On the 7th of March 20,000 United States
troops started for Texas. Good! On the same
date 800 homeseekers started for Texas. Better!
It is stated that about 200 farmers of the 800
homeseekers will remain in Texas. Best!!! Two

A GOOD SIGN OF A UNITED PEOPLE'
TT is encouraging indeed, when a man known as
1 a bitter partisan, like Senator Borah of Idaho,
arises in the United States Senate, and openly
admits that the North dislikes the negro even
more than does the South, and he asserted ve-
hemently that it was pure hypocracy, and politics
only, when people of the North sent up wails in
behalf of the negro, and that he believed the
South should be let alone to deal with the negro
as it is seemed beet. v
Again, Senator Root, of New York, the pride
of the Republican party, boldly upholds State
rights, and says that the National Government is
called upon too frequently to meddle in matters,
in whieh the separate states alone should decide
and act upon, end now Senator Penrose, in an ad-
dress before the Lincoln Club, of Philadelphia,
purely advocated1 State rights.
Above is in line with the recent years’ decis-
ions of the late Mr. Justice Brewer, who was
recognised as one of the ablest members of the
United States Supere Court, and all of which
vindicates the views and stand of our Southern
forefathers, who fought for State Rights from
18G0 to 1865, and although they were tardy in
dring so, it is nevertheless gratifying to see the

LATEST NEW DEPARTURE. <
rpHE Arlington Journal is inaugurating a
A subscription system by which the people,
can secure thei r subscriptions to this paper withJ
out any cash outlay, after paying up until June ,
1,1911. Arrangements have been made with the qff
leading manufacturers of staple groceries and
provisions in the United States to place a coupon
in each package eold, and people in Tarrant and
adjoining counties who buy the goods can have
the coupons redeemed at this office in payment
for subscription to The Journal at fact* valuing.
As the compact has been agreed to by nearly al^a
the big manufacturers of staple products in
America, it will not be a difficult matter to
gather up coupons enough m course of a year
more than amount to the annual subscript iifc
price of the paper. The Journal- has the ex-
clusive franchise for this proposition in Tarrant
county, which should mean much for the paper
the coming year, and thereafter.
The plan will be further explained in a big
display advertisement, which will appear as the
plates arrive from New York. Watch for it and
b? among the first to profit by. the latest new
departure.

THE ARLINGTON JOURNAL
A GOOD VETO.
rw>HE Journal heartily endorses Governor Col-
1 quitt's veto of the bill establishing a cotton
goods factely at Rusk, for the nsaecn that a
sufficient appropriation was not made to proper-
ly establish and maintain such a factory; and,
again, because farmers of Texas have heretofore
refused to us? cotton bagging, and to demand cot-
ton sacks when purchasing their supplies in
sacks.
The Journal is in hearty sympathy with that
move for that cotton bagging factory, which
this editor has advocated fo(r years, and is con-
vinced that the price of jute bagging was largely
reduced, because some farmers did use cotton
bagging in covering their cotton, but for the
above bill to have become a law, under existing
I conditions, meant failure and Governor Colquitt

one was entrusted to give information to farm-
ers, they usual!)- sent some one who was “long”

stated a naked truth, and farmers and especial-

now so well informed on facts, that they are hav-

He told “the tfruth. the whole truth and nothing
but the truth,” and in the course of time, the
people of Texas will know pretty much all about
this fact—and much more.
The Governor gave the advocates of this graft-
ing (for graft it was, and nothing else) appro-
priation, some valuable facts and hand hits when
he called attention to the fact that Messrs. Hogg,
Culberson and Bell had, while each was Attorney
General of Texas, successfully carried on im-
mense land fraud cases, without any extra ap

plant of the Eagle at Oak Cliff. Mr. Brymer is
a young man of entegrity and energy and will be
an element of strength to the Eagle. The Jour-
nal regrets that Arlington hps shown such a
disposition to starve her papers out. But we
are glad to hope thia m> changing. No one enter-
prise is as valuable to any city as an able, fearless
newsy, reliable newspaper—one that will refuse
to cater to factions and whims and isms, but
will truthfully give facts and “boost” the country
where it exists. And one strong, capable paper,
well patronized, carrying ads. of the business
houses so as to tell the story of thrift and enter-
prise in every issue—such a paper will do more
to build a city than all the business houses com-
bined that by a policy of repression refuse to take
part in publicity. Arlington is going to grow and
prosper. And people who do not contribute to this
growth, but simply live here and levy tribute on
all whom they can, will give way to those who
will add their efforts and means to assist in ex-
ploiting and building where they must live and
look for increase. No man is entitled to any
benefits in a city he did- not help to bring to all.
