An Argument for Government Control.
Now that the American railroads
have come under what amounts to
virtually one ownership and control
centered In New York City it may be
necessary as the federal supreme
Court's recent decision indicates to
vest offilcal regulation of tho rail-
roads in the federal government That
at any rate will be the chief argu-

commissioners' court for the purpose
of jierfecting plans for a petition to
the commissioners' court for an elec-
tion for a bond Issue for road improve-
ment in Brazos counjfy is of vital im-
portance to this work. If a petition
is agreed upon it can be prepared and
presented to the court at its Novem-
ber meeting and an early hearing can
thus be secured. This work can only
be accomplished by the assistance of
every member of the committee. And
right here it is well to call attention
to the fact that 10 o'clock means 10
o'clock. It is very unpleasant for the
chairman and a few members of tho
committee to be obliged to wait from
fifteen to thirty minutes for tardy
members. It is true that every mem-
ber of the committee is a busy man.
He was selected for thu reason. Busy-
men are capable men. Yet one man's
time is as valuable as another's. If
every member of a committee will be
prompt to answer a call business can
be promptly transacted and all return

T
OE THE BONES
Red Cross Christmas Seal Campaign
to Raise Funds to Build Hos-
pital for Children.
At a meeting of the executive com-
mittee of the Texas Anti-Tuberculosis
Association in Austin last Friday it
was decided to establish a hospital-
home on the gulf coast for children
afflicted with tuberculosis of the
bones and glands.
It was reported to the committee
that there was practically no pro-
vision in tbe state for these children
and In fact that little had been done
throughout the country In the way of
special hospital provision outside ot
the Sea Rreeze Hospital IrNew York
City. This institution was made fa-
mous a few years ago by "Smilin?
Joe's" campaign for funds for a new
hospital building.
A medical member of the committee
described this form of tuberculosis to
lay members as consumption of the
bones. It was stated that most of the
hunchbacks were cases of tuberculosis
of the spine and that most cases of
hip disease resulting in a shortened
limb were tuberculosis of the hip. En-
larged joints were also attributed la
many cases to bone tuberculosis. The
positive statement was made that this
form of the disease was not conta-
gious. Physicians frequently find that
the children of consumptives are af-
flicted with tuberculosis of the bones.
The treatment given at the Sea
Breeze Hospital on Coney Island New
York was described. The little pa-
tients spend practically all of their
time in the open air and much of their
time when the temperature permits
in the water as the Institution is only
a few yards from the beach. Salt wa-
ter and sea air combined with skill-
wul surgery brings wonderful results.
It was pointed out to the committee
that the Texas gulf coast was because
of its milder climate permitting sea
bathing practically all the year round
an ideal location for such an institu-
tion and the prediction was made that
cure? could be effected there as read-
ily as in some of the famed sanitoria
rf a similar nature nil thja slmros of
I the Mediteranean sea. Members of the
I committee expressed their belief that
'gulf coast towns would vie -with each
other in offering inducements to se-
cure the location of the sanitarium.
..... . -
purchase of a building and for the
. . . ... . . -
maintenance of the Institution and fo'i
its other work the
association will
soon place on sale in every town iu I
Texas the 1912 Red Cross Christmas
eals and the organization plans to
sell 1000000 seals in Texas between
now and Christmas..
The Red Cros3 Christmas seals are
sold every year at one cent each. The
seals are placed on the backs of let-
ters for weeks before Christmas and
on Christmas .gifts and packages. Bus-
ires houses buy them in large quan-
tities ani use them on their mail on
monthly statements and on pay en-
velopes. One member of the commit-
tee told of an instance where a long
overdue bill was paid in December of
last vear because his debtor was so i
pleased to find the little message of
Christmas cheer and good will at-
tached to his statement.
Tho nt;snci:tinn is nrpnnizinir com-
ttees of ladies in every town in the.
mit
state to take charge of the salq of
seals. Mail orders for seals have al-
ready been received at the associa-
tion's office in the state capitol build-
ing at Austin.
THE GRAFTER AND THE SUCKER.
One of my esteemed contemporaries
takes his en in hand to land on tho t mijoind enough w ater to irrigate 70.-
sucker. He claims that the sucker i-sjooo acres of lanJ.
a nuisance anu an abomination anu
should be speedily confined if not
wiped bodily off the face of the earth.
The sucker as this editor claims en-
courages fake enterprises and in this
way does a great harm to society and
all kinds of legitimate business.
All of which Is true. But when he
talks about shutting up all the suck
ers or exterminating them he is con
versing through his head covering. If
all the suckers were confined in jails
penitentiaries or insane asylums or
whatever might be decided on as a
uroper kind of place to confine them
these institutions would need to be
enlarged and multiplied by 50 and
there would not be enough left outside
to guard of care for the suckers in-
side. For a vast majority of men are suck
ers. Man is prone to tie a suener as
the sparks are to fly upward. It is
true that we don't all snap at the same
kind of bait What catches the eye of
one doesn't appeal to another but if
the grafter only knows with what kind
of bait to conceal his hook he can
gather his victim every time.
The dweller in the city remarks
"ha! ha!" and again "he! he!" as ho
sees the Reuben invest in the gilded
brick and the next day he himself in-
vests his simoleons in wireless tele-
graph stock or yields to the seduction
of a promoter who is representing a
company that Is going to make a net
profit to its stockholders of 500 per
cent per annum by planting and har-
vesting bananas In Central America.
The wise guy who can not under-
stand how any whiskered tiller -of the
soil could possibly be fool enough to
let himself be taken in by a lightning
rod agent will cheerfully invest in a
gold mine located somewhere in the
mountains of Alaska where the snfcw
Is 10 feet deep during 11 months in
the year and 8 feet deep durlgn tha
other month.
The city-wise one watches the boob
at the fair handing his cash to the
man with the three shells and tbe
little rubber ball and remarks that he
can not understand bow any man can
be such a fool and then goes straight-
way and buys an alligator farm or in-
vests in a ranch among the foot hills
of the Andes where he expects to
raise gllaloo birds for their plumage
and clear up 50 per cent a month.
Even the grafter himself is often
worked by some other gTafter who
happens to have a kind of bait with
which the first grafter is not familiar.
