thereby admitting the fundamental j
j principles of asceticism that we re-
nounce one thing to attain another.
! Beginning with Ash Wednesday,
the season proceeds along the even
tenor of its way until the begin-
ning of the last week, or Holy Week.
Then the services assume more spec-
ial significance, the meaning of the
days and of the observance becomes
more and more apparent. And the
climax of it all is attained when
on Easter morning, March 23, the
season of fasting and meditation
and self-sacrifice is broken by the
joyous proclamation of the resur-
rection. And sacrifice rejoices in
victory.
The Texas City Times finds that
there are fewer lawyers in the Tex-
as legislature this year than ever
before in the history of that body—
scarcely enough lawyers to give the
necessary legal advice in framing
the statutes the enactment of which
will be proposed. Maybe so, but
lack of numbers is made up in per-
nicious activity, to judge from the
performances of certain North Tex-
as bass-voiced legal luminaries, who
sit up nights working out schemes
for acquiring newspaper notoriety.

of Commissioners of the City of
Texas City, at a meeting held Janu-
ary 29, 1913, as the same appears

substituting, therefor, the words,
“such person shall be fined in any |
tinctly set apart for meditation on I
the things which make for the spir-
itual life; one of self-denial, self-1
sacrifice and consecration.
It marks the beginning of that
season of forty days spent in prayer
by the Christ at the beginning of
his ministry while he was upon ,
earth. As such a season it will be I
recognized and observed by more
than half of the Christian world.
The Roman Catholic and Protestant
Episcopal churches formally observe
the time.
The definite observance of Lent
as a season for fasting and penance
in the early church was not fixed
until after Tertullian. Before the
third century there is possible evi-
dence of the solemn observance ev-
erywhere of the last two days of
holy week, and it gradually spread
to include the whole week. But out-
side of this fast, Tertullian, Origen
and other early writers allude to a
forty days’ fast, and the council of
Nicea (A. D. 325) recognizes it as
an established custom. The proba-
bility is that it was a practice of the
more zealous even in aspostolic
times, and gradually grew into a rule.
From the day it was fixed as an
authorized custom of the church by
the council of Nicaea until the re-
formation the tendency was to grow
constantly more strictly and rigid.
With the breaking away from the
old church the english church clung
to almost all the Catholic observanc-
es, moderating only in the direction
of individual liberty and choice.
Some of the other Protestant bodies
did away entirely with the observ-
ance. of the season, on the high mor-
al ground that all life ought to be
a Lent and every Sunday was an
Easter; the only flaw in this con-
ception being that it takes too lit- '
tie account of the fraility of human
nature. Presbyterians proclaim fast
Now Going on
The Beaumont Enterprise tells us
editorially of the work of Galveston
county’s senator at Austin as fol-
lows:
“Senator Kauffman of Galveston
will introduce two bills of interest
to coast cities. One of these bills
proposes to give any city of more
than 5,000 inhabitants, in a county
bordering the coast of the gulf of •
Mexico, the right to acquire, by con-
demnation if necessary, property on
which to establish and operate mu-
nicipal railroad terminals, wharves,
docks, ferries or ferry landings. The
other bill proposes to give to every
city of more than 5000 inhabitants
the right to acquire, by condemna-
tion, if necessary, any land or other
public building, or for city parks
and other municipal improvements
cf a permanent character.
“The senator also has a bill to a-
bolish the State quarantine service
boish the State quarintine service
and turn the guarding of the ports
and the Rio Grande border against
the introduction of contagious di-
seases over to the federal govern-
ment.”

To those doubtful souls—those
timorous fellows, regular ground
hogs afraid of their shadows—who
are just now fearful that Texas
City has about “done her do,” that
there can never be a great city
made of this small one, we commend
the following statements of facts as
to what it takes to make a city,
with the express understanding that
every essential mentioned is abund-
antly possessed by Texas City.
“Ten years ago the value of Chi-
cago’s manufactures was but a little
past the thousand-million mark. Las
year it reached the astounding to-
tal of nearly two thousand millions,’
writes Roland Hartley in the cur-
rent issue of Harper’s Weekly.
“Fleets of steamers and sailing
craft, huge whalebacks, and great
barges now bring the sack of the
whole earth to Chicago. Over tens
of thousands of miles of railways
march endless processions of freight
trains loaded with the produce of
the soil. The city receives it all.
But the larger part of the raw ma-
terial, especially the foodstuffs, is
distributed in its original form from
this central point. By land and sea
it goes to every corner of America
and of the world.”
The Waco Times-Herald adds the
following suggestions to the forego-
ing conditions of large cities:
“And that’s why Chicago is rap-
idly coming alongside New York Cit
as to population. True, each is a
standing problem with its congested
districts, compelling the inquiry, Is
it worth while?
“A statemanship that fails to con-
sider this matter of congested popu-
lation is far short of what is de-
manded—is lacking in vision.”
Texas City won’t do any worrying
just yet about the evils of conjested
population, nor do we suppose Wa-
co is troubled very much on that
score.
One member of the State legisla-
ture is quoted as having said that
he would oppose the married wo-
man’s bill, because if a woman had
no better sense than to marry a
man who would not treat her right-
ly, she deserves to 'ose her proper-
ty. Would that same legislator ven-
ture to say that a citizen who has
no better sense to invest his money
in a concern which turns out to be
fraudulent deserves to lose his mon-
ey? Or that a man who has no bet-
ter sense than.to live in a town
which has unsanitary conditions de-
serves to lose his health? Or that a
man who has no better sense than
to cross the street when there are
steet cars and autos traversing it de-
serves to be run over? Or that a
workman with no better sense than
to work in a factory or other place
where he is liable to be injured, de-
serves to lose an arm, or a leg, or
his life? State Senator Collins is
the particular legislator who is cred-
ited with that wonderfully brainy
observation about the women's prop-
erty bill The News did not see
tl e quotation, and therefore cannot
say of its own knowledge that he is
responsible for such a remark. We
should dislike to think that Texas
