Five Minutes From Labor.
In accordance with the request of
the commanding general of the United
Confederate Veterans, the Southern
Railway Company has ordered that all
business on the line of that railway
and in the shops and offices shall l>a
suspended for five minutes from 2
o'clock p. m. today.
At 2 o'clock sharp all moving trains
will be stopped, no matter where they
may be, and not a wheel will be turned
for the ensuing five minutes. The
wheels of industry all along the line
■will be stopped for the same length
of time at the same hour.
There have been no general orders
with regard to the observance of the
Jefferson Davis anniversary by any of
the Southern corporations as far as
reported in the press dispatches, but
in most of the States that made up the
Southern Confederacy there will be
some sort of observance, of which tlio
five-minute suspension of all industry
will form a feature.
The novelty of it is causing the re-
quest of Gen. Stephen B. Lee to r£
reive considerable attention both North
and South.
Local Option and Regulation.
In the prohibition election held in
Travis County Saturday of last week
the expected happened when the
count showed that the antis had wen
by a substantial majority.
It was not doubted that the city of
Austin would go strongly against pro-
hibition, but it was hoped that tlje
anti majority in the city would be
overcome by the heavy prohibition
vote In the rural districts.
The principle of local option as
viewed by the personal liberty advo-
cates consists in permitting each
community to decide for itself whether
it will have the licensed saloon or. pro-
hibit the sale of liquor within its con-
lines. The Austin antis were bitterly
opposed to what they called the effort
to override the local sentiment in that
city by the outside precincts. They
■were entirely willing, they said, for
the other towns in the county to be
wide open or tightly closed, as the
majority vote might decide, but they
wanted the question as to what Austin
should do in the matter left entirely
to the people of Austin.
Under the new liquor law which
goes into effect next month, it is
thought probable that much of the
prejudice against the retail liquor sa-
loon will be dispelled, because under
its stringent provisions the disorderly
places will be closed up and only
those which are properly conducted
■will be permitted to continue in busi-
ness. This is the view that has been
taken by some of the supporters of
the new law who favor regulation but
are opposed to prohibition.
Speaking of the new law and the re-
cent ruling of the Attorney General's
department concerning a probable
hiatus between the expiration of the
old license and the granting of a new,
Jake Wolters, general attorney for the
wholesale liquor interests in the State,
says: "If this law is lived up to, mark
my prediction, in another ten yeara
you will not hear of any further local
option elections. And this law should
be enforced properly in every commu-
nity in the State; but it should not
be so construed in its inception so as
to work a great hardship upon the
people engaged in the business, for it
is Inconceivable that it was the inten-
tion of the Legislature which enacted
it and the Governor who approved it
that such should be the effect."
The liquor problem has been a dis-
turbing one for many years and local
option does not seem, even now, to
tatlsfy the extreme prohibitionists, out
regulations that properly regulate may
prove satisfying and furnish the de-
sired solution.
The Most Promising City.
"Dallas has passed the 80,000 mark
and a sworn statement of the census
returns has been forwarded to the
proper authorities. This means an ad-
vance in the salaries of the letter car-
riers of Dallas. Dallas is the largest
city in Texas, Dallas is the best gov-
erned of Texas cities, Dallas has the
best future of all Texas cities, an 1
Dallas has the best record of all Texas
cities," says the Times-Herald.
It is pleasing to know that Dallas
is prosperous, well governed and has
a good record, but the statements that
.Dallas is the largest city in the State
and has the best future can hardly
be permitted to go unchallanged.
The last census gave San Anton'o
a population considerably in excess of
that of any other city in the State,
about 10,000 more than Dallas. In
the six and a half years that have
elapsed since that census was taken
San Antonio has grown steadily, and
perhaps more rapidly than any other
city in Texas.
No recent census has been taken to
sliow conclusively the exact popula-
tion of this city, but the general esti-
mate of those who would be most
competent to judge places the figure
at somewhere between 85,000 and 10),
000. It is not doubted that the latter
figure will be passed before the next
Federal census, 1910, is taken.
As to the future of the city, it may
be noted that the country around Dal-
las is settled up. There Is nearly as
much population in the territory di-
rectly tributary to that city as there
will be for many years to come. The
territory of which San Antonio is tiie
trade center is just now being devel-
oped. It has been sparsely settled up
to the present time, but it is being
transformed from immense cattle pas-
tures into small productive farms, and
actes are now being tilled that had
hiWierto lain idle.
The futur(#of San Antonio is found
in the future of this rapidly devel
oping territory, which is an empire
in itself, and as the country grows
San Antonio will grow. Perhaps there
is no city in the world with such a
promising future as the metropolis of
this great and glorious Southwest
Texas.
San Antonio's Scholastic Population.
The increase of 1195 in the scholas-
tic population of San Antonio since
the last scholastic census was taken
a year ago is one of the unmistakable
indications of the rapid growth of this
city.
According to the school census just
completed and tabulated, there are
practically fifteen thousand boys arc,'
girls between the ages of seven and
seventeen within the corporate limits
of tho city who are eligible to the pub-
lic schools, nearly 1200 more than lost
year.
When the School Board and the
School Superintendent and teachers
were clamoring for more school room
few persons aside from those inti-
mately associated with public educa-
tion realized the full extent of the in-
creased demand upon tho public school
facilities and the absolute need for
the enlargement contemplated. Al-
though new houses have been going
up in large numbers in every part cf
the city and occupied as soon as fin-
ished, and the evidences of growth of
population apparent on every haud,
few have been able to appreciate the
real extent of the growth of the city.
Fortunately, however, the energy
and activity of the friends of public
education were such as to assure the
success of the proposition submitted
to the voters for bonds and special
taxes sufficient to build and equip
more school houses to accommodate
the increased number of school chil-
dren. The School Board is now busily
engaged with the plans for new school
houses and additions, which it is ex-
pected to have ready for occupancy
by the opening of the next school term
in September.
The sum at the board's command,
$200,000, will suffice for providing ac-
commodations for all applicants this
year, perhaps, but if the present rate
of increase in population continues it
will be necessary to build more school
houses next year. With the enhanced
value of property and the increased
revenue therefrom in public taxes, it
should not be any more difficult or
any more burdensome upon the tax-
payers to raise enough revenue to
build, equip and maintain school
houses for twentj thousand pupils
than it was aforetime for the smaller
population and lesser tax roll to sup-
port the smaller number of schools.
The growth of tho city and of the
scholastic population merely evidences
the increased wealth and prosperity to
which San Antonio's splendid public
school system has contributed a large
share.

flrim and Thummim. The same jour-
nal mentions that one of the pioneers
of the woman suffrage movement In
America was a Jewess, Mrs. Ernestine
L. Rose, who addressed meetings as
early as 1836. Among the Jewish
women of this country now promi-
nently identified with the woman suf-
frage movement are Mrs. Maud Na-
than of New York, who bases her plea
for woman's enfranchisement on the
working woman's need of the ballot,
and Mrs. SteineiA of Ohio, the first
woman to be elected a member of the
Board of Education of Toledo.
Speaker Love of the Thirtieth Leg-
islature is excited over that inadvert-
ent voting of twenty days of prohibi-
tion in Texas. He seems anxious to
place the blame somewhere else than
on Legislative shoulders. The Assist-
ant Attorney General insists that the
blame lies with the framers of the
law, but says he is ready to he shown
otherwise. It is up to Mr. Love and
his fellow members of the Legislature,
and they are likely to hear more of
this thing in the future.
A day or so after President Roose-
velt's Indianapolis speech, in which ho

West Virginia, a Union veteran, ad-
dressed the Confederate veterans at
Richmond with an eloquent plea for
a re united country. To this, not to be
outdone in patriotism and magnani-
mity, the veterans and the whole
South respond.

President Roosevelt has come out
in an endorsement of industrial and
mechanical education. Texas is in
line with a splendid agricultural sn.l
mechanical college and now proposes
to teach agriculture in the public
schools. Education which fits the fu-

tions they will have to face is tho
kind desired.
The Boston Post vouches for this as
a genuine entry in the records of the
Professional Woman's League: "At
the last meeting Mrs. Edwin Knowles
read an interesting paper on cats.
There were sixty-eight present." "For
fear of making a bad matter worse,
we refrain from comment," says tho
Washington Post, thus disappointing a
natural curiosity as to the cats.

The New York World says that
ninety-one years ago this year winter
lasted all summer and December was
the mildest month. We might as well
give up the idea that anything in the
present can not be discounted by some
remembrance of the past.
A grapevine wire from Houston says
all the Sunday* morning passenger
trains out of that city, especially those
going toward Galveston, were crowded
to the limit. That is because Hous-

June manifests a disposition to make
up for the bad conduct of May, and in
this part of the country we may ask,
with the poet, "What so rare as a day

A rebellion is raging in China and
thirty thousand men are said to be
under arms. Most of them will prob-
ably go to join their ancestors before
the Imperial army is done with ihem.
Inclement weather will not, perhaps,
have any injurious effect on the crcp
of June brides, which is just now very
promising in Southwest Texas.

Railroads and the Commission.
"It appears from Mr. Colquitt's inter-
pretation tJiat the new anti-pass law not
only prohibits railroad managers from
contracting for advertising space to be
paid for in transportation, but from
hauling freight for the State Govern-
ment and its subdivisions or for fairs,
expositions, etc., at less than the regu-
lar rates, without having first obtained
the approval and authority of the Rail-
road Commission." says The San Anto-
nio Kxpress. As far as the anti-pass pro-
vision goes. The Express' comment may
be subject to either of two constructions.
l>oes it mean to quote Commissioner
Colquitt as saying that the law prohibits
contracts for transportation to be paid
for in advertising "without having first
ohtained the approval and authority of
the Railroad Commission," or does It
mean that the prohibition of such eon-
tracts is absolute? Members of the Tex-
as Press Association and other men in
the business would like to know whether
the old privilege has merely become an-
other asset of the man in polities, or
whether they have been cut out entirely,
without the benefit of elergy or any oth-
er show whatever for their lives.—Dallas
News.
It is not quite clear whether the Rail-
road Commission may have the power to
warrant the railroads to grant the news-
papers transportation in exchange for
advertising, but if the commission is
competent to construe the law as to its
own authority in one case, why not in
another?
The commission is empowered to make
tates for the railroads, to say whether
the rates shall lie higher or lower
and, aorording to Mr. Colquitt, they may
be permitted to haul freight for the State
Government or its subdivisions by first
obtaining the consent anel approval of
the commission. If this be so, why may
not,the railroads make special rates for
the individual or even for tho news-
paper publishers with the same approval?

BOUQUETS FOR THE EXPRESS.
Awakening.
Was there ever a star in heaven's bright
blue
That you dreamed in your vanity shone
but for you?
Did you wish that the day would go on
wings
To give you the star that twilight brings?
Did you open your lattice to catch its
light
And feel that it watched you till morning
bright?
Did you hide this love from all the world
That came when the day its wings had
furled?
And you dreamed the star loved none
but you
And kissed your face the whole night
through,
But while sleep pressed your eyelids
down
The star's light wandered the world
around?
And kisses left like the scented dew
On eyes of black and brown and blue.
And you woke with a cry for its van-
ishing gleam,
Yet the world was better for just that
dream. —Daisy Marquis Briggs.
No medium for dissemination of news
of progress ever before met with such
a generous reception by the people as did
the Real Estate Edition' of The Daily
Express of Sunday, May 26. The press
of the State has nojeed this large edi-
tion very generally and always in a high-
ly complimentary manner. The complete-
r-ess of the story of Southwest Texas as
te*ld in that istnie of The Express was
Mich as to surprise and please even tho.se
most familiar with the great pre>gr<MSs
and ample resources of this section.
Among the comments by the newspapers
or Texas the following are a few:
♦ ♦ ♦
The San Antonio Express is a great
newspaper and its Sunday issues are
ratably interesting and creditable, but
'f he Express of las' Sunday was ahead
even of its own high standard. It had
all the splendid features of other Sun-
days and in addition wli^t might be
called an exegesis < f the progress, pros-
perity and sure promise of the Alamo
City and Southwest Texas. Page after
page of reaJing matter and illustration
told the wonderful story of what human
energy, skill, brain.- and capital can do
in the way of city anel town building,
ot industrial and agricultural develop-
n ent. The field is immense and fruitful,
it is true. How many people there are
in Texas who have no conception, 110 ap-
preciation of the ex « nt, the possibilities
of that part of th > state called "The
Southwest." These people have never
seen that section a ad therefore cannot
properly appreciate what it is. It is
vast in area, tin dimate equable, the
soil fruitful, and it is dotted with vil-
lages, te>wns and cit«-s that are growing
at a remarkable rite. Lands that a
few years ago went begging at a dollar
an acre for grazing are now farms of
astonishing fertility and selling at $10 to
$30 per acre. The Mmple truth is that
Southwest Texas is wonderful anel it is
fit that The Expros . the great paper eif
that section, should tell the story, as it
oiel last Sunday, after a manner that
did credit to the se tion and the paper
—and that is saying a great deal. —Waco
Dally Tribune.

The 84-page editior of the last Sunday's
San Antonio Expn s, with the south-
western part of the State so exhaustive-
ly advertiseel, will i.e. worth many thou-
sands of dollars t- this section of the
country. Good rest Its ought to come, to
the city of San Antonio and its people
as well as to the \arious towns occupy-
ing whole pages aid over in the special
edition. The napoi itself lias elembtlesf*

South Texas and the lower Rio Grande
ceuntry has no ahler exponent in the
Lone Star State than the San Antonio
Express, and the special number of tnot
paper whijh was i sued from their press
this Sunday morni ig will prove of ines-
• imabl3 value to the people of this sec-
tion. It will, in fict, be a ready refer-
ence book for th homeseeker and in-
vestor, as well as .1 condensed history of
this intensely pic iresque country, to
which the eyes <.f the whole United
States are turned. The demand for this
S unday's edition is inprecedentedly large
for it contains exi -tly what the people
desire to have th« ir friends and pros-
pective customers f the North and East
to know. We advise our readers who
have the true interest of the country at
heart to secure a large number of copies
and scatter thein broadcast over the
land.—Hidalgo Advance.

The San Antonio Express of Sunday
was an industrial and real estate num-
ber eontaing eighty-four pages. The en-
terprising spirit of The Express makes a

that we have material to write about and
business men anxious to tell the people
what they are doing.—Sherman Daily
Democrat.

Did you read the San Antonio Ex-
press of Sunday's issue? Or did you
see that issue of the paper? It contained
eighty-four pages that were replete with
reading matter find advertisement, the
most of which had a direct bearing on
Southwest Texas. Among tho ads. were
one setting forth what Yoakum had and
what Yoakum wanted. If you want your
friends to know what Southwest Texas
contains, buy and send them one of
there papers.—YoaKum Dally Heralel.

That special eelition of the 8an Antonio
Express of Sunday. May 26, containing
eighty-four pages, was certainly not only
a great credit to that enterprising paper
but a revelation to even the well-posted
of the wonderful resources of that large
sceion of Texas, and their rapid devel-
along all lines of industry. And

which embodies a very large amount of
valuable information on the subject. Tho
Express had a wide field from which
to gather material, and as the bee sucks
the herney from the blossoms of widely
separated trees, so has The Express
drawn from each part of this vast terri-
tory the most valuable and interesting
facts relative to each respective town a. d
county. With the widespread and rapid-
ly growing interest manifested in this
section this edition of The Express is
sure to be in great demand. Its article

The record-breaking edition of The

TIPS O. K.'D BY GOVERNMENT.
Federal Servants Authorized to Give
Waiters $102,000 a Year.
Washington—Government recognition of
the tipping habit has been given by the
auditors of the various departments in
paying expense accounts of Federal em-
ployes traveling officially. Tips amount-
ing to more than $100,000 a year have been
authorized.
So thoroughly convinced are the ac-
counting officers that tips are proper
that the word has boon passed along the
line and tho smiling waiters upon dining
cars are no longer to be discriminated
against. The dead-line heretofore has
been drawn against them, but hereafter
1'nele Sam's servant dining upon rail-
road trains will be permitted to use some
of Uncle Sam's money as tips to wait-
ers.
it is estimated that there are 4706 din-
ing cars in operation daily, and that tho
daily average of_ Government employes
on the road is 72"). Shoulel eae*h contrib-
ute the limit of 40 eents which has been
set the waiters will accumulate $290 daily
and 1'ncle Sam will have to pay mit in
the course of a year $102,850 as tips to
waiters.
MAY BE FAMOUS PAINTING.
St. Louis Man Thinks He Has Titian's
Long-Missing Picture.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 2.—Edward Sells
of St. Louis believes he has identified
a painting he purchased a year ago for
less than $100 as the famous "St. Jerome"
painted by Titian about 1531. No trace
of the painting has been had since about
JU.27.
fcells purchased the painting from Al-
lison K. Stewart, a St. Louis mining en-
gineer. to whom it was given in 1900 by
a padre in the mountains of Honduras
after Stewart had given him a liberal
offering of silver f< r his poor.
In 15.11 Titian painted "St. Jerome" by
order of Duke F'rcderigo Gonzaga of
Mantua. Before M29, when Charles I
of England bought most of tho art
treasures of the Gonzagas, the "St.
Jerome" had disappeared.
Fpon investigation Sells has learned
that when Cortez conquered Honduras
et.rly in tho fourteenth century a mem-
ber of th^ Gonzaga family accompanied
lum and remained in Honduras. It is
Sells' theory that the painting was car-
ried to Honduras by this man.
St. Louis artists estimate the value of
the painting, if it be the Titian "St.
Jerome," to be near $100,000.
