Considerable credence is
being given the rumor that the
Texas Midland is about to be
sold to the Frisco. While there
may or may not be anything in
the Story, it is certain that the
Frisco could use the Midland to
advantage in their system by
extending the latter from Ennis
to Waco, thus giving it a through
line from Corpus Christi to the
North- As it is, all the freight
arrising on the Frisco lines in
Southwest Texas has to be
turned over to other roads.

While in a delirium of freer the un-

A CARTOON in the Houston Re-

No More For Us.
We notice that a number of
our exchanges are issuing
special editions that bear the
ear marks of the professional
special edition man . This is all
right. The Journal has been
guilty of the same thing in times
gone by But never again!
Henceforth and hereafter when
we get ready to get out a special
edition, and every piper should
occasionally, we will go it alone
and not divide the spoils with
some stranger who knows little
and cares less of the needs and
interests of our town and its
people.
The traveling special edition
man is long “heap on big ta'k” but
short on everything else. His
labors consist chiefly of work-
ing off on the merchants a lot of
stereotyped writeups, which he
uses every place he goes, mere-
ly changing the names, .and even
these have to be shaped up
and corrected by the editor. In
fact, most of the labor and all of
the responsibility ultimately
falls on the home newspaper
man, as do the explanations and
restorations required to right the
misrepresentations often made
by the stranger in order to ae
cure business. If we must do
most of the work and take all of
the blame, we prefer to also
take all the gain.
No more special edition men
for ua.
