spread his arms out for protection. He was
horrified to feel himself immediately lifted in
the air, and, hanging on for dear life, he found
he was on the back of a big oow, and the anima

off onto a soft spot in the road and continuei

NEW COMPLICATION.
A new ruling of-the railroad commission has
excited anew the rivalry between Galveston and
Houston with a third contestant in the field.
That strenuous youngster, Port Bolivar, Halves
ton’s new sub-port across the bay. »e Chambers
county, is smashing previper conditions and old
established schedules'. Her progressive back-
ers went to Austin and got a rate equal to
Houston’s yater or port rate, for instance, 49e
K^-tSTTsrttoft,'as against Galveston’s 55c. The dif-
* ferencft bptwppn tha rafnu

w-
ference between the two rates has been the much
discussed and much fought over Galveston 6c
differential—the 6c being the cost of barging
the cotton down the bayou to Galveston.
But here is the way the extension of the
Houston rate to Port Bolivar affects Houston:
While it costs 6c to barge cotton from Hous-
ton to Galveston wharves, it only costs 2c to
barge it from Port Bolivar to Galveston
wharves. So cotton from Sherman over the H.
& T. C., from Ballinger on the Santa Fe, or
from Longview over the I. & G. N.f and S. P., to
Port Bolivar through Galveston for 49c is
barged back to Galveston for 2c, making 51c,
as against the old rate of 55c direct to Galves-
ton wharf, or 49c to Houston and 6c by barge
to Galveston—a saving to the shipper of 4c per
100, and a loss to the railroad of 4c per 100
over the old established rate.
The railway commission has so far insisted
that Port Bolivar should have the same rate
and equal rights with Houston. But the Bayou
City is vigorously contending that it is both
unjust to Houston and the transportation com-
panies, and upon another vigorous appeal from
Houston, the railroad commission has agreed
tott hearing of the controversy on July 13.
If the order stands as it now is, it will nearly
wipe Houston off the cotton map; unless Hous-
ton barges will compete with Port Bolivar’s 2<
rate to Galveston. Even in that event, the rate
will continue to be a disturbing factor, as it puts
Galveston, the seaport, at a disadvantage.
A MODEL FARM.
John W, Gates’ “Model Farm,’’' on North
Procter, starts business Friday morning, sup-
plying the retail trade in the city with milk
cream, butter, ice cream, and barn yard eggs.
Port Arthur News.
Shakespeare told us years ago
Of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream’
Now John Gates’ Port Arthur farm
Supplies us with ice cream.
He has milk and cream to spare
And chickens with yellow- legs,
And from the latter w-e are told
lie gets fine barn yard eggs.
His vegetables are the very best,
(We got this dope from Stump)
And if with Port Arthur we’d keep pace
We’ll simply have to hump.
ODE TO THE TOWN COW.
The town cow goeth forth at night
Eating where she will,
And of costly shrubs and flowers
She is sure to get her fill.
She pauses not at hook or latch,
But at ropes sometimes she cringes,
And if it is too strong for her,
Why then she breaks the hinges.
The open lot she cares naught for
This meek and lowly kine;
But the thing that she likes best-
A yard of flowers fine.
A NARROW’ ESCAPE.
Editor Stump, of the Port Arthur News, has
formulated a new Declaration of Independence,
all his own, and a few days ago gave notice
that he would no longer he bound by party ties,
but proposed to he a free lance in polities. It
seems, though, that he had not stopped to re
fleet that this action made it impossible for
him to ever hold a political office of any im
portanee. His action was hasty and already Ik
is beginning to regret it and to long for the
“flesh pots of Egypt.” Stump says:
“We are of the opinion that our declaration
of independence from any party lines came just
in time to prevent Ford from nominating and
electing us to the state legislature. As no one
can be elected who is not regularly nominated
on the democratic ticket in this district, we are
now out of danger, and therefore in a position
to admit that the proposition bad its attractive
side, at least as regards the opportunity for -e
enring the enactment of a better libel law. We
wouldn’t mind being a legislator for one term
pt? but not one restricted by party lines or party
platform pledges. However, as there is no
probability or possibility of the district’s elect-
ing a candidate not regularly nominated in
party primary, we can only grieve over what
might have been, and plume ourselves over
what an all-fired good legislator we would have
been—if we had not preferred indefiendence.”
Beaumont has already subscribed twenty-five
thousand dollars to the stock of n company to
erect a pulp mill there to make pulp from rice
Jraw and has promised as much more. Now,
the promoters come across with their fifty
thousand our sister city on the Neches will
stand a pretty good show to secure a pulp mill
md get in line on the paper making industry,
though a hundred thousand dollars won’t go
ar in building, equipping and operating a paper
mill.
Pretty good evidence as to whether a man
is a good citizen or not are his actions when
moving into a new community. If one of the
lirst tilings he does is to enroll his name as
subscriber to the local paper, you can count on
him being progressive, at least, as he thus
evinces a desire to keep floated on what is going
on in his new home and to become identifiec
with the place as a sure enough citizen.
SOME PLAIN TALK.
Have you said a good word for Orange today
Have you mentioned in a letter to vour friend in
another state the fact that Orange offers ex
eeptional opportunities to the wide-awake, pro-
gressive man who is seeking a new location?
Have you done anything calculated to make
Orange better known and better appreciated?
If you have tailed in this, von have failed
your duty as a good citizen.
The report of the auditing committee to the
city council called attention to the fact that
eighty-five dollars dog taxes had been collected
in eighteen months in Orange. The committee
reminds the council that there must be at leas/
two thousand dogs running at large in Orange
and they ask the pertinent question, “Why the
discrepancy between the number of dogs and
the amount of tax paid?”

aaid a well known man to the Leader editor
yesterday. “I don’t need more than forty dol-
lars a month with which to support my family,
and I have no trouble making that much and
more. There are five of ns, but our grocery
bill is seldom more than twelve to fourteen dol-
per month and we have an abundance to

he said: “We have a fine garden, with
every month in the year, a cow that

so that we are never without eggs.”

Through the individual
owners along those thoroughfares work is now
in progress on Pine street. Sixth street and Sev-
enth streets, the streets being nicely graded,
drained and put in first class condition. It is
quite probable that property owners on Fourth
street will also make an effort, to have that
street improved at an early date.
I ncle Ben Stephens is giving ’em some
mighty straight talk through the paper about
the enforcement of certain laws and regulations.
He evidently means business, too. It will be
real refreshing to actually see a few of the dty
ordinances enforced, just to let the people know
that there is a city statute book in existence.

(Bonham News,)
The following article from the pen
of the editor of the Comanche Chief
is pretty plain talk, but it is very true,
and it ought to be Helpful and health-
ful reading for a lot of mothers who
permit their daughters to so dress
as to make a show of their physical
charms to all eyes that may be met.
Not only do young women, who per-
haps may be partially ignorant of the
effect of such displays, but many old
er women, who know quite well what
they will be, follow the dictates of
fashion and clothe their bodies in
garments thin as gossamer and punch
ed full of holes large enough for
butterflies to go through.
" It is all very well for a woman
to deplore certain low standards that
prevail today among young men. But
one important point that mothers and
daughters who very often most
loudly bewail the fact must lose sight
of—they can never hope to improve
the morals of men as long as they
allow their girls to affect the all-too-
transparent waists and blouses that
are so generally worn, especially in
the summer season. A man is a man,
I care not of how fine a grain he
may be And it is not a whit helpful
to a young man in his growing years,
in keeping his mind and thoughts
clean and straightforward, to have
thrust upon his notice on every hand
such a style of feminine dress. De-
cent young fellows complain bitterly
of this tendency on the part of girls
and the apparent indifference of
mothers. And they are right. There
is unquestionably something to be
said on the side of the young man
who wonders at the spirit ot motive
which prompts young women in per-
sistently wearing a style of dress like
the transparent waist, toward which
there is such an increasing tendency
One fact is absolute: no girl has a
right to resent license or liberty from
the other sex which her very dress
implies or invites. A filmy lace
waist, with a low-cut corset-cover,
makes a mighty poor moral uplift
The wonder to men is that women
who are chaste can get their consent
to rig themselves in a style so sug-
gestive as some of them do Some
young gills and some older women
walk the streets of Bonham, and oth-
tottiis, wearing peek-a-boo waists
other garments that reveal the
pink skin beneath, while breasts un-
restrained except by a girdle, show
their contour and undulate with every
step made What can induce them to
do this, unless it be a desire to have
their male friends see for themselves
the physical charms they possess?
And why should they be surprised
that young men are tempted to wrong-
doing by such exhibitions?.
If this talk is shocking to any
woman, let her please remember that
speak truthfully of these things
certainly cannot be any worse than
the things spoken of. It is folly lor
mothers to preach purity of heart and
life to young men, and then permit
their daughters to offer, consciously
or unconsciously, a continual sug-
gestion and temptation for them to
become impure.
It is useless to misapply that
scripture quotation so often mis-ap-
plied that “To the pure all things
are pure,” as a justification for such
displays and as a condemnation of
those w ho do not sanction them, for
every man and woman who isn't
fool knows that even the pure can
be made impure, and that the best of
men and women sometimes go down
before strong temptation
It may be pleasing enough in
sensual way for maid or matron to
so clothe herself as to half reveal
those beauties of figure and form
that nature has blessed her with, but
it it 'not conducive of modesty in her-
self or purity of thought in other*
ff it be that it is done at the behest
of fashion only, then il i* folly in
deed Rtg^t thinking, clean-living,
pure-minded men do not admire such
things, for they know the dangerous
emotions they arouse and the evil
tendencies they encourage Mothers
know it, too Why are they not all
courageous enough to frown down
such things, instead of bowing before
Dame Fashion’s behest?
Crrtain it is that young men will
be impure as long as young women
are immodest in dress or actiop
