Texas will operate its refrigerators

TnE demand is growing for residences
Houses with five to eight rooms are
wanted by the score
Build houses This will not only swell
the population but provide work for la-
boring men Build houses
If Tarrant county wishes to raise money
to build good permanent roadways why
should statesmen of Dallas ana Grayson
counties deny it the privilege
To the people of Springtown Why
not cet up a 4th of July exoursion to
Fort Worth Or if that is too soon for
you come down in a body next October
Dirt is flying on the Fort Worth and

Greer occupying the editorial chair
Greeville Banner Sum Jones will
hold a meeting in Fort Worth after ho
gets through with the Tyler politicians
It will take him a good while to put
Hells Half Acre in a respectable
fate of cultivation but he will be brave
encugh to attempt almost anything if he
succeeds in Christianizing the political
hub
Some of the Republican papers are
boastful over Mr Harrisons chary use
of the veto power If the Congressional
Record is the old relinble it claims to
be there has not been much opportunity
for the exercise of the veto power
What with fixing arbitray rules and
ousting Democrats the passage of bills
has been in obeyauoe
The mayor of a growing city can do
much to advance or retard its progress
If he spends bis time seeking a reeleo
tion he can give no thought or attention
to the citys needs or welfare Fort
Worth should not be used as a political
foot ball by any man and needs public
spirit In its municipal government rather
than private ambition
The election of Mr Pendleton will ac-
celerate the growth of Fort Worth and
in that crowth every man whether seek-
ing investment or work has a direct in-
terest The result in April that will
strengthen confidence in Fort Worth and
attract capital will be to tho benefit of
every man In the oity And this Mr
Pendletons eleotion will do
Senator Calls revision of his tirade
against Chandler seems to be an enlarged
and intensified edition The senate has
given up time to the correction and the
predominating element has thrown up
Pharisaical hands at the enormity of pub-
lishing in the Record what wns not
spoken In the senate chamber That
onators should make the speeches In that
body and not In the Record is sound doc-
trine but tha zeal affected is that of new
converts Republican senators never did
no hardly ever sin in this particular
Superintendent Cooper was right
The children of the Tyler publio schools
should not have been marched in pro-
cession to the Sara Jones tabernaole
The pubtfo schools are sustained and
patronized by all the people and it was
manifestly an error for the Tyler super-
intendent to march the children of Catho-
lics and Hebrews to a Protestant revival
Tun investment of Fort Worth money in onr
town and in land adjoining it is a good omen
Wherever Fort Worth pluck and energy take
hold something is going to happen they make
things happen Throckmorton Times
Say rather they have invested in
Throckmorton because the boom is go-
ing your way Throckmorton is a com-
ing town and it may be a railroad
center
Baby McKee must be an infant terri-
ble The new fire alarms that have
lately been placed in tho White Houso
are in red boxes that have a ring dang-
ling at the end of a small chain Tho
young master tried it with his chubby
fingers and startled the lire department
of the capital In seven minutes four
nozzles were throwing muddy water
where there was no fire A lack of fire
is noticoaole in the Harrison regime
The press of the state unites in good words for
Mr C J Puckette of the Waco Day who leaves
to accept a position on the New Orleans Times
Democrat There was never a better editorial
writer in Texas never one more courteous or
with a broader grasp of the subjects he handled
His removal will prove a serious deprivation to
the Day which has earned an enviable position
among tho papers of the state largely through
his connection with it San Antonio Express
Of no one on the Texas press couid tho
Texas papers speak moro deservingly
than of Col Puckette Unassuming
faithful laborious and able ho was n

nection with The Gazette for a brief

achieve
OX THE HIGHWAY
Without argument it is admitted that
nothing is of more real advantage to a
city than good Btreets or that the want of
them is regarded as fatal to municipal
prosperity Iu like degree good roads
bespeak prosperity in the country and
more they brine business to those cities
to which they lpad Hence town and
country are alike Interested in road im-
provement The haphazard work that
too often characterizes the labor expend-
ed on dirt roads will never result in per-
manent improvement Ancient roads
still found in older countries wore the
work of skilled engineers and remain as
monuments to the wisdom of farsighted
rulers
The first requisite in road building is to
have a fund sufficient to pay for good
work Monarchs would levy on their
people but republican methods are of
necessity different A small accession of
tax to each individual would provide a
fund sufficient to pay competent men
who know how to construct roads and
span water courses and also to hire
labor to carry out their plans Road
working has been too much a mere mat-
ter of patching in tho fall and spring
and not the result of intelligent direction
aud supervision The whole system of
country roods like railrouds should be
under supervision and whether this
passes through district and county up to
a state supervision is a question to be
considered As it now is there are de-
partments under state surveillance that
are of less importance than is that of
wagon roads
Without good roads trade languishes
farmers are cut off from bases of supply
and agricultural products are debarred
from centers of trade The necessity is
too pateut to need argument The only
possible cause of discussiou must be that
of the ways and means best adapted to
attain scientific road building and open
up durable highways that shall be ar-
teries of trade
AX OFTTOLD TALE
It is sometimes urged in commenda-
tion of men of the past that they
builded better than they knew In
this kind of work there is none of the
virtue of foresight nor of Dresent wis-
dom that this building is good is sim
roanded it aud for this much the work-
ers are to be credited To build with
prophets ken and thus to anticipate a
want that has not yet dawned upon
duller clay is genius and to build keep-
ing pace with daily advancing demand
is the work of wise industry When tho
two last are combined the union results
in work beneficial m present time and
ready for future demand
It seems almost audacity to suggest to
a progressive people such as the citizens
of this town that they do not appreciate
all that is requisite to a citys com-
pleteness Where will you find a city so
young that has done so much and
which by electno lights aud railways
water and gas facilities exoelleut
driveways good pavements and sub-
stantial buildings bids fair to rival suc-
cessfully cities of a centurys growth
This is true but one + hlnj thou lack
est Where are the parks where the
gardens in which to rest from dingy
labor and dusty toll If Fort Worth is
to be the city that is promised now
is the time that tho question of
breathing space must bo settled As
early in the history of Boston as 1634 the
celebrated Common then only a
publio cow pasture was set apart as a
pleasure ground and by a clause in the
city charter made publio property that
cannot be sold or exchanged These
eurly fathers who gave fortyeight acres
S3 a place for recreation builded better

than they knew and gave to generationa
succeeding them the greatest gift possible
to a panting city life that was then
scarcely conceivable Better than this
into the dull prosaio life ot the toiler and
the money getter was infused a sense of
the utility of beauty and the sentiment
taking root has borne fruit in every city
and town in Now England
In JNew York the phlegmatic Hollander
smoked his meerschaum on the old Bat-
tery and dreamed of his old home inter-
laced with canals His liaxeuhaired
children played in the Bowery1 amid
shading treesj but finally trade with
advancing stride marched over these
green spots in the desert of buying and
selling The encroachment was permit-
ted and today New York suffers In the
health of her people because of grasping
avarice In 1850 A J Downing who
deserves a place in the saints calendar
commenced the agitation ot a largo pub
lio park and Central park comprisiug
862 aeres is the result a monument to
genius and wise appropriation
To minds that demand figures that
expect bonfits destined to show only in
United States currency it ia difficult
to make clear the wisdom that
converts building lota Into gardens tor
the people and substitutes productive
acreage with grand parks whose sole
products seem solely trees grass and
flowering plants but to the philanthrop-
ist and to the calculator of a broad mind
tho task is not difficult The one knows
the wooded resorts where rest is possible
to bo humanizers and the other that
these emerald spots are as jewels in gold-
en settings It is their presence which
gives increased values to all the vicinage
Go where you will it will always be
seen that hand some houses betokening
wealth are the settings that enclose these
pleasant places
Not for generalizations is thia article
written but to bring it home to the cit
zens of Fort Worth that now is the time
to build not better than they know
but as they know Now land is cheap
This is no idle assertion Compare
prices In any town the equivalent of this
ask men who have made investments in
other places and the assertion that land
is cheap in this city will gain confirma-
tion Then when land is cheap is the
time to arrange for parks aud publio
gardens and not to permit narrow
sighted greed to save the dollar today
that necessitates the spending of thou-
sands in a few years A plea for parks
ia not sentimentalism neither is it pre-
mature The experience of other cities
warns us to prepare now for what In the
future will be inevitable and whatever
argument is used to enforce the matter
primarily stands that of necessity and
sound municipal policy

the favorite of thousands of tho beat citizens of
Texas and had he been regularly before the
people as it is learned he will be as a candi-
date many who have pronounced for others
would have been for him As it is when he en-

Other counties will be represented there
Wilon is as good as any and better than

DELTA AND HOPKINS
Will Delta county have an exhibit at the
Spring Palace this year The secret of success
is in advertising judiciously and to our mind
there are few things if any that would pav us
better individually and collectively than an ad
vertiseraentof this klnd Delta Banner
Every county east of the Texas Central
railroad should make a strong effort to
place before the world at the Spring Pal-
ace an exhibit of its resources There is
not a single county in this section of the
state but that would astonish tho world
if its resources were properly displayed
Where all could see them and compare
them with those of other sections East
Texas has never been advertised as has
been the West and will neyer grow in
population and wealth until she lets the
world know exactly what her resources
are Sulphur Springs Enterprise
WHAT WILL THROCKMORTON DO
What are our people going to do
about it Our lands our resources and
the possibilities for a grand development
are as good as any county in North-
west Texas possesses and that Is say-
ing a good deal but they have never
been made known to the outside world
as those of other counties have hence
we ure falling behind in development
Bring the seekers after homes and in-
vestments here and wu have uotbmg to
fear from competition of other sections
Seeing is believing and when they see
our furstretching aud fertile prairies
and beautiful valleys and learn they
can buy homes on them at 25 to 50 per-
cent cheaper than iu the muchadver
tised counties we will capture them

THE QUESTION OF THE DAY
Tax for better roads It is the only
way they can be obtained Troy Enter-
prise
Good roads brinjr a thrifty immigra-
tion into the county build up towus
schools aud churches Grapevine Poat
Good dirt roads to all the settlements
around Colton will be excellent invest-
ments Wagon roads are the pathways
of local trade Colton Chronicle
Good dirt roads are a publio necessity
and money expended on them will save
the wear of wagons Mauy good horses
aud mules aro anuually killed There ia
no advertisement that speaks better for
a country than cood roads We say
good roads first last aud all the time
Tunpsou Times
The only way to obtain permanent
oouuty roads iu our opinion Is to con-
demn the laud pay tho owner well for
it aud there will bo no contention for it
afterwards Laud is condemned for
railroad purposes then why not for
county purposes The road question will
never be settled permanently in Texas
any other way Bosque Eagle
The question of county roads is of im-
portant touoeru to every citizen in the
county and if the legislature will not
take it under consideration why let the
commissioners court take it in hand
Tbedemaudts Better roads and fewer
in number Over the roads of a county
is carried all the yearlv products and
besides good couuty roads are indices of
a countrys prosperity Pulesliue Ad-
vocate
Terrell should have more and better
roads but she never oau get them when
merchants subscribe the pitiful sum of
twentyfive cents Come this will never
do Why not give as liberally as others
Good roads is all that Terrell wants nt
present When tho cotton season rolls
around we will want the fleecy staple and
we will receive it too from all over the
county provided we have good roads
Give us your support busiuess men
Terrell Register
The leading question now before the
public aud the press in Texas is u now
road law and bow to get better roads
There is but one right way to do it and
in doing it another hard question will be
disposed of at the suine time Every-
man in the state between the ages of
eighteen nnd fortyfive is now required
to work five davs in each year or pay 5
The solution of the matter is to work the
roads with the penitentiary convicts by
which all this time or money will ho
saved to the people and the convict
labor will come in no contact with free
labor which can be accomplished in no
other way Jefferson Jimplicute
Among the many problems that are
agitating the mind of the public at pres-
ent is that of good publio roads It is
evident that a bill will be submitted at
the next legislature and in view of this
fact the subject should be discussed
thoroughly iu order that an intelligent
Idea may be arrived at in regard to the
modus operandi Every ono Is interested
in good roads and we hope to hear from
our couuty people on this matter The
present system of roadworking is a
farce The roadwbrkiujr day is looked
upon as a day of rest aud it is generally
so treated This slackness on the part
of the overseer Is unaccountable uuless
