been District Judge than Judge
Alexander as County Judge of
Parker county. Wude Judge Al-
exander is discoursing o.o
Pattersou’s reveraa’s why does In-
not state, or give the people some
idea how his own record in Par-
ker stands. He has the facts. If
he had been so blooming, bright
and clear, with only a reversal
now and then, an electric dynamo
of 50,000 voltage could not have
kept him from speaking about it.
Now Judge be fair. Tell the peo-
ple how many times you have
teen revereed in your two terms
as County Judge of Parker coun-
ty. How many times were you
reversed in the local option
cases? Did not the Court of Crim-
inal Appeals say you erred in
not selecting juries according to
the requirements of the statute?
Has Judge Patterson ever been
reversed for not following a plain
statutory requirement?
Now as to the Freeman case :
We understand that some of the
voters of this county who are op-
posed to Judge Patterson are
seeking to make capital out of the
fact of the reversal of the Freeman
case. If such persons will examine
the records of the District Court
of Jack County, I think they will
find that more than two thirds of
of the State cases appealed from
the district Court of Jack County,
since Judge Patterson has been
on the bench, have affirmed. The
following murder cases have been
appealed and affirmed, to-wi'; The
John Jackson case, the James
Jackson case, and the John Dill
case; and only the Freeman mur-
der case has been reversed. The
last reversal of the Freeman case,
we are informed, was on account
of the charge given on manslaugh-
ter. The charge, given on this
point was the same on the second
trial that was given on the first
trial; and on the first appeal^there
was no fault found to this charge,
which fact, it appears would justi-
fy any trial judge in giving such
charge on a second trial. It ap-
pears to be bat fair to Judge.P«t
terson that he should be judged
by his entire record not simply
by a part of the same. It might
be well for some of those who are
criticising Judge Patterson on
acconnt of tbe reversal of these
cases to explain bow things would
be improved by electing Judge
Alexander, who is practically
without experience in criminal
law; for it is a fact that will not
be denied by Judge Alexander, or
any of his Mends that are inform
ed on the enbject, that he has not,
daring the nine years that he has
lived and practised law in this
43rd District, appeared ia pros-
ecution or defense of a single state
case in any of the district courts
of said district.

and on horseback, which contiu
ued until there were from 1,500
to 3,000 people on the grounds.

Tbe readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Gnre is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon tbe blood ant
mucous surfaces of the system
thereby destroying the founda-
tion of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by .building up
the constitution and assisting na-
ture in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so mnch faith in its
curative powers that they offer

At 11 a. m. the exercises were
opened by D. M. Denison, master
ceremonies, with music by
choir, Miss Effie Sikes organist.
The subject of the addresses
of the day was “ Education and
Woodcraft.”
John P. Simpson was the first
speaker called, and he made one
of his happiest efforts, his ad-
dress was kept close to the sub-
ject, and appreciated by all. Mr.
Simpson states what he has to
say in a plaiD, practical way that
appeals to the public generally,
and which is worthy of attention.
Robt. E. Underwood was the
next speaker. Mr. Underwood
was at his old home, where every
one knew him and was proud of
the man who grew np in their
town. He is a fine speaker, and
one of the few men who can al-
ways say the right thing at the
right time and place. Gibtown
may well feel proud of him.
Little Miss Lewis next recited
in a pleasing manner an appropri
ate selection,
Then followed Frank Groner
who spoke for about fifty min-
utes, and held bis audience in
rapt attention from the opening
to the closing sentence. His de-
scription of his first school boy
speech at Gibtown set the crowd
wild with enthusiasm. The ha
mor and eloquence of his remarks
in reference to the ladies were of
a high order, and in their tender-
ness and beauty were worthy of a
Bob Taylpr. The latter half of
his speech was devoted to Wood-
craft, and from start to close was
a gem of rhetoric reinforced by
excellent delivery. Mr. Groner
scored a signal success iu a
speech which would have done
honor to any occasion. In fact
the three young men, Messrs.
Groner, Underwood and Simpson
of Jacksboro are a credit to their
towD, and their friends feel that
they will make for themselves
honored positions.
At the close of Mr. Gronei’s
speech dinner was spread and
that was in keeping with the rep-
utation those people have for
their generous hospitality.
The afternoon was given over
to the candidates to announce
themselves for the various offices
for which they are running, be-
ginning with county judge. Then
a recitation was given by little
Esther Marshall. After which
Hods. G. F. Daugherty, John H

ate speeches.

The day was a most enjoyable
one, and the picnic one of the
most pleasant imaginable.
This is one of the finest commu-
n ties in Jack county in many
ways, and there is no reason why
ihey should not have a direct
mail route from Jacksboro. They
owe it to themselves and to the
young people of their communi-
ty that they be placed on a more
progressive line in rpgard to their
mail service, and they should not
stop until they Becure tbe route.
They should not allow themselves
defeated by any individual who
might be interested iu some spe-
cial way or route, but go to work
in eseaest for a new, direct route.
If Jacksboro people could do
anj thing they certainly would do
so, but Gibtown people will have
to first unite on what they want
end then others can help them.
This commnnify is too generous,
liberal, and well-to-do to remain
as it is for a very long time. A
community without good mail
facilities is too heavily handicap-
thes8 days, to compete
with those which
have them.
The road to Gibtown is a
fairly good one except close to
Jacksboro. A bridge is needed
across Carrolls ^Creek, and the
road for about six miles out of
town needs grading up.
The farmers of the Gibtown
country should coma to the com
missioners, court with a good
strong petition for improvement
of the road, and the Jacksboro
Board of Trade will glvp all pos-
sible assistance. People only get
what they ask for. The Govern-
ment does nqt thrust mail routes
on communities which do not want
them, neither are commissioners
apt to improve roads except where
there is good strong demand for
them, therefore let Gibtown come
up with her petition, and Jacks-
boro will join her in working for
anything that will benefit so many
people.
This is a beautiful and rich sec-
tion of the connty, the corn and
cotton crops being the finest we
have seen anywhere for years.

It gives in a great, pleasure to
recommend Baylor University to
any one expecting to enter a uni-
versity next session. It is dis-
tinctively an institution for Chris-
tian education, and has long been
committed to co-edncation. Stu-
dents of both sexes meet togeth-

They have, however, separate
grounds for exercise, and board

The number of students enrolj
ed during 1903 4 was 953.
The faculty consisted of 75 of
the best trained teachers.
Courses of study allow large
margin for electives leading to
the degrees of A. B., B. S., Ph. B,
B. L , Th. B , Mas. B, and corres-
ponding master degrees.
The University is situated at
Waco, rear the center of the pop-
ulation of the State. The city is
located in the heart of a fertile
territory, has a population of about
thirty thousand, and has now elev-
en important outlets by rail.
On acconnt of its central posi-
tion, its supply of pure artesian
water, its social, educational, and
religious advantages, the location
of tho University is believed to
be unsurpassed in the State. The
campus on which the main build-
ings and the young ladies? dormi-
tory are situated, contains twen
ty-foar acr es of land, affording am-
ple gro unds for buildings, and
for all sorts of physical recrea-
tion and athletic sports. The
University owns, near the center
of the city, another campus con-
taining two acres, on which are
situated the dormitories for young
men. The University also has
seven buildings iu Waco.
The main building, a three-sto-

governor of Michigan and four times
mayor of Detroit, was the plague of the
politicians of Ills state, who denounced
him as all sorts of a demagogue,
mountebank and fraud. But the plain
people, whom Abraham Lincoln loved
so well, saw In Pingree a friend, and
they stuck to him to the last. Political-
ly he was a good deal of a bull in the
china shop and broke up much flue
crockery, but the plain people loved
him all the more. He devised the
scheme whereby the poor were enabled
to have gardens of their own on va-
cant lots in Detroit held for a rise in
price through the^nergy, industry and
enterprise of the adjoining landown-
ers. For this remarkable achievement
this remarkable man was dubbed “Po-
tato” Pingree in derision, and lie was
a butt for all tbe wits in the country.
Perhaps there were a dozen big bore
statesmen in Michigan, contemporaries
of Pingree, who deemed themselves
more worthy of a bronze statue than
he and, who would have split their
sides with laughter bad any one sug-
gested that the erratic mayor and gov-
ernor would receive such a posthu-

the state for legislative purposes under
which the Democrats would ■ have to
hare a majority of something like 50,-,
000 in the state in order to control the
legislature. .Now comes the supreme
court of Indiana and knocks out the
gerrymander on grounds of unconsti-
tutionality and declares that the legis-
lature must be elected under the ap-
portionment law of 1807, which, though
also passed by a Republican legisla-
ture, Is not so unfair as the one just
knocked out. The supreme eburt deci-
sion is hailed with delight by Hoosier
Democrats, as it gives them t first rate
chance to send a Democrat to the-Unit-
ed States senate In place of Senator
Beveridge.
It Is whispered now that Hon. Ben-
jamin B. Odeil, governor of New York
and also chairman of the Republican
state committee, hankers after a third
term in the gubernatorial office. Ben-
jamin seems to be rather greedy. Like
Oliver Twist, he cries for more. The
Democrats in Ills bailiwick should do
all they can to heip^him secure his
third nomination, for with him at tbe
head of the Republican ticket they
ouglft to be able to land the state in
the Democratic column easily and by
>verwhelming majority. If Odell
is nominated. Senator Platt would mewl
probably knife him with great en-
thusiasm. Lord Byron had a great
head and knew what he was talking
about when he said, “Sweet k> re-
venge!”
My brilliant friend, Senator Jonathan

should be broadened in its scope so as
to read, “Concerning neither the living

It 1* high, time for RepafiTlean spell-
binders to revise their speeches as to
Republican harmony and Democratic
dissensions. Iu a very old book we are
admonished to remove the beam from
our own eye before we undertake to
perform a surgical operation on our
neighbor’s optic to remove a mote.
That admonition is peculiarly applica-
ble to Republicans. The Republican
split in Wisconsin and the stubborn
deadlock in Illinois have passed into
history. For something like a year now
the Republican factions have been at
each other's throat in West Virginia.
The revolver, the shotgun, the rifle, tho
knife and the bludgeon have been fa-
vorite campaign arguments among the
aging theory to tbe effect that the
trusts will kill themselves if Pet alone,
or if given rope enough will hang them-
selves. That is a great head ilece that
Dolliver carries around, and it may be
added with perfect truth that tt is a
handsome headpiece.

State. The Washington Post, independ-
ent, but with strong Republican lean-
ings, thus sums up the situation;
“West Virginia Is giving tbe Republic-
ans much uneasiness. If the factions
were at peace there would be no sense
In discussing prospects of a Demo-
cratic majority there. But the factions
ure not at peace, and their troubles aro
deep rooted. Unless some compromise
Is reached there is danger that tbe
state, with its seven electoral votes, will
be lost to Roosevelt. The Republican
leaders are apprehensive of a bolt
when the state convention meets at
Wheeling July 12. That would be al-
most as disastrous to tlie party as the
bolt in Wisconsin promises to be. It
would' assure the election of a Demo-
cratic governor and put the state tn
dohbt on the presidential ticket.

The vigorous and vicious way In
which Governor Yates of Illinois !»
swinging the headsman’s ax must
cause strange thoughts to chase each
other through the mind of that emi-
nent civil service reformer, Colonel.
Theodore Roosevelt. There hasn’t
been such a. wholesale slaughter of the
innocents (?) since the days of King
I Herod.
The capers of Governor Peabody of
Colorado r-nd his lieutenants must
cause a creepy feeling about the spinal
columns of Republican leaders as they
think of what may happen to them tn
November. That illustrious patriot.
General Charles Henry Grosvenor of
Ohio, has publicly expressed the o]>ln-
ion more than once that the Home-
stead matter defeated General Benja-
min Harrison for re-election. Wonder
If history Is about to repeat Itself?
