N0.-46-192C. BY ARTHUR BRISBANE. This is written on a Journey be tween New York and Fort Worth, Texan, via tho Pei.n'jjKnnla and t,h* M. K. &. T. You pick up the well edited Musko gee Daily Phoenix studying first the news summary. It gives 14 lines to Muskogee, 12 lines to the United States in general, two lines and a quarter to Europe. That's intensive cultivation In the home field. Texas is the state fo> which the flying machine was Invented. Auto mobiles will do for other states, not for Texas, they can’t go far enough in a week. On the fastest train you leave the eastern'border of Texas at Texark ana, at 8 a. m. You reach the west ern edge of the state at El Paso at 12:5!) p. tn. on the next day. Several European navione could In packed on either side of that stretch of railroad track. Fold your map of the United States up toward the north and Texas reaches Canada. Fold It down to ward the south, It reaches well Into central America. Fold It to ^ the right eastward, it reaches New York, to the left westward it reaches Cali fornia. Yet mere bigness is thk least of Texas' greatness. Edmund Burke striving to establish peace between England and her North Amerloan colonies—he failed luckily—thought he was paying us quite r> compliment when he said, “There is America, which at this day serves for little more than to amuse you with stories of savage men and uncouth manners, yet shall, before you taste of deaths show it self equal to the tvhole of that commerce which now attracts the envy of the world.” Texas, under intensive cultivation could easily feed the 1,600,000,000 In habitants of this earth, and Texas will, in days to eotne, eclipse the commerce of Britain, as completely as Britain now eclipses that of Haiti. If it were possible for Burke to see this magnificent state, a gigantic empire within a great republic, as it exists now with its high roads, rail roads, great cities, forests, farms, factories, packing plants, orchards, and happy people even his fine voca bulary and extraordinary imagina tion would fail to express the wonder utith which he would be filled. Inexhaustible inconceivable, is the wealth of this state. Yet its great ness lies neither in size nor in wealth, but in character and purpose. When the people of Texas, wrote their Declaration of Independence of Mexico, and established themselves a republic before they entered the United States, they put in.,that de claration a few words more import ant to the future of Texas and humanity than all the oil wells, all the fertile land. Texas cut herself off from Mexico because the government of Mexico had failed to provide public schools for the children. But the bigness of Texas does overwhelm you, after visiting other geographical'division^, Just as the bigness of the coliseum, or the grand eur of St. Peters impasses you, after seeing other.buildings. In an ordinary static, or country, you shoot an arrow in the air, and it falls to earth you know not where. But you can shoot an arrow, or a shell from a “big bertha” in Texas, go to the spot where it landed, shoot it again, and keep that up indefinite* ly, and it will land, everlastingly, IN TEXAS. It’s really a big state, and very beautiful. Buy yourself a little house in Switzerland and a little automobile. That car will take you in a short run to France, Italy, Germany, Aust ria, Belgium. Settle, in the center of Texas, and ycu will wear out your tires trying to get anywhere else. It’s a rugged state, a powerful state, conscious of its present great ness and of the future. It’s a hospitable state. In Ft Worth, of which you shall read more, on another day, you see in a fine pub lic park, a beautifully laid out “1 ourists’ camp." There automobiles crossing the ’continent may stop over night, or as long as they please, and think over the bigness of Texas. 1,000 miles from edge to edge. They are wtlcome, there is no charge, free b; ths are supplied, a big free kitchen with free gas and free water for the tourists’ comfort. No one suggests that you spend a cent, except when you fill your gas tank at 8 or 9 cents a gallon. _ Reconstruction. From The Wichita Eagle. The Japanese government, very wisely, has forbidden any permanent construction in Tokyo until the diet meets, November 10, to consider re | construction plans. The capital city is to be rebuilt along modern lines. It is probable that all new and per manent buildings will be of steele ana concrete, as this combination lias demonstrated its peculiar fitness for meeting the problems of an earth qu.,ke country The diet will hear plans for recon st’uctlon of the city. It happens that Dr. Charles Beard. Who was dis charged from the staff of Columbia university a few years ago for having "rrUical” ideas, probably will be the gr» atest figure in the rebuilding of To' yo. Dr. Beard is an idealist. Idealists are given to dreaming. One of Dr. Beard’s ’’radical” dreams al ways has had to do with the build ing of model cities. He was in Tokyo a lew years ago, and thought the eitv was rather unfortunate in its * lack of plan. He drew complete plans for its rebuilding. He was in l>i.yo with these plans Just before the earthquake, and showed the plans to ; ome of his friends, who were in dr.lrent W|!th the radical idealist, and laughed at him 'when he had gone, say ng it was too bad that a fellow wit!i such a brilliant mind should give way to so much dreaming and too ish talk. When Dr. Beard landed on this side he was handed a cablegram from the Japanese governmental authorities, sking him to return at once and bring hi* plans along. The earthquake had changed the city slightly since the Dr had left, and perhaps there might be !-omething in the Idea of a model cap tal after all. T c Japanese diet will consider the plans of Dr. Beard, and probably wil, be wise enough to adopt them An& then the Dr. may spend the rest of a very useful life superintending the building of one of the world's greatest cities. _ , The brain of’ a baby gorilla at birth in almost as big as a rtuman baby's but grows at t much slowei pace through out infanvV. FREEDOM OF 8PEECH Agnes Repplier. Very few of ,us can live after our own minds, because the tyran ny of opinion Is reinforced by the tyranny of circumstances. But none of us can hope to live after our own minds unless we are free to speak our own minds; to speak thorn, not only In the company of friends, but openly in the riiarket place; and not with a blast of de fiance, but calmly as in the exer cise of an unquestioned preoga tive. Under no other circumstance Is it possible to Say anything of value or of distinction. Under no other circumstane can we enjoy the luxury of self-respect. There is an occaisional affectation of courage and candor on the part of those who know they are strik ing a popular note; but to dare to be unpopular, "in the best and noblest sense of a good and noble word," is to hold fast to the prin ciples which speeded the May flower to Plymouth Rock, and Penn to the shores of the Dela ware. THE ORIGIN OF OUR SURNAMES By T. P. G. In early times there seemed no call. For more than given names, like Paul; But as the people grew apace, Things got quite muddled ’mong the race. The people anxious to hang Jake, Might get the wrontf one by mis take; And so they figured out a plan, To give a surname to each man. The thrifty Scotch conceived a way, Which still is followed to this day; It rained so hard one place, by gosh, A laird called his clan “Mclnotsh.” A Russian peasant trained to war, Fought nobly for an ancient Czar; With “hives’* and “cooties” he was rich, - So he was known as “Iv-an-itch." The Irish of the Emerald Isle, Have names that make a person smile; As take the name of “Hooligan.” It sounds so much like “give again.” Then comes along the thrifty Swede, In naming families, he was tree'd: He wished to keep the name begun, So “Ole” ngmed his boy “Oleson.” The Chinaman from far Pekin, Is known to us as plain “Ah Sin;” While Turks from Turkey by the score, Take names they never had before. The African who in the wild, Knew naught of surnames as a child; When 'mancipation had begun, Took on great names, like “Wash ington.’’ Our English fathers we all know. Took every kind and made them go; From looks or objects, trait or trade, A long list of their names is made. And those too late to choose from lists, Were bunched together and called "Smiths;’’ And likewise some of skin and bones. Were given names like “Brown or Jones." Ans so it goes from sire to son. Perpetuating names begun; Which from the day their choice was made, Conveys to us a trait or trade. But as some writer known to fame, Has tritely said, "What’s in a name;’’ I’ll say farewell and not adieu. For my name is unknown to you. GUIDANCE TETTER THAN REGULATION. Walk In the light.—I. John 1:7. To live up to a principle is harder than to obey a set of rules. But just for that reason It may be better. People are always asking for defi nite and precise ethical prescrip tions—or trying to impose them on others. Take so many grains of this vir tue, and so many minims of that good habit, and so many drops of this moral tincture. Avoid this vice of conduct, and that error of diet, nnd this crime of thought But St. John says to'us very simp ly, "Walk in the light."
