The other dav as we sat in our
humble and illy furnished sanc-
tum, with our feet cocked up on
a soap box, and vSmoking our af-
ter-dinner cob pipe and Big Bale
tobacco, this thought came whizz-
ing through our think tank:
"What will be the condition
of the world 25 years hence?"
And while sitting thus and
thinking of the great changes
that have taken place in the last
decade, we said to our self: The
wildest drear- .in not foretell
what is in si for the human
race twenty-tive years hence.
Telegraph wire, the motor car,
the aeroplane the steam engine
are only the stepping stones to a
greater civilization. They are
only the toys with which the
children of men have been ex-
perimenting. There are facul-
ties in the human brain which
have been slumbering there ever
since man came from the plastic
hand of the Creator. And some
day some daring innovator will
wake up these slumbering chil-
dren of the mind and man will
be master of himself and all mat-
ter will become his servant. As
yet man has been sailing along
the sea shore of human thought.
Not very far distant in the un-
explored realm of thought, an-
other Columbus, more daring
than all, will climb into the pilot
house of thought, and the anchor
of ignorance will be thrown to
the winds, and at last the mind
of man will be unshackled and
the crown of reason will rest up-
on his brow. As vet we have
just been digging around the
shoreless ocean of science.
One great scientist has said:
"What electricity will do in the
next 25 years staggers the im-
agination of man." Yes, twen-
ty-five years from now a man
will sit up in bed, touch a button
and in the twinkling of an eye the
bouse will be ablaze with electric
light, breakfast will besteaxning
on the dining room table, chairs
and guests will be wheeled into
the dining ntotn, with the aid of
an electric current. After break-
fast, the man ot the house will
enter the parlor with the ease and
leisure of a king, sit down and
touch another electric button,
and the coming master power of
the world—electricity, will slip a
lighted cigar into his mouth,
start the machinery on bis farm,
milk the cows and churn the
milk. After the lord of the
bouse has had bis after-breakfast
smoke, he will walk out on the
gallery and touch the spark plug
of bis bird motor, get astride the
steed and go sailing through
stellar space at the rate of a
thousand miles an hour. He
wit! dine in New York, take sup-
per in Liverpool, travel the cir«
CUinference of the earth in 24
hours, and get back home next
morning in time for breakfast.
Uow, we expect you will donbt
this statement and call it the
dream of a country editor. If
you do, cut this out and paste it
in yonr scrap book for future
reference. If the airship can go
at the rate of 150 mites an hour
in its crude shape now, why not
a thousand miles an hour when
perfected by the conning fingers
of science. This mysterious pow-
er of electricity will depopulate
the large cities. The future
habitation of man will be away
from the marts of trade. He
will reside away in the country
districts, and a trip of a thousand
miles to his business each morn-
ning will be of little consequence
to busy man. When 25 years
have sped by. the grafter in the
financial world, the trust mag-
nate and the political damagogue
will have been eliminated from
the stage of action. When that
day comes, the great problem
which has baffled the master
minds of the ages will have been
solved. Then labor and capital
will join hands across the chasm
of ignorance, and the equal dis-
tribution of wealth will be more
general. In the mine, factory
and railroad shops of the world,
labor will receive its just
compensation and participate
in the dividends. Techni-
calities will be shorn from the
courts and justice will be
meted out to the rich and poor
alike. State and national con-
stitutions will be amended, and
the dream of the ages will be
realized, The Equality or Man.
The sick man in Asia will get
well, and the crowned heads will
lose their sceptres of authority
and constitutional liberty will
cover the earth. Somewhere in
the bosom of nature God has im-
prisoned an antidote for every
disease, and in less than 25 years
the daring scientist will seek and
find serum that will cure cancer,
tuberculosis and other incurable
diseases that human flesh is heir
to. Tvve. . -'ive years from now
Asperns vill be the Chicago
of the soi' Tvest. yes her popula-
tion will be av.av up in the mill-
ions. Salt Fork of the Brazos riv-
er, Double Mountain Fork and
Stinking Creek will all be navi-
gable streams and great ship
loads of produce will float down
to the sea and through the Pana-
ma canal. Yes, Aspermont will
be the gateway to the Orient.
Land in Stonewaall countv will
be worth a thousand dollars an
acre and we will all be million-
aires.
Well, why don't yon move to
Stonewall countv, where you can
buy good land from 15 to 25 dol-
lars per acre. Where the alti-
tude is 2460 feet, have no chills,
no fevers and no boll weevil. Yes
come to Stone wall county where
the summers are cool and the
winters are of short duration and
very mild. Come out here where
prosperity and plentv will bless
your labors.
Come in and list your land with
the West Texas Land company.
They will find you a buyer.
