Adios.
With this issue of the Star our
connection with it ceases.
We took editorial charge of
the Star last April, and have tried
to give the readers a newsy
paper. We have no apologies to
offer for anv efforts we have put
iorth. Our course has been ap-
plauded by some, criticised br-
others, which is but the ex-
^ perienoe of many. We cannot
please all people all the time,
and as the immortal "Bill" said:
"tó thine own self be true and it
must follow as the night the day,
thou canst not then be false to
any man."
To those who have opposed
our attitude on political and sec-
tarian matters, we have onty this
to say: You believe you are
right, we believe we are right,
we grant you the privilege of
standing by your convictions,
reserve the same right for our-
selves. We admire those who
came out in the open and fought
us face to face, and we pass un-
noticed those who snarled and
snapped at us behind our back.
We wish to say that have never
been connected with a cleaner or
squarer man than the senior
editor. There will always be a
warm spot in our heart for
him.
Mr. J. W. Thompson who as-
sumes control of the Star with
the next issue, having leased
the same, is no stranger to the
readers. He has been associated
with the Star force before, and
is known all over this count}'.
He needs no introduction at our
hands, and we can only wish him
all the success he anticipates
knowing that be is worthy and
deserving.
Thanking all for the many
courtesies shown us during our
emcumbency, we now doff our
editorial bonnet, and to the
readers of the Star, say, Adios.
Very respectfully,
W. T. Mullin.
Roosevelt, it is said, is study-
ing the political situation. Many
events happened while he was
chasing coons in Africa, and
hobnobbing with the crown
heads of Europe that he don't
understand all he knows about
them. He don't want to run
with the hares and the hounds,
but he wants to know which
from the other before he jumps
in and srets his feet wet.
Encouraging reports come
from all sections of the county
regarding the crop prospects.
Parties who have visited other
sections declare that Stonewall
county is in better shape than
many other sections. We have
had good rains, and our farmers
know their business and are pre-
paring to make a showing for
Stonewall county this fall that
will cause some rival sections to
sit up and take notice.
The legislature will spend
$10,000 and the trimmings of the
tax payers' money to investigate
itself. This at the eleventh hour,
and in special session. It may
be all right to investigate the
legislature but we suggest that
it be done before they are sworn
in ancl not after they have served
their term and saddled on the
people of Texas* the biggest
mess of useless laws ever con-
cocted by the brain of Jim Crow
lawyers.
OXOIOXOIOIOIOIO
It has been decreed by the
powers that be, in Washington,
that the statute of Robert E.
Lee is an immovable fixture in
the Statuary Hall of the National
Capitol. Old Mother Virginia
laid the law down to them and
they came to their senses, when
she told them if Lee's statute
was removed, Washinton's must
come with it. The agitators for
the ousting of the Lee statute
claimed he was a rebel. Oh my
God what an awful charge! Why
condemn Lee for following in
the footsteps of he who was "firNst
in war, first in peace and first in
the hearts of his countrymen."
Who led the rebellion in 1776?
Geo. Washington. He was the
first rebel, and we made him the
first president for it. Lee was
! another rebel, and the solid
south would have made him
president if they could have com-
manded the numeral strength at
the ballot box.
It seems that Spain is going to
take "back water" in the recent
breach between tHat country
and the"Vitican. King Alphonso
should take a lesson from Por-
firio Diaz. The Pope and his
"power" don't bluff Diaz into
anything.
News reaches us that Abilene
is drying up and Stamford al-
ready dried up. These reports
may be exagerated to some ex-
tent, but we do know that rain is
badly need in those sections. We
need rain ia this section also, but
without another drop, we wil
have big crops, and a rain at this
time would only serve to make
them larger.
The Ohio republican conven-
tion after floundering around for
a few days looking for a lamb to
lead to the slaughter, found one
at last in the person of a
journalist. Now the only ques-
tion that confronts the Ohio re-
publicans is how bad he is going
to be beaten. Harmon, the dem-
ocratic incumbent, it is predicted
will win by at least 75,000. Well,
that ought to make Bill Taft sit
up and take notice.
The peculiarity of the election
result is shown in the fact that
in many counties giving Colquitt
majorities over his opponents,
submission carried safely. This
is accounted for by the fact that
in nearly every one of such
instances, the prohibition vote
was most equally divided be-
tween Johnson nnd Poindextor.
The result brings about a pe-
culiar anomally of electing an
anti-prohibition governor on a
prohibition ticket, the voters de-
claring in favor of submission,
but nominating a man opposed
to their views—Colorado Record.
Don't let that worry you, Col-
quitt advocated political peace
and legislative rest. Those who
nominated him realize that this
peace can only oome when this
prohibition agitation is quelled.
The only way to quell it is to
bring it to a vote of the entire
people. Do not think for one
moment that all the votes for
submission were votes for pro-
hibition. Not by several thous-
and. When the supreme test
comes, and it will come, pro-
hibition will be buried as deep
as it was in 1887.
