A fortune awaits some mao who has
the money and inclination to build a
summer resort in the Suburbs ol Abi
lene. A comfortable house surround-
ed by lawns and shade trees on an ar-
tificial lake for bathing and boating
would attract an army of visitors every
summer. Abilene is noted as having
the most pleasant sumner climate in
reach of the larger Texas towns which
sends out thousands during six months
of every season. There are several
places near thittown that artificial lakes
can be made at small cost and tress
when irrigated grow so rapidly that
two years wou'd mike a lovely mina-
ture forest. This would also be a
pleasant place for Abilene people to
visit and concerts and other entertain-
ments would be well pairon'zed
Texas laws have their faults and
Texas political leaders their weak
nessts. but when widely circulated
newspapers hunt for enlarge upon
and spread them all over the land they
are do ng the people an injury that it
will be hard to repair. If a northern
or eastern paper says an evil thing of
our state that these Texas journals do
not reprint and gloat over we have
never seen it. ""The laws and their
administrators are legitimate subjects
of criticism but to constantly assert
that they are inimical to the invest
me'nt of capital when many of them
placed in this category are for its pro-
tection is one of the least offenses of
these papers. Scarcely an issue of the
four leading dailies referred to but that
contains some flng at the state its
officers or political leaders. The peo-
ple themselves are responsible for
these offensive journals and so long
as taey encourrge them they deserve
the treatment thcyreceive. A bocot
it not necessary but a general protest
made by their best patrons would set
these otheiwise meritorious papers
right.
Referring to what the Globe-Democrat
says in another column about the
treadmill life of a. farmer's wife it may
be well to say that this is not neces-
sarily her portion and is not a true
picture of the hfe of all by any means.
Where huslands and children do any-
thing near their duy and in homes
constructed with a view to convenience
the farmer's wife may have no harder
work to do than a merchant's. Many
farmers in Texas have put in water
works for their yards and gardens ano
the investmint pays. Water in every
room with a bath and kitchen sick
hydrants in the garden and horse lot
and other such conveniences can be
paid (or out the proceeds ol a small
pht of land irrigated by the windmill
and well if devoted to some prcfib!e
vegetable that has heretofore been
shipped in from outs de points. The
cost of such a-plam inc'uding the ne-
cessary plunibmg ouiht not to cost
more than two hundred dollars.
Neatly all large ranches and fatms in
California are thus equipped and it
pays. Try i' here-
