The Same Old John Garner.

The Galveston News of last Sun
day entertained a very innocent
looking and unsophisticated pic
ture of Congressman John n. Gar
ner of Uvalde. Can it be possible
that this is the same John Garner
thai Cecil Smith of Sherman used to
lovingly refer to as 1.-The desperate
statesman of the chapparal?" Can
it be? Oh why should the spirit Of
mortal be changed? We do not know
the present John.-Georgetown
Commercial.
State Press knew John Garner
when the latter was a candidate for
lawyer. and put in the time be-
tween his study periods (there was
a lot of such time, by the way in
such harmless outdoor sports as
hunting picnics, digging fish bait,
swapping horses and getting his hair
cut at the barber shop. AS we re-
member it, John cared little for
shaves or shines. but had a passion
for hair-cuts. 1t was currently un-
derstood around town that his hair
was inclined to curl, and if it were
not kept closely cropped it would
turn into ringlets and thereby unfit
its owner for his role as friend of
the great common people. Even be-
fore John Garner got half through
Blackstone he became suffused with
a determination TO stand between
the "tOillGg millions" and Opres-
sion, and well he knew that if he
wore curled hair he would be under
the suspicion of wearing pink under
clothes. And no man in pink under
clothes ever had any real success
as leader of the masses. Time passed,
John Garner was elected LAWYER
(magnum cum laude), and, with his
credentials in his pocket, his hair
closely moved and a railroad ticket
jostling 1915 on his hip, he bore
down on Uvalde and began at once
TO defy the myrmidons of special
privilege. From his law office he
went to the county judges bench,
from that to the legislature and
thence to congress. And in every
office he has held he has been ener-
getic and intelligent and constant
in his devotion to his public duties.
If the News picture showed him diff
ferent from your recollection of the
real John Garner, remember that he
has been in Washington several
years, and that, although he may
look somewhat more II and dress
rather more like an illustrated cloth
ing ad. than formerly, he is at bot
tom the same old John Garner-op-
timistic, unaffected and unterrifiied.

HOTEL SITE.


1t is somewhat discouraging to
learn that the tourist hotel commit
tee has been unable so far to secure
a site for the structure which will
undoubtedly be one of the greatest
development promoters the town
could have.
The project has assumed tang
ible form. In the hands Of an ac-
tive working committee of promi-
nent citizens, it has advanced TO a
stage where certainty of success
seems assured. Subscriptions have
been secured for a very considerable
part of the $1,000 900 which Browns
vile must raise in order to obtain
the 100000 which Mr.. Yoakum
has agreed to secure, and there is
good reason to believe that the full
amount will be forthcoming.
But, we can not build the hotel
without a site. This. so far, the
committee has been unable to Sc
cure. The few sites available
which must include at least half a
block-have been found so high
priced as to make it impossible to
purchase them for the hotel. This
is unfortunate. The attitude of the
property owners may even defeat the
hotel project entire~. Some of our
citizens, it is true, have shown
themselves liberal and progressive
and are Offering lots at a reasonable
figure in order to secure the hotel,
but others, on learning for what
purpose their lots are wanted, have
Immediately raised the price to a
very much higher figure than they
were willing to accept before. This
IS to be regretted, and it is TO be
hoped the property owners may see
their mistake before it is too late.
Such a policy makes us almost APP
near hostile TO the hotel project. 1t
appears almost is if we did not want
this big, 5000, 600 home for tourists,
when other towns. would jump at
the chance to get 1t, and sell lots
much cheaper for such a purpose
than for anything else, in order to
secure it..

NOVEL EXPERIENCE OF A
ST. L0UISAN IN MEXICO.
Frisco Representative Accidentally
Wins a Game Cock and Has Ex-
citing Time at the Cock Pit.

L. NJ. Harris of St. Louis, press
representative of the Frisco, who
is here with the Good Reads Special,
will return home with a rare dis
tinction for a st. Louisan-that Of
a cock fighter. Sunday afternoon,
Mr.. Harris with t. l.. Munce. an
other Frisco press representative,
alos of St. Louis-both former news
paper men, byt the way-wandered
across the Rio Bravo seeking diver
sion in old Mexico. Their wander
ings finally led them to the cock pit
near Matamoros, and they soon be
came absorbed in the COX fights
Presently a Mexican approached
them with a list and pointing to the
list said:
"Un dimey."
Thinking a purse was being maze
up for one of the cock fighters, DO h
ST. Louisans cheerfully handed over
a dime. In a little while the Mex
lean returned carrying under his
arm a wiry game rooster. He
handed the bird over to the very
much surprised Mr.. Harris, who
learned then that his dime had
bought a chance in a rattle and that
he was the winner of one Of the
gamest of game cocks. Mr.. Harris
was game, too, so he took advantage
of the situation at once and put his
fighting bird right into the thick
of the battle, in the pit. Several
other Americanos present Joined
them, and all began betting on Mr..
Harris rooster, which 0 proved
itself TO be the best bird in the pit.
The little crowd of Americanos took
in quite a harvest of pesos on the
operations in the pit for the next
half hour-wihch they Immediately
after gave away, however, to a local
charity, to show that il was all
Gust for fun" At least, that is the
way the story goes-or ought TO GO.
And when they had tired Of the
game, Mr.. Harris made glad the lit
tie Mexican who had been playing
the cock for him, by making him
a present of the feathered con-
queror.

Our ball team is not getting the
support they are entitled to. They
are playing fast game Of ball and
are entitled to a big crowd every
time they play a game on the home
grounds. Not one of the players is
receiving anything for his services
while playing ball, but it costs
money to bring outside teams here
and buy balls and bats. II some
of the citizens would give half the
amount of money they bet agains'
the home team, for the support O
them, we would have better ball
playing and good feeling among
the players. When they bet against
the home team, they nearly always

The committee that went to
White Sulphur Springs, returned
on Thursday evening and reported
a pleasant trip.
They interviewed the county
commissioners regarding an ap-
preparation for Meagher county
Fair. The commissioners thought
they had not been treated fairly
last year by the Fair Association
and we're inclined not to give any
thing for it's support. After consi.
derable discussion with the com
mittee they agreed to let the un
pleasantness of the past go, and
try and help the fair again this
year with a liberal appropriation
The Meagher County Fairs ain
is to advertise the county, anc
bring to the public's notice thu
great advantages we can offer fo5
the settler and homesteader.
The committee having the fai
in charge are all business men,Wh'
intend to manage it as busines
proposition. The County Commls
sioners are right to be particula
with what they do with the count:
funds, but we think we are entitle
to a liberal amount to help th
fair.

A Thought for Sunday.

II know that every man should
eat and drink and enjoy the fruits
Of his labor; it is the gift OF God.
The writer Of Ecclesiastes the
Preacher, had some ideas that
we're pessimistic, but many others
that were full Of good cheer. In
i world Of faultfnding and forget
fulness he points out a few things
that every one has to be thankful
for.
Man is condemned to labor il he
would live, and many complain pc
cause of it. Suppose that he should
be compelled to labor, but be de-
prived of the fruits Of his labor!
The enjoyment of results which
we may bring about through our
own efforts is one Of the keenest
as we'll as one Of the most common
pleasures Of life, Whether it be
the satisfaction of looking at well
swept house, a we'll weeded garden
a we'll made wagon or well wordeo
lecture, there is a sense OF achleve
ment that rcpays for all the toll
| If this were not SO, this world woule
be a dreary one.
The capacity to enjoy the frui
of our labors is the gift of God
says the Preacher.
| Whata great gift it is, and hov
widely it's benefits are distributed
among the children Of men.

Journal is seeing the shadow OF

mitting the probable advent OF

Tt is a pity however that any man

calling an entire community OF
