INTANGIBLE ASSETS.
Reference was made in these columns,
•ome daya ago, to the report of the en-
gineers of the Southwestern Telephone
company In which were the present and pre-
dicted future of Temple. The engineers
estimated that Temple would become a
city of something less than 26,000 inhabi-
tants ii 1928, The reasons for the cal-
culation were given, in enumeration of
commercial and business enterprises, pres-
ent and contemplated improvements, etc.
In the editorial referred to, the Daily
Telegram took issue with the report in
■ several of its statements and conclusions,
and showed that in the instances recited,
there had been overlooking of important
M facts. It was shown that the item of banks
was in error, and that wholesale business
growth was in way of fulfillment at be-
ginning of the period instead of measur-
ing the accomplishment of fifteen years
hence. In other respects the report was
analyzed in its apparent discrepancies.
Another chapter might well be devoted
to both the census and the forecast. The
hurried survey of the town did not touch
•everal things which should be included
In a basis for an estimate of growth.
Only two of several "pet" theories of
the Telegram will be referred to in this
article, and they are selected in the belief
that the engineers failed to take them into
due consideration.
3\, A® TempJeltes know, the very chief
acquisition of recent years and the one
d«l on which the hopes for cltyhood have been
*§f based even before the laying of the foun-
dations of the town, has to do with the
Santa Fe railroad. It is hoped by the
residents who have given thought to such
-J things, and is confirmed in the estimates
^2 of the officials and operatives of their
ai3 railroad, that Temple is at the threshold
not the realization of the dream of more
fo* than thirty years. It is a fact that wlth-
Ep lag the coming year, the 8anta Fe is to
<Joi Institute a traffic which will give to Tem-
bet pie an importance of incalculable valua-
tlon. It Is to give many additional fam-
Hies of high paid men, an increase in the
working/ forces of every department, and
odi *n 'nflow of money, in form of wages,
feel pfcieh Will add materially to the business
development of the city. It is not ex-
treme to estimate that within a year
an< after through traffic with the Pacific coast
J la Inaugurated. Temple will receive two
dollars from the Santa Fe far every one
dollar coming from that source now.
What the proportionate increase will be
from year to year, and what it will have
attained by 1928 are beyond power of in-
telligent forecast, but that this asset alone
r — wlU Increase the city's importance and
L, Its population in degree to largely account
|kJP,, for the estimated Increase as figured com-
ing from all sources by the telephone en-
gineers, is ,at least hoped for. This is con-
fidently believed in circles where there
la most information concerning the devel-
opments from the through traffic pro-
vision.
Another source of revenue and conse-
quent growth in all departments, and be-
llowed to hate not been given its proper
pla^a in importance in the telephone estl«
mats, has to do with country development.
4 The rich lands laying tributary to Tem-
ple are hut being '-'scratched" now, so
the farming experts declare, and ths
thousands of tillable acrss not utilised or
but partially made productive, may be ex-,
pected to yield of wealth in doubly the
degree now enjoyed. The tendency to-
ward smaller holdings and the develop-
ments of better cultural methods, may be
confidently expected to double the rural
population and to more than double the
products of the fields.
Temple always has been, and will con-
tinue to be, the 'child of the farm and
the railroad. From these two greatest
fountains of prosperity will come a growth
which it is believed was overlooked by
the compiler of the telephone estimate.
He dealt in tangibles—the biggest asset,
aside from the progressiveness of the peo-
ple themselves, is in black land and rail-
road trains. ;
If, as the compiler states, Temple will
become a city of approximately 25,000 in
fifteen years, and if it is shown that even
those things which he teok for basis of
treatment were underestimated and that
Temple in its industrial progress is al-
ready in sight of his long-range target.
How much more may the citizenship take
courage when they realize that the chief
assets were entirely overlooked, or treat-
ed without insight into the real conditions
and prospects for the Immediate future.
Temple has been laying foundations for
the past five years, and has been growing
some at the same time. She is beginning
to realize on her investments of money
and of faith, and it is not extravagant to
predict that the fifteen year stake, set by
the telephone engineers, will be reached
by the time the period has half expired.
Temple is too fortunately located to never
develop more than a little retail business,
never to become more of a financial center,
never to manufacture, never to benefit
by railroad extensions and farm develop-
ments except in ratio of paBt growth in
those lines. *
Temple will, under ordinarily favorable
conditions, pass the 25,000 mark before
the next federal census is taken.

When a majj tells you that he never goes
to sleep in church, it doesn't, necessarily
indicate that he belongs to ths wide-awake
bunch. It may simply mean that he doesn't
go to church.
We don't know much about life in the
^rger cities, but the, way we understand
it is that when a man who has been liv-
ing in a mansion moves into a flat it
means that he has gone flat broke.
The analytical publication of the late
census in Texas, shows that the state
has over a million men of voting age.
and that there are 109 men to every 100
women. If it ever should come to tha test
as between political parties with sex as
the dividing line, the men would still lule
the roost.
From London comes reports of mcbs

have been merely a figure of speech.
It's corn planting time in Texas now,
and every good farmer always tries to
get his seed in the ground by March 20th.
So far. the weather has been splendid for
planting—not for everyday work in Lhe

land in shape and the seed in. The oc-
cational showers have served good pur-
pose in keeping the land from baking, and
The new nickel, with the buffalo on one
side and the Indian on the other, may
be "artistic," but it lacks much of being
either pretty or designative. What strikes
the average person with wonder, is the
design of the buffalo. It may be a buf-
falo all right but those of us who have
seen the animal in life never did note one
with a man's head. Probably the "artist"
was seeking to perpetuate the fame of
Buffalo Bill, and stuck an "artistic con-
ception" of the old scout's poll on the body
of the animal which Is associated with his
name. /

The Loafers' Club was holding its Usual
Session of Useless Conversation, and the
talk turned on the place that the name of
William J. Bryan will occupy in American
history:
First Loafer—My idea is that Bryan
will be known chiefly as the man who put
the "me" in the political programme.
Second Loafer—I take it that he will be
known as the man who pUt the "paign" in
the republican campaigns.
Third Loafer—Personally, I am a great
admirer of the new secretary of state, and
haven't a word of criticism for him, but
there will always be some envious persons
who will claim that he was the man who
put the "I" in cabinet.
Fourth Loafer—Fellows, you may be
right about it, but I don't think so. Bryan

THE DREAM IMMORTAL.
(Bentztown Bard, in Baltimore Sun.)
Love, the dream immortal,
Light that never dies.
One with morns of splendor,
One with twilight skies,
Stars and moon of summer?
Birds on boughs of spring;
The brilliant blush of autumn.
The winter's sombre wing.
The hope, the light, the promise,
, The song, the sob, the tear,
The musio and the laughter.
The sunshine and the cheer.
The sun beyond the sunset.
The moon beyond the moon.
The song beyond the shadow.
The rose beyond the June.
The purpose and the passion.
The power behind the plan;
Love, the old, old fashion
Within the soul of man.
Streams by the wayside flowings,
Vines on the hillsides green;
The known and the unknowing,
And all the spells between.
Love, the dream immortal.
The ecstacy, the charm;
The witchery of white shoulders.
The mould of marble arms.
The eye light and the twilight.
The pattern and the loom;
The highlight and the skylight.
The saving and the doom.
Fields and brooks of springtime.
Meadows and dells of dew;
The pink rose of the wingtime
Of red birds and of blue.
Elation and uplifting.
The leader and the led—
The one dream onward drifting
When all the rest ere dead.

Interstate shipments of liquor into pro-
hibition territory.
There is no doubt that one of the
reasons which strongly Influenced the vote
was the fact that there was directly involv-
ed the question of states' rights and local
self-government. The law pointedly re-
flects the conviction that when the peo-
ple of any aUte or subdivision of a state
have declared that liquor shall not be sold
within Its limits the general government
has no right to employ the interstate com-
merce clause of the constitution to nulli-
fy the will of that people. This is Justice
and common sense, and, as The Chronicle
believes, good law.
Another reason for the vote, and the
main reason, was that the congressmen
had heard, from the people. They knew
it reflected overwhelming public senti-
ment. They knew the people wonld no
longer tolerate defiance of the popalar
will and a trampling on the fundamental
principles of local self-government.

Modern Woman's Way!
There are modern women, in business as in
"mission" sense.
The really "Modern Woman" is a business wo-
man. She conducts her business affairs, keeps
track of her trading and shopping transactions,
and "catches the stride" of progress.
She deals with the bank.
The banker is her business counsellor and her
bookkeeper—without fee. His outlook is wider
than hers, and he is a responsible, conservative,
safe man to deal with, in great majority of cases.
