WILL STAY IN THE FIGHT
Extract from Col T M Camp
bells speech at Elderville Texas
Whether in official station or
private life I intend to resist the
efforts of corporate power to fur-
ther dominate our purty and our
legislation and I propose to staj
in the fight until the people of
this great state who furnish the
taxes to support the government
and who ask nothing in return
but just laws andgood govern-
ment are fully restored to
power
SIDED INTEN
Colliers for September 17 com-
pares Roosevelts behavior toward
tho prejudices of the south to the
polioics of Lincoln and McKinley
as follows
Although it is a course of ex-
aggeration to trace any one act
of violence whether by negroes
or avenging mobs to Roosevelt
it is the dreadful truth that his
behavior has increased the de-
pravity of the negroes and the
unreason of the whites In a sit-
uation requiring tact and patience
virtues brought to this task by
Lincoln and McKinley Mr
Roosevelt has used that narrow
onesided intensity with which
presidents and their advisers have
tiuracd tho south from Andrew
1 ickson to Henry Cabot Lodge
One of Mr Roosevelts virtues
iiowever is his ability to learn
lie spoke useful words recently

PALESTINE TEXAS SEPTEMBER 20 1904
INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED
An investigation should be or
dered by the legislature of report-
ed violations of the Terrell law by
public service corporations
Section 137 of the Terrell elec-
tion law provides that any corr
poration or officer thereof who
directly or indirectly furnishes
loans or gives away money or
thing of value to aid those who
manage what has been known in
Texas as political headquarters
of candidates or to any campaign
manager or to any particular can-
didate or person to promote the
success of such candidate for pub-
lic office shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor and if a corporation
if the act was done with the ap
proval or connivance of its presi-
dent financial agent or treasurer
forfeits its charter It has been
charged on reputable authority
that certain railroad corporations
contributed materially to the late
campaign for democratic nomina-
tions in this state in plain and
defiant violation of this law It
puts the booster at the polls out of
business but according to this
charge the far more potent rail-
road booster with a pocketful of
passes is not disturbed by the
law The most important ends of
the Terrell law will fail of attain-
ment if the railroads are enabled
by the use of passes to hold the
balance of power in contests for
partynominations There is suf-
ficient ground upon which to base
an investigation of this subject by
the next legislature and it should
be made If it should be found
to be true that any railroad used
prohibited methods to influence
the choice of any candidate be-
fore the primaries the law should
be rigidly tracked and proceed-
ings promptly instituted to forfeit
its charter The Lantern

is reelected he will during his
second term be a better presi-

Dont beg in 3our advertise-
ment If there is one thing above
another that people despise it is a
beggar Write your ads in such
a way as to leave the impression
that it is as much to jour custo

your interest to sell Printers

It is not much to borrow your
neighbors paper one day but
when it becomes an every day
habit the neighbor is liable to get
tired of it and wonder why you
dont pay your 10 cents a week
andget the paper regularly The
Herald at 10 cents a week is the
cheapest luxury in town and no
family should be without it A
paper like the Hekald should
easily have 2000 subscribers in
Palestine and we want them We
want 1500 or 500 more than we
have now by January 1st Isnt
such a paper a good ad for the
town Man people say so
Swindling and Newspaper
Advertising is thu caption of an
article in the August number of
the Atlantic Monthly in which
the writer severely arraigns vari-
ous newspaper proprietor and
business managers for accepting
and publishing advertisements of
get rich quick concerns when he
says they knew or criminally neg-
lected easy means of knowing that
these ads were but the announce-
ments of gigantic swindles Spe-
cific instances by veiled refer-
ence are mentioned in which the
public was robbed by oil well
stock promoters and the writer
winds up with a tribute to a Bos-
ton daily which he says was the
only one to refuse the ads of one
of the biggest oil stock swindles

The City and Former Official In a-
Tilt Who Is In the Wrong
That littlo tilt between Robert Q
Brasbears excity attomoy and tbe
city conncil has reached an acute
stage and yesterday friends of Mr
Brasbears met tbe mayor and tbe al-
dermen in an attempt to compromise
tbe matter and stop tbe controversy
It will bo remombored tbat Mr
Brasbears some months ago brought
snit in the lower court for fees be
claimed the city owed him Tbe city
won tho suit in the trial court and Mr
Brasbears appealed tbe case to tbe
court of civil appeals where it is now
pending
Tho Herald is informed Mr Brasb
ears has never boon checked out by
tho city and that tbat gentleman ad-
mits ho has certain monies of the city
which ho Is ready to turn over under
certain conditions and tbat ho has
only been actuated by right motives
in withholding same
At a meeting yesterday It is
reported that it was suggested that all
controversy be dropped and all action
stopped provided Mr Brashears
squares bis account with tho city and
withdraws his suit now pending and
that Brashears attorney refused to
withdraw tbe suit
Another strange feature of this con-
troversy is that the citys represete
tives were not fully prepared to say
how much Brashears owed tbe city
Mr Brashears says he has tho mon
oy and is ready to settle but at tbe
sametimo wants his just dues
Under tho circumstances tho Herald
does not beliove the city can or will
sustain criminal charges against Bra
shears as that gentloman claims tho
settlement has only been held in abey-
ance ponding a decision of Brashears
suit against tho city
The idea prevalent that Brasbears is
dodging and out of tho city is errone
about to be taken be promptly return-
ed to face tbe charges and to scrap it
out with the city council if a satisfac-
tory compromise could not bo alTected
In the meantime tho public is await
ing the final outcomo
Mr Brashears has hundereds of stal
wart friends who are siding with him
in this fight and who believe him In
tbe right
SOME DAY
Someday So many tearful eyes
Are watching for thy dawning light
So many faces toward tbe skies
Are weary of the nightl
So many falling prayors tbat reol
And stagger upward through tho
storm
And yearning bands that reach and
feel
No pressure true and warm
So many hearts whoso crimson wino
Is washed to a purple stain
And blurred and stroakod with drops
of brine
Upon tho lips of Pain
Ob come to them these wearyonesl
Or if thou still must bide a while
Make stronger yet tho hope tbat runs
Before thy coming smile
And haste and find them wbero they
wait
Lot summerwinds blow down that
way
And all they long for soon or late
Bring round to them Someday

Minnesota Merchant Says Adver-
tising is Necessary to Success
Nowspapor advertisings the first
requisite for mercantile success
Tbat in brief is the opinion of John
Gateiy who is at tho head of the
Gately Supply company of Dulntb
Minn and of nearly fifty other retail
stores located in some of the best busi-
ness towns in Michigan Illinois and
Minnesota
While visiting his store at Isbpem
Ing recently Mr Qately was inter-
viewed at length by tho Peninsula
Record and he not only declared him-
self unqualifiedly in favor of advertis-
ing but expressed a decided prefer-
ence for tho columns of the nowspapor
Among other things ho said
Judicious advertising is as essential
to business success as a postagp stamp
is to tho letter one drops in a post
ofllce Some people plod along with
business and fail to nse tho newspaper
columns to tell tbe people what they
have to sell or about tbe bargains tbey
havo to offer These people can never
bo called successful business men in
any community
Thoro is advertising and advertis-
ing and above all other advertising
comes tbat which is read in the news-
paper White one cannot always tell
what certain advertisement produces
the most results at a given time there
is a positive certainty concerning tbe
steady advertising in tho newspaper
Ono must advertise to get business
Reflections
If women dont liko on of tbeirown
number they are very Buspicious that
tho men will
A woman says another Is affected
when she wears clothes tbat there
seems to bo a reason for
A man is hardly ever rich enough
not to groan that his taxes aro driving
him to tho poor house
A girl has to bo mighty pretty to be
able to feel indifference about the
clothes some othor girl has
No matter bow bluo a man Is over
his business his wifo knows it will all
bo right when tbe babys now tooth
comes through
Either a man growls because If be
sleeps late on bis holiday there is so
littlo of it left or if he gets up early
thoro is no chance to get rested up
