figures and the Roosevelt udminietration h-ses it-
ablest oounoillor. Compared with him, the presi-
dent himself and all other members of his cabinet
are the merest tyros in statecraft. Mr. Hay’s ex-
perience in publio life oommenoed with the admin-
istration of Linooln, whom ho served in the ca-
pacity of private secretary. He left that office to
enter the diplomatic serviee, in whioh most of his
public career has been spent.
He achieved high distinction in this field, pos-
sessing as he did in a conspicuous degree, the
accomplishments essential to successful endeavor.
Hs was justly esteemed by all the foreign govern-
ments to whioh he was at various times accredited.
A very large number of people will always re-
gret his connection with the Panama episode, an
affair that was not in keeping with the canons of
diploniaoy which in his better service Mr. Hay so
riohly exemplified. It is true that the Panama
coup d'etat was not due to Mr. Hay’s initiative,
and it is possible that it did not meet his approval.
In fact, many things have happened in .the state
department whioh it is difficult to conceive as Mr.
Hay*8 work. But the fact that he acquiesced by
remaining at his post fixes the responsibility
largely upon him, and his record will always be
marred by them. It was not difficult to judge the
work of Hay from that of his overlord, who occa-
sionally took a strenuous hand in state affairs.
Mr. Hay's literary accomplishments were
marked. His early poems possess much merit and
are still quoted, while his life of Lincoln is highly
appraised as the best biography of the martyr
president. His eulogy of McKinley, while lacking
the lofty eloonence of Bisine’s eulogy on Garfield,
was a moat notable utterance.
The American masses rarely come in contact
The Govenor of the state, or some other author-
ity should deolar- the city administration of San An-
tonio in a state of open insurrection and take some
means to see that the laws are enforced and the
administration of the oity’s affairs carried out as
the laws contemplate. The Mayor awaits the ac-
tion of the council and the council will not budge
until the Mayor raises his finger. The situation in
that respect is preposterous anH ludicrous—San
Antonio.
"Help Del Rio Grow” has been the theme of
the Herald since the establishment of the paper.
This may grow old to some, but not to a man who
has the interest of his town at heart. Our town
through the strenuous efforts of a few “hustlers”
has made rapid progress in a great many ways.
So now with renewed energies let us all, every-
body, pull together and make Del Rio what it
should be, “Tne greatest town in Texas.”
San Angelo, the hustling little city of about
10,000 inhabitants, has secured double daily ser-
vice from the Santa Fe, and the event will be cele-
brated in a becomming manner on the arrival of
the first train of the new service.
A drunkard in one of the Chicago courts, it is
said, laid all the blame on the beef trust, and the
suggestion is msde that perhaps he had been
drinking beef tea.—Beaumont Journal.
Lampasas, after several years of dryness, has
gone wet by a large majority.
Just darken the room and use antiseptics
freely; he'll be all right by next Fourth.
