The foils wine item wbicb was
taken from the Rpyse Citv News
contains much truth : HWe were
conversing with a traveling sales-
man, representing a large imple-
ment and vehicle house, not long
since, who was commenting
about so many people leaving
their plows, buggies, wagons,
etc., out in all kinds of weather.
He said if people in this country
would build sheds to protect
their implements, etc., several
factories and wholesale houses
would have to go out of business
for lack of customers. We are
constrained to believe there is a
great deal of truth in what this
gentleman said, and we believe
that our people would b*e in
much better condition if they
would take care of their farm
tools and not leave them to the
, exposure of the sleet, rain apd
sunshine, but keep them under
shelter when not using them.”
Show us your mail order pur-
chase and your bill from the
house for it, your freight bill
and the hours you have worried
over getting it, and we will show
you a concern in Mansfield, no
matter what line, dry goods, gro-
ceries, drugs, hardware, jewelry,
lumber, furniture, printing, in
fact any line of goods that can be
bought in a town the size of
Mansfield, who will sell you the
same goods for the same amount
and' you will have, nothing to
worry over. No losJyfjJeep wor-
rying over whether,
goods will arrDe o
designated.—Mansfi
The same, can be sa
caster, and let those
guilty of patronizing mail order
houses take in consideration the
fact that when they want a favor
granted them, as buying on
fall time or exchanging goods,
they know it is useless to ask the
mail order bouse. Read and
take advantage of the advertise-
ments which appear in your home
paper week after week and pav
less attentipn to the mail order
circular and you will come out
ahea^ in the long run, besides
keeping home money where it
belongs.'

Before an audience tlfat taxed
to its fu lest capacity the TV. O.
W. halt, Hon. Cone Johnson,
candidate for Governor, delivered
!
an a<id i css here Wednesdav af-
ternoon. It had been planned to
have Uae speaking on the square
b.:t on account of the severe
weather, it was necessary to hold
indoors. The speaker was intro-
duced to the audience by Dr.
Willard Fjske.
Mr. Johnson confined bis
speech principally to the discus-
sion of three questions, viz:
’Needed penitentiary reforms,
simplification of the civil and
criminal court procedure and
p-ohibition.
“He said that the mis-manage-
rnent of the penitentiary system
grew largely out of the fact that
it had no responsible head; he
advo ated also a change in the
law so that the terms of convict^
would not be definitely fixed but
that the length of time,they
would have to serve would de
pend on their conduct and be-
havior. He said that the original
purpose of prison ^confinement
was to punish and reform ; that
we had to some extent lost sight
of the reformation part of it and
that the convicts shpuld be treat-
ed humanely and given a better
chance to reform and not have
them so they would regard them-
selves as an enerav of society be-
cause society was their enemy.
‘He said that persons accused
Of crime or litigants in civil cases
were entitled to justice regard-
less of the time or money neces-
sary but' that the laws should be
amended so as to simplify court
procedure ; tbat it could be done
so as to make justice as sure but
cheaper and quicker. He said
Texas was operating under prac-
tically the same system of juris-
prudence as when it was a re-
public and Dallas county about
the same as when it was a part
of Nacogdoches.
‘Regarding prohibition, be
said the quest
we going to do
what ought we to
to bring it nearer home, what
were we as individuals going to
do about it? His remarks in
favor of state-widq prohibition
was a clear-cut and strong argu-
The New District Court
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Judge J. C. Roberts, of the 68th Dis-
trict Court, Makes Good Showing
■ ■’*>
If there were any who doubted
the wisdom of necessity of the '
creation of an additional District
Court for Dallas county by the
31st Legislature, the develop-
ments of the past year should
certainly dispel such doubts.
Wh»n the Sixty-eighth District
Court began business one year
ago there were 1300 cases pend-
t # #
ing in the three Civil District
Courts, exclusive of the tax suits,
which cases were equally divided
among the three tribunals, 433
case^ to each CoiYrt. During the
past year 1600 new cases were
filed, distributed equally among
the three Courts.
The 68th Court, presided over
bv Judge J. C. Roberts, has made
an excellent record during the
first year of its existence. Six
hundred cases have been finally
disposed of and gotten off the
docket, exclusive of tax suits. In
spite of the large number of new
cases filed, there are about fifty
less cases on the docket than
when the Court began a year ago.
This record would have beeEf
better still but for the fact tbat
the act creating the new Court
failed to provide for juries dur-
ing the first term, and no jury
cases could be tried during Feb-
ruary, March and April, 1909.
Judge Roberts expects to cut the
number of pending cases in bis
Court down to 300 or less during
this year, unless an unusually
large number of new cases are
filed. ' »-
it may also be of interest to
? ;
our readers to know that out of
nine appealed cases so tar reach-
ed by the Appellate Court from
■9
Judge Roberts, eight haye been
affirmed and bne dismissed ; that
is, the parties abandoned the ap-
peal before the Court of Appeals
reached it. Not a single case
has been reversed. (Adv.)

ment in favor of same and he
handled the subject in a manner
that not only indicated ability to
express himself, bnt a; thorough
and/ comprehensive grasp qf the
subject in all its ramifications.
He said that he was accused ot
being a recent convert tp |tbe
cause of prohibition, and*tfoat
to some extent true; that he
had feet been a complete prohibi-
tionists for more than six or sev-
en years. He admitted that he
made anti speeches m 1887, but
said that when he came to think
about the fact tbit when he was
- «• * O'. - .* • / . ' - •. V ' ■
making those speeches twenty-
four years ago, there were chil-
dren vet unborn. Who had since
come into 'the world, grown to
manhood and learned to vote
right, it was no wonder that he,
who had so much the start of
them should have learned a little
sense.
‘'Several times during his ad-
dress Mr. Johnson said things
tbat brought out laughter, an(i at
other times it was hard to keep
back the tears*^ f \< • *
“In conclusion, ha tqld a story
about seeing the stourokvr of a
mother mocking bird ,o,v£r the
destruction of the home s^ejhad
built in the vines on bis bftcje at
Tyler and that the thought
struck him then, that if the de-
struction of tbat bird’-s nest and
the loss of her young on*u could
bring to the mother bird such
sorrow, what sorrow indeed the
destruction of a human home
must bring; that whether he be-
came governor or not, as long as
he was able to get to the polls he
would always cast his ballot
against the evil that had brought
sorrow to so many homes.”
Mr. Johnson’s speech was elo-
quent, forceful, logical yet free
from personalities, it was such
a speech that pleases all ahd of-

the many good qualities of his

and for about the last two years
be has been associated with Mr.

J. L. Goggans m the matter of

Question in Arithmetic
fends none—not even those who
do not agree with the views of
the speaker, and he was given
respectful and close attention
throughout and at the conclusion
of his address many crowded
about him to congratulate him
and to express their approval of
his’speech. *
Here’s one tor your boys :
If the painting costs two or
three times as much as the paint,
and one paint goes twice as far
as another, how much are those
two paints worth ?
If Devoe is worth.$1.50 or $1.75
a gallon, how much is the 'other
one worth ?
How much is a gallon of paint
worth anyhow ?
The answer is : Depends on
the paint.
The reason is: paint isn’t al-
ways paint.
There are true and false paint
and short-measure.
How much is a short-measure
gallon worth ? How much is
false paint worth ? How much
i is Devoe worth ?
There are millions a year in
the answer to this last one.
