THE RAILROAD WEDGE.
If memory fails not, the original
cause of the uprising In China wis
opposition on the part of the people
nut in the high place, to the grant
ing of railroad concession* to tor-
signers, and the building ot roretgn-
uwned roads throughout the empire
Just how well the prejudice of ttie
Chinks was founded may be interred
from the request which now comes
from the American minister in China,
that the government troops- be sent
into the interior of that country to
protect railroads in which Americana
bold financial interests.
If the United States sends soldiers
/or protection of property, every oth-
er power may be expected to do the
same thing, until the country will
he In virtual possession of the arniec
soldiers of foreign nations.
The building of railroads In for-
eign countries is a wedge which
tv arly always ends In the subjuga-
tion of those nations. The Investors
In auch securities take long risks and
. expect big profits. They should not
be permitted to use the armies of
their countries In protection of such
Investment?. It is to be hoped that
the United States will refuse to forc-
ibly Invade China, and that the
country will not be called upon to
spend more money In defending In-
vestments of a few of her high finan-
ciers than the properties themselves
are Worth. There are abundant
fields of activity in America for all
the Ajnerlenn money seeking Invest-
ment," without building railroa^ on
other continents and Involving the
country In either wars or disreputa-
ble practices.
The Dallas News says, in reporting
the words of a distinguished cltisen
of that city, that the improvement
of the Trinity rivet will result in big
benefits to the entire state. In rail-
road rate reductions. It Is just
about as apt to have that effect as
the coming of a new blacksmith
shop in Temple would result In the
steel trust lowering the prices of Its
product*. The Tr-nlty Is all right.
In Its place, and so Is the Braros.
but neither stream can be expected
to influence railroad transportation
in Texas. Railroads might make
lower rates at competitive points,
were the owners of water craft to re-
verse human nature and carry freight
for as little as possible rather than
for as much as thty could get. But
water transportation is not competi-
tive, even where streami are natur-
ally navigable. Louisiana towns do
not enjoy low rates on account of the
proximity of, the mighty • MiMirsippl
Itself, andlhat great waterway is all
but deserted of boats. As long as
the Mississippi is not utilised, and
as long as tb<> wharves of cities along
the Ohio and Missrurl are rotting,
what hope Is there for railroads to
reducj rates on account of a flatboat
being able, during high water sea-
sons, to make i's way to the gulf,
from Dallas or Waco? The benefit
Texas can hope for in the expendit-
ure of millions of g vernment money
eti those streans is in the sharing of
"pork barrel" benefits Deep water
Statesmanship is popular at the
points where the pork barrel Is tip-
ped, and at those points only,

htad of Urge fcuslnt-ss Institutions
who began at the bottum and worked
up t-» the'r present greatness than in
any like-.it<«- city In Texas. Pr->mi-
nen< in tbW list Is Mr. W. A. Brady
of the Br.vK & Black Hardware com-
pany, one ct the largest r'tail hard-
ware conccus in Central Texas.
Mr. Brtuif, in bis early manhood—
aud' that has not been many years
ago—was a capable hardware sales-
man, and bis merit a's such enabled
him at all times to draw a spkndid
salary. Accumulating a small sum
from the si'vings of his salify, he
termed a partnership with Mr. D. A.
black, another experienced hardwaie
man, and the two have built up one
of tbe moBi prosper us hardware in-
stitutions in this stctlon of tho coun-
try. The.. Oo not c nfine themselves
to the retail business, but do a con-
siderable wholesale business in this
tf rrh'ory.
Mr. Brady is a man of fine business
judgment ind tan appreciate a busi-
ness propcsitlon when it appeals, at'd
in consideration cf this fact and his
position in Temple's commercial life,
his opitikm was sought In tegard to
the Commercial club and its work,
for this yt*r. He was found in his
office checking up the invoice o? a car
of agricultural implements which had
just I^en received, and wheni question-
ed, looked up and preceded al^ng
(his line:
"You have had many" very fine sug-
gestions in Jiour intervi ws rega-ding
the Commercial ciub, but t find one
point has been overlooked, and I will
give you some tips regarding it. I
have seen the statement made la one
or two of the interviews that "Temple
has abaut reached its zenith as an
agricultural t wn.' To this 1 shall
have to demur. With the proper ef-
fort I believe that wc can attract at
leaat another half million dollars in
trade ftoia the retail terriiory adja-
cent to Temple. I "think the Commer-
cial club should give greater atten-
tion to this feature during this y^ar,
I think there should be a strong com-
mittee a ppointed to give this feature
utndlvlded S'.tei.Mon.
"I have been agreeablet surprised
that a great number of the farmers
quit; an interest in the
interviews that have appeared In the
Telegram recently and havo signified
their appreciation of the Commercial
club. I think the mo»; valuabl work
ct the Commercial club Js the atten-
tion given to the agricultural inter-
ests of our territory. 1 am in favor
of keeping up this work, as the far-
mer stands with Temple on all pro-
gressive iu:as thait a e for mutual1
beiiefit.

au impoit int adjunct to a city
tbe proper interest is tak n in itjs af-
fairs by hi buslncs'i men, its work is

will feel the effects cf Ws ai tiviticw.
I wouM suggest to th.< new direc-
t-crs of th < Commercial club for this
year the appointment cf one cf the
strongest committees possible !wr the
expansion of our tetail trade. The
men who v.. 11 compos, ^hia committee
should begin wcik at once and fceep
busy the eiti:e year, and the business
and if ] uian baa b tu loyal ai>J co-operative,
and as a result tbe record <>/ the ciub j
sr»e«4s for itself, and, as for that, Is j
still talking
There Is uo doubt in rn.'i mind that
tbe co-menu<ial organization has paid
tbe city cf Templii, many times over,
in dollars and cents, ou its invest-
ment., but that in vest tMr.t. ba^ n>o4
been in proportion to the size of the
city, its possibilities or its organi-
zation.
I believe the scope of thu orgaoi-
iiietitutlons cf the city will feel the
effects of the work all tho time. There
are many pood plans that can be
worked out by'a good committee, and
if we can bring additional trade in
from the country, with the many largo
pay rolls we .haijf aad should have.
Temple woura be the best retail city
In Texas, or anywhere else. I am
anxious to see the commercial club j
become active along well defined
Ifits."

There 's a vast amount of money-
invested in business Institutions In
Temple by people who ari non-resi-
dents. Fo- instance, the two oil
mills, the ice factory, the compress,
the oil depots, the light paint, the1
two telephone eompaili s, and nu-!
merous oihers, and when the mana-
gers of these institutions are enum-
erated It will be Wound that there was
never concentrated a more progress
ive and lioeral bunch of managers.
Think it over for a mlrjute and see
If this siatement is not absolutely
correct. Siejsner of the Temple Cot-
ion Oil company; Walker ~f th.? Cen-

Southwest' rn Te;eph..n» company;
Reed of the Rotan CJracery company,
and Khe mar/y others, constitute a
bunch of managers the like of which
can not b? found in any city oa
earth.
The Telegram has contained inter-
views wltn several of these gentle-
men regarding the Commercial club
and its work, and meeting Mr. J. M.
Car:oli on: the street yesterday, it
xeem^d tba.- the system of inter-
zatloH must be enlarged; ia i* fund*
must be available, more enthusiastic
members e-lded and more 'ginger' in-
jected int: the whole, and It should
be in. a strong position JK> go after
everything iu sight in 1912, with a
confidence born or the new loyalty
and ba king of Its memb r*.
"The clua, I believe, now has about
100 mumbers, or lees than one per
cent of tb'j population. This is not
ioad as compared with the Dallas or-
ganization, whose 1000 members are
equal to about 1 per ceot, but I be-
lieve oar ciub cam be increased to

paign about to commence, as Up. men

that is a i mssity to every business
man, every pn'fessional roan, and ev-
ery employe 1n every kind of Indus-
try, for all will be affected directly
oi indirectly by the success of the
rejuvenated club. In a wotd, I be-
lieve every man lu Temple should
be a commercial club m mber. To Il-
lustrate what I think the new club
can d*o. linen tc this: As a result
of a development stud;i I made i \
lalO to fin l tbe amount of the Invest-
ment that would be required to pro-
vide telephone facilities for Temple
iu 1915, I figured that the pc.pulatlor
at tha.'. tiroj would be 13,©00, and t-b3t
we would have one aoven-story, one
Btx-sloty and three five-story build-
ings to wire, besides an additional
200 first-class and 600 secotd-ciaas
houses to reach; this without any
change In the club gs it stands. Now
then, 1 am convinced that a new.
a>. ronge-r, bigger and sejf-confldent
Cbaml.e r of Commerce, with Its sec-
retary higA In the councils of the
commercial secretaries ot the state
—as Mr. Wo.dall is—will cause my
figures to be doubled, and that possi-
bly a gr at foundry, a wagwm factory
snd a brick kiln will be added.
"My comapny has held member-
ship In the organization for sever*!
years and is well satisfied with past
restlks, but I have recommended that
our contribution be IncMased Approx-
imately 200 per cent, and believe that

The board, in Us executive session,
was occupy iug a room in the city ball,
While their own rooms at police bead-
quarters were being repaired From
the high windows of their room a shot
rang out and a hoarse and threaten-
when |ng voice could be heard shouting an-
grily as they hurried to tbe windows.
On the wide lawn of the hall and al-
most below them stood a man bran-
dishing a revolver and evidently
crazed with drink. He was grinning
and waving his arius wildly in triumph
as be gesticulated at the figure of an-
other man who was lying on the side-
walk, moving not at all. Across tbe
lawn, coming toward blm with the la-
bored baste ot age. was Patrolman
McCarthy, the veteran guardian of tbe
grounds about the ball. Tbe old officer
was clearly In distress from bis hurry,
but was fumbling under the tails of his
coat as he ran, doggedly, toward the
man with the woapon, who bad
dropped hie gesticulation and atood
gazing at him with bead slightly for-
ward, swaying slightly from the influ-
ence of liquor, but evidently keyed up
to any frenzied deed, as could be seen
from his attitude.
It's that mulatto, Rogers, just out
of the penitentiary.'' remarked tbe
president of the board, as calm'/ as
though another tragedy was not im-
pending; be was sent up for homi-
cide—now he's out and craze^d with
drink again." There was no time to
say more. Tbe mulatto had drawn
himself erect and was slowly raising
his arm to aim at McCarthy, who, still
tugging to get his refractory weapon
from bis pocket, was panting gamely
across the lawn.
"Poor Mac!" said the president un-
der bis breath and started to turn
away his head—for he had known the
veteran officer for years and could not
bear to see what was coming. Then
he suddenly whirled to the window
igaln at the vice president's cry:
"Look! Look!" shouted that official.
Uut of the door of the hall beneath
them darted Farrell, whose leap down
the stairs from tbe anteroom had de-
tained bim but a few seconds. In his
band 1. held a revolver—a lengthy,
heavy police weapon, which he han-
dled with accustomed air. Almost un-
consciously, tbe commissioners glanced
at the mufhtto, who had turned at the
sound of tbe door slamming, and
whose baleful face, as he glared at Far-
rell, made them shiver with Its In-
tensity of insane ferocity—then they
turned toward Farrell who bad leaped
lightly out on the lawn and quickly,
tfmoju blithely, waa approaching the
■nan. Through the windows they coiild
'ven catch the officer's clear laugh of
contempt
"Put down that gun, you d—d nig-
ger, or I'll send you where you be-
long!" he shouted in a sneerlngly
peremptory tone. "Drop it. I say! If
that gun ain't on the lawn when I
reach that walk you get what's comln'
to you!"
Under the commanding tones the
mulatto had hesitated for a moment
—then he raised his weapon with a
glgre of hate in his eye and leveled It
at Farrell. And at the same Instant
Farrell leaped boldly forward on to
the walk he* had defined as a boundary
and threw up hla own revolver with a
rapid, snake-like gesture—but before
be could press the trigger, the mulatto,
succumbing under the cold gleam of
the eye which shone down the barrel,
had dropped his weapon and cringed
shivering with fright, his hands in
the air, a pitiable shred of the danger-
ous murderer who had stood there but
a moment before.
Lowering his arm with the revolver,
but keeping the cocked weapon by his
side, the policeman walked quickly Up
to his prisoner, kicking the fallen
weapon far across the lawn, and ran a
practiced hand over his clothes.
"He don't seem to be armed, Mac,"
he aaid, as the older man hastened up;
"you might lead him to the box. Oh,"
he added, aa the mulatto, through
nervous tension or else because of the
fumes of the drink reasserting them-
selves. made a plunge backward, "the
gent seems to prefer to ride." * And,
lowering the hammer of hla own re-
volver with the hand that clutched
the . weapon, he sent a smash across
the man's forehead that stretched him
senseless on the lawn.
You'll have to call an ambulance
for this man he shot, anyway," re-
marked Policeman Farrell cheerfully
to McCarthy; "but you won't find him
badly hurt. I saw a piece of his coat
fly up when tbe nigger fired and I
think the bullet must just have grazed
nls right shoulder."
Then, without watting for the ap-
proach of the morbid throng which
! plied.
There was silence for a moment as
tbe president concluded. Then he
arose.
"Officer," be said as be tore the
charges into slips, " my colleague and
I have had a few minutes of dlacu-
ston before we called you in aft«r wit-
nessing your work In view of jtaur
recent performance, w:e not only dis-
miss these charges, hut will see if
there is any ground for malice be-
hind them—well?"
Patrolman Farrell had risen to his
feet and in a husky voice that coufd
scarcely be heard bad raised his hand
in Interruption
"Those charges aln l malicious, gen-
tlemen-—they're true." he whispered
For several moments nothing could
be beard In the board room save the
beavy breathing of the patrolman,
(lore be raised an anguished face and
moaned
"Gentlemen—If you'll give me a mo
ment—if you'll give me a chance io do
what's right!"
Again there wss silence. No*, a
member of the hoard stirred as tbe
big policeman pressed his hands
against his face In a strong effort tu
control his emotions Tben, with a
gulping sound, Farrell straightened
himself and commenced to speak in a
hard, expressionless voice.
"its the truth, gentlemen; I'm a
coward. I've tried not to show it, but
I've done it I've always been that
way. W hen I was a boy, I bad a step-
father—he used to come borne drunk
and beat me—beat me 'til the doctor
said my nervous system was shattered.
At school, I was l/lgger than most boys
of my age an' stronger. Yet smaller
boys could lick me Homethlu' seemed
to turn io water In me, when I weut
to fight back. 1 would lose my
strength. In all my fights, gentlemen.
I was licked. I grew up that way—
and you don't know what it means to
a boy, year after year. I loat confi-
dence In myself—couldn't do anything
as well as the rest An' It's told on
me, it's told on me!
"1 learned how to use a revolver—
the drill sergeant can show you my
record. When my mother and I moved
here, I thought I'd leave ail tbe Old
life behind me. It didn't take any
bravery in me to kill that steer you
read about just now! 1 can shoot, so
he never had a chance. I could have
dropped that drunken nigger out there,
before be ever raised a gun. That
wasn't bravery. Yet I let those fellows
up In my precinct bluff me, because
I couldn't use a revolver In a little
scrap like that—an' If I'd fought them
I'd have been licked, strong as I am
1 It's the old yellow streak, comln' back
Them charges are right, gentlemen.
I'm a "coward."
Tbe officer burled his face la his
hands again. For an Instant no one
spoks. Then the president arose
softly, and put his hand on the police-
man's shoulder.
"No man wboee nervous system has
been shattered can say he has a yellow
streak, after the way you've acted,
Farrell," he said, slowly. "You've sim-
ply been at a disadvantage all your
life and don't realise now that you are
on an even footing with any adver-
sary. You have the law behind you as
well. You are not a coward, either
It took moral courage to tell us what
you've just done, and we need moral
courage In this department, just aa we
need the physical kind of bravery. You
haven't found yourself, that's all.
"Now, listen. The charges are dis-
missed. I will see you are made a
deek man until you appreciate what I
say—that confidence in yourself is
what you want and that you will be
aupported when you do your dnty. Do
you want to try this new. run?"
Policeman Farrell lifted his head
and his eyes were wet.
"I'd like to, sir," he said almply;
"and 1 hope. Ood wfllin', that if I cotne
before ye again, it won't be as Farrell
the eoward "
!t was at the next quarterly meeting
of the board that the president, with
a grim chuckle, read the account of a
capture of two armed Itailana, badly
wanted as witnesses In a "black hand"
case, by a policeman who bad knocked
them down with his night stick and
had dragged them to a patrol box
through a shrieking mob of the prison-
ers' friends, who had been deterred by
1 the officer'* demeanor from trying to
rescue his captives.
"The officer's name Is Farrell." re-
marked the president slowly. "I rather
think, gentlemen, that the young man
has found himself." .
