RESIDENCE OF L. M. DABNEY, DALLAS. JJ [ * *
(Courtesy of the Dallas News.)
This is a handsome residence and one thnt cost a goodly su:n of money to build, but look not upon the building alone for its real
beauty. Handsome as the house and grounds are it would not be as homelike or attractive were it not for the trees, shrubs, vines and flower-
ing plants. There are homes in Sherman as pretty as this one and will be many more, The advantage in this home is that the grounds are
large and there is liberal room to cultivate and beautify.

Cone Johnson is to take the stump

There are hundreds of good but-

If. the Pros don't want to be
compelled to make a campaign in
Grayson County every two years
against ^he saloon, they had better
get busy these fine days and rally
the pro forces to the importance of
statewide prohibition. Should the
fight he lost In July we will have
another county contest uext year,

The average annual property loss

it Is estimated that 50 per cent of

A CHUKHIM WH OPINION
CHAMP CLARK ON DEMOCRATIC
DUTY
The Hon. Champ Clark writes in-
terestingly in Mr. Bryan’s Common-
er on democratic duty. “Men should
say what they mean and mean what
they say," he tells us, and the same
splendid principle he would apply to
political parties. He Is pleased tc
knew that the democrats are already
carrying out, their ante-election
promises, to-wlt:
t. To revise the tariff down to
a reasonable or revenue basis.
2. To abolish Cannonlsm.
3. To BUbtnit a constitutional
amendment providing for the elec-
tion of- senators by popular vote.
4. To cut appropriations to tho
needs of the-government economi-
cally administered.
As the Speaker of the house oT rep-
resentatives Mr. Clark's views on tile
party policy are both timely and in-
teresting. National Monthly,*#
Just before his death 'CJirdlnul
Manning, the great English church-
man said; “For thirty years I have
lieen priest and bishop In !•< ndon. I
have learned some lessons and the
first is this: Tiro chief bar to the
working of the Holy Spirit of God
in the souls of men and women Is
intoxicating drink." This can scarce-
ly be regarded as the raving of a
“political preacher" or a “prohibi-
tion fanatic” says the Nashville Ten-
nesseean.
Tho expiring administration at
Washington Is good to tho lame
ducks in the official puddle. Sever-
al .senators have stopped'over to po-
sitions on the monetary
commission and congress is
now asking for a report
on that new outfit to see what it has
been doing for the past year. Sen-
ator Carter of Montana gets A place
on tlie International boundary com-
mission at ten . thousand dollars per
year and Former Representative
Tawney of Minnesota goes to tho
same commission. Then there is
the Panama exposition commission
to be created. The policy of spoils
for victors is ail right so long as
the people are not robbed to make
needless positions for the hungry of-
fice-seeker and those who have been
at the public crib nearly all their
lives.
New York City is to have a build-
ing 750 feet high and contain fifty-
five stories. It will lie the highest
building in the world, Just fifty stor-
ies higher than any we' have in this
town, but what's the use to overdo
the thing. Once a people started to
build a tower to heaven but they
quit in confusion and gave up the
job. There should lie a limit in the
desire to excel before disaster comes
and many lives are lost, for an error
in architecture and construction may
bring about op 11 apse.
This, on good roads, from the
Austin Statesman, tells the truth:
“Texas certainly needs more roods.
There are parts of the state where
schools pro stopped in I he winter be-
cause the children can not wade
through the intervening mud to at-
tend. Everyone is familiar with th*
adversities of the farmers of the
state caused by inadequate roads.
The farmers of Texas want bet,, r
roads and they are doing what they
can to construct them, hut they can
not do It ail by themselves. They
need help from the cities, and as
the cities profit proportionately by
adequate highways, it is to their
advantage to assist in their build-
ing." ■ _ "
Tho wife of Gov. Mann of Vlrgtn-
it is conducting a perfectly dry ad-
ministration. “So long as I am in
the executive mansion,” she an-
nounces, "there shall lie no intoxl-
cants. My entertainments are fully
as well enjoyed as those during for-
mer regimes when they were served.
People who visit my home will nev-
er touch tho wine cup.”

BED.
PLACE where nature finds repose,
Where man forgets both friends
and foes.
Where slumber dries the eyes that
weep
In the sweet mysteries of Bleep.
No one would change a bed of down
Or even straw for kingly crown.
Sleep doses light the gates of care.
The poor man finds his palace there.
BnconsetUusly while there It seems
We woo the deltv of dreams
And wander far while taking rest
To the "fuir Islands of tbe blest."
'TIs there the Iron of anguish yields
Ami fancy leads through flowery fields.
Its pillows those of snect content.
Forgetfulness with rest Is blent.
There lofmened are the captive’s chains.
Tho clave his freedom there regains.
And -ver since the world begun
A friend to every friendless man —
A harbor where we anchor cast,
Unfnlndful of grief's fiercest blast.
Where lost Is sense of fear and dread
In sweet unconsciousness In tic.I.
