A GHUAT IMHSTItY
There Is nothing In which The Poat
takes a greater Interest than tho Industrial
development of our country nnd especially
that part of It called Texas
A Blmple nnd economical administration
of the affairs of our National government
aro of vast Importance and I his The Post
believes Is to bo found only in democratic
councils In State affalra Teas h s heen
rojoyjng this great blessing thanks to
tho Intelligent of her citizens for many
jears and we hopo lo seo tho same pure
and simple conditions exist In National
affaire after the election of lfloo believ-
ing that with tbe beginning of a new cen-
tury the people of tho country at large will
ho ready to turn over new leaf nnd
return to tho simple and economical dajs
of tho past In the administration at tho
concerns of tho general government All
this Tho Post feels a deep and abiding
Interest In believing such a chingo to bo
of fundamental concern to all our people
These tro jjfoat things but tltoro aro
others of enuM If not Indeed greater
Importance Tho Industrial development
of this great country 1b In many re-
spects the question of vital and paramount
Importance and especially Is The Post
concerned In regard la tho Southern States
una Texas In particular In the past tow
years we have made wonderful strides
In this direction and the future
possibilities at our very door are almost
Innumerable That our people will utlllzo
tho opportunities naturo has so generously
lavished upon them there Is but little
doubt for It Is but reasonable to Judge
the future by the past A people who have
accomplished so much In bo short a time
are not liable to lag Just as tho raco has
fairly begun and especially Is this truo of
a peoplo characterized by Industry and
Intelligence as aro the peoplo of Texas
As an Instance In point of what has
been done In tho development of ono
agricultural product Mono The Post quotes
as follows from the Kansas City Times In
roference to the almost Incredible strides
mado In tho cotton seed oil Industry Tho
Times says
This Industry may bo said to have sprung
tip out of nothing Only a few yuira iso
totton seed wore idmost worthless Isuw the
numerous factories nnd mills through tnc
Pouth troduco every year from tlitb by-
product material valued at a quarter of n
billion dollars tqual tn more than half the
value of tho countrys wheat crop and four
tlrnen the annual output of thn gold mines
This is nn Interesting illustration of tho ten-
dency of the age to utlllzo Cown to the last
pound the varied products of the field and
the mines All such Industries ndd to tho
wealth of tho tntlort In two ways by putting
Aaluo Irv ntttlsncls formerly considered use
ltss am by opening an opportunity for more
complete utilisation of tho labor of tho coun
tryin
in this era of laborsivlng machinery nnd
of laborsaving combinations of cmployors
the man who llnds some new way of profitably
titlns human labor Is ono of tho great bene
factors of his race There la nothing morr
risentlal to the continued prosperity of the
nation than the constant creation nf new In
dustrles the opening of fresh opportunities for
the employmont of labor The tendency In
the established Industrie Is to Introduce
methods nnd machinery that reduce the num
ber of men necessary to supply the demands
for commodities and It Is exceedingly tin
portnnt that the men thus displaced should
find employment In new channels
It should be a matter of local pride
to tho people of Texas to know that the
article from which the above Is quoted was
called forth by the meeting In San Antonio
eomo days since of the Cotton Seed Crush-
ers of this State
Tho eyes of the world are upon Texas
and the best way for tts to attract their at-
tention Is In brave and manly strides
In our own behalf This done outside aid
is sure to eomo and Join wlthfio In lhi
work of progress and development There
aro a large numher of now Industries like
that of utilizing cotton seed that havo
grown up In recentears and besides > r
Ins a great Jeal for the country In the way
of enhancing the value of raw materials
they have heen of untold benefit to tho
world In giving employment to honest and
deserving labor Let the good work go-
on till we shall manufacture all wo raise
in every line It can be dona In tho man-
ufacture of our eotton Into cloth as well
as Irt tho manufacture of our cotton seed
Into oil stock feed etc and our hides Into
leather Our flour can all bo made at
home and tho fruits and vegetables of
Texan can be canned In Texas as well
iturc ma been good to us We should
appreciate her kindness and In roturn for
our labor will reap a rich reward Should
we ask more

that day the rates will be thrown wide
open to welcome its southern guests and
an extensive entertainment entered upon
closing with an appropriate concert In the
evening On Wednesday tho following
day Instructors In the various depart-
ments will begin work and the regular
series of day and evening programmes car-
ried out an announced
Tho session as Inst year will continue
for six weeks with all tho ariatlons of
dally excursions Into tho onnons and up
the peaks lectures both Instructive and
amusing and musical entertainments of a
particularly cnjoyablo character
Most of the readers of tho Post know
that tho TexasColorado Chautauqua
grounds aro located near the city of Bould
or 30 miles north of Denver Nestled at
tho foot of tho Rocky Mountains tho
Chautauqua Camo commands ono of the
finest vlows of which this continent can
boast Below tho peaceful Boulder valley
wrapped In blue haze or aglow with tho
brilliant colors that Colorado air provides
and beyond tho range with Us snow clad
pr fs which breathe of coolness and bouy
ant air nnd a renewal uf health and spirit
Those who attended last year have an
Idea of tho treats In store but the sacund
year Is necessarily more perfected as re-
gards tho programme There are full
courses for teachers and students who
wish preparation In any ono or all of the
branches of mnthcmatlcs language science
nnd literature and tho Instructors come
from tbo very best schools South and
North Many of tho lectures will no doubt
draw much Interest outsldo the students
fdr they will bo highly entertaining Tbe
natural sciences will be largely conducted
out of doors and classes In botany and
geology will daily betnke themselves to
tho canons where naturo Is ready with her
demonstrations the formations about
Boulder being particularly Interesting
Thero la ti school for Kindergarten
teachers and also a leal one for the mid-
gets themselves which Is free for those
whoso parents ltve In tho grounds And
incidentally It might bo said that the
Chautauqua Is an Ideal placo for tho small
folks who have all tho freedom of home
togother with a delightful change In scene
nnd air As n lady from Calvert who with
two llttlo ones camped last summer on th
grounds told tho writer Thcro Is ab-
solutely no way for them to hurt thom
I reives nnd I am having such a rest For
1 tho older boys end girls thero nro clubs
dlrocted by Mrs Penuybacker of Palestine
1 Texas and Mrs Woodcock of Wymoro
Noh which are sure to Interest
Tho Art Department will no doubt draw
largely Sirs Sherwood will glvo a series
of Illustrated lecturos extending during
tho entire session There will also bo
sketch classes of various descriptions from
a teachers normal to watercolor work-
out of floors tho Utter In chargu of XIr
Cox of Texas
Tho musical attractions are very strong
Prof John Behr of Kantas City with
a symphony orchestra of fourteen pieces
has been eugaged for tho season nnd his
evening concerts In tho open auditorium
will delight everyone Tho chorus under
his direction In free to all who wish to
Join XIrs Bthr a brilliant pianist will
Klvo lossons to thoso who desire and In-
structors upon a halfdozen other instru
ments have been engaged Tho Physical
Culture classes are under tho tutelage of
XIrs Townsend of Corslcana and thero
are departments for nlmost everything
now taught Including a business college
Tho course of popular lecturos makes
thoso who can not co to tho Chautauqua
to sigh profoundly Dr David Starr Jor
dan president of the Lolnnd Standtord
Jr University will deliver a sermon nnd
two lectures during tho third week of tho
assembly ono of them upon Evolution
What It Is and what It is not
Itpv It V Woldner president of the
Lutheran Theological Semluary Chicago
Is a noted expounder of Holy Writ and his
course of Blx lectures will extend over
the last two weeks of the session
Dr Orenvlllo XI Dodgo will talk upon
the trials mid sufferings tit the early set
tlors of Toxas Rev Dr R n Hobbs
presldont of Calcutta Collego will apeak
upon tho peoples of India Rev Sam
Jones Hon Lyman J Onge Hon R W
Hall of Vernon Texas and Luther Man
ship of Jackson Miss are all hooked the
latter to lecture upon Southern Authors
Thcro will bo dramatic and dialect read
ngs by peoplo noted In that line even
Ings with magic plenty of stereoptlcan
lectures nnd entcrtnlnments of a light
order wil Intersperse such things as tho
literary treats of Prof xiims of North
furolln nl hv I Rosslgnol of
the University of Denver nnd the illus
trated lectures on nstronomv by Dr Howe
of the same Institution The wargraph
will bo exhibited during the entire first
week
Even so late as this the course of popu
lar eutertalnments Is not entirely decided
nmotlK tho Tomlsod attractions are
llllam Jennings Bryan and several re
turned genorals of the late war
Two verv desirable features have been
jddod over last year chief among them
being tho electric railway which connects
the grounds with Boulder This will en
able those who ohooBe to board In town
to reach tho Chautauqua by a roore
rapid and uieasant mode than the vans
of last vear offered Another addition
Is tho cottages which nro being erectod
for thoso who do not enjoy tenting A
person wishing to build may make a con
tract with the Chautauqua Association
for a period of nineteen years No ground
rent Is charged and cottages may be built
at a cost ranging from US600 upwards
Those who wish board tn Boulder may
obtain rooms from 1 B0 to 3 SO week
according to the locality and board at
reasonable figures which may be had hy
writing to the Chautauqua management
As last y ar probably most people wiii
profor the floored tents which are cool
comfortable and moct healthful These are
of various sizes some large enough for
families to do housekeeping articles for
which may bo obtained upon the grounds
Gasoline stoves may be rented for the
season for frcm 100 to 200 refriger
ators lrO to 200 double wire cots 75e
chairs 28c and BOe and other things In
nrouortlon A lunch counter will be main
tained en the grounds where at all times
at reasonable prices thcro may be obtalnM
foods which will aid the housekeeper and
dally calls will be made by tho butcher and
baker
Croncratlve housekeeping is recom
mended as cheap and vasy The majority
of tbo attendants will no doubt prefer
to live at tho Assembly dining ball which
people last year pronounced highly satis
factory Aud this brings us to the all
Important featuje of the cost for Texans
Surely no such delightful vacation can
bn obtained elsewhere for the money and
4 W
It fs tho earnest wish of the writer to
spread this Idea among thoso who long
for a ohange from the hot lowlands to the
bracing mountain country
The following rates cover transporta-
tion board nnd lodging at tho Chautauqua
grounds and admission to all of the as-
sembly features and summer school mass-

200 mites of Fort Worth for adults 8500

prices prevail according to tho distance
from Fort Worth for all of tho Stato of
Texas This ns remarked last year Is
as cheap as to stay at home Aa cheap in
money but a vast and vital economy in
strength and vigor to tho worn out teach-

Ono pitiful little story has reached my
cars of a girl I will not reVcal tho name
of the Texas town where she lives who
has written to know If there Is not some
sort of work she can do about the as-
sembly or dlnlne hall to earn her way
to the delightful privileges of tho climate
and Institution I do not know whether
the management has made any provision
for her or not but I truly hfipe they may

Information Mr Schurmnn 1 am lappy to

niiirknblo man of high Intelligence and of
profoutd audition Nobody could be inoro
worthy of the mission which has boon In

I Why 1 snld to him has not America
established In tho Philippines the protective
system like that Iranre has Installed In
Tunis aud Annam It is In substance a
disunited annexation and would give you ab-
solute satisfaction At the same tlmo the
silutlot uitild safeguard the pride of tho
rillpintii i o favor autonomy
It u impossible replied Mr Schurmiin
and 1 will at you know the reason why At
Tunis thcf 1 a bey and in Annam an em-
peror and jour protectorate is exercised over
nstablr guvtrmncnt Here there is nothing
of the kind Wo are In the presence of an-
archy nnd you can not establish a ptotcc
lorate ovot a government which docs not
exist
In an Interview with Admiral Dewej ha
admiral said Ayulnaldo will ngreo to sub

Ono 1 veiling I vlsltel Florentine Torres
president of the Philippine commission of
Xlnniii Torres was a inaglstratn under
Spanish rule nnd is a v ry Intelligent tnun
He said The position of the Philippine
commission is n very difficult one Wo are
trying tu tiring about n pacification but
then wo jljtll have found a solution of the
ttuestlon with XIr Schurman It will be neces-
sary to cauie Aguinaldo to accept It and
there will be another great difficulty
Wh do you fear tho position of Agui
naldo li he ambitious
No but he has Illusions He hopes for
the Intervention of the great European pow-
ers as In frete and ho even counts oa tile
coopcrstlju or Japan
And you sir for what do you hope
Oh is for myself I hope tho war will
Boon be finished for It Is ruining us Wo
landed proprietors would accept n govern-
ment similar to that of Canadu We do not
wish foi a dCTaiture pf the Americans for In
that case cut fortunes would bo swept away
It Is not only a question of Aguinaldo and
bis troots of n nationalist movement but
above all of a socialist and revolutionary
movement created by the Insurrection Tho
lower clakaes of people and many of tho chiefs
are military socialists I will cite for exam
ple Luna who for a long time frequented the
socialist claos of Europe Santlko who at-
one time bad Influence among certain so-
cialist comnultcts of America and tbe poet
Patoruo who Is an enthusiastic socialist Also
rest well assured that the movement Is di
rected moro against tho capitalists to what-
ever nation they belong than ngnlust thl
Americans
Regarding the declarations of Torres there
are two Important observations which I ask
permission 10 present Immediately The first
tnat as a nutter of fact the Philippine com
aisslor with which XIr Srhurinan In spite
rf his good will seems to mo powerless to
ebtaln serious results Were he to llnd a
solutioj uf tho situation with tho Philippine
commission It would afterward be peccant y
to have it accepted by Aguinaldo and his
troops a d utijthlng would have to be drve
pcr again Tho second observation is tho
Importance which has been attached to this
entry tpon the stngo of socialism lu the Phil
Ipplnes it explains the dissensions whltli
exist nc one the Filipinos nnd naturally Will
result tn the Americans finding before the
conclUBlon o peace serious support among
the better classes
i alterwnrq Interviewed successively sev
eral Influential Filipinos notably Gregorlo
Arancn too first minister of Justice of the
government 01 Aguinaldo They all confirm
the statements of Torres
I was struck with the fine presence of
your soldiers they ore big men strong
supple aud igile who bear testimony to the
beauty of tut American race
But iriiapplly 1 know that precisely on
aeeoujjt of their phvileal strength they would
experience clffltulties it enduruts the cll
trau of the Philippine Islands This seems
Paradox

as smaller Individuals Besides this the
