THE # BRAND
PAT NEFF ROBERTS.
A few weeks ago Representative
J. C. Roberts announced to the
House the birth of his twenty-first
child. The House at once passed
a resolution naming the boy Pat Neff
Roberts, after the present Speaker,
subject to the approval of Mrs.
Roberts. The mother of No. 21
having assented to the name chosen,
the House has passed another reso-
lution as follows:
Whereas, It has come to the
knowledge of the House by a writ-
ten communication that Mrs. J. C.
Roberts, wife of our distinguished
member, Judge J. C. Roberts, has
accepted, confirmed and ratified the
name so generously and unanimously
bestowed upon their infant son by
this House, and that the said boy is
now legally and with all due for-
mality named, christened and en-
titled Pat Neff Roberts; now there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the wish of
the membership of the House that
Pat Neff Roberts follow in the foot-
steps of the man for whom he is
named, and that he make a useful
citizen of the state.
Resolved • further, That we all
hope to live to see Hon. Pat Neff
Roberts speaker of the Texas House
of representatives.
We note with pleasure that the
editor of the Quanah Tribune-Chief
has been appointed as a delegate
from the Northwest Texas Press
Association to the National Editorial
Convention, which is to meet in St.
Louis this year.
It will be noted that at the recent
convention of the Panhandle Cattle-
men's Association the time of their
meeting was changed from the third
week of March to the third week of
April. This was done with the
desire that more northern buyers
may attend the convention, and that
the meeting may thus be of more
practical value to stockmen. The
change is certainly a wise one.
Few sales of cattle are made in the
Panhandle in March, and buyers
from the north hardly begin to come
in before the last of April; hence
the latter date is much preferable.
The credit for the change is due
largely to our fellow-townsman G.
A. Sachse, who is a member of the
executive committee of the associa-
tion, and who represented to the
convention the advisability of the
change.
In a few weeks the Panhandle
Teachers Institute will meet in
Hereford. Is it not time that steps
were being taken to provide the
proper entertainment for the visiting
teachers and others who attend?
This convention should be an occa-
sion of much interest and profit to
the entire town, as well as to those
immediately connected with the
Association, and everything possible
should be done to give the visitors a
favorable impression of our town and
people.
Our delegates to the Fifth Sunday
meeting at Memphis came back very
much encouraged at the prospect of
Hereford's securing the Baptist
College. They think that our
chances are of the best. It is not
wise to be over sanguine, nor to
count the battle won before the fight
is fairly on. On the other hand, it
is well to hope much and to work
much, believing that if we really
want the College and want it bad
enough, there is no reason why we
shouldn't get it.
It is reported that Fort Worth is
soon to have a new morning news-
paper, of the most modern kind to
compete with the Dallas News. • A
stock company with a capital of
$150,000 will be organized, and a
large and complete newspaper plant
installed. The new journal, it is
said, will be the north Texas branch
of the Houston Post. Its politics
will be distinctly Democratic.
Clarence Ousley, at present editor
of the Post, is to occupy the cheif
editor's chair. It is thought that
John H. Kirby of Houston is back-
ing the enterprise.
A bill has been introduced in the
State Senate to relieve fair associa-
tions from the operation of the anti-
poolroom law recently passed. The
bill, which has been reported favor-
ably by the Senate judiciary com-
mittee, is as follows:
Section 1. Hereafter it shall be
lawful to wager upon races between
horses in this state when such races
are conducted under the supervision
of any fair association chartered
under the laws of the state of Texas,
and when such wager is made on
the day the race is actually run, and
within 200 feet of the track or
grounds where such race is run;
provided, that this act shall not be
construed to at any time or place
authorize the selling of pools on any
horse race.
