An Argument for Government Control.
Now that the American railroads
have come under what amounts to
virtually one ownership and control,
centered In New York City, it may be
necessary, as the federal supreme
Court's recent decision indicates, to
vest offilcal regulation of tho rail
roads in the federal government That,
at any rate, will be the chief argu
ment in support of the concentration
of this control if it shall come to
pass. Houston Chronicle.

commissioners' court for the purpose
of jierfecting plans for a petition to
the commissioners' court for an elec

ment in Brazos counjfy, is of vital im
portance to this work. If a petition
is agreed upon it can be prepared and
presented to the court at its Novem
ber meeting and an early hearing can
thus be secured. This work can only
be accomplished by the assistance of
every member of the committee. And
right here it is well to call attention
to the fact that 10 o'clock means 10
o'clock. It is very unpleasant for the
chairman and a few members of tho
committee to be obliged to wait from
fifteen to thirty minutes for tardy
members. It is true that every mem
ber of the committee is a busy man.
He was selected for thu reason. Busy
men are capable men. Yet one man's
time is as valuable as another's. If
every member of a committee will be
prompt to answer a call business can
be promptly transacted and all return
to their own affairs. The members of

OE THE BONES
Red Cross Christmas Seal Campaign
to Raise Funds to Build Hos
pital for Children.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Texas Anti-Tuberculosis
Association in Austin last Friday it
was decided to establish a hospital
home on the gulf coast for children
afflicted with tuberculosis of the
bones and glands.
It was reported to the committee
that there was practically no pro
vision in tbe state for these children,
and, In fact, that little had been done
throughout the country In the way of
special hospital provision outside ot
the Sea Rreeze Hospital IrNew York
City. This institution was made fa
mous a few years ago by "Smilin?
Joe's" campaign for funds for a new
hospital building.
A medical member of the committee
described this form of tuberculosis to
lay members as consumption of the
bones. It was stated that most of the
hunchbacks were cases of tuberculosis
of the spine and that most cases of
hip disease, resulting in a shortened
limb, were tuberculosis of the hip. En
larged joints were also attributed la
many cases to bone tuberculosis. The
positive statement was made that this
form of the disease was not conta
gious. Physicians frequently find that
the children of consumptives are af
flicted with tuberculosis of the bones.
The treatment given at the Sea
Breeze Hospital on Coney Island, New
York, was described. The little pa
tients spend practically all of their
time in the open air and much of their
time, when the temperature permits,
in the water, as the Institution is only
a few yards from the beach. Salt wa
ter and sea air, combined with skill
wul surgery, brings wonderful results.
It was pointed out to the committee
that the Texas gulf coast was, because
of its milder climate, permitting sea
bathing practically all the year round,
an ideal location for such an institu
tion and the prediction was made that
cure? could be effected there as read
ily as in some of the famed sanitoria
rf a similar nature nil thja slmros of
I the Mediteranean sea. Members of the
I committee expressed their belief that
'gulf coast towns would vie -with each
other in offering inducements to se
cure the location of the sanitarium.

. . . ... ,. . - ,
maintenance of the Institution and fo'i
its other work the
association will
soon place on sale, in every town iu I
Texas, the 1912 Red Cross Christmas
eals and the organization plans to
sell 1,000,000 seals in Texas between
now and Christmas..
The Red Cros3 Christmas seals are
sold every year at one cent each. The
seals are placed on the backs of let
ters for weeks before Christmas and
on Christmas .gifts and packages. Bus
ires houses buy them in large quan
tities ani use them on their mail, on
monthly statements and on pay en
velopes. One member of the commit
tee told of an instance where a long
overdue bill was paid in December of
last vear because his debtor was so i
pleased to find the little message of
Christmas cheer and good will at
tached to his statement.
Tho nt;snci:tinn is nrpnnizinir com-
ttees of ladies in every town in the.

seals. Mail orders for seals have al
ready been received at the associa
tion's office in the state capitol build

THE GRAFTER AND THE SUCKER.
One of my esteemed contemporaries
takes his en in hand to land on tho t mijoind enough w ater to irrigate 70.
sucker. He claims that the sucker i-sjooo acres of lanJ.
a nuisance anu an abomination anu
should be speedily confined if not
wiped bodily off the face of the earth.
The sucker, as this editor claims, en
courages fake enterprises and in this
way does a great harm to society and
all kinds of legitimate business.
All of which Is true. But when he
talks about shutting up all the suck
ers or exterminating them he is con
versing through his head covering. If
all the suckers were confined in jails,
penitentiaries or insane asylums, or
whatever might be decided on as a
uroper kind of place to confine them,
these institutions would need to be
enlarged and multiplied by 50 and
there would not be enough left outside
to guard of care for the suckers in
side. For a vast majority of men are suck
ers. Man is prone to tie a suener as
the sparks are to fly upward. It is
true that we don't all snap at the same
kind of bait What catches the eye of
one doesn't appeal to another, but if
the grafter only knows with what kind
of bait to conceal his hook he can
gather his victim every time.
The dweller in the city remarks
"ha! ha!" and again "he! he!" as ho
sees the Reuben invest in the gilded
brick and the next day he himself in
vests his simoleons in wireless tele
graph stock or yields to the seduction
of a promoter who is representing a
company that Is going to make a net
profit to its stockholders of 500 per
cent per annum by planting and har
vesting bananas In Central America.
The wise guy who can not under
stand how any whiskered tiller -of the
soil could possibly be fool enough to
let himself be taken in by a lightning
rod agent will cheerfully invest in a
gold mine located somewhere in the
mountains of Alaska, where the snfcw
Is 10 feet deep during 11 months in
the year and 8 feet deep durlgn tha
other month.
The city-wise one watches the boob
at the fair handing his cash to the
man with the three shells and tbe
little rubber ball and remarks that he
can not understand bow any man can
be such a fool, and then goes straight
way and buys an alligator farm or in
vests in a ranch among the foot hills
of the Andes, where he expects to
raise gllaloo birds for their plumage
and clear up 50 per cent a month.
Even the grafter himself is often
worked by some other gTafter who
happens to have a kind of bait with
which the first grafter is not familiar.
