. MUTATIONS OF POCITICAL
PAHTIE .
Mr. McCauley In one of his num-
erous eeaays tells of two political
parties of England which swapped i
positions In politics. If our mem-
cry serves us right he illustrated how
this was done by the dream of some
one. The dreamer said he saw two
figures of entirely different forms
and bristling with hostility to each
other approach each other In attitude
of rombat. The strange thing about
it was that they met and passed each
other and in doing so each assumed
the form and exact figure of the
other. So, said, McCauley had It been
with the two opposing political par-
ties of England.
If the republican party should nom-
inate Col. Roosevelt for ItH presiden-
tial candidate In 1912 and the demo-
crats were to follow the suggestion of
the Galveston convention In making
their nomination, much the same
thing would occur In the history of
American political parties as Mc-
Cauley describes as having occurred
In English politics.

that as it may, there is no disputing
that such a line, vhlci would require
but the filling <A a few gaps for its
consummation, would tap one of the
richest sections of Texas, giving it di-
rect connection with tide water at
Beaumont and bringing the greatest
cotton producing counties of Bast and
North Texas many miles nearer the
ship side than at present, and not on-
1> that, would furnish a direct line
into the very center of the Oklahoma
cotton country. Paris is in the north
ero tier of counties of Texas, but a
few miles from the Oklahoma Une,
and on the rail line from Texarkana
to Sherman and Denison; the filling
of a gap from Paris to Mineóla would
bring it on to Trinity, the western
terminal of the Beaumont & Great
Northern, which runs to Livingston,
beaded toward Beaumont, and char-
tered to build to this city.
Trinity is also the western terminal
of what is known among rail-road men
as the Katy orphan, a short line own-
ed by the Missouri- Kansas & Texas,
running from Trinity to Colmesneil
on the Southern Pacific Dallas divis-
ion.
Whatever may be the outcome of

these gaps will be filled in the not
very distant future. Assurance that
they will be filled soon would prob-
ably have great bearing upon the fin-
