is soon to la* higtily electrified and
charged with the fortunes of patri-
otic individuals as well as destinies
of state for a term of at least two
years, it. is well to consider plat-
forms for candidates. Of course
“isms” will play an important part
with a small and noisy per cent of
our citizenship who have more zeal
than judgment, but ihe militant
body of progressive citizens ought
to have an acceptable standard of
measurement that will enable can-
didates, real and prospective, to
get their bearings. State govern-
ment is a big concern and it ought
to be run on business principles.
The men who offer to direct the
affairs of the government should
possess business ability. For ex-
ample, candidates for Comptroller
should be able to add and subtract
as well as throw a brain storm;
candidates for rail road commis-
sioner should be able to intelligently
inspect a rail road as well as blink
and breathe, and candidates for the
legislature should be able to give us
peace and prosperity as well as fight
a duel with progress. Let us have
a business standard for candidates.
The passing of the demagogue
lias (narked an im|Mirtant epoch in
the progress of Texas. Like the
desperado and the cowlioy, he has
had a thrilling and exciting career
and like them he has been compelled
to give way to thet rend of civiliza-
tion. He was the product of the
times and the harder the times the
more perfect the product. A Prince
Albert coat, a slouch hat and a
strong pair of lungs and he was
ready for the hust ings to warn Un-
people against the approach of cap-
ital. He thrived best upon strife
and dissension and his principal oc-
cupation was in shrewdly arraying
class against class and then leading
the stronger against the weaker
force. With star defying audacity
he would publicly attack the char-
acter of a prosperous industry and
argue its destruction with all the
logic and sincerity of a Pilgrim
Father pleading for the burning of
a witch. He was a mixture of ig-
norance and genius, and would hunt
out prosperous corporations and
make their success a spring board
on winch lie could hound into the
spotlight by denouncing capital as
sapping tilt* life blood of the people
and then proceed to argue the cause
of the down-trodden masses with the
earnestness of a lawyer pleading his
first case. He was a patriot for ap-
plause and a politician for revenue
and he sought the goal of his desire
with the intution of a gifted crim-
inal and he would track his prey
with the instinct of a hungry beast.
Hut he is gone and may his shadow
never again darken the threashold
of Texas.

Much of our land has not yet felt the modifying influence of human

Texas products peculiarly adapted to our natural surroundings and to
make new products spring into life. In no country on the globe are
the processes of nature so easily interpreted and the veins of new and
bountiful industries so easily tapped as in Texas and men who can rea-
son with nature will find a profitable field of endeuvor in agrieultv
pursuits. Texas needs great men.
