The American government will

Turkey responsible.

The Lockhart Register refers

The mud-slinging now being

not to say disgraceful and
nauseating.

The Cleburne Review reluc-
tantly admits that the congres-
sional campaign in Johnson
county has degenerated into a
personal conflict, instead of be-
ing conducted upon the expound-
ing of the great political issues
of the day,
The recent capture of General
Lucban, on the Island of Samar,
is regarded at the War Depart-
ment as the most important since
the capture of Aguinaldo- Luc-
ban is a half-breed and i? re-
garded as one of the most ener-
getic and ferocious rebels on that
island.

The Young Men's Christian
association building that has just
burned in Geneva, N. Y., with a
loss of $63,000, was supposed by
the directors to be'fireproof,' with
slo* burning construction and
steel ceilings throughout. This
is another illustration of the fact
that the word "fireproof" is only
a relative term.
Lent may be appropriately ob-
served by others than those
whose religious faith calls for
such observance. It is a season
of self denial which may well in-
vite the attention of all. Arch-
bishop Corrigan mentions ab-
stinence from alcoholic stimu-
lants, tobacco and unnecessary
sweets as worthy of observance.
Overindulgence in these is by no
means confined to his dock, nor
is the suggestion exclusive in its
scope.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Discussing the subject of cam-
paign funds and the effurts of
corporation so-called Jemocrats
to secure control of the party
throughout the country. Bryan's
Commoner says:
"The republican party has no
policy that looks to the perma-
nent good of the people at large,
and therefore experience must
sooner or later lead to the over-
throw of that parly. But the j
democratic party cannottake ad- |
vantage of republican errors un- j
lees it shows a steadfast devotion j
to the interests of the people.
When it begins a flirtation with
corporate wealth it will lose its
hold upon the masses. Instead
of considering plans for securing
large contributions from those
who make a profit out of the fa-
voritism of government, it is bet-
ter that the democratic party
continue its advocacy of the doc-
trine of "equal rights of all and
special privileges to none," and
then labor for legislation which
will prevent the collection of large
campaign funds to be spent in
the corruption of voters. The
democratic party can better af-
ford to run its campaigns entirely
without money than only on con-
dition that their money shall be
returned with usurious interest
out of the pockets of the people."
It is undisputed that the
Daughters of the American
Revolution come of good old

It is said that practically no

The builders claim that they are
waiting for armor plate. If this
be true, it would seem to be a
pretty good argument in favor of
a government armor plate plant.
Dudley Wooten has suddenly
vacated his seat is congress and
rushed home at a break-neck
speed, where he will put in some
valuable time (paid for by the
people) in a feeble attempt to
spike the political utterances of
Col. Jack Bealle, his apponent,
who is making things "red-hot"
for Dud in the Dallas district.
The news comes from Phila-
delphia that the Presbyterian
committee on the Revision of the
Westminster Confession has de-
cided to issue a statement de-
claring (1) that the doctrine of
predestination is held in harmony
with God's love for all mankind
and that no man is condemned
except on the ground of his sin;
and (2) denying that the Pres-
byterian church teaches the
damnation of those dying in in-
fancy; on the other hand. It as-
serts that all dying in infancy
are included in the election of
grsce.

Ls«l Option la Mississippi.
Few as the saloons are in Missis-

state's total income from privilege tax-
es. Mississippi is regarded as one of
the most ultra of prohibition states,
made so by the anti-saloon sentiment
in a majority of the counties under
the local option system. Fourteen of
the counties pay the bulk of the $150,
000 received annually from this tax.

Is This True.
Every girl wants to marry.
She is thoroughly satisfied that
a man is necessary to the proper
development of a woman's life.
Her ideal usually is tall with
classical features, and the frame
of an Achilles. He must be
brave, yet gentle; a Chesterfield
in manners, a Dewey in penetra-
tion, a Winston Clmrchill in am-
bition. In thought and speech
he must be as unsullied as Schil-
ler or Goethe; with all he must
be strong and brave; a lion
among men; a knight among
ladies. But for fear she will die
an old maid, she will take most
any lath-framed youth with
mouse-colored hair and bat*
winged ears that comes along
smoking a coffin-nail cigarette
that smells worse than a burning
rubber boot, and thus waste her
precious life trying to love one
she never admired.—Exchange.
An epidemic of measles is pre-
vailing among the Yuma Indians

Senator Stewart, whose talk
used to be of silver and Nevada,

farm in tha Old Dominion state

There will never be fair and
honest elections in the state till
men become honest and above
theft, It is no more harmful to
steal a horse, than a vote dr an
office. We hold no man will do
to trust who will selt or buy a
vote. The greatest privilege a
person can have is to vote, and
the lowest depravity is reached
when he will sell or in any way
barter his vote.—Lock hart Reg- J

Just at this time South Texas ;
planters are very busy planting |
corn. The seed is a little expen-
sive this year, as corn is worth a
dollar a bushel, and the farmers i
are generally wishing they had
raised more corn last year. But
the lesson of diversified farming
is being learned and such ex-
perience as the Texas farmers
are now face to face with may
prove profitable in the future.—

A gentleman who has never
taken this paper since it was es-
tablished was telling one of its
regulars patrons the other day
how he would like to see a daily
paper in Greenville that was a
hummer. If this solicitious citi-
zen had contributed cents to this
enterprise where this paper has
helped to add dollars to the value
of his real estate, we could hum
a daily tune as vigorous as abuzz
saw plowing through knotty
timber.—Greenville Herald.

So it seems the Spanish-
American treaty grants to the
Spaniard the right to acquire
and possess land in any State or
Territory of the American Union
regardless of any State statute
prohibiting alien ownership of
lands within the State. And by
the same token it appears that if
the Texas alien land law conflicts
with any Federal enactment it is
superseded by the latter. In the
good old Democratic days
"State's rights" was not merely
an iridescent theory.—San An-
tonio Express.

The Star is told that great in-
terest is awakening at Victoria in
the rice question and notwith-
standing the impression current
that its stockmen and leading
bankers are opposed to the move-
ment, rice cannot be kept out
another year. It does seem
strange that local capitalists so
often persist in burying their
talents and hiding their lights
under a bushel, instead of getting
into the middle of the road and
leading the development of their
localities. It's a mighty sorry
calculation to run a longhorn
■tear on five to ten acres of land,
when it is just as good for $50 an
acre or more when planted in
rice.—Cuero Star.
