Senator Sheppard.
Morris Sheppard has been
elected by a majority of the
members of the Texas Legisla-
ture to supercede Senator R.
M. Johnston for what remains
of the unexpired term of Sena-
tor Bailey.
It was a small piece of busi-
ness to thus deny an almost
empty political honor to an
honorable and high-toned citi-
zen of the State who Has
served the Democratic party
earnestly and loyally through a
busy lifetime without variable-
ness or shadow of turning, and
Morris Sheppard was largely
responsible for it.
Mr. Johnston had never
sought public office or reward
■for the party service performed
by him. He was made a
member of the Democratic
National committee at a time
when die newspaper of which
he was the editor was the only
daily of the fitife class in the
State which supported the reg-
ular Democratic organization,
and he served efficiently and

StaadiagPst.
Republican members of the
United States senate profess to
be deeply affronted on account
of the determined action of
their Democratic colleagues in
preventing the confirmation of
the army appointments sent to
that body by President Taft in
an effort to pay his political
debts, provides places for as
many Republicans as possible
during die incoming Democratic
national administration and
cripple that administration as
much as possible by depriving
it of the right to call itself Dem
ocratic from top to bottom.

of ths country has there been

cry to proceed with the work
of appointing Republicans to
office throughout the United
States with as much sangfroid
as if he was to be again inaug-
urated president of these United
States On March 4. In fact,
had it not been for the deter-
mined stand taken by the Dem-
ocratic senators in positively
refusing to confirm these elev-
enth hour appointments, Presi-
dent Taft would have virtually
.taken the appointive power out
of the hands of President Wil-
son, and only accorded him
the privilege of naming the few
federal office holders that he
was unable to reach during the
dosing hours of his adminis-
tration.
We can all. understand just
how our Republican friends
feel about this matter, for we
all know how wedded the
average Republican has been
to the idea of his divine right
to hold office. We know that
every member of the badly dis-
figured tribe looks upon the
success of the Democracy as a
personal outrage, and that
the Republican party is being
robbed of its analienable right
to keep itself fastened on the
neck of the people, but we
cannot sympathize with them
in a deliberate and carefully
concocted plan to steal that to
which they have not a shadow
of legitimate claim or title.
We cannot lend our approval
to the Taft plan of keeping

New York, Feb. 10.—Hurry-
ing homeward from abroad
with tuberculossis serum in his
possession that he says is the
first of the widely discussed
Friedmann culture to be
brought to this country. Dr.
Austin B. Heid, a physician of
Pittsburg, arrived on the steam-
ship Potsdam from Europe to-
day and at once took a train
hungry Democrats walking the for his home, where his wife,
face of the earth for four more a consumptive, awaits the ar-
years with the water of keen rival of what Dr. Heid hopes
and unsatisfied desire dribbling will be a cure for her. Dr.
from the comers of their Heid has enough bacilli only
mouths, while the Republican
rascals continue to enjoy all the
fatness of the land.
Every office in the United
States that has been filled by a
whey-bellied Republican for
the past sixteen years now be-
longs to a Democrat, and Dem-
ocrats are going to have what
they have coming or know the
reason why. They are going
to get the rascals out of office
if they have to use prod poles
in the effort, and the best thing
that Zaccheiis can possibly do
is to come < lown out of the
sycamore tree and hand over mann.
for one patient, he declared.
That patient will be his wife.
Dr. Heid was met at quaran-
tine by Dr. Milton H. Foster of
the Ellis Island health service
and questioned in behalf of the
United States Government
about the Friedmann cure. Dr.
Heid told Dr. Foster he had
been convinced of the efficacy
of the cure and had obtained
from Dr. Friedmann just
enough serum to treat a patient
suffering from tuberculossis of
the bone.
Dr. Friederich Franz Fried-
the German scientist
to the people of the Lprd the t who discovered the serum, last
things that belong unto the
Lord.
The stand that the Demo-
cratic members of the United
States senate have taken in the
premises is evidently right and
proper, and they should main-
tain their present uncompro-
mising attitude until William
H. Taft passes out of the White
House, never more to return.—
