Prohibition is DuIIm County re-
ceived a black eye which will prob-
ably put a atop to the agitation in
that county for many year* to coma.
In the city tha vote atood about
eleven to one againat prohibition.
The total vote of the county waa
about 7,500, of which tha antis caat
in tha neighborhood ot 5,000 votes.
This ia a forerunner of what may be
looked for in old Grayaon. Prohi-
bition is ruii oueln large cities, with
out securing tha reform* sought for.
The reading and dunking public
know this to be the case, and are
beginning to realise that local op-
tion it the true solution to the ques-
tion, leaving it tor each community
to decide it for themselves. This it

Wa hear a great deal about pav-
ing Main street It takes money to
do paving end so long as the school
board demands the lion's share of
the tax receipts, regardless of the
needs of other departments, the pros-
pect for the realisation of the demand
i« likely to remain unfulfilled. Tha
school board and the city council
should meet togethet end discuss
the financial situation in a friendly
way. Let there be a little economy
inaugurated all round. No one
should hog all in sight because ha
chance, to have the power.
The Denison prohibition leaders
appear to be a little short of fends.
One day this week they imported a
negro exhorter from Sherman with
the promise if be would deliver a
series of red hot lectures on prohibi-
tion they would pay him $40, and
that he would be advanced $10 an
his arrival. He arove, bat couldn’t
get trace of the $10. All the satis-
faction he received was a promise
of the money Saturday. This not
suiting the orator, he threw up the
job ia disgust, and as he had no
money one of the brethren advanced
him two bits to get back to Sher-
man. He took the next interurban
car, a wiser if not a happier tugger.

ing a Compentent,

L. B. Moore
The Denison Dispatch and Ga-
zetteer are both hot anti-prohibi-
tion papers. They claim that
should prohibition carry in Grayson
county it would iniure business ip
that burg. Without doubt Denison
would have a number of vacant
bouses, and the thieves and thugs
would have no place to bold out in.
In fact a good portion of Denison’s
business consists in selling cut-rate
tickets to hell.—Collinsville Times.
The Times editor ought to be
ashamed of himself tor penning that
last sentence. It is unjustified, un-
true and uncalled for.—Denison
Herald.
Yes, end he ought to be ashamed
of the whole screed. Prohibition-
Tats call such stuff argument, proba-
bly because they have no better. If
prohibition prohibited the intemper
ate use ot intoxicants in cities the
Gazetteer would not say one
word against the law, but it does
not. We challenge the Times to
mention a town the size of Denison
subject to prohibition laws where
spirituous liquors are not sold in
violation of the law. Drinking is a
vice, it may be, but like other vices
that ’ might be named, cannot be
suppressed, but may be regulated.
Prohibiting laws simply deprive
cities, county and state of large
revenus, thus increasing taxation
without accomplishing the object
sought. We refer, of course, to the
larger towns. In villages of a tew
hundred no doubt such laws work
very well, and we do not blame
people so situated to vote for a law
which will keep out the saloon,
which in small communities is of a
disreputable character, while there
is no police forces to afford the pub-
lic protection, bat lnjbe large cities
it is difftrent. Hare is a mixed
population made -up of the lawless
and reckless, as wall as the refined
and ltw-abidiog, and experience has
proven conclusively that intoxicants
will be sold any way, but owing to
the risk, and the class of men who
will engage in the illicit 'business,
the vilest compounds are dispensed.
We believe the only sensible and
practicable solution ot the liquor
question ia local option. Leave it
to each community to decide the
matter for itaelf. If country pre-
cincts want prohibition let them
have it It a municipality don’t
want it let it remain wet. Such
a law, with a high license, would in
our opinion, prove in the iong run
the most practical solution of the
question which has agitated the
country for over half a century.
This is the decision in Vermont
where state prohibition has been
tested for fifty years, and the people
ot Kansas are clamoring for a like
change. ___________
C. C. McCarthy for bargains
the lady
the past week.
From all that we can
operators have justice on their
and ere booe that they will not
cade from the position they have
taken. It is a great pity that tha
Southwestern Telephone Co. havf
not been an ambitious in the past M
at the present to give efficient ser-
vice. In the past anything has beak
good enough tor Denisoa, ead
imposition would have
been kept up if the new lei
company bad not come in. Old
switchboards from other towns that
were considered not op to data,
were sent to Denison. The seevlef
was so unsatisfactory that the new
phone has displaced hundreds of the
old.
Mr. MiHmrn, the superintendent,
in a statement, says: “We selected
one of the young ladies from the
force to act as monitor.” The young
gitl selected has been with tip com-
pany about a year. There ere
operators who have been with the
company several years and in tha
line nf promotion. Their claims
as a matter of justice should have
first been considered, at no one
has questioned their competency.
For the hours that girls work
they are poorly paid. The day
force work nine and a half hours,
the night tore* twelve hours. The
general run of wages is trom $15 to
$30 per month. A young lady
who has seen several year’s service
only receives $27 per month. The
hours are too ling for the com-
pensation, and here is a matter for
American Federation of Labor to
step in and insist on a better scale
of wages and more reasonable
boors. .....
The entire public should stand
pat with the striking operators.
They are right and should be sus-
tained. The patrons of the phones
have the entire situation in their
bands and can enforce what is right
it they will.
Since the above was written
are have learned additional
facts which precipitated the
strike. It was insisted that Miss
Leach, who went on at 9 o’clock p.
m., should be on duty until 9 o’clock
a. m., twelve hours of sleepless
work et $30 per month. Miss Leech
resisted the imposition and resigned,
and the other operators nobly stood
by her.
We have heard that'trusts and
monopolies are cruel and have no
soul. This illustration confirms
our suspicion. No young woman
could keep those hours without sac-
rificing her heal’h, indeed it is no
better than white bondage.
For more than twenty years has
fire in-
enter-
rises in Denison, and during this
time he has seen more than twenty
man engaged tn the same or simi-
lar business fail, and ail are now
scattered to the four winds. J. E.
Howard, however, has gone right
along doing business in that straight-
forward, opright manner which has
given to the whole community con-
fidence in bis integrity and business
ability, and he has succeeded tn
every enterprise in which ha baa en-
gaged. His word and obligation ia
aa good as his bond, and ia now and
always baa been, worth 100 cents on
the dollar.
Mr. Howard baa long reatiaed
that fire insurance and rasl estate
cannot be successfully combined—
one or the other is bound to be ne-
glected. Besides, it has b#en dem-
onstrated that a fire insurance man
caaodt bo S successful real estate
man, nor can a real estate man make
a good fire insurance man. There-
fore Mr, Howard disposed of hit in-
terest in firs insurance to bis former
partner, T. E. Reardon, and has
fitted np one of the most convenient
reel estate offices, the best and most
centrally located in the city, at No.
338 West Main street, opposite the
National Bank of Denison, where he
will be pleased to meet all his old
triendl and patrons.
In the future Mr. Hosvard will
devote bis entire time and attention
to real estate, including collect
ing rents, paving taxes, etc.
Mr. Howard is better prepared tor
handling real estate than any man m
the city. He has a fine doubl * team
with carriage, and an elegant phae-
ton for his customers, can take a
whole family or a single person, a«
the occasion requires; gentlest horse
in the city for timid ladies. To go
out with him is a trip more like
pleasure than for bu-inesa, tn fact,
it ia hit motto to make business a
pleasure ratoer than a hardship.
Mr. Hoarard represents the larg-
est non-resident real r state owners
in North Texas; he also represents
leople living in every stats in the
Jnion, Indian Territory and Mex-
ico. In fact, be has the largest list
of the best property at the lowest
prices of any real estate man in
North Texas. He also has the l>ng-
gest list of rental property of any
man in the dty.
Anyone wishing to lease, sell ex-
change or trade real estate see him
before closing any deal.

The St. Louis Chronicle of e re-
cent date contains tha fol'owing,
which we indorse from experience:
Go and ssk the doctor what ha
thinks about walking, and see if ha
doesn’t toll yon it is better medicine
than a bat re! of dope.
Hundreds of persons who do not
Jeep or eat well, and who are
cooped op all day ia stuffy offices,
are learning that by the simple ex-
pedient of walking to and from
work they can secure health.
Yas, it’s true that you live two or
three miles from your work I That
is a fine walk. It means jumping
out of bed a little earlier. Some
discomfort at first and some resolu-
tion. But it pays.
You’ll get dividends out of the
walk all day. Yon’ll learn to throw
your shoulders back and fill yonr
lungs with God's sweet air. There
will be color in yonr tace and ears,
and you’ll feel Ufa in yonr veins.
Will it help you to sleep ?
Surely. It is the best narcotic
known. Your head will scarcely
touch the pillow when business wor-
ries will fade away, and you’ll for-
get about work till the time comes
tor the next tramp.
Try it.
In a month you will wonder why
you ever fought for a place on the
back platform of a crowded car,
when you possessed the means of
locomotion.
Yes, try it for insomnia and indi-
gestion, headaches and the blues.
Try it today.

Saaweed Pavsmsnt
Seaweed or seagraas paving blocks,
newly Invented, are being tried In Bal-
timore. They are made by compress-
ing ths seaweed until It becomes hard
and solid, when It is bound tightly
with wire. The loose ends of the
grass are cut off, and the Mock Is fin-
ished by being immersed in boiling
pitch or tar.
Brilliancy Versus Plodding.
"Some men," said the original phil-
osopher. “see more than others see
at first sight and then devote so mnch
time and energy to the task of being
pleased with their own brilliancy that
they miss all ths benefit ot the sober
and maturer second thought that
comes to those leu gifted.”

Bishop Potter was waiting tor a
train in Minnesota on one occasion
when he noticed a stranger eyeing
him with great cariosity. “Excuse
me, mister,” he waa [eventually
asked, “but I think I’ve seen your
picture in the papers.” “Probably,”
admitted tbe bishop. “Kin I ask,”
continued the fellow traveler, edg-
ing nearer, “wbat yon was cured
of?” Henry Irving had a similar
experience in England. A little girl

NATURAL.
I cannot uy enough against
the practice of wearing “Mag-
nifying” glasses. Any lens
that magnifies print to an un-
natural size is too strong. It
will do more harm than good.
The object of glasses is to
make your vision perfectly
natural to enable you to read
clearly and distinctly, but with-
out strain.
In fitting glasses, I mm par-
ticular about this point. I
place the eye in normal con-
dition. If they are out ot fo-
cus I select lenses that will put
them in focus. If there are
weak nerves and muscles, I see
that the glasses strengthen
them. v
If there are defects or irreg-
ularities, I have the glasses
ground to neutralize them.
