Tlip opponents of good roads might be placed in this cate gory. Before the next state campaign is ended, ii is going to be observed that politics do make strange bed fellows. Men who were at daggers points two years ago, will suddenly discover (hat they are bosom friends. The man who opposes issuing road bonds now, because the weather is dry and the roads good, may be com pared to the Arkansas man who fa.il • d to cover his house when the weather was dry because it did not need it then. The opposition to the good roads bonds is now narrowing down to a few fellows who can give no reason for their position except that they do not want to pay the little extra tax that will be imposed by the au thorization of such bonds The governor is reported as say ing thnt he would oppose any man for office who violated the demands of his party platform, whether it be a candidate for constable or United States senator. We wonder if the governor had any reference to allus sious" In discussing the issuance of bonds for the purpose of building roadt let us not get excited. The sensible way is to take facts and fig erus These are convincing proofs that ι lie Issuance of bonds I:- a mat ter of public economy. Then as a business proposition vote for them. A man was heard to remark that tie was opposed to the issuance of bonds for good roads because it would be placing a debt upon his grand children A moment's reflec tion ought to convince him that by the time his gr.tnd children are on the stage of action this indebtedness will have been liquidated.

I The letting of the contract for the ι Galveston causeway and other cause ways and bridges over the state, and | the wonderful activity in the matter; of road improvement in Tarrant.! Cooke, Harris and other counties! are hopeful signs of the times. The comfort and safety of the traveling public amount to some thine, but. aside from these mal)ers and from many other considerations j the one matter of saving the waste: is quite sufficient argument for! these improvements. The word "waste" in this connec- : tion means everything, from axle trees, wheels, harness, teams and time to the surplus yields of fruits, j vegetables, poultry, pigs and beeves. An easy way to get all the products j of the farms and pastures to market must prove a profitable investment, to both the man in the country and | the man tn town.

Κ ν en the weather man can not shape his course to lie agreeable to all portions of Texas." While the foregoing paragraph in its entirety is not altogether accur-' rate, it prénoms one leading truth that the country ought to take to heart. Thai is, "Texas is. an empire In itselfT'nfortunately, untraveled people who dwell within small po litical subdivisions, by courtesy des ignated as states, can not compre hend what our Chattanooga content- | porary so clearly sets forth. It is true there are at the moment some small spots in Texas that need! rain. There are other small spots that are we!! drenched. A dry spot in Texas or a d ouched spot in Texas calls for a telegram, not because the j matter is of gte.it importance, but because of tin yearning of the world to read any sort of item that bears ι a Texas dateline. Thus it happens in winter that a ti le, rain tells of a blizzard in Tex-j :is, because a disgraceful Kansas flurry sweeps across oui northern 1 boundary. Some people think then j lhat Texas is in the grip of a bliz- j zard. when as a niattei of fact al- ! most every prospect pleases and not i ■ν· ii man is vile.

Colonel Scott, superintendent of the Militar) aradtmy ai West Point, has preppred a memorandum on conditions at that institution which deserves the serious attention of congress. Colonel Scott points out that the! classes graduated from the acade-, my in the last ten years have aver-1 aged fifty-one short of the number required to fill the vacancies in the; commissioned personnel of the army caused by ordinary casualties, such as death, resignation anil retire-, nient, the result being that, of all the ) line officers now in active service only per cent are West Point- ■ et s The importance of these facts is easily indicated. In the lasi ten years the manner of conducting military operations has undergone radical changes. The introduction of smoke less powder machine guns, rifles of: greatly increased range, and high: angle artillery fire, together with the use of electrical appliances for fire control, signaling, etc., has made the fighting of battle largely a matter of scientific application. Henceforth ( battles will be fought b> ad versa r-I ies invisible to one another, and is sues will be determined by com- ; — manders «ecurely shielded miles re mote front the zone of fire. Delicate instruments which enable the officer to locate the enemy beyond distant ' ranges of hills, high-power guns capable of dropping projectiles upon j an objective half a day's march away and many other devices first tested in the Russo-Japanese war means that in the next grand conflict the actual field or battle will be practi cally empty so far as visible factors are concerned, and that the struggle i will be determined chiefly by means :>f scientific and mechanical agen cies secur-'ly hidden from observa tion. These changed conditions signify that the officer capable of efficient service in future war must be a man not only of thorough military train ing, but of highly specialized scien tific education. To expect these j qualifications of the alert, ambitious young man entering the army from civil life is unreasonable. They are to be acquired in their fullness only in an institution devoted exclusively to military education. That is the special function of West Point. To meet the requirements indica- ! ted Colonel Scott recommends that' when a cadet has completed the first ι three years of his course his succes sor shall be immediately nominated j and admitted to the academy This i increase in the carlet corps, it is ex-, plained, if adopted now, would re sult in rlie graduation of about 130 j cadets η v'iir, beginning live years hence. and tints meet ι lie normal re-· criren·'nts >f the army more fully than is possible under exisitlng ι on- : litions.

I ii'Ui I \gent·· r,· -1 · I \ Told of Tilings to Prevent Costly I'rrol· ■ The general passenger depart ment. of t! ·· Katy lias issued a rout ing booklet and a set of "don't*" for its am ins in Texas for the purpose of yiviii.g im'ormation in a nutshell regarding the routing of passengers to Pacific Coast points. Incorrect; routing of passengers is costly to ticket agents in many instances, as they are compelled to pay out of! their own pockets the difference be tween the régulai fare, over the di- ] rect route, and the rate over the toute which is not authorized by the railroad companies. The tour- : ists' tariff book giving rates and 1 ι outings from Texas points to the I'aciflc Coast contains sixty-eight pages, while the Katy's new routing book contains eight pages and all the information necessary to agents j in handling this class of business. The Interstate Commerce Com-, mission has ruled that when a rail road agent makes a mistake in sell ing » ticket the connecting lines are riglit in demanding their full propor tion of the fare, but the Interstate Commerce Commission does not un dertake to say what the agent's own line shall do in the premises. It is said that the Pacific Coast) lilies have profited largely by this ruling, while their eastern connec tions or the agents making mis takes. have been forced to foot the bill. The various routings to Pacific Coast points have caused many , agents to become confused in sell ing through tickets and in numer- ! >us instances they have been forced :o give back part of their salaries to ihe company for making errors.
