OFFICUL OR (Ml CITY OF TEMPLE
THE AGONY IS OVER.
The primary election held in
Bell county last Saturday ends
the trouble about who will be
elected tn November. While
it is very certain that only
about half the vote of the coun-
ty was poled aud and that not
ciore than one third of the
vote of the county was given to
any one man, yet it goes that
way. To the observant there
were revelations. It was the
tottest contest we have ever
witnessed in the county.
There was more pulling and
feustling, more enthusiasm than
we have ever witnessed. There
was more protesting again3t
the obligation on the ticket
and more men who declared
they would vote now and in
the general election without
being bonnd by the obligation
priuted on the ticket, than we
have ever seen or heard before.
The feeliug is ripening into a
eenument that executive com-
mittees have no right to go be-
yond the customary usages in
the matter of pledging. We
are only more fixed in our belief
that a pledge to do a thing in
the future is wrong iu its na-
ture aud defeats the end aimed
at. Men who are anxious to
will beoome a menace requiring
a military power to be always
present, they are dangerous
luxuries. No republic ever
fell till it first built up a stand-
ing army to dominate its au
thority. The history of the
ages has constantly repeated
itself. We may not expect in
man for anything beyond what
man has done. We are incon-
sistent enough to think all the
greatest men have died and yet
to claim that all the progress
and civilization of ages past are
brought together in our own.
The paradox of haying the best
government the world ever
knew, dominated andcontroled
by the most corrupt men shows
there is something wrong.
We either do not have a good
government or we do have good
men. We either haye no bet-
ter government than has exist-
ed before or we have wise and
bettermen .

the pledge extorted from them
and feel by it just as they
would feel by a pledge given to
a highwayman. Mental reser-
vations are saving clauses in
these days of foreswearing.

self,’ is circumvented by this
happy eecaue. We have no

tion is right and will ultimate-
ly triumph. The masses of the
people are the recipients of the
benefits of a yaluated home-
stead, and that is just why the
classes are up in arms against
his efforts. The “bugaboo” is
heard on every hand: “It is
dangerons to tamper with the
homestead law.” If oar legis-
lators are less able, less honest
or less trustworthy than the leg-
islators of the by gone, such
would be a just “shiboieth”.
If a manifest injustice must be
perpetuated because our law
makers are incompetent to cor-
rect it, or too dishonest to truBt
them, we are indeed drawing
near our end.

policy of the United 8ates has
always been to acquire more
territory. They refer to the
acquisition or Lousiana, of
Florida, of Texas, California,
New Mexico and Alaska in
proof of the policy. No think-

provided it be necessary. Lou-

A certain southern congressman was
iheard entertaining a company of his
icolleagueB last week in the democratic
cloak room of the house with an ac-
count of an unusual experience, saya
itlhe Washington Post. “During the
woman suffrage convention,” said he,
“several ladies from my district were
present. Early in the convention ona
of them came to the capitol, called at
my committee room, and requested an
interview, which was readily granted.
She stated that the woman suffrage
delegatee were to have 6ome sort of a
public meeting, in which ahe was to
participate, and requested that I should
provide a floral tribute to be presented
to her on that occasion.
‘*1 was naturally somewhat taken
aback at tihe suggestion. I supposed in
the course of my 12 years in congress
tlhat I had exhausted about every
variety of duties that a member of this
house Is called upon to perform. I
have always been ready and willing to
run errands for my constituents, for
which at home my office boy would
have sufficed. I have catered to the
whims of office-seekers. When my con-
stituents have come to me hungry 1
mave fed them, and when they have
come shelterless I have given them
lodging. I have taken my political sup-
porters to the theaters by hundreds,
but I was forced to inform my lady vis-
itor that I must draw the line at bou-
quets.”

The ordinary seaman’s respect for
rank aod station when not connected
wdith his beloved vessel Is decidedly
meager, says a writer in an article en-
titled “On a Man-of-War.” When the

’gangway by the admiral, commanding
officer, and all of the officers of the ship.

for inspection, the marine guard drawn
up with the band on the quarter deck,
the naitional flag is displayed at the
main, the drummer gives four duffles,
the band plays the national air and a
salute of 21 guns is fired. The same
ceremony also takes place on Ms leav-
ing.
On one occasion the president visited
one of the ships informally, dispensing
with the salute and ceremony, when
one of the men rather indignantly
asked another who that lubber was on
the quarterdeck that didn’t “douse his
peak" to the commodore.
,8Choke your luff, will you," was the
reply: “that’s the president of the
United Slates."
“Weill Ain’t he got manners enough
to salute the quarterdeck if he is?"
“Manners! What docs he know about
manners? I don’t suppose he was ever
out of sight of land in hie life."

A golf match was in progress on ona
