The good roads movement is grow
ing, and also the use of automobiles
on country roads is growing. For city
people the automobile is a luxury or
at least convenience, but for coun-
try life it is becoming a necessity. In
ten years it will revolutionize country
life.-Farm and Ranch
There is still a strong prejudice
against the automobile by many peo-
pie living in the country. This, how.
ever, is gradually giving way and will
soon disappear. The convenience and
real usefulness of the automobile is so
apparent that those opposed to it can.
not longer hold out against it. With
the ebbing of this prejudice, more peo-
pie in the country are buying automo-
biles, and as Farm and Ranch says,
within the next ten years they will
come into general use and will revolu-
tionize country life.

called the Acorn. He ran the paper
entirely, doing the writing, typesetting
and subscription soliciting. Among his
subscribers were the late Mark Twain,
the humorist, and Sidney Lanier, the

One day he received the following
letter from Mark Twain:

An appeal published in the Aus
tin Statesman for funds to help carry
Resolution IS says THE amendment
should carry and no doubt would carry
easily but for the organized and de-
termined opposition which has been
made in several quarters by an appeal
to prejudice, ignorance and systematic
Misrepresentation" We suppose that

greatest educational institution, the
A. and NJ. College, is an appeal to
prejudice, and the effort to save the
state from deluge of bonded indebt-
edness is an appeal to ignorance.
Thank God the people of Texas are
just ignorant enough TO know that this
bond proposition would bankrupt the
state and they are going to swat it to
a fare-you-well.

CHANGES IN COURT PROCEDURE

The legislature at its recent session
made several changes in court pro-
cedure, the more important of which
are as follows
l. Requiring the trial Judge to read
his charge to the jury before argument
is begun by counsel for either side.
2. Requiring the parties to a suit
to set out their contentious under seal
of oath.
g. Requiring attorneys for both the
state and the defense to make oath
that the witnesses they desire sum-
moned are material.
4. Providing that witnesses resid-
ing in the county in which their testi-
mony in felony case is given shall
be paid $3.50 per diem.
1t is believed that these changes in
procedure will greatly facilitate the
work of the courts.-Waco Times Her

WHAT wAn MOULD cosr.

Few OF those who have secretly
wished for the sensations of n war with
Mexico have ever thought what suol
a war would cost: few of those who
have been talking OF national honor
have ever paused to estimate tho bur-
den every citizen would he called upon
to bear should we be forced to inter
vene in Mexico.
~ comparison OF the last war with
Mexico will not give an adequate idea
/ of what national struggle at the
present timc would be. since the whole
! science of war has been rcvolutionizcti
| and made much more expensive in re-
cent years. but even ut this the fig
urcs arc formidable enough. When we
chanpioned TcXass cause and thereby
prccipitatcd Il war with Mexico. we
assumed Il task which 1t took us two
years 10 complete. During that time
we enlisted more than 100000 men.
The total losses on both sides aggre-
gated 10000, and the expense to this
country was more than $4,000 0o0
This does not include dollar of the
millions paid in pensions after the
peace with Mexico. nor does 1t take
into account tho Increased expenses
of civil government due to the war
still more appalling is the fact that
five Of our soldiers fell before n fever
for ono killed by the bullets of the
enemy
Leaving out OF consideration the War
Between tho states, tho expense OF

brief conflict with Spain furnishes us
with AN illustration of what we may
expect during war under modern con
ditions in a subtropical climate This
struggle. as our readers Will recall.
lasted but four months. and its princi-
pal events were crowded into ninety
days--a far brcfcr time than it would
take us to subduc Mexico. During
these months. however. we lost 2.9lO
men. of whom all but 3oG died Of dis
ease. In treasure We spent Sl65. 900. Oco,
and arc still paying pensions
To make an estimate on this basis.
we may reasonably expect that war
with Mexico would cost us $4,000. 900
4 day. or some S72o,ooo. 900 the year.
In addition we have tho word of the
Secretary OF War that We would have
TO raiso an army OF 100000 men. many
OF whom would inevitably die Of dis
case among those unhealthy Mexican
hills
Surely tho contemplation of these
figures should make us rejoice that
there is little prospect OF war and lit
tic chance that sane administration
