OUTWARD FLOW OF GOLD.

Three reasons why panics come to
the United States: France keeps its
money at home, and Germany is much
the same One of Mr. William Ran
than $300,000,000 is sent to Europe
every year by aliens in the United
States to be deposited in savings
banks or invested in lands The fig
ures are semi-official, and doubtless
not far from the truth. Italy, Hun
gary, Japan and other over-crowded
nations are poor. They send their
workers here by the hundreds and
thousands. Wages are high here, and
the cost of living in the countries
named is low. The thrifty aliens save
their money and send it home From
San Francisco and the Pacific coast
cities alone the japanese are sending
home an average of $l,000,000 a
month. There is no way to prevent
this enormous drain of American cash
The aliens earn it, save it and may
do as they please with it. But their
thrift hurts the United States. There
are other sections drained of Ameri-
can millions. Every year, for in
stance, Americans spend 100000, 900
TO owners of foreign ships. These
millions, earned in the United States,
go to swell the deposits in foreign
banks. From $1OO,OOO00O to $780,
100000 is taken from the United
States every year by rich American
tourists. 1t would be difficult to esti-
mate the number of millions sent to-
Europe every year by rich Americans
for luXuries. In the fiscal year 1909
Americans sent TO Europe 1872, 900, 600
for diamonds and jewelry. They sent
$5,00O,000 for millinery and 81 ,000, 900
for feathers and flowers. The one
slimmer of light in the matter is the
fact that the United States is the
richest nation on the globe, and can
afford it." Correct as to the outward
flow of gold, but can the United
States continue to afford it? Is it

possible for a nation to ship $1,000,
100000 a year to foreign lands and
continue to grow richer? After the
natural resources of the nation have
been exploited and the mineral wealth
looted, what will happen then?-Dal-
las Times Herald.
This is one side of a gloomy pic
ture, but reversed it becomes a pic
ture of gold in a silver frame. 1t is
also true, good Fitz, that many mil
lions are rolling this way annually
to buy American feedstuffs and cloth
ing fiber. If we are indeed sending
our millions away for luxuries and to
keep the other folk at home, we are
just as truly collecting a good toll
from these same dear hearts for their
feed and clothes. When the country
can stand the drain no longer. per-
haps we shall see all of the vast ter
ritory of the south, how idle. at work
producing additional feed and cotton
and wheat for the hungry and un-
clothed of the world. Fact is, the
day must come when more Americans
will be producers, men who are get
ting a living from the soil, and when
this condition prevails nothing can
affect our national prosperity.

WANTED-A RAILROAD.

If the hopes and ambitions of many
people through the section to be eff
fected are ever realized there will
some day, and many of. us hope soon,
be railroad from this city through
Fairfield, Mexia, and on to Waco and
Hamilton, virgin territory that only
needs a railroad to make it great. By
looking at the map it will be seen
that this line would be straight as
Texas timber belt with Central Texas,
bringing together two sections that
have much in the way of commerce to
exchange. Fairfield is especially ac-
tive for this road and is ready to
boost for it, and Waco has long con-
tended for an air line connection with
Palestine and this section Of Eastern
Texas. Hamilton is also praying and
working for a railroad. So, since all
hands are willing and anxious for
such road it should not be a very
hard task to get it going. There is
no more valuable country in Texas to-
day than that covered by such sur
vey, and a road through such a sec
ton would be assured of good traf-
fic The towns interested should get
their heads together and make the
effort.

aid believes plan can be devised by
which the streets of Palestine can be
materially improved and made almost
as good as residence streets need be
without resorting to any one of the
three plans suggested by DR.. Grant,
namely, the taxation of all the peo-
pie, the taxation of those to be ben
Gifted by special piece of road i'm
provement, or through the issuance of
bonds. We may not have reached
that stage of street making yet, but
we have reached the point where
sand and gravel can be mixed with
the clay, where the split log drag can
be used, or where the scraper and
roller can be used in the making of
streets. These things are not done,
yet Palestine now owns the scraper
the roller, and can make the drags in
thirty minutes
1T DOES NOT CALL FOR A BOND
ISSUE OR EXTRA TAXATION TO
IMPROVE THESE STREETS; IT
DOES CALL FOR A LITTLE CIVIL
A LITTLE HARD
WORK, A LITTLE GOOD JUDO
MENT, AND A LITTLE DETERMI-
NATION TO DO THE BEST POS
SIBLE WITH THE MEANS AT
HAND.
We have space to give any of the
city authorities who desire to discuss
the matter of better streets.

DIR. GRANTS LETTER.

The Herald was glad to give space
yesterday to letter from City Com
missioner Grant on the road PROPOSE
ton. The DR.. has got as far along as
many of US, to the knowledge that we
need the roads and have not got them
and like most of us he stopped there.
The Herald is glad the commissioner
took this much interest in the subject,
however, but it is inclined to think
he scattered his shot a wee bit too
much While we all admit that the
county roads are by no means what
be very much better than they are
yet the Herald is not willing to admit
that the county roads are one whit
more discreditable to the county than
the streets of this good old town are
discreditable to the town. In fact,
if any preference has to be shown we
rather think the county is entitled to
it. And as DR.. Grant is a member of
the city commission and in a meas
ure responsible for conditions here in
town in a public way, we want him to
come right across and talk about
these streets inside the city We do
not mean this for pertness, but we
are honestly anxious to have the city
commissioners take hold of the matter
of street building right here in town.
When we do our duty here in Pales-
tine we will be in position to invite
emulation from the county. The Her

STRAWS IN THE WIND.

The Herald yesterday surmised that
when the anti element realizea&hat
Colquitt could not deliver the goods
and control enough votes to land the
governors office that influence would
switch over to PoindeXter. Others
were surmising at the same time, and
matters that have come to our notice
over night indicate that the switch is
now taking place. The following was
printed in the Houston Post of yester-
day, and is quoted as coming from
prominent North Texas man.
Permit me to make an observation
that has a bearing upon the political
situation in Texas that should be par
ticularly considered by the people of
Houston. and that is, if the people of
South Texas are disposed to straddle
between Davidson and Colquitt the
people OF North Texas who are in
spired by other things than merely
the moral uplift will line up for Poin-
dexter. Our first choice is ColQuitt,
largely because he stands for the con-
tinued prosperity of Texas and for
cessation of political strife But we
realize that unless Colquitt comes to
our section with the support of those
who do not favor statewide prohibit
ton and who live in South Texas, that
there's a grave element of chance in
dividing this vote between Colquitt
and Davidson, of Johnsons winning
the race, and rather than permit this
to come to pass we are willing to
make an alliance with the more con-
sentative moral uplifters and put
PoindeXter in the chair. That's the
situation. Now make the most of it."

A congress of European astronomers

because these men Of science have
thought that it represented the tiniest
fraction of time which could be appre-

thousandvh part of II second is actually
used in physical science. especially liz
certain important uses of electricity
For scientific purposes. however, the
official present moment flashes from
the future TO the past in the hun

seem so remarkable when it is recalled
that speed records for both horses and
men runners are officially calculated i'm
fractions as small as onc-ffth of Il sec

But in astronomy it is needed to
have the hundrcdth part of second.
for in that moment light can travel

Time. then, for all men is relative TO
their personal sensations. Yet time is
real enough. 1t takes actual time for
