It Im a well established fact, that
the system of every one needs invig-
orating every year. The doctors rec-
ommend to their patients to take some
kind of liver, or some other kind of
medicine, and the doctors of Texas al-
most to a man, are now advising their
patrons to go to some health resort and
“drink their fill'' of the water that is
to be found there. I will go furthe r
and say, that a large per cent of the
doctors of Texas, are advising their
patrons to go to Mineral Wells, and the
doctor that does not do it, is considered
“out of fashion.'' They tall their pa-
trons that even a few days stay
there, will be very beneficial to them
—to go there and drink all the water
they can stand up under, and that tiey
will feel much better, even if they can
only get away for a few days from
thelr business, etc. Now, applying this,
would not the delegates to the state
Democratic convention be able to kill
more than one bird with the same
stone, if they were called together at

find in the old world—a water that

ask, why should not the members nt

Fort Worth, April It.—Some weeks
ago I was served by our city tax col-
lector with a bill for past taxes that
absolutely appalled me, in that it was
for persnal taxes of 1898 and 1802.
that were overlooked for these years.
The “pinching" point was that the pen-
alties amounted to within a few dollar*
of the original amount of taxes. I
paid these taxes, but did so under pro-
test—protest at the penalties imposed.
I presume this is all right in a way,
but what I complain of is of the care-
lessnese of the officials who are re-
sponafble for allowing a tax-payer to
go along from year to year without
advising him that he is delinquent.
It seems to me that the tax assessor
should do business in a business way
and notify delinquents by dropping
them a postal card calling attention
to the fact. TAK-PAYER.

erwise it becomes class legislation,
which to conceded by all writers on
political economy to be subversive of
the best interests of the people.
The state of Texas by her medical
act has erected a Chinese wall about
her border so that no medical man
dares enter her territory calling him-
self a physician or surgeon, unless
forsooth, he happens to come from a
‘reciprocating state." It makes no dif-
ference whether be possesses half a
dozen diplomas from as many differ-
ent medical colleges, which may be
admitted by all to be second to none
in existence, unless he can show a
diploma from a reciprocating state his
application is not considered at all.
and his credentials are rarely exam-
ined. These are facta easy of proof.
In some cases the president at the
medical beard may examine the reden-
tials, and while manly enough to state
tbat they are exceptionally good, and
that he individually and every mem-
ber of the board would willingly grant
the license on the showing made. That
iL sit the board, individually, are will-
ing to grant the license, yet collective-
ly they can not do it.
Is there not something radically
wrong with the medical law Or in the
interpretation thereof?
Why this state reciprocates with New
Jersey and West Virginia, but with no
other atate or territory in the union
to dot very clear to the ordinary citi-
son. Yet the medical act of Texas
makes no mention of New Jersey or
West Virginia. The medical board,
however, made such a ruling.
To ask a medical man who can show
the best of credentials, whose qualifica
lions oan not be questioned, a man
who has been practicing his profession
for thirty years, and who can ahow
an honorable record during that time—
to ask such a man to submit to an
examination before one who might
context throughout all this portion at
the state, and it to qut » evident that
his support comes from all classes.

presentation of sound policies. There

We believe, however, that Colonel

It is fair to say that such elements
would not expect any comfort from

ernor. The people generally have
confidence in the integrity and re-
spect for the ability of all the candi-
dates. and can find no vital differ-
ences of policy among them. So far
as we know they all declare that pro-
hibition is not an issue, that the tax-
ing system should be reformed and
that the corporations should be ruled
with a firm hand, which are the main
planks of Colonel Campbell's plat-
form.
We are quite oure the corporations
will not prefer Mr. Moore or Mr. Col-

more radical than Colonel Campbell's,

Bell or Judge Brooks.

The Farmer Can Always Fled a Way to
Hoe Hle Row.
To the Editor of The Record.
MeKinney, Texes , April 2®.—The
North Texas farmer has bright pros-
pects for a crop of wheat, oata, corn,
cotton and such valuable by-producte
aa onions, alfalfa, garden truck and
fruit. It is true that the present raine,
last night and today, are hindering
farming operations greatly. Much cot-
ton is yet to plant, and young corn
that to up needs cultivation badly,
causing noxious woods to grow rapidly.
Ten days of warm, dry weather at this
critical period of cropping time would
be of incaiculnblo benefit.
But we must be patient and hope-
ful under existing circumstances, and
keep our plows and tools sharp to kill
the weeds when the Helds get dry
enough to work. Where there to •
will there to a way to hoe our row in
the world.
Last season was the most unpropl-
tious j-sar in one-fourth of a century
in this section; it literally rained us
out. So far we are keeping our heads
above the weeds and grass, and have
a chance to come out conquerors a*
harvest time. If the elements permit
Man proposes, but God disposes.
It staggers the mind to contemplate
how impotent man to, when such earth-
quakes as have appeared to destroy
San Francisco, the beautiful gate city
to the East. Napoleon once said to
Marshal Lamentino: "I could have de-
stroyed the army of Wellington at
Waterloo had it not been for the ele-
ments." The farmer can toll and dig
and work and make the rich, fertile
black Landa bring forth an abundant
harvest, if the elements do not inter-
fere.

escape from the biting effects of the
freeze. A cold norther may atop the
