When we reached the sitting room
we talked with unmistakable restraint
of tbe storm and of our rafce with it
across the lake—while Sister Margaret
stood by murmuring her interest and
sympathy. She withdrew immediate-
ly and we three sat in silence, no one
wishing to speak the first word. I saw
with deep pity that Miss Pat’s eyes
were bright with tears, and my heart
burned hot with self-accusation. Sister
Margaret's quick step died away in
the hall, and still we waited while the
rain drove against the house in sheets
and the branches of a tossing maple
scratched spitefully on one of the
panes. ,

“I am afraid that is true," I replied.
"But you must not distress yourself.

sational' and bitter attack on Presi-

House of Representatives by Mr. Wil-
lett of New York. His remarks,
which were delivered under the li-
cense of general debate on the pen-
sion appropriation bill, were cut
short by a vote of the House that it
would hear no more of them. The
President was characterized as a
Gargoyle, tyrant, pigmy descendant

imitation of a king and a bogus he-

fourths of his speech, when, after re-

After the furore which the speech
created had subsided a number ot
members spoke on various subjects

One utterance in the Governor's
meassage that seems to be generally
commended is that portion in which
he urges that the existing education-
al institutions be looked after and
built up to tbe maximum before new
institutions are started. It's good

of such educational extensions as

A newspaperman from, ahether
town was in Dentoa a few lays since.
“I have opportunities of seing most
of the small-city dailies in Texas,"
he ssld. "And I don't want to Hat-
ter you or say It just to be talking,
but I do believe that the Record and
Chronicle is the beat small-city daill
in the State. In fact, the wonder to
me has been is how you can get out
as good a paper in so limited a
field." No, not puffed up about it,
but it lid make us feel good, coming
from a man who knows what a good
paper is and whom we believe
hayp»been perfectly sincere

While we do not wantonly want to
hurt anybody's character or feelings
and while often we would like to
accede to requests to "keep it out of
tbe paper.” it is net tbe business of
tbe Record and Chronicle to suppress {
news, although many requests to do
so are received. Many think they
are asking a very simple thing when
they rush to the newspaper office
with a request to "keep it out of the
paper." Many of them get "sore"
when their request is denied. But
so long as a paper treats them all
alike nobody, has a kick coming
A newspaper owes It to its readers
to publish the news even though, as
is very often the c>se, the editor
personally would like to accede to a
request to suppress It. It's not that
one case alone, but' It ia to keej> ftorn

body else later on will take advan-

BACK TALK.
A high Santa Fe official writes a
prominent citizen of Denton that
there U little prospect of any Santa
Fe extensions In Texas under the ex-
isting statutes. Th|s, he stated in-
cludes the Denton-Krum extension
which has been a matter of prospect
for these man), years. The railroads
may or may not be "bluffing” to se-
cure more favorable railroad lagisla-
tlbn in Texas. But, whichever it Is,
the result Is just the same—the rail-
roads are mighty slow nowadays in
even talking about extensions.—Re-
cord and Chronicle.
The Herald does not believe the
Santa Fe is going to do much in the
Way of building contemplated exten-
sions until after the adjournment of
the next legislature. Its manage-
ment is continually prating of the
irksomeness of Texas laws, and there
will be no forward ntoVcident on the
part of the railway’? management

rather pralae men and
things than roast them. It affords
Its makers more genuine pleasure.
Legitimate criticism does not come
under the caption of “Roast Em."
and the '"Roast ’Em" advocates
should let the idea as well as the
difference percolate through the brain
cells in their craniums. Now this
Oklahoma editor (he wields a Faber
on the staff of the Daily Oklahoman)
has troubles of hla own and his trou-
bles fire not the troubles of his read-
ers or the troubles of "Roast Em"
tribe. Listen to this sermon from
the very apex of his lofty eminence:
"The gee supply was rnnnlng low
on a recent wintry day. in conse-
quence of which a large number of
local consumers were shivering in
their homes. 'Why don't you roast
’em,’ came in a veritable chorus to
The power
wni ulf intermittently the other eve-
ning as the crowds were* filling ev-
ery availsble inch of apace on tbe
street cars for home, occasioning
much delay and annoyance. 'Why
don’t you roaat ’em,’ inquired every-
body we met. The light went out
the other evening just as everybody
was sitting down to supper, necessi-
tating a resort to either lamps or
tallow candles during the meal hour.' J5?,'.
'Why don't you roast ’em?’ is the
gratuitous advice heard on every
hand. ‘My neighbors' chickens come
into my yard and destroy my garden*
complained an irate citizen recently.
’Why don’t your paper roast people
who keep chickens in town?' Some
bootlegger or jointist, having eluded
the vigilance of the officers, had sold
a bucolic visitor an overload of con-
traband spirits not long ago, of
which he had imbibed toodreely. As
he reeled along the street looking
for a steady footing, every other man
we met stopped to inquire, ‘Why
don’t you roast em?’ And so it goes,
always has and always will be.
Nine out of every ten men imagine
that the chief, function of a newspa-
per is ‘roasting’ people and institu-
tions. If anything goes wrong, the
newspaper, like fools, must rush ia
where angels fear to tread and ‘roast’
somebody or something or it is dere-
lict in its duty. On numerous oc-
casions we have offered to print
‘roasts' at the hands of the roasters
on condition that they attach their
names to the same. Without a sin-
gle exception they have refused’ to
engage in the ‘roasting ’ Yet they
ask and expect the newspaper to do
something wh’ch they, for one rea-
son or another, refrain from doing.
Their moral cowardice is exceeded
only by their audacity, now in the
world the notion obtains that a
newspaper is a roasting' institution
passes comprehension. Where it gets
license to turn itself Into a sewer tor
carrying, off the spleen and bile <¥
every man who is suffering from
some temporary annoyance wll^
probably never be known. The truth
is, a newspaper is a business institu-
tion, much after the fashion of any
other mercantile enterprise! which
lives and thrives on its worth. If it
followed the practice of ‘roasting’
everybody and everything, in sight It
would probably exist about as long
as any other chronic fault-finder in
a mercantile pursuit whose petulance
I and irritability drove business away
j instead of attracting it.
whit more audacious to ask the gro-
ceryman to ‘roast’ a customer 4or
permitting his children to play in the
street with dirty faces as to expect
a newspaper to rave and tear its hair
every time something goes wrong
with each individual subscriber.”
This paper tips its hat to the edi-
* ~ •• r Oklahoman and

month, and 999 of the "Roast 'Ems"
when invited to reduce their com-
plaints to writing and attach their
signatures, on the promise of space
being given their "roasts," invariably
retort. "No. I could not do that, you
It is not my business.”
Roast 'Em is a peculiar individual.

not willing to be held responsible—
