 Samuel w. Phillips of San Antonio Tex, says Texas can support millions by its agricultural resources
 Texas can find room for all of the surplus population of the north for many years to come" said MT. Phillips This state contains almost 2660O0 square miles, We could support population of 36,50O,- OCO if Texas were populated as dense- ly as New York, 92.701 ,000 if our ratio of population to area were the same as m Massachusetts. Texas is bigger than the German empire, which has about 65, ,O0o- 900 inhabitants. Land is cheap in Texas, conditions are desirable, and there is room for millions of people.
 Tt is not many years since good Texas land could be bought for cents an acre. and, later the price went to 25 cents. Still later the state sold millions of acres at the uniform price of $1 an acre on 10 years time. Only one-fortieth of the purchase price was paid down and in- terest on the other was at the rate of per cent As the state did not know what to do with such large sums. if paid in a lump, the ranchers merely paid in- terest, as a rule, after the first charge of less than 3 cents an acre. To this day there are tracts of enormous size that never have been paid for.
 "On account of our large acreage the amount of land under cultivation Is com paratively small. and values in many places are low. Texas is now importing more forage than she grows. We have many truck farmers, but they do not sup ply more than one-third of what Is con sumed. It often happens that we get potatoes from Colorado and various veg etables from Missouri. There Is an am pie local market for farmers who will grow such things in Texas"

 A much admired visitor in Washington recently was Miss Agnes Slayden of New York, a tall and graceful blonde. who has been the guest of her aunt Mrs. James Slayden, wife of Congressman Slayden of Texas. At the reception given by the Vice President and Mrs. Sherman Miss Slayden wore a one-piece gown of bronze- toned satin, which gained it's distinction entirely from the well-built fashion in which it was made, as 1t was devoid of trimming as Mrs Sherman's white and black gown, and almost as severe. A deep band of gold-embroidered lace fn- ished the top of the square-cut neck. from which the satin fell in close, graceful lines to the end of the square train.

ANENT "NosoDYS DAUGHTER."
; Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Somehow we have received the inn
preston that The New Theatre was estab-
lshed to give for the most part plays OF
American writer's that were of highest
merit both as to art and ennOblng influ-
ence In your issue of February 15 there is
a column Of criticism and commentator OF
the play "Nobodys Daughter" which was
written. we observe. by a woman.
In this play Honora May is "Nobodys
Daughter" Her parents are unmarried,
Colonel Torrens and a woman who later
becomes Mrs. Frampton. These parents.
we are told. twenty years after their
youthful infatuation look back upon the
affair and laugh" II was "a mistake"
they say. nothing more.
Now, we ask. can woman on the stage
thus talk and Jest with a man concerning a
lapse from virtue. which has I'm many, many
instances brought to the female heart the
bitterest fruits of shame and sorrow, with
out peril To the purity of her own mind?
Would a noble souled mother desire to see
daughter act such part? laugh on
the part Of actors is by sympathy created
in the audience. and II man and a woman
lest over their fall from virtue. Is the in
fuence heathful upon the multitude wit
Messing the play? viii not the practical
result be "A making light of virtue in real
life? In a world of temptation there is
need especially by the young. Of influences
that brace up virtue rather than break IL
down " |. VI. BOGERT.

New-York tribune., 1911-02-28
THE FRENCH CRISIS.

There are two main reasons for re-
GREETING the resignation of the BRAND
ministry. One is. that il may he sig
nificant Of a return to the old system of
governmental instability, with change
Of Cabinet every few months. If not
Oftener Waldeck Rousseau put an end
TO that system for many years. and It
was hoped that it had gone forever. The
revival of it now. at the very time when
that statesman's papers are being pub
lished and are affording new revelations
Of his greatness, would be deplOrable.
The other cause for regret is the en-
couragement which the incident may af-
ford to the Socialist enemies of the
French Republic. Mr.. Brands chief bat
ties have been with the Socialists. who
have become far greater menace To the
republic than the Royalists and the I'M
perialists combined ever were. The I'M
preston will prevail that they drove him
from office That may not be correct but
entirely correct conceptions Of such
matters are not always prevalent. What
is indisputable is that he has been fight
ing the Socialists and has become weary
and has lost much support, and there
fore withdraws
The outlook would be disheartening If
there were not a reasonable hope that all
these years since Waldeck Rousseau re-
organized France have educated the
French people up to better things than
they knew before. and that there is now
a popular stability Of purpose and so
briefly Of judgment which will prove to
be the saving factor in the problem. This
may make it possible for some man 20
succeed BRAND as BRAND succeeded
Clemenceau and as Clemenceau succeed
ed Combes, and thus To maintain con
tinuity of policy, particularly on this
one subject, which is the most important
now before France The strong manner
In which the Chambe" not long ago sup
ported Mr.. BRAND against Socialism
gives ground for expecting that the new
or the reorganized ministry will be com
mitted to the Republican and therefore
the anti-Socialist policy. Certainly the
welfare of the Frepch nation demands
such Il solution Of the crisis.
New-York tribune., 1911-02-28
THE NEW JERSEY CANAL CASE.

THE NEW JERSEY CANAL cA"h'
An interesting and perhaps highly sig
niticant complication has arisen III Ne"
Jersey i'm the negotiations ana lltlga'lon
over the old Morris Canal The request
of the Iehich Valley Railroad Compan!
to he permitted to surrender 10 the Suaie
It's lease of the canal and ltS WaieI
RIGHTS we have already discussed. cfose
upon il came the decision of Nlce-Cnah-
celIor Stevens. to the effect that the
orant Of the canal terminal basin AT Jer-
sev CITY to the railroad company IN zee
was illegal and that that immensely val
liable property must revert to the state.
This puts the whole case in very al
ferent light to all parties concerned
The suggestion has often been made
that the object of the railroad company
in leasing the canal was partly TO sup
press competition and partly. indeed
chiefly. to get possession or the cahai
hasin for use not as canal terminal so
much as railroad terminal. ana thls
secure for itself fine outlet on New
York Bay. At any rate, the company ana
seek possession Of the basin, not by
lease. but in fee II paid the state the
sum of $4,000 for Il supposed grant III
perpetuty of Il property which Is estl-
mated to be worth several millions. Now
the Vice Chancellor declares that the
grant was void. and that the state must
repay the S4S.WlO. with interest. and the
railroad company must surrender the
basin to the state. An appeal will prob
ably be taken from this decision to the
Court of Errors and Appeals.
This development in the case will
probably have a material effect upon the
states reply to the petition for surrender
of the canal. 1t also emphasizes the con-
sideration which we have already ex-
pressed. that most important turning
point in the states canal policy. and also
in its riparian lands policy. has been
reached 1t is not to he supposed that
the state will summarily eject the rail
road company from the terminal, but
neither does it seem likely that the
Legislature will be prevailed upon TO
make the perpetual grant which the Ri
parian Commissioners tried but were I'M
able to make. The policy which is now III
favor is for only limited leases of ri
parian lands, so that the state may profit
from the increase of values. Whatever
becomes of the canal. therefore. it is not
improbable that if the Nice-ChancellorS
decision stands. an arrangement will be
made whereby the railroad will continue
to enjoy the use Of its great terminal, but
on terms more advantageous to the state.
