We received a letter this week
from an irate reader of the Signal
demanding the return of some
communications sent the office for
publication. None but a newspa-
per man knows how difficult it is
at times to handle long articles
when the copy hook is crowded
with such matter. Discrimination
is absolutely necessary and often
times the writer Of these glowing
articles is shielded from a critics
ing public by having his produc-
ton returned or consigned to the
waste basket, and instead of hav-
ing cause for complaint against
the newspaper he owes the one
who protects him lasting debt Of
gratitude.

Texas has received and is re-
ceiving full consideration from
the newspapers of the country,
and Texas, as one of the most inn
portant commonwealth OF the re-
public, fully deserves all the bou-
quets that have of recent years
been thrown at her.
The progress of Texas, the
prosperity of Texas, the develop
ment of that immense domain,
are all making for the progress,
the prosperity and the develop
ment of each and every one of
the other states and of the entire
republic.
II is estimated that the addi-
ton to the population of the
state since the recent census was
taken has, through immigration
alone, been no less than 100000
persons, and from all the states
of the North, from Maine to the
Rockies, there is a determined
and well defined movement of
of population to this Empire
State of the South.
While it is too early to com
ment definitely upon the result of
the present seasons crops of the
great staples Of the state, yet re-
ports are exceedingly favorable
as to cotton, wheat, corn and rice
conditions at this time, and it can
be stated as absolutely assured
that the acreage planted in each
of these important productions is
largely increased and that with
even average returns from the
planting and cultivation the har-
vest of Texas will be fully 20 per
cent larger that it has ever been
fro meach of the great staples
named above.
The high price of cotton has
stimulated the planters to put
much larger areas under cultiva-
ton for that fiber, while the men
from Iowa, Missouri, Illinois,
Kansas and from other states in
the great corn and wheat belt Of
the country who have recently
come interested in the farming
lands of Texas have placed hun
dreds of thousands of new acre
age in condition to give them re-
turns in wheat and corn.
Good weather for Texas crops
during April, May and June will
insure tremendous yield in both
of these grains, but the Texas
cotton crop will not be fully as
sured until September | arrives
without damage being done.
Recent discoveries of a large
field of natural gas and also of an
area of phosphate rock that is
said can furnish millions of tons
o thigh grade fertilizers give to
Texas two more natural resources
that can not fail to aid in the de-
velopment of her manufacturing
interests and the securing to her
agricultural interests of a long
continued fertility of the soil.
Texas possesses the very sound
est permanent of all bases of
prosperity in her ability to raise
from her soil the products most
needed and most in demand by
the population of every state and
every nation on the surface of
the globe.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
