The Mansfield (La.) Journal says: “A trade
journal says that the lumber trade is picking up.
Now is the time to build houses." Lumber has
bden and is now cheaper than it is likely to be
’fcgain, and home builders who neglect the pres-
ent opportunity will, indeed, have cause to re-
gret it later. But, really, we believe that sta-
tistics will show that cheap lumber has hot
brought out a larger amount of building, but
that, on the other hand, building operations
have been restricted to a point much lower than
when lumber was at the highest price in its
history.

The Leader suggested editorially a few days
ago that Orange offered a good opening for an
antomobile garage and repair shop and that the
man who got in on the ground floor would se-
cure a good patronage. As a result of this para-
graph, a gentleman is in Orange today for the
purpose of opening up a garage, having seen
the Leader and adopted the suggestion made.
The Port Arthur News chides the high school
team of that city for playing poor politics and
good baseball so early in the season, claiming
that by playing such good ball they have fright-
ened away prospective games with other towns.
Don’t worry, Stump, the Commercials at Or-
ange are ready at any time to take on your
team—and they’ll give them something to do,
If they capture any games.
Jefferson county people will present their pe
tidon for a navigation district ami a bond elec-
tion for deep water to the commissioners court
of that county this week at about the same time
that Orange places her petition Itefore the com-
missioners court of this county. Don’t over
look the fact that we are going to have deej
water. Jefferson and Orange counties are
aroused and when they work together on
proposition results are sure to follow.
It don’t do to make an engagement with a
man in Orange now until you have first found
out if there is a fishing party planned for that
time. We have a nuluber of j>eople here who
will go fishing any time in preference to keep
ing any sort of an engagement. But you can
hardly blame them for that, the fishing is so
Irate.
“Uncle Ben’’ Stephens was re-elected city
marshal yesterday and made the emphatic
statement to the Leader editor this morning
that he proposes to put the screws to the law
breakers and fill up the street gang again. Go
after them, Uncle Ben, we need some more
work done on the streets.
“A panoramic photographer has come to
make pictures of Beaumont, and where can be
found a more beautiful subject for a panoramic
view!” says the Beaumont Enterprise. What’s
the matter with High Island during the bathing
season?

The Atchison Globe states it thus: “The dis-
tiller rides in a steam yacht, the wholesaler in
an automobile, the retail dealer in a carriage,
but the consumer of the liquor is pulled around
bjr the hair of the head by a policeman. ”
W. 8. Guyer, the ^republican candidate, was
elected mayor of Kansas City yesterday. Guess
he “guyed” his democratic opponent to such
an extent that he became discouraged and gave
op the race.
^ere may be many objections to the present
election law in Texas, but no one can gainsay
the fact that it has very materially purified the
ballot—a fact that has been clearly demonstrat
ed in every election held in Orange since the
present law was enacted.
Sam Park, the big Beaumont lumberman, evi-
dently couldn’t spend his money fast enough,
so be has invested in a big printing office in that
city. Experience has proven that it is not diffi-
cult to get rid of your coin through that source.
Bryan overlooked a most excellent opportunity
to accomplish some good by not delivering his
lecture “The Prince of Peace” before the Texas
legislature.

With cucumbers selling-at twenty cents ap:
one wonders why the people in this favored
tion do not devote, more time to‘the cultivation
of cucumbers. They grow profusely and pro-,
duce early in Orange county.
There was another stiff advance in flour a
few days ago and it begins to. look now like
we'll just have to go back to the good old corn
bread days. Well, “corn pone” is mighty hard
to beat.
A woman up in Pennsylvania the other day,
according to press dispatches, got into an argu-
ment with a man over some chickens, and bit
off his ear. We’ll bet she hit off more than
she could chew, all right.

The people of Orange are evidently not yet
educated up to the necessity of a municipally
owned sanitary sewer system. The projmsition
was badly defeated in the election held yester-
day.
Orange is not exactly a prohibition town, but
evervlmdy is ‘calling right now for the water
wagon. The high winds and the dirst have been
very disagreeable for several days.
The United Charities have opened up a lunch
room in Beaumont. The-newspaper gang over
there, we presume, are regular patrons.
If you can’t say a good weird for Orange,
keep your mouth shut, or move. That’s not
rough talk, but plain, common sense.
The open season for spring poets has nr
rived. Orange has her full quota of these.
SOME BACK TALK.
One of the local ministers went fishing lust
Saturday and caught so many fish that the next
morning his shoulders were numb and sore as
a result of the strain on them in pulling in the
fish. He told this himself, so we know it must
l»e so, and we respectfully refer it to Editor
Evans, of the Bonham News, who has been
hankering for a fish story from < irange. -()r
ange leader.
That does pretty well, coming, as it does,
from a preacher. How large a one can your
laymen tell, for goodness sake?—Bonham News,
We’ll let you know just as soon as Judge
Holland and Prof. Cohn strike their gait.
A daily freight service has been installed be
tween Houston and Orange, Texas. Which
means that Editor Ford, of the Orange Leader,
will now become a traveler. Pottsville (Pa.)
Miners’ Journal.
Nopy to say it, but editors in Texas are even
prohibited from riding in “side door Pull
mans” and we will still have to stay at home.

A professor in the Chicago University has
I teen to Mexico and there discovered that tin
American young man knows nothing of throw
ing kisses gracefully. It takes the young Mex-
ican to do that. The professor overlooks the
fact that the young American doesn’t have to
know how to throw kisses gracefully. He de
livers them gracefully right on the sjtot.—Bon-
ham News.
Oh, yon old kisser. Talking right from ex
perieuce, eh?
The Trump Youse nuptials, which recently
took place in Orange, reveals one ease in which
a woman did not throw a trump into the dis
eard.—Beaumont Enterprise.
This was a case probably where the trump
was put to better youse.

Maybe, it’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
Down in Texas they don't care a bit if break-
fast tables are taxed, -for they usually take
breakfast over the bar.—Pottsville (Pa.) Miners
Journal.
But up in Pennsylvania they have to hustle
mightily to get any breakfast at all.
A Texas woman named Mrs. Turnipseed rc
fused to marry a man and was shot by him.
Almost any other woman would Ite only too
eager to change a name like that.—Allentown
(Pa.) Democrat.
Had she lived in Allentown she might have
been Weiser, eh Bud?
