Anti-Trust
Passed.
Jast as the curtain is about
to fall on the 26th Legislature,
they pass the great Anti-Trust
bill. The governor will doubt-
less sign it, and the sword of
Damocles will dangle danger-
ously over the heads of trusts
and combines in this state, af-
ter next January. The bill
provides enough to protect the
people if the law is executed.
What effect it will have depends
upon the execution. Every ef
fort in this direction, that fails,
is but an added rivet to the
shackel.
The chief light made against
the measure was due to its in-
cluding labor organizations. It
was claimed that the only
means of protecting wages was
to permit organized labor to
act in concert. The legislators
were wise in not exempting la-
bor organizations, for the law
would have been class legisla-
tion pure and simple and, of
course, would have gone down
under the judicial hammer.
This element is to be feared in
putting the law into active op-
erations. They sit in the jury
boxes and must decide on cases
of combinations of their co-la-
borers. Will they do it justly,
fairly and according to the
spirit of the law? If they at-
tempt, by their findings, to
push their companions through
the meshes while catching and
punishing the capitalists that
are caught violating its provis-
ions, the law will prove a men-
ace to the public and act as a
boomerang against any who
may attempt to correct the evils
of combined capital. Our con-
stitution provides that all men
shall stand equal before the
law, and any effort to shield
one class of citizens from the
provisions that operate as a re
straint upon another class, can-
not meet that approval and
hearty co-operation that guar-
antees final success.
From the day that a young man starts
out to seek his first position to the end of
his business life, his health has a world to
do with his success. When a young man
applies to a business man for a position, his
personal appearance has a deal to do with
the outcome. “ Personal appearance” does
not mean dress alone. It does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. A young man
may be clean, so far as soap and water will
make him, but be disfigured by unsightly
pimples, eruptions and ulcerations on the
skin. These are due to impurities in the
blood. The blood becomes impure because
it is improperly nourished. Instead of
receiving the life-giving elements of the
food, it receives the foul emanations of
indigestion, bilousness and costiveness.
The reason that Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery is the best remedy for
disorders of this description is that it goei
right to first causes. It gives a man a
appetite “like a horse.” It facilitates the
flow of digestive juices. It corrects all
disorders of the digestion, and makes the
afjsipiilaiioi} of the life - giving elements
of the food perfect. It invigorates the
liver. It purifies and enriches the blood.
It makes tke muscles strong and active.
It tones and steadies the nervfes. It makes
a young man look as he should—strong of
body, alert of brain and clean and whole-
some of skin. Medicine dealers sell it,
and have nothing “just as good.”
"I had eczema in its worst form," writes
Austin Ramsey. Bsq., of Saltillo, Huntingdon
Co., Pa. “ I tried three doctors but got no re-
lief. I thought it would set me wild, it itched
and burned so badly. The neighbors thought I
would never be cured. I took your ' Golden
Medical Discovery ’ and am now well."
crib and plenty in the larder,
this human animal will not
arouse to a sense of danger un-
less it, be personal. His fears
as to his future never disturb
him. Threats to rob him of
his living or his liberty fall
like eider-down upon sleeping
swine. With plentifnl crops,
the administration may plaster
this country over with useless
bonds without a protest.
To call a man a hero who
boldly jumps onto a straw man
and thumps the face off of it,
would be just as appropriate as
to call Dewey a hero. Don
Quixote, who fought the wind
mills under the impression that
they were giants, deserves to
be regarded in the light of a
hero equally with the man that
jumped onto the old Spanish
hulks and thought it was a
fleet. If Dewey is the man we
thick he is, he will push aside
all this mouth worship of a
foolish people and come home
like a man who had discharged
his duty, no more.
The News publishes:
Extract from the report of the
legislative committee of the Texas
Press Association: ‘ The public is
entitled to the truth on all occasions
and at all times when necessary for
the public good, and this is all the
reputable press desires to publish,
and the publication ol facts in which
the general public is interested
ought not to be followed by a pre-
sumption of malice.”
The News says, in comment-
ing on above:
There are in the code of Texas,
laws for the protection of the fowls
ot the air, beasts of the field, fishes
of the sea and for all manner of men
save the newspaper ishmal. He is
not in it until his services and col-
umns are needed to boost some can-
didate who stands eager to go to
Austin and manifest his contempt
for the press. What the press of
Texas demands is that its rights
and wrongs be measured by fair
rules of law and not by hard rules
of prejudice and politics. This is a
reasonable demand, and the people
are going to approve it.
If tb# argument offered by
ftoto sofons as to why they do
not enact a jast lible iaw, had
one single grain of oommon or
uncommon sense in it, it would
him. A man’s poverty is no
cause for his being put under
au unjust judgement. The
press has asked for a definition
of libel. The law says “libel”
is punishable with fine and im-
prisonment. Now, Mr. Repre-
sentative you have declared
that “libel” is unlawful, please
tell us what “libel” is. We
have had occasion to consult
with some of the ablest consel
in the state,and not one of them
could define “libel.” They
could only ask what had been
said and then answer, yon
have a bad case. Why bad?
They knew that everything
was left to the prejudice of the
jury, the judge and the prose-
cuting attorney. They knew
nothing was defined. They
knew the editor entered the
court deprived of the privilege
of presenting evidence to eg
tablish the truth of h\s decla
rations and under a legal pre-
sumption of guilt.
The News says:
The “self-government experi-
ment” which has been tried in the
public schools of Milwaukee, has not
proved a success, and the principals
haye been directed to return to the
the old modes ot discipline. The
children did not prove equal to the
responsibility, and the parents com-
plained that the system made spies
of their children, and caused them
to be watchful of petty short com-
ings, revengeful when arrested, and
degraded when brought into the
school municipal court One boy
was detected trying to buy votes
with pencils to compass his election
as an alderman in the school gov-
ernment.
That boy who tried to buy
votes is an up-to date politician
already. He may succeed Han-
na some day. The school is
not responsible for that nuture.
They did not have self-govern-
ing sohools in the days of Han-
na. The opportunity reveals
the man, bat don’t make him.
There is a very healthy sen-
timent now growing op against
organized capital, what excuse
can be offered why
not not grow up against organ-
ized labor They are the conn-
ter parts of each other, there is
no excuse for the one nnless the
other is permitted. Labor or-
Once a man dug a fortune out of
the mountains. Just as he was in
the act of starting for home after
boxing up his treasure he took sick
and realized that his life was about
to end. He was far from home and
friends, but as the end approached
he felt the natural desire to have
his remains cared for and knowing
no other way,he wrote a note and
nailed it up in the box of gold donat-
ing to the finder the fortune upon
the single condition of his taking
care of his body. He still had the
strength to roll his treasure into
the mountain stream labeled “A box
of gold.” He pushed it from him
realizing that ’tv as his life work and
that his bones must bleach in the
mountains unless the treasure was
picked up before it reached the sea.
Hundreds of miles down the stream
there stood a man who though often
promising himself a boat had never
built one, a great rain had fallen
and the stream was a torrent, r^He
stood upon the bank and saw valu
able timber pass him and longed for
a boat. Far up the riyer he saw a
box floating deep, as it approached
he could easily read “A box ot gold."
He could not swim, he hurried to his
house, determined to improvise a
boat, but while he was gone the box
passed on and left him,what he de-
served to be, a poor maD. Moral:
Every one should have a
boat. Not necessarily one to float
in the water, but a means of reach-
ing his fortune when it floats by.
But Temple has no mill.

fore they need a rigid libel law!
The press has asked for noth-
ing incompatible with strict
justice. Because a man is
poor is no leason why he
should not have justice done

anything else exoept to fix the

Stephenyllle, Tex., May 22.—-Par-
ticulars reached here this morning
of the terrible work of an electrical
storm in the northern part of this
county yesterday afteruoon.
At Mount Pleasant Baptist
church, seventeen miles north of
this place, the congregation had
been dismissed and had started
home, but when the storm was seen
to be approaching so rapidly fifteen
persons returned and took refuge in
the church. In the midst of the
storm a bolt of lightning struck the
church, coming down the stovepipe
into the house.
A youni? man named Will Kauf-
man was instantly killed and nine
other persons were shocked severeiy
two of whom are not expected to
live.
Mrs. Bowen, wife of one of the
well-to do citizens of that section,
was sitting holding her nursing
babe. She was struck by the deadly
current and stunned, but the babe
was unhurt. She was removed to
her home as soon as the storm
it shonld passed by, and the best medical aid
summoned, but at a late hour last
night her life was despaired of.
A young lady was also struck and
her clothing and shoes badly burn-
ed. She is also in a critical condi-
tion. The other seven persons are
not so badly hurt.
Young Kaufman had worked at
the barber trade in Linglefieid, but
was lately employed on a farm.
A violent wind and considrable
hail accompanied the storm, doing
much damage to fruit trees and
growing crops, but up to this time
no further damage to human life is
reported.
The track of the storm was not
oyer half a mile wide. It traveled
from northwest to southeast.

San Antonio, Tex., Mav 23.—Rev-
enue Stamp Clerk H. A. Campbell,
of the local internal revenue office,
received some news this morning
which is quite puzzling. The local
government repository notified him
that it would no longer receive $1.00
bills on deposit, as it had been de-
cided that it was not legal tender
and that repositories were not
obliged to accept it. As Mr. Camp-
bell is compelled to put his money
in the designated repository, which
in this case is the San Antonio Na-
tional bank, and as the law requires
him to accept government money in
any form, he is in a quandary. If
he accepts the dollar bills he cannot
deposit them, and if he refuses to
accept them there is absolutely
trouble ahead. Consequently he
has written Collector Flanagan at
Austin for instructions.
