Houston proposes to do herself proud and
excel all previous recordsin her grand No-Tsu-
Oh carnival this year, which will open in that
city on next Monday. TP bis great carnival has
become more than a Houston affair and is one
in which all Texas feels an interest and in
which all Texas takes a part.

Parker, Bryan, Watson, Hearst; Taggart and
Belmont have all told how it happened, but
nothing has yet bee'n ^heard from], Wooltert'e
Roost, as to the reason for the terrible defeat
of the democratic presidential ticket in the re -
cent election. David B. Hill probably feels
something like the bov the. calf ran over.
There are some imperfections i a the. J Terrell
election law that should be .remedied, but, |óú
the whole, it has (satisfactorily attained the
principal 'object of its author, that of securing
a pure ballot and peaceful elections. It comes
about as near providing á pure ballot as will
ever be accomplished in this or any other coun
try, : i v-':'
A furniture factory, with contracts already
assured-that will guarntee a profit of twenty
per cent on its capital, is one [óf the industries
that is knocking tor admission at the {doors fof
Orange. The proposition |s under consideration
by the Progressive League and if {there is real
merit to it, a determined effort will be made to
land.the, factory tor Orange.

Sentaor Bailey's name isjjagain being men-
tioned as the man to head the democratic ticket
in 1908. Well, there is one thing sure, ;Bailey
would carry the solid'south, ¡without a doubt,
and that is something Parker failed to «do. 1 (JIt
looks now as if it will be Bailey or Bryan in the
next campaign, but the republicans will Shave
seek another Moses, as President Roosevelt
ha* alreadyannounced,.that he will [not again
be a candidate.
„• One ot the first announcements made by the
press after the election excitement had subsided
and the congratulations to President Roosevelt
had ceased was that Booker T. Washington,
Jr., had filed an application with the president
for an a ppointment as paymaster in the United
States army and that the application had been
endorsed by Booker T. Washington, Sr. When'
one looks at this matter in a calm, dispassion-
ate way, it would seeqi hardly possible, (that.
Such.application would receive more than pass-
ing attention in the Executive mátísion, but, on
the other hand, when one remembers the ¿vow-
ed policy of the president and his erratic actions
whenj left to his own devices, Qne begins Oto
wonder what the outcome of it all is to be. The
first thought is that Booker Washington,
despite bis. education and his good, common
sense, cannot overcome the natural tendencies
of hiá race, and tfie adulation hejhas received
and the marked attention shown him by Presi-
dent Roosevelt has turned his head and brought
the*real negro in him to the surface and he longs
foe. place and potfer. To see his son appointed
á paymaster in the army, where be Would
associate on terms.ot equality with white Offi-
cers ot similar rank, and where he would be in
position to dictate to white clerés and lord fit
over "po' white trash" solders, is a vision that,
doubtless, seems sweet to Booker T. and his
endorsement oí the application would {indicate
that he believes that the president's] receiving
him as an equal and entertaining hind in bis
home is proof that a request from him would
readily be granted,.even though it wasjQas im-
portant as this of appointing his son to Ía~higlí
position in the army. The people of tjje south
have cause enough now to revile the (president,
whom the natural tendente is -to rerere on
account of his position, but should*he insult the
flower ot southern íúanhood in the army by set-
ting over them this upstart negro as a paymas-'
ter, he would forever kill any lingering feeling
of respect that might remain m the hearts of .
southern men, and he_ would become personally
responsible for.disseñsion and dissatisfaction in
the ranks and possibly for very serious ¿trouble.
We have beeh told that Roosevelt is really a
man of good sense and judgment. .. Let us hope
that he will display it in' this instancejby
promptly turning down tbé application and ad-
vising Booker T. Washing, Jr., to followf the
more peaceful pursuits taught by his father|to
the pupils of Tuskcogee.
The rice farmers of Orange county have cause
to be thantfuí for one thing this year and that
is that they havevgood roads over which to haul
their'rice in to the mill. This is an important
item and one that has added considerably to
the profits of the men engaged in hauling rice,
as it has enabled them to haul heavier loads and
make more "of them in a day. 'X;
. = ' •'
The tin bucket brigade will be largely aug-
mented in Orange when, the paper mill resumes
operations and when work begins at thebig
shipyard, both of which are to occur itr the ver
near future. And it is this tin bucket brigade
that is the bone and sinew -of any community
and that has always kept Orange in the front
v ranks of tl^g Substantial business towns of the
country.
The people ot Orange should not allow the
interest to decline in the Progressive League,
but, rather, should infuse new life into.\$he,
organization and keep it 'in active operation.
This organization has been and will- continue to
be a power for .good tor Orange and Orange
county. Tjje Leader would suggest that some
live, local man, who is thoroughly conversant
with the resources, as well as the needs {of
Orange and Oránge county, be made secretary
ot the organization and that the good work that
has heen started be kept up. The country has
successfully pkssed through 'the crisis and
everything from now on should improve, and
Orange shpuld, be in position to take care of
any first class industrial proposition that might
^ffer. By all means, keep up the League and
l€¡Kthe good work go on.
With vesselB swinging idly in their moorings
at Sabine Pass Waiting for cargo, and the lum-
ber for which they wait on barges stuck high
and dry in the mud on Blue Buck bar, - only a
few short miles away, while lay days are rap-
idly expiring and 'demurrage charges scaring
the charterers in the face, the great need for a
deep water channel through Sabine lake is fully
and amply demonstrated. Orange should not
falter in the work, but should make every effort
possible to push the work along of securing this
much desired channel. ' ~

With her five big saw milling plants running
on full time, and some extra time, "witji two
hundred high priced laborers employed in build-
ing the big dry dock, with one hundred and
twenty-five men employed in the paper mill,
with the rice fields and irrigating canals calling
for a great number of men, there will be no
lack ot employment for labor in Orange for the
next year and prospects are very encouraging
for a busy and prosperous season. - You can't
keep a good town down, and Orange is one of
the very best.
With án opera house that will accomodate
almost ahy\,theatrical company touring the
country and that would be a credit to any city,
there is no reasoñ why Orange should not have
the very best attractions on the road, and it is
to be hoped that next éeason will see a much
better class [of attractions booked than has
been possible this season. Qn a&ount ot the
impossibility of stating just when the theater
would be opened it was impossible this season
to book manv of the best attraction^ and 'the
management has had to do the best it could in
making bookings for this season, but tbiswill
not be the case nex\ year and we may exj
then to see as high & class of attractions in Qr-
ange as visit the larger cities ot the state.
The men of Orange who are at the head of
the Progressive League and of every progres-
sive. movement looking to the advancement of
the city, have very wisely determined that here
after promoters who have propositions to offer
for the location of factories if the local people
will put up the money will be given the í'frozen
face, and efforts will be made to attract inves-
tors who have money to put into new enter-
prises where conditions are favorable. To such
men every facilityjwill be offered and all reason-
able assistance given, but Orange

schemers..

A Case of Mental Telepathy.
A peculiar incident occured in
connection with the accident
that resulted in the death of 01.
Holden last Tuesday that would
seem to prove the existence and
efficacy of mental telepathy. At
seven o'clock Dr. S. W. Sbolars
"was standing in front ot his
fireplace at bóme and thinking
about matters connected with
íe rice farm and particularly ot
je threshing operations, when a
m ""-flash before his
eyes of a man crushed under the
machinery. His mind was dis-
tracted from the subject just
then by something else, but at
7:80 the telephone bell rang and,
answering it, the doctor was ad-
vised that his presence was
needed at the farm immediately,
that Holden Had been Crushed
by, the , traction engine. In-
quiry developed the fact that
the accident occurred at seven
o'clock, just at the time that the
vision flashed across the mind
of the doc tor. This would seem
to be a peculiar coincidence, if
no more. ■ ■ / <■ J

tion oí their friends this week
over the safe arrival at their

A Saw Mill Accident
Yesterday morning just before
noon, Chailey Henderson, a
70ung white man employed' at
he lower mill of the Lutcber &
doore Lumber company, sus-
tained very serious injuries by
lis left hand coming in contact
with a button saw. He was en-
gaged in sawing cleats and in
order to shield himself from the
flying sawdust started to nail a
board up in front of the saw. |n
doing so, his; band slipped and
struck against the saw and was
lerribly mangled. He was given
immediate , surgical attention
and probably will not lose any
of his fingers, though it was a
very close call, indeed.

Here are some of the points
about4 The Jewel of Asia," soon
to be heard in this' City, to
Which Manager John P*. Slocum
desires to call especial aitteh-
tion.
ft is one ot three attractions
which have ever successfully in-
terrupted their runs at Broad-.
way playhouses and moved to
another theatre .without suffer-
ing from loss of business.
"Plorodora" and Maxine glliott
in "Her Own Way" are the other
two. ''The Jewel of Asia" after
playing four months at the
Criterion Theatre was forced to
leave by reason of previous con-
tracts for the house, and a dar-
ing «Management transferred itf
to Daly's Theatre fourteen
blocks further down Broadway,
where it ran until the end of the
season.
It is a musical comedy with a
genuine story, furnishing a mo-
tive for every principal and all
the chorus. * ,
Its book is by Frederick Ran-
ken, author of several of The
Bostomans' successes, uNancy
Brown" and "The Ameer."'
Its score is-from the'pen of
Ludwig. Englander, probably
the most successful composer of
light music in America.
Vera Micbelena, the prima
donna, is the youngest woman
on the American Stage holding
so important a position. At
eighteen years of age she left a
convent to go upon .the .stage
and was promoted to the princi-
pal role within six months.
William Blaisdell, the leading
comedian, is one ;of the best*.
known and most popular ring-
ing and dancing comedians be-
fore the public. .^ |
The; chorus tis. the biggest of
any traveling organization out-
side of grahd opera. At new
theater, November 28th.
The tour ot Theodore Kremer's .
Twentieth Century melodrama,
The Fatal Wedding," is on the
lips of everyone. If you have
missed seeing it, don't delayf se-
curing seats now. Without a
rival, it is easily'first in line as
the best play of its kind in our
remembrance. This is k broad
assertion, but it is easily sub-
stantiated. T h -e production
carried this season is promised
a more elaborate sc"alev if such a
thing is possible, and all the
Original members of the com-
pany remain in their respective
roles. The story of the "little
mother" appeals strongly to
our be8t nature, and has been
repeated many times by en-
thusiastic admirers.
The snow storm at night on the
Jersey Palisades, and the in-
terior of Grace Church, illumi-
nated tor a wedding ceremony
with the surpliCed choir ot boys,
are * scenes of rare beauty, and
seldom seen. Hardly has. the
first word been spoken in the
pilay until something has bap-
>ened, and so on - throughout
our spleddid acts, the interest
being feverishly sustained until
the final denouement, which al-
ways brings a whirlwind of pro-
longed applause. At new thea-
ter^ Orange, November 28.
The offering at the Orange
uieatfcr opening on Dec. 8tn,
will be "A Desperate Chance,"
