The first meeting of the Palestine

be held in the Board rooms on next

like to see this meeting reflect the in-

p f rHeed There is life in the old land
yet and the outpouring of representa-
tive men of Dallas yesterday after-
noon made the blood thrill in the
veins of the builder and the cockles
warm in the heart of the man who
loves his city and has a pardonable
pride in all its enterprises
It was a Do It Now assemblage
of men with red blood in their veins
and love of city and state in their
hearts not a meeting of knockers or-
an owllike gathering o General
Apathy and his Rip Van Winkle lieu-
tenants and followers It was the
largest and most representative gath-
ering of Dallas builders held in years
Bankers mechanics manufacturers
artisans merchants professional men
publishers and railroad men and ed-
itors and promoters all were there
and all were aflame with the spirit of
unity and the Do It Now gospel of
progress
It reminded an onlooker of the old
days of Dallas when the builders to

a man put their shoulders to the
wheel at a moments notice and an
injury to one was the concern of all
And the keynote was sounded by
that valiant builder Commodore S
f
W S Duncan who began to battle
for Dallas forty years ago and who
is as vigorous and as virile and as re-
sourceful todajf as he was when Dal-
las was a village And Tom Field
another pioneer who believes in live
men and big enterprises was there
as vigilant as a Siouxwarrior on the
warpath and as stoic as a captive
condemned to the stake
Old men for counsel young men
for war
Do It Now was the keynote sound
ed and the platform submitted by
Commodore Duncan touched the pop-
ular chord His speech rang the bell
Then came that peerless orator and
patriotic Texan Yancey Lewis He
had a message and he delivered it
It was a magnificent New Year s day
sermon as well as a message and his
eloquent excoriation of the Knocker
family set his hearers wild He
pointed the way in the middle of the
road No blazed trail awaits the
marchers
Colonel W G Sterret that veteran
journalist and pioneer citizen told
his hearers a few things plain truths
without varnish submitted a column
of facts and indulged in a few proph-
ecies
Royal A Ferris Texan to the core
and ever on the firing line felicitated
his fellowworkers in the vineyard of
Dallas on the size of the audience
the spirit of the occasion and the en
thusiasm of the builders assembled to
adopt a plan of campaign for the up
building and advancement of city
and state His remarks were meaty

It was a quiet reminder to General
Apathy and General Knocker that
General Builder is in the saddle and
will keep his headquarters in the
saddle throughout the year 1909

STATE
IRON INDUSTRY
SUME
TO RE
Governor Campbell has recently
given positive assurance that the
state iron industry at Rusk which
formerly gave employment to from
300 to 500 state convicts would be
reopened and work resumed as soon
as the state railroad has been com-
pleted to Palestine which will be
about the middle of March The rea-
son for the delay is supposed to be
the fact that the thirtyodd mile haul
on coke and fuel inbound for the fur-
naces and the pig iron and water pipe
outbound would mean a division of
the through rate to the state rail
road that would considerably increase
the revenue to the state and even
more so reduce the former heavy out
lays in freight rates and switching
charges By the construction of the
state railroad the fatate will secure
the advantage of competition for the
inbound and outbound tonnage be-
tween two railroads the International
and Great Northern and St Loui
Southwestern which would give the
maximum amount of divisions on all
shipments At present the St LouiF
Southwestern has a monopoly of the
business and no division is paid be-
cause Rusk is a local station Texas

message will show his intention to

to be imbued with the idea that a

opinion that it is the duty of the of

Editor Ousley of the Fort Worth
Record who is in Georgia studying
the effect of state prohibition is evi-
dently disappointing the antis who ex-
pected him to make out a good case
for them Ousley writes what ap-
pears to be the very fairest report
possible of conditions as he finds
them His last letter was on Macon
and he makes a good showing for the
effect of prohibition He says the
people of that city are in sympathy
with prohibition and therefore the
law is reasonably well enforced
