Only a few of the great philan-
thropists have as yst given largely to
musical institutions. although many of
them are personally fond of musie—-
as is John D. Rockefeller, who some
time ago undertook the education of a
barroom ballad boy whose rendering of
a hymn brought tears to the financier's
eyes. The lad, it should be said paren-
thetically, was not found by the Stand-
ard Oil magnate in a barroom.

Her Oplnion of Dr. Monk.
To the Editor of The Record
Fort Worth, June 20—1 read the
editor's article commenting on Dr.
Monk’s sermon of Sunday last; also Mr.
Egsleston’s defense or explanation.
I wish to say I do not think Dr.
Monk was misrepresented or misun-
derstood. as of course, we knew, with-
out the explanation that he meant only
desecrating the Sabbath. But his harsh
words stin remain and I for one do
not think a kind, generous hearted
man would prefer to see thle city or
any other “drop into h—" rather than
for Its inhabitants to innocently er
even guiltily enjoy themselves, or to
think that it would be better for so
horrible a disaster as that of San Fran-
cisco. to overtake us. I think it was
temper pure and simple that provoked
Dr. Monk to talk so harshly and I do
not think such expressions in the pul-
pit or elsewhere do any good. The
doctor draws good crowds and should
be content with doing so. I know msny

The series of great concerts through

tens as regularly as he eats his break-
fast. One to not surprised to find that
a large proportion of his benefactions
thus far have gone to the endowment
of pipe organs, about 400 of which he
has already given to churches all over
the world. He has be quoted as say-
ing that he won't stand for the doctrine
of the preachers, but that the church
organ can teach no wrong. Mr. Carne-
gie has, of course, done other things for
American music. His wealth has made
Pittsburg one of the leading music cen-
ters of the country, with its excellent
facilities for hearing and learning good
organ music, and with its orchestra led
for many years by Victor Herbert, one
of the moet original of modern conduct-
ors. Carnegie hall in New York city
has become the center of the music lifs
of the metropolis.
Equally conspicuous with Mr. Carne-
gie and Indeed even more so as a
special benefactor of music, is Major
Henry L. Higginson, the Boston bank-
er, who since 1821 has stood behind the
Boston S;mphony Orchestra, cherish-
ing It with the same affection and en-
thsiasm with which other millionaires
regard their yachts or their racing
stables. The great orchestra which Carl
Zerrahn, one of the three musicians
of German birth who have done so
much to give standing to American
music, and who has just returned to
this country from several years' resi-
dence in Germany, declares to now gen-
erally regarded in Europe as the finest
musical organisation in the world, owes
its entire existence to MP. Higginson.
If his support were withdrawn to-
morrow the big orchestra would have
to disband for in spite of successful
concerts in every, efty of the Unton,
there is always an annual deficit to be
met, one that in one year amounted
to nearly $60,000 one that in a certaln
other very swccooeful year was re-
duced to about $2,000,

In Fort Worth in increasing its out-
put with no appreciable increase in
costas followed by an instant de-
mand that all ’ other similar depart-
ments in all the other plants in the
system shall do as well. And more.
Besides watching their own depart-
ments, each packer keeps an eye upon
the plants belonging to others, snd
if they are securing results which
seem better than are .being obtained
under his own supervision, ho at once
wants to know the reason why. I
The antidote for this relentless
strife for results, in itself the bale
of the packing business, is thorough
and rigid governmental inspection
at every stage in the preparation
of cured and ' preserved produc ts.
With a representative of the bure au
agee this. His auditors and ex-
ports are always looking for
some chance to improve some de-
partment or to economise still
further. Each department makes
out a balance sheet every month.
The costs of plants and supplies
are put in at their market value.
Each department manager to
credited with so much capital
and his results are judged by
the percentage he earns on this
investment. If he falls below
other departments their results
are used se a prod to stir him
on to greater effort In despera-
tion he resorts to questionable
devices to "make good." The
game to exciting. His conscience
gets callous. Th public buys
bad meat. That to Hje real story.
That there to much buh in the
above statement is shown b? qe fre-
quent visits of heads of departments

RESULTS AKE WANTED.
The public to but little Informed of
the inside workings of the packing
houses, and perhaps it is well enough
that this is so, on the principle that
to disclose all the processes of conking
at any of the great hotels of the coun-
try would result in loss of appetite
among the guests. One must take
things in this world with a grain of
faith in order to rest secure in con-
tentment.
Doubtless some methods used in the
preparation of packing house prod-
ucts sre open to criticism, and the
Drovers’ Telegram, the official pa-
per of the Kansas City stockyards,
suggests how they may come about.
It quotes ca employe of one of the
big packeries of "Chicago,.in semi-
justification of practices not alto-
gether excusable, as saying:
The whole trouble with our in-
dustry *« that it has gone insane
over “results." The watchword to
“Get Results.” The men who
first gave out that order little
realised what results they would
get. I believe that order given
out promiscuously in the business
world has caused more misery
and death than any battle cry
that was ever heard.
My sympathies are naturally
with the packers, as fine a body
of big business men as live, but
I am glad the time has come
when the public will bring pres-
sure to bear on our employers
to make them modify that com-
mand for1 results. Business is
business only as long as it is fair
business and harmless in its re-
sults.
The whole trouble with the
pecking business is the extraordi-
• nary system under which It to
conducted. A packing eompany
has many traveling auditors and
several hundred bookkeepers. .
There are finteen or twenty dif-
ferent departmenta, each one

To the Editor of The Record:
Brooklyn Heights, Texas, June 22.—I
wss very much interested in roading the
article headed "Much Activity in Rail-
road Building” tn The Record today. I
want to suggest a route to capitalists
and more especially to the Arlington
Heights line. Run a line In a south-
east course from Arlington Heights to
Brooklyn Heights, thence to Fort Worth
along the Benbrook road to the city.
From Brooklyn Heights run a branch
line across the Clear Fork to the beau-
tiful heights south, making a belt via
the Frisco shops, thence north to the
city. I think the right-of-way could be
secured without the coat of a dollar to
the company.
Brooklyn Heights now is s settlement
of about 300. The Axtell Windmil and
Pump company will occupy the old
stove foundry as a manufacturing plant
and other manufacturers ate looking for
locations west of the city limits where
they can get railroad frontage and track-
age. Juet outside of the city limits,
the banks of the river on the west line
of Jackson's land and east line of the
Huff land on the W. D. Conner survey
are naturally high and eafe for the erec
tion of a hridge This line would be
a paying line from the start. Brook-
lyn Heights would double its population
tn a short time, factories would locate
where they gan get railroad frontage
and ewitches only two and a half miles
west of the union depot and only three-
fourths of a mile west of the city
limits.
These two lines would aid the future
development of Arlington Heights,
Brooklyn Heights and Prospect Heights,
besides being a great feeder to Lake
Como.
Railroad men and capltalists, look
over the route and see if you can’t see
In it a present and a near future paying

launched she was a back number and
practically obsolete. The usefulness of
a battleship lessens from the day she
is designed and it may be truthfully
asserted that in the navies of the
world there is not afloat today a tho-
oughly up-to-date fighting machine,
for the very good reason that no sei-
ence has made such rapid and con-
tinuous progress as that of offense
and defense on the sea. In England
It has been demonstrated that a bat-
, tloship of the first class may be
built within twelve months, and we
seemingly are convinced at last that
three years is too much time to waste
in battleship construction. Almost
every day brings a new device, a new
Idea the explosion of some old theory
and an accord on some steps in ad-
vance in marine architecture. Once
a battleship is laid down, her general
plans provided. It is too late to make
changes in her fundamental princi-
pies, and by the time she to ready
for her complment of officers and
crew she usually represents an ex-
ploded theory. Compensation for this
is found, however, in the fact that
while other nations may be quite as
advanced in knowledge of marine
architecture as we happen to be, they
have no more modern vessels afloat
than are or’vessels. But, with Eng-
land, Germany and France turning
out vessels in from nine to twelve
months, to say nothing of our moat
likely enemy, Japan, expending a vast
amount of intelligence, money and en-
ergy in rehabilitating her navy, it be-
hooves us to be up and doing and to
lose no time.
It is one thing, however, to con-
tract for the completion of a battle-
ship in twelve months and another
to force the constructors to live up
to their contract. Congress has a
way of granting relief and extensions
of timhe and then fuvther extenslons.
If congress will loyally support the
navy department in forcing an ob-
servonce of the contract as to time,
then indeed will a great step in ad-
vance have been aecomplishod. But
congreza has so often been neglect-
ful of its duty to the people in favor-
tag oontraeton, that the publie will.

that has been the greatest factor in
the marvelous growth the thoughtful
observer would undoubtedly name the
work done and the exhibition made
at the St. Louis Exposition.
When the question of an exhibit
at the Chicago Fr was presented
to the state by a few far-seeing, pro-
gressive citizens, there was only the
faintest response. The people of the
state, as a people, were not then
read)—were not, as it were, educated
up to the importance of expositions—
and the result was, even though a
hard, brave fight was made, a com-
parative failure.
When the time for a display at St.
Louis came and all the other states
lined up, Texas marched in and the
world was amused at the brilliancy
of the Lone Star—the five points
could have been multiplied by five
and still not been sufficfent to enu-
merate the many astonishing features
which the biggest of states had to
portray.
What has been the result? The
year has been marked by a tremen-
dous impetus along all agricultural
lines. There has been .an unprece-
dented increase in railroad mileage,
every mile of track opening up new
opportunities for the -settler and
bringing the wealth of the fields in
touch with the markets of he world.
The vast Increase in farm products
has awakened the people to the im-
portance of home manufactories and
scores of small factories are spring-
ing up. The opportunities for money-
making along cattle and livestock
lines, formerly only partially revealed,
are now patent to the world. There
has been a continued line of home-
seekers, and the cry’ for laborers to
garner the golden grain of the boun-
teous harvests has been answered by
the sturdy immigrants of the old
world. But it is useless to Uy to enu-
merate our forward steps. A nsw
day has dawned, and it cannot be
questioned that the light of the St.
Louis Exposition has added mar-
velously to its brilliancy.
And now for the next. In the
course of a few months the old his-
toric ground of Jamestown will be-
ablaze with the glories of the new
world. North, East. South and West
will be there to tell what they have
done since the day the heroic men
of the Jamestown colony paved the
way in their ill-starred sortie into the
new world. Texas must be there. Not
elaborately gowned, perhaps, but she
must be there and so arrayed as to
portray the dignity, the importance,
the promise, the coming glory of the
greatest state in the union.

A STEP IN ADVANCE.
In asking for bids for the con-
struction of the battleships South Car-
•Una and Michigan, the navy de-
partment has taken a radical forward
step, which If persevered in will do
more to keep the navy of the United
States abreast of the times than any
set of the department in years. This
is in requiring the construction of the
vessels to be completed within one
yesr from the time of awarding the
contract. Such speed in constructon
hs never been attempted in this
country. From two to fourepd even
five years have elapsed between the
letting of the contract and the com-
misloning of most of our men-of-war.
private work being given preference
over that performed for the govern-
ment No private ship owner would
for a moment put up with the dilly-
dallying to which the government has
been subjected, nor for a moment
would he consent for his vessel to
remain year after year on the stocks,
