the echoes far and near. The solution of the
problem seems to be in providing wharf and
dock facilities and utilizing the deep water
that has been provided by the government in
Buffalo bayou and a mighty effort is now be-
ing made to arouse some interest there in this
matter.
THE PERSISTENT ADVERTISER.
Spread out before us is the Timpson Daily
^Ties. It's a “four column folio” with its
accoutrement of “foreign ads” made pec-
by its lack of home patronage in the
, of local advertising. The “space writer”
this igsue has never been to Timpson, he
celV knows where it is, but during irter-
„ he reads the publication because he likes
Should he ever take the siding there he
£ would search out one Frank Goldstein if he
needed anything from a linen collar to a suit of
clothes, for he occupies the back page of the
Times day after day telling of his wares. We
are becoming familiar with other patrons of
the paper, but we are sure its patronage is no
index to the town. We admire the Madam’s
; eurmisCs above all else. May you and yours
* live long and prosper.—Lufkin Tribune.
So it is in every editorial sanctum in Texas
and elsewhere—and in other places than the
newspaper offices, too.

large extent, and, no matter how bright, newsy
' and entertaining the paper is, if its columns
are bare of advertisements of local merchants,
a disagreeable impression is made upon the
mind of the reader.
And how we learn to admire the persistent,
faithful advertiser, whose name always stands
out in bold relief in every issue of the paper.
iWe learn to look upon him as a public spirited,
enterprising citizen and a first class business
man and if we have occasion to visit the town,
or if any of our friends go there, that man’s
gto?e is the one that will be visited, if any trad
ing is done.
As Frank Goldstein is to Timpson, so is
every other business man to his community
who persistently uses the columns of the local
paper.
H. E. Hershey, industrial agent of the
Santa Fe railroad, lias been elected secretary
of the Commercial Club at Waco and will
enter upon his new duties at once. Mr. Hershey
is a real live wire and the Waco people have
made a master stroke in securing him as sec-
retary of their commercial organization. He
1ms made a careful and systematic study of
the resources of the state, the opportunities of-
fered for industrial development and has lines
on those sections from Whieh immigration and
capital can be drawn to Texas. Hershey is a
good man and the Waco'dub is to be congratu-
lated.
“Uncle Joe” Cannon seems to have put his
foot in it pretty badly by his statement that
Bryan had accumulated a million dollars by
rolling wind and ink to the*public. The great
Commoner has retaliated by stating clearly
and concisely how much wealth he owns and
just how it was accumulated and now he asks
Uncle Joe to be just as frank with the people
and tell them just how much he is worth and
how he has found time from his onerous duties
of thirty-five years in congress to accumulate
this wealth. The speaker evidently has the hot
end of that stick and will be calling for some
one to help him turn it loose.

‘ No, Gertrude, we really do not see how
empty tomato eans can be utilized to beautify
the home, but you might write to the Ladies’
Home Journal. The landscape of the rice belt
is to such an extent beautified by tin cans that
a bushel or two ornamented with pink ribbon
would attract no attention, even in your recep-
tion room.—Crowley (I*a.) Signal.
The sarcastic paragraph above touches a
matter that is of the greatest importance. It
is a sad commentary upon the enterprise and
industry of the average farmer in this country
that while he has land that will grow anything
known in the wav of vegetables and truck, he
is so engrossed in what he considers the larger
affairs of rice fanning that he neglects this
and the tin cans strewn about the place speak
loudly of the fact that he is drawing bis sup-
plies from the canneries and packing houses,
instead of his fann. No, tin eans would attract
no especial attention in this section of country,
no matter how beautifully decorated they
'might be.
How it does send the red blood coursing
through 'the veins of a publisher and printer
to have a man who controls large enterprises
and whose stationery and supply bills amount
to a large sum every month..sav to him: “I am
fjlad to see you laboring so zealously for the
town,'and I assure you that all the printing we
have will go to you; all we ask is that you give
us good work and make the prices reasonable.”
Will he get good work, and will the prices be
right! Well, you’d better believe they will.
That sort of man makes it worth while for an
editor to toil and labor, for he knows that his
efforts are appreciated. And what a contrast
to the miserable, penurious way some people
have of saying, “Oh, I can send to Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, or Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and get
that job forty or fifty cents cheaper,” and if
you don’t meet the price away the order goes,

It sounded mighty good to the Houston job-

to make a big reduction in freight

The Denison Herald joins the procession and
says: “If the next legislature does nothing else
it should make ample provision for the care
of the insane of this slate, not only for the im-
mediate future, but for several years to come.
The confinement of these unfortunates in
county jails is an outrage and a disgrace to the
state and its people.” Thus, one by one, influ-
ential pajiers throughout the state join The
Leader in a movement to secure better accom-
modations for the insane who are now confined
in county jails. Let the good work go on.
The Houston Chronicle’s reporter at Austin
advised his paper that “bids were opened for
punishing the state printing for the next two
years,” the contract l>eing awarded to an Aus-
tin printing concern. We knew there were
some people in the business who “punished
printing all right, but hardly thought a paper
like the Chronicle would be bold enough to
speak right out in meetin’ and say so.
The Port Arthur News says “Editor Ford of
The Orange Header is evidently peeved,” and
we want to stop the procession right here long
enough to ask what in the world that means.
What sort of an ailment is “peeved”? For
gracious sake, somebody tell us quick and re-
lieve Our anxiety. We had an idea we were
string halted and spavined, and a dentist told
us yesterday we had the “tampers,” but to be
“l>eeved” is simply unbearable.
The slogan, “Port Arthur for Port Arthur,”
is very clearly exemplified by the News of that
place, which, though a Democratic paper and
laboring for the Democratic cause, is leaning
over as far as possible in an effort to boost the
Republican candidate for congress from this
district, who is a citizen of Port Arthur. And
lie’s a good man, too, but his chance for elec-
tion is decidedly poor.
Referring to a statement in the Lake Charles
Press that a Chinese laundry was located next
door to the office of the Allentown (Pa.) Call,
that paper very aptly remarks that this is emi-
nently proper, as the Good Book advises that
“cleanliness is next to Godliness.” It’s up to
the editor of the Call to be good.

The lowering clouds look ominous to the
farmer whose rice is ready to cut, but he
watches his opportunity and between showers
pushes the reapers to their utmost capacity and
up to tills time no particular damage has been
done to the rice in this country, the yield being
especially good. 7
