After all, this old world treats
a fellow pretty much as he
treats it.
From the attitude of the Re-
publican candidate for congress
in this district, and the talk put
up by the Republican leaders,
they certainly do not expect to
get much of a vote in Maverick
County.
Dan Huff or seems to be ambi-
tious to be the Hearst of Texas.
He is gathering in a string of
good newspapers, and inciden-
tally is running for office in
Medina county. Huffor seems,
to be a hustler all rig'ht, and we
wish him success.
We have always been a “Cal-
laghan' ’ man in San Antonio.
But we will risk the price of an
exhiliration that if Geo. Waver!y
Briggs keeps that typewriter of
his in line for Commission gov-
erpment for San Antonio, our
good old chum, Callaghan, will j wise ones tell you!

retire in good order, either.
A Boost For Us.
The San Antonio Express
has the following compli-
ment: “The Guide Printing
Company of the Eagle Pass
News-Guide has just issued
a very clever little booklet
which shows conclusively
that the printing art is a real
art in Eagle Pass, even if
that city is about as near the
edge of the map as it could
be. It is another demonstra-
tion of what Eagle Pass is-
doing to mane the edge of
the map one of the most
prosperous and active com-
munities on the map.”

City building is easy. It is a
wonder to me that so many
towns employ high-salaried com-
mercial secretaries to help build
the community, when it is so
easy. For instance: Take a walk
down through the business dis-
trict of Eagle Pass and learn the
ease with which this city could
be made a large commercial and
manufacturing center. Mr. A.
will tel! you that all we need do
is to get another railroad and
things will commence to hum.
Mr. B. will tell you that if we
will get a smelter all things will
come. C. will solve the problem
by having Eagle Pass made a
freight common point; while D.
will come to the rescue with a
large modern hotel. E., F. and
G. will suggest a laundry, a shoe
factory or a soap factory. Easy?
Why. its a cinch. Just do as the
How? 0,

Prospects for the New Railroad
and the Big Smelter Are
More Promising.
There has been a derth in rail-
road news, so far as Eagle Pass
is concerned, for some time, but
now prospects are good for
Eagle Pass to secure a road con-
necting it with the I. & G. N.
Mr. Asher Richardson writes
the editor of this paper that the
final survey of his road has been
made from Eagle Pass to Ash-
erton, and that his engineer has
about finished making the estim-
ate of cost of construction. When
completed, Mr. Richardson says
he will be ready to commence
construction within thirty or six-
ty days. The financial end has i
already been arranged.
Mr. Carrington, secretary of;
the Industrial League, who has |
been working on the smelter )
proposition, is in receipt of a
letter from Mr. Traylor, the |
New York capitalist who is in-
terested in the proposition, stat-
ing that he would visit Eagle
Pass in a few days and go into
the matter more thoroughly, that
he is highly pleased with the
showing made and data furnish-
ed him and that Mr. Yogelstein,
the millionaire, who takes inter-
est in smelter propositions, will
almost certainly take a large

If the Standard Oil Company does not develop ©nr oil and gas wells,
If Eagle Pass does not become a large wholesale distributing point*
If Eagle Pass does not become a big mining and manufacturing center,
If Eagle Pass does not remain the metropolis of this section of the state

As the city of Eagle Pass pays
one third of the taxes
of the county, and is thus
taxed heavily on the road and
bridge bonds, it is only reason-
able that the commissioners
should spend a small amount on
the streets within the incorpor-
ated district. The city is entitl-
ed to it in equity to say the least.
We believe the commissioners
will see the matter in the same
light. Main street should be
made a real city street. Espe-
cially now that prospects are
good for having electric arc

In spite of Noisy Allen’s state-
ment that Garner’s public build-
ing appropriations were “sop”
to catch votes, and that they
were only “authorizations,” it
seems that Eagle Pass will get a
public building from some source.
The Treasury department is this
week advertising for bids for the | tion for old time’s sake
Eagle Pass building. The site
has been paid for. And there is
enough money on hand to build
the building ejso the Department
would not advertise for bids. As
we don’t know of any other per-
son who is getting this public
building for Eagle Pass, we will
have to give the credit to John
Garner, Allen to the contrary
notwithstanding.

will be there. You remember

NOT AN ANGLO-SAXON VICE
Assassination Has Never Been Popu-
lar in Countries Peopled
by That Race.
This country is getting to have a
reputation of its own for assassina-
tion, though most of it is among the-
obseure. It is among the obscure-
here because it is confined to our
alien population that oozes through
tue Ellis island- gates from the far
east, the near east and the Latin
countries. Men of Anglo-Saxon
races and stock have killed one an-
other in duels with great joy. They
vill still stand up face to face and
hammer one another’s noses, eyes
and jaws into pulp. They will try
to. break one another in two on a
football field. They are bloodthirsty
in battle without having the least
personal feeling about it. But they
never have had the snake’s trick of
stinging from the grass, or of slip-
ping two inches of steel into a man’s
heart from behind and through his
hack on a dark night, or of reaching
o.'th an arm forth from around a
corner and blowing m nnsusnecting
victim’s brains out of ids skull; or
of mailing poison m somehodv in a
box of candy or a bomb in a tobacco
jar. Tho.se are-limb of Satan tricks
the Anglo-Saxon has not played, in
civilization or barbarism.—New
York Press.
