I Texas should call forth the hearty II
endorsement of evary loyal citizen

the day in aoma man-1
latter years there has been a l
I tendency to forget this red letter day 11
in Texas history. The people have I
thoughtlessly allowed other matters
to divert their attention from the an-
niversary of the event which made
their presence lu Texas under the
present favorable conditions possible I
This attitude should be changed
this year. It is Important that the
people realize the significance of the
victory at San Jacinto. An under-
standing of what was involved there
i will make them more appreciative of
. their citizenship, and inspire them
' With a deeper loyalty to tile State,
j and its instittuions which rest upon

Tlie purest and loftiest principles of
Americanism were vindicated on that
i historic field In commemorating
I that battle. Texas citizens are honor-
ling not only Texas, but the whole
American nation, which it helped, to
expand, strengthen and secure.
Tlie celebration in Houston is of
unusual Interest b yreason of th#
proximity of tlie Han Jacinto battle-
field, and the fact that descendants
of tlie heroes of the battle are in
charge of the arrangements. It Is to
be assumed that Houston will observe
tlie day in a fitting manner. But Sail
Jacinto Day is a statewide holiday.
Its observance should not be confined
to the localities of historic interest,
such as Houston and San Antonio.
There is yet time for patriotic lead-
ers In every oommunity to organize]
un observance that will be instructive i
and inspirational to all the people,]

HEAVY RAIN AT WHARTON

There’s a vast difference between
an t ordinary human being and
genus homo who presides over
destiny of a great religious daily. In
weather like this the ordinary hu-
man being can stand or prance
around his place of business, grit Ills
teeth, brush the dust of his shelves,
and cuss, either out loud, in a whis-
per or under his breath. Then lie
can go home, abuse his wife and
children, break up the dishes and
furniture, stamp around and roar and
get relief. But not so with us Sick
or well, dry, wet, cold, shaking or
shivering, we must shine forth every
day, day after day, with an unquench-
able and undrenchable smile an<!
manufacture shunahine "wluir ltl|ar
air" no sunshine and lie the same
thing to all mankind. Some people
think we wouldn't like to cuss a little
too, but they are mistaken. We want
to. but dare not. for there must be
one even tempered saint in every
world of disgruntled and that
saint is always to be found in tlie
newspaper office. Rain or shine, he's
on the job, bearing his burdens pa-
tiently and smoothing out every-
body’s along with it. But. really,
there's not much to grumble over.
For instance, suppose the 8 or 10
inches of rain we have had since
yesterday morning had been 20 or 25
inches. Don’t you see the difference?
And suppose it quits right off now
and stays as dry as old King Tilt’s
tomb from now on, can't you see how
dry it will be? It's all in the view-
point, friends. You think this is a
lot of water, but you don’t know what
water is. Just go down to the Gulf
and look at that bunch of it.
After some 24 hours of careful fig-
uring, we have arrived at the con-
clusion that it will probably rain.
We would probably have come closer
to it earlier in our calculations, but
the sun slipped a cog some 48 years
ago and caused us to miss the
zodiacal diabolical diaphram of the
dactyloglossa, which is a division of
taenioglossate gastropods widening
a: the end and deeply digitated or
peccinated as in amphailpersadiue.
Now you know what we think of tlie
weather.

We have now entered the second
spasm of the ’ flu’ 'epidemic. There’s
always something interesting on lap
Those fellows who are stirring
things up by scattering a few bags
I of sand in the air from airplanes
and making it rain are a tong way
from being half as smart as they
think they are. In this country, all
we have to do for rain is to yell once,
look crosseyed, paw the mud a little
or spit, and the deluge comes. No
little old sand stunt goes with us.
