at NO time should public street be
allowed to be closed to the use of
the public. Even when it looks eX-
pedient to close street little used,
there usually comes a time later, as
a community develops when such
closing proves an unwise thing. 1t
should be the policy of the city to
keep all streets open, and where they
have been closed they should be re-
opened and kept open for all time to
come. This is especially applicable
to the case in hand, where the entire
south half of the city is accessible by
only two streets, making it necessary
for many people to walk or drive
blocks out of their way two and
three times day coming andi going
from their homes to their business or
occupations. The Herald has no axe
to grind, but believes that if streets
are available they should be used.
The city administration should COM
ply or the people should be told a
good reason why they do not.

THEY ARE IN DEAD EARNEST.

Citizens in the vicinity of the
Broyles mill site are in dead earnest
about the opening of Royal street
and Houston street across the |. & G.
N. tracks. The petitions, numerous.
ly signed, have been handed in to the
Herald office, with a request that
they be published. The only good
that would serve, perhaps, is to en-
phasize the earnestness of those in
the movement, and to show the num-
Der interested in the effort 1t can
be stated that practically all on Roy
all street, and on other streets in
the vicinity of the mill property, have
not only signed the petitions, but are
doing all possible to accomplish their
object. These petitions have been
placed before the city commissioners,
and if they fail to act, then other
and drastic efforts, if necessary, are
to be made, according to the Herald's
Information.
1t has been argued that the statutes
of limitation have been running
against this property, and that the
city has thus lost its claim on the
street rights. If the city ever had
any claim or any street rights that
have been closed to them, no matter
the number of years, the statutes of
limitation cut no figure, as the state
law provides exemption for city
streets and public alley-ways. If the
towns map ever called for a street |
closed for fifty years, if the claim of |
'roprietorship can be established, the
street can be forcibly opened, if the
'ity administration wants it opened.
And being thus armed with assur-
'nce the fight is going on, and the
determination to open the streets is
liked

A RIGHTEOUS MEASURE.

With 164,O00,000 acres of domain
and only 100000 in cultivation, it
would seem that there is ample room
in Texas for more than twice the
population she how has. With such
conditions confronting her, Texas can
III afford to enact laws that will him
der the Development of her resources,
and yet when she passes laws that
make it impossible for builders of
railroads to sell their bonds, she
makes it impossible to increase her
railway mileage, and without more
railways she cannot hope to make
as rapid progress in the way of de-
velopment as would be the case if
there were no such laws as are now
complained of by those who build
railroads.-Wichita Falls Times.
Suppose the Texas legislature forty
years ago had passed a law which
took from the men who furnished the
money to build railroads their rights
as first mortgages, how many miles
of track would be in the state today?
How many towns, how many cities,
how many farms, how many churches
and school houses? About as many

We will take it for granted that
the receiver continues to issue the
paper at Galveston and at Dallas,
keeping it up to the standard.
We know, of course, that the issu-
ance of the paper calls for liberal
expenditure.
But the announcement comes that
the receiver, instead of applying the
papers income to- it's daily expenses;
instead of paying paper bills and ink
bills and salaries and wages-instead
of these things, essential to the
papers publications. paying off the
mortgage, how would that strike you,
brother beloved of the State Press"
column? What sort of an excuse for
not settling at the end of the week
would you make to your landlady?
Isn't it quite likely that she would
have your trunk set out on the side
walk, seeing that neither it nor the
contents would fetch much more than
S1.60 at the secondhand store?
Neither the paper dealer nor the
ink man would furnished supplies to
the receiver for newspaper plant
who counted the mortgage the first
consideration, in which event there
would be no paper issued, and that
would destroy the value of the plant;
the mortgage would scarcely be worth
the paper on which it was written.
Just so with a railroad. Engineers

Paid; conductors are to be paid;
agents are to be paid; coal must be
bought; oil must be bought; repairs
must be made; claims must be met;
taxes must be paid, or business must
cease.
Now, that's all the 1. & G. N. bill. |
is; it simply says, as did Chief JUS
tice Waite, that these claims for op-
Grating expenses take priority of any
mortgage. What, would be the good
of the mortgage unless the property
were kept in use? And how could |
the property be kept a going concern

THE BIG PROBLEM.

The nation, the state, and every
community have their problems They
are manifold and reach out in differ
ent directions and effect different
parts of life. Palestine and Anderson
county have their problems, too But
just now we are going to talk about
one problem that is especially impor-
tant at this time. 1t is concerning the
idle lands of the county. Land yields
an income, in community sense,
only when it is working. Held for
higher prices may be beneficial to
the man who owns it and eventually
sells 1t at profit, but to be of any
immediate value to the home town or
the county generally it must be under
cultivation. At present this county is
getting benefits and profits from less
than twenty per cent of the lands of
the county. The results from this
to make it desirable that more of the
land be put to work. These lands are
as good as any in the country; they
are as capable of profitable cultiva-
ton, and can grow as great variety of
products as any lands in the world
The reason they are not occupied and
at work today is because the home
seekers have not had their attention
directed this way Men of means in
Palestine and in the county could un-
dertake no better business than that
of colonizing these lands and bring
ing the right kind of people to occupy
them. If a responsible company of
men would organize and take over
one or two thousand acres of good
land and then send an agent out and

A LIVE SUNDAY SCHOOL,.
Visitor Tells of Progressive School
Near Neches.

One of the most pleasant events it
has been my pleasure to attend was
Sunday school, not far from the
little town of Neches. Only five
miles west is the Mt. Vernon neigh
borhood, where this interesting, up-to-
date, progressive Sunday school holds
forth; and as is the Sunday school,
so is the neighborhood in general.
Thoroughly alive to each and every
interest, they work tremendously,
striving to do their best Methodist
in creed, they have that push and
force of character that makes sue
cess" their motto. Easter Sunday
exercises were fitting tribute to an
ideal day The children are ready to
meet every requirement, and the part
they take is one of the finest features.
Specialties in music, recitations and
drills were executed in a manner be-
speaking earnestness and thorough
preparation, and a willingness to
excel. At the head of this growing
Sunday school is a man of superior
merit, and the people made no mis-
take in electing Mr.. w. o. Camp as
their superintendent and leader, Hay-
ing great executive ability, he plans
his work ahead, assigning class work
to the different grades, and so inter
est never wanes. Blackboard work is
one of the most interesting methods
used. Questions on the lesson by
any one brings forth arguments that
prove that the people are close Bible
students, as well as thinkers and
doors. Having purchased a fine or
gan, the music is one of the main fea-
lures, and young and old lift their
voices in song which is soul-inspir-
ing, Miss Eunice Elrod, as organist,
directing and leading: Mr.. Camp is
ably assisted by a splendid corps of
teachers and their efforts are worthy
a much larger place. Nothing is lack
ing to make this Sunday school the
most progressive in the state.
The officers and teachers are:
w. o. Camp, superintendent; Miss
well Mccain, secretary; Mr. C. d.
Davis, Mr.. and Mrs A. w. Elrod, Mr.
VIM. Thornall, Mr.. T. G. Rhodes, Miss
Matte Dennis.
Truly, it is good to see, visit and
live in such community. The Mt.
Vernon district is truly and wonder
fully blessed in more ways than one.

people and locate them, giving them
sufficient time and help to establish
themselves as farmers, the profit
