OUR ONE BEST WISH.

The Herald is optimistic for the
future of this good old town, and
hopes for many good things in the
year to come. But if it could reach
into the bag of good fortune and pull
out the very best prize for the town
possible to obtain in the coming
twelve months it would readily select
good streets and sidewalks as the
thing of material worth most to be
desired. But these improvements are
not to be obtained from bags of good
fortune or through wishing. They
are the result of intelligent effort.
The problem seems simple enough if
it could only be worked out With
the present outlay of salaries spent
in a years time for street direction a
competent civil engineer and street
builder could be employed to give all
of his time and knowledge to this
task. And that is the kind of man a
private corporation would employ to
look after such work The city's bust
ness should be managed in identically
the same way This is intended as
no criticism on any man personally,
but is simple truth, based on the
principle that if you want a thing done
right you must get man who knows
how.

The census bureau gave Corsicana
less than ten thousand population. Of
course there is mistake there. The
count was Indifferent, because the
capital of Navarro is better town
than that, and has been these past
six or eight years. But the figures
will have to stand. The people over
there are entitled to a howl of the

INTEREST IN ESPERANTO
e Is BEING SHOWN HERE

Editor Dcseret News:
AN article appeared in one of the
local journals n short time ago. and
probably many people read foi the first
time. that the idea of an international
language was IN accomplished fact.
and that people Of nearly every ma

verse or correspond by means OF .IIs-

There are undoubtedly in this western
city many skcptics who think that the

should like to try and prove to them
that it is not so. The idea Of an in
terna,ioral language Is moi new, hnv-

people of different nationtlitics using

houses, being alive to the usefulness OF
the language, are using II from q COM

New York, May 3.-More warrants

ostensibly for immoral purposes by the
seekers after evidence, are being held
in some secret place by the prosecu-
