The Post ax tends Its boartieat eoa-

apoa the eerasioa of fulrst UaalTeraary

brightest. haadaoaMat aad moat jKoanle-

waa bora a rear ego wjtb a full eat of

pected to Br la tha tropica. It hi a fact
that the Herald caaa among ua wearing

public oplnioa and called for Its Uckar
straight
Yon that day to this the Herald haa
been a hammer ta all the saentiali of
aa up-to-date rigorous enterprising
eleaa ajttracjrr newspaper. It Hi true
that tt has made many errors common
to yowth but these we bars from time
to time corrected. Wa bar remored
many of its wioasoaa tmpraasiona con-
cerning matters of hlatortoal moment.
For Instance aay maa who will aseart
now in the Herald sanctum that Andrew
Jackson wss not bora m North parottma
will be thrown out Likewise tha gen-
tdaeoess of the MecUanWg Declaratloa
of ladepeadenoa la one of the stancbsst
aaka la tta platform of principle.
The Herald ha also learned mack
about Texas and at tha same time for-
gottoa araeh about Coosa rrrer catfish.
The religious department of tha Herald
faithfully teaches the euhtlme truth that
the Qardea of Idea waa located ta Texas
aad Is therefore well abreast with tha-
teachings of the standard theological in-
stitutions of tha next generation.
It hi rare that a staff of such rarsatritty
has beea assembled to any sanctum. The
fine literary tone of the paper Is of
course obtained from Indiana tta scien-
tific romancing or aaiure-fahing Is of
the Georgian strain and its claim to the
Urgent circulation m Washington caa be
accepted because It has a Texas circula-
tion manager Texas being the finest
truth center ta all the world. Anyway
If there la anything In the world worth
knowing there la somebody oa the Herald
wbo know t; If there is anything worth
getting somebody on the paper can get
It; aad when it Is necessary to prore
anything why there Is the Texas dreu-
latkm manager wbo has nerer told a lie.
Tbe Post again extends its charming
contemporary and all the able men
whose brains and energy make It a thou-
sand eoagratnlatlons and 124.S0e.Qu0 beat

Joyed tbe paper aa much aa it haa been
enjoyed ta this sanctum. It haa created
mora oolld happiness for its circulation
than aay newspaper in the world and lta

be one of Immeasurable usefulness and
glory.
THE COITEST Of THE CUNTURY
We had determined to become wroogM
to th Mrfroat possible pitch of excite-
ment over the baseball world's cham-
pionship series bow being played be-
tween tbe team of Detroit and Chicago.
B&cttemeat of that kind I highly ex-
hilaratlng. area though It generally
leave a feeling of depression and lassi-
tude afterward. But we drop the base
ball match right at this point and will !
aot evea bother tbe sporting editor to j
tell us tbe score. Colonel Trentem may '
from this time forward so far as we ar
concerned enjoy a complete monopoly
of baseball anxiety. Our interest anx- I
iety and solicitude shall all ba held In j
reserve for that more thrilling contest
which we are Informed is abortly to take
L place In Congressman RasadeiTs cotton
patch In North Louisiana.
When th president of the United
States with his characteristic' Intrepidity
dares to tackle a Louisiana aegro In a
cotton-picking match for six hours then
oar attenUoB is riveted on the cotton
field sod the baseball contest may go
to tbe dertl. Nor do we fear that we
ahall be alone in a keen ta teres in thi
novel contest Confidently it I expected
that all the people of the country and
of tb whole world will watch this most
novel struggle.
Some people may think the proposed
contest Is in some respect unequal) but
not we. Our coin shall go on Ue strea-
woue one. A maa who has performed
the physical marvels which adorn his
aettre record stay evea make a new ree-

auaa ef torn wholly obvioua sad clearly ac-
cent state aunt mads by them will appre-
ciate our feeling w an aura. Under usual
ilnuiaatiiiis we would be aa likely to at-
tempt t puB tb cocklebur from th tail ef a
Brazoria county mule a to tender aaytking
as news to the Texaa paper. To do ao would
be to intimate that then tt something it does
aot know and w would expect as great a
raanif eetatieu of gratitude aad appreciation
ia "such an event as in the case of the mule
and doubtless of much the same sort How

it and shall be prepared to meet the conse-
quences be they what they may.
Briefly the rabbit of Texas once one of
the most numerous of tbe wild snimsls with
which the early settlers hsd to contend and
still recognized aa a fierce treacherous and
unprincipled beast ever ready to take advan-
tage of a tingle moment of lark of watchful-
ness on the part of the own whe ban learned
to tubdoe it a being rapidly exterminated
by reason of its widespread use ss black bass
bait Now from our standpoint this fa not
a it should be. We should remember the
hunters most eminent ef whom is our ener-
getic president. The Loursiana-bred bear ex-
pert of the New York Sun thinks Mr. Roose-
velt will be disappointed in the bruin output
of tbe Pelican State canebrakes and every-
body knows that big game ia becoming scarcer
and scarcer elsewhere each year. Some day 1
then will be no more and what will the hunt-
en do then poor things? We submit there-
fore that the rabbit despite its bad record
be net exterminated by such cruel and bizarre V
methods aa an now resorted to by Texas
fishermen but preserved and permitted to
roam the plains so that in the days to come
then will be big game for the big hunters to
train. Of course we would not hare the bass
fishermen forego the pleasure of their sport
aad we realise that the baaa ia not to be lured
aa an torn other fish th famous Houston

for the problem those fact present and hen

"Limburrer cheese ami tried aa fish bait
