THE BAILEY ISSUE.
Col. W. L. Crawford,of Dallas,
made a speech at Waxahachie
Saturday, taking as his text
“Baileyism in Texas.” Col.Craw-
ford is a great lawyer, a man of
giant intellect, and is always in-
teresting; and while his address
was a great effort, we are of the
opinion that it will do no good
and probably much harm.
The people need a rest on the
Bailey matter. It has been agi-
tated until it has grown to be the
paramount issue in every con-
test, and real issues are forgot-
ten. True, Senator Bailey an-
nounced that he would make it
such, and his intemperate re-
marks when flushed with anger
lighted the fires of the foolish
contest, but the mistake of an
impetuous Senator should not be
allowed to work so much harm to
our state and people.
Common sense and reason
should govern our actions in pol-
itics as well as in other affairs;
the man who is moved by his
passions and prejudices in busi-
ness affairs soon goes down, and
the people who allow their right
of suffrage to be prostituted to
the low ends of upholding a po-
litical idol or punishing a political
enemy in a senseless war do not
render their country a patriotic
service.
Unless the people rise up and
crush a few grand-stand players
no issue will be heard of in any
contest next year save that of
Senator Bailey. The candidate
for Representative to the Legis-
lature will not be asked his views
on taxation or railway legislation,
but will be supported or opposed
on account of his attitude toward
Senator Bailey; yet he will have
no opportunity to vote for or
against the Senator. Congress-
men will not be elected because
of their ability and fitness; quali-
fications will be lost sight of and
men will be sent to represent us
in the national law-making body
upon the single issue, that they
are friends or enemies of Senator
Bailey. Even in district and
county contests the Bailey issue
will furnish the victor’s crown or
the ticket for a Salt river trip. It
is a time for conservative men—
men who can rise above passion
and prejudice, to speak out. The
state needs water throwers, not
fuel adders, and the man who
attempts to perpetuate'the sense-
less war, whether in favor of or
against Senator Bailey, should
be given the cold-shoulder and
allowed to speak to empty
benches. And the candidate who
seeks to be pulled into office by
holding on to Senator Bailey’s
coat-tails, or to win the people’s
support by cussing Bailey,should
be buried under a mountain of
ballots.
In another column is an article
from the Paris News, telling of
the resignation of several school
trustees in Lamar county. The
new laws promulgated by the
State Health Officer require that
school houses be swept with saw-
dust and disinfected with formal-
dehyde each day and that each
pupil be provided with a separate
drinking cup. For failure to com-
ply with these laws a penalty of
$50 is provided for teacher and
trustee, and a few trustees have
resigned because they cannot
be present to see that the regu-
lations are carried out. This
would be the wise course if there
were the slightest prospects for
the enforcement of the law, but
every knows the law cannot be
enforced, and nobody will pay
any attention to it. To carry out
the provisions of the law would
bankrupt every school and every
church in the country, and the
people will not stand for it.
The boll weevils have at last
crossed the Mississippi river and
established themselves in South-
west Mississippi. They are not
numerous enough east of the fath-
er of waters to do much damage
to the cotton this year year, but
the government entomologists
say they will make heavy inroads
in the lowland crop next year,
and eventually spread over the
entire cotton belt of the old states.
For years the hope has been en-
tertained that the march of the
pests would be stopped when the
great river was reached.
From Austin comes the news
that the Attorney General will
tackle the lumber trust next.
The lumber barons deny that
there is any such thing as a lum-
ber trust, but lumber prices ar-
gue strongly to the contrary. ’ If
there is a lumber trust the Signal
believes that Mr. Davidson will
find it, and when he finds it there
will be something doing. No man
has ever accused the Attorney
General of laziness.
Grayson county’s prohibition
election will be pulled off next
Thursday. Each side is conduct-
ing a vigorous campaign.
Officers raided a cold drink
joint in Wolfe City Monday and
captured 670 bottles of beer. A
fine well of mineral water was re-
cently discovered at Wolfe, but
the recent seizure indicates that
the well is not receiving the pat-
ronage a home enterprise de-
serves.
ry will be upheld by alMaw-abid
ing people. A club-room saloon
has no more right to exist than
any other saloon.
An alligator was captured in
Red River county last week only
a few miles from Clarksville’s
Carnegie library. Thus encour-
aged Clarksville people are now
cutting the weeds and exploring
the creeks with the hope of add-
ing a bear and a hippopotamus to
their nucleus for a menagerie.
At its recent session the Fan-
nin county grand jury returned
more indictments for felonies
than for misdemeanors. Fannin
people don’t go much on crime,
but when they do engage in such
diversion they believe in making
a show^ A misdemeanor infrac-
tion of the law is too small a mat-
ter to engage their attention.
An evangelist known as “a
converted policeman” is con-
ducting a revival meeting in Bon-
ham. There’s lots of work for
the police, converted and uncon-
verted, in the sleepy old town on
the Bois d’arc. We adyise the
evangelist not to lay aside his
billy, however. The Bible is all
right for hard hearts, but the
billy is powerful when dealing
with hard heads.
If the Times had an extra bale
of Red River county “long stee-
ple” it would sell the bloomin’
thing and build a good town at
Honey Grove.—Clarksville Times.
Rather large ideas for a Clarks-
ville man, don’t you think?
What’s the need of putting all of
a hundred dollars in one town
when you could build three like
Clarksville, and have enough left
to build a mile of sidewalk like
Clarksville’s?
A man from the country called
at the county attorney’s office
yesterday to know if he would be
allowed to peddle beef under the
anti-pass law.—Paris News.
The Signal is a little rusty on
law, but gives as its opinion that
peddling meat is not a violation
of the anti-pass law, provided
the peddler does not trade any of
his meat to a newspaper man for
printing. _
From Austin comes the news
that all the amendments to the
state constitution, voted on last
July, were defeated. Following
the election the statement was
made that the amendment pro-
viding a home for the widows of
ex* Confederates was adopted,but
the statement is now made that
this one was defeated along with
the other five. The official re
turns of the election have not yet
been given out.
The doctors will not agree, and
the people continue to die. In
Tuesday’s daily papers one noted
medical man proved by figures
that meat diet is responsible for
cancer, and showed that those
who leave off flesh food will nev
er be attacked by the horrible
disease. In the same papers two
other eminent physicians, who
have made a life study of the
malady, showed that meat diet is
a preventive and that only vege
tarians are attacked by cancer.
We have never studied the ques
tion a minute and yet we have
sufficient evidence to prove each
of the medical men a liar. We
have known several victims of
cancer and they ate both meat
and vegetables.
Honey Groye has streets lights
again. We see no need of such
expenditure, as one lantern would
light the town.—Bonham News.
One lantern would light the
town according to Bonham’s def-
inition of lighting, but Honey
Grove doesn’t measure light by
lightning-bug power. In the
village on the Bois d’arc an ounce
of fox-fire, or three lightning
bugs, to a street is sufficient.
Judge not a city by village am
bitions. _
The Secretary of State an-
nounces that no more Clubs will
be chartered in Texas unless the
application is accompanied by
affidavits that the sale of intoxi-
cating liquors will not be permit-
ted by the organization. Here-
tofore many social clubs have
obtained charters and virtually
set up saloons within their build-
ings. In this ruling the Secreta-

Judge V. W. Grubbs, of Green-
ville, came nobly to the aid of the
Bonham News in its discussion of
compulsory education with the
Signal. T^his paper is not a quit-
ter, generally speaking, and it
is dead set against the state tak-
ing charge of the homes of this
country, but if the News thinks
we are going to measure wind
with such a combination as Ev-
ans & Grubbs it is mistaken.
Evans is inclined to be wordy
himself,* and Judge Grubbs is
never so happy as when agitating
the air with a three-hour speech
or putting newspaper space to
sleep with his Faber. We are
perfectly willing to discuss the
question, but we can not take
upon ourself the burden of read-
ing all that Evans & Grubbs can
write.
Mr. Theodore H. Price, a New
York speculator who for years
has been first on one side of the
market and then on the other
presents an array of figures to
show that the estimated supply of
cotton that will be on hand a
year from this date will amount
to 6,821,102 bales, the largest
supply on record, and practically
forty per cent of the world’s an-
nual consumption. Mr. Price
says that he will not be surprised
to see cotton sell as low at 8c or
lower before the season is over.
He asks those who think he is
wrong to preserve his figures for
reference at a later date, claim-
ing that time will prove the cor-
rectness of his position. Mr.
Price predicted a calamity as
dire as this several years ago,
but it failed to show up, hence
we refuse to believe any of his
scary tales. Eight-cent cotton
this year is a “brain-born dream
of evil all his own.”—Ex.

Breaks Chain by Chest Expansion.
R, J. Timmcns gave an exhi-
bition of chest power yesterday
afternoon to a small audience.
W. H. O’Bierne was showing
some new chains which his com-
pany had received to be used in
hanging fixtures, and Mr. Tim-
mons remarked that they were not
strong enough, saying • that he
could break one by chest expan-
sion.
They were one-sixteenth chains
and Mr. O’Beirne had to be
“showed.” The big cotton buyer
proeeeded to encircle bus chest
with one of the chains, then took
a deep breath and expanded his
chest. The chain broke, but the
break did not reflect upon the
strength of the chain. The chain-
breaker went to Ardmore this
morning and his brother says he
thinks he has gone up there to
break a bank.—Gainesville Mes-
senger.
