THE ELDER STATESMEN.
The statement of Judge George
Clark of Waco that he would serve
in the next legislature if the pco
pie of his county should elect him
ought to be riveted upon tne alien
tion of the people of Texas. What
ever else may be said of it, it can
not be doubted that his willingness
springs from the purest strain of pu
triotism the sort of patriotism now
most in demand in Texas
When the Post suggested that it
wa a time for the greatest and
wisest of our statesmen to be called
out. it was speaking to the point
and the prcs of Waco readily re
sponded. We have no doubt that
Waller Baker would be willing to
serve as Judge Clark's colleague,
and wouldn't that be a team?
Uvery legislative district in the
State contains ineu of character and
vt-:u3nm. Mud the Post hones that
the newspaper will aid the move
ment to call them to the front. Un
questionably men of this character
would not care to serve in a lejsis
lni!vefinficit' but thev can be
drafted. It is with the people to de
cide. If they want the elder states
men, all yhey have to do is to sy
so.
It would be the most remarkable
political occurrence of the time to
have n State legislature of this kind.
It would excel in the quality of its
pecsonncl the house of representa
tives at Washington, and would
equal in dignity, wisdom and char
acter the United States Senate.
For once, let the legislature seek
tlhe men. Draft the elder statesmen
and we will have at the conclusion
of their labors a set of laws that
nvould challenge the admiration of
mankind. All the blunders of the
past would be obliterated. Our sys
tems of administration would be in
harmony with the progress of the
times. Our taxing system would be
equalized and just to all concerned.
3vcry act would be the result of
ripe judgment, profound wisdom
and unadulterated patriotism. To
the State it would mean more than
can be measured by dollars.
And the people may rest assured
that the plan is practicable. The
elder statesmen will not decline the
call.
Think of a legislature having in
its mambership Roger Q. Mills,
Governor Hogg, Georfe Clark, M.
M. Crane, N. W. Philey, Dick
Wynne, John Church, Horace Cate,
J. S, Griwaau. Horace Chilton,
Henry D. McDonald, Howard Teui

Ramsey, K. IC. Leett. Walter (
Tips, anfl doeetts of others men
who would jrrace any legislative or
deliberative body on earth.
And yet Texas can have just such
a legislature--one, that would fix
things and would ptu the old State
on the pathwav to inimitable jrlory.
And as we have said, none of
these men are too Jfleat or too wise
to serve Texas in the legislature at
this time.

small . To This Hicrald there seems
an easy remedy for this. Reduce
the number of legislators to, say,
fifty, select such men as those men
tioned by the Post, and there will
be less, but more effective legisla
tion. Of course with the reduction
in number could come a corres
ponding increase of pay, and the
true statesman while bcincr thus
enabled to -serve his state, would at
the some time act with more facility
in attending to the state's business,
in order to the more quickly return
to his own private affairs, vhich
would ot necessity suncr more or
less from the non-attention. The
trouble is the men who are willing
to sacrifice themselves upon the
altar of their state, in the capacity
of law makers, are usually those
whose ambition is their only stock
in trade and for exceeds their abili
ty. Of course there are exceptions,
but thcije only prove the rule, but
a majority of them have not the
know how," and like the smart
young man who essayed to upbraid
an aged but learned physician who
had taken a drop to much and had
fallen by the roadside- they will
never get over what is the matter
with them.
As the Post says let the place
seek the man, and turn a deaf
ear to the place hunter. If the
Hon. George Clark, of Waco, is
willing to sacrifice to a certain ex
tent, his own personal interests,
and harkeu to the voice of duty,
by accepting the call of his fellow
men, others can be found who will
do likewise. When this is done,
there will be fewer and better laws,
and the confidence of the world
will be our own.
He Got the Place;
It is not generally known that
meerschaum is mined like coal,
but iu Asia minor its mining is an
important industry, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin. Now, don't
eve ask anyone it meerscnaum
grows on a tree. Del Rio Mirror.
Many people have the impression
that ttieerachauuT u-petrified sea
froth, from the fact it is often
fouud along the sea shore iu
peculiarly rounded snow white
limps. This may hove originated
from the German word meers
chaum" which meant, senfroth,
and was ignorauly supposed to be
the orfjgiia of the material of which ,
meersdMi&uu pipes, etc are manu
factured .
Sccretarv Bonaparte, speaking
before a meeting of the A. O. II.
at Baltimore recently, told the fol
lowing story:
"Ayoung minister who was to
preach on trial before a congrega
tion of multi-millionaires at a very
fashionable watering place, ran
over his most carefully prepared
sermons with a judicious friend to
select one suitable. He thought
himself a discourse on 'ThoaEvil of
Divorce' might do, but his adviser
shook his head every third wo
man in the congregation had been
divorced at least once that sort of
talk wouldn't fill the bill at all.
"He offered in its place one on
'The Evils of Gambling, but this
was pronounced even worse; all
his expected hearers of both sexes
played 'bridge' during most of
their spare time, and three-fourths
of the men put out big money at
poker besides.
"He had a third on 'The Evil of
Drink,' but the wise counsellor
turned it down likewise. Too many
of the parish every night walked
into the casino, and were carried
out of it; the topic would seem
'personal.'
"At last he fished out an old
thesis of his college dnys on The
Sin of the Scribes and Pharisees.'
'That's it, exactly,' cried his de
lighted friends. 'Pitch into the
Scribes and Pharisees for all you're
worth; hit 'em hard, the harder
the better, for they ain't got no
friends nowadays.' So the young
man gave the Scribes and Pharisees
hail Columbia, hurt nobody's feel
ing, pleased everybody and 'got his
place."
There is nothing makes a woman
more indignant than to think the
street car conductor has forgotten
her and then have him come and
demand her nickel.
A few months of youthful study
and application will greatly lessen
the burden and toil in after years.
