A bill asking congress to appropriate another $1,000,000 for improvement work at Arkansas Pass will be introduced at the next session, according to local information. Incidentally Aransas Pass Is to be made the home port and naval base of the Gulf squadron said to ba Jn the mind of the government.

Although President Taft did not declare himself on the matter whi'a here, there is no doubt that his recent tour through Texas bad a deal to fio with the defense program 'of the southwestern portion of the Unlt 'd "States. For the last few years Fort Sam Houston has been made the scene of concentration of troops for this Reason that It possesses great taction! lvalue as an army base. The Mexican border and the Gulf coast can be Reached from it with equal facility, ISun Antonio being the center of tha railroad lines converging upon both. That the government will have to I Jneet the emergencies that may arise through tha existence of the Panama is beyond dispute. To meet ihem effectively Aransas Pass and Sam Houston must receive greater attention yet than they have in the Jiast.

This might not be necessary did Vhe United States maintain a larger standing army. As it is the location bf garrisons is governed by the consideration that with the least possible loss of "time the troops can be thrown to one of many points. Slnco San An. tonio and Aransas Pass answer thU purpose as no others their greater development is a foregone conclusion. The recent acquisition by the government of the Leon Springs military reservation, an Ideal practice terriai near this city shows that this is being recognized.

There Is no failure to those who stand by the truth." Question: "Who the men who are not wise enough to manage this, Answer: "The man who wrote this is one of them. (Applause). No man here Is capable of it: for is not every man the son of some mother? and no man is wise enough to govern his mother." President Taft said recently: "No man, or group of men, however altruistic, are capable of governing another group of men as well as that group of men could govern themselves," and no man or group of men Is capable of governing women. One reason 'for this Is that every man is born of a subject-mother; and both law and scripture teach us that the child follows the of he mother. The child of a slave-mother i8 born a slave, the child of a black mother is a regardless of the fact that the father may be free or white; and not untl men are born of free and Independent mothers, can they themselves hope to be free.

One reason why women have not rebelled is that they are the slaves of their slavery content In their subjection. They lack proper relf-respeet, which results In a. lack of the highest respect of men for them.

Richards at Farmers' Conor ss Raleigh, N. Nov, 6. The attrac tlons of cities, rewards In mining, man ufacturing and other lines of business for exceptional ability, have tended to augment city and business life at the expense of farm life, and In consequence there lias been ignorance and shifttessness in the care of soils, depletion of the soil's fertility and lessening yields.
