'Gorman Consul In Austin.
Baron Von Mordenflycht, Ger-
man Consul at New Orleans, ar-
rived in Austin Monday on his
tour of Texas. The Baron ex-
pressed himself as delighted with
what he had seen in this state
and with the prosperous and con-
tented condition of the German
citizens. He further says:
‘‘It is not rrty purpose upon my
present visit to Texas to aet as
the promoter of German coloni-
zation in this state. The trip is
made as a personal one and notj

“It is the prevailing opinion
there that the climate of Tejas is
not suited to Germans; that it’s
too warm and is such a radical
change from the climate of their
native country as to be undesir-
able for emigrants. Another ob-
jection that is raised against
Texas in comnrtbn with other
southern states is the race ques-
tion. I am glad to say I have
found the existing prejudice as
to climate and negroes unfounded

Newspaper lineup for the

complete. The Dal.-Gal. News,
Fort Worth Telegram, Houston
Chroniole, Austin Statesman and
San Antonio Express are for
Bell; the Houston Post and
Dallas Times-Herald are for
Colquitt; the Beaumont Journal
and a majority of the small
dailies and country weeklies are
for Campbell, while Brooks and
Moore each have their support-
ers. In addition to having the
larger number of state papers,
Bell has the party organization,
the railroad attorney and cor-
poration agents enlisted in his
behalf, but Campbell has the
people, and the people usually
win when they act harmoniously
and determinedly.—Beaumont
Journal.
Plain language has not yet
been used, but Senators Bailey
and Tillman have openly declar-
ed that President Roosevelt
sometimes talks without regard
for the truth, and Senator Till-
man has produced documentary
evidence to prove the charge.
History of Roosevelt’s public
life embodies nothing which
would indicate sincerity of pur-
pose or statesmanship. To the
contrary, he is impressive only
in speotacularism and when en-
deavoring to win the plaudits of
the rabble. He is but putty,
however, in the hands of schem-
ing grafters and diplomatic pol-
iticians who are gifted with the
art of disguising ridicule so it
will appear as sincere admiration.
R. W. Haltom, who for a while
was connected with the Herald
staff, will, on June 1, open up
the old Mirror office. His paper
will be called The West Texas
Democrat. Mr. Haltom is an
able writer and a pleasant gen-
tleman, and we reoeive him in
the arena with pleasure.
President Roosevelt evidently
has the wrong idea about the
inhabitants of New York being
guilty of race suicide, as the New
Yorkers are shipping babies to
Texas by the car load.
Now that the Court of appeals
has over-ruled a motion for a
new hearing in the corporation
suit, we wonder what move the
relators will make next.

The Devine News says. “If
a few more fellows who lay
traps and make fair promises in
order to get the advantage of
the weak, were put in stripes,
and a few of the dirty sooundrels
who lie around the oourts and
swear lies as witnesses, or serve
on juries at so muoh per swear,
or serve, were sent up with them,
our daughters and sisters would
be safer. Their orime is worse
than murder and a term in the
nitentiary is too good for
therti.”
Question of the hour.—Have
you had the ‘skeets’ on?
Messrs Cates and Arreers, of
North Carlina, friends of Mr. C.
A. Jackson, were in the oity this
week. Mr. Cates is an expert
Johnson grass man and holds a
responsible position with the
government. They left yester-
day.

regret to see her leave Del Rio,

posted on Del Rio affairs by
reading the Herald.

able that the coast country of
Texas would be too enervatirig to
Germans, but there is a vasfcarea
in the northern and western ^por-
tion of the state which seems to
be suited to Germans. I 'find
that in Dallas and Fort Worth,
and along the lines of railway
running west to El Paso and
through the Panhandle, there are
very few negroes; so this objec-
tion can not apply to those por-
tions of the state. »
“The German emigrants to the
United States have been going
to the north almost exclusively,
the greater portion of them lo-
oating in cities. There is oom*
paritively little emigration from
the rural districts of Germany.
Those whooome from the Father-
land are mostly from the cities
and naturally they seek the oities
when they reach this country.

The Springs pasture is leased
by me and I do not allow stock to

one is caught outting or tearing
