In the death of Colonel George Wash- j

great ability and proved patriotism. If
ability to get out among the people and j

whether real or imaginary, constitutes
one a commoner, thon Hash. Jones must
be reckoned among the foremost in Tex-
as history. With a mind stored with
ii-gal lore, and with varied experience in
war and in civil life, he had wonderfully
developed the faculty of adaptability,
tiid without mock humility could make
the foiling masses feel that he was in-
deed their friend. His one fatal mistake
of judgment, common enough twenty-
rtve years ago, was <n supposing that the
government could create values. The
