Mr. (Iniflon held a mo-ting in

The Signal hopes to see the Com-
mercial Club get busy now to get the
Katy-Central extension to Snyder and
also to secure the location of tlio
West Texas A. & M. College.
These Institutions will be built and
the town that gets them will have to
go after them.
When public concerns begin to look
for a location they look for suitable
conditions and at the same time they
aro governed by the spirit of the peo
ple. They are not apt to run over a
community to Ret there. They watch
public sentln .it and If we fail to
manifest a desire to havo them they
will llBten to propositions from oth.
ers.
Our businessmen ought to get to
gether and formulate a proposition
and go to the promoters and show
them what we have and what we want
to do. Snyder cannot afford to lay
down on these things for In seeking
to save a dollar we would likely lose
a huudrod. Our people want to get a
move on right now.

Hon. Jno. W. Woods representing
fi12lHt District In the Lower
I Inline b:iH Introduced a t 1 1 1 provld.
Ing 'or compulsory education of chil-
dren between the ages of 8 and 14
years. The legislature Ik giving pre-
ferred attention to educational mat-
ters and some of the strongest mem-
bers of the Legislature are on the
Committees dealing with education
Bilbjectn.
Many Interesting statistics ami in-
structive comparisons have been pro-
sented by Mr. Woods who Ik author-
ity on durational matters as well as
an earnest friend of the children.
Only (IG percent of our scholastic
population Is enrolled in school and
the average schooling now received
by each child in Texas Is ii'i days per
annum. The bill providen one hun.
dred and twenty days schooling per
n n mi in for each child but school trus
tecs are permitted to reduce the com-
pulsory attendance to 72 days If they
hco proper. In California the average
number of days schooling each child
received hi 97 and the expenditure
per capita of average attendance Is
$!!. (11 against $18.50 In Texas.
Tho Passage of the bill will result
In practically doubling the school at-
tendance In tills State.
LEGISLATURE OVERRIDES
THE GOVERNOR'S VETO
Knty-Cenlrnl .Merger liill Pawil by
Idle of More Than Tuo.Tlilnls.
West Teat Pleased
News was received here last Fri-
day in tho way of a telegram from
Representative A. J. Ilaglna to Judge
Iluchanan that the Mouse of Repre-
sentatives at Austin had passed the
Katy-Centrnl consolidation bill over
tho veto of t!ov. Colquitt by a vote
of 88 to 38. The bill then went to
the Senate nnd on Monday of tliia
week It was passed by that body by
a vote of 22 to 6. The bill thus be.
conies effective without consent of
the Governor. This bill was passed
in response to a popnl r desire In a!!
the country affected.
It has heretofore been undcrxto d
that the extension of the Texas Ceil
Iral was stopped because the nv did
not permit a merging of i!i- f'ti.trnl
and the Katy Interests and -hat the
management have b"n a I i 'i n ro
than two years for r. law to permit
hin h merger.
Tli'-se conditions have hindered
railroad building hikI hampered de-
velopment In West Texas. We now
have ground upon which to base
hopes for the early extension of the i
road from Rotan to Snyder. The pass.
age of the bill In the legislature
ibrlngs Joy to the p.-ople of WeM Tex- J
jas and especially along the probable '
! Hues of eitenslolii. J

l aiiglil Member of Snyder
Chapter Xo. '-'HO It.
A Masons.
To the Most Kxeclleiil High Prleat
Officers and Companions:
T. J. Fauglit was one of those no-
lilenien of God whom it was always
a delight and pleasure to meet. Ho
was a tine Texan a typical western-
er a patriotic God fearing man. lov-
ing citizen. Ho was a man of ster-
ling iiialitles and noble Impulses who
made Innumerable friends and al-
ways kept them. He may have appear-
ed briiK(iie sometimes but at heart
ho was one of the truest men God
ever made.
No man ever had occasion to ac-
cuse him of dishonesty nnd his earn-
est manner Impressed all who enme
In contact with til in. Ho was in fact
n most unusual man. and in his
death the community nnd thin chap. J
ter which he served with fidelity and :
distinction have suffered an Irrepar-
able Iokh.
In death ho has not and caiino:
be forgotten by those of us whose
good fortune It was to know him
Intimately In life.
"What you pre speaks so loud we
cannot hear what you say"
That saying oT the wise philos-
opher would apply with great force
and accuracy to tho life of T. J.
Fa light.
We can readily recall tunny Inci
dents connected with the life or our
departed companion and afl of them
tend to forcibly Impress on the mind
t.io greatness of the man and let It
be said now to the credit and honor
of him who his passed into the great
beyond that ho lived not to hlnis:i
a'one. No need to record the pmoi
of this statement. It Is known io all
u:cn. liPd thl one generous trail 'a
IiIh character will outlive his faults
and folhbs.
No greater eulogy can be paid to
any one than that he was a man
worthy the confidence of IiIb fellow
man and that he contributed his til- i
out to the betterment of mankind.
We cannot say. and we will not say.
That ho Is dead he Is Just away.
With a cherry snnie mm
of
tho hand.
He has wandered Into an unknown
land
And left us dreaming r.v very f-'""
It needs must be t.!l.ce he lingers
there.'

The Signal had occasion last week
to mention a mineral find by M. F.
Pryor on Ills farm In the north p:irt
I"' I1"' county. The specimen appeared
to lie rich In sliver. It had been
brought to the surface by prairie
dogs. T I : I i discovery has led to ex
tended investigation and other spo-iflve
linens of ore have been dug out.
Mr. Pryor stales that further ex-
amination of the ore shows sum"
traces of silver hut tho predomlnat.
Ing valuable element seems to be (up-
per. It Is expected that further lists
will be made and It Is bvlicvcd that
this find Is apt to prove strong enough
to justify working.

The A. M. College at Mryan has
grown so large that II Is unwieldy
and the faculty and the student body
have trouble every year. Then that
school is so far away from West Tex-
iih that our hoys are not so mu'li
Inclined to go there.
It is hardly a practical school for
West Texas any way since the ng.
riciiltural methods applicable there
do not fit the west. For these rea-
sons and many others there ought
to be an agricultural college In west
Texas and It Is now believed there
will be one.
It will be located somewhere and
there Ih no more suitable place than
Snyder. Here we have the soil the
climate the transportation facilities twenty four year sold ami th-
without any of tlio draw backs. The most curious feature about him was
Plains country Ih too far north the 'bat his horns measured s.m n and
F.I I'aso country is too for West. jone-hair feet from tip to tip.
Scurry county is admirably posi-j Mr- Green has I n offer.-. I r ne
Honed for ctnvenleiicc to all of the'l'rlees for these horns many tin..-
west The conditions here are p.iui-
ble so that the student trained here
in agriculture will be equipped with
knowledge easily applied anywhere
In the west. We will have to see
a concerted movement here to secure
the school.

Mrs. Hortenae Wjrd
Mrs. Hortense Ward of Houston
is asking the l.r g.lsl it ore lo pass a
law giving married women contrac-
tual rights. The proposed measure
has the endorsement of the Texas'
'-ederailon of Women's Clubs. Similar
legiaianon lias neen placed on ttie
statute hooks of many states. The
Texas Homestead Law was the first
of Its kind In the world and was en.
acted primarily lo protect wives a-
tr.illist the recklessness of husbands i
and the women now ask that the prln
clple Involved be expanded and ex-
tended to all property.
There are other Impottiril meas-
ures before the legislature of exclu-
Interest to women. A bill grant-
Ing the right of suifrnge to women
has a favorable committee r port In
the House and the struggle for the
ke.VH to the Alamo is always exclu-
sively a ladles' a fa r.
The women do not lobby; they
nppeiii to reason out ttiey are
much more successful In promoting
legislation than men. This session of
the legislature has witnessed mor"
women appearing before committees
than that of any assembly In the his-
tory of Texas law making.
