had roads a handicap.
We arc pained to aee our esteemed contem-
poraries, the Navasota Examiner-Review and
the l> ryan Eagle involved in a controversy
growing out of the discussion of the roads of
Brazos county. Navasota sent about a hun-
dred visitors to Brenham to see a recent show.
The Examiner-Rev iew . aythey came because
the roads were too had t<< k'> to Bryan; the
Eagle ays they could not get seats at Bryan.
It. make.-, tio different to Brenham why they
came. We are glad they did come, on this
occa; ion as well a.- countless others. Navasota
people and Bryan people, too, are alvvav- wel-
come, and when they get here we make them
feel at home. As far as the shows are con-
cerned, we have it from Alex Simon that no
visitor from Navasota or any ,-ister city need
ever fear he will nol he taken care ol. II the
house is full there are patriots aplenty in Bren
ham, and some of 'em will stand up that, all
visitors who have journeyed from afar may
be comfortable.
Kditor Buchanan intimate, that Bryan is the
Only first -da . town in this section. Kegard-
Ics, of the size, or wealth, of Brenham as com-
pared with any of her dster cities, no repre-
sentative citizen, to say nothing of the press,
would ever cast a slur upon a neighbor or
mock one earnest ell'ort. All towns and vil-
lage have their battles to light before they
attain greatness, and sometimes after the ob-
stacles have all been overcome, they still fall
short of I heir expectations.
Brenham and we speak for every citizen
rejoices in the triumphs of its neighbors—
sorrows in their disappointment and regard-
less of the growth Iirenham may attain, will
ever cherish the highest regard for the splen-
did towns in this section of the state.
Come to Brenham.

Kalfurrias facts, published in the metropo-
lis of the South Texas citrus fruit, early veg-
etable and pri/.e ,lerse\ cattle belt, i respon-
sible for this one: "facts has received a prop-
osition from a concern somewhere way oil to
furnish ready-made editorial matter at so much
per. While no doubt the matter furnished
would be better than we could possibl> dope
out, yet we prefer the homemade, even if in-
ferior grade ul editorials. Resides, we never
did like to read our whole editorial column in
some other paper the same week we publish
it." "Ruy-it-madc-in-Te\as" is the favorite
slogan of many Texas papers just now. fn-
like falfurrias facts, a majority of those who
are crying it are not living up to the preach-
ments for which il is made to serve as a text,
however. Not a few of the most strenuous
"buy-it-made-in-Texns" exhorters are steadily
featuring jingles and other junk bought by the
yard from Kansas, Indiana and other syndi-
cate writers. And they are taking pride in
calling attention to pages of canned "dope"
bought by the cord in the east. There is no
reason why a Texas paper should have to look
beyond the state line for "tiling" for its col-
umns. If the press of this state would try
practicing what it preaches in this particular
and decide to assist in the development of a
home newspaper feature producing industry it
would not be long before it would have at its
command a supply of material of that class
that would far excel the drearily "fakey" out-
put it is now compelled to depend upon when
attempting to diversify.—Beaumont Enter*
prise.
We reproduce this as the best article on
"Buy-it-made-in-Texas" we have ever seen or
hope to see. A newspaper, above all things,
should be consistent, and a lot of them in Tex-
as lack a whole lot of being so. We never had
any sympathy for the B-I-M-I-T movement
anyhow, but let the newspapers which are ad-
vocating it so warmly at least pull a few beams
out of their own eyes.—Abilene Reporter.

Brenham needs a new charter. Let us not
remain asleep while all surrounding towns are
pushing forward. The old town will hold its
own with the best of them if the business men
will work together.
ONE PAPER 'IIEST.
for the past five years, (which represents
the time the present editor, has been at the
helm of the Reporter) at more or less frequent
intervals there bobs up in Rockdale talk of
"another newspaper". These rumors are more
frequent in campaign years, of course, and we
understand that there has a time or two been
something more than mere rumor in the re-
port. Having heard these reports so often we
have come to regard them with little concern;
iri fact, we are really of the opinion that the
sooner some boomer gets in and goes broke the
better it will be for everybody concerned, in-
cluding ourself. it takes money to run a news-
paper in Rockdale, and when a second paper
attempts to get out as good a paper as the Re-
porter the fact will be mighty sopr^ realized.
Rockdale business men are loyal to the Re-
porter, and the Reporter is loyal to the town
and ('(immunity- and that's a combination that
absolutely can't be overthrown. And yet i!
would have to be overthrown if the second pa-
per wa. to succeed, for Rockdale i not big
enough for two newspaper-. II ha been tried

delinquent taxes,
l ew people are familiar with the recent tax
laws passed by the Thirty-fourth Legislature.
One in particular is of vast interest to the
people and should be understood -the delin-
quent, law.
'I'lns make il mandatory upon the tax col-
lector to notify the county attorney of all de-
linquencies, and he diali bring mit.
Taxes unpaid by febrtiary 1 are delinquent
taxes. The collector by May I must notify
every delinquent of his condition.
Ninety day- are then given for ettlernent
of the delinquencies, that is until August 1.
The county attorney must then enter suit
between August I and January I
flie law is very strict and provides for the
removal of oHiccrs who fail to do this with-
in the prescribed time.
No taxes have been sued upon in many coun-
ties of the State for years. This leaves a large
list of delinquents, all of whom must be sued
by January 1, 1!H7, if they do not make set-
tlement. -I! radii Standard.

'I'he cotton seed oil mill of Jacksonville has
given out the announcement to the farmers
'tirrounding the town that they will install a
peanut crusher in time to handle the seasnit^
crop, and will be in the market for all the pea-
nuts they can get, for which they will pay. the
market price. This insures that a large pea-
nut crop will be raised in the vicinity of Jack-
sonville, and that the farmers of that section,
who are of a diversification bent of mind in
their work, having hitherto accumulated much
wealth in the growing of tomatoes and other
truck, will continue to prosper. -Naentidiu-hi .

A plate glass company of Pittsburg makes
the announcement that it will allow all employ-

is spent in a military training camp. We ex-

"Where there is a great deal of smoke there
must be some fire" is the sense of an old ad-
age. Why not get another man for the >u-
prenie court, and save all this wrangling. Of

Personally we commend the distinguished
Mexicans who abandoned the revolutionary
plot at San Antonio. Revolutionists a* a class
do not live long. Madero was murdered. Oros-
eo and a hundred smaller men have paid the
penalty, Huerta died in prison, and Villa has
a price on his head.
