THAT SUGGESTED
NEW RAILROAD
FROM FREEPORT TO SAN ANTONIO
IS WORTHY CONSIDERATION.
RICE ASSOCIATION
WEEKLY LETTER.
-o—o
The new railroad from Freeport to
San Antonio as proposed to the Bay
City Business League by the. El Cam-
po Board of Trade is worthy your
consideration. It is extremely doubt-
ful whether there is a more promis-
ing short line route in the state than
the one proposed. Nor is there a
richer territory than that which
be transversed by this road.
Take your map and look at it. It
runs almost as the crow would fly, a
little south of east from San Antonio
to Freeport and would shorten the
distance from San Antonio to a deep
water port by' fifty miles or more. It
would pass through a considerable
portion of level land from the coast
to as far west as El Campo which
would insure construction at a min-
imum expense. It would have some
of The best towns in South Texas to
feed from, namely, Bay City, El Cam-
po, Cuero and San Antonio. It would
pay from the start for the reason that
the tonnage in this territory is enor-
mous. It’s a good thing; push it!
We have no fears of San Antonio
not being willing to join in heartily,
for San Antonio Wants direct connec-
tion with a deep water port and Free-
port is the nearest to her by long
odds. So if our people, those of Free-
port, El Campo and Cuero will get
together in a business way San An-
tonio will come in for her part of
the enterprise as she always does,
liberally. |

interest is up! Get busy.

Beaumont, Texas, June 25.—Condi-
tions are improved in Texas since last
week’s rain, which filled the Colora-
do' river, but the stands are not up
to average. Inferior stands are re-
ported on the Mississippi, and the bal-
ance of the coast report good stands.
The crop is looking well in Arkansas.
The Senate committee in charge of
the Underwood bill in the upper house
of congress reports the Underwood
tariff bill with the rice schedule un-
changed except as to the brewer’s rice
item, which is left as it now stands,
with a tariff of one-fourth of a cent
a pound, instead of one-eighth, as pro-
vided in the Underwood bill. The
press dispatches ’ from Washington
say that the finance committee was
laughed into making the change,
attention had been called to the fact
that only the brewers could be helped
and only the farmers hujrt by the
change. In its brief filed before the
Senate committee the Southern Rice
Growers’ Association called attention
* to the fact that the only way in which
the consumer could be affected by
the lowering of the duty on brewers’
rice would be by the brewers increas-
ing the size of a nickel’s worth of
beer. '
The fight for a fair tariff for rice
has not been abandoned, and will not
be until the president has signed the
Underwood bill. Senator Ransdell
will lead the attack on the floor of
the Senate, but with the president de-
termined to permit no changes, and
with the democrats of both houses
on record for the measure as it
stands, the hope for rice looks slim.
The rice farmers of the United States
might as well make up their minds
first as last to adjust themselves to
the new conditions. The culture of
I more
of it to the acre is the one thing that
will offset the bad effects of the re-
duction of the tariff on rice .

S. Locke Breaux, whose brief show-
ing why the tariff on rice should not
t be reduced in the Payne-Aldrich bill
was pronounced one of the best briefs
ever filed before the Ways and Means
committee, will speak on the “The
Tarifff in its Relation to Rice” at the
rice convention at Beaumont on July
15, 16 and 17. This address will be
of intense interest to rice farmers, as
it will show them what effect the
tariff has had on the rice industry in
the past and what they may expect in
the future from the changes made by
the Underwood bill.
“The Rice Miller and the Rice Far-
mer,” an address by J. B. Fole^, of
Crowley, La., will be interesting both
to the farmer and to the miller. Mr.
Foley was president^and general man-
ager of a rice mill at Crowley a few
years ago and he runs a thousand-
acre rice farm near Gueydan now.

the country should hear is Mr. Hop-

His marvelous campaigns are now
used by students of strategy every-
where, but his fame as a soldi^ was
exceeded by the love and almo * idol-
atrous confidence in the man, which
was displayed by his war-worn com-
rades, and it can be ss«d truly of
himself and his cause, “that none died
with more honor or more glory,
though many died and there was
much of both honor and glory.”
In all these years .here in the form-

Speaker Clark thinks it is time the
United States government ought to
concern itself about the emigration of
its citizens to Canada and other coun-
tries. These emigrants, farmers gen-
erally, are among out best citizens, he
says, and the reason they are expa-
triating themselves is the lure of
cheaper lands and less stringent land
laws as to homesteading.
It is difficult to see how the United
States can. do anything to restrain
such emigration. These movements
of population are as old as the human
race. They are in response to nat-
ural laws, to human impulse and cap-
rice, £hd they will continue so long
as the race endures.
Our own country has been settled
as a result of the nomadic instinct
accentuated by the ambition for home
and fortune. Europe has emptied mil-
lions of her sons and daughters into
our country. and continues to do so,
and our own countrymen are going1
to manifest their adventurous propen-
sities, which, perhaps, we might bet-
ter call pioneer spirit, so long as
there are unsettled fertile regions
which offer opportunities for home
and wealth.
The »emigratlon question, it seems
to us, is one that will have to be left
to settle itself. Of course, congress
may find it feasible to ameliorate
homestead conditions so far as the
public lands are concerned, and may,
by providing irrigation and drainage,,
open large bodies of land within our
own borders to settlement. In any
event, it is certain that the vast area
of British America is to be settled
thickly in time, and it is inevitable
that the citizens ofthe United States
are going to furnish the vast major-
ity of the settlers.
These movements among our own
people in the past have' resulted in
greatly expanding our boundaries, and
it is within the bounds of possibility
that the movement so much deprecat-
ed by the speaker will in due time
tend to bring about what so many have
dreamed of—the continental Republic
of the United States of America. The
land itself is what is important to

liberties of our southland and under
this biting test of real fire no man

was on this field that a knightly com-

This new name represented to
Jackson’s comrades, those sturdy
gentlemen who made up the rank

synonym of strength and steadiness,
and was peculiarly suitable to his
character, and until his death on the
field of battle, his life stands as
clear proof, that these gallant south-

motives unsullied, knew by instinct
the real man from the counterfeit.
