 The sentiment that builds rail- road should also sustain it after it is built. The trouble with Texas now is that in these communities, Or rather ln many of them, where investors, re- spending to public sentiment, pro- jected trunk lines of railway, ao sooner has them completed and in position to yield fair return on the investment, found public sentiment to be that tickle that the rantings and lamentations of the self-serving of- tlce seeker could change it from sym pathy with the roads to direct antag- oalsm and hate. This state of affairs is not conducive to railroad building ill Texas. Public sentiment is a ncces- sary element, it is true, but it must go farther than express deslre to have the road constructed. It must show a disposition to accord to the investors fair treatment and a square deal after the line has been complet- ed.-Denison Herald.
 The public sentiment that helps tC build railroads is the sentiment that is helpful in sustaining them aftel they are built. Merely desiring tha railroads be built amounts to littlt l The sentiment that helps to secure | tonnage after the road is built ant discourage the practice of railroad ] batting is the same sentiment tha helps to provide rights of way with out robbery.

That President Wilson can give any aaeh- lien to the momentous questions o' state at such a time is but addltional evidence of the depth and character of inc man. Just how much is due 10 Mrs. Wilson for the success ol hei husband none but he kaows, put when il is realized that few men suu- ceea unless inspired, aided and en- couraged by their wives. something of the par; Mrs. Wilson has had Ill the making and of tne attainments of the president is appreciatel. Iae presidents wife has been more of d home than a society woman. Sae has disCi arged her obligations to society as befitted her station, but has seem ed moro content in creating i'll her home an atmosphere that would bring out the best in her husband and point out for her children the way they should go. For that reason not as much of her whims is known to the general public as of those who have devoted more of their time to society functions and public affairs. But she was none the less appreciat- ed and the entire nation will mourn her demise, as much for the loss Il has sustained as for the sorrow and grief of the executive it has learned to trust and admire.
