in which Sherman it located, and of
which it it the county teat,' it able to
tapport, and which its real merits jus-
tify and almott demand. Our farmers
can aid in the building of-this 4©

on their lands, and especially in
electing men to office who are got
afraid to put improvement! in that

a few cbronio kickers, and the people
may gnll into listening to them.
This hat been done and we
feel thankful for the knowledge
that Grayson county's commissioners
are men of nerve and stamina.
Oity property it being improved and
vacant lots arfe being constantly filled
with new houses,, and til of this be
tokens progress, but there is another
thing we must look after, and that is
our manufacturing interests. We are
looated in the very heart of the straw
regioD, and material is in hand at
every point to maintain and keep in
operation a half donen manilla paper
mills, and while this subject has
always received an attentive
■hearing from our people, the objec-
tion to starting it has been on account
of water, but now, that there is a
chance to get an unlimited supply of
water, this objection can no longer be
raised, and the Eeoistkr trusts that
the Improvement Company will give
this matter a careful consideration
when on the subject of manufactories.
The fruit farms wb:ob dot tbe
entire distance between tbe cities
of Sherman and Den'son vrll
maintain a first-class canning factory
at Shermaa, which, on account of its
superior shipping facilities is a much
butter point than Denison. The
amount of canned goods consumed in
Collin, Fannin, Cooke and Grayson
counties it more than enough to sus-
tain the largest factory tbnt capital
could be induced to erect here, and
it is to be trusted that when factories
are talked of it will not
I forgotten. That jute of which all
of our cotton bagging is. made,
can be raised in North Texas, uud es
serially around Sherman, has been
demonstrated satisfactorily, and there
it nothing to hinder tbe establish-
ment of a factory for working np this
material. There ift perhaps no article
of merchandise more staple, or in the
making of which more unskilled labor
can bo utilized, and that is what is
needed to keop the grout masses from
suffering, because a man without a
trado or profession is entirely depend
ent upon manual labor of soino kind.
On the 4th of May next the Stai.3
Cotton Congress will convene in the
city of Wcco, and Sherman will have
representative from this (Grayson)
county there. It will be the object of
this congress to look to the location

Tax removal of taxation from home

more to dicoourago tenant population
than anything else. It íb a well
known fact however that Sherman
bat fewer tenants, in proportion to its
population, than any city in tbo whole
state. Wo are not opponod to men
renting their houses if thoy can, we
limply want to see every citizen of
Sherman own h¡8 home, and would
like for the State to encourage him
in doing so.

LAE0F.ERS AMD CAPITALIST'S-
Whore every rann has tbe same
privilege to become a capitalist, al
though in some cases there may be
for somo a better opportunity foi
others,* there is no just reason for
prejudice. A very large number of
nen, who at forty aro termed capital
ists, had no better opportunities at
twenty to be come capitalists or em
ployers than a large per cent, of those
who bavo failed. A feeling of nntnj;
onisin, in very many casos boril of
envy, is engendered aud kept up¡
that at least bodos no good to either
It is indisputably the fact that very
many achieve success simply fiy put
tiug forth their best energies; they do
the very best they can at all times,
aud under all circumstuncos, and bo
cause of this and with economy and
management, thoy succood. Otbors
with fully as'good opportunities lack
the energy, tbo willingness to do the
best they can to mauoge and econo
mizo uutil u good start is secured, fail,
aril itfstoud of laying tbo blame upon
themselves where it rightly belougs,
make tho mishke of laving the blame
upon those who have been more suc-
cessful. ■ • ■ /•:•
Perfect equality in all things is an

seemingly impassable gulf that has

MAKE THIHGS EQUAL.
A distinguished economist says;
"A. man's first duties are to bis family
and himself. The State should not
make those primary duties more
difficult by taxing any of tbe neces
saries of life,- The necessity for the
major portion of the enormous reve-
nue needed by government arises
fro$ vice and folly in their various
forms. Ttte cause of taxation should
bear the burden of taxation. All
publio revenues shonld be drawn
from indirect taxes upon conduct and
conditions more or less inimical to
the general welfare. Luxuries, vices,
follies, excessive wealth and all con-
duct, either of citizeus or foreigners,
wbic|) tends to generate evil and
injustice, should bo ta*ed as far as
practicable. Such a system of taxa-
tion would necessarily have a a cor
relative effect, viz: the encourage-
ment of virtuous acts by freeing them
from P<#P burdens.
Instead of a policy which would
mako it impossible for any iudividua 1
to ever become the. absolute owner of
a bompatottd—that would make man
kind more namodic aqd lesaen their
interest in and affection for their
homes—the State should encourage
ovory man to get a piece of ground
and a home ot his own. To this end,
,a!l homofatoads j:o ft limited amount
of value, BhouUl bo exempt both iron}
-taxation and from attachment for
dobt. The tendency of such a mous
ure would bo silently to prevent and
cure tjje evil of a monopoly of laud
by a comparatively t¡ovy( as well as
''je evil of a tenant population with
little interest in tho soil upon which
their to;! nnd lives are spent.
Complaints are mado from various
si ;tions of a band of bilking powder
tramps whose tricks upuu uususpfjt
ing housekeepers seam to partake
vory much of the nature of confidence
operations. The band is conmosed
of women, although employed and
directed by an agent of the other sex,
and their methods of pn edure, as
explained by several ladies who have
beuij victimized, is ss follows: Ob
tainiug aiicesB to the ki* )hen, they in
'.roduce the subject of baking p.nvderi
inquiring the kiud used in the family.
Being shown the can, perhnpB a fresh,
full ouo, thoy volunteer to "lest" it to
ascertain its cjuulitios. Their "test"
oonsists iu ph'Vng the cari on a hot
stove or ovor a lamp or gas jot, or in
mix:,ig the baking powder wilh wator
both hot and cold. If tho baking
powder is good for an 'thing tho heat
will, of course, onpel tne gas, which,
being ummoniacal or carbonic, is ap-
parent to tho souse of tho Binell. Tho
claim is then madó that this odor in
dicat(-B something detrimental, al
though, as a matter of fact, a baking
powder that would give off no gas
when subjected to heat would be
without leavening power and value
less. They will also mix tho baking
powder given them with water. If
pure it elforve ces quickly. The bak-
ing powder they peddle being simi
larly mixed foams up slowly liko
yeast, standing, perhaps, ovor tbo top
>f the glass. This thoy claim as evi
denco of superiority, whereas it íb the
exhibition of a trick only, th,eir bak
ng powder having boon specially pro
pared to make this tost by tho addi
tion of 11 mr, gum or albumen. It is
Hi're evidence of adulteration. Of
course tho object -of those fraudulent
tricks is to destroy confidence in all
>tber kinds of baking powder, and t
sell the particular brand for which
tbe women a -e traveling.
Were this tbo' whole of tbo opera
tiou, house kecpors would not often
bo deceived. Every intelligent person
known that baking powder in not mado
to bo used in tbiw way, but in cooking
where its action is entirely different
from that produced by dry beat or
by mixture with wator alone. The
chief object of this jugglery is to de
stroy tbo baking powder given fo
'.eBtiug; or by heating it to drive off
its leavening gases, and so weaken it
that when UHcd it will fail to work. At
the ne.^t baking there is heavy fviod
of course, and the "tramp" probably
gets tbe credit of having told th
house keeper a valuable fact, instead
of having «poiled her bakfug powder
as was actually tho caso. Tbe average
"tramp" will, iu this way, destroy
from fifty to seventy fivo pounds of
