The Caller is pleased at the news
that B. F. Yoakum is likely to be the
w-ontrolUog factor in the St. Louis
Brownsville & Mexico road hereafter;
also Uiat B. F. Y.'b new field of oper
ations lies in the Southwest, lather
'ban In the north and 'in V?.H street.
He has always beeu a oustru- tor, a
developer. For that In i alled tue
Jim UUl or the Southwest He is also
the friend of Texaa. th" friend of the
tGulf. Coast, and of th.- Gulf Coast's
t-Wet tity and tide walK outlet. Cor.
Hub Christi.
All that is better and more pervice
atde than being a speculator, a mere
dabbler in stocks, a magician like Jay
Could, who wreckea and ruined when
it suited his purpose.
(Leas than twenty-five years ago
this man Yoakum, who bulks next to
Harriman In the railroad world, was
the Jocal commercial agent of the
Gould iines in San Antonio. He was
a -native Texan and had previously
peddled fruit trees foe a start-
dn association with uriah Lott, who
fcas built more small railroads on
nothing than any man in the United
States, he helped raise the capital for
the San Antonio & Aransas Pass "road.
This gave him a start.
From the S. A. & A. i. to the man
agement &t the Santa Fe sjptem and
from the Santa Fe to the control of
fcoth the Frisco and Rock Island sys
tems, which he consolidated, were
prodigious leaps as .easy to him as
turning so many handsprings.
It was he, in co-operation witn
Stobert J. Kleberg, John G. Kenedy
and other "big pasture owners, who
devised the land bonus plan which
ftnllt the Brownsville road and opened
'.hundreds of thousans of acres to
hurras and towns! tes between here and
the Rio Grande. It ha3 created new
wealth as If by magic, for all con
cerned, and has transformed Corpus
-Christ! from a sleepy town to a bust,
llcg and ambitious seaport city. That
much -we owe Yoakum and his asso
ciates intthe Brownsville road.
Yoakum has loomed so large in
railroad affairs of late years as to ex
cite the jealousy, if not alarm, of less
capable Unit amhitious magnates.
That was the cause ef his break witn
theMoores and Dan Reid, the owners
of the i.ock Island. It -was i oakum
w3io grouped their properties Into the
Steal Frisco-Rock Island System with
numerous small lines which carried
the Yoakum Influence from Chicago
to Brownsville and from Birmingham
In the southeast to San Francisco in
I he West.
The Moores, in a statement given
out a few days ago in New York, said
they pocketed a loss of 57,000,000 to
get rid of Yoakum and the Frisco. On
the artier hand.. Yoakum and his
friends got back for. 10,$42,6Q0
what they had previously, sold for
$20,000,000.
Ju starting out to do up B. F. Y.
and his friends the Moores picked up
a Tartar. Any friend's interests are
sale iu Yoakum's hands, as is evi
denced by the implicit confidence witn
which millions are placed at his beck
and call by big backers, but .eaven
pity te high financier who tries to
freeze out or slack a hand on the
Texan. He will find . F. Y. as wise
as a fox and as game as a Javelin.
So far he has never ditched a friend
or hauled down his colors to an en
emy. We glory in him for that, for
he ia a exan.
Remembering he is our neighbor
and friend, we shall not go back on
him because he Is rich and powerful.
Corpus can wefl afford to forgive
those things. We cannot-afford to go
back on our rich neighbors. There
are too many of them and we neeu
them all. CoVpus Christi Caner.

Wliv Plain Men Attract ueautum
Women. ' y&ijj
A fact t hat no one can deny is
that for some woimsn a really plain '
man sterns to -have a definite power
of attraction. Can it be that, if
beautiful thenieslves, they find "a
charm in their opposite; or is it that
they brook no rival near the throne, j
and see in a handsome man more or ,
less of a competitor? A good-look,
ing husband or brother attracts no
tice, and Her Royal Highness Worn,
an may refuse to be in the back
ground. At any rate, there can bej
doubt that an ugly man seems often
to wield an influence that is quits
uncanny.
The trend of the times may have
something to say on the subject. A
modern woman, with her brains and
her freedom and her strenuous Ideals
has no use for what is weak, Inslp.
id, and decadent. She has no place
In her heart fo rthe scented exquisite
who waves his hair, twists his
moustache, manicures his hands, and
admires his face in the looking-glass.
In fact, pink and white prettiness Is
now at a discount, and most of us
would sooner see our men brown
and battered and serenely conscious
of their own lack of attractions.
Rougb-hewn features, we say, show
strength, and a plain form may be
the shell of a great soul, a keen
brain, and soaring ambitions. Cer
tain it is that the Adonis type has
gone out of fashion. The woman of
today scorns the "beauty man,
I avoids him as a friends, and disre
gards him as a husband. Mrs. Fitz
roy Stewart In the January Strand.
