HOIST
CONVERT
Judge- Clark's Conversion Com-
pared With Governor Hogg's
ON THE COMMISSION QUEbTION
Clnrlt Accepted It When the People
Adopted II Hock Accepted It in
Tlmo to Itcup t'crciniiiiry mill Po-
litical llonclit l'liut in the inner-
unco. From tlialiarlln Mall.
Ileierenoe has been frequently mado
to tho fact that Judgo Clark is a re-
cent convert to tho commission idea.
There is no denying this faot. Two
years and a half ago Got. Hogg was
opposed to the commission. Tho rail-
road commission idea has been grow-
ing in Texas for five or Bis ytars ud
po: haps longor than that and at the
timo that tho commission idea
excited the first attention it was being
agitated in other states some of which
adopted amendments to their con-
stitutions or created a commission by
statute. Thoro is no doubt that the
demand for a commibsioti came largo-
ly from agricultural districts and the
farmers destrvo credit for forcing
tho adoption of the oommisjion
measure. Judgo Clark became con-
verted to tho oocomission idea after
the people of Texas had voted upon
the constitutional amendmont pro-
viding for tho same. lio thought
that thoro were good reasons why
tho commission was uot tho proper
way of reaching the evils of railroad
inpositions. Thero was at one timo
in Texas a largo majority of the peo-
plo who thought as he did but when
it was submitted to a voto it was
adopted and sinoe that timo Judgo
Clark has recognized the sovereignty
of tho people and has submitted to
their verdict He thinks like all
freo thinking men who as a rule do
not follow but lead the domain of
thought that a law affecting suoh
great interost cannot be made per-
fect in a short time that it is always
subject to correction and amend
ments and that it will probably bo
some years beforo it is a perfect law
and ho has seen fit to oritioiso it as a
statesman. The effoot of suoh criti-
cism ultimately will bo to bring those
very reforms that become necessary
in order to make a law perfect but
Governor Hogg was just as muoh
opposed to the commission two years
ai.d a ha'f ago as wab Judgo Clark
but he changed his opinions just in
time to reap a polit cal and pecuniary
benefit. Ho was not tho leader of the
commission idea. No man dares say
he was. He was the follower. Ho
followed the people. Judgo Clark at
the time did not seo fit to
follow the people. They had
not at that time expressed them-
selves at the polls. It was sim-
ply voices in tho air exprosBions in
tho newspapers rumors and the like
and being of that strong cast of mind
ho did not yield readily and waited
until tho constitutional bmendmont
was voted upon. Now which of these
two men should pose before the pub-
lic as a statesman and which of them
deserve tho most consideration and re
sped? The man who changed his
opinions in order to reap tho bonefit of
political proferment or the man who
liko General Loo upon his last battle
field in Virginia surrendered to over-
whelming numbers and accepted de-
feat graoefully and afterwards bo-
camo a worthy mombor of sooiety and
a typioal Araorioan citizen? Isthore
any roasonvfor ioubting tho sincerity
of Judge Clark's conversion any moro
than that of Governor Hogg? Judge
Clark has always boon able to sustain
his reputation at homo and abroad
for truth and veraoity and he has de-
clared that he favors tho commission
but with somo obanges that he thinks
would bo for tho better and he further
adds to the strength of his position by
acknowledging tho eoveroignty of the
people in tho exeroiso of thoir right to
eleot commissioners whilo Governor
Hoetr is advocating their appointmont.
There is very muoh more noiso mado
about the commission than there is
any neoossity for. It is a fixture
and will never be eliminated from
the laws of tho state unless after it
has beon thoroughly tested it should
prove to be a failure. Thero are
many things worthy of general con
sideration in connection with publio
affairs that should engage the attention
of thinking men. If it bo true that
tho commission is safe then the noxt
thing to look to is the many other
interests of tho state and to see if
Gov. Hogg's oarecr for tho last eigh-
teen months has been suoh as to give
oonfidenoe that he will in the future
be ablo to avoid the mistakes he has
already mado and to nnko reparation
for the evil he has already brought
npon tho state? It is far bettor to
trust tho executive department of tho
government to a man with nxnnrinnnn
and judgment; a man who has never
uuun acousca even by an enemy of
being a doinagorriie and who will as
far as his power cocb perform his
official acts without fear and with
that intelligence that study travel
and experience have given him.
A BANKER'S OPINION OF WACO.
Mr. F. N. Chick of the National
Bank of Kansas City Talks
of tho Central City.
One of the honored guests of the
Texas Bankers' Association during
its session in Waco was Mr. F. N.
Chick second vice-president of the
National Bank of Kansas City He
came to Waco at tho urgent solicita-
tion of the local bankers and expected
to return immediately after the ad
journment of the association He
however beoame so favorably im-
pressed with the small portion of Tex-
as he had seen that he decided to
make a tour of the Btate before re
turning home.
Last night before leaving for San
Antonio he told a News reporter that
he was very much pleased with Waco
and that she was evidently riesiiiind
to become tho leadincr town of the
state He also spoke very highly of
me policy ot paving the streets "(Jet
good streets" he said "and every
thing else will come in good time.
Tho ariesian weils also elicited a
Bplendid compliment. He said that
Waco evidently did nnt realize the
blensing she had in the wells. IIo
also spoke in very complimentary
of the treament the visitors by the
bankers of Waco.
Mr. Chick's opinion and kind com-
pliments are indeed verv gratifying
to the citizens. It is the desire of
evcrv citizens of the Central f!iiv for
the world at large to know of Waco
ana her advantages and to this end
the opinion the prominent visitor
will bo valuable indeed He repre-
sents one of the largest banking in-
stitutions in the west h?ving a capita
and surplus of nearly one and one-
half millions.
In a shor' time The Nkws will
publish a communication from the
gentleman giving his opinion of the
state as ho saw it in his tour. It will
be read with great interest by every
Texan.

A very large crowd attontled tho
races yesterday afternoon and wit-
nessed some very interesting and
spirited coctcutB.
Juo. Bakor olfioUted as stnrter and
every race was a lair one.
Tho first event was the froo-for-all
paoc half mile hoat best three in fivo
for $175 Thi brought to tho scratch
four of tho oraoks and tho bottint; was
lively on tho retult. Joif DaviB sold
first even with Don Q and the field
in which were Brant Arnold and Bob
Leonord's game little Dolly W.
It wis difficult to get a good start
on aooount of Brant Arnold going oil
his feet in scoring but thoy finally got
away with Jeff Davis at tho pole Ho
soon drow away nearly n longth from
Arnold whioh left Don third and Dolly
last. They maintained this position
all around the courec until tho home
strttoh wan retched when
a very exciting brush ooourred
between Jell Duyis and Biant Arnold
who was beaten by only a head. Tho
rebult was. Jiff Dais first Brant
Arnold Booond Don Q. third; Dolly
W fourth. Timo 1:11.
Tho second heat whs also very in-
teresting and it began to look like
Jeff was poing to have the purse. IIo
paced out first with Dolly second
Brant third aud Don fourth.
The third boat was moro intercBt-
inc still Jefi had two boats and
only wanted another nnd tho big
sorrol whom uveryonu wuh watching
bo keenly had never givon him a raoo.
It was a settled faot that unions
Don took the next throo boats that
Jetl had the race bb nono of tho
others could boat him. Brant Arnold
was lamo and lirownlcco wits per-
mitted to draw him. This loft throo
in the fight.
They gut awny woll bunched and
the raoo of the chy began. It was a
fight for blood Don Q and tho littlo
gray wero both doing their best.
Frank Hinchman almost lifted tho
littlo fellow otf tho ground and Mon-
roo pnshod tho big sorrel for all he
waB worth. On tho homo stretoh
the orowd wont wild. Jeff Davis had
the poll and as Dan began to flank
him on tho outsido Monroe olaimed
that Hinohman pullod out to koop
him off. But tho horses finished
about oven and tho heat was given
to Don the judges admitting the foul
whioh Monroe olaimed. Tho timo
was 1:114
Don Q won two moro heats and tho
raoe but ho never went after a gamer
littlo foo than Jeff Davis.
Tho second raoo was a threo min-
ute trot hall mile heats throo in fivo
and brought out Allie B. George G
Oeorgo W. and FricndlcBB.
There woro aovoral spirited oontosts
in this but Gorman's big bay was too
fast for tho others and'won the raoo
easily in throo straight boats Allie
B. taking the first heat.
Tho bicycle race come next and was
won easily by Parkor in 125 1-2.
Tho running raoo oroated a groat
deal of interest. It was won easily by
Lady Jaokson.
