The Bonham News, a paper
which does not attenpt to defend
Senator Bailey, has the follow-
ing to say of some of the motley
aggregation of misfits who as-
sembled at Waco on March 7:
"When I see such men as Bill
Shaw, Col. W. L. Crawford and
Patrick O'Keefe, of Dallas,
Judge Gerald, of Waco, George
Pendleton and others marching
under the banner of those op-
posed to Senator iBailey on the
ground that he has betrayed the
people of Texas, I can't help but
a X htvvt ob-
served the course of things pol-
itical in Texas for a long time,
and these men have never been
on the right side of any question,
so far as I can recall. The fight
against Bailey can be a just fight
only wfcen it is pitched on a high
plane. It is a question of per-
sonal rectitude in public servants
or it is nothing. The idea that
the men named care anything
about norals in private or public
life is anusing. They have here-
tofore lepresented nothing that
has teided to uplift the people.
They are ever so much op posed
to Baiby, but it is not because
they txlieva he has represented
the W&ers-Pierce Oil Company.
So far is that outfit is concerned,
most aiy of them would repre-
sent anything that had the mon
ey to py them. But alas! they
have p ivate grievances that I
know otof*"
Harsh phyeics react, weakens
the bowels, cause chronic con-
stipation. Doan's Regulets op-
erate easily, tone the stomach,
care constipation. 25c. Ask
your druggist for them.— 28-4t
Acdents will happen, but the
best-rgulated families keep Dr.
Thorns' Eclectric Oil for such
emerpncies. It subdues the
pain nd heals the hurts.—28-4t

HON. JUDSON HARMON.
The Hon. Judson Harmon of
Ohio has been prominently men-
tioned as a vice presidential
possibility on the Democratic
ticket with W. J. Bryan. There
are material differences in the
views of the two men on politcal
issues.'
The latest from Mr. Harmon
is that he refuses to be put on
the ticket with the Great Com-
moner. It seems that the gen-
tleman ha§ had visions of the
honor of first place upon the
ticket.
The question of running mate
for Mr. Bryan is now the per-
plexing question. Gov. W. L.
Douglass of Massachusetts has
tlaa^.bocn mentioned tut thj
place as has also Hon. Morris
Sheppard and other Southern
leaders.
Where there's Will
There's e Way
Cowardice sits and whines "I
can't;" courage forces succcess,
C. A. Ward entered a Byrne
Business College last year, with
only $33 to take a bookkeeping
and shorthand course. He paid
this on tuition and material, did
janitor work to pay the rest,
worked on Saturdays and at odd
times to pay his board. The
day he graduated, he had paid
his tuition, all expenses, had $20
cash and a $50 a month position,
secured by the college, waiting
for him. Such courage and de-
termination as his* always win
respect, admiration, aid,success!
Another young man enrolled
with us less than $10. He paid
his way, board and tuition by
janitor work, milking, cutting
wood, etc. Business men ad-
mired his pluck and aided him.
He completed, did the official re-
porting of his district for four
year,' and is today the respected
head of the growing college.
Another you man quit work
in a saw mill, in debt, borrowed
the money to come to our school
for a combined course of book-
keeping and shorthand, brought
his wife with him, did light
house keeping. The day he
finished his course, we placed
him in a good railway position
at $65 per month, and he has
advanced until he is now getting
more than $100. What would
weakness or fear have done for
those young men? What did
stiinina, will power do?

College, Tyler, Texas, today for
catalog and full particulars.
Make the start. Do it now.
Get in school during the Spring
and Summer and be holding a
good position when the busy
Fall season rolls around.

Text on Agriculture
At the meeting of the State
Text-book Board in February,
Prof. W.C. Welborn's new book,
the Elements of Agriculture, was
odopted for the public schools of
the State. Since then Prof.
Welborn has been busy revising
the book and traveling over the
State verifying certain facts,
preparatory to getting out a
larger edition. The work has
been carefully criticised by ex-
perts and the necessary correc-
tions have been made, and it
will probably be ready for the
public within a month.
Many farmers in the various
parts of the State have received
the impression that the book
will be distributed by Professor
Welborn or the A, and M. Col-
lege, and a great many letters
of inquiry are being received
This ernoneous impressions no
doubt came from the fact that
the royalties are to be devoted
to public uses. The book will be
handled entirely by the publish-
ers, The McMillan Company, in
the usual way.
This book brings the theory
nearer to the actual practice of
agriculture than any other book
yet published on the subject, and
it also corrects many errors
that have been made by former
writers.

President Harrington Peoria
The word of a prominent and
respected business man should
be listened to. Mr. F. M. Har-
rington, president of the Har-
rington Manufacturing Co.,
Peoria, 111., writes that he was
for years a constant sufferer
from indigestion and constipa-
tion, which nothing seemed to
relieve, and he had almost given
up hope when he began to take
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
and it made a new man of him.
It is absolutely guaranteed to do
what is claimed, and if you want
to try it before buying, send
your address for a free sample
bottle to Pepsin Syrup Co., 119
Caldwell Bldg,, Monticeilo, Hi.
It is sold by C. W. Newkirk
Co., at 50c and $1 a bottle.
