view OF making Improvements prepar-

accompanied by Resident Engineer
George Jarvis, who made the neces-
sary surveys and left today for Pales-
tine, where blue prints of the switches
will be prepared.
While in the city the officers of the
Commercial Club discussed with Mr..
Wilmington the eXpediency of putting
on a passenger train between Bryan
and Valley Junction. Mr.. Wilmington
stated that he would take the matter
up with the head offices and would do
everything possible to secure the serv-
ice. He stated further that he thought
that after August l a mixed train
could be run between Bryan and Val
ley Junction, arriving at Bryan at s
a. m. and returning at . p. m.
This service has been desired by the
business men of Bryan and the resi-

made it was sure to prove such pay

The Correct View of II.

We do not know whether it was a
grandstand political play or not, that
rendered resignation of Senator Bailey.
To be liberal with him and possibly
unduly fair we are going to admit his
absolute sincerity in it. 1t is all We
have right TO do unless We had proof
to the contrary. OF course We could
surmise, speculate ard theorize and
by circumstantial evidence make out
a good case to the contrary. But this
we are not going to do.
We believe Bailey thought that he
ought to do just what he did do. He
acted on one of those first impressions.
which is nearly always both right and
honorable. With this premise We are
going to maintain that Bailey did just
what any honorable man in his place
should have done-resigned.
Whenever a public official is out of
harmony with his party. the party that
honored him and trusted him, he ought
to resign. 1t is the only right and hon
orable thing for him to do whether he
is serving as a senator or representa-
tive either in congress or the legisla-
ture. And there is nothing palmer or
clearer than that Bailey is out of har-
mony with his party colleagues in the
senate and in congress.
In spite of HIS great intellect and
his once great prominence, he stands
today discredited by his party asso-
ciates and deposed as their leader,
This may be deplorable, but it is true.
He stood practically alone in his de-
Tense of Lorimer and stood more near
ly alone in opposing the admission of
Arizona to statehood. Under these
circumstances, unless he was self
abased. unless his spirit and ambition
had left him, there was no right thing
for Bailey to do but resign. And hav-
ing resigned he should not have per-
mitted lot of satellites to have
dimmed the lustre of the act by caus-
ing him to reconsider and withdraw
his resignation.-Tyler Courier-Times.
