Some weeks ago The Statesman call-
ed attention to the expressed opinion
of the visiting British workmen who
came to this country to Investigate the
Industrial conditions which seem to be
making America Industriously pre-em-
inent over every other nation.
John Foster Fraser was one of this
delegation. He returned home and
wrote ‘'America at Work,” which he
has contributed to Nineteenth century.
His observations are worthy of more
than a passing glance. While he makes
the positive statement that the British
workman is superior to the American,
his various conclusions do not justify
the acceptance of his view on superi-
ority.

of the attorney general instead of a
special act giving the state this power

passed. This summary is from the bill

Travis County Prospects.
Earnest Pflueger of Pfluegerville,
one of the most prominent planters of
Travis county, was in the city yester-
day on some personal business. Speak-
ing of crop conditions in his section
of the county he declared that the out-
look was never brighter and from
nd present prospects the crops this year
ed Would exceed that of many seasons
previous. He said the recent rains
which have fallen in this county have
proven of incalculable benefit to the
coming crop. The chance, for a big
oat crop, he sald were never better in
the history of Travis county, simi-
lar reports are received from different
sections of Travis and adjacent coun-
ties.
No man is responsible for what be-
comes of his oftorto, or for the effects

possible. The results are not his af-
fair.

One of the interesting measures that
become a law during the special ses-
sion of the Twenty-eighth legislature
was senate bill No. 11, by Senator Per-
kins. Heretofore whenever the state
entered Into the condemnatign of
property for public use it was done un-
der authority of a special law, as in
the case of the San Jacinto battle-
ground, and also In laying pipe and
mains to supply the capital building,
governor’s mansions and other state
institutions with water, light and
"two things came out most prominent-
ly: first, that the British artisan is
superior to the American workman;
and, secondly, that the American man-
ufacturers, the employer, the director
of labor, is infinitely superior to his
British prototype. The chief reason
America is bounding ahead as an In-
dustrial nation Ils not excellence of
workmanship, but ability in adminis-
tration, In control, in being adaptable
to the necessities of the day.”
While Mr. Fraser stands by the En-
glishman as the better workman, all
the facts mentioned by him go to prove
the superiority of the American. He says
in one breath that the British workman
is the best of his class In the world
and that, give him time, and he will
turn out a better article than anybody
else, and in the next he says that the
American is alert and does not feel
that new machinery is going to dis-
place him.
"It is exceptional,” says Mr. Fraser,
"for a British employer to get an Im-
provement on machinery suggested by
a British workman. In the first place,
the British workman has not that
zest for his work which the American
has: In the second place it is none
of his business to Invent; in the third,
even if he thought of an improve-
ment, he has a shyness about ap-
proaching the employer; fourthly, the
chances are he might be snubbed by
his employer.”
But do not these very traits which
the American workman has and the
British has not—-this test, this putting
of brain into labor—do not these traits
make the American the better work-
man? ’'Time and time again,” Mr.
Fraser writes, "as I have gone through
the workshops of the United States,
I have almost been staggered at the
mere boys who are managers and
heads of departments; not the sons
of proprietors, but young fellows who
have started at the bottom, proved
their grit, shown their energy, and
been pushed on to high positions. It
is not at all unusual to find a man of
24 years having the control of several
thousand men. And the fact that a
man is young and unmarried is no
reason, in the employer’s mind, why
he should receive comparatively small
energy to this development be re
to prove which Mr. Fraser adduces
it, but is it not also evidence of the
ability of the American workman? Mr.
Fraser attributes the superiority of
the American manufacturer, employer
and director of labor to the fact that
they have sprung from a hardy and
resolute mixed breed of Immigrants
(not an Anglo-Saxon race at all), have
started from the bottom and -"gone
through the mill,” whereas the’Eng-
lish manufacturer is generally the col-
lege bred, golf playing son or grand-
son of the founder of the business;
but is not the American workman also
of this same breed’ of immigrants
from whom springs his employer?
According to the vlws of Mr. Fras-
•r it is the brains mixed with the
management of Americar business
that gives this country its industrial
predominance. But judging by the
detailed statements of his observa-

The problem confronting the gover-
nor and the people in reference to the
general revenue situation 1a not only
serious, but inevitable. In her march
of progress the state has taken on sev-
eral additional charges in the way of
educational and benevolent institutions,
and they are not to be abapdoned. The
provisions contemplated by the legis-
lature are ample, yet giving compara-
tively small latitude for retrenchment,
without at the same time trenching
upon the usefulness and welfare of
public interests.
Against all this is the hard fact that
the probable revenues win fail by a
million of dollars or more of approxi-
mating the expenses authorized by the
appropriation bill. If the revenues for
each of the ensuing two years reach
what they did last year they will fall
below the appropriation bill by consid-
erably more than a million of dollars.
For the first three months of this year
the revenue has fallen below that of
last year by nearly two hundred thou-
sand dollars. There is certainly noth-
ing in this to justify.the wonderful in-
crease the optimists prophecy.
Any man can take the appropriation
bill and find, upon careful study, that
little more than half a million can be
eliminated without serious Injury to
those Interests which the state is pledg-
ed to protect. Even so great a decrease
must beat the expense of some interest
which hundreds of people will regard
as of vital importance. To go beyond
this is but to Increase the number of
people who will believe great harm has
been done by each additional elimina-
tion of items of appropriation. To go
beyond this but trenches that much
more vitally upon the actual needs of
the state's best interests.
It is not contemplated that the gov-
ernor should shoulder the responsibil-
ity for the situation. The legislature
has seen fit to make liberal and fairly
needed appropriations. Beyond the
exercise of reasonable care to see that
nothing extravagant, nothing unneces- '
sary, nothing unlawful, which may
have escaped detection In the passage
of the bill, gets into the law, the gov-
ernor should be charged with no me-
sponsibility. The people want normal
schools, and through their representa-
tives has ordered them. Beyond his du-
ty to see that these orders do not exceed
the needs of the state and are put Into
operation with a view to expediency,
it is not for the governor to refuse to
carry out the behests of the people.
The extended field of usetulness di-
rected for the elelemosynary institu-
tions by th. legislature requires the
expenditure of large sums of money.
Beyond exercising vigilance In getting
the full benefits of the expenditure,
and In having the money expended In
such way as to least embarrass the '
treasury, the governor can not be ex-
pected to Interpose between the people
nnd what they want.
If he pursues this Idea the deficit will
be a heavy one. If he lops from the
bill every available item, the deficit <
will still be a heavy one. This is not 1
the fault of the governor, nor his re- '
p9natbility.

nt present no prospects for substan-
tial roadways into the suburbs and
unless something is done in the way
of macadam this summer a rainy win-
ter will repeat the awful condition
which prevailed In this city the past
winter. By all mean© let’s have a
rock pile or devise some method of
building streets so that during wet
weather a vehicle can get out of the
business district.—Beaumont Journal.
Unless Beaumont preserves the
rocks thrown at her by envious Hous-
ton, the question presents Itself
where is Beaumont going to get its
rock pile? If the missiles from Hous-
ton should be saved for any length of
time the rock pile will be certainly
large enough to work.
