libel. This recommendation is
made because The World has
called upon congress to investi-
gate the charges it made concern-
ing the purchase of the Panama
Canal. It incidentally said the
president did not and could not
tell the truth. The World re-
plied vigorously to the message,
and insists that if there was
nothing wrong with the Panama
transaction it is remarkable that

Yet I fear' that X
did not always follow their teach-
ing as ©losely as I should. I see
now that many times I was dis-
respectful to my elders* when I
really did not mean to be. What
seemed to my mind then only fun
now looks very much like rude-
ness.
Sometimes when I meet a party
ot school boys going home and
have to step out ot the way to
keep them from running over me,
I think they need to be taught
some things that are probably
not down in the books they
study. And when I hear them,
a$ I often do, “guying” some
older person who has the temeri-
ty to speak tp them about some-
thing,! wonder if they are all
going to the devil. I fear a great
many of them are headed that
way. But maybe we take these
minor matters too Seriously. I
recall onee upon a time when I
was going home from school

cold, dammy lips spoke ot “that
light ahead.” In those calm eyes, '
that never knew what the tear of J
death was, £ould be seen the
fires'of hope and faith*. They I
looked far beyond the'dark river
and knew that the great Light
in whom she had put her trust
was ready and waiting to wel-
come her to that home where
eternal light and everlasting jovs j
awaited her. > ‘
1 So, in all the way through life
there is never a road so rough but ;
what it may be cheered with the
hope inspired by a faith in the I
Iprue Light and may be made ;
smooth by a trust in that great j
beacon light that points the way
to the place of eternal rest. |
Christ tells us that he is the
true light. Then let us walk in
that light, and though we may
have cur earthly sorrows, our
earthly trials and disappoint-
seemed with gov) “There is a

hospitable home of a gentlemai
whom I have not seen from that
time tb this, but who will never
be forgotten. His name was Nor-
man Kittrell, He had one of the
< kindest of women for a wife.
Her face was full of smiles and
zriunshine. They were all kind-
ness to me. They took me from
the horse, carried me into the
house, where Mrs. Kittrell soon
had me tucked away in otie ot the
neatest, softest beds upon which
lever rested.
You see that “light ahead”
meant and brought forth so much
to the weary traveler on that
dark and dreary winter night of
' yean ago. > How often, oh! how

Storm waves of gloom and de-

The nemfrnent of these com-
munities, they affirm, is against i
the enforcement of the State
laws, and surely the local senti-
ment of these two great cities is
mightier than the sentiment of
the “haw eaters” and “rubes” of
Texas who demand the enforce-
ment of the law.
A prominent citizen of San An-
tonio has"declared that if Gov-
ernor Camobell enforces the Jaws
against the saloonfeand gambling
houses in San Antonio he will
have to bring bis officers, judges,
and juries to secure conviction^
Great is San Antonio!
Great is Galveston! r
They are a law unto them-
selves.
Their police, their judges,
their juries recognize no law and
i regard no oath not prescribed by
themselves.
