Editor Gilliland, of tbe Baird
Star, in expressing bis regrets over
tbe news that a large drug hrtn in
Abilene had gone into bankruptcy,
that be had had business dealings
with the arm in a “awall” way.
What does he mean by that? The
Gazetteer hopes it didn’t contrib-
ute to the tailnre.
If there is a paper in the state
that the Gazetteer admires it is
the Houston Chronicle. It ie never
afraid to show its colors, it never
straddles an issue. It is bold and
fearless and is (he kind of paper
honest and decent people like, hence
its great influence and enormous cir-
culation. The Chronicle is an
honor so Houston snd a credit to tbe
journalism of the state. The Chron-
icle seldom “alleges.” It has at-
tained its present proud position on
account of its courage and ability.
Ir does things, and that is why the
people swear by it. ,

An electric rued sixty miles long

Acconjing to the report of the
census bureau, just issued, the total
production of cotton in 1904 was
bales of 500 pound*
each. This is 3,481,896 bales in
excess of tbe crop of 1903. The
largest crop ever produced in the
United States prior to 1904, w
that of 1808, 11,353,000 bales.
The St, Louts Chronicle is after
one or two unsafe theaters in St.
Louis. Tbe Chronicle says:
The Iroquois theater fire awak-
ened the public to tbe fact that
wlpile the laws were sufficient to
have, provided against tbe disaster,
tbe Chicago officials,from the mayor
down, bad shat tfceir eyes to both
the laje snd the condition. And
that case was but typical of hun-
dreds of others that put horror into
the daily news.
There are even now two or three
theaters in St. Louis where a repe-
tition of tbe Iroquois theater horror
in Chicago is liable to be repeated
at any time.
And tbit state of affairs applies
equally to the theater here. A panic
or fire is sure to result in loss of life
and it is liable to happen at almost
any entertainment. ~
