SENATE CALLS NEW
COUNTY WHEELER
INSTEAD OF KENT

The senate committee on constitu-
tional amendments today approved the
bill to make a new county of part Of
Montgomery and agreed that II the
people of Alamo, the proposed county
seat, will raise $4,000 for a new court
house and Jail the new county will be
authorized and named Wheeler, in hon
or OF the late General Joe Wheeler
The committee needed numerous pro-
tests from residents of the proposed
county demanding that when created
1t should not be given the name of
Kent, after Oscar w. Kent, the lawyer
who recently was disbarred by the su-
preme court.
The bill undoubtedly will be passed
by the senate. A similar bill. though
carrying the other name for the coun-
ty, has already passed the house.

Our New Flag.

July 4 Old Glory win fly to the
wind a new flag.
BY official order the arrangement
of the stars will be changed SO as to
include the two recently admitted
states-Arizona and New Mexico
1t will be the first time that the
stars have been systematically and
symmetrically arranged. There will
be six rows of stars, each containing
eight stars. Thus, the forty-eight
states will be in symmetrical rows
and the entire appearance of the
flag will be improved.
There were, first, the thirteen
original states, and later, one by
one, with the exception Of Florida
and Texas, which were both adj
mitted to the Union in 1S45, the
other states have been added II the
flag.
There was a time prior to the adj
mission of Utah when the flag was
not so bad to gaze upon, for there
were then six rows of stars, three
rows containing eight stars and
three rows containing seven, the po-
sition of the stars alternating. When
Oklohoma was admitted five years
| ago, giving forty-six states to the
Union and fortysix stars to the flag,
it was necessary to rearrange the
stars so that the first, third, fourth
and sixth rows should contain eight
| stars each and the second and fifth
only seven stars. This change up
set the balance. Vow, with the adj
dition of ftwo stars, making forty
eight in all, there will be six rows
of eight stars each, filling the blue
field systematically.
There only remains on the out
side the District of Columbia, the
Districts of Alaska and Hawaii.
The new possessions can not yet
be considered as territories, for a
Government for Porto Rico was es-
tablished by the Fifty-sixth con
gress. The Philippines are under

BY all means, place raw wool on
the free list. The Wooden Trusts
profits last year amounted to only
$3.226,916. Of course, it should be
entitled to buy its raw material just
as cheaply as manufacturers n
other lands do. AS the tariff on
manufactured woolens will enable
the trust to keep up its present high
prices, its profits will be boosted
in Universe ratio as the tariff on
raw wool is cut down. The sheep
growers will suffer, of course, and
the trades that have p~rospered
through the sheep industry will lose
also, but what Of that? True, the
people in general will receive no
benefit, whatever from free raw
wool, but what then? If the Wooden
Trust is profited the rest of the
country may at least feel proud OF
the fine, fat trust which it has built
up.

ment. A bong mo-as we call it
in Paris-with a tendency to come
back Unexpectedly to the person who
projected it, has been known to pro-
duce very distressing results-as in
the celebrated case of DR.. Rainsford.
Congressman Campbell Of New
Hampshire furnishes the latest ex-
ample of the devastating qualities of
the homing epigram. "The Tepub-
lican party" he remarked, does not
believe in an appeal from the UNI
pire to the b~leachersn:' 1t was
really a neat way of presenting his
sentiments and, Incidentally, the
sentiment Of his header, Taft. I'm
happily there are certain sentiments
that are better unexpressed. To de-
mand the preference primary in
place of the mass convention, in
the view of Mr.. Campbell, is as the
appeal from the umpire to the
~bleacherS. If instead of 'tbleachers"
he had said "grand stand it might
not have hurt so bad. BY bleachers
he evidently means the common folk,
the r1asses, who sit in the sun and
pay most Of the gate money.
Just because they are only
common "bleachers" they are
mot so situated as to Judge clearly
all the nice points of the game. Not
qualified to find fault with the UNI
pires-whoever the umpires may be.
President Taft had already said
something to the same effect, but
not so pithily-not with such con-
temptuous cas Mr.. Campbell
put his leaders views into a COM
pact form, easy t remember. The

FORT BROWN
MAY BE OURS.
Interesting and Encouraging Letter
from Mr.. Garner-Senator Bailey
Bring the Matter Up.

The letter given below will be in
teresting and also very full of com-
fort to the citizens of Brownsville
1t was written to Louis Cobolini by
Congressman Garner, and it deals,
as will be seen, with the attempt to
secure a portion of old Fort Brown
to be used by the city for a park
and other purposes. Mr.. Garner is
evidently much encouraged at the
prospects as he views it from Wash
ington. The letter follows:
Mr.. L. Cobolini,
Brownsville, Texas.
Dear Mr.. Cobolini:
Your favor of the 1st, enclosing
petitions to Senator Bailey, Senator
Culberson and myself, received last
night. | will go by and leave these
petitions with the two senator's in
the morning.
l herewith hand you an amend
ment, which | have submitted to
Senator Bailey, and which, | under
stand, he will introduce and try to
put through in the senate.
If Senator Bailey succeeds in put
ting this amendment on in the Sen
ate | have an understanding with
the conferees on the part of the
Houes that they will accept it..
Should it become a law, ! feel that
we will have little trouble in secur-
ing such portions of Fort Brown for
Park purposes as will be most desir-
able for that purpose, and such por-
tIons for Hospital purposes as are
best suited to that work.
Trusting that we may be able to
secure this property for the city oil
Brownsville, and with kindest per-
sonal regads, | am,
Very truly your,
JOHN N. GARNER.
The amendment to the army 'ap-
preparation bill which Senator Bail
ey will offer is as follows:
Provided further, that the
President, or his representative,
be, and he is hereby authorized
to convey to the city Of Browns
vile, and any charitable asso-
citation, in the State of Texas,
for park and hospital purposes
such portions of Fort Brown
Military Reservation in the
State of Texas, not to exceed
fifty acres, the location OF said
tracts of land to be determined
by the President, or his rep
resentative. Provided that
should the city Of Brownsville,
or said charitable association
fail or refuse to use, OIL should
abandon the property herein
authorized to be conveyed, or
any portion thereof, for the
purposes designated, then such
property shall revert to the
United States and become a part
of the public domain thereof"
