Judge W. T. Potter, the secretary of the board
of water engineers. Mr. Adams.says that the
rosy prospects for the new year in his section
has blotted out all the remembrance of dull
times of the past, owing to one season of low
prices and another of a short crop of cotton.
He states that the political pot has begun to
boil in some localities but, although he is a
staunch Prohibitionist, he does not believe
there will be a candidate for Governor against
Governor Ferguson this year. He says his
people are well pleased with the present Gov-
ernor, "who says something every time he
opens his mouth.”
A man who has just completed a tour of the
world on foot is now in'Houston. The suc-

"If force is wrong. why have police?” asks
Colonel Roosevelt. Probably to pester crap-
shooters and direct strangers to the postoffice

Colonel S. S. Osborn, who several months
ago moved to Austin from Chanute, Kan., and
is a member of that rare species of the genus
homo known as a “Kansas Democrat,” is posi-
tive that President W ilson will be nominated
for a second term whether he seeks or wants
the nomination or not. Colonel Osborn was
an ‘original W ilson man,” and was a member
of the resolutions committee for the Third
Congressional District at the Kansas State
convention in 1913, which tied the vote as be-
tween Champ Clark and Wilson which the
convention settled by indorsing the Missouri
man by a small majority. The sentiment made
for President Wilson was so strong, however,
that it was the Kansas delegation at the Bal
timore convention which first went over from
Clark to Wilson, and caused the withdrawal
of Underwood, which assured Wilson’s nom-
ination. Colonel Osborn says that every mem-
ber of that State resolutions committee got a
Federal job except himself, and he did not ap-
ply for one. Kansas Democratic plums are
about as scarce usually as Republican plums
are in Texas.

W illiam Connally, one of the lecturers of
the State Department of Agriculture, and one
of the ablest and best informed men to be
found in that line of work in any' State, has
gone to his home in San Marcos after a week
spent in Austin attending a "get togethet
meeting" called by Commissioner Davis. Mr.
Connally says the work of instructing farmers
along better lines of farming is not the thank-
less job and one looked upon with suspicion
by farmers, as it was a few years ago. He
says that now, not only the farmers welcome
any advice, aid or suggestion offered, but are
glad to attend meetings and help in the work
themselves. Likewise, he says, the county and
precinct officials now render valuable aid in
every way they can, which is a big help in
doing the work quicker and at the same time
more thoroughly. Mr. Connally is one of the
original men selected by Judge Ed R. Kone in
1907 when he was commissioner, and when
he began this valuable work, that Commis-
sioner Davis has continued with rare intelli-
gence and energy.
Senator Paul D. Page of Bastrop has been
in Austin on a short visit. It will be remem-
bered that recently he and Mr. Pfeiffer of
New Braunfels went to the Rio Grande coun-
try on a deer hunt and that Mr. Pfeiffer was
seriously, but not fatally injured, by a deer
that he had wounded. Mr. Page says that Mr.
Pfeiffer found that he had wounded the deer,
but the signs of blood were so small that he
thought it must have gone a long way off,
and was following the blood trail with his
head down. He suddenly came upon the deer
which was lying down and it got up and
charged the hunter as soon as he was seen.
Mr. Pfeiffer fired one shot which hit the deer
in the nose but he kept coming and Mr.
Pfeiffer grabbed him by the horns and both
went down, one horn made a deep cut in his
left leg near the groin before Mr. Pfeiffer could
get out his knife and cut his throat. Several
minutes after he had to hold the deer during
his death struggles and lost a great deal of
blood. He had the presence of mind to fire
his gun three times, the agreed signal for dis-
tress, before he fainted from loss of blood. Mr.
Page says when he and other members of the
party finally found the wounded man he and
the deer were lying side by side and it was
thought both were dead. Mr. Pfeiffer, how-
ever. is out of danger and nearly well at the
present time.
A few old-fashioned United States Senators
want to know why we are so aggressive toward
Germany and Austria and so submissive to
Great Britain’s repeated outrages. As the
breakfast-food man said, "There's a reason.”
She is a woman, who, if love were guide,
Would climb to power, or in obscure content
Sit down; accepting fate with changeless pride,
A reed in calm, in storm a staff unbent;
No pretty plaything, ignorant of life.
But man’s’true mother, and his equal wife.

Colonel W. P. Gaines of Austin has re-
turned to Austin after a stay of two months
and a half in New York and Philadelphia.
Colonel Gaines is one of the best known land
men in Texas and his specialty is the sale of
large bodies of Texas lands to Eastern capi-
talists. Colonel Gaines says that for nearly
two years this class of land transactions has
been practically at a standstill with very few
large investments in Texas lands, however, he
finds at this time a renewed and a much
greater interest in such investments than for
a number of years. On this subject he says:
"It is unquestionably a fact that a large
amount of money that has been acquired in
the East because of the European war, will
be invested in the Southwest and particularly
in Texas and Mexico. I have never known, in
my long experience and acquaintance with
Eastern capitalists, who invest largely their
surplus wealth in lands, such a desire for in-
formation about them as at present. In this
connection it is particularly important to say
that in the future, a great many of the big
tracts which will be acquired, will not be held
merely as investments, but will be cut up into
small tracts, improved in the best manner and
sold to farmers and actual settlers on long time
for payment, and at a low rate of interest. No
feature of future development can be of greater
importance to us here than this, where there
is an overplus of land and a scarcity of pro-
duction. With the money for improvement,
thousands of our acres will become revenue
producing to individuals and the State,*
Colonel Gaines left Sunday night for North
Texas but will return within the week.
Henry Ford is the recipient of a great deal
of commendable, sincere, but withal misguid-
ed sympathy upon the supposed failure of his
mission. True, Mr. Ford did not get the boys
out of the trenches before the Christmas hol-
iday*. It does not follow, however, that he
has failed in his purpose. Notwithstanding he
endeavored to conceal the real purpose of his
pilgrimage, it is apparent that it is nothing
more than one of the most novel spectacular
advertising schemes which has been staged.
The publicity given Ford and his automobile
business in his peace ship stunt will be pro-
ductive of several million dollars at a cost,
which, considering the profit, is merely nom-
inal. The expenses of the trip represent no
more than three days' net income of the Ford
factory.
While Mr. Ford has been subjected to a
great deal of ridicule reflecting upon his men-
tal stability, there is no gainsaying that the in-
cident which precipitated it is in itself suffi-
cient to convince skeptics that he is no
dreamer of dreams, but among the most cap-
able, admirably equipped business men devel-
oped in the present century. Sir Thomas Lip-
ton, prior to the development of the Ford
method of business publicity, had obtained
honorable mention for his adriot use of a sport
of kings as an advertising medium, giving
world publicity to a brand of merchandise
vended for the pleasure of the race and in-
cidentally his own private pecuniary profit.
Lipton blew up and completely collapsed when
the Ford method convinced him that his own
infantile system in comparison was “as moon-
light unto sunlight, as water unto wine.” Thor-
oughly convinced that he was a mere amateur
in spotlighting his business through the me-
dium of the sport pages of all the papers in
America and Europe, that he had sadly blun-
dered in failing to utilize philanthropic, hu-
mane subjects and sentiments instead, he ap-
pears to have vanished from public view to
nurse a seemingly jealous all consuming rage
The Ford pilgrimage, like all spectacular and
original advertising campaigns inaugurate-1
from time to time by that uncrowned king of
advertisers, is a complete success. Ford is no
more in need of sympathy than of a nominal
loan for car fare and coffee.
Moreover, we note that in the Harris County
retrenchment movement “assistants" are the
only ones drawing blue envelopes, while the
higher-ups have nothing to molest or make
them in the least afraid of losing their fat
jobs.
Progress on the Rio Grande.
LKingsville Record.]
In the Rio Grande Valley, growers have re-
cently organized a "Ten Thousand Club," the
purpose being to set out this year 10,000 citrus
fruit trees. So great is the agitation that the
entire valley has become interested and as the
people to the South are in the habit of talking
about things and then doing them, no doubt
the plan will be carried out. The Rio Grande
Valley has made remarkable strides in this di-
rection within the past few years and this
season heavy shipments of grape fruit and
oranges have been made. They propose to
also build a packing plant at some objective
point some time during the present year. All
along the Gulf Coast from the Nueces River
to the Rio Grande there has been a steady and
constant movement to establish as permanent
the citrus fruit industry and this season the
experimental stage has been well passed. The
carlot shipments at Falfurrias and Premont
this fall have demonstrated beyond the shadow
of a doubt that this section is in line as a
worthy competitor of California and Florida
for the future business. Nursery Inspector
Ed Ayers, who makes frequent visits to these
parts, says that it can easily be made the equal
of California as the producing center of
oranges and grape fruit. And perhaps there
is but one other industry in the Kleberg Coun-
ty country creating more interest at present
—that of dairying. Recently farmers and
other interested parties have made several
trips to Falfurrias on inspection tours and have
been so impressed as to determine upon ac-
tive work along this line for the future of Kle-
berg County. While Kingsville and .the
Kingsville country have not as yet shipped
very heavily to foreign markets, the home
supply of oranges and grape fruit has been
generous, and the samples displayed conform
in size and flavor to those of our neighbors
who are shipping heavily. That dairying and
citrus fruit growing will eventually be the real
source of the county's bounteous revenue goes
as well planned effort can make things pos-
sible. .
Discussing the appeal of the American As-
sociation of Commerce and Trade at Berlin to
our Government to open cable communication
with Germany and Austria, the New York
American expresses the opinion that it will
have no effect. "Months ago,” says the Amer
kan, “the German government offered to turn
over the existing cable to the American Gov-
ernment so that it could be repaired and op-
erated. Our Government asked the British
government if it might do so. The British
government did not even condescend to take
notice of or reply to the request. Our State
Department thereupon gave Germany to un-
derstand that since the British fleets controlled
the seas it would be useless to think of either
taking over the cable or laying a cable to some
neutral country like Holland, having free com-
munication with Germany.
“It would be interesting to know what hu-
miliation and contempt put upon our sover-
eignty and our rights on the high seas by the
British government would arouse any indig-
nation in Mr. Wilson or any member of his
f Cabinet. Our ships have been seized on their
way to neutral European and South American
ports. Our trade, except in war munitions, has
been destroyed whenever possible; our mails
have been rifled in violation of international
law; we have been forbidden to export food
I stuffs and manufactures to neutral countries,
and our Government admits that it can not
have cable communication with half of Europe
because it can not obtain permission from the
British admiralty.
“It really looks as if the only way Americans
can take to insure freedom of trade and decent
? treatment on the world's highways is to beg
Canada to annex this country and put it under
the British flag. And in that case, how thor-
oughly at home numbers of our public men
and public journals would find themselves."
"Patriotism."
(New York Globa.)
Allan L. Benson, a Socialist writer of Amer-
ican ancestry, denies that patriotism lays on
him any obligation, at the order of the capi-
talist class, to kill men against whom he has
no grievance in wars to suppress human
rights. Mr. Benson adds that he would go of
his own accord if his conscience approved the
purposes of the war, but that under no cir-
cumstances would he permit himself to be
conscripted. Mr. Benson, further giving his
notion of patriotism, says:
“I believe that patriotism means love of and
willingness to serve not alone humanity in
general but the particular social group or na-
tion to which one belongs. I do not under-
stand that Washington lacked patriotism
merely because, Hoving his countrymen and de-
siring to serve them, he found it necessary to
cppose the Britisn government that ruled over
them.”
Mr. Benson has permitted himself to be-
come somewhat muddled. No one class rules
this country. Indeed, until the present gen-
eration few Americans were class conscious.
Despite the labors of our Socialist friends’ the
great majority of them arc still unaware that
they are in subjection to minorities against
their will. The people of this country rule—
not always wisely, perhaps, but they rule. The
social arrangements are such as they support.
If evils exist it is because the people at large
are not concerned about their correction. It
is inconceivable that this country will engage
in any war except in accord with the popular
will. Speaking generally, wars are more pop-
ular with the masses than with the capitalist
class. That this should not be so does not
alter the fa t. The Social Democrats of Ger-
many made not even perfunctory opposition
to the war. They instantly scrapped their po-
litical philosophy. They pretended to swallow
the preposterous untruth that Russia had at-
tacked Germany. No evidence is yet afforded
that any considerable number of Germans are
opposed to the war.
If this country embarks on a greater degree
of military preparation it will be because sat-
isfactory evidence will reach Washington that
this is what the people want. Mr. Benson is
privileged to oppose this policy by all means
in his power and to try to bring his fellow
citizens to his way of thinking. But if the
majority declares against him let him not
babyishly deny the fact. One great trouble
with radicals is that they are not democrats,
though they loudly pretend to be. They arc
not democrats, because they do not believe in
the essential democratic principle that a ma-
jority has a right to rule. Belonging to a
minority, they nevertheless insist that this
minority rather than the majority should rule.
When they find the weight of general opinion
against them they put forward childish excuses
the essence of which constitutes a denial to
their fellow citizens of the right of free judg-
ment that they demand for themselves.
Mr. Benson’s remarks about conscription
further suggest the imperfection of his demo-
cratic education. Conscription offers the only
democratic form of military service. It is not
only democratic, but socialistic. If a general
duty is laid on a community, and the majority
of the community may say when this duty
exists, then all must share the burden. Private
judgment can hardly be allowed. To permit
such private judgment, and to allow each cit-
izen to determine whether to help or not.
would imply recognition of an individualism
opposed to all democratic and socialistic phi-
losophy. One lobe of Mr. Benson’s brain may
function in a socialistic way, but the other out-
Spencers Spencer in opposition to regimenta-
tion.
What's the sweetest music you can remem
ber? Our mind goes back several years to a
day, when we lived in the country about six
miles northwest of Bonham, when we heard
ham and eggs played on a dinner horn.— Bon-

Which proves that appreciation of grand
opera is a refined, highly cultivated taste.
