Entori-O at the postoffice at Carroll
ton, Texas as second-class matter.
Scratch Shelby and Dsn and
Klean the Klan.
Get on the band wagon before
it is too late. There is a little
room left.
You may fool part of the peo-
ple some time, but not the ma-
jority of the people all the time.
What will the answer be, Klan
controll o? people rule? It is up
to you, Mr. Voter, so do your
duty and vote Saturday for the
candidates who are for all the
people ali the time.
Remember the 4 M’s are all
deserving of your vote and sup-
port. Ma for governor, Miller
for lieutenant governor, Moody
for attorney general and Muse
for district attorney.
We do not believe that Felix is
even a sincere klansman for he
has a Jew and a Catholic for son-
in-laws. Yet if the truth were
known they undoubtedly are
ashamed to acknowledge him as
their father>in-law.
Ever since the days of Christ,
people have been contending
with “praying" people. In Luke
18, 0 to 14 inclusive, Christ tells
of the Pharisee who prayed for
men to hear, the sinner went
in the closet and humbly prayed
to God alone. Christ said,
“For every one that exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he
that humbleth himself shall be
exalted." Felix, the "praying
judge, should meditate over this
scripture, for he is acting like
the Pharisee, while "Ma" goe3
to the closet and prayes alone
to her God. Judge for yourself
which prayer is heard by the
Supreme Ruler of all, the prayer
of the “Praying Pharisee Judge"
or of “Ma," who prays alone for
none to hear.
The man who spoke here Sat
urday evening for Shelby Cox
(we failed to learn his name)
made the statement that A. H.
Mount, the third candidate in
the District Attorney’s race,
was the attorney in the Joe Gas-
kin case, but had never been the
man to admit it. Mr. Mount
made a speech in Carrollton Sat-
urday, July 5th and in the speech
Our Politics
Statement From
Judge E. B. Muse
Editor Ghronicle:
- A persistent and preconcocted propaganda is
being industriously and secretly whispered about
that Garin Muse, candidate for district attorney, is
not the nephew of his uncle, J. G. Muse, and is not
the son of the writer, E. B. Muse, but is a stray
Muse that has dropped down in Dallas Gounty
from parts unknown.
It is also being whispered industriously and
in a secret, "they say,” underhand way, that Gavin
Muse and his wife are Catholics—Catholics.
Gavin Muse is my son and the son of his
mother, Elenore Bassett Muse. He has lived in
Dallas County nearly thirty years, graduated from
the Oak Cliff Dallas High School, attended the
Texas Christian University—known as T. G. U.,
Washington and Lee University, and the Univer-
sity of Texas. Neither Gavin Muse nor his wife
are Catholics. He is a thirty-second degree
Mason and has been a member of the Ghristian
church for over twenty years. He does not claim
to be a bright and shining light like some who are
in politics, but just a member of that faith.
It has come to a pretty pass in this state when
men and women can be whispered to death by the
flitting bat—like gossip and slander of “they say.”
1 regret to have to make such statements as above
that truth and justice should prevail. Such snakes
like those should not be permitted to crawl, but
should be killed in the shell.
E. B. MUSE,
Formerly Judge 44th District Court.
stated that h« WAS the attorney
in that case and had received
$600 as a retainer and was to re-,
ceive $900 more, making $1500
in all. We believe rn fair deal-
ings to all and many who beard
the Cox speaker Saturday knew
Mr. Mount had made the state-
ment, and even some of the Cox
supports who heard him did not
approve of this kind of campaign-
ing. One more speaker like this
one, and Muse will carry this
precinct two to one, as he make
more votes for him than all the
speakers for Muse has done durn
ng the entire campaign. .«

Shelby and Dsn are now weep-
ing on each other’s shoulders
because some zealous klansman
bas mailed a circular to some
snti-klansmen in the city of Dal-
las and some have reached Car-
rollton, which reads as follows:
“Listen Klansmen,
Vote for Shelby and Dan,
To save the Klan."
It appears that there has been
some mistake in the distribution
of this “Campaign Slogan" and
that it has fallen into the hands
some anti-kiansmen, whom
the klan do not want to know
their slogan. Some friends of
Schuyler Marshall have also re-
ceived some of these secret cam-
paign swaps between Shelby
and Dan and have threatened to
vote against Shelby on this ac-
count. Of course Shelby and
Dan offer separate rewards of
$50 and $100 respectively, (the
usual reward offered by them
for anyone who would catch a
flogger). You can’t blame Shel-
by for making this offer when he
wants to cover up a secret cam-
paign trade and you can’t blame
Schuyler Marshall’s friends for
becoming enraged at Shelby for
trying to trade him out of the
race with this clandestine cir-
cular. The peculiar thing about
it is why do these klan brothers,
Shelby and Dan, object to being
connected with each other and
the klan at the same time, when
everyone knows that “Shelby
and Dan are to aave the Klan, ’
if it ia to be saved. How do
klansmen like the loyalty of
Shelby and Dan when they raise
a howl because they have been
accused of trying to save the
klan. It looks as if they would 1
trade them off for a few anti klan
votes later.
“Scratch Shelby and Dan and
Klean the Klan."
Indian Doctor Mutt
Sava Patient or DU
Jlbaro Indiana, one of tba moat an-
moroua and Important of the aboriginal
tribe* of South America, kill nnauc-
eoaafnl "doctor*." This la the custom
revealed la a bulletin Issued by the
United States bureau of American eth-
nology under the significant title of
“Blood Revenge, War and Victory
Feasts." It gives a scientific account of
•avagea In Ecuador more bloodthirsty
than any that over trod the pages of a
5-cent novel.
“Since supposed sorcery la noarly
always the nearest cause of murders
within the tribe," aaya the bulletin, “It
la clear that the professional sorcorera
or medicine men are those members of
Jlbaro society which are most fre-
quently exposed to the revengeful at-
tack* of their enemies.
“When a medicine man has under-
taken to cure a sick person and the
latter dlee la spite of the treatment
the ’doctor* la also generally made re-
sponsible for the death, the relatlvee
of the deed reasoning that th* medi-
cine man, Instead of curing the patient,
on the contrary used hie art to kill
him. Tbe unsuccessful curer Is there-
fore murdered unless be escape* by
flight.
“Since the Jtbaroa, on tbe whole, do
not recognlee what we call natural
death, but always attribute a death to
supernatural causae, any death among
them tends to give rise to s murder,
the relatives of the deceased consider-
ing It as their duty to take revenge
upon the supposed author of the acci-
dent.”
When the Jlbaro kills his enemy ho
desires to Inflict sa large wounds and
to shed as much blood as possible,
says tbe Philadelphia Inquirer. When
fighting another tribe the Jlbaro war-
riors cut off the heads of fallen ene-
mies, remove the akin and hair from
tbe skull and. after an elaborate proc-
ess which shrinks the features, *«si

cord around the neck as a sort of dis-
tinguished service medal.

i It pays in life to be able to make
people like you. And so often it is
some seemingly very little thing that
may hold you back. *
t For example, quite unconsciously
you watch a person’s teeth when he
or she is in conversation with you.
If they are unclean, improperly kept,
and if you are a fastidious person,
you will automatically hold this
against them. And all the while this
same analysis is being made of you.
