A BOYS CORN CLUB BANK.

The Boys Corn Club Bank and
Trust Company is being organized at
Mauriceville, Orange County, Texas.
This Is said 10 be the first financial
institution OF the kind In the world
and rs officers will be selected from
members OF the club. Our idea OF
the boys corn clubs was To make
better farmers and better corn grow
ers out Of the boys, and not TO eyo-
Lutte them into bankers. The great
movement Of helpfulness for the farm
ers by the State and Nation Is TO i'm.
prove agricultural conditions, to give
the farmer the things due him, TO en-
able him to make more than a bare
living, TO give him some Of the COM
forts OF life, to permit him 10 educate
his children. in other words, to make
farming the greatest business IN the
world and the farmer the first citizen
OF the land. That the boys should
get banking in their heads ere the
first note Of success was sounded, is
indeed unfortunate. Not that farmer
boys should not be bankers or any
thing else they may elect to he. but
that the farm has no attractions for
them and their incllnations and ambi.
lions lie in another direction. II all
the boys are TO leave the farm to be.
come bankers. merchants. school
teachers. lawyers. etc, who will be
left to do this great work Of revolu
tionizing the agriculture OF the coun
try? Taking this greater view OF the
future, there could possibly be no
greater field of endeavor than that
offered by the farm. according to our
way OF thinking We believe the boys
OF Orange County are making a mis-
take.

II Is to be regretted that the pas
senger earnings on this part Of the.
line do not Justify double daily
service. Since the receivers have
been In charge Of this property the
passenger trains on the Fort Worth
division have all been operated al a
direct loss. None of them have paid
the cost OF the fuel consumed ana the

ing OF the expense OF the train crew.
dispatching, track and station ex.
penses or any other expense. The
trains have, therefore. been operated
solely for the benefit Of the train
crews and the public, as they have
been direct loss 10 the road since
the receivers have had charge. and
my Impression is that they were op-
Grated al loss before the receivers
took charge; In fact, the cumulative
effect Of this and other losses in Cd.
Grating this property were what
forced the road into receivers hands
In putting on the proposed new
schedule, and particularly in AFFORD
ing this sleeping car service, II was
done with the hope that the earnings
OF the trains might be increased to
point at least at which there would be
no actual loss In their operation.
] hope our friends at Bryan after
considering the improved facilities In
the way Of sleeper service win ap.
preciate the advantage that this new
schedule ought TO be TO your com
munity. Yours very truly,

honor of the formal opening Of the
new Celilo-The Dallas Canal, which
ushers in a new era in the Northwest,
by furnishing the connecting link for
uninterrupted water navigation from
the Pacific Ocean 500 miles inland.
The opening celebration. staged
here today, was a pageant depicting
the historical development Of the
Columbia River country, featuring
the growth of the Northwestern
States from the time of the discovery
of the Columbia River by Captain
Robert Gray, the coming of the ex-
plorers. the missionaries, industry
and farming. and the growth Of the
present conditions. Each day cele'
brations are scheduled until Saturday.
The state officials of oregon, Idaho
and Washington, city and town Of
fcials along the new waterway, and
a committee from Congress will be
guests of honor of the commercial
and civic organizations, who are con-
Quoting the gala events.
In honor of the canal opening, May
10 has been named Columbia River
Day" at the San Francisco Expost-
ton, that being the anniversary OF
the discovery of the river by Captain
Gray.
The exercises formally opening the
new canal to navigation will be held

THE NEED OF VISION.

At this time, when the problem Of
developing a stancher type of states
manship has become an acute issue,
the following remarks Of the Kansas
City Star are pertinent;
Civilization would be in a pickle
If somewhere some men did not have
constructive social plans; big states
manlike ideas. And the woods are
full of such men. Why don't we in
sist that more of the vision that goes
into the writing OF other books shall
go into the writing of statute books?
Why don't we see to 1t that more of
the plain, common sense that plain,
common sense men use in their
homes and in their neighborhoods
and in their churches shall get into
our statesmen?
AT a period in our history when
commercialism has impaired its in
fuence to every institution, we can
make no exception of lawmaking

When the Japanese Minister to
China was informed that China re-
fused certain OF the demands made
upon her by Japan, he expressed sor.
row and added that his government
would be disappointed. Too bad that
Japan should be disappointed because
another Nation would not yield to her
bull.headed demands that are based
on neither justice nor reason. The
demands OF Japan on China are easy
winners as the monumental display

THE SENATE PAYROLL.

There are the same old indications
that the payroll Of the Senate will
climb high because OF numerous EN-.
ployes. II we considered all the EN-.
ployes for which the Senate provides
in any way necessary for the conduct
of the legislative duties Of that body,
we would not enter a word OF protest.
We should be glad to commend the
Senators for having the foresight to
get the labor they need.
As the conditions exist, however,
we can find for them only criticism
for we are positive that they have
more help than they need. We know
that many Of the State institutions
are needing support and we know
that in view OF the hard times of the
past year that It may be difficult for
them TO get their estimates II would
be far better that they get that which
they believe they should have than
that the money be expended in the
Senate of Texas for useless labor
