red rice, weevil, had roads and heavy freight

AN EDITOR’S MAIL.
Bp
An editor of a daily newspaper is nothing
more nor less than a public servant, and the
public does not hesitate to use him as such.
The ordinary business man would be aston-
ished if he knew of the numerous demands that
are made upon the time of a newspaper man—
the idea of the public seeming to be that an ed-
itor is a queer sort of genus homo who has
more time on his hands than he knows what to
do with and whose business will go along just
the same whether he devotes any time to it
or not. .Some'idea of the various matters that
are pressed up to the editor may be had from
one day’s mail received by the Leader this
week.
First, a ship brokerage company away up
in New York very politely requests the editor
to supply them with information regarding the
details of the cargo of a ship Recently cleared
from Port Arthur. .Don’t know why they
didn’t pass that up to the Port Arthur news-
paper man.)
Then from Kansas City comes a request from
a nursery' company for the editor to give them
the names of the people in Orange who are
growing pecans, together with the kind of trees
they have, etc.
From Ft. Worth a request comes for a state-
ment as to the amount of standing timber in
Texas and other information regarding the lum-
ber industry.
From away up in Northwest Texas comes a
long letter from a man who has sold out his
interests up there and who has an idea that
lie will move to Orange, but before doing so
wants the editor to tell him if he can get a cer-
tain sized house, with outhouses, etc., for ten
dollars per month, what the price of bran, oats,
chops and corn is at Orange now and what it
usually is in March, the price of day labor, and
the amount paid for men and teams by the day,
and a dozen or so more questions along similar
lines.
These are just a few of the requests that come
to a newspaper editor, who is supposed to lie
a veritable walking encyclopedia of knowledge.
Nothing gives a newspajier man more pleas-
ure than to be able to answer all such requests
and in this way help to build up the town and
county, but if we had a live, active commercial
organization, these things could all he referred
to the secretary and given prompt attention,
while as it is the newspafier man can only gath-
er the information as the opportunity offers
and answer the letters when he finds time to
do so.
The liar may do well for awhile, but he is
found out sooner or later.—San Angelo Stand-
ard.
Our experience has been that the liar is not
always a “lie.”—Lake Charles Press.
Not satisfied with that, John Marshall adds,
in another column:
“Some women’s tongues can be likened to
thp bite of a spider. Tliey disseminate poison
at an unlooked for moment.”
Go easy, bo. Don’t get riled up just because
some of the fair sex have made you the target
for their remarks. That’s just a part of w..at’s
coming to ever man who essays to edit a daily
pajier.
We’d ask George Bailey, of the Houston Post,
John Reese of the Atlanta Georgian, John Mar-
shall, of the Lake Charles Press, and the rest
of those Southern pagan paragraphers to come
to the Great and Only Allentown Fair next week
if we weren’t afraid they would blow out the
gas.—Allentown (Pa.) Call.
Boys, don’t you go, even if he does invite
you. They are entirely too slow and primitive
up there. The idea of imagining for one moment
that an editor from Georgia, Louisiana or Tex-
as would have need of the gas is preposterous.
Why, those Pennsylvania folks must go to lied
just about the time you hoys would be getting
ready to start out to enjoy yourselves.
There ain’t no use talkin,’ but that steam-
ship whistle certainly do sound good.—Corpus
Christi Caller.
And yet Corpus is one of the two places in
Texas designated as “Imjiortant ports” in the
new geographies adopted by the state text book
board. We would like very much to know
whether the board adopts books strictly on their
merits, or on the older and more often used
system of passing the pie. alias “greasing the
ways.*’—Port Arthur News.
Does seem funny, d<x*sn’t it. that the whistling
of a steamboat in “one of the most important
harbors on the Texas coast,” should create sueh
a commotion and feeling of delight. Every
day the conviction grows stronger in our minds
that there was something exceedingly unwell
in the neighliorhood of the State Capitol when
the Text Book Board met and made their se-
lection of school books.

The Orange Leader editor, who has been ap-
poiuted a delegate to the Washington tuber-
culosis congress, is informed that the walking
is good and that long walks in the ojieii air
are pronounced beneficial in cases of tubercu-
losis.—Beaumont Enterprise.
We want it distinctly understood right now
that we haven’t got any tuberculosis, and fur-
thermore, you needn’t try to induce us to start
out to Washington on a tie pass. If we can’t
ride in varnished cars like tbe doctors and oth-
er delegates, then we are going to stay at home
and let ’em have their little old congress all
by themselves.
f \ RICE CROP HAMMERING.
In another column of the American today,
Mr. Leon Viterbo gives a deserved dressing
down to J. B. Campbell of the Hieward Milling
Co., of New Orleans, for his statement that the
rice crop this year will reach five million sacks
anil his advice to the farmer to throw bis rice
on the market as fast as possible. Such state-
its and advice can be given only' through a
lire to. be sensational, or with the deliberate
>»e of keeping the farmer from receiving
just reward of hit toil.
Viterbo recalls the fact, which will lie
Btly fresh in the memories of all the rice
, that the same Mr. Campbell made the same
erated estimate last year and widely ad-
the statement that he would not pay
a sack for last season’s rice. He was
I down” at the time by Mr. Viterbo and
it events proved the worthlessness of
late.” The rice mills paid the highest
ice last year in the history of the gulf
and if the Hieward company did
it paid more than $3 for every sack
Nacogdoches having gone dry some time ago,
it seems that the usual means of quenching
thirst have been entirely inadequate and the
Sentinel rejoices that “the building of a wat-
ering trough on the square will fill a long felt
want and will Ik* hailed with pleasure by the
farmers a specialty.” To sav nothing of the
delight of the editor as lie dips his beak into the
trough and allays the burning thirst w'ithin.

The rice-farmer who plants early, as a usual
thing, unless hamjiered by adverse weatlier
conditions in the spring that makes replanting
necessary, harvests his crop early in the fall.
He is thus enabled to secure the top market
price for his product, he escajies tljle dangers
and loss of the equinoctial storms and makes
a greater profit from his crop than does his less
enterprising neighbor who waits until the last
minute to get his crop in the ground.
A local note in the Lake Charles American
says: “ W. W. Duson, the ‘father of Crowley,’
and his son spent last night and this morning
here on business.” Duson must be afraid he’s
going to lose Crowley, if he has to take him
with him wherever he goes. Wonder what Ran-
dolph of the Hignal was doing while “Papa
Duson” had Crowley over at Lake Charles with
him.
