Who can forecast the congression-

tain than working tor IL
Governor Campbell has not slopped

filled?

There Is not one of the American
states in which the opportunities for
labor and the advantage. of being in-
dustrious are greater than in Texas.
This December weather la glorious
for those who come out ot the frozen
north hoping tor a touch ot summer
to take the premature chill of winter
out ot their bones.
There is a variety of soil In this
state and climate to suit all condi-
tions of growth and the farmer need
be in no fear of not finding something
adapted to his lands.
Governor Campbell has surprised
Austin by not reappointing any of the
old gang. He has impartially distrib-
uted his appointments all over the
state and no locality has It all.
When socialism is defined as the
philosophy of failure it Is up to the
socialists to deny the soft Impeach-
ment and prove their position. It is
a taking phrase and may go far.
There never will be the amounts
contributed for campaign purposes In
the future that have been so liberally
poured into the party treasury In the
past. This also is a good thing.
The place of the newspaper report-
er in the detective ranks of the pres-
ent is too well known for the frater-
nity to suffer on account of any at
tacks on their revelations of crime.
That 'observation car" of the Trac-
tion company gives a view of San An-
tonio that cannot be gained in any
other way To the visitor it is Im-
mense. To the citizens it is a reve-
lation.
When San Antonio asks for addi-
tional mail carriers she only asks
what her postal service has l<mg
needed. It is at present altogether
inadequate to meet the demands up-
on it.
No impartial mind will challenge
the wisdom of the incoming state ad-
ministration in that It cuts loose from
the old official at Austin and from
the old landmarks and makes a new
path for its feet New things and
new applications of old things are
what Texas needs
That It is the national government
in ita centralization and not the state
governments in their Isolation and di-
versified conditions that must deal
with the trusts and the railroads
the large corporations whose opera-
tions are spread over a dozen states
is set forth in the message and con-
tended for if these corporations are
to be held in check. No other utter-
ance was expected on this subject and
the views of the message are only
such as It was well known the execu-
tive entertained. Here is the fighting
ground that Teddy selects.
SALVATION ARMY DINNER.
The Salvation Army Is accepted In
this city as one of the few religious
agencies on the outside that is doing
a really meritorious work on the In-
side. The devotion earnestness char-
Itablneas. broad humanitarianism ot
the Salvation Army is a strong cn«r-
acteristlc and these commend it to all
classes of men and women and all
grades of saints and sinners. Its hum-
ble hard working selt-aacriflcing offi
cers and privates are one with the
great mass of struggling humanity
and there is no reaching down to tn >ug
the poor and debased up but a coal-
ing down to them on the same plane
of thoughts and things that the real
fellow feeling for a fellow might ue
understood and appreciated by those
to whom the Salvation Army address
eg Itself There is no Phsriseeism in
their thought and none in their work.
Tbo oneness ol human need and of hu-
man suffering and of human recover-
ies la their center thought and their
creed is that there are none so hard
but they may be softened none so |
bad but they may be recovered to
betteruess none so low that there is I
no hope for them. Thia is the spirit
of their calling and their brotnernood '
of man is as broad as the necessities ;
of humanity. This fact as to me »«i
vation Army is generally accepted
and it has won its recognition from
the lowest depths of the slums to the
exclusive circles of the most ultra re
tinemenu Their honesty is no more
questioned nor that they are doing a
good work. In the prosecution of this
work they teed the bodies and las* >
go for the souls. They appeal to tne
purses of San Antonio to aid in this
first work and should not appeal in
vain. Their Christmas dinner for the '
masses will cost hundreds of dollars.
Put your hand in your pocket a«d
help out.
NO TARIFF IN IT.
That there is no reference In the
president's message to the tariff one
way or the other is possibly one of
the most noticeable things about that
document. Everything that It sug-
gests the country has already found
recommended in some form or anoth-
er by the president in Interviews or
speeches an<f the formal placing of
them before congress In the message
adds no new quality to them. But that
there should be no reference to tariff
or to reciprocity or to revisions of the
present schedules was hardly expected
by those who have followed the course
of opinion and noted the speeches made
during the last campaign. The omis-
sion is so complete that it challenges
attention and there is but one inter-
pretation to be put on that omission
and this Is that tariff is not going to
cut any figure in the contentions of
congress this winter. Should this de-
sirable condition prove true it will
greatly please the industries of the
country with the few local exceptions
that look to a change of tariff for
their special benefit as the cotton
spinners of the east and the lumber
Interests of the south and west. There
is no need of meddling with the tariff
schedules of the present This is the
meaning of the president's silence
and in that silence the voice of the
standpatter is heard. A revision of
the tariff is the last thing that the
business of this country desires and
the wisdom that so sees and directs
is to be commended. President Roose
velt is thus with the standpatters >f
the party and in good company.
OUR CUBAN RELATIONS.
Cuba Is to go her lonesome. The
courts of Great Britain and France
and Germany are not going to recog-
nize the provisional movement in ex-
istence there tinder Ma goon but will
treat Cuba as an American depend-
ency. or at least as a country over
which T’nited States has erected a
protectorate and therefore not entitled
to a diplomatic representative. This
is condition and not a theory but ft
shows that the European governments
are not sleeping over the changes that
have taken place in Cuba. There are
no end of Americans who will regret
this occupation of Cuban soil by the
American government the posting of
American soldiers In Cuba and all else
that Is involved in the present occupy
tlon of the Island. There are on the
other hand no end of good Americans
who thins this Is all that remains'for
the United States to do. and these peo-
ple are those who believed that after
the retirement of the Spaniards the
island should never hate been turned
over to the Cubans. But the promises
of the American government to re-
store Cuba to her own people was
kept to the extent of retiring from
the Island and giving rein to the
Cubans under Palma to govern them-
selves Whether this government al-
lowed the Cubans sufficient time to
demonstrate their fitness for self gov.
ernment or their unfitness Is open to
question So is the permanent occu-
pation of the Island by the Americans.

United States In fact if not in form
to be questioned. While In present
poeoeuaioa the United States can
clean out the yellow fever nests it no
more and prevent contagion from that
source for a few years to come it
may be that Europe sees clearer than
we do the logical consequences of the
present American occupation and con-
siders it a permanent thing. It is
best so?
That Caruso case in New York is
constantly agitated no doubt with
the intention of free advertisement
for the princljiai in the transaction.
Tnat monkey cage business has turn-
ed out to be a monkey and a Caruso
sort of a thing and on the first ap-
pearance of the tenor In the theater
after his sentence by the judge be was
received with a burst of long contin-
ued applause. Those New York Idiots
have a fellow feeling for a fellow
that is marvelous but there Is little
sympathy with them for the poor vic-
tims of the unmanly persecutions of
stage favorites.
The expected information as to
Panama was not contained in the
message congress recMved. but it will
be laid before that body later. The
time that has elapsed since the Inspec-
tion at Panama was made has not
given the president the time to collect
his knowledge and put it in form for
presentation »o congress. He has the
data and the country will soon learn
the impressions received the facts
noted and the recommendations that
are to follow.
The $7 a cord for wood In San An-
tionio is multiplied by ten and be-
comes 170 In the Nevada town of
Goldfield. The supply Is cut off and It
Is the same with coal and both wood
and coal are doled out a few sticks
and a sack at a time so that there will
be enough for a scanty supply In each
case. All this as the result of a snow
nlockade which is now likely to be
raised any day as the weather is mod-
erating. if old sootie had to pay that
the nether fires would soon die down.
The president's message leaves no
uncertainty as to his position on the
dismissal of the negro troops so lately
on the Rio Grande. The end of that
business is not yet and there is to
be the fulelst Investigation into all
that want before that act of vandalism
and murder and all that followed it.
The previous history of the regiment
is to come into the limelight.
Those Hebrew housewives In Now
York who are banded to boycot the
high-priced meat market could do a
land office business most anywhere
boycotting high prices. With eggs at
35 cents a dozen In this city and no
Insurance as to their soundness and
other things In proportion the door
for their activities Is wide open. Nev.
er before were the necessities of the
table so dear.
Corporations and campaign funds as
Improper parties to any marriage is
one of the themes of the president's
message. He thinks that where mere
is any marriage attempted that con-
gress should forbid the banns and
where a real marriage has taken
place a divorce should be pronounced.
The idea Is all right but it Is easy to
whip the devil around that stump.
PRESS PICKINGS.
Paris Advocate: It looks like the
"go" between the state of Texas and
the Waters Pierce Oil company will
be pulled off according to schedule.
Yes bht Bailey will never be se
lected for umpire.
Denison Herald: Texas is too big
and too rich not to be able to meet
every expense promptly on the day it
ia due The legislature should see
to It that sufficient revenues are pro-
vided for the transaction of the busi-
ness of the state and that those things
needed to be done can be done.
Good advice but will the legislature
follow ft? If all the sensible sug-
gestions made to the administration
of Texas by the newspapers had been
carried cut there would be one place
on earth in which there would be no
need of the millennium. It Is not too
much to ask not too much to expect
that the state revenues be made am-
ple for all state needs and properly ex-
pended. so that the state would not
have to run business on its face.

Phoenix Arlz. Gazette: In El Paso
every room vacated by a gambler was
immediately occupied by some legiti-
mate business enterprise and the ex-
perience of the Texas city will be
duplicated by Phoenix.
Ei Paso is to be congratulated on
the condition referred to. All the
same there Is a curiosity to understand
why some kinds of gamblers are re-
rpectable and others are hunted with
a big stick. Perhaps the inside In-
formation on this occult subject w-111
he at hand some day but that there
is a much mixedness In the ideas on
this subject at present prevailing is
too certain. There is also a grave
doubt as to the real injury to society
arising from professional gambling.
compared to the Injury done tn our
social circles where poker and bridge
whist are played Cor stakes that many
who play cannot afford. If gambling
l*r se ia a sin stop U but stop It every-
where. It Is not a licensed thing to
be allowed the rich and denied the
poor. The columns of the metropoli-
tan journals teem with accounts of
the fearful lengths to which gambling
In high society Is carried now.
Brownsville Bulletin: The bank
statements published Isst week In
nearly all Texas papers show a most
prosperous condition of finances
throughout the state. Every little
town has a bank and every bank has
a line showing of deposits. It begins
now to look like the money center
will be changed from the east to the
southwest before many years.
Texas is prosperous. She Is grow-
ing more so every year. Her money
is In evidence and her banks are all
right but If that money was out of
the banks and in profitable manufac-
turing enterprises it would be still
better for the state.
Beaumont Journal: Returns from
the state election indicate that Cecil
Lyon and his regulars will continue
to carve the federal pie in Texas until
an outraged people kick the republican
party out of the white house at Wash-
ington. In the meantime the reorgan-
izers can enjoy themselves by gazing
at the feast from a distance.
If Cecil Lyon is chairman of the
republican Harty in Texas until that
party is kicked out of the white house
he has a long tenure of office. Of the
two evllg it were far better that he re-
main boss of republicans in Texas that
the democrats should gain possession
of the national government. In any
case the reorgaziners are organized
cutside of the party breastworks.
Fort Worth Teelgram: It is claim-
ed by those who favor the ship subsidy
bill now pending in the house that the
moment it is passed orders will be
placed with American shipbuilders
for seventy-five new American steam-
ships of 400000 gros* register to cost
140000000. on the Atlantic coast line.
That ship subsidy bill Is the only
hope of an American marine. When
it will command the votes of a ma-
jority of congress is uncertain but as
sure as this country is to continue to
be a commercial one so sure that
shipping bill is going to become law
and the subsidy pass. It may be sooner
or later but it is bound to come. There
is nothing else commercially possible

Houston Post: The Confederate
monument fund was substantially in-
creased b' the receipts at the automo.
tile rates tut there is much more
that can be done ty the cltiiens of
Hous’ou tor this worthy purpose. The
Post believes if the Daughters of the
Confederacy will not be in too great
haste that in ijpod time a sum suf-
ficient to erect a monument that will
be a credit to the city tor all time
can be obtained. The other day there
was unveiled in Columbia S. C- a
statue of General Hampton which cost
*30000. and General Hampton has
been dead only four years. To erect
a monument that will epitomize the
glory of the Confederacy for all time
to come will probably require more
money than the ladles now contem-
plate spending. Monument funds are

I effort will conquer in the long run
I and an awakened civic pride will
I make success doubly sure.
