even the most unresponsive natures
will respond to the suggestion Implied,
and their beings will be Imbued with a
festal spirit which Is strongly asso-
ciated with some of their very best
Yuletide experiences. Therefore, deco-
rate your homo with cedar, mistletoe
and holly. The first two Items you
can secure yourself by n Jaunt to tin
woods, and that little trip will put
new blood In your veins, a spring in
your step nnd hope in your heart. You
might even get a Christmas tree, even
though you are a grown-up—it i« a
mistaken idea that they are only for
children; they lend auspiciousness to
the occasion of Christmas, and they
are beautiful and cost but little. It is
not necessary that adults put gifts
upon them, but rather make them a
feature of the interior decorative
scheme. Then, having arranged for
the proper adornment of the home,
devise some sort of a Christmas par.y
for the family. Think up some scheme
for Christmas Eve whereby you can
give a number of very small but use-
ful gifts to your loved ones, and make
the affair a gay reunion. You might
even get the Immediate relatives to
IKK)! their money and have a happy
Jollification with refreshments and
gifts. Thlg would be bearing the fi-
nancial burden evenly and would hurt
no one.
In short, celebrate any way your
ingenuity and resourcefulness sug-
gests, hut be sure you celebrate. Don't
let the ogre, hard times, frighten you
into forgetting the holiday of all holi-
days. Be buoyant an! let thru spirit
be contagious; if yon must observe
the day on a small scale, then do so.
and what the festivity lacks in money-
ed value, let it be made up in cheer-
fulness, enthusinsm and happiness.
Because we must all celebrate Christ-
mas; it comes but once a year. To
pass it by unhonored, in fact, practi-
cally unnoticed, is shirking one’s duty
to oneself, society and the God who
made the day possible.

is one thing the tinkers with our lib-
erties have never done, and that is to
revoke the privilege of running for of-
fice. In that respect, at least, it is a
free country, and every man can aspire
to official position if be feels so in-
clined."
In another paragraph in the same
Issue the Herald remarks:
"Lieutenant Governor Lynch David-
son says he is not ta the race for
governor now, but many things can
happen before the campaign closes.
And that is true. Many things can
happen, but the announced candidacy
of Mr. Davidson as against Mr. Neff
U not one of them. In 1M4 the lieuten-
ant governor will have another story
to relate. At- present he Is the out-
standing figure as the possible suc-
cessor of the present incumbent.”
In each of these paragraphs the
Herald states aa the Bun sees It, facts
very plainly. Every man has the right
to "run for office" (and the women,
too). If Mr. Middleton wants to b«
governor he has a right to give the
people an opportunity to bestow that
honor upon him.
As for Lieutenant Governor David-
son. we are free to say we know no
more elegant gentleman and we are
confident that he has the ability to
to make Texas a governor of which
the entire state would be proud. The
Herald Intimates very strongly that
in The Herald’s opinion the lieutenant
governor will not be a candidate
against Governor Neff. "At present,”
says The Herald, "he (Mr. Davidson)
is the outstanding figure aa the possi-
ble successor to the present incum-
bent." We agree with The Herald In
both its Inference and Its outspoken
opinion.—Corsicana Sun.
j with enthusiasm. But this year per-
sona can be heard on every hand
lamenting the fact that they will be
unable financially to bestow many
gifts this year, and they express the
fear that it will be a very unhappy
Christmas.
The Idea of such a thing! Christ-
mas shall not be allowed to go un-
celebrated as long as the hearts of hu-
man beings are attuned to the glorious
Yuletide music, and as long as the re-
sourcefulness of man can furnish a
suitable substitute for a plenteous bank
account. Even the very poor will not
be deprived of Christmas cheer this
season, because we have the various
organizations of our cities which are
providing for the empty stocking and
the bare pantry; now all our unfor-
tunate brothers have to is to furnish
the cheerfulness and the hope, and
they will have a merry Christmas.
For people of moderate and even
Jeseer means to say they will not ob
serve Christmas Is a manifestation of
their ingratitude to their
with m.
■'to obtain justice for the
veterans."
The public will respond freely to
this appeal, without doubt. As a stop-
gap, pending the reorganisation of fed-
eral relief, the money raised may be a
very helpful thing. Kindliness asido,
there should be no reason for raising

The relief of the disabled is not a1
matter for charity. It ,iA a public
duty. It ahould not be necessary,
either, for the disabled to raise funds
“to obtain Justice.” The money for
their relief has been voted by con-
gress, the people are paying It in

bungled that the association is im-

TWO OARING ESCAPES.
The escape* of the desperado. Tom
Slaughter, from the Arkansas peniten-
tiary last week and of Tommy O'Con-
nor, the notorious outlaw and man-
killer, from the Chicago Jail Sunday,
weaa similarly planned and effected.
Doth had guns.smuggled to them by
parties unknown, at least so far as
the public is informed^ which, together
with the aid of, fellow convicts, en-
abled them to overpower the guards
cud make getaways.
Slaughter’s freedom was short-
lived, he paying the penalty wltn hli
lile at the hands of one of his cum-
n des in the daring break for liberty.
OConnor is still at large or was when
t! la article was written, but his cap-
ture. dead or alive, will lie brought
about soon or late, unless he has had
the assistance or connivance of offi-
cers in making bis escape.
Both men were under sentence of
<L*ath. their execution* set for differ-
ent days this week. -It is somewhat
surprising^ the circum-
stances, that greater precautions to
Blake their retention certain and sure
were not taken. It"remains to be ex-
plained )u*mmy HiTtflT noted'bandits

Were so ncaj-JU. ..tuuul. were not con-
f.ned In death cells with a sufficient
number of guards around. And per-
haps that is the reason why Police
Chief Fitzmorrls of Chicago has or-
dered a sweeping investigation of the
O'Connor escape, at the same time
expressing the Jbat it was the
r«.iult of a conspiracy with those
into whose charge his safekeeping was
committed.
The assassination of Slaughter calls
to mind the taking off of Jesse James
by Bob Ford *orqc forty years
ago. It will be recalled that Ford
was a partner In Jesse James’ crimes
and his assassination was then de-
clared and so held now to have been
One of the most dastardly on record.

Is not necessary that they give ex-

they give any girts at all. If they find
they cannot afford to do so; but they

THROWING UP THE SPONGE
By THE WANDERER
Fifty years ago this September, a
young man hauled his last load of
hemlock bark to a small Pennsylvania
tannery, sold his team of oxen, drew
his money at the company’s office, and
started for law schooL
Some unexplainable spark of ambi-
tion that surpassed the understanding
of hki backwoods companions—of even
his own family—had dimly flashed a
vision of the opportunities that watted
for him In the world beyond the shad-
ows of the hemlock wood*.
He followed his vision. Twenty years
found him state manager of a great
Insurance company. At (he end of
two years more, he was to have one of
the vice - presidencies of the company.
Then the road led straight head to
the highest office at Milwaukee!
It was necessary, as is often the case,
for this man and his family to 'live
up to their Income-at least it seemed
that way at the time.
rondL took a short cut bank to where
he started. He lacked the colossal
nerve necessary to stick it out in the
face of such adversity as men were
forced to face at that time. The spark
went out—and the coming of the new
year with its revival of business found
him hopelessly settled in the mire, des-
tined to mediocrity and obljvion. To-
day he looks back and lives over again
the year of ISIS, soured and disappoint-
ed-thinking of what might have been.
You, who remember,’$3. can name a
score of men who went back home to
Dad—men who might have been!
To the younger generation, the panic
and industrial depression of ISM is
nothing more than one of many events
in Industrial history chronicled In a
brief paragraph of cold type, record-
ing money stringency, a hanking catas-
trophe. Idle factories, unemployment
and bread lines. To those who have
passed the half-century mark, 18M te
remembered as a mile-stone at the
crossroads of their lives.
During the seven egos of a nun’s
Ufa there Is usually some one year,
which age looks back upon as the
turning point; a year In which circum-
stances force a choice between a career
that leads to success, or to a mere Job
that provides a competency. When

any year that the passing generation

lem of existence—the question of food

Slaughter’s slayer says he killed be-
muse his life was threatened. It is
not unreasonable to so believe, for
b laughter would not have hesitated
to kill those associated with him In
the daring break if he thought they
were unfaithful. And then, again. How-
ard may have been actuated by the
same motives that prompted Ford to
kill James—secure his freedom from
