BEGUN IN EARNEST


To day three more cars of ma
chinery for the power plant and flour
mill were received, and 1t Is being I'M
loaded at the brick warehouse and at
the mill site. These cars contained
the fine machinery for the mill and
part of the large engine.
Mr.. j. D. Mann, operating engineer

remain permanently and to oversee
the unloading of the machinery. His
family will arrive in few days, as
soon as he has secured residence.
Work on the power plant building
will be started Monday and Will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. Mr.. Mann stated to a re-
porter this morning that II nothing
happens the plant will be in opera
ton in sixty days.

Children by the Litter.

A woman in Oklahoma got aboard
train with thirteen ofner sons, and
when the conductor came around PREF
scented one adult ticket. The conduc-
tor told her he could not carry whole
Sunday school on one ticket, when
she politely Informed him that they
were all under five years old, and
were all hers, and to substantiate the
fact she took from her valise the
family Bible, in which was recorded
the names and ages of each of the
children. This settled the business,
and the mother and her sons contin-
ued to occupy five double seats on
single ticket. The woman was Mrs.
Frank Scott, of Highland, Kan, and
she and her husband hold the record
for triplets, having five sets, and two
sets of twins. Although they have
been married not quite ten years, they
have had nineteen children, all boys,
and thirteen Of them are living.-Min-
eral Wells Index.

THE lOAFER,

For a season the loafer steered clear
of Navasota, but recently he is in evil
dence again And especially is this so
with the negro element. Every day
we note people in quest of negro to
do small job, and Notwithstanding
the negro barber shops and restau-
rants harbor the usual number of
daily sweaters, the jobs go begging.
The negro loafers get their regular
handouts from the back door of our
kitchens and they don't have to work.
In the meantime, does anyone know
of an effective remedy?-Navasota
Examiner-Review.
Yes; enforce the vagrancy laws.
The Senter law, enacted by the Thirty
first legislature, will rid any town of
loafers if enforced

try, there would be rioting and blood
shed from one end of the country to
the other.
A nation has no more right to be a
disturber of the peace than an indi-
yidual. In the absence of any inter-
national authority to establish order
in Mexico and see that 1t is main
tanned, it is clearly the duty OF the
United States to intervene, as was
done in the case Of Cuba.
1t is hoped that before many years
an international court of arbitration
will be established, to which all such
cases can be referred. This will re-
lieve the American people OF an un-
pleasant responsibility.

INTERVENTION SEEMS NEWT
ABLE.

Affairs in Mexico continue to go
from bad to worse. The four million
dollars voted by the Mexican congress
to put down the revolution seems to
have aroused to activity the masses
of the people who have heretofore
been passive sympathizers with the
insurrectos, and the consequence Is
that. whereas military operations
have heretofore been almost entirely
confined to the vicinity of the north
ern boundary, there is now scarcely
a state in the republic where there
are not bands of men in arms against
the government.
But the worst feature OF the situa-
ton is the lawlessness that Is every
where becoming prevalent. Bands OF
robbers are taking advantage of the
absence of any authority to enforce
law and order to plumber indiscrimi-
nately all the defenseless who have
anything they want. Appeals TO the
federal government for protection
meet with no response, evidently for
lack Of ability to afford it. Foreigners
in Mexico. especially Americans, are
growing insistent and clamorous IN
their demand that the government TO
which they owe allegiance give them
the protection which the local author
tiles fail to provide. In response to
these appeals the American ambassa-
dor has advised those who make them
to arm and defend themselves as best
they can. In word, Mexico is rapid
ly lapsing into anarchy.
Should the rebels succeed in over
throwing the Diaz regime it is scarce
ly possible that they could organize a
government strong enough to restore
and to preserve order. There is little
cohesion or concert of action among
them and the revolution has as yet
developed no great leader and organ
lZeT WIFI SAtCullNC dpihty
to mold the chaotic elements into an
harmonious cosmos. Francisco |. Ma
dero, Jr., has proven himself patriot
but he has not demonstrated extra
ordinary ability, either as a general
or as a statesman
Moreover, the character OF the Mex
lean people must be considered. A
vast majority of them, probably nine
tenths, are so grossly ignorant that
they have no conception of the priv
ileges and obligations of citizenship
They can scarcely be said to have
standard of right. They see no harm
in selling their votes and, as rule
they follow their leaders implicitly
courage and cunning being the quail
tiles which they most admire. If the
effort were made to hold a free and
unrestricted election in Mexico, such

THE LOGICAL POINT.

The last map published in the Hous'
ton papers several weeks ago was
designed to locate the Bayou City on
deep water, and placed her right on
the shore of Galveston bay, on the
site occupied by Texas City. If there
is such a thing as hog, Houston
is a whole swine ranch.-Texas City
Times.
Instead of being disgruntled, Texas
City ought to feel complimented, for
it shows that the Houston engineers
know that Texas City is the logical
point for the seaport of Texas.

All lovers of peace hope that some
way will be found to obviate the neces-

at present there is little ground for
such hopes. President Taft has re-

the wishes of the American people.

TWO THOUSAND CLERKS AND
SHOP MEN OUT-GENERAL
STRIKE NO SURPRISE.
there

Approximately 1000 clerks and
shop men of the Illinois Central en-
ployes South of the Ohio River are
on a strike, the number being aug
mented today by the walkout of 400
shopmen at New orleans. This was in
addition to the 2S0 clerks who went
out today
At Memphis, practically all the
clerks went out, and later were fol
lowed by the shopmen, in all, about
l.1OO men striking. These, together
with the clerks in the smaller offices
who answered the first strike call,
brings the number to about 1000.
No serious violence has occurred at
any points. To forestall trouble, the
Illinois Central has obtained tempor-
airy federal restraining orders at New
Orleans and Memphis preventing any
one interfering with workmen or
traffic.
Seventy strike breakers have been
sent into the offices at New Orleans
where they are housed, fed, and do
their work. Several ar eworking at
Memphis. The railroad officials say
they will have freight, which has been
delayed at Memphis and New Orleans
moving promptly tomorrow
The strike Of the shopment has not
been authorized, 1t is stated.
1t is said local conditions had
great deal to do with these men strik-
ing, both at New Orleans and Mem
phis. However, union officials at both
points say they would not be sur
prised should general strike Of shop
men Of the Illinois Central be called.
This would affect about 1900 men.
