There are thousands of cities and towns In the United States named after men. but comparatively few of these Individuals are worthy of having their names thus perpetuated. If ever a man deserved that honor, however, surely It was Sara Houston of whom It has recently been said "Unless 'Old San Jacinto' Is known and understood, until be Is given his Just dues, there can be no clear and proper understanding" of the stars that stud the flag. Leave Sam Houston out of the story, and the American chronicle Is a thing of gups and many unlntelliglbilitles. for not only did he make history at various times, but In a great critical period he WAS history." Although three states vie for the honor of calling Sara Houston their own, he belongs not only to them but to the whole nation. So It Is appropriate that the name "Houston" should be upon the tongue of all Americans within the next few weeks. It Is also appropriate that there should appenr at this time a new biography of "Old San Jacinto" such as George Creel's "Sain Houston .A Colossus in Buckskin," published recently by the Cosmopolitan Book corporation.
