The above are a few of the
modest claims of the Bonham

ways recognized the fact thatthis

West Texas in everthing but wind,
and now the News leaves them
without even that distinction.

Some time ago President Roose-
velt had the motto: ‘‘In God we
Trust.” removed from United
States coins, and the Houston
Post says it is the only trust1 he
ever busted. Perhaps so, but in
our opinion he now bids fair to
bust the biggest trust this country
has ever known—the Republi-
can party.
The day dreamer is the architect
of the world’s progress: the finan-

Austin, Feb. 24.—A sensational turn
was taken here Monday in the suit of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance com-
pany against Insurance Commissioner
Love, which constitutes a genera) as-
sault on the Robertson law. The turn
Is In the form of a letter to Attorneys
Locke ft Locke, in which they arc
summoned to appear before the com-
missioner to substantiate a serious
charge made in their brief In the su-
preme court. Mr. Love's letter in sub-
stance, Is as follows:
“In a recent printed brief filed In

Application For Writ of
Not Granted.
Austin, Feb. 2ti.—The supreme court
refused application for wait of error
of the Waters-Pierce Oil company In
both receivership and the ouster suit
of defendant company, thus ending
litigation of the state against this cor-
poration so far as state courts are con-
cerned. The supreme court did not
render an opinion on either applica-
tion, as it never does on refusing an
application for a writ of error. The
defendant corporation will ask for re-
hearing to perfect the record prepara-
tory to taking the case to the United
Ktates supreme court.
Action of supreme court means that
the opinions of the Third' court of
civil appeals are affirmed in every
respect. In fact, the action of su-
preme court sustains every conten-
tion and allegation made by ftttOl'PCl
General Davidson when he institut'd
suit against this company. The ap-
pointment of State Receiver J. E: k-
hardt tot ake charge of property of
this corporation is regarded as proper
and legal.
The sudden termination of this
great litigation by supreme court
created quit* a flurry in state house
circles and when Governor Campbell

then left to hold a conference between
themselves. While It Is generally be-
lieved that, the so-called lumber trust
is under scrutiny, it is Intimated that
something else is receiving attention.
J. W. Blake of Dallas took charge of
the Zulch State Bank of Zulch, Madi-
son county, by direction of Bank Com-

The attorney general's department
through Mr. Hawkins gave out a state-

against this company before the Rob-

county, and the boll weevils don’t
bother it either.
The Pecan Gap Tribune, in
numerating the many attainments
of their worthy postmaster Gid-
eon among other things says he
ean name the sccessful candidates
in the coming election. It may
be pertinent to inquire who Ihe
next republican candidate for
president will be. There are a
lot of postmasters who would
to know which side of the

Matty persons and newspapers
in Texas on both sides of the
Bailey question, including Mr.
Bailey himself have said and are
saying things that they will be
ashamed of some day. They
ought to be ashamed of them now.

have1 decided to make practical
.demonstrations of the drag on
oile of the prominent roads near
Stamford. They will make tlmse
drags after each rain and test the
eff«ct thoroughly. These organi-
zations will also make a thorough
campaign for the improvement of
the roads during the summer
months. The county commis-
sioners are in hearty accord with
the movement and will afford
every facility and every encour-
agement to these organizations.
Two years ago there were some
xplit-log drags made in Delta
county, but so far as we know
were used very little. Wo believe
it would be wise if every commis-
sioner in the county would have
one or more drags made and make
a thorough test of their efficiency.
In Vernon county. Missouri,
where the writer was reared there
are farmers who keep a 'drag to
work the roads running by their
place after rains. They get their
road tax receipt for this, but by
doing the work when it is too wet
to work their land they lose no
valuable time from their crops,
and yet keep their roads in the
best condition.
