without seeking to cast any undue
criticism upon the governor of Texas
we feel called upon to remark that
his repeated attacks upon the depart
ment of the attorney general are cal
culated not only to result badly to
his excelency but may bring the
whole state of Texas into reproach.
If the governors interferences were
in the interest of the state and not
so obviously the attempted payment
of a political debt his mistaken ac-
tions might not be the subject of such
wide comment There are great
many things that might engage the
full attention of our Local option
Governor to the good of the people
of the state, while this constant but
ting of his head against brick wall
can only be calculated to make his
corns hurt and give him a bad taste.
The same people that elected the
governor had something to do with
the election of the attorney general,
with this difference, that the attor-
nev general was elected by some
what more unanimous vote. There
may be something in this that his
execellency had not heretofore
thought of.

The Light feels honored in that its
columns seem to perform the func-
ton of a news gathering agency for
some of its esteemed nearby contem-
poraries OF course we would like to
receive credit for that for which we
have paid our money, but If that is
too much trouble we will try and be
satisfied with the thought that other
papers are trying in their feeble way
to help us carry the news to an anX-
iously awaiting people. It may be
day or two late in reaching those I'M
fortunates who depend on other sour
ces than the Light for their informa-
ton, but it is news just the same, and

WHAT CHICAGOANS THINK
OF LONE STAR STATF,

Many members of the party had
never been to Texas before. The trip
was revelation to them In order to
ascertain what they thought about
the state and to get expressions from
them as to the impressions made
upon them by this tour of the state a
representative of this paper sought
a few interviews with some of the
most prominent members of the dele
cation. These interviews came from
men who represented the various
commercial and Industrial enterprises
of the Windy City. One man in the
delegation represented bank whose
individual deposits amount to more
than the combined deposits of all the
national banks in the state of Texas.

themselves become more acquainted

which If followed as an example
would materially increase our pros
perity and happiness For instance,
Texas has appropriated more money

most magnificent roads. These,

tives, have taken steps to provide

rich and poor, may have a few hours
of delightful recreation.
