THE TAX RATE REDUCED.
The Pot h not chanred U view with
refp t to State taxation. It bellevos that
if the system were changed entirely and
State revenues collected from corpora-
tions and sources other than ad valorem
taxe9 on realty much of the present In-
equality would he abolished. But until
the constitution Is changed so aa to per-
mit such method of raisins State rev-
enues the preawnt full rendition poller
must be maintained aa efficiently as pos-
sible. The taxable values of the State are now
shown to be about ti 160.000. 000. Thla does
not represent the total wealth of t he
8tate by any means but It shows that
fair progress has been made in putting
the full rendition law Into effect. In none
of the count les h as propert y been as-
sessed at full value. In many of them
the old rate of assessment is still
maintained and to this extent more or
less. Injustice la forced upon thoee who
have rendered their property at higher
ftgTires than formerly.
U Is important to note however that
the tax rate fur State purposes Is now
but 6.2S cents on the J 100 valuation the
lowest tax rate In the Union. Assuming
that the asseesments are not more than 50
per cent of real values we see that a
citiien owning $30000 worth of property
Is taxed but 16.26 for State purposes and
surely no one can call that burdensome
In the course of time when the new
law la fully in force everywhere the tax
rate for State purposes may fall to the
trlvlaJ s'jm of S cents on the $100 valua-
tion. lyow taxation is a great inducement ri
homeseekers. and when they pee how low j
the tax rate Is and how liberal the pm- j
vision for public education. Texaa ought
to attract tens of thousands of thrifty j
settlers from other States wherethe t&z
Duraensrfv y tlmts greater.
-4""ts proper to note that the reduction
of the tax rate to 6.X cents for State
pcrpoees) and It 2-3 cents for schools com-
pletely vindicates the Campbell policy
which was so criticised by his enemies
during the recent campaign. It Is at
least true that the farmers have not suf-
fered as a result of the full rendition
law Most of them will find their taxes
substantially red viced with an increased
allowance for the education of their chil-
dren. The heavier burdens have been
placed upon railroads and other corpora-
tions It must be said however that the full
rendition law has not made lax dodging
Imposaible. fr the figures show that the
rate of assessment greatly varies accord-
ing to locality probably as much as here-
tofore but it Is to t hoped that a great-
er measure of equality will be attained
in time.

To My Frtenda
In taking np this subject my purpose la
to give to the raaillin public a connected
chain of clrouanatances showing the
plausibility of tha grand and mysterious
dispensation of oar Creator and In doing
so I will be compelled to review and re-
peat much that I have aaid In my former
articles and for which I ask your pardon
and the forbearance of the good and gen-
aroua editor of The Post.
In the discussion of this subject I am
fully aware that 1 may arouse the dta-
aentlng voice of some of the grandest
minds that exist the slurs and frowns of
others and even the threats uf some and
be left alone In my delusion but In all
of this I have the happy consolation of
knowing that once there was a man
whose mind conceived the Idea that this
world was round and on the other side
there existed the same material that there
waa where he dwelt he went about and
talked his views He met rebuffs and
slurs and was even threatened with an
asylum for his Insanity hut at last he
found comfort in a grantl little woman
who listened to his argument saw the
reason and with her jewels fitted himself
up. and todav I and millions of others
are enjoying the fruits of his absurdity.
Even Christ suffered an ignominious death
and so can I.
But. In the beginning iod created the
heaven and the earth ((.Jen. 1:1). And
Qod aald let the waters under the heaven
be gathered together unto one place and
let the dry land appear and It was ao.
(Oen.. 1 9 ) And God sai.i let the waters
bring forth abundantly the moving crea-
tures thai hath life and fowl that may
tiy above the earth In the open Armament
of Heaven (Gen I 20. 1 And Ood made
the beast not beasts of the earth after
his kind and cattle (domeetlc animals!
after their kind and everything that
creepoth upon the earth after his kind
and ttod saw that It was good. (Gen.
I S i ..ow we have all the world com-
plete with all of the creatures that Uul
created and Intended for the use of man.
So God created man tnot men) in His
own image. In the Image of G'd created
lie htm. male and female created He
laem. (Gen.. 1:17.)
Thla clearly Indicates that God created
only one pair and we Mnd this opinion
supported by the fact that God named
the male Adam and Adam named the
female Eve and that they were the only
creatures mentioned as man lhat were In
the Garden of Eden. They were the only
ones driven out of the Garden of Eden.
That they were the father and mother
of fain and Abel and they were the ones
who were alluded to when God paid: '"Be
fruitful and multiply and replenish the
eaith and suhdue It. and have dominion
over the fish of the sea and over the fowls
of the air and over every living thing
lhat i:ioeth on the earth. ' ((Jen. l.A.)
And tne Lord God formed man of the
.lust of the ground and breathed Into his
nostrils the breath of life and man be
. unie a living soul." (Gen. 11.7.) Tlil.H
3hcws how man was created and that
(here was only one. and that he alone
was given the breath of life.
And the Lord (iod planted a g
eastward In Lden. and there He puf rne
man wh'mi He had formed. ((j: H i t
And
Adam gave names U all cattle
and
tne row! or tne ay .nd .very
beast of the field but fl7r Adam there
was not found a helpmeet for him."
(Gen.. 11:IM "aytin clearly Indi-
cates 'haTTne Lord onlv made one pair
"rtBd Adam said "This Ja.how hone
of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She
shall lie called woman because she was
taken out of man." (Oen. 11 :B ) Again
we find only one pair.
Now I will begin to raise the curtain
and expose the truth to the Ignorant and
prejudiced the sacrilegious and the blas-
phemous. Now the serpent was more subtle than
any beast of the field. And he said untj
the woman. Yea. hath Ood said etc."
(Genesis 3:1.)
It seems that Adam had already named
him. but why was he classed amonif the
beasts of the field? Why. If he was a
snake he was not classed amonr the
snakes of the grass" as some Ignorantj
j do? Simply bevause he dhl not belong to

that I will after a while show that Cain
tn bis Ignorance of God s omnipresence
was lying up with on his farm
"And Adam knew Eve. his wife an I
she conceived and bare Cam. and site
said I have gotten a man from the Lord
And she attain bare his brother Abel. And
Abel was a keeper of sheep hut Cain was a
tiller "f tiie (ftound " (Gere1 11-2 ) N'ow
there are only two children born to Ada?
i'm of 'aiSferj
and Fve. and we find no ment
till after 8eth was born.
"Anil Cain snd Abel made offering unto
God. and the lird had respect unto Abel
and to his offering. (Genesis i 4 ) But
unto Cain and to his offering he had not
repect. and Cain was very wroth and
his countenance fell. (Genests 4'6 ) Anl
the Lord said unto Cain. "Why art thou
wroth and why Is thy countenance fal'-
en?' (Genesis 4 I If thou doest well
shalt thou not be accepted and If thou
doest not well sin lleth at the door and
unto thee shall be his desire and thou
shalt rule over him." (Genesis 4:7
This shows that Cain had offended the
Iord by cohabiting with a female beajt.
and that God here named her sin. thd
first time the word was ever used and
that God made them man and wife and
performed the same ceremony that He
did when He united Adam and Eve. This
clearly Indicates that the serpent that !c-
guiled Eve was a beast that could walk
and talk like man for there Is no snake
that could ever talk or walk. And the
curse that the Almighty put upon htm
was to him individually and not col-
lectively as some Ignorants presume to
think Besides will some of these Igno-
rant tell me which one of the many
varieties Is the one that was wiggling
around on his tall and doing smii beguil-
ing talking with his forked tongue to
Mother Eve?
I am sure It was not the rattler for he
would not get up on his music box for
Hny woman living. I can't think it w-
the joint snake for he would be afraid
he might break In two and hurt himself.
I don't think It was the coachwljlp for
he never has time to take off his ap
when he goes by. and I know tt was not
the moccasin for that old scoundrel Ia
always mad and he would have hit Mother
Eve. so I can't tell which It was.
Now I will rAlse the curtain a little
higher. Cain evidently became lncenaol
and charged his brother Alel with by
exposure and dlfKrace.
"And Cain talked with Abel. his
brother and It arne to pass that Cain
rose up against Abel hla brother and
slew him." (Gero-wl" 4".)
Now we have only one child left to
Adam and Eve
"And the Lord tiecame so offended that
He drove Cain out from His presence and
Cain said. 'Behold Thou hast driven me
out this day from the face of the earth
and from Thy face shall I be hid'"
(Genesis 4:14 )
Cain was distressed for fear his progeny
would be like the ieast and man would
kill them and appealed to the Lord and
Ood put a mark on him (on his progeny)
which lyto more nor less than straight
hair which has deceived many persona
up to the present day
"And Cain wen( oirt from the Lord
and dwelt In the land of Nod " (Genesis
4 1 ) "And Cain knew his wife and
Enoch was born "'Genesis 14-17.)
Where did Cain get this wife? Is It not
the same female beast that Ood had unit-
ed him with before he slew his brother
For there were no other children born to
Adam snd Eve
"And Adam knew his wife again and
Beth was born" for God said she hath
appointed me another seed Instead of
Abet whom Cain slew " (Oenesls 4:28.)
Remember this was after Abel bad been
slain and after Enoch was born. Now It
Is not plain thai the descendant of Cain
were the sons of men ths Japs and Chi-
nese or the yellow race?
"And the days of Adam after he bad
begotten Seth were Mo year and he
begat sons sjid daughters.'' (Genesis 1:4.1
No daughter! before Seth yet Cain bad
gotten a wife and she had bora him a
sow Enoch. Now w bar ths arss lion
of 4ho beast af ma) aad of tha aona of
aJF4
ova raihrwraoav waw w awtft tev

Now I wis
the curtain a Mttlti
higher.. ; js -jifsj
"And tt Caaaa to pans when mea began
to multiply a tha. (lkce 0f the earth aad
daughters war born unto them that tha
sons of Qad aav the daughters of mSB
that they wore fair and they took thara
wives of aO watoh they chose." (Genesis
t:l. I) ' "
"And Ood aaar the wickedness of man
was great aa tha earth and that every
imagination of the thoughts of His waa
only evil eoaUauaJI) (Genesis :&.) I
"And It repeat (Sib the Lord Uiat be had
mad maa OB the earth and It artevad
him at his IsaarV' (Genesis :.)
"And tha Lord aaid 1 in destroy maa
vhom I ha eraated from the face of
the earth for If repentoth me that I
have mad them." (Geneois ' )
Remember new that God did not create
the son of artan the ye. low race; they
were tha work: oT Cain and that Ood haa
never noticed Cain or his descendants
since he drove Cain from his presence.
"But Noah found grace in the eyes of
the Lord." (Genesis m i Bo the Lord
concluded to destroy everything with a
flood but ha aald to Noah: But with thee
I will establish any covenant and thou
shalt come Into the ark. thou and thy
sons and thy wife and thy sons wive
with the .tOaneeia S.IM Of every clean
beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens
male and ha female (meaning those that
had not cohabited with each other) and
of beasts that are not clean by twos male
and his female. (Genesis 7 :2 ) And Noah
and his sons and their wives went Into
the ark (Genesis 7:7) and with him and
his family of clean beasts and beasts that
are not clean and of fowls and of every-
thing that crept upon the earth went Into
the ark. (Genesia 7:8. 9 )
Now we are ready for the flood to de-
stroy the sons of Ood (man) but not the
sons of men who descended from Cain
for God haa never spoken of Cain or his
descendants and as an undeniable evi-
dence that they were not In the flood
we find from profane history that they
migrated from the west to the east and
that after the flood when the descendants
of Noah began to spread out In the world
that wherever they went they found these
yellow creatures even on the American
continent. Beetdes. we find from the Bible
that the water reduced (receded) and dry
land appeared hence ft Is evident the
whole world was nut flooded hut only
that part that was occupied by man; and
as the yellow race had about WX) years
to increase from the days or Ann 10
those of Noah it Is no wonder that thejf
became scattered all over the earth. .nd
profane history also allows that the Macks
were found In many parts of the 'eartli.
which does away with the fallaus idea
that the neh-ro originated wlLff uam and
he who claims that NoahV cursa upon
Canaan turned his skin Ui4(cit and kinked
his hair lets his preluQiee override his
reason P-'e he thjfji for one moment
that the A Innghty X ould connlvs at such
cond uct from an jt drunken grandfather
on an innocent-'bov ? It Is all bosh an
effort to per . the truth of the Bible to
suit theiriyfpose. for do we not know that
the lsriysinsa. who descended from Sheen.
met -flown into Egypt and were the
slavrg of the Egyptians who descended
rr.n Ham?
Now. the flood Is over the waters have
receded and Noah and his family are on
terra firms once more. So now 1 will
give the curtain Its final roll.
And God blessed Noah and his sons
snd said unto them be fruitful and mul-
tlply and replenish the earth- (Oen. :1 )
Kvery moving thing lhat uveth snail
be meat to you; even as the green herb
have I given you all things." (Oen. 1:3.)
"But flesh with the life thereof which
is the blood thereof shall ye not eat."
(Gen. 9:4.) This clearly indicates that
Ood forbade man from eating man. "And
surely your blood of your lives will I re-
quire at the hsnd of every beast will 1
require ft. snd at the hand of every man.
j at the hand of every man's brother will
1 require trie tire or man. (uen. 9 5 )
"Who so shed man's blood by man shall
his blood be shed for in the Image of God
made He man." (Gen. 8:.)
Wh&t kind of a lust Is It that can un-
derstand such orders from God? Is It not
the same lhat God married Cain to before
Enoch or Seth were born? The same
seven and seven male and his female that
Nfh was ordered to take into the ark.
or was It the horses or cows or asses that
he alludes to? Certain it was a domestic
lieast.
"And six years shalt thou sow thy land
and shall gather the fruits thereof but
the seventh thou shalt let It rest and lie
still that the poor of thy people may eat.
and what they leave the beasts of the
field shall eat In like manner shalt thou
dLl wth '"' vineyard and with thy ollva
yard" (Ex. 23:10.11.)
What kind of beasts ar they that you
can turn In on your vineyard and olive
yard that will not totally destroy them?
"And God said of the- mountain at
Sinai. There shall not a band touch It.
whether It be beast or man." (Ex. 19:
!.'. 13.) What kind of a beast Is It that
has hands?
God orders: "And if a man lie with a
beast he shall Burely be put to death and
yp shall slay the beast And If a woman
approach unto a heast nd He down there-
to thou shalt kill the woman and the
beast. Their blood shall be upon." (Lev.
lh 23. 24; 20:16.11 )
See the plague sent upon man and beast
after all the cattle had been killed. (Same

G1 ordered the Israelites to build cities
for th- I.eviies. And the cities shsll they
hare to dwell in uid the suburbs of them
sliall be for their cattl and for thei.
goods (their grain) and for all their
beasts '"' Numbers 3B:S.) What kind
of beast? Lion tiger or what? When we
owned them bb property we called those
places negro quarters.
And David Bald "What Is man that
thou are mindful of him for thou hast
made him a little lower than the angel
and hast crowned him with glory and
honor. Thou nia.lst him to have domin-
ion over the works of Thy hands; thou
hast put all things under his feet all
sheep and oxen yea and tha beast af the
field." (Psalm S 1
This clearly Indicates that one Is celes-
tial while the other Is terrestrial. "For
word came unto the king- of Nineveh and
he arose from his throne and he caused
It to be proclaimed saying let neither
man nor beast herd nor flock taste any-
thing. But let man and beast be covered
with sackcloth and cry mightily unto
Ood." (Jonah .1 .. 7 8.) Perhaps some
one could cover the beast with sackcloth
but Ignorant how about crying mightily
unto God? No prow would answer.
Now I sm done forever. My purpose
has been to hen. fit my friends and If 1
have done so I am thankful. If you wish
to know more search the Scripture. My
conclusions ha" been formed from the
fart I find In the Bible. They are In-
disputable and those relative to the negro
(the beast). When I think of the Edna.
Beaumont and Greenville affair and hun-
dreds of other such crimes they have com-
mitted since emancipation I feel they un-
questionably have not been misnamed and
from my export' m e with them for over
seventy years I .n think of 00 remedy

I notiea that Tha Post along with other
Vaadrna newspapers la running; aeries
Of cunningly devised advertisements for
tba Liquor Dealers' Protective aaaocla-
tloa daatanad to mislead the publio tato
tba belief that the modern crii&frtraaduur
aad man -debauching liquor trafftd had
tba Indorsement of leaders In church and
Stat of former years. In your paper re-
cently appeared one of these ada designed
to give the Indorsement of John Weslev
to tba Anheuser-Busch brand of alooholio
. poison that deserves the righteous ta-
dlgnation of every Methodist the world
This shrewdly designed advertisement
Contains three references to Wesley's
writings each of which Is a mendacious
taleshood or a misrepresentation amounts
big to a falsehood. This beer ad says:
I. "In one of bis sermons ha (Wesley)
declares 'Without bread and wine tba
strongest bodies decay.' The brewers'
own citation falls to show that Wealsv
over said such a thing In his. sermons or
elsewhere but does show a somewhat
similar quotation from Dr. Brevlnt one
deaa of Lincoln as follows: 'Now. as
without bread and wine or something ah-
swerable to It. the strongest bodies soon
decay so without the body and blood of
Christ ths holiest souls must soon per-
ish.' Note the deliberate effort to de-
calve by omitting 'or something answer-
able to It.' Note also that Dr. Brevlnt
(not Wesley at all) uses bread or wine
merely In the sense of food as waa com-
mon In his day and that merely to Illus-
trate the spiritual truth of soul suste-
nance." A business Is hard pressed indeed for
something to commend it to public favor
when it must resort to such tricks of de-
ception and falsehood.
The brewers' ad Intends to convey that
he "praised the use of fermented liquors
as a beverage. In his questions to preach-
ers in 1K appears this: "Do you choose
and use water for your common drink
snd only take win. medicinally and sac-
ramentally?" Does this look like Mr.
Wesley "praised the use of even wine
as a beverage?
S The third falsehood of bi'e-werp.
ad Is this: "He advlea"1iis followers to
Drink water only when it agrees with
your stomach; If Jot good small beer.' "
What Wesley really said was: "Drink
only water. If it agrees with your stom-
ach; Ifr-Tiot. good small beer." Note the
deliberate fraud In transposing the word
QfAy and otherwise changing the quota-
tlon. Instead of discouraging the use of
water W esley meant to commend It as
the universal drink except to those with
disordered stomachs. Hear him: Volume
T page 668: "Water Is the wholesomest of
all drinks quickens the appetite and
strengthens the digestion. Strong and
more especially spirituous liquors are a
certain though slow poison. Malt liquors
(except clear small beer and small ale of
due age) are exceedingly hurtful to ten-
der persons." The small beer of Wesley's
day was never suspected of being intox-
icating and he evidently had no idea of
recommending the use of intoxicants such
ss Budweiser. Hear him In the Wesleyan
Magasine of 1797: "You see the wine
when It sparkles In the cup and you are
going to drink it. I tell you there is
poison In It and beg you to throw It
away." In volume page 6676. Mr. Wes-
ley aays: "It la amazing that the pre-
paring and selling of this poison should
be permitted. I will not say In any Chris-
tian country but In any civilised State."
Evidently If Mr. Wesley were in Texas
today he would favor abolishing the
whole brewery and liquor business Instead
of indorsing it. as this lying advertise-
ment would make believe.
This ad Is a sample of a series that are
appearing In the leading dallies of the
United States designed to bolster up the
tottering liquor traffic by an array of
names of former years who In their dsv
had no occasion such as exists today to
denounce the beverage liquor traffic as
the arch enemy of everything dear to the
human race.
I fully understand that The Post is not
responsible for statements In Its adver-
tising columns to the extent It Is for Its
editorial utterances but If It Is going to
sell Its advertising space for circulating
such mendacious falsehoods and such
shameless slanders upon great and good
men as are contained In these brewerv
ads It ought at least to allow us space to
refute them. H. A. Ivy.

INJUSTICE TO TEACHERS.
They Are Permanently Injured at
Times for Doing Their Duty.
To the FniTos :
We hsve watched with much Interest
the progress of the case of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college and Dr.
Harrington. We were pleased to read of
the complete exoneration of Dr. Harring-
ton by the board of dlrectora which was
the only course open to them in view of
the evidence published during the Inves-
tigation. Not a charge was sustained
and It Is beyond the power of the writer
to understand why the alumni did not
stop the persecution and advise the pa-
trons and their sons to accept the verdict
of the board as conclusive. If this had
been done by the alumni the institution
would have moved on to continued suc-
cess as it has been doing under the ad-
ministration of Dr. Harrington.
The sequel is but another of the many
Injustices thst come to teachers in the
public service. Many superintendents of
city schools have been removed to their
professional and personal Injury without
sufficient reaaon. it has been the iuih-
fortune of some superintendents to be
removed for the reason that they were
doing their duty to the letter. The ex-
ecutive ofricer of a school system who
does his duty often crosses the wishes of
other people. Some of these people could
be placated In no way excefjt through
the neglect of duty by the si ol officer.
8uch a course would prostitute the pub-
lic service for the teacher s place. The
superintendent Is not removed on the real
grounds that produce the opposition.
All those who have not been able to
accomplish personal ends through the
superintendent make common war on
him. and appeal to the public through
such charges aa they think will receive
the most ready attention by the public.
These disgruntled persons keep up the
agitation till the board removes the su-
perintendent or calls for his resignation
for the quieting of the designing agita-
tors. A new man conies In who will
please those agitators If he accedes to
their wishes. If he does ss the former
superintendent attends strictly to the
public duties the same agitators will
begin another campaign and the same
results will follow. Another faithful
teacher loses In personal and professional
standing all because he did his duty.
There is no clsss of people no profes-
sion whose members sre subject to more
unjust orltlclsm or who suffer mure for
(tie so-called "public good" than do the
teachers. They have all classes and sll
conditions to deal with but the difficul-
ties they hare to encounter do not have
the proper consideration by many people.
When an officer In any other line has
been Investigated and exonerated he Is
not then asked to resign for the public
good. Tb case of the Impeachment of
a land commissioner of this State may be
cited as a Case in point. At the conclu-
sion of the investigation he having been
exonerated reassumed the duties of the
office and continued in the same Courts
and Investigations are to protect the
right of the Innocent and It Is wrong to
fore sn officer to resign at a serious
and personal professional loss after an
Investigation and complete vindication.
A teacher's professional standing Is his
property and ha should not be deprived
of it without due legal process. And when
this legal process haa been resorted to
he should not bo forced for aay reason to
relinquish his property right to which ba
is Justly entltlsa. This entbrcsd resig-
nation will follow Dr. Harrington through
the remainder af hla Ufa. If his name
should ba mentioned for aome Important
educational position In some other state

A Oarmaa writer la afoClura'a lor Au-
gust apaned my ays on tha liquor prob-
lem under tha Question "Does It PyT"
This man stated that he waa neither
drinker nor user of tobacco. Hla afft
meat la tmanswerable aa ha proves that
the (rsatest foros tat overthrowing tha
dominating rule of Kins Aloohol la tha
practical application of business methods
a simple business proposition does it
pay? It has demonstrated its superiority
by a prohibition that does prohibit aside
from the question of morality. When any
man soaking employment tn the business
world stands before an employer ha has
to ana war twa questions satisfactorily:
"Do you drink " "Do you amoke cigar-
ettesf" Either of these Questions an-
Srered affirmatively bars him from a job.

starve and has made millions of sober

quit when It pays him to quit.
"Honor to whom honor is due." Give
the business men of the world the credit
justly theirs for they are succeeding anl
destroying ths liquor habit on pure busi-
ness principles. This fight haa been won
by the commercial world quietly and ef-
fectively while wild-eyed fanatics are
rushing in to claim a victory that belongs
fah-ty to cool-headed traders railroad
men and the professional classsimply
ws won't havs it It don't pay cut it out
Wa live In a commercial age and if
liquor was profitable In a general way it
would stay. It Is said ef Stonewall Jack-
son that he ordered the destruction of a
warehouse of whisky too easily accessible
to his soldiers and said as a reason for
doing ao he feared that whisky and Its
effect on hla men mora than all the
armies of his enemy. It wss good mili-
tary business to cut It out it didn't pay.
This is the situation today and the ver-
dict of the best business men tested by
experience that causes them.-'to turn the
bark of their hnf tc the drinker which
the latter 'SOon realises he must elthor
q'u! Of be extradited from the business
world. These business men with no
trumpet blast or heated oratory have
dealt the black eye to alcoholism as ne
wobbles unsteadily groggy with the blow.
While the farmer to a large extent. Is the
feeder of the world the man of business
Is the purveyor and distributor of the
food He Is the provider for the children
of the farmer that goes from the rural
home as a knight errant to equip himself
with the advantages to be found only in
denser populated cities. There the boys
and girls find schools of all kinds In
which to learn up-to-date methods In all
the pursuits of life. These business men
are seen In magnificent church edifices
business emporiums. Toung Men's Chrls-
tian Association buildings palatial resi-
dences and thousands of other things of
utility and beauty In a city. Supply tal-
ent for pulpit school and rostrum In a
word are the superstructures of all help-
ful enterprise. These grand men smile
good-naturedly and modestly do things
while the so-called reformer does the
wind-Jamming act. The secret of success
with business men Is action action
prompt and effective. When they go up
against a proposition the business instinct
is dominant what's in It? Does it pay
If unavailable why waste time on It? If
good the quicker adopted the better. If
harmful cut It out. And so It seems the
commercial world haa sealed the doom of
whisky. George E. Clothier.

IS CAMPAIGN FUND NECESSARY
Argued That Democrats Hare No
Need for Honey.
To t Hr FntTos :
Presumsbly like many others. I read
with Interest your editorial in Wednes-
day's Issue (Augti.it 12. 1908). appealing
for voluntary subscriptions to the demo
cratte campaign fund.
Why is a fund needed? And for what
will It be expended?
You say: 'There are heavy expenses
In the way of rent clerk hire traveling
postage an printing. Incidental to every
campaign" etc. .Now. what rent Is there
to pay? What clerks are to be hired and
for what? Who la to travel and why?
Wlui 1 printing and postage Is necessary?
Why are these expenses Incidental to
every campaign?
' lf course all Intelligent men know that
heretofore the vast millions collected and
expended by the republicans was for the
purpose of "influencing" voters whether
corruptly or not being debstable ground.
It was money however wrung from man-
ufacturers snd other special Interests de-
manding special advantages from govern-
ment over their other fellow citlxens.
Those who managed the campaigns and
collected and spent these vast sums of
course needed expensive suites of apsrt-
ments and large corps of clerical as-
sistants and hired public speakers an In-
direct method of buying votes. But why
should democrats Imitate this method? A
demo ratlc dollar used to Influence a
voter Is Just as corrupting as a republican
dollar so expended the difference being
the republicans will use mllllona where
the democrats will only spend thousands.
Hut the principle Is the same an effort
to use money for political effect.
From my point of view therefore we
need neither rent nor clerks. The next
Is whose traveling expenses should we
pay ?
The cardinal tenet of democracy Is It
Is "of the people by the people for the
people "an essentially patriotic and vol-
untary association. If the candidates de-
sire to travel and make campaign
speeches well and good; It Is both their
privilege and their duty to do so but at
their own expense. If sny other speakers
want to travel and make apeeches It la
tl elr rlKht and privilege so to do; but
when they demand money for their serv-
ices ami traveling expenses they are no
loiiKer unselfish patriotic volunteers but
become at once hired partisans bordering
on grafting No man can be a patriotic
democrat and draw pay beyond the sal-
ary allowed by his government.
Now aa to printing and postage: The
democratic as well as nonpartisan papers
and nutKuxines will spread every item of
information the voter will need. This will
be done voluntarily and at their own ex-
pense. Hence neither postage nor print-
ing is a necessary Item of expense.
Where then Is there any necessity for
a campaign fund?
If Hryan and Kern electors csrry the
election without such fund It will be a
glorious manifestation of public patrlot-
lun. !f money Is necessary. It Is nothing
hut a republican method under a demo-
cratic banner. Hal W. Greer.

ular vote of the crowd In the court room 'fttt
8uch Idea would give the wrong Impres-
sion of a man whom Judge Grubbs prob-
ai)l y aimed to honor in his biographical
sketch.
Further the blogrspher should take tha
pains to Inform himself as to the career-r-polttlcal
or otherwise of his subject. Had
tie done so he surely would have found
that many of the so-called facts ara
rather fanciful than true. Colonel Kll-
gore was not nominated In Mlneola but
at Loo lew He waa nominated as a
dark In se because the politicians thought
it would be an easy matter to beat him
after one term and while not regarded
as a very sbrllllant man yet strong' la
common sense rugged honesty and sterl-
ing Integrity he made an enviable record
In congress. He defeated more vlcioua
legislation and thwarted more class leg-
islation and plans for jobbery than per-
haps any other man who has not spent av
lifetime In congress.
If the biographer had only taken tha
trouble to Inform himself he would have
learned that Colonel Kllgore was nom-
inated In Longvlew In 188C after the dead-
lock In the convention between Colonel
Jhn Jones of Henderson snd Juia?
Grubbs' fellow townsman. Judge Perkins.
If he will talk with the people of Green-
ville they will refresh his memory with
regard to the great contest In 1890 between
Colonel Kllgore and that redoubtable)
stump speaker. "The Black Eagle of East
Texas." Hon. R. C. De Graffenreld. and
that matchless orator. Hon. Richard B.
Hubbard and that Cplouel Kllgore tri-
umphed over such men as these and
they were of no mean order of ablllta.
Kllgore was again nominated and re
elected to congress In 1X92. and his defeat
In 1894. In the convention at Mlneola. b
Charley Yoakum was the occasion that
necessitated his recognition with Federal
appointment bv President Cleveland.
Thus you will see Colonel Kllgore did
not serve the traditional second term
merely as an indorsement as we might
Infer from Judge Grubbs biography but
he also served besides the two terms
mentioned by the biographer other two
terms or In all. from 1RS7 to 1896. Thla

THE WORK OF MONOPOLY.
It Is the Wolf Which Destroys ths
Stupid Sheep.
To the F.niTOR :
The fundamental error In which many
thinkers on economic lines become In-
volved Is attributing to capital that
which Is the work of monopoly. Monop-
oly Is the wolf that destroys the sheep
Not only capital but worse than that
the earth Itself the great reservoir nd
scurce from which all sustenance must
come. Is In the grip of monopoly. Henoo
we have just what might be expected
a social condition with a small but large-
ly favored class on one side and a much
larger class of victims dri the other side.
Those who occupy the front seats and
stage boxes are the beneficiaries of spe-
cial privileges kindly conferred upon
them by the lawmakers whom the ma-
jority of voters Select and elect. Thus
are the favored few legally endowed with
power and control the wealth production
of the country. Thlb Is why we see
progress and iioverty side by side; why
we have. In this boasted land of freedom.
Industrial kings and Industrial slaves. A
temporary Improvement in our Industrial
condition always elicits hilarious rejoic-
ings but that fact does not ward off the
recurrence of the depressing periods.
They are suro to come for t ho primary
cause still exists.
A great mistake is made In assuming
that the relations existing between capi-
tal and labor can not be harmonised.
Abolish monopoly -beginning with land
monopoly which Is the parent of the en-
tire brood and there will no longer ba
even the outward appearance of conflict
between those Important factors In
wealth production called capital and la-

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW

To thf KditOr :
I write to endorse your editorial a day
or two ago In which you Insist upon the
enforcement of the laws of the Ktate .
not only against gambling but also tha
BaBkln -McGregor law. You call attention
to the fact that In Galveston saloons ara
run wide open on Sunday though the law
requires that they be closed from Satur-
day night until Monday morning.
Sometime ago it wa stated publicly
that the chief of police In Oalveston stall-
ed that he Intended to enforce the law
requiring aaloons to close during church
hours but did not think that public sen-
timent required that the saloons be closed
sll day Sunday. It seems that police-
man's Idea was that hla business was to
(watch public sentiment and obey Its
laws. I wonder if he toot a solemn oalh
of offloe.. premising to enforce the laws
of public sentiment or did he solemnly
swear to enforce the laws of TexajT
