Texas and marvelous as are the chal-
enging resources bestowed by a gen-
erous hand of a beneficent Creator,
the Star of Texas has not yet ap-
proached its noonday splendor.
We recall the statement made re-
cently by riorce Brooks at a gather-

the Valley of the Rio Grande, and
Iowa and Nebraska spread over the
Panhandle; with Wyoming and Mon-

Washington and Oregon in the forest
of the west: with Pennsylvania in
her beds of coal and pools of pctro-
ieum and with one fifth of the
earth's production bursting in the
white bannersof her fields of cotton;
with more than New York in her
ports and shipping.—Texas lifts up
her eyes to a greater tomorrow."
