AN INTERESTING NEWSPAPER
Todays Post Is a notohlo paper in moro ways tban
tone Though or unusual size It does not depend upon
bulk to arrest attention
Besides the current news and while not a special
edition Its pages fiirnlfili much tending which Is Inter
testing ns well as valuable ftom n historical and statis-
tical standpoint What was mostly kept In viow In its
preparation however was the remarkable and stub
ntantinl growth of Houston and tho tortitory tribu-
tary to Houston Column fiftor column of business
facts and announcements are presented to illustrnto
this and it would be difficult to nrrungo a bettor show-
ing to that end
Houston is gaining In commercial Importance day
by day gaining to such an extent In that particular
that Justice can not be done to lis progress In a single
Issue of any paper But enough can bo told of what
It is doing to Impress tho public with tho upward trend
Cf Its movements and that is what Tho Post has en-
deavored to do
That tho rosult satisfactory will bo readily agreed
lo and that Tho Post in ahothor twolvo months will bo
nblo to note still greater dovolopmont Is npparont
Commercial conditions aro such in Houston thnt it Is
nafo to make tho most cheerful predictions for tho
luturc Bradstreola reports are at hand to proro this
tTbey show that during tho past olovon months Hous-
ton bubln s failures did not amount to move than
glOOut
This is a record that many a more pretentious city
would like to have lo point to a record that confirms
belief In the solidity of Houston mercantile manufac-
turing and financial institutions and invito capital
to its doors
CASTROS CONTRIVANCE
Many of the South American nations do not llko tho
Monroe doctrine While thoy appreciate tho protection
It gives hem against the nations of liuropo they fear
that tho United States In keeping other notions olf
lins been instigated by interested motives and intends
to bring them In tho end to tho position of colonies of
the Great Republic of tho North
It has heon reserved for President Castro of tho no
public of Venezuela to turn tho Monroe doctrine to
practical ends to tho prollt of his own country
Presidont Castro Is n financier Ho ought to bo In
Wall street Tho Venezuelans have a railroad built by
German capitalists The Interest due to the Teutonic
creditors has always been regularly paid But now
that the Monroe doctrine Is so firmly ostnbllshed as the
policy of tho United States and the naval power of
this country has been proved to be so great President
Castro hns refused to pay tho Gorman capitalists and
Bets behind the Monroe doctrine to avoid payment for
according to iho usual course as France recently did
with Turkey and there Is abundance of other prece-
dent Germany would send ix few war ships across tho
seas to Caracas Angostura La Guayra or Moracalbo
nnd in short order tho V0ne7u0lnnn would have to pay
up But Presidont Castro relies on tho Monroe doc-
trine to prevent this and thinks he has found a now
way to pay old debts Horo is a pretty international
problem tho outcomo of which no matter what It is is
bound to provo interesting
PROTECTION FOR CITIES ON THE GREAT LAKES
It is reported that Representative Boutello will re-
new at the present session of congress his proposal to
abrogate tho RtishHngot treaty with Groat Prltnln of
isls That treaty was made to settio somo of tho dif-
ferences betweon tho United States nnd Great Britain
left undetermined by tho treaty of peace ending tho
wrir of 1312 U provides that tho naval force which
can be maintained on tho Groat Lakes by each nation
shall be limited tp a single vessel
Now when the treaty was negotiated that was a per-
fectly fair and equitable nrrangemont but tho situa-
tion Is at present vefy much changed from what It wbb
By tho construction of canals that have overcome
the natural obstacles to navigation in the St Lawrenco
and Klagara rivers Great Britain in the ovent of war
with the United States could pour ns many gunboats
nnd vessels of war into the lakes as sho pleased while
tho Uplted States has no open channel by which dur
naval force of one Yeaeel cpulrl bo Increased
While Great Britain nnd tho United States are on
exe4iBgJy friendlyterms it is n t to bo fogoUcn
tbaV axpease has beon spared by the former for tho
defense of the Canadlan frpntl r On of Great Brlt
f s w m inwH iw i
alnfl greatest naval and military Btatlona is maintained
nt Halifax the fortifications at Quebec aro well nigh
as formidable As at Gibraltar the naval establishment
at Esqtilmault is BtronR enough in caso of war to provo
a sorlouB menaco to the cities of the Pacific coast It
Is not probable that war will occur between the two
countries but cities llko Chicago Milwaukee and Buf-
falo should not bo left to the ptotcctlon of n single war
vessel when in tho event of war with Great Britain a
whole British fleet mlglit be brought against them
PROFESSION AND PRACTICE IN THE PHILIP-
PINES
Our earnest effort says President Itoosevelt in
that part of his message to congress which treats of
the Philippines is to help theso people upward along
the stony and difficult path that leads to selfgovern
ment If President Itoosevelt were not utterly desti-
tute of humor tho lack Of which quality ho has shown
moro than once in his careor ho would not employ
language In Justification of tho administration which
sounds llko democratic irony
Here Is another oxample At little further along in
his message ho says Our aim Is high We do not
desire to do for tho Islanders rneroly what has been
done for tropic peoples by tho beat foreign govern-
ments Wo hope to do for them what has never before
been dono for any people of tho tropics to make them
fit for self government after tho fashion of tho really
free nations Is there not unconscious humor of a
somowhat grim sort In this Consider this declaration
and then consider the facts Wo aro proceeding to
111 tho Filipinos for selfgovernment by sending our
soldiers to shoot them and to continue to shoot them
until they submit to our authority
Wo aro doing this the president assures us with
disinterested zeal There need not bo tho slightest
fear he continues of our not continuing to glvo them
nil the liberty for which they arc fit In other words
there Is not the slightest chance of our falling to show-
n sufficiently humanitarian spirit Tho danger comes
In the opposlto direction But while wo will do
everything In our power for the Filipino who Is peace-
ful wo will take the sternest measures with tho Fil-
ipino who follows tho path of tho Insurrccto and tho
ladrone
Is not this an example of man dressed In a llttlo
brief authority who plays such fantastic tricks be-
fore high heaven as makes the angels weep Tho
president approves tho sending of the United Stntes
army to tho Philippines to glvo tho Inhabitants self
government shooting tho Filipinos to teach them lib-
erty and establishing our government over them
against their will that they may bo free All of which
wo do with disinterested zeal and a sufficiently hu-
manitarian spirit
This Is strange profession and strange practice
Tim reason of tho practice Is plain enough It crops
out In tho message itself although it la not openly
avowed They aro very rich tropical Islands says
the president The vast natural wealth of tho
Islands bo hays in another place must be devel
oped The reason of the practlco Is plain enough It
Is the covetousnesa forbidden hy the tenth command-
ment the greedy commercialism denounced by tho
democratic platform
Tho reason of the profession Is plain enough It in
but an additional stop In wrong the path of which Is
easy Hero is hypocrisy arrant and rank Is it not
bettor to bo open about foreign conquest and pillage
llko Atllla tho scourge of tho Huns rather than pursuo
tho same policy with upturned eyes reciting a pious
rode
It shout be worth white for Attorney General Pell to

but it is different with the
owners of the wells They ate
getting hut M cents a barrel for oil that commands 1 10 in
Pennsylvania though the product of the Corsieana refinery
is sold at from 3 to 5 cents 11101 e per gallon than is obtained
for that of the Pennsylvania refineries The result is that
development has practically ceased in the Corsieana field

Houston has offered a site embracing two acres of ground
for the girls industrial school That would be ground
enough on which to locate the buildings but hardly enough
for the necessary surroundings of an industrial school San
Antonio has offered a tract of land within the city limits
sufficient for practical or experimental work in fruit flower
or vegetable farming on A scale sufficient for educational
purposes The site for the industrial school should have
plenty of ground even if the cash bonus should be small

going to the theater I went to his house to get him and
we sat on the gallery chatting for a while when he pro-
posed that he should go and get some cigars for us to smoke
So off he started leaving mc sitting on the gallery in one of
the big gallery chairs waiting for her return His sister
hearing someone go down the Steps and out the gate nat-
urally supposed that the visitor had left and that it was her
brother who had remained She swung open the door and
before I knew it threw her arm around my neck and kissed
me Run down in the garden Ned she said and get me
some flowers theres a good boy I am going to the Mc
Kenne s tonight Ill get you some flowers certainly Miss
Nellie I replied but this isn t Ned It was pretty dark but
I could see that she blushed the pinkest kind of a pink I

mistake hasn t occurred again
TALKING ABOUT HOUSTON
Wharton Eagle
Houston s present city administration is without doubt
the most farcical affair in the whole world It is impossible
to understand howthe people of that city will permit the
unreasonableness of one or two conceited and brainless in-
dividuals to jeopardize the health and welfare of the popula-
tion The resignation of the whole cheese should be de-
manded and compelled

Apropos of Government Control A RaiU ds
New Orleans Picayune
Every now and then there is a wild outcry thit the Fed-
eral government must take control of the railroais and the
recent consolidations hy which all the parallel lints of rail-
road in certain sections of the Union have been brought ii
drr a single control have aroused the outcry unt 1 it n < s
throughout the country
It appears however that the great railwav manures
the big hankers who are managing the combinatio ani
handling the bonds issued and sold upon the ba it 1
trust operations are chuckling over it with great w
bonds that have been and
are being based on ricrir

engaged in putting them out are also well paid for their serv
It is entirely unlikely that these great railway trtists will
ever be able to pay the vast bonded indebtednesC loaded
upon them and in the course of time they may have to suffer
what has been done in the case of so many other raJroads
be put into the courts and finally sold out for whatlhey will
bring In the meantime the persons who have beenbandling
the money and operating the roads will doubtless = ake care
of themselves and in the process of liquidation tie bond
holders would have to accept what they can get
But if the government should take possession of the
roads it would have to assume the bonds and thm the en
tire burden would be loaded upon the taxpayers Tie Hart
ford ConnJ Times writing on the subject says
The government control of the railroads means a federal
guarantee of the interest on all the bonds that Mr Morgan
and his friends are issuing including this latest batel in the
Northwest Is there a large railroad bondholder in the
country who will object to having the indorsement of Uncle
Sam added to the guarantee which already adorns His se
curities Well hardly
The only thing that concerns these able promoten now
