PALESTINE DAILY HERALD, FI
Again referring to this Mr. Gompersl
said:
“There was never a great country
so altruistic in its acts or purposes
as this.
“All democracies are now engaged
in a titanic struggle to free the world
from ruthless autocracy at one fell
stroke. Is it not time to see the red
blood of man shed to safeguard him-
self or fellow man or perish in the
struggle? When President Wilson
saw the people over whom he had
been chosen to guide destroyed, in-
nocent women and children sent to
untimely graves, ruthlessly murdered
for going where they had a right to
go, what was he to do? He knew
there was a time in the life of a man’
or a nation when they were not too
proud to fight.”
These utterances should be repeat-
ed. They should be republished and
kept before the people. Coming as
it does just at a time when the so-
• called labor organization, the Indus-
trial Workers of the World, is in
open revolt against the government,
it .is cheering to hear these words of
loyalty from Mr. Gompers when is
considered the great mass of the best
citizens of the world he represents.
It is not in the words of Mr. Gom-
pers alone, but in the large numbers
of young men organized labor is send-
ing to the front that it is proving its
loyalty.—Austin American.

TEMPTING INDUCEMENTS.
Jf^there was nothing else to attract
the people of the county to enter
their products in the big fair next
month, the premiums offered in the
various departments would be big
enough. But in reality this is the
smallest of reasons. The main in
eentive to the loyal citizen should be
in the fact that this is a county in-
stitution, initiated wth a view to-ad-
vertising the countys industries and
efforts. Every citizen should foe
eager in extending the county’s good
reputation, as through such publicity
we are to secure hew people and new
enterprises. It should be possible
this year to seeure a large number
of new people in the county, thus
opening up new farming lands and
increasing the wealth of the county.
The movement to hold a fair is a
serious one, and it becomes the duty
of every citisen to assist in the full-
est wsy. And in the meantime the
premiums are well worth striving for.

Some of these days, sooner or later,
the Herald feels assured the I. A G.
N. Railway Company is going to do
the handsome thing by Palestine and
pave the depot premises here, and
maybe, for all we know, build a shed
over the passenger train landing.
And these improvements are needed
badly. A few days ago, during a
heavy rain, passengers had to wade
in mud and water from trains to the
station, and this is the condition
every time we have a big rain. The
1. & G. N. has been doing some good
things here, and this would be an add-
ed reason why the people should give
the management a vote of thanks.

Austin. Teras, Sept. 7.—Constitu-
tionality of the acts of the thirtv-
fifth legislature at the regular ses-
sion providing for the establishment
of the West Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical College and the North-
east Texas College, is seriously chal-
lenged by Representative L. Tillot-
son, Austin county, on the ground?
that both of these proposed institu-
tions are to be branches of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College at
College Station and as such can not
be established without an amend-
ment to the constitution. In support
of his contention, Mr. Tillotson intro-
duced in the house a resolution sub-
mitting the proposition to the attor-
ned general for an opinion. The reso-
lution wag adopted and the question
is now before the attorney general
for an opinion. '
“An examination of the provisions
of the constitution bearing on the
establishment of the university and
of the Agricultural "and Mechanical
College «£ Texas,” said Mr. Tillot-
son, in discussing the matter, “would
seem to indicate clearly that the
constitution of 1876 is specific in
its designation of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Texas,
located in Brazos county, by a vote
Following the fine rains over the
■tale, Texas will soon show that a
drouth is only a temporary impedi-
ment. Fall crops will largely over-
come the losses of the earlier sum-
mer.

Had any evidence been wanting
going to show that organized labor of
the United States was loyal it was
found in the talk of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and one of the really great
men of America. But it was not the
voice of Samuel Gompers alone, but
the voice of that great army of labor-
ing men which constitutes the real
bone and sinew of a great and free
government in the United States.
When Mr. Gompers read the letter
addressed to him by President Wil-
son and made bis comment thereon,
he voiced a sentiment that has the
true ring of loyalty. Among other
things be said this:
Is this.republic of ours worth pre-
serving? Were the struggles in our
revolutionary war of no importance?
Are our oonstitutiou and declaration
of independence meaningless9 Was
tne revolution fought in vain? Wat
the civil war a fruitless struggle and
sacrifice? Was the war between the
United States and Spain for the free-
dom of Cuba worthless?
In the letter President Wilson sent
'Mr. Gompers telling him he could not
be present at the labor meeting he re-
stated why this country was at war.

his reply to the pope’s peace note.
