The production of beer is
now more than half a barrel for
every man, woman and child in
the United States.—Browns-
ville Herald.
We’ll take the woman’s ami
child’s part of the booze.—Bee-
villa Picayune.
And yet the Picayune editor,
v hen the Echo mentioned he
and booze in the same para-
graph, two or three weeks ago,
called Heaven and earth to wit-
ness that he was the worst ma-
ligned and misrepresented man
the world hud ever seen.
That New Orleans Rough
Rider who was in Ban Antonio
last week hit the nail on the
head when lie said: “Every
one of the Rough Riders with
sense enough to keep out of
jail, is holding an office of some
kind.”—Wilson County Jour-
nal.
The majority of them are no
doubt drawing pensions, also.
There uevtr was a body of men
who did so litt’e and got so
much reputation as well assnh-
stan|fal reward, as those same
Rough, Riders. Only half of
the regiment ever reached t'ubn
and that half only saw one bat-
tle, (there was but one), and
they went info that on foot.
The world don’t know whether
the Rough Riders could really
ride or not. The glamour thut
hung round the name, together
with all able-bodied “pull,”
made Dr. Leonard Woods, the
Colonel of the regiment., a Brig-
adier and Governor General of
Cuba during the American oc-
cupation, w here he is alleged to
have “feathered his nest” quite
comfortably. The same glam-
our and a similiar “pull” made
Theodore Roosevelt Governor
of New York. He was in the
way of certain New York poli-
ticians, and they forced him to
accept the Vic© Presidency—a
place which hitherto had ended
the political career of the man
who held it. Then accident,
fate, Juck, call it what you will,
made Roosevelt President, and
lie at once made Dr. Woods a
Major General and he has been
giving offices to ex-members of
the regiment ever since. That
is all right. We like to see old
comrades staud by each other.
If toeex-Rough Riders are com-
petent they might as well have
the offices as anybody—the of-
fices must be filled. We are
only speaking of the large re-
wards for smsll service.
were made largely for effect,
but som6 of them will bear re-
penting, In the hall of the
Capitol at Austin he said: “No
President of the United Stales,
no good American, proud of
his country’, could enter this
capifol and stand in this hall
without feeling a certain thrill
of pride in his citizenship and
in the history of the country's
past. This building in which
we are now standing is not only
one of the largest but one of t hr*
most beautiful of its kind
throughout the world. It is
eminently fitting that so great a
State should have so fine a cap
itol building.”

plainly modeled upon "t ho customs id

bad been a visible fact for nine yearn

to ei j y itself. Kv< n in doing so
J it followed a halm always hitherto
associated with the celebration of
the coronation bf kings.
Rojal customs were really the on.
ly ones the people knew, for every
American in Washington over thir-
ty two years of age had been born
the subject of a king, and the new
order of thiirgs had not given birth
to new ideas of how to manifest re*
juicing. Moreover, if the method
chosen seems to some to have been
an imitation of monarchical ru*.
toms, they should reflect hi ©Henna
timt that it is an instinct of man co
equal with his feeling the Mo avion
of pleasure to show h'« joy by danc. j

GROWTH OF THE CHURCHES.
Despite the clatter about on’worn
creeds and the aurious look on the
faces >d amateur diagnosticians as
they sii up with the church und feel
i s pulse, die statnd'ns aie still on
the side of the chinch. l iny show
it vital, not moribund. The rigures |
for i radically every denomination
show a percentage i f growth dusing
1904 larger than the increase in po.
pulalmn. Tin re is not such a drift
away from traditional tluology as
many would have ike world believe.
I'bi average person is not us deter-
mined to breik away from the faith
of the fathers as is currently topic
senlcd. llie truth is the pulpit al
ways has taken far more intensl in
theological puzzles than the pews,
and there can be a nighty churning
of tjie doctrinal waters without the
church rank and file becoming dm
imbed. — New Yoik Go be.
