civilized world has watched the prog- j
refs of thts great fleet of. warship#
and the fact that the trip was made,
without Incident, In four dayg less
than schedule time and that at the
completion of the voyage the fleet j
is ready for instant action, is slgnlfi-1
can' in the extreme. It demonstrates
the efficiency of onr navy.
The announcement is made that
| Anna Gould is coming home. How
much better off she would have been
bad she stayed at homa. and this is
likewise true of many other Ameri-
can girls who allowed a title to dazzle
them into a marriage that could have
none but an unhappy outcome and a
look behind the scenes would have
told this.

SAfURDAY, MARCH 14, 19»8.
Ton may have noticed that as
rule hot air does not get results.
The split-log drags the thing, but
the rub is to get the people of the
state to use it
One of the best things the Herald
has read for some time is a statement
that a farmer working in his field
refused to stop to listen to the argu-
ment of a candidate and made the can-
didate take a hoe and work beside him
while he talked. If there were more
farmers like this In the State there
would be fewer candidates or a great
deal more work done In the fields.
There are several Presidential
(looms that seem to have fallen by
the wayside to rise no more.
What Is there to get excited about
in the proposition of whether Abra-
ham Lincoln was or was not a prohi-
bitionist?
Looking to the County Commission-
ers to have split-log drags made and
placed on the roads Ifi the same old
proposition that we have been ex-
periencing for these many years—wait-
ing for someone |or someliody to do
something to the roads. It Is a mat-
ter of community Interest, of individ-
ual interest and one that co-operation
can remedy. It only needa someone
to take the leadership to get results.

The man who leaves Texas seek-
ing tor better opportunities will see
the day that he will wish he was back
In the Lone Star State.
There was a bomb waiting for King
Alfonso at Barcelona all right. In fact
several of them, but fortunately none
of them were put Into execution.
In cleaning up your premises you
help to make Denison a better town
to live In, something that should be
the constant aim of all good citizens.
I WITH THE EXCHANGER; j
Judge, the comic New York week-
ly, has the nerve to trot out the full
dinner pall. That Is a Republican
argument that seems to have lost its
force just at present
Governor Johnson of Minnesota and
his friends evidently think that there
are possibilities in the Democratic
convention not apparent to the aver-
age man and they are going after the
nomination.
By an arrangement between two
traction companies In Chicago it la
now possible to ride for twenty mllea
In the Windy City for one nickel. This
is said to he the longest ride in the
world for the price.
The Terrell Transcript expresses
the opinion that while we are wait-
ing for the State to be gridlroned with
railroads the good people of the towns
can get busy and gridiron the streets
with sidewalks. It is a good Idea.
Fewer laws and better laws, with a
square deal for all, seems to have
been the slogan of the Fort Worth
meeting looking to better legislation
in this state. That is broad enough
and fair enough for all lo stand on.
In Corsicana patrons of the free de-
livery service have been notified that
the delivery of mail wilt be discontin-
ued to all whose houses do not carry
the correct number. It would be a
good idea to forestall similar action
. on the part of the department in this
city.
One of the Herald’s exchanges inti-
mates that the reason Maine and
Kansas have made such floor showings
in the prohibition of the sale of liqior
is due almost entirely to the Republi-
can party. This is hitting the Repub-
licans of Mfeine and Kansas pretty
hard.
The postal authorities have ordered
that mall delivery be discontinued In
Corsicana to those houses that are
not corectly numbered. If you don't
look out an order will come to discon-
tinue rurffi free delivery where the
roads are not properly worked. Then
you'll wish you had used the split-log
drag Instead, of treating lightly this
paper's repeated advocacy of that sim-
ple and Inexpensive good roads mak-
ing device. Bnt perhaps the people
of the country will, like the people of
the town have done, gralt to be forced
to do a thin* that ought to have been
done voluntarily long ago.—Corsicana
Sun,
How about your house, Is It open to
this same criticism? If so why not
get busy In order to avoid any such
action In Denison as has been taken
In Corsicana?

The Herald noted the expression.
It was probably unintentional, however
as Colonel Wortham Is not an aspirant
for office. By the way the Herald
wants to take this occasion to compli-
ment the Colonel on the dignified and
sensible course he Is pursuing In the
Star. He is a strong Halley man but
he is pursuing a safe and sane course.
He does not boll over at every oppor-
tunity and the news columns of the

The drag which has been in use
on the Jamison lane continues to do
satisfactory work. Parties from Man-
chester, who were in town a few day*
ago, stated that the black land road,
where the drag had been ua-d, was
much better than the sand A mile

An American merchant bitterly op-
posed to the custom of "tipping” pub-
lic servants for each inconsequential
service, was astonished to find the
practice In Europe more general than
In America. While.In London he hnd
occasion to employ a cab, and. upon
being driven to the desired destina-
tion, drew forth a handful of change,
counted out the exact tare, and ten-
dered it to the driver.
"Beg pardon, sir!” exclaimed the
cabby In a tone of Injury. “ 'Ow long
ave ye been saving up for this ’oil-
day?”
Suppressing his annoyance at the
driver’s effrontery, the tourist sought
a restaurant, and, upon receiving the
dinner check, again tendered the ex-
act amount of Mb bill. The waiter
bowed, assisted his guest into his coat,
then, selecting a bright new sixpence,

According to the Plttaburg Press, a
couple of New Yorkers were playing
[golf on a New Jersey course on elec-
tion day when they saw a fine-appear-
ing old gentleman looking at them
wistfully. They asked him to Join
the game, which he did with alacrity.
He was mild In speech and manner
and played well. But once When he
made a foozle he ejaculated vehement-
ly the word:
"Croton!"
A few minutes later, when he had
made another bad play, he repeated:
“Croton!"
The fourth time he said this one
of his new-made friends said: 'i do
not want to be Inquisitive, but will
you tell me why you say ‘Croton’ so
often?”
“Well,” said the gentleman, "Isn’t
that the biggest dam near New York?”
He was a Presbyterian clergyman
from Brooklyn.

AFTfiK A TRIAL
Vermont has Just conducted a large
number of license elections with In-
teresting results. Numerous #t|ffifi
towns that had given a fair trial to
the no-license system went back to
the liquor regulation, and aiew small
towns chose to go dry. The State
vote Indicated that In rural commu-
nities there exists a tendency to do
without a license, while tho larger
places, after trial, find that the old
system la better.
The town of Burlington, one of the
Vermont cities, was last year dry.
The recent election was carried by
the high license advocates. It was
shown that while the city had lost Its
revenue and its means for law en-
forcement there was small Improve-
ment, if any, in the drinking situation,
with a growing tendency in the direc-
tion of law evaaion.
Brandon, Colchester, Richmond,
Stowe and Swan ton also gave up the
no-llcense plan after a careful trial.
There was sharp opposition from the
drys, but the majority of the taxpay-
ers agreed that with police regulation
the liquor traffic was In better shape
than without it.
