is time for every last ciUaen of Texas
to hope that hl* administration for the

title him to a second term without op-

two-handed race. .And now that he has
won, it seems to us, we who supported
Ball should be content to wait and see
apd to give Mr. Ferguson a chance to

An opponent of the road bond
in the recent election asks our co-op-
eratipn in getting a’ law •whereby a
special district road tax-may be levied.
We are, of course, glad to co-operate.
The vote in thf recent election shows
that until there is a revolution In the
wnUrfi-Hl-hrrCabu>:l Triert-1r no Chance
to get a two-jjiiixte majority for bond*.
We think the bonds lhe better way.
but, that being unavailable, we shall
do what we ean for a special tax lavs
whereunder a district mAy vote a direct
tax for the coostruetion of permanent
roads, aud we want a dlrdcl tax that .Is
big enough to bo Worth something for
the roads. We want good toads,
we can't get them our way, war
Mlltog to giTFCHWF ft’IToVv's way, or

remarked before, we haw no selfish in-
