and the territory of Keewatin
The news comes flying over the
wires that William Jennings Bryan
has bolted his party in Nebraska and
refuses to support the democratic
nomineefor governor To say that
such news creates a stir is expressing
it mildly It would seem to eliminate
the Commoner as a future political
leader and remove him as an issue
But Bryan takes the step deliberately
InNexplanation of his conduct he says
simply and without any todo that
the nominee Mayor Dahlman is so
far separated from him in the issues
involved in the campaign in Nebraska
that he can by no sort of stretch
reach him Mr Bryan has been say
ing to the republicans for some time
that they should stand for a principle
rather than the party and this in
short is what he has done He favors
county option in the settlement of the
prohibition issue and the primaries of
the state indorsed the plan but the
nominee for governor went on record
as saying he would veto such a law

ANNOUNCEMENTS
if passed And there you are Bryan
fully understands the importance of
his act and is perpared no doubt to
meet the issue And it might be said
in passing that many other voters
are coming to view the situation as
does Bryan to support those men
who represent tne issues In this
movement the student of politics sees
the day of independent movement at
hand To hold support and respect
the political party of the future must
stand for a principle and fight for it
and cut out the jobbing and trading
and grafting Bryan and Rooesvelt
both seem to be willing to risk their
political futures to the independent
action and are asking no quarters It
remains to be seen if they can make
good

The best way for railroad corpora
tions to create favor in the eyes of
the people is to stay out of politics
and deal squarely with the people
More harm has come to railroads than
good through the railroads intermed
ling in things they should let alone
and through schemes to rob the pub
lic If they would stay strictly onto
the job of hauling freight and pas
sengers and in developing the sec
tions through which they run they
would have the full cooperation of
the public
The Herald takes absolutely no
stock inthe assertion that the rail
road claim bill commonly called the
I G N bill passed by the last
special session of the legislature will
stop railroad building in Texas The
law requires nothing at the hands of
the railroads that has not always un
derstood to be the duty of such corpo
rations namely to pay the current ex
penses out of the earnings of the
road Bondholders buy the bonds
with the understanding that the road
will pay its operating maintaining
and other current expenses out of its
earnings before they get any interest
on their bonds The law simply makes
it compulsory that they do this No
money is Invested in railroad bonds
with the understanding that the road
must rob its creditors to pay the
interest on its bonds Such bonds so
offered on the market would never
find a taker Most railroads recognize
this principle and have never tried to
evade it The law simply serves no
tice on corporations that they must
take care of i their expenses first and
the bonds afterward And the Her
Ws1r iV
nrraWrfw w un ustyiiftie
aid can see no injustice 1 n that If
Texas needs more railroads which it
most certainly will and does as it
grows men and money will be found
to build them and without asking for
any relief from their honest debts
The Houston Post advises President
Taft to give his former friend and
playmate the boot good and strong
This is good advice Roosevelt has
conducted himself In such a way as
to no longer claim the political friend
ship of the president But on the
other hand this being a free country
Roosevelt has a right to express his
opinion about issues and if he does
not like the conduct of the present
administration he has a right to say
so in seven different languages Be
cause he was once a republican and
the friend of the president does not
make it necessary for him to submit
to anything that he does not believe
in To be sure the president if he
believes in his policies should kick
the colonel in the slats but on the
other hand Roosevelt has no wooden
legs and is at no disadvantage under
the rules of the game
The people out Abilene way have
just voted a bond issue for oad build

gotten rid of and every county spends
enough in tax money and wasted time
to build good roads

A RESOLUTION OF ANDERSON
COUNTY TEACHERS
The public school teachers of An
derson county resolved the other day
among other things that we shall
endeavor to improve our school
grounds and buildings in various
ways
It would not be easy to conceive of
many resolutions more salutary for
public school teachers to make Now
that we in Texas are beginning to ac
quire a sense of ugliness there are
few things that should obtrude them
selves on us more promptly and im
pressively than the condition of the
average school yard in this state It
the average school yard is a bare
plot of dirt littered with the remnants
of lunches It is without grass and
without flowers and even trees are
exceptional It is hard and perhaps
impracticable to maintain a lawn
where no keep off the grass sign is
to be tolerated without invading the
inalienable right of our youth to romp
hard but trees and flowers are en
tirely practicable and the general ab
sence of them is typical of our neglect
of those expedients that can be used
to cultivate the finer sensibilities
that make character
have its garden club to work under
the direction of the teachers for the
beautification of the school grounds
Experience has shown also that the
doing of thiskind of work cultivates
in the children a sense of the beauti
ful and a desire to he surrounded by
beauty that abides with them in ma
turity Thus in this way forces are
generated that work in after years
for the benefit of all That there is
so little of beauty and so much ugli
ness in the average town of Texas is
one of the inexorable consequences of
the failure of those who were the
men and women when we were the
children to make beauty essential to
us by habituating us to beautiful sur
roundings What we failed to inherit
we ought nevertheless to bequeath in
accordancp with the duty that one
generation is under to work for the
betterment of the next For let no
one imagine that a cultivation of love
for the beautiful does not improve the
moral fiber
These Anderson county school
teachers have set a splendid example
It is questionable if men andwomen
who are content with the appearance
of the average school yard in Texas
aie quite fit for the high calling of
teaching Certainly such as they do
not give much evidence that they are
endowed with those finer sentiments
which they must have if they are to
exert a wholesome influence over the
hearts of those whom they are em
ployed to teach Galveston News
