OPPORTUNITY 13 PAStlNO.
slvery American Cltlxen Should Become
Owner of Home.
To the Editox:
The darkest day for the American peo-
ple will be In that hour when they awake
to find that the homes qf our fathers have
passed Into the hands of strangers.
So long as the American people own
their own homes Just so long will they
be considered a great and powerful na-
tion. Like the bees that swarm the -people
are coming to America from every quar-
ter of the globe. Ther buy our land we
move to the cities ana soon It will come
to pass that your sons and your daugh-
ters will labor for the foreigner.
A nation without homes so long as
they remain In Ignorance like the ox at
the plow or the bird In the cage they
males no complaint but when the day
of Ignorance is over and the sun of lib-
erty shows to the people a new light
then it is that demands are made on
fovernments and a failure to listen to
hese demands Is the cause of most
revolutions.
There is today 1153000000 in tne nanus
of Texas. The owners of this wealth
should Invest it In homes or aid those
who are not able to acquire homes oth-
erwise this country will be taken by the
foreigner without the flrfng of a gun.
A nation to prosper must Invest her
Wealth In homes.
(That nation whose people hoard their
wealth In banks and refuse to Invest It
will see much poverty much suffering
and much misery. The wolf will snarl
at many people and the voice of poverty
will be heard In the land.
Vhen money seeks a hiding place It
la then the nation suffers. Money wss
made to Invest and not to hoard.
Our best cltlaens are the men who
have confidence in real estate invest-
ments in their citle in their counties
in their State and me man who would
discourage real estate Investments is an
enemy to prosperity.
The plan of putting every dollar you
make In the banks Is a dangerous plan
and works a hardship on the people.
If you want to see the people of any
city or village made happy I would sug-
Kwt that you adopt the sane plan of
ndlng your savings to your neighbor.
The object of every man who has
money should be to keep that money in
circulation. If the wealth of our coun-
try was put In circulation tomorrow we
would hear songs Instead of sighs we
would hear laughter Instead of weeping.
The days of speculation have passed.
The time has come when you must get
a home and when you get It you must
keep it and let not the strange man with
a strange tongue take from you the old
home you loved so well.
I wish that I could say halt to the
American people and they would stand
at attention Just long enough for me to
point to the army of 1000.000 foreigners
which lands on our shores every year. I
wish I could make them aee the hand-
writing on the wall and understand that
their opportunity to get a home will soon
be gone forever. D. L. Graham.

THI UNCHARITABLE CLERQY.
How Ststewlde Has Led Them Away From
the Teachings of ths BIWe.
To the Editor :
The clergy preach charity and practice
uncharlty. They preach: "Judge not that
ye be not Judged; for with what Judgment
ye Judge ye shall be judged"; but they'
Judge others with a most harsh and un-
just Judgment. They should carefully and
prayerfully ponder that Scripture which
says "Thou art Inexcusable O man who-
soever thou art that Judgest: for wherein
though Judgest another thou condemnest
thyself. r
Our clergy pose before the people as the
uniform embodiment of charity when In
fact most of them are as destitute of
charity as a hyena.
Charity "thlnketh no evil." Listen at
this from the editor of Home and State
In an editorial about the dally papers of
Texas: "They own up that the salon la
an evil and there is no good in It and that
they sympathise with the purpose and
fim of prohibitionists but take the posi-
tion that their remedy Is a failure why
Is this? Simply because the brewer and
the saloon man have dead reads of money
to dump Into the coffers of these papers.
Thus he with one fell swoop of his pen
dipped In the gall and bitterness of State-
wide prohibition acrimony scribbles down
the harsh and uncharitable Judgment of
his Inmost soul against the motive of the
dally papers of the State simply because
they do not agree with him on the ques-
tion of Statewide prohibition. How does
such a course as this by one who poses
as being one of the leading men of Ood
quadrate with that part of the sermon
on the Mount which says "Judge not
1 tlyU ye be not Judged"? How does It Jibe
In the way of charitableness with that
Scripture which says "Charity thlnketh
no evil"? v
And the editor of Home of Rt i t
this respect no exception to the rule that
obtains In the theological ranks lined UO
for Statewide prohibition. They have an
gone mad and run pell-mell clear out of
the Bible and gone helter-skelter far be-
yond the pale of ita teachings In every
respect they have no regard for what

the Bible says concerning the ltauer ques-
tion and hare become wholly disregard
ful of ita InstrueUone as to the spirit la
-which they should treat their fellow men
Henoe they are uncharitably Impugning
the motives or every man in Texaa who
does not bow down to their Statewide
Iftnougntfur men and women can see
too Other good reason for repudiating tM
doctrine of Statewide prohibition than the
affect that the spirit of It has had upon
the preachers it seems that this of It-
self should be all sufficient to convince
them that It Is mischievous and In
famous thing. The spirit of John Barley
corn Is bad enough but ths spirit of
Statewide prohlbltfon must be far worse
since we see that It haa chased all oi
the charity eut of the heart Of our
preachers and driven them clear out of
reach of the Bible's Instructions aj to
how they should treat their neighbors and
fellow-men.
' It would be no mora ancharl table In
those who art opposed to Btatewide pro-
hibition if they should say that our
preactters are laboring for Statewide pro-
hibition as agents upon the pay roll of
boot-leggers than It la In our preacher
to say that the opponents of Statewide
prohibition are fighting against Statewide
prohibition for the money tbey get from
the breweries and saloon men.
The saloons are bad but Statewide pro-
hibition Is worse for It haa not only eor-S
rupted the good manners of our preachers
and led them but ef and clear away from
the teachings of that good ol'took that
they claim God called and aL fthem to
preach but It will. If Tt ctfn run fast
enough to win the race let down the
bars for the blind tigers and boot-legger
to walk in and help themselves.
But while we are prone to differ on
public questions) htr us not rage at each
other over our differences like a set of
heathens but let's Strive to cultivate
charity in our hearts Instead of uprooting
It and planting hate In It place.

INITIATIVE REFERENDUM RECALL.
Mr. Pastorlza Thinks It the Cur for
Many Political Evils.
To the Editob :
From The Post which reaches me
dally t le&rn with satisfaction dr the
many good things projected to make of
greater Houston a better Houston. I
have been three weeks on this model
Jersey farm of our former fellow-cltisen
H. F. King. I came here to rest but had
not been on Ue farm twenty-four hours
when I found myself doing and enjoying
the real work of the farm.
I've kept it up a part of every day
since.
I have read during the pest two
months an unusual number of articles
In The Post against the Initiative refer-
endum and recall. This activity comes
in face of the fact that the initiative
referendum and recall have recently been
made a part of the constitutions of
twelve States and a part of the charters
of 'most every city which has adopted
the commission form of government. In
fact a city Is no longer considered as
having the commission form of govern-
ment unless the Initiative referendum
and recall are adopted.
This democratic principle is being at
tacked by politicians and by laymen
both' of whom being afraid to trust the.
people rush Into print w:th a condemna-
tion of this the most progressive govern-
mental reform of the Twentieth century.
The politician objects because he Is afraid
that If the people have this power they
will oontrol his actlens as the wise fath-
er controls the actions of a vicious son.
The layman Objects because he fears
the people will take away some special
privilege or make It more difficult for
him to secure legal advantage over hi
fellowmaa.
One of our prominent Texas politician
objects he says that the initiative ref-
erendum and recall are not democratic
while I advocate It because I think it
pure democracy. Now who Is correct?
Ths aforesaid politician falls- to define
Ms democracy. 11 ne did wny ne mignt
be right from his point of view. I will
define my brand tf democracy and leave
It to my readers to decide whether or
not I am right In advocating the Initia-
tive referendum and recall because I be-
lieve It democratic and because I believe
that we have arrived at a point In our
political existence when we need more
democracy than we have had in the past
and that this reform will give It to us.
I believe that when that great demo-
crat said "Democracy was a government
of for and by the people" he really meant
what he aald. For the benefit of the lay-
man who scribbles for the press without
studying his question I say that I think
this definition of democracy means that
while the people are willing to elect rep-
resentatives with power to enact laws
they reserve to themselves the power to
regulate their representative's actions by
forcing the enactment of such laws as
they want. If their representatives refuse
to enact them.. This act Is called the
Initiative. That looks democratic don't
It? It's the people ruling themselves.
Second the people want to reserve the
light to veto any bill or law which they
consider vicious that has already been
passed by their representatives. This Is
railed the referendum. The people give
our governor the power to veto a law.
Now If the people nave the right to coni-
fer this great power on our governor by
what democratic reasoning ran you deny
the people the light to exercise this same
power themselves? Who will advocate
that a free people shall tie their hands
and again be bondsmen by giving to their
rulers all their power of self-government
without retaining the whip handle.
Third the people want to reserve the
right which all employers of men possess
to discharge at any time any on of their
representatives (employes) when he fall
to do his duty as the 'people their em-
ployer see It and not a he sees It him-
self.! I can not but believe that the man who
object to thlt kind of democratic gov-
ernment la a man who prefer a mon-
archy to a democracy; particularly If he
can be the monarch.
First he I afraid that he can riot do
right and ha objects to the people re-
serving to themselves the power to make
him do right.
Second lie thinks. In Ms vanity that
he know better what I good for the peo-
ple than they do themselves. '
Third he feels that he Is a sort of
god Infallible and above criticism or cor-
rection .
In conclusion. I pray that the Good
Lord will recall such men as the above
who are In power and deliver us in the
future from the election rb office of such
elf-created perfect men. Amen. '

A' group of Houaton negroes la cir-

of laatic friction. "TtteV ha not

Is trying worth while? Often when
the result of soma effort seems to fall
far short of your ambition and the hour
or day or week of prolonged labor seeia
to have been useless haven't yen asked
yourself the question "I trying worth

80 many thing In this life apparently
go wrong that sometimes ws grow Just
a little tired and wonder if It wouldn't
be just as well to take life easy and let
the days slip along Just "any old way."
But after all each effort though w
fall makes us stronger for th next on.
A the child toddles a few Steps da

and not hope to swing Into th stride 'of
great achievements all at onoe. '
Fix your eyes on high things and If
you slip back and seem not to have
gained the heights hoped for grit your
teeth and try again.
After a few trials the way win seem
easier and the goal not so far away.
When a child did not an elephant seem
about the biggest thing you ever saw?
But when you've grown to manhood or
womanhood It doesn't seem nearly as
formidable.
80 as we grow morally and mentally
larger the tasks that seemed of such
gigantic proportions dwindle to mere
nothings as they are accomplished. So
It Is worth while to try. The man or wo-
man who Is content to be as they are
with no wish to grow as the world grows.
Is the man or Woman who- in a few years
finds that he has grown old and behind
the times and wonders why they can't
keep up with the crowd.
Don't give up. Keep on trying and
show your mettle In the race that lead
to great things well done.
A thought Is often original though you
have uttered It a hundred times. Holmes.

Miss Helen Taft promises to establish
a record for social success at the White

father. From the start there haM hot
been the slightest doubt as to her per-

that Airs. Taft needed her; the sacrifice
was made and following her debut. She
has swung Into the multitudinous social
duties in a manner which has not failed
to win praise and to bring much comfort
to her mother at this time.

for her every day somewhere. More than
that so much In demand Is she that Mlse

that in a few weeks better than two

Tip' Mlstsk.
(By Edith Havens.)
Tip was an Angora kitten who when he
was curled up on the rug looked like a
ball of silky wool Instead of the crea-
ture of life and gayety that he was when
awake. He had been presented on Christ-
nias to Marietta the smallest girt In the
family and on that occasion he had
worn around hi neck a violet ribbon tied
In a huge bow that was more becoming
than comfortable while attached to th
handle of the basket was a bunch of
violets to match the ribbon. Tip hated
that basket for there wasn't room to
stretch or wriggle and now tn (pit of
ths fact that he had grown line he Was
presented to Marietta he found that h
was to be chucked into that same basket
to be taken on a long Journey.
"We are going thousands of miles"
Marietta told a schoolmate who had
Come to say goodbye. "And Tip la going
with us In his very own basket aren't
you Tippy dear?"
Tip made no reply. He refused to
rush frantically as he usually did after
the ball that Marietta threw across the
room but sat up on hi tail and reflected.
He made up his mind firmly that he was
not gotng to travel thousand of miles In
that or any other basket.
On the train he popped his head out
of his nest at every opportunity whloh
made their fellow travelers laugh and
a young lady exclaimed "Oh Isn't be
cunning little dear!"
When they stopped at a station to
wait for another train as for some raa-
Bon Tip could not understand th fam-
ily wanted to change car his basket
was put down st the end of a seat While
Marietta amused herself by looking out
of the window. Then It whs that Tip
sprang from the basket and ran as fast
as any kitten ever did since cats were
created while the lid falling back Into
place concealed the fact of hi escape. -
Tip ran and ran away out Into the
country and after a while he began to
feel lonely for there were no houses m
sight. For two day he wandered about
and he was a very thin and hungry kit-
ten when at last he found a farm nous
and mewed at the door.
"Why It 1 an Angora kitten" tried
the little girl who opened th door. "I
will give him some milk and keep him If
be will stay."
"Stay!" thought Tip. "If I ean h
mad warm and comfortable otic more
I will stay anywhere they want to
me even In a basksL"

be re-enforced by a seventh today the '
week I assured as a successful one.
Tw changes have been made In the
bill a originally planned. Walter Jamea
Weeded Nettie Field and McCauley
and ConweM were to replace Ooff Philips
but missed train connections and did not
arriva In time. They will appear to-
day however.
A McCauley and Conwell have not yet
appeared a judgment of their work Is
impossible but Walter James is un-
doubtedly one of the strongest features
of th bin. He haa a splendid voice and
hi specialty include a rich opportunity
for It use In dialect songs. James
bracks a few good jokes and then makes
an Instant hit with "Lena and the Con-
certina" and "When Marietta Doe th
Cubanola Olid." A encores he ran th
languorous "Sweet Italian Walts." a
phantasy strongly reminiscent of the lilt
of "Cheri Bert and m negro dialect.
"That Piano Man." James Is one of the
best ween at th Majestlo this season
and when be allows his vole full rangs

While the Havelocka presented a greet
many attractive balance and juggling
features they had one big fault they too
often had to repeat to succeed. Their
tuff waa clever and Interesting but lsst
night they were not perfect- . Prhp
they require but a day' acquaintance
with th stage to make good. They gen-
erally suooeeded on the second attempt
tn making thing go but on very diffi-
cult combination effect was never satis-
factorily achieved. They inyoduc a
deal of comedy that belpe the act to go.
Thieeaen' pet Is a first rate act by
three clever terriers. Thlessen haa them
trained beautifully and tbey perform the
most dtffloujts stunt in equilibrium Im-
aginable. The little fellows are Inter-
esting and appealing and at every atunt
drew a storm of applause.
Charles Williams is another comedy
violinist but a good one. Williams ha
a number of imitation on his instru-
ment and several sound conglomeration
volved frora commonplace one-string in-
strument that are good.
Settingi and costuming help the "Won
by WlreleWs" skit ot th Personl-Halllday
company wonderfully. Camilla Personl
Is vsry good but Halllday make a first-
class running mats. The Idea of th
playlet Is old but Is cleverly conceived.
Leroy and Clayton are a scream from
the start Walter Leroy big. Jovial un-
hesltatltmgly Irish Is sn ideal Hogan.
His bluff humor his quick moving farce
take Instantly. And with him is Flor-
ence Clayton ample and smiling to play
the widow. A Mors on HogaiT' ha al-
ready mad It mark and Is sur to be
enjoyed all week. With Leroy nd Miss
Clayton to carry It out th skit 1 In th
best of bands.
Th Chocolate Seldlsr" at th Prlnx.
"Th Chocolat Soldier" made its last
appearance here last night to an appre-
ciative audience. The light opera haa
had a successful May her In many way
but has been unfortunate In one re-
BPvVlth Miss Drew's withdrawal the
brunt of the work has fallen upon Edith
Singleton and her beautiful voice has
been Unable to stand the strain. lion
Bergere ha been singing the aria in
The Chocolate Soldier" the last two
nights. Miss Singleton haa far too dif-
ficult a role to carry through the remain-
der of the season unaided.
The company has been well liked
throughout its stay th principals being
well chosen and the chorus a strong one
vocally.- Hon Bergere and Charles Pur-
cell are particularly excellent as Mascha
and Lieutenant Bumerll the Chocolate
Soldier respectively.
