My wife, Karrenhonner, was all t open, for it is common talk down
swelled up over what 1 had to say ; there, and in remonstrating he did it
in the last Co-Operator about the doc- | in a manly way, right out in the sen-s
tors, although what I did say was but | ate chamber where all his fellow mem-
a small part of what 1 thought about | bers and the world, through the news-
them, so I concluded to let them wait : papers, could hear it. He said that
awhile and touch up our legislators it had come to him that the lobby was
influencing some of the members, or
trying to, and that it was a fact that
members of the legislature had been
caught playing poker and arrested and
fined before a judge, giving assumed
names. Well, there is nothing new
about that? Everybody knows that it
is a big fool of a political lawyer who
can’t play poker, and no one believes
that there is one of them that doesn't
kindly, but firmly: kindly because if
I went at them red-hot, as I want to,
they might try and find out what
amount of contempt I had for them;
that is the most of them, especially
the scribes in that body, and if they
did there would be no whitewash for
me, but a cell in a jail, for the kind
of contempt that I have mixed up in
my old carcass is fierce.
Now what our legislature has not
done and w hat it has done would star-
tle the public if it were all published,
but the libel law is a structure that
stands in the way of the common peo-
ple learning the truth, and consequent-
ly, when added to the honorable gen-
tlemen in the legislature “honor,"
which has to be protected, we find out
but little.
I don’t mean altogether what they
have or have not done in the way of
public business so much as what they
have done in and around Austin out-
side of the big building wherein they
hold their publie seances. I used to
hang around Austin ’way back yonder
when Charlie Culberson was governor,
and especially when he, as the young
Christian governor of Texas, was hav-
ing his round with the pugilistic ele-
ment, and I know something of how
the members of the legislature who
have their "honor" to protect protect it
themselves at night, and I don’t be-
lieve that those that are down there
now are any improvement over the
other set, not a bit, for those in the
old times were lawvers, and the big-
gest part of the present crowd are
of the same persuasion and probably
follow the “decisions” as set forth by
their predecessors, decisions being the
life blood of the lawyer of the present
day. I could go on about the lawyer
from the times of our Savior, and tell
• lot not much to the credit of the pro-
fession (they were called Scribes in
those old days), but it can be divided
into “lessons” as the preachers do their
sermons, and given in broken doses,
which would be best, for we all know
that broken doses of medicine have a
more lasting and intelligent effect on
the liver than the whole dose at once. -
A few days back, as time flies, one
of the senators in our legislature, not a
lawyer, by the way, send down by a
credulous people to look out for their
interests, was horrified at certain
things he saw and heard and maybe
mingled with I don’t know about that
- so, feeling that his and his people’s
"honor” had been besmirched he pro
ceeded to relate for the benefit of his
fellow senators what he thought, as
a plain citizen, he knew, and also
thought would cause a reform in the
methods of legislation. Hr did not
know that what the people, and he
among them, thought was "honor" was
not exactly the same brand that the
lawyers in the senate stood up for. He
wanted the people to know what was
going on in high places, and have mat
ters improved and the morals of old
Austin purified, but he run up against
a snag right there, and now he is
going home to tell his people all that
he knew and thought was going on,
but which the other senators, or rather
most of them, called besmirching their
"honor." They fired him bowdatiously
for daring to intimate that a senator
of Texas would play poker. The vote
was 21 to 8, one senator being ab-
sent and one present but not voting.
llere is the list of those who voted
for and against the expulsion of this
representative of the common people
who elected him to look out for their
interests:
Aves -Adams, Alexander, Brach
field, Harper, Hayter, Hudspeth,
Hume, Kellie, Masterson, Mayfield,
Murray, Paulus, Peeler, Perkins, Real.
Senter, Terrell of Bowie, Terrell of
McLennan, Watson, Weinert, Willacy
—21.
Noes Bryan, Cober, Greer, Holsey,
Stokes, Sturgeon, Thomas, Ward—8.
Present and not voting -Meachum.
Absent—Veale,
Now this senator had only openly
remonstrated upon what he learned
and which any one else can learn if
he will go to Austin and keep his eyes

know the difference between a pair
and a royal flush. Don’t we all know
that the lobby has been influencing
our legislators in the past? Don’t we
all know that the most prominent lob-
byists, even if they do not show up, are
corporation lawyers? Don’t we know
that one lawyer isn't going to inter-
fere with anothe’s business unless he
is paid to do so by some credulous
or some scheming client? The senator
who was not a lawyer did not under-
stand this combination of circum-
stances, so he butted in and hit his
fellow senators in the solar plexus,
and when they recovered their breath
they returned the blow by firing their
brother who had had the audacity to
interfere with their business.
Now, this firing occurred on Satur-
day, the 13th of this month, and it
was pitiful to see a representative of
the people sent there to look out for
their interests and honor bullyragged
by lawyers, they using all kinds of
technicalities common to the practice
of the courts to puzzle him and keep
him from proving his case. They fired
him all right, but when he was leaving,
accompanied by some of the manly
senators, when he reached the door,
he turned and said: “Now, they can
not put a lock on my lips."
The senatorial district from which
the lion. Mr. Thomas was sent to
the legislature is composed of the fol-
lowing counties: Red River, Titus,
Hopkins, Franklin and Delta. He has
expressed a determination to run again
in the special election called immedi-
ately by Governor Campbell, and if
the people of that district know what
is good for them, in my humble opin
ion, they will send him down to Austin
again to stand up before that honor
able (?) body called the seriate of
Texas, repeat what he has already said
and demand that the whitewash be left
out and the facts alone, without tech-
nical objections, be given to the peo-
ple. .
Just try it once, good people. Try
the influence of letters and petitions
once in a while. It is said that those
kind of things have a great effect on
senators, and that very recently they
have felt the pressure. Clean up your
dirty back yards, people, and to do so
send more common people and less
lawyers and you will feel that your
government is at least clean, it not so
brilliant as at present.

1 read all the chicken items in all our
papers, and especially The Co Oper-
ator, and find them to be profitable. I
am raising Silver Laced Wyandottes
and find them to be very satisfactory;
besides, there is no prettier bird where
they are bred with care as to plumage;
they are certainly good layers. 1 have
a nice lot and have gathered lots of
eggs all winter. My spring and fall
pullets have certainly been profitalibe
and my old hens have layed well 1
give my chicks a good deal of alien
tion. I feed my hens whole corn at
night all during the winter and spring;
they also get lots of oats to eat and
I give them warm mash at morning
and milk occasionally. My hens cer-
tainly pay me in return for my work
in taking care of them 1 never feed
my little chicks for forty eight hours
after they hatch, and I usually have
good success with my biddies. L. H.

COIIOII SEED MEAL AND HULLS FOR HORSES AND MULES
Cotton seed meal as food for all kinds of Cattle, Hogs, Sheep, Goats and Poultry is already
well established as to need no comment. But it is not so well known that COTTON SEED
MEAL is equally valuable as a FEED FOR HORSES A ND MULES. The eminent Dr. Tait Butler
of the South Carolina Experiment Station, a recognized authority on animal feeding, ij
speaking of a proper ration for work horses and mules says: I would rather have two pounds
of Cotton Seed Meal than four pounds of corn. I would rather have two pounds of Cotton
Seed Meal than four pounds of oats Corn it a good horse feed, but we are wasting two million
dollars per year in r * Carolina in feeding all corn ration. Hon. H.U. Hammond of Augusta
Ga a distinguished u. er of fine horses, Bays: "Cotton Seed Meal makes the ary ration of
the horse go down, and, what is more important, go through, so 1 havefcome to believe that
aside from its wonderful nutritive valne. Cotton Seed Meal, in the aid it gives to the peristaltic
movement in the horse, is worth its cost many times ever.” Let us send you free booklet full of
valuable information to every Feeder of Farm Stock. Address *
