings of the bales were oblit-
Grated When the ship sides were
reached there could be no Identified
ton. and the railroads had to sell the
cotton. Some railroads were very
slow in paying the owners of the cot
ton thus sold, and kept them out of
their money for long periods, never
paying for some of it. Mr.. Yoakum
charges that the International &
Great Northern sold cotton that way,
refused to pay for it, and then brought
on receivership which would debar
the owners from collecting. He thinks
the law to prevent the repudiating OF
such debts is a necessary and to be
expected action. brought on by the
railroads themselves-Te Tele-

A Pertinent Question.

What is the matter with so many
OF our young people who fail to get
along, and yet they have every adj
vantage that education and social
position can give? How often do
we hear this question asked by the
grave elders, who have a potent
knowledge, in their domestic expert
ences, whereof they ask. May we
not in truth answer that the elders
are 10 blame? They have striven to
give youth an education, in which no
body is fitted for low place, and ev-
erybody is taught to look for a high
one. Nowadays the idea of being
taught to fill an humble position in
life is hardly entertained. All want to
make their lives sublime and depart
ing leave big footsteps in the sands of
time. 1t sounds very fair, but it is a
cheat Humble employments are held
in contempt. Teach our young people
Christian humility. Commence slowly
the subordinate offices in life which
they must fill, and humble positions
taught to respect. to beautify and to
clorify them in lives of contented and
glad industry. Then should fortune
smile, all its advantages will be worth
lily added.-Pittsburg Catholic.
