For City Assessor and Collector—
The people of Texas should not ex-
pect too much of Morris Sheppard all
in a minute. Some state papers have
been saying that nothing has been
d me by the new senator since taking
his office. While Mr. Sheppard so far
has not accomplished anything in par-
ticular, there is no doubt in our mind
but that there will be something do-
ing at the extra session, which con-
venes in April, next. No man with
the gift of oratory, such as this man
has, can sit in the council without at
least having a splendid and appreci-
ative female audience.

rl in* appropriations of $10,000 each
assure to Parker, Tarrant and Palo
Pinto counties a fifty mile govern-
ment post road—a highway that will,
among other things encourage the
farmer to gr#w more crops for mar-
keting by wagon haul and otherwise
stimulate the interplay of business.
But there is another commendable
feature connected with securing this
good road, and that is the enterprise
and promptness displayed by the
three counties in making their respec-
tive appropriations, thereby securing
the aid and bonus offered by the fed-
eral government. A fifty mile single
stretch of good roadway means 100
miles of new progress and general
bettermen^, counting both sides of the
post road, of course. So, a great deal
of good will accrue to farms and
communities alike. It is a great thing
to help Texus grow.
THERE’S NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE.

responsibility ceases in matters per-
taining to^clty building. Put your
shoulder to.the wlteel and push. Keep

There is a wide difference between
the art of making railroad ties and
that of editing a newspaper. Upon
the one hand, the tiemaker makes the
ties, and upon the other hand the
the gol-' newspaper man edits the paper—siin-
' pie enough. Isn’t it, when you come
to think about it?—Lufkin News.
It is simple, oh so simple! But why
will a man edit a newspaper when he
might be making erossties, or crco-
soting same, or doing something else
useful? On the other hand, why will
Those who may be inclined to fav-
orably consider the demands of the
suffragette will undoubtedly find In
thic story a basis for their conten-
tion that women are the equal of men.
Those wno are not of the opinion that
the claims of the suffragettes are just,
must reccgniie the energy displayed
' by this woman, and give her credit
for the effort she is making to Im-
prove the condition of her little fam-
ily. The name of the writer, for ob-
J vious reasons, is withheld, but the
'following is a letter from a woman
' who lives in Ohio and who—but let
the letter tell its own story. Here
it is:
"Spent several years in South Texas
and now find the North winter very
hard to endure. My husband is man-
ager of a phone company and likes
it here. However, said he would re-
turn South if he had a $100 per month
position there. Have failed to notice
any effort on his part to secure said
position, so have taken up the matter
myself. My husband is 33, extra
strong, does hot drink, likes to work,
has been express messenger and ship-
ping clerk through Southwest, and
in the present work three years in
Texas and here. Knows machinery
and can Bure make Texas niggers
work. We would be the good citizens
you claim to want, young, healthy and
progressive. Personally, wrill some
day have a bit of money to invest
where we settle, and am an architect
in a small way, specializing in small
untra-modern houses where the ser-
vant may be eliminated. Please find
a place for us In your state."
Here is an appeal fro ma woman,
whose statement emits the faith and
confidence that she has in her hus-
band and hi3 ability, and who, with-
out any repulsive egotism, describes
the family as one that any state
might be proud to own as citizens.
In many places in this great state
of Texas there is just the position
open that this man wants, and anyone
who assists in bringing to Texas such
evidently capable and conscientious
people need not be ashamed of their
efforts.
The Herald will be glad to near
from anyone or any community that
has a place for them and who would
be glad to have among its citizens this
enterprising and energetic family al-
ready in love with Texas.

The Texas Legislature Is going to
pass a bill that will get hold of the

dren, and put him in the penitentiary
for a term of years. This is good

why it has not been done heretofore
haa been beyond our reckoning. The

actly why is anything. Mystery en-
circles us, enmeshes ns, pervades and

you and State Press are in the news-
paper business and Bomebody else in
the crosstle business or why somebody
else is In the crosstle business, and we
in the newspaper business, neither we
nor they know. It is just a mystery,
an unfathomable, unsearched, inex-
plicable mystery. Of course, the con-
dition is likely to change, without no-
tice—you and S. P. are liable, at any
time, to have to go to hacking ties,
and the present tie hackers may be
compelled to sink into the editorial
business. Human destiny, fate, fore-
ordination, or whatever one may
please to call it is a terrible thing.
There is absolutely no use monkey-
ing with It, for what is writ Is writ.
Still, Until your and S. P.'s summons
comes to take up our axes and hike
for the woods, or until the axmen of
the present come In from the tall tim-
ber and take our jobs from us, per-
haps we might as well go on as here-

The knee bangle is reported as be'
ing the latest thing in fashions, and
it comes from Paris, of course. lass:
we make a mistake the following news
item is copied by way of description,
and is taken from the St. Ix>uis Re-
public:
The bangle has come back. Mine.
Rejane, who is winning new triumphs
in “Alsace," has brought it back to
the place where it was first worn by
women. The new bangle is worn just
below the left knee.
..You get a glimpse of it through a
slash in the silken frock and a shim-
mer of gossamer beneath.
It is supposed to be worn as a to-
ken, but the latest fad in Paris is the
engagement bangle, which has put the
finger ring out of date.
Mme. Rejane, who, with beautiful
gold and enamel “knee bracelet," at-
tended a performance of "Alsace
created a furore.
Next day you could have counted
the slash gowns and “tokens” by The
dozen, and today by the hundred.
Paris believes when a thing Is "the’
thing, and it should be done at all, it
should be done quickly,
Now, as we understand this knee
bangle, it must be seen to bo appre-
ciated, and In order to be seen the
frock of the woman who wears it must
be split—not "slit"—a couple of feet
on the larboard, or starboard side, as
the case might be. so when the wearer
of the bangle, and incidentally, of the
frock, or dress, walks along the street,
an occasional glimpse of the buckle
on the bangle can just be seen as It
peeps out and donges back again. But
just here, is an element of danger
that should be taken into considera-
tion by those who belong to the “So-
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals," because some old man la
going to be looking, not noticing w hi-
ther his steps are leading, and will

deep, or else run against a trcc.--Den-

Vice President and Geenral Mana-
ger Ben B. Cain of the Gulf, Texas &
Western Railroad company has an-
nounced that the contractors engag-
ed in the extension of the line fr6m
Jacksboro southward to Salesville, a
distance of twenty-five miles, assert
the line will be completed and ready
for the operation of trains by March
1. This new piece of track, together
with that already in operation from
Jacksboro to Seymour, will give the
company a total mileage of 100 miles.
No further extensions are planned
for the immediate future, according to
Mr. Cain, and, unless the State Legis-
lature amends the stock and bond law,
he is of the opinion there will be lit-
tle railroad improvement in Texas
during the next few years. It is the
Intention of the company, however, to

planning on inaugurating a new mo-
tor car service between Wichita Falls
and Mineral Wells over the rails of
the Wichita Valley, Gulf, Texas &
Western and the Weatherford, Min-
eral Wells & Northwestern railroads.
The play now being considered is to
have regular daily service, scheduling
the motor car to leave Mineral Wells
sufficiently early to connect with the
Fort Worth & Denver trains at Wich-
ita Falls at noon, and return in the
afternoon after trains from the north
have arrived in Wichita Falls. Should
this service be inaugurated it w-ill
give motor car service from Paris to
Wichita Falls via Texas Midland, Ter-
rell and Dallas: Texas & Pacific to
Mineral Wells and thence north over
the Weatherford, Mineral Wells &
Northwestern, Texas, Gulf & West-
ern and Wichita Valley lines.
Upon the completion of the remod-
eling of the Merchants’ National bank
building on Main street, the headquar-
ters of the Gulf, Texas & Western
Railroad company are to be moved
from the Praetorian building to the
bank building. Vice President and
General Manager Cain is also chair-
man of the board of directors of the
new bank.—Dallas News.

COMPUSORY EDUCATION HILL.
Austin, Texas, Feb. 12.—Hon. Jno.
W. Woods, representing the 121st dis-
trict in the Lower House, has intro-
duced a bill providing for compulsory
education of children between the ages
of 8 and 14 years. The Legislature
is giving preferred attention to edu-
cational matters and some of the
strongest members of the Legislature
are on the committees dealing with
educational subjects.
Many interesting statistics and in-
structive comparisons have been pre-
sented by Mr. Woods, who is authori-
ty on educational matters as well as
an earnest friend of the children.

Calumet yourself, and always be sure that

annum. The bill provides one hun-
dred and twenty days schooling per
annum for each child, but school trus-
tees are permitted to reduce the com-
pulsory attendance to 72 days if they
see proper. In California the average
number of days schooling each child
receives is 97 and the expenditure per
capita of average attendance is $59.01
against $18.55 In Texas.
The passage of the bill will result
in practically doubling the school at
