" H. V. Davidson . said in a speech at San
Angelo Wednesday that every man who la
against submission is a republican. With
taped! emphasis all of the newspapers r-
pcat' ha said: "If there ia any one here
against anbmiaslon let them get out of the
democratic party and get into the republican
patty where they belong and 1 will give
them cheering word when they leave." And
SO all of ua who oppose submission are
branded as republicans and party traitors!
. Da videos' campaign managers have been
claiming that many anti-prohibitionists in
Sooth Tezaa are supporting him. What will
they think of this ukase of the mighty war-
vfatf hum narvMlon? Will thev ret out of

HominatioB a strong Indorsement of him for
tha naldenrv will aerve to ntlrart universal
attention to bis availability for the nomina-
tion two years hence. There ia little doubt
of the governor's re-election. Having car

year when the republican candidate for presi-

fled his popularity by giving the State one
of the most successful administrations of its
history.'
. . It is a noteworthy fact that no republican
leader has attacked the Harmon administra
tion. Every republican newspaper of tne
State hail declared It to be completely satis-
factory and conspicuous for Its rigorous re-
form policies. Not one word can be uttered
. against the man's public or private life and
he stands before the country as a great dem-
ocrat worthy of any honor within the gift of
tha people.
Under these circumstances. Governor Har-
mon's re-election would be practically cer-
tain even if there were not grave republican
quarrels to perplex his opponent. But It hap-

While democrats are not committed to the

yet disposed to give credit to whom credit

are effervescing over Mr. Roosevelt who were
glad that he had to walk out of the White

mind them that in 'the matter of achieve-
ment Mr. Taft Is head and shoulders above

This much in behalf of "the square deal."
THE POSTAL SAVrKOS BAJTK BILL.
The postal savings bank bill will soon be-
come a law and the country in due time
will have an opportunity to Judge the need
of such an addition to our financial system.
While it is impossible to state in the ab-
sence of the full text of the measure Just
what the country may expect In the way of
benefits we take it that it will amount to
little save In the guaranty that is arroraea
depositors and this guaranty would not seem
to be of much consequence while normal.
aV
conditions prevail. As the government win
pay but 2 per cent upon deposits as again Bt
3 per cent and 4 per cent paid by the banks
i'. will be seen that the depesltora them-
selves will pay a pretty high rate for the
guaranty.
Where the postal banks are patronized
we speak particularly of Texas the favored
banks will get these deposits from the gov-
ernment for 2 1-3 per cent where now they
pay the depositors from 3 to 4.
We observe that Senator Bristow asserted
that "the bill creates a pipe line to the spe-
culative centers of money from all over the
country" while Senator Simmons predicted
that before the end of the next campaign
the bill would be the most unpopular law
ever enacted by the republican party.
Experience will of course have to de-
termine the utility of the bill but it really
appears to be a measure totally unadapted
to our financial system and to the general
commercial and industrial conditions of the
country. It will not do to cite the success
of the system in Great Britain a compact
kingdom less than half the area of Texas.
It is conceivable that if money were drained
by the system from any section of Eng-
land provision might be made for its In-
stantaneous return but that Is impossible
In the United States.
If the system should during a speculative
panie in New York drain the money from
the vast productive regions of the country
it might seriously disturb business and ln-
dustry for the money would not come backet
when needed. And we are told that the con
trol of the deposits is left absolutely with the
three trustees the secretary of the treasury
the postmaster general and the attorney gen-
eral. If Improper Influences should control
them and it la said even cabinet officers are
susceptible to such Influences the material
Interests of the country might be made to
suffer in order to save the gamblers of the
New York exchanges.
If the operations of the law should prove
beneficial and not in any respect disastrous
the people will not complain but we be
lieve there is ground for the fear that the
ell
01
postal banking system is not going to prov
successful In this country and that it 1s
going to bestow advantages upon people who
too frequently prey upon the resources of
the people.
THE nCKLTJffrj STAGE OF THE CAM-
PAIGN. The old game of "You tickle me and 111
tickle you" seems to be on In earnest' be-
tween Polndexter and Johnson while John-
son's adherents and Davidson's anti-Bailey
supporters are reported to be actively en-
gaged In trying to ascertain If the latter can
be safely landed in the Johnson band wagon
In the expected event of Davidson's with-
drawal from the race before the primaries
are held.

the game with great boldness showing more
than usual effusiveness In heaping compli-
ments upon Davidson whom he recom-
mended as a "real antl-prohlbitlonlst on prin-
ciple." Thia in the face of the following
analysis of Mr. Davidson's "antl-prohibltlon-from-prlnclple"
position In the present cam-
paign as contained In a recent address by
leading German-Americans who are sup-
posed to know a true anti-prohibitlonlst
from a fake one like Davidson: "Mr. David-
son's oft repeated entreaty- to his auditors
in North Texas that they give their vote to
Polndexter or Johnson if unwilling Co vote
for him but under no circumstances to vote
for Colquitt leads to tha conclusion that- hd
la interested far more )n his election for
governor than In preventing the introduction
of prohibition in Texas. Bvery Vote cast In
the primaries of July 23 for Davidson In-
stead of Colquitt can only help to secure the
victory of a pronounced prohibitionist." And
we dare say this view Is coincided in by
every sound' thinking antl-probiblilonist in
Texas. ' (
' Now witness Davidson's play In the game
of "tickle" at Coleman on the same day:
"In speaking of his opponents he said if con-
sistency is a Jewel be and Polndexter were
the only two candidates for governor en-
titled to be adorned because Polndexter has
always been a consistent prohibitionist and
he (Davidson) bad always been an anU"
It.'niay-bo that there Is Substantial tj ila

meditating a withdrawal from the race in

that he Is invthe "Uckle". game With Potar
dexter with the. Tjew of diverting attention
until the terms cap be arranged. But if so
It Is evident that Polndexter la not playnf

least break evea with Johnson" In tha matter
of " getttag Davidson's folldwihg. j- .4
. Be-that as It may the brew that the threes-Davidson

concocting' Is a horrible mesa to expect dem

Which is all very true in spite of the disposi-

lot of the $400000000 annually expended in the

that Texas cities are becoming metropolitan in
th aught and aspiration atwell as in size and pre
tention. The suburban train has long been a fea-

.And another opportunity to prove hit gratitude
for small favors received was presented the presi-
dent by the senate in the adoption by that body
of the commerce "court clause of the railroad bill.
The commerce court may not prove to be of any
gtrat practical utility to the shippers of the coun-
try but it has at least one controlling virtue to

of hie ability that a year or two. before the preai-
dential comtntions of 18S0 I had come to hold
the opinion that General' Garfield was in .many
respects he j most available candidate . from the
West for -the republicans to nominate . for tha
presidency. Of course later on at the delegate
from my own State to the republican convention:.
I wat bound to support the nomination of Qen-
eral Grant But I had a lurking feeling that if
wt could not nominate Grant Garfield would be
our mad. .
"It to happened that both General Garfield
and I planned independently to go from Washing-
ton to Chicago to attend the convention by the
tame train. Garfield was chairman of the Ohio
delegation which had been Instructed to support
the nomination of John Sherman. We were great-'
lji pleased when we discovered that we were to
take the same train. .
"We both were in the house" of representatives
the morning of the day we were to leave for
Chicago. Rather late in the afternoon Garfield
turned to me and said : 'Starin it is time for us
to start. . My gripsack is in the cloak room and
I suppose yours is also. Let's go together from
the capitol to the railway station and we'll keep
company all the way to Chicago.'
"As I was taking my hat and my gripsack from
the attendant in the cloak room I heard someone
say to Garfield 1 do not now remember who it
was except that it was a democrat: 'Garfield
who are you going to nominate for president at
the convention? You don't expect to nominate
Sherman do you? And we democrats figure
that Blaine andGrant will neutralize each other's
votes.'
" In reply Garfield said : 'I am to nominate
Sherman in behalf of the State of Ohio. Of
course we all hope that he will he nominated
by the "Convention.'
" Rut who are you going to nominate Gar-
field?' persisted the democrat.
" I . remember perfectly how Garfield looked
when 'that question was repeated to him. He
turned half around there wai a cordial smile
upon his face one that was characteristic of
him and then he said: 'I don't know. It's very
likely to be someone not now named. It is just
at likely to be myself as anybody else.'
" I was mightily impressed by that reply. It
confirmed my own impression that Garfield might
be our candidate ; I had already said to one or
two friends 'We can't nominate Grant Blaine
can not be nominated and in my opinion Garfield
will be the man.' And I am satisfied tjiat at the
time Garfield left Washington for Chicago inr my
company be had reasoned the situation out exact-
ly as I had done."

We take great pleasure in informing The Hous-
ton Post that the atmospheric conditions in Joy-
ful Johnstown at last rival those in Heavenly
Houston. Johnstown Democrat.
Says The Houston Post "We do not like to
associate with St. Louis." We hardly see how
Houston is in any danger of being pinched for
association at that distance. Cleveland Leader.
Roosevelt is planning a visit to Texas. We
trust he will keep away from Horrible HooM'n

The Houston Post boasts that the ice cream
cones in Houston are the biggest on earth. There
are no lengths to which Texnns will not go in
order to attract the young folks to that State.

. "Down in Hopeless Houston where aside from
an occasional tornado or a destructive hailstorm
they have nothing but fine monotonous kind of
weather we suppose Colonel Bailey in the envy
of his depraved democratic soul is getting ready
to jeer and jibe at our exclusive and joy-compelling
forecast of unsettled weather in N'ew Eng-
land fot the next forty-eight years. Springfield

A Populist Judge.
(From the Dallas Times Herald.)
"Associate Justice Charles II. Jenkins has
given our home rule friends the ones who have
abandoned the individual to the tender mercy of
the local majority something to chew on" ac-
cording to the Waco Times-Herald. Associate
Justice Jenkins declared in a recent decision
that home rule was a dream. Well what then?
Charles H. Jenkins is no democrat. He wts
elevated to the judicial bench by Thomas M.
Campbell governor of Texas. Charles H. Jen-
kins (and mark you he is a gentleman of high
personal integrity) isn't a democrat. He stands
for the law and fanaticism not the law and
liberty..
He is an ardent prohibitionist as ultra and in-
tolerant as the Neal Dowites were in Maine fifty
years Bgo. For ten years Charlet H. Jenkins
was a pillar of the people' party.
" H indorsed the Ocala demands. He wat for
government ownership of railroads telegraph and
telephone lines ; he Vas for the sub-treasury and
the destruction of the present financial system ;
he was opposed to every demand of the demo-
cratic party and from every ttump proclaimed it
the tool of Wall Street and rotten to the core.
One day the people's party died Mr. Jenkins re-
turned to the democratic sheep fold hit follow-
ers elected him to the legislature at a democrat
and Tbomtt M. Campbell made him a justice of
- the court ' of civil appeals. Of course be ' op-
posed to the Jeftertonian principle of home rule.

Karl Marx and it jutt the' reverse of a -home-ruler.
