Come to the Red River Valley Fair
at Sherman.

The editors of the Red River Valley
will be in Sherman, Friday.
That parade certainly was some pa-
rade, and showed up well for the fra
ternalists.
Here Is hoping that the mayor of
Chicago will stick- to his announce-
ment that all grafters look alike to
him, and that just because they hap-
pen to belong to tlie same club or lodge
he does will not keep them from be-
ing prosecuted to the limit. A certain
club of that city is under-going an in-
vestigation and It ha* been shown that
9200,000 ha* been collected in member-
ship dues In eighteen month*, and most
of the money has been paid In by
gambler* and sabioii keepers, wh> claim
that they were promised immunity
from prosecution. Tlie mayor, how-
ever announces that gamblers, both at
curds, betting on horse races and all
other kinds, will lie dilligently prose
ented, and that saloon men who violate
the. laws will lie prosecuted. The
Democrat repeats that it hopes he
will not lose ids nerve, but will ; ro-
eeed against all of them alike.
A Dallas county grand jury has in-
dicted three lawyers on barratry
charges—soliciting cases to defend.
Surely the world Is growing better.
Tomorrow is Home Coming Day in
Sherman, and you should look arotind
and see if any of your old-time friends
are here. They should be made to
feel that they came back home.

Clarence Gilmore of Wills Point has
announced for railroad commissioner,

Will not lose any of Its strength or

The second annual Red River Valley
Fglr at Sherman is In progress. It is
the biggest and best free fair In tlie
Southwest. Many people are here to
see It, and they are finding much to
see. Give the stranger within the
gates Of the City of Sherman a eordlal
welcome.

All of the church rallies In Sherman
lMt night were well attended, and
mAny people joined the church. The
Democrat i« always glad to' record
Items like this. Every time a man or
woman, boy or girl, takes upon them-
selves the vows of the church and
ltves up to tbein fhe Democrat knows
that not only have those who do so
the promise of eternal life, but it
means a better citizenship.

Sherman Is enjoying a period of
prosperity, thank you. Her merchants
•re getting the trade because they have
the goods and can make the prices.
They, fortunately, bought large stocks
before everything go so high, and the
remit is that they can outflgure the
merchants of most any other town or
city in this section, and the Sherman
trade territory has been very much en-
larged.
North Texas people will regret jo
learn that W. G McAlester, a state
senator from Hugo, Okla., has suffer-
ed a sttoke of paralysis and Is in a
serious condition. He Is one of the
leading Indians of Oklahoma, and had
been renominated by the democrats for
state senator. He Is well known in
’ Sherman and throughout this section,
having taken quite an acl've part. In
the good roads movement of Texas und
Oklahoma.

While enjoying prosperity in Texas
and throughout the United States, the
reports from Armenia read like the
Impossible. People over there are
starving, and in their desperate straits
are eating dead animals, locusts, kill-
ing and eating dogs, and have even
killed and eaten a man. Au expe
dltion for their relief is beng formed
In America, and If the reports lie true
the people shook! respond quickly to
the call’for help.
The Rev. R. P. Shuler, otherwise
known as “Fighting Bob’* Shuler, ha*
been pastor of the Methodist church at
the University of Texas, Austin, for
four years, and will now have to be
moved. When he was sent to Austin
there was strong opposition to him,
but he ha* llteratlly fought Ms way

Of Austin, and is one of the favorite

It has rust tlie United States gov-
ernment file million dollars to keep
tlie fifteen thousand soldiers at eauip
near San Antonio for tlie past ninety
day*. This includes tlie change from
summer to winter clothing, and of
course incmidi-s all bills growing out
of the feeding Of borne*, upkeep of
gasoline wagons and everything else.
At the same time it points .strongly to
the faet that a government kept up by
the militia is a coatiy proposition. If
this amount Is spent ou fifteen thous-
and soldiers In time of peace the cost
of war would lib enormous Indeed.
PRESIDENT VINSOVS
ADDRESS TO THE UNI-
VERSITY STUDENTS.
IHERMAR DAILY DEMOCRAT*
Following ts the greeting addressed
by Dr. Roliert Ernest Vinson, presi-
dent of the State University, to th*
students.
Dr. Vinson only a few short years
ago was a hoy in Sherman: then :i
student at Austin College. He has
made good, and his friends here nre
proud of him. He married a Sherman
girl, Miss Katie Kerr, and their
friends are legion.
The address, whieh follows, is- a
characteristic expression from an
able, earnest man, who means what
he says and says what he means:
Greetings:
It gives me great pleasure to ex-
tent to the students of all depart-
ments of the University a very cor*
dinl welcome and hearty greeting at
the opening of another session.
To those who are returning to the
scenes and duties of past years, 1 de-
sire to extend my sincere eongratuln-
tions upon the fact, (hat this renewed
opportunity has been given you.
Whether this lie due to your own ef-
forts or to the loving sacrifice 11-
your liehalf or parents or friends, It
Is yours, and I trust you nfe. deter-
mined to use It with serious purpose
To the incoming freshmen, I(,let me
say that we are particularly glad
to'see sp large a class. Your presence
here In greater numbers than ever
before* In the history of the Universi-
ty Is Indicative of the manner In
which the educational Idea Is spread-
ing 111 Texas, and furnishes Increas-
ing evidence of the need of more ade
quate provision for your instruction.
1 trust that your sense of strange-
ness will soon pass, and that you* will
feel at home among us. The way 1*
open before you; many helpers are at
hand; but, after all. college life and
the benefits of college training de-
peod more upon yourselves Ilian upon
any other factor. Make up your
minds to do your work, and, if pos-
sible, to do it well. Tlie faculty are
your friends, and, because they are,
they must hold yon true to Hie
standards which have been fixed.
Your choices of course and of com
panionships are vital elements In th.
success or failure of your present
hopes; so let both be chosen with
care.
At the beginning of my services
with the University. I desire to say-
very clearly two things: The first‘Is
that It Is my purpose to use this 01
flee, not as a foundation upon which
to build a reputation as a university
president, but as a force tn the td-
vancement of the educational attain-
ments and Ideals of the state. The
other is that the advancement of
which I speak must come largely
through you, the students of the Uni-
versity. You are our principal point
of contact with tlie people of Texas,
and the chief evidence of fhe success
or failure of our work. We may set
standards for you. hut the manner In
which you approximate those stan-
dards, Is after all. the real lest.
I covet the opportunity lo know you
jiersonally, and I trust that there may-
be many occasions upon which I may-
lie of some service to you. Let us all
work together for the liest year tn
Varsity’s history.
ROBERT E. VINSON.
NOW, BOYS, YOU HAD
BETTER COME TO THE FAIR.
Col. E. C. Hpnter of the Sherman
Democrat has officially notified each
and every editor in the Red River
Valley, country and its environs that
failure to attend the fair at Sherman
on next Friday, tile same being desig-
nated as Press day by the Red River
Valley Fair Association, will cause re-
grets that will never be overcome.
Supplementary to what Colonel Hun-
ter has to say about the matter w”
desire lo Imprest 111*111 the scoundrels
that unless they «i«i come we will cease
our Intercessions for them at the
throne of heavenly grace and just let
them go to thunder where they be
long.—-Denison Herald.

THE
TARRANT COUNTY
TION.
ELEC-
The Denjocrat sincerely hopes Hint
prohibition will carry lit Tarrant coun-
ty, and ventures tlie further hope that
tlie 1 “a id her city will then set itself
seriously to the task of ridding itself
of Hell's Half Acre, which lias I icon a
blotch on an otherwise fair city for
many years. Fort Worth is a good
market town and in many other re-
s|iects is one of the leading cities of
Texas, making it necessary for people
from all parts of the state and Okla-
homa to visit it mi business and on
pleasure, and these people have Hie
right lo demand Hint, those things
which are a menace he pul out. Civil-
ization lias outlived the necessity of
saloons and hell's half acre, and Fort
Worth should rise up in her potver and
might and decency and rid herself of
these things.- -Sherman Democrat.
Tlie Democrat expresses a truth
that many people never think of. Fort
Worth lias for years contended that it
Is none of the business of any one
outside of Fort Worth how that city
conducts Its own affairs. If It wants
saloons, It. Is no ones else affair; if
it wants ft* Hell's Half Acre, it’s no
one’s business; if it: want* gambling
halls, and confidence men, that'* its
affair. But such 1* not the truth.
Many jieople who do not live In Fort
Worth, and consequently have no voice
in its government, have interests there
aud are very much effected by what
is done there. They are euMtled to -
consideration. Their rights are a*
worthy of protection as are Hie rigid*
of any other men. Men aud women
who visit Fort Worth on business or
who go there for pleasure, are as
nun'll entitled to protection from evil
hs anybody else. A city, can not live
unto itself any more than an Individ-

Tlie speech of Dr. von Bellimann-
Hollweg before the ’Reichstag lack*
that tone of absolute confidence which
has been so prominent in his former
utterances, umt It is (minted out that
the most significant thing about his
utterances is what was omitted. Bel-
gium is not mentioned and a complete
German victory is not predicted. His
word* indicate that the most violent)
animosity exists toward Great Britain
and he evidently seeks to poison Eng-
land’s allies against her final inten-
tions, this in itself being a tacit
admission Hint there may be an ul-
timate outcome In favor of England.
While we are to lake these, speeches
in the main, for the effect they may
have on the outside world, yet they
do, in a large way, reflect the actual
conditions of the mtuda of the Ger-
man people. The recent allied suc-
cesses are having tjjeir weight In
Germany. Another depressing Influ-
ence in Germany Is the fact that the
offensive has on all fronts been taken
from Germany and her allies,—Cle-

Meat forms urie acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat-
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa-
sionally, You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains ia the back or sick headache, diz-
ziness, your atomach sours, tongue ia

often get irritated, obliging you to get

To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body’s urinous waste

spoonful in a glass of water before break-
fast for a few days and your kidneys will
