John Henry Kirby of Houston,
the lumber King of Texas, per-
haps of the world, is an artist
He is always smiling and weers
the merriest twinkle in his eyes.
When he came on to testify in
the Bailey investigation case, he
talked about his millions of acres
of pine .timber lands, contracts
for lumber by the billions of feet
and the sale of bonds and stocks
in his oil and lumber companies
by the millions and millions, till
the poor investigators turned
dizzy and gave up the ghost. He
declared that all the men in the
world couldn’t have done for the
Kirby “lumber company what
Bailey did for it, and that though
first and last they paid Bailey
over $40,000, that it was not a
big fee at all considering the
efficiency of the service render-
ed. Meanwhile
with his head thrown back, his
eyesvhalf closed, the smoke of a
25 cent cigar curling about his
face, and seemed wondrously
well pleased with John Henry’s
eulogistic testimony, feeling no
O’Neal of the investigating com-
mittee is about as unfair a man
as we ever saw presiding over a
body of men.
Lamar county was carried for
prohibition* thia week for the
first time in its history. Paris
is the county seat, and it has
been a great saloon town all the
years of its existence. This leaves
every county dry along Red river
until Cook county is reached.—

Let the good work go on till
even Tarrant and Dallas coun-
ties shall take their places in the
move for higher and better con-

Five years ago the saloons
•were voted Out of Arlington. At
that time we had four good,
strong, well patronized saloons.
Approximately half the people
who came to town drank more or
less, many of them more. Then
we had no school house, just an
___1 lumber shed, four weak
churches and periodical Sunday
schools; flo new buildings, no
new paint/few flower yards, no
sidewalks, no lights—didn’t want
any, no water—didn’t want wa-
ter, especially before taking; two
old ratty depots. Now it is all
changed. We have electric cars,
electric lights, a $15,000 pulic
a . school building, a private school
whose grounds and buildings cost
about the same, strong churches,
I strong Sunday schools, two mod-
| e wp depots, fine water system, ap-
I proximately one hundred new
houses are erected every year.
Real estate has doubled, trebbled
and quadrupled in price since
a then. Larger crowds than ever
crime here to do business, and
ndt oAe in a hundred ever thinks
of wanting whisky to drink. In
fact, you might be in town all
day and aot see a person who
had touched whisky. We have
tried prohibition and find it to be
___ . a great success, and most hearti-
ly commend it to .all men every-
where,and especially to the “busi-
ness men” of Dallas and Fort
Worth, who are always repre-
sented as being bitterly opposed
to bringing on prohibition elec-

Did you see the picture of that
church in the Dallas News of
Sunday? It is one recently built
at the town of Winnsboro, in
northest Texa^, a town that in
1900 had a population of 899, and
is not even a county seat. If that
photograph tells the truth that
bouse cost more than all the
church houses in Abilene com-
bined, leaving out the First Chris-
*> tian church, and it puts us to
Shame that a little . place like
that can leave us so far in the
rear. A stranger visiting Abi-
lence would conclude that all
of these churches are mission
churches and unable to build
homes like those in other towns.
It is not true, but the conclusion
would be irresistible in the mind
of a stranger. Build better
houses of worship and show your
colors.—Abilene Reporter.
Arlington is in pretty nearly
the same condition, but we ex-
pect to see one $15,000 brick
either city might attend and
board at home. Now if the Dal-
las papers will lend a helping
hand the school ought to be se-
dured.
A. great many young people
who live here, board at home and
attend the business schools of
Fort' Worth and Dallas, and it
would be perfe^ly practical for
them to live in the cities and at-
tend college here.
As to the temptations of the
cities, it seems to us that if the
discipline of the school was what
Bailey’s friends have tried to
claim much for him, because of
Gruett’s manifest infamy; but
Gruett is no worse than Bailey’s
two main witnesses, Johnson and
Pierce. Texas has a bill against
“My Dear Pierce” for perjury.,
and he doesn’t dare ccune to Tex-
at all. Gruett beat that a little.
If Bailey could get his dear
Pierce down here he could doubt-
less pr<jye most any old thing by
him.
Albert Baskin onght to sue the
Record for damages. Last Sun-
day that paper had the pictures
of several of our legislators, and
under each a short biographical
sketch, and they changed pict-
ures with Albert and put his
name and pedigree under an ugly
man’s picture, thereby perpetrat-
ing an outrage on Albert. By
the way, Albe/t’s own picture
doesn’t show up like he, himself,
did last spring at picnics.
The legislators are making it
hot for newspaper reporters,
who have been sending., off
yellow literature to northern and •
eastern papers. We don’t object.
A man ought to be careful
enought about what he says to
stand by it, or fall in its defense.
A newspaper man ought to bj
more careful .about what he says
than any one else on earth, be-
cause what he says is seen and
heard by so many people, while
an untrue statement made verb-
ally is heard by but few. That ,
good old commandment, “Thou
shalt not lie,” is a good rule for 1
everybody, but especially for ■

To us it looks like Chairman I The Branch Agricultural Col-
lege
1
L President Harrington, in his
annual report, dismiss_______
mon objection that the location
. of the college is malarial, but all
, that,can be said on this subject
will never dismiss the fears which
are general throughout the state.
There are hundreds and thouqr
ands df families living in the
' hilly, black land and prairie se£- egram to concede the location to
tions of the state who do not care some point between Fort Worth
to send their sons to College.Sta- an<j pana8 where pupils from
tion. Of course, with thelimited
capacity of the insfitution, that
objection doesn’t count since
probably twice as many student*,
would attend the college if they
could get the accommodations.
But when the legislature comes
to consider the matter of provid-
ing accommodation for possibly
3,000 students, which capacity in
all probability will have to be
steadily increased until the insti-
tution must care for multiplied
thousands, what then? Will it
be best to proceed upon a plan of
consolidated agricultural and me-
chanical college, with no branches
at all, or -will the other sections
of the state prefer a different ar-
rangement?
Is there any good reason why
the agricultural and mechanical
branches should always be kept
together?f ’’ 1 / “
President Harrington objects
to the location of the college near
a large city because of moral
considerations. There is some-
thing in the objection, but is it
not a fact that a branch, if it
were located midway between
two such cities as Dallas and Ft.
Worth, for instance, would se-
cure the attendance of hundreds
of students who could board at
home and receive their techno-
logical instruction at the school.
And would not access to industri-
al enterprises be of advantage to
mechanical students?
It seems to the Post that the
present institution in the scope
of its student capacity is but the
nucleus of the school we should
have. Suppose, for instance,
• that some city or some county ,
1 of north Texas should agree to
give the state the ground and
buildings for the mechanical
’ branch of the college, would it i
not be a good idea to accept the
tender and devote the institution ,
at College 'Station exclusively to
agricultural education?—Hous-
ton Post. '

up the discussion and adds its 1

Arlington needs more nice
business houses. We heard a
man who is paying $10,00 a
month for a little old dirty hole,
say the other day that he would
rather pay forty or fifty dollars
for a nite brick. And this is
the way the better class of
business men feel about such
things. The Journal hopes and
expects to“Se& several new bricks

Remedy for the Divorce Evil.
The Albany News says the
cause of so much divorce is be-
cause people get married without
becoming acquainted with each
other. The News says:
“What we’ve got to do to rem-
edy this evil is to go back to the
old fashion way of courtin’. In
our raising up it was fashion-
able for men and women to get
acquainted with each other. A
fellow would go upto his girl’s
house Saturday evening and stay
all night, and help his sweet-
heart wash the dishes, and rope
off the calf while she milked, go
a coon hunting Saturday night
with her big brother, and stay
all day- Sunday and help chase
the spring rooster down for din-
ner. He got acquainted with
the household, sparked her dad-
dy and mother and cultivated a
familiarity with the whole busi-
ness, even the dogs. He sparked
his girl in the cow pen, c^pwn by
the big spring, under the droop-
ing pillows, behind "the kitchen
door, In the big sitting room as
well as in the- parlor.

days when a couple stood at Hy-
men’s altar it meant a sure

County Commissioner Jdhn A.’
Hiett requests the Journal to say
that- the commissioner's court
wants all overseers in Tarrant
county to have their reports in
by the second Monday in Febru-
ary; also to recommend a good
man as overseer ror the coming
■year; and where there is no over-
seer we would be glad if some
citizen would name some one for
overseer, naming also the road -
and what division of the road it
is. We would like very much to

it should be, that question would I
hav£ nothing to do with the ques-
tion at issue. t
4 This fact is well demonstrated
in the management of the Car-
lisle Military Academy, located
in the suburbs of this city. In
this school the cadets are not al-
low^ to visit Arlington, much
less Dallas and Fort Worth,
without permission, and permis-
sion is only granted when neces-
sary. It is only a matter of dis-
cipline.
Of course the cadets are al-
lowed to visit the cities, or rather
they are taken to the cities, on
occasions of importance, but they
are always in charge of an officer
and under strict discipline.
Now is the time to look after
this matter, and it behooves ev-
ery citizen in Dallas and Fort
Worth and the country between
the two cities, to be up and do-
ing.
If this school was located among
us, a ten-months term of school
that now costs a boy $300 or
$400 could be had for about $50.
This alone should bestir the peo-
ple to action. It would, more-
support the suggestion of the over, be a source of great pride
and an incentive to higher ideals r
'K would liftcoinft,subject of
ment returned against them by
the present grand jury, charged
with selling tobacco to boys un-
der sixteen years' of age. Mer-
chants at other towns in the
county have also been indicted
on similar charges. The law, no
doubt, in most instances, was
violated unthoughtedly and un-
knowingly. That it is against
the law to sell tobacco in any
form to boys under sixteen years
of age is not generally known.—
Grand View Tribune.
Wonder if Arlington merchants
know of Much a law? It is a good
one and ought to be enforced. If
it included “old boys’L as well as
sapheads it would be all the bet-
ter.
Fort Worth for ■ several reasons.
The first of these, and the most
important, is the question of
morality. .So close to two cities.
• such as Fort Worth and Dallas,
either of which may be reached
in thirty minutes it's almost a cer-
tainty that many of the young
men would spend as much of their
time as they possibly could in
one or the other of the cities, and
it cannot be denied that the
f temptations are; many in, either
place.
Weatherford, is the natural
home for such an institution.
Here the soil is varied and pro-
ductive, as has been proven; wa-
ter is good; health unequaled;
the elevation all that could be
desired, Virile for intelligence,
hospitality and morality our town
has few equals and no superiors.
—Weatherford Herald.’
As Weatherford is only about
thirty miles from Fort Worth,
the same objections urged by the
Herald would apply with equal
force to that town. A little mat-
Joseph sat (er pf fifteen additional mile3,
' ’ ’ ’ would pot cut much ice with the
student’w*ho was out for a good
time, and there are five passen-
ger trains each way daily be-
tween Fort Worth and Weather-
ford.
The suggestion of locating the
doubt that it’s great to be great. branch the college miffway
between Fort Worth and Dallas
is a good one. It would give the
school
general pride. Dallas would feel
just as much interest in the school
as Fort Worth, and it would re-
move all incentives for wrangling
between Tarrant and Dallas coun-
ties over the location of the
school.
The Telegram hopes to see the
enterprising citizens of both Ft.
Wprth and Dallas take hold ol
this suggestion and go after it
with all the vim and determina-
tion at their command, for it is
quite possible that something will
be done by the present legisla-
ture. Existing conditions at the
college must be remedied, and i<
is believed that even the collegt
authorities are in favor-of branch-
ing out and getting in closer
touch with the populous and pros-
