living, the
dead don’t need ‘em.” Up in
Collin county there is a candidate
for congress who certainly de-
serves substantial recognition by
the people of his district, com-
posed of Collin, Hunt, Grayson,
Fannin and Rains counties. His
name is Perkins—Tom W. Per-
kins, and he is a newspaper man.
He began life in Hopkins county,
and when a mere boy worked
for the Tates on the Hopkins
County Echo. He was illy
equipped to begin the battle of
life alone, but unfalteringly he
entered the fray and has been on
the fifing line ever since. He
was not content to remain a
printer; his one ambition was to
own a paper; and about 27 years
ago he entered the held at Wylie,
Texas. He was poor; he was un-
educated; but he was energetic
and resourceful, and he set him-
self to work to educate himself
and he labored, and by burning
liberally of the midnight oil he
accumalated knowledge of the
most practical character. He
studied law and was admitted
to the bar, but his active news-
paper work kept him from prac
tise. He has been Justice of the
Peace, mayor of McKinney, afto
state senator, and two years age
made the race for Congress
against eight strong opponents
and came out second, being de
featecl by a bare 400. He is a
busy man, with the Daih
Courier-Gazette to look after, anc

characters. His ambition now is
to go to congress, and this writer
would like to see that ambition
gratified. There arq abler men
in the district than Tom W. Per-
kins, but we doubt if there is
another who would work harder
than he tor the interests of the
people who should elect him.
Tom W. Perkins is one of the
“original Wilson” men, a demo-
crat and a prohibitionist* of the
militant type. This trinity ol
virtues should recommend him.
But he is more than that. He is
a man of good,- hard business
sense, an untiring worker in any
cause he undertakes and would
not become a drone in the hive
of workers, should he be chosen
to succeed Congressman Sam
Rayburn.
Hopkins county voters cannot
aid him in reaching the mecca
of his desire, so far as votes are
concerned, blit there are those
who feel a deep concern in the
result of the primaries, and hop-
ing that he may find the recog-
nition sought for.
crops and, in-
cidentally, earn a few bits while
enjoying their vacation.
To a Rustler representative at
the hotel Saturday night, Col.
Ball said: ‘‘That was a splendid
crowd out tonight. It was a
surprise—a revelation to me. and
showed up well for ^he culture,
refinement and character of your
little city as a social center. It
was an intelligent audience, and
I certainly appreciated the large
attendance of ladies.” The fe-
male of the Cumby species makes
her influence felt at all times and
upon all occasions, and even can-
didates for governor are bound
to admit it. Come to Cumby,
Hopkins County, Texas, in the
grand old U. S. A.
The game of politics is a great
one, and just now is being played
scientifically in Texas. Some
play the game square and accord-
ing to the rules; others use load-
ed dice. The voters stand off
and watch the game as the deal-
ers shuffle the cards. They hold
the winning hand and will play
it on the 25th of July. On with
the battle.
More and more are we con-
vinced that Claud Callan of the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram is i
married man. Get this from
him. “A New York man re-
ported that another man held a
gun on him while a woman rifled
his pockets. This is hard to be-
lieve. With woman’s experience
she needs no aid.”
William F. Robertson of Dallas
has eliminated himself from the
f
jubernatorial race. Splendid
idea; it relieves the voters of the
job of doing it at the July pri-
maries. ^
With Oar Exchanges
Working for Cumby
Waterworks System
The managers and stockholders
in Cumby’s deep well have been
active this week, represent-
atives visiting 'Commerce and
Dallas to inspect different sys-
terns that they might adopt the
best for their use. Monday W.
F. Hull, C. A. Bridges, W. B.
Ellis and C. M. Patton were in
Commerce. There they inspected
the water system, and examined
the pumping plants at the ice
factory, and also that employed
by the Texas Midland. Tuesday
the same parties went to Dallas
where they ' examined different
small calibre pumping plants and
acquainted themselves with the
machinery being used, among
others, that at the Common-
wealth,. Bank building, which is
conceded to be one of the best
private water systems in Dallas.
Visiting the different supply
houses they text itively bargained
for machinery for pumping plant,
but have not as yet fully deter-
mined upon the purchase.
It is the purpose of these gen-
tlemen to install pumping ma-
chinery and test, thoroughly the
capacity o f the' deep well.
Should it stand the test and prove
a prolific one, it is their intention
to put in a standpipe and run
mains, thus supplying Cumby
with a perfect system of water-
works. This well has been al-
lowed to remain dormant sines
it was completed last summer.
Experts say there is plenty of
water and lasting. The people
of Cumby are hoping the experts
are correct and that the Deep
Well Association will soon install
the plant.

Burleson’s New
Money Order System
Postmaster Junell, as well as
postmasters the country over,
have received their instructions
regarding the operation of the
new postal money order system,
which will go into effect July 1.
These were sent to postmasters
throughout the country.Postmas-
ter Gen. Burleson announced.
Under the new plan, a money or-
Mr. Ferguson's remedy for the ! der- although drawn on a speci-
good and parties in all parts of
the auditorium could distinguish
his every word. His speech was
clear-cut, forceful and telling; he
entered upon the discussion of
his opponent and the principles
he advocates and peeled the cuti-
cle at every lash of his rhetorical
whip. He pictured Ferguson as
he is and showed up the fallacies
of his platform pledges. He ex-
plained his connection with the
Houston club, a social organiza-
tion in his home city, and men-
tioned the character of its mem-
bership. Out of this connection
grew the charge that he was
in league with the whiskey ele-
ment and in this connection he
answered the charges that he
was interested in the sale of
whiskey and offered to withdraw
from the race if the opposition
would prove £hat he had ever re-
ceived a single dollar from the
sale of whiskey, or that he had
ever rented a house in which
whiskey was sold or that an'
liquor man had ever contributed
a cent of money to his campaign.
He said that if submission car-
ried in ti e primaries by majority
vote, and he had a prohibition
legislature it would not be good
for the saloon element to under-
take to defeat the submission
amendment to the people. He
said that under his administra-
*
tlon there would be no favoritism
in the enforcement of the law;
that all would alike be required
to respect and obey the law.
He defined his position on the
penitentiary system, stating that
if elected governor he would ve-
to appropriations for the State
prisons instead of for education-
al institutions. He promised to
take all insane persons out of |
county jails within one year aftey j
election and said he would pro-
vide better care for the blind. He
explained his position on the Tex-
as University and A. & M. ques-
tion."
He said Mr. Ferguson’s land
plank was only a bid for votes,
promising no more than tenants
were getting already.
After resting over night at the
Mathis hotel, with Hon. J. J.
Faulk as his room-mate, Colonel
Ball left early Sunday morning
for Dallas where he expected to
spend the day^resting and look-
ing over his mail, accumulated at
