Austin, Tex., Oct. 8.— The an-
nouncement of Senator Bailey in
his speech at Houston that the
files of the attorney general’s
office would show that he had
tendered his services on behalf of
the state, brought many queries
to the office here and Office As-
sistant Hawkins has been busy
answering them. To newspaper
men this morning he announced
that he did not feel at liberty to
give out the correspondence in
the absence of Attorney General
Davidson, who is in Washington
city unless that official authoriz-
ed it. He admits that such a let-
ter was received and that Attor-
ney General Davidson had re-
plied to it, but he declined to
give these letters out for publi-
cation unless advised to do so by
the attorney general. Mr. Haw-
kins says he sees no reason why
the correspondence should not
be published.

Notwithstanding the predic-
tions of his enemies over the
state to the contrary, Joseph W.
Bailey met his challenge in
Houston last Saturday in the
personality of Hon. M. M Crane
and defended his position in such
a logical statesman like manner
that he has won many to his
favor who had been waiting to
hear further charges which it had
been whispered that Mr. Crane
had in store for him. As the
spokesman for the Senatorial
muckrakers advanced in his
speech without disclosing any
new charges against the Senator,
his supporters began to be disap-
pointed and as the speech closed
with nothing but the old straw
thrashed over again, Bailey’s
forces were augmented by volun-
teers from the enemy’s camp who
j expressed their position by loud
| cheers for the Senator. The
Harris County Good Government
Club had made the statement
that Mr. Bailey would refuse to
meet Mr. Crane or any other
representative of the people, as
he had no answer for the charges
that were laid up in store for him,
but Mr. Bailey in the knowledge
of his position, saw the bluff,
called their hand and showed to
his constituents over (he state
that while he was ignorant of
any of the new complaints that
might be brought against him,
he was willing to meet the enemy
on the stump and defend his
position aided only by his con-
sciousness of being right and his
unequaled ability of expressing
his feelings. To the followers of

Of Course My Land “Abstracts.
It is no reflection on man’s in-
telligence for him to think be-
cause his “land abstracts” the
title is all right.
The average man is not sup-
posed to know any more about
land titles than he does about
medicine. Do not forget that I
told you several months ago, an
Abstract of title only contains
what the records show. Hence
any land under the sun can be
abstracted.
What you want to know is—
does the abstract show every
deed, judgment, release, mort-
gage, etc. Right here is where a
responsible Abstract Company,
with an experienced Abstractor
counts.

“Yes” he replied, ‘‘lam going

after he entered the tavern, where
he had been in the habit of get-

A Most Worthy Article.
The farmer has seen many
changes in the manner of the
controlling and the conducting of
business in the past few years.
From the tiller of the soil being
able to control the markets of
grain, that power has slipped
from him until it is manipulated
by the grain operators of large
cities. He is uncertain as to
whether he will receive adequate
compensation for his efforts. The
latest effort in the concentration
of business in cities is to take
from the farmer and residents of
the smaller towns their opportu-
nity to buy their necessities at
home and require them to send
their money to cities. Perhaps
the strongest factor in Jthis des-
truction of home markets is the
concerns known as catalogue
houses. Their aim is to, if possi-
ble, drive the retail merchants
located in the towns of all states
out of business. The home mer-
chant has repeatedly complained
to his patrons and asked them
that instead of sending their
money abroad for what they need
to give him the opportunity of
filling their orders and has offered
to do so at prices as low or lower,
for the same quality of golds as
that offered by the catalogue
houses.
Our members of Congress have
been aware of such condition -
and every one of them are bitter-
ly opposed to any change in our
postal laws, which would give
the catalogue house a stronger
hold on the trade of the country.
These congressmen are not nar-
row minded men, but have been
drilled in the relentless mill of
years of experience. One of the
Iowa congressmen has made the
remark that he is opposed to the
encroachment of the catalogue
house on the home merchant for
the good reason that in the send-
ing of money to an unseen and
unknown merchant, gives that
merchant an opportunity to prac-
tice unscrupulous tactics upon
the unsuspecting customer.
As we have said in the begin-
ning of this article it is the object
of the promoters of the catalogue
house to drive the home mer-
chant out of business and if they
succeed in doing so, it means the
ruining of our beautiful and
home-like towns. When you have
depleated the home town you
have done much toward depreci-
ating the value of the farm lands.
So this is a question that not only
is of vital interest to the retail
merchant, but it is of just aa
much interest to the citizens of
our towns and to the farmers. It
would certainly be a deplorable
condition if we were obliged to
send away for the most of what
we need because our home mer-
chants have been driven out of
business by the catalogue houses.
Those concerns must pay for
their goods just the same as the
merchants at home, and someone
must pay the millions of dollars
they spend every year in adver-
tising their business. On top of
this expense is the thousands
upon thousands of dollars they
pay every month for rent of the
buildings they occupy, besides
the additional expense of an arn y
of clerks. The home merchant is
not called upon to meet any of
these expenses,
It seems the most of us should
have inbred pride enough to
prompt us to trade at home.
