Sometimes the clouds are heavy.
Sometimes the skies are blue,
Sometime* the flowera are wilting.
And other times the dew
Spi.rkles on leaf and petal
In tender morning light.
Making them fresh and pretty
And making the world more bright.
But whether the clouds are heavy
Or whether the skies are blue.
And whether the gardens are wilting
Or fresh with the morning dew,
I have always the sweetest flowers
Because that 1 have >ou.

LEST WE FORGET.
Now that the prohibition election
(or Bell couty has been ordered and
Mil sides have organized for the
tdnipaigu it must be realised by every
•tie that any further discussion of the
probable effects of the campaign
wwuld be futile. The effects of the
■vaults of the election Itself is an open
question and each side may natural-
ly be expected to contend for Its
ertews as to the same. No one can
■altoay them that right. But the
'campaign will be short and the fu-
tuiw long. The Telegram would ad-
monish all parties participating to nJt
Ion sight of the long future in the
short campaign which they are wag-
la#
The Telegram does not wish to ap-
pear pedantic, but there are some ob-
vious truths to which It would call
attention.
Whether prohibition or anti-prohl-
bltlon prevails the county and city
will continue to have the same prob-
lems of good roads, good schools,
street paving, factories, Improved
trade conditions, Improved agricul-
tural conditions, and the many other
things that ought to receive the atten-
tion of a good live citizenship.
Whether prohibition or antl-prohl-
bltton prevails these problems can
best be handled by a united citizen-
ship, all pulling to gether.
There Is no reason that men's dif-
fering on questions to,be settled at the
ballot box shoifld make enemies of
them. A strenuous or even a heated
campaign need not necessarily be a
bitter campaign. The political free-
dam of the nation rests on the peo-
ple's right In every Section of It to
express their wisleee at the ballot box
unfettered. They certainly ought to
be allowed ta express these views at
the polls, or before the public In ad-
dresses or In public print without in-
curring the personal enmity of any
one by so doing.
Let ail who take part In the cam-
paign remember that personal abuse
ar personalities can add nothing to
the successful settlement of any ques-
tlSti. Also let It be remembered that
IB honast criticism of one's views on
$ public question should not be con-
Itrued or characterised as personal
abuse.
Many close friends and neighbors
differ oa this question. It Is very
Slear that It will be best for them to
ao conduct themselves as to remain
close friends and neighbors when thp
campaign Is over.
Even during the course of the cam-
palgn don't lose sight of other im-
portant things. If you are in favor of
Ihore street paving, vote as you think
right on the prohibition question,
but continue to advocate more paving.
Just as you would If no campaign was
on. If the weeds in your yard need
cutting, vote as you think right, but
go right ahead and cut the weeds, just
as though there was no campaign on
hand. If you are in favor of ma-
cadamizing the Temple and Beiton
road, go to aa many prohibition or
anti-prohibition speakings as you
plSSas. and always remember to rote
as you think right, but go right ahead
urging on the commissioners to ma-
cadamise the road, without waiting to
see what the results of the election,
will be.
The advice might be continued In-
definitely. Let's so conduct ourselves
as to be able to settle public question*
In the proper way, and la the proper
spirit.
Mr Hilles. who Is at the head of
the republican campaign oomriilttee,
is a good one. He 1* enthusiastic him-
self. or else he placse a very poor es-
timate on the intelligence of the peo-
ple of the country'- When Mr. Hill?*,

Temple now has an ordinance reg-
ulating, theaters, auditoriums, picture
shows and the like. It provides for
construction on lines of safety and
of equipment and operation in fear
of the fire evil The specifications
are not thought to be burdensome on
the picture shows now operating
here, yet some changes will have *o
l>e made. The picture show mana-
gers may expect some very unwel-
come legislation, however, if they
persist in the annoying system of ad-
vertising their attractions. Cowbells
rung by boys in front of the doors of
business houses and up and dona the
business streets will call for an ordi-
nance shutting up entirely the noise
producing systems. Offensive adver-
tising never profits any business, and
the proprietors who persist In just
such methods ought to "catch on."
A recent comment In a Texas pa-
per concerned the course of a promi-
nent farmer who declared that he w.ib
going to quit onions and get back to
hogs. The cause for the change was
alleged to be the unsatisfactory results
obtained in marketing the onions, and
the unprofitable returns from that in-
dustry. So it Is with most any other
line of products which are marketed
during a brief season and without
scientific distribution of same, over
the country generally, and more nearly
with relationship to the consuming
public. We all hail with Joy the an-
nouncement of a big peach crop, for
Instance . Yet cheap peaches do not
get to many of us. w hile raisers of big
peach crops during big crop years do
not get enough for them to pay for
the gathering. In many Instances. The
truck and fruit business is a great
thing, within limitations, or where
marketing plans are perfected before-
hand. At at preesnt managed, give us
hogs or cotton.
Walter K. Collins, of Hlllsboro, '»
now the regularly constituted chair-
man of the democratic state executive
committee. Mr. Collins may be one of
those men "whom not to know argues
one's si If unknown" but be that as ,t
may, his name is strange In the ears of
some folks who think they know the
prominent democrats of the state. Be-
fore the convention, and when tenta-
tive slates were being formed, the
name of Claude Hudspeth was men-
tioned for the position. There were a
few then, mostly pros, who expressed
hope that any other man in Texas
might be given the position In prefer-
ence to the swashbuckler from out of
the west. Since the convention, and
since Mr. Hudspeth displayed his qual-
ities as a presiding oficer. there are
doubtless many antis to breathe prayer
of thankfulness In communion with
the pros, that the chairmanship, which
lasts two whole years, went to Mr.
Collins, whoever and whatever he may
be. Mr. Collins is evidently In good
standing with the dominant element In
the Colquitt ranks, and the others will
judge of his fitness for the place after
his administration brings out his
capabilities and methods.
• The revenue department of the
government publishes a statement .n
statistical showing of the amounts of
Intoxicating liquors, cigarettes and
other products bearing revenue 1-
cense during the last year. It sho ws
that there has been an enormous in-
crease in the manufacture of whisky
and cigarettes, with a decrease In the
output of the breweries. The officials
are astounded at trie showing made
by the cigarette manufacturers, the
year's output being over eleven billion
—which was two billion more than
the year previous. In hunting for a
cause for the great Increase they
seem to have overlooked the parallel
case of the introduction of the metal
cartridge, in correspondence with the
marketing of the ready-made ciga-
rette. In older days the fellow who
went shooting loaded his own gun.
per the muzzle route, and the cart-
ridge was a luxury for the rich only.
Gradually .the labor and loss of time
Involved In handling a muzzle loader
brought the breech-loader and the
cartridge Into general use, and the
boy or young man of today would not
know how to load an old-fashioned
gun. So with the cigarette. The con-
venience of the ready-made article
has about driven the old home-made
article from the field. It is not to be
believed that clgarete smoking is In-
creasing, but rather that the smokers
are seeking the easier way of obtain-
ing their smokes, and also conform-
ing to the "style." As to the Increase
in whisky manufacture and decrease
in beer, somebody will have to ex-
plain about that.
Much ado was made over the in-
dorsement of Bailey and Johnston at
the San Antonio convention, and the
introduction at the resolutions did
start a demonstration- which wis
most remarkable. Those Who might not
have danced and hugged on such an
occasion may yet chedtfttHy indorse
the resolutions thems^^ves, and -s
tadopted by the convention. The re»-
olutlons which the democrats of the
state send out aa the expression of
the party are no more than any good
citizen should Indorse. Senator Bailey,
however one may haye disagreed
with him in some matters, haa b. »jn
a great power In the national con-
gress and a representative who has
done much for his party and state.
He is recognised aa one of the most
brilliant men who haa ever graced
a seat in the senate, and on his retire-
ment after many years of puhile ser-
vice the state owes it' to him and >o
itself to recognize his services in the
positions he has occupied Likewise
with Colonel Johnston, the retiring
national committeeman. Colonel John-
ston has not been in harmony with
many Texas democrats, yet he Has
fought the democratic battles in state
and nation, and has given of his very
best abilities to the cause of his party.
He also was entitled to a vote of
thanks. The democratic party of
Texas Is going to reach a very deplo-
rable state should it ever come to the
point that a man's services should be
repuidated and disavowed for no
greater reason than that of a ternpo-
arry disagreement on some policy
that for the time ranges men In hos-
tile camps. Democracy, and citizen-
ship, want to be sueh that while w«
scrap today among ourselves, we may
come together tomorrow on some-
things else. It is to be approved that
Senator Bailey and Committeeman
Johnston both received formal
thanks for their services and expres-
sions of good will from friend and
disagreeing friend.
The Twenty-seventh senatorial dis-
trict, of which Bell county is a factor,

tive committee by Dr. R. Bailey, of

tances In this section speak of him In
highly complimentary terms.

FATAL SHOOTING
AT CHURCH SUPPER
Rebecca Slmms, Colored, Was Shot
Five 'limes. Dying Instantly.
Negro Man at Large.
At 10 o'clock last night a negro man
by the name of MoCowan shot and
killed Rebecca Simrns, wife of Sylves-
ter Slmms, at the residence of William
Jackson, near the electric light plant,
on Avenue C, where a church supper
for the benefit of the Eighth street
colored Baptist church was In pro-
gress All the partieB mentioned are
negroes.
Officers hurried to the scene, but
McCowan had made his escape. Search
was made at once but up to midnight
he had not been apprehended, though
diligent search was being made by
practically the entire police and con-
stable foroe.
The supper was being served In the
yard and fifty or more negroes were
at the tables. McCowan had gone to
a table of Which Rebecca Slmms was
acting as treasurer, and had bought a
bottle of soda water which he was
drinking. All of those present who
were asked about the affair said that
they heard no quarrel or threats, that
everything was progressing nicely and
good humoredty and that the shooting
began suddenly and without the least
warning. None of them knew of pre-
vious quarrel or difficulty that might
have been responsible for the shoot-
ing.
McCowan, It is said was seated at
the table when he began firing. The
woman fell at the first shot and
screamed for him not to shoot again,
but he got up, shot her four ttiheB as
she lay on the ground, stopping to re-
load hla pistol before firing the last
shot. She crawled partially under the
porch In an effort to escape the shots,
and died a few moments later.
A considerable oojnmotlon still ex-
isted when Hugh Smith, Justice of the
peace, arrived a few minutes after-
ward, but he succeeded in locating a
number of witnesses whom he sum-
moned to appear at his office this
morning at 9 o'clock.
McCowan apepars not to be very
well known among the negroes here.
Several of them professed not to know
him at all, and those who did claimed
that they had heard that his name
was McCowan, that he had been In
Temple for several months, and that
they know but little more about him.
Slmms is a well-to-do negro, own-
ing his home on South Fifteenth
street, and has been working at the
Santa Fe roundhouse for the last
twelve years. As he works at night,
he was not present at the supper last
night when the tragedy occurred.
When he arrived he said that he knew
nothing whatever that might have
causod the tragedy, and that he bare-
ly knew the negro who did the shoot-
ing.

(By Associated IJr-a»)
ST LOUIS, Aug. 15.—Sam Schepps,
being rushed half-way across the con-
tinent as a w I mess in the Rosenthal
murder case, will be In jail in New
York next week. 8chepps, in charge
of Assistant District Attorney Rubin
and Detectives Thomas and Stewart
passed through 8t. Louis tonight en
route from Hot Springs, where he was
arrested last Saturday.
The route of Rubin's party is kept
secret, nor will Rubin reveal tlrt ap-
proximate hour of arrival In New
York, tils only statement with refer-
ence to the party's arrival was that
Schepps would be in Jail soon.
When th<e starf was made from Hot
Springs, Schepps apepared much re-
lieved and until some time after
luncheon kept up a lively conversation
with Rubin, the detectives or news-
paper men on the train Conversation
lagged, after having ranged from
chicken raising to aviation and cards
were introduced. Schepps is a profi-
cient car<*player, knowing something
of the technique and somewhat more
of the psychology of a number of
game*.
The detectives declined to play.
Cchepps reiterates his assertion that
his first definite statement of what he
knows about the Rosenthal case will
be made In person to District Whit-
man alone. He haaft>*«p consistent In
this declaration for tllrAe days.
As to Bernard Sandler, the New
York attorney who telegraphed
Schepps at Hot Springs not to talk to
Rubin until Sandler's arrival and not
to leave there. 8chepps' attitude Is
somewhat of a puzzle. Today he de-
clined to say whether he had received
such message or kne*w Sandler. Today
hesuggested waiting at Hot Springs
until Sandler arrived. Rubin said
Schepps told him that a telegram
from Schepps' relatives repudiated
Sandler, that Schepps never saw Sand-
ler and that he wanted no attorney,
but expected to be In much more fa-
vorable standing with Whitman's of-
fice because of his position as volun-
tary witness. Nevertheless, Schepps.
at Benton, Ark., urged that a train
which arrived there at the some time
as that of the Rubin party, be search-
ed to find whether Sandler was a pas-
senger. Sandler waa not found.

Hot Springs. Ark., Aug. IS.—Ber-
liard 8andler, the New York attorney
whom Schepps denied knowing any-
thing about, arrived here this after-
noon at 4 o'clock. He had credentials
from Schepps' brother, showing he
had been retained to look after
Schepps' interest. When Sandler
found Schepps had been taken away,

Indictments Held Up.
(By Associated Preas)
New York, Aug. 16.—At the request
of Dlatrict Attorney Whitman the
grand jury today withheld the filing
of its pending Indleements against the
murderers of Herman Rosenthal so
as to hear the testimony of Sam
Selleppa, new on his way here from
Hot Springs, Ark., In custody. While
the county prosecutor believes the ev-
idence thus far submitted to the jury
Is sufficient for indleements he ad-
vised the Jury today It would be best
to hear the testimony of Schepps to
further strengthen the caae.
The district attorney expects
Schepps. who Is said to have been a
passenger In the assassination car.
will add interesting details to the
manner In which the murder was
planned, which will strengthen the
true bill* contemplated against "Gyp
the Blood," "Dage Frank" Circoflcl,
"Whitey" Lewis and "Leftle Louie,"
the alleged murder crew. Mr. Whit-
man believes Schepps trill be able to
throw light upon the manner in which
the alleged murderers were paid, thus
corrobratlng the teetUnony of "Jaok"
Rose and "BrldgW Webber (hat Lieu-
tenant Charles Bsoaker. charged with
Instigating the marder was responsi-
ble for payment.
Schepps Is expected here Saturday,
and will go before the grand Jury-
Tuesday as a material witness uleas
In the meantime he disappoint* the
expectations of the state by refusing
to tell his story, ta that event. It was
Intimated tonight by the dUgrlct at-
torney that Schepps would be indict-
ed on the charge of complicity la the
murder.
News that the grand Jury had failed
to hand down its expected indictment*
today gave rise to report* that mere
had been clashes among the jurors,
growing out of doubts expressed by
several that the stories told by Rose,
Webber and' VallOR were to be cred-
ited.
"Any tateemnt as to a clash in the
grand Jury room Is absolutely un-
founded." said Mr. Whitman tonight.
"The grand Jury and the district at-
torney are in entire accord and there
has been no suggestion of disagree-
ment of any kind."
Impatient over what he regards as
the "peculiarly unprecedented failure
of any city authority" to offer a re-
ward for the capture of "Gyp, the
Blood." and "Leflte Louie," who to-
morrow will have been at large one
month since Rosenthal was slain, Dis-
trict Attorney Whitman declared to-
night t h i t he would otter nnt week
a reward of >1,000 for the capture ot
the two men dead or alive. Mr. Whit-
man said he expected to obtain the
$5,000 from certain police subscrip-
tions.
W. J. Burns saw the district attor-
ney today, but thus far It was learned,
turned up no evidence of Importance.
He told the prosecutor, however, that
he was on a trail which he predicted
would lead to a high city official In
connection with police corruption. He
aiso said that he expected to "get"
three men known as The disorderly
house trtumverate," one a lawyer, one
a plolce Inspector, and the other a
hotel keeper. The detective also gave
assurances to the district attorney, It
was 'earned, that he would find "O/p,
the Blood "
