If Gresham’s district fails to
send him back to congress, the
district, and not Gresham, will be
the loser. In days gone by we
were not particularly/“struck” on
the Galveston gentleman and
thought him somewhat selfish,
but his adm'irable course as a men-
ber of the present congress has re-
moved our prejudice and in all
candor we do not believe that Tex-
as now has a safer or abler repre-
sentative in the lower house than

Ft. Worth,' Tex., Ju ne 29.
: Dear Herald:—When a' mat!
attends a gathering such as the an-
nual Texas press' association meet-
ing be is not »much inclined to
write letters. Everybody is sole-
ly on pleasure bent, and the one'
supreme object is- fun and more of
if. However, if I did not drop you
a few’ lines to tell you about the
open-handerd hospitality lavished
oh the Texas press by the • whole-
souled people of Fort Worth I
would truly be an .jqgrate. The
fact is, the Fort Worthite’s heart
is like the average United. States
senator’s head—almost top big'for
his body. I will not inflict upon
you the proceedings of the press
association convention, for they
are of interest, to printers only;
will say, though, that the meeting
was enjoyable, thorough-going and
enthusiastic, and was no doubt
profitable to thoke who attended.
The first thing >bat impressed me
upon my arrivaf here was the go-
ahead-aiiveness and general busi-
ness appearance of the city.. Here
&ry will be established all over
Texas. The hams, salt and dryed
meats, sausage, and last, but not
least, the pure leaf lard, made here
by this institution, are superior to
the Northern'products. Why, even
our Lavaca county razor-backs
could be made into sausage here
and you couldn’t tell if from-Berk-
shire. Raise begs, ye farmers, and
you will find a/rdady martlet for
them here. The next event in
this series of pleasant surprises
was The elaborate reception' given
the maguificient home of Mr.
and Mrs.. C. H. Silliniau, Tnis
was an event long to be/,remem-
bered and was fully in keeping
with everything else undertaken
by the good people of the Fort. The
crowning feature of this occasion
was the presentation of a beautiful
silk banner to the Texa3 Press As-
sociation by Mr. and Mrs. Sillimau.
Of course champagne flowed freely,
but you kuovv the average news-
paper man’s aversion to such truck.
The last but not least public de-
monstration was Tnursday evening,
when we were shown through the
large brewery here. Ihis is an
immense concern, employs several
hundred people and has a pay roll
of $10,000 a month. Beer and
_-1 ' x. • -V. .
sandwiches! Don’t mention it!
Well, I just thought of the hard-
working candidates down in old
Lavaca and thought what a feast
they could have with their “dear
people” if they could have free ac-
cess to tnis couceiu tor about a
