Mr.. Richards. a former citizen of

The charm of the fair brides pres

Austin, Texas. Feb. 12.-Mrs. Hor'
tense Ward of Houston is asking the
Legislature to pass a law giving mar
ried women contractual rights. The
proposed measure has the endorse
ment of the Texas Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs. Similar legislation has
been placed on the statute books OF
many States. The Texas homestead
law was the first of its kind in the
world and was enacted primarily to
protect wives against the business
recklessness of husbands, and the
women now ask that the principle in
volved be expanded and extended to
all property.
There are other important measures
before the Legislature of exclusive in
terest to women. A bill granting the
right of suffrage to women has favor
able committee report in the House,
and the struggle for the keys to the
Alamo is always exclusively a ladies'
affair
The women do not lobby; they zap
peal to reason" but they are much
more successful in promoting legisla-
ton than men. This session of the
Legislature has witnessed more wom'
en- appearing before committees than
that of any assembly in the history OF
Texas lawmaking

OUR DUTY TO PosTERITY.

Some people oppose improvements
of all kinds that are brought about
through bond issue, on the ground
that we have no right to saddle debt
on our children. If by making such i'm
provements we were in reality sad
ding debt upon them, it would per.
haps be unwise, but such is not the
case. This has been the argument
from time immemorial of those who
are unprogressive, and it has been ac-
cepted as true by many well meaning
men who have not taken the time nor
trouble to analyze it.
Good streets and sidewalks, and
good public roads enhance the value
of the property We are to bequeath to
our children far more than the insig
nificant increase in taxes that we may
leave for them to pay. Not only that
but the comforts, conveniences, the
saving to them in transportation and
III many obuSi way ., oHOuiu NC ldheu
into consideration If we leave our
children good paved streets, good con-
crete sidewalks and first-class high
ways traversing the county in every
direction, they will not complain of the
small increase in taxes, but on the
other hand, will rise up and call us
blessed. In regard to increased values
through public improvements, the San
Antonio Express says:
when a street is paved, or a side
walk laid, the increased value to the
abutting property is actual and in
slant. The lots which are the best
improved bring the highest prices.
This is demonstrated in the real es-
tate market every day; it has been
demonstrated every day since man
first began to traffic in dirt, and il
will continue to be demonstrated
every day so long as man continues
to buy and sell property.
"There may be some exceptions, but
the rule is almost invariable that the
enhanced value of property brought
about by city improvements exceeds
by a substantial percentage, the cost
Of the Improvements. When man
goes out to buy site for home, he
wants the best that he can get for his
money. And accessibility is a factor
always taken into consideration
Muddy feet are not conducive to the
improvement of the looks or the
frightening of the serviceable life OF
rugs and carpets. Besides, they are
somewhat trying on, the nerves of the
good housewife.
