Now that the legislature Huh decided that no
appropriation will be made for the representation
of tbia at ate at the St. Louis exposition we will
have to content ouraelves with telling the world
the advantage* we have without an opportunity to
show them. A generous u in play at the exposi-
tion would have done much for the advancement
of the state, and it is safe to estimate that the
development of the state will be retarded ten or
ñfteen years by the failure to have the greatest
state in the world represented a* it should be.
It will be pretty hard for Texas people who at-
tend the fair to have to say that their state was
too poor or too tnossbackish to be represented.
The spirit that will not turn loose a dollar for a
return of thousands and the advancement of the
state seems to be in the majoritv in our legisla-
ture. However, it might be expected when we¡
have to send men to Austin who can save money
on $2 a day. This state needs broad-minded men
for its lawmakers, and the pay should be such
that a man with a brain bigger than a mustard
seed could afford to devote his time to the inter-
ests of the state. Suppose we will have to stay
at home or tell people that we came from some
other state, and it is a pretty pass when a man
has to be ashamed of a great state like Texas.
It skkms to be a settled fact that the Houston
Post will establish a new morning paper at Fort
Worth, to be run in connection with and along the
same lines as the Houston paper. This will prove
! an important factor in the fulure of Fort Worth
and that city should lake hold of the proposition
with a business grip and swing to it. If Fort
Worth had had a paper like the Post lifteen years
| ago and had supported it. she would have been
the metropolis of North Texas today. It is to be
hoped that the opportunity will be properly ap«
; preciated.
Caldwell, Texas, April 3, 1903.
THE POETICAL DEPARTMENT.
This week we begin the publication of a new-
department under the head "Meddling with
Mnses," which will be from the pen of our old
friend. S. H. German, now of Livingston, Texas,
who is well known to the readers oí our columns
during the past four years, and who needs neither
introduction nor recommendation from us.
While Mr. German will speak mostly through
the medium of the muses his work will not be
limited to rhvme only, and his effort will be to
cheer, to brighten, to uplift, to strengthen, to en-
noble, and we believe the Nkws-Chkonici.k and its
readers will be the better for this addition.
Meddling Witt) Muses
Thk demand for immediate work on the streets
to smooth them off is heard on every corner, and
the grader ought to be run over the streets at
the earliest possible moment, as they are so
rough that it is almost impossible to drive over
them, even where they are dry.
Nkxi Tuesday is election day, and it behooves
the progressive citizens to see that there arc two'
progressive, energetic men elected as aldermen.
The man who takes no interest in the election
should be perpetually debarred from kicking at
paying taxes, or at any act of the city govern-
ment. Help elect good men, and then back them
up in what they do.
Tomokkow night is the regular meeting of the
Business League, and every member of that or-
ganization should be present. On account of the
bad weather there has been little work done by
that organization the past month, but now that
the weather has settled it is time to begin again,
and there are plenty of places where the League
can do work that will be of value to the town.
Don' i forget about that street paving proposi*
tion. A great many bigger things have been ac>
complished by smaller towns than Caldwell, and
if the citizens of the town will make a united ef-
fort it will be accomplished. The street must be
paved sooner or later, and the sooner we get it
properly graded, drained and paved the sooner
we will sa ve the money that has to be spent on it
each year.
How would it do to pave one block of the main
street with a good solid rock and gravel pave-
■ent, as an experiment, and see how it wears and
bow much it costs. Surely enough money could
be raised to macadamize one block, and when the
value of the pavement was realised there would
be no trouble in finishing the whole street, even
tbovgh it would require a great deal of work and
considerable cash.

What if the streets are mud?
What if the roads arc bad?
What if the hopes of farming
Are enough to make us *.«d?
What if the wood has \cnmhrd?
And the rain keeps on to pour?
Will it do any good to grumble?
Would it stop from raining more?
Will it ma ;c the sun shine brighter
If you wear a hopeless frown?
Will it make the load seem lighter
If you go with head hung down?
It seems to me much better
In these disheartening days.
To smile when the ground gets wetter,
And look for the sunny ways.
So wait and keep hoping, my brother,
There's time enough for the sun
To bless all the world with shining.
Just like he always has done.
There's time enough yet for roses-
Fur fortune to smile in your house;
So go right ahead with your working.
And trust with the old-time grace.
Cbe VBatiOcrer'0 Call.
Memory calls back from over the sea;
Memory calls back from home to me-
To one who pines on a foreign shore,
Who left his home to come back no more
Memory and home call back to me.
And my Love calls back from over the sea,
And the love of my Love calls back to me;
And the faithful love of a faithful one,
The love that lasts as true as the sun—
This love calls pleadingly back to me.
These old pine hills of Texas,
They have no charm for some,
And there's no special reason
Whv I should call them home.
Yet take them every season,
In winter, spring or fall,
There's something good about them —
I love them best of all.
DKAH RISADKS:—
The above is poetry. Perhaps for some time
to come I shall speak to you through this column
in the same tone of voice. It shall be my pur-
pose to do you good—to make this seem like •
better world for us all to live in. If I ever help
yon in any way by what I say here, won't you
please let me know about it? Gkkman.
