The scarcity of a product largely
governs the price, and those fortun-
ate enough to have Elberta peaches
for the market will not be heard to
complain at the price.
As seen by Chancy M. Depew, Presi-
dent Taft will have no opposition in
1912 from his side and will be nomin-
ated to succeed himself. In the mean-
time the democrats are preparing to
forestall his succession.

Cel. Roosevelt has made it clear
that he Is not to he considered as a
presidential possibility, and looks
with disfavor on any move to his nom-
ination. Says he has had all the pub-
lic preferment he wants, and' will
stand in the private ranks for the gen-
eral good of the country.
So far, Dallas has had thirteen mur-
ders since January 1st. This is two
short of the record for the same time
last year. None of those who killed
a year ago have been tried.
The Texas Republic, a journal of
pronounced republican policies, pre-
dicts a split in the democratic party
in 1912. One faction will follow Bry-
an and the other Bailey and the re-
sult will be nothing coming to demo-
crats. Bailey, it says, is in practice a
republican and Bryan a prohibition-
ist and populist. Neither will get the
nomination, but “each will name the
democrat for president.”
Our Cooper citizens evidently be-
lieve that once is not always and
twice is not forever, hence, the fail-
ure of last year to sink a deep well
does not disconrage them. A new
company is organized with a capital
of three thousand dollars, and work
on a new well will soon be 4n progress.

The chief executive officer of Texas,
Governor Colquitt, and the general-

Colquitt wants Lightfoot to prosecute

Judge Perry of Franklin, Texas, is
decidedly of the opinion that the in-
terests of the farmers are of more im-
portance than the conviction of the
crapshooter, and has adjourned court,
dismissed the jurors with the agree-
able announcement to go home and go
to work. This policy is in the best
interest of the country and it would
be well if we had more common-
sense judges.
The Times-Review, published by
George M. Roberts in the city of Mt.
Pleasant, saw its 39th anniversary
last Friday. In all these years it
has been a faithful promoter of the,
interests of one of the best towns and
counties in point of soil production and
good citizenship in the state. You see
Titus county is much like Hopkins
county, all right and full weight. As
the Times-Review grows older, may
it grow stronger in the confidence
of an appreciative public.
The House in the National Congress
has been busy and has'put up to the
Senate the reciprocity bill of Canada,
the publication of campaign con-
tributions, and the election of Unit-
ed States Senators by direct vote'
of the people. The Senate has
just gotten organized and seem
slow to get at any business. There
is an intimation that tariff reform will
be postponed and nothing will be done
in that line the present session. It
has been suggested to President TafL
that the purpose for which he called
the extra session, the Canadian treaty
has been accomplished and he ought
to adjourn.
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
Wonder of Wonders! The bill pro-
viding for publicity—BEFORE the el-
ection—of all campaign contributions
above $10 passed the house without a
single vote against. Isn’t it remark-
able? It is less than three years since
President Taft, then a candidate for
the presidency, gave reasons whv pub-
lication should be deferred until after
the election, and ex-President Roose-
velt, then president, endorsed Mr.
Taft’s position. Behold the change!
The world is certainly moving. The
Democrats are responsible for this
reform—it was in their platform, but
the Republicans, under the leadership
of the progressives tried to make it
more radical still and came near suc-
ceeding. The Democrats who oppos-
ed the Republican amendment prob-
ably did so out of fear that the
amendment might prevent the pas-
sage of the measure by the senate.
If the senate adopts the amnedment
there is no doubt that it will go
through the house without opposition
—as it should.—The Commoner.

There is nothing wrong in criticis-
ing the acts of the bad, but it is a
pretty good idea to carefully examine
yourself before you begin your cri-
ticism to determine whether you are
good enough.—Winnsboro Free Press.
If we would practice self examina-
tion more, we would find less criti-
cism of others and more to commend.
We don’t wish to appear unkind or
anything of that sort, but whenever
we see a street peddler sell one of
those manufactured spiders with long
wire legs to a Northern tourist and
tell him it’s a boll weevil, we want to
laugh.—Austin Statesman. '
Oh! go ahead and laugh, and have
your little fun. The Yankee will have
his when he gets home and finds a
dozen or more orders from Austin and
vicinity for bug killers, and he will
smile serenely as he mails out the
little wooden blocks between which
to mash the bugs.—Denison Herald.
It would be a mighty hard matter
to make August Schmidt, a German
farmer of Dewitt county, believe
Good Friday was improperly named,
for it brought him twin colts from a
blooded mare, twin calves from a
fine Jersey cow, a Bershire sow pre-
sented him with sixteen pigs, a
Rhode Island Red hen hatched nine-
teen chickens and a turkey hen thir-
teen embryo gobblers, while a fine
setter that disappeared three weeks
ago showed up proudly wagging her
tail just in front of seven quail find-
ers, worth, he says, $50 each of any
Texas sportsman’s money.—Quanah
Observer.
Whether or not the high tide of
prosperity in the financial affairs of
Mr. Schmidt is due to luck or good
management does not appear, but it
is evident that good things are com-
ing his way and he is “going some.”

An exchange advocates a plan
whereby young ladies attending church
can register their names ' in the
church vestibule, so that the young
men who are in the habit of linger-
ing around the church door can see
whether or not their best girl is pres-
ent and thus set a troubled brain at
rest. The plan would undoubtedly be
a great convenience for a certain
class of young men and would work
well in many places.—Mt Pleasant
Journal.
The preacher who worries because
young men come to church when they
want to see their best girls wants to
take a new hitch in his belt and get a
different view of things. I know of
preachers who’d be glad to have every
young man in town tolled into church
by the girls. When a young fellow is
in the frame of mind that leads him
to go to church because his sweet-
heart goes, he is in a condition when
he will yield to good influences, and
the preacher has a chance to reach
him. The use of a little good taste
and discretion makes the church
house and the preaching hour a good
place for the young people to do their
courting.—Bonham News.

Dr. Cook, of North Pole fame, has
decided to spend a few weeks in
Southeast Texas on a lecture tour.
An exchange remarks that the Doc-
tor’s goose is cooked. However,
cooked or raw, she seems fo be lay-
ing golden eggs at the same old
stand.—Denison Herald.
Well, it is probable many will go to
see Dr. Cook. Texas people seem as
a whole just as ready to believe that
he discovered the North Pole as did
Peary, who is now an admiral and au
admiral’s pay is drawing. Cook not
having a drag with Congress has to

tonio Express.

The Chief of Police of Sherman is
making life interesting for spitters
and persons who ride bikes on the
sidewalks. It is difficult to tell which
is the greater nuisance, but if both
are abolished, life will take on addi-
tional attractions for pedestrians.—
Denison Herald.
There are very few men who would
wilfully and miliciously spit on the
sidewalk, but a very large number
do it without ever thinking of the re-
sults. The habit is not only a filthy
one, but a breeder of diseases, and
the practice should be prohibited in
every community.—Bonham Favorite.
* * *
Texas, just at this time, is being
bombarded with literature for the pur-
pose of showing that statewide pro-
hibition does not prohibit in the states'
that have tried it. And the literature
is being distributed by people who as-
sert that county prohibition is the
most beautiful thing on earth as a
means of dealing with the liquor prob-
lem in Texas. . Whatever statewide
prohibition has or has not done in
other states, there is a question of far
greater importance right here at
home, and that is this. With county-
wide prohibition such a great success
in Clay county, what reason have we
to suppose that statewide prohibition
will not be equally *as successful?
And why will not statewide prohibition
be as successful in any Texas county
as countywide prohibition is in that
county? As for the wet counties,
they have the bootleggers, anyhow,
and statewide prohibition can not
harm them, because their condition
with reference to the liquor question
can not qossibly be made worse.-—
Henrietta Independent.
Another thing we can not overlook
is that when the dry counties were
wet ones and were fighting for local
option the same men who now declare
that state prohibition is a failure told
us then that local prohibition *was a
failure. They then cited us to Kan-
sas, Maine and every other dry state
to prove that local option was bound
to be a failure. Wc didn’t believe
them then and we don’t believe them
now. County prohibition has proven
a success, and so will state prohibi-
tion. Why, the saloon defenders only
last week circulated “Facts” In An-
gelina county to prove that local op-
tion Is a failure. With them anything
is a failure that closes the saloons.—

OLLIE JAMES ON “DEMOCRATIC”
SENATORS.
Ollie James of Kentucky, who is a
candidate for United States senator
against Senator Paynter, an Aldrich
democrat, challenged the senator to
a joint debate. The senator declined on
the ground that such a debate would
disturb the “harmony”'-of the demo-
cratic party.
Following is a statement made by
Congressman James in answer to Sen-
ator Paynter:
“When I read Senator Paynter’s
letter, publishd recently, I was forced
to exclain, ‘Oh, harmony, how many
excuses are perpetrated in thy name!’
Senator could have epitomized in a
single line his real reason for not
^meeting men in debate by saying
^His official record as senator could
not be defended.’ :»
“The proud history of the Kentuc-
ky people is that her lawmakers es-
pecially should meet them face to face
and explain and defend their official
record. And Senator Paynter occu-
pies the unique and solitary distinc-
CLAUDE FROST & CO.
Paynter cannot and has never done
either.
“But when did Senator Paynter get
so much in love with democratic suc-
cess and harmony? When our dem-
ocratic brethren in Louisville were
in a battle for their very life in 1909
he was called upon to aid. Did he do
it? When our party there whs at-
tacked from without and within, when
we needed him, ‘our senator,’ to speak *
for us, for the democracy of Louis-
ville, where was he then? Why did
he not come to their aid? Harmony
and success were not so dear to him
then. The success of the party In the
metropolis of the state did not appeal
strong enough for him to aid that
struggling democracy there, and he
was occupying again the lone- distinc-
tion of being the only leader from the
entire state who refused and failed to ,
lend a helping hand.
“dome along, Senator. I promise to
be as good as the facts of your offi-
cial record will allow me.

■l
tion of being the only democrat who
was ever sent to the senate that ad-
mitted he was afraid to undertake
that task.
‘The senator says we think alike
‘upon the cardinal doctrines of our
party.’ We may think alike, senator,
but we do not act and vote alike.
Your record as our senator is a prop-
er subject of discussion. You1 surely
would not wq6t to cover it up with
‘harmony’—for if you succeeded in
unloading upon the democratic party
of the state a record you were unwill-
ing and unable to defend before your
own party followers, how on earth
would you expect the democrats to
defend such a record before all the
people of the state in the final battle
of ballots?
“Nothing of a personal nature will
be said by me to offend the sensi-
bilities of even Senator Paynter. I
will show to the democracy that Sen-
ator Paynter’s record has in it too
much Lorimer, too “much whitewash,
too much Guggenheim, too much pro-
tectionism, too much stand-patism
and too much Aldrichism.
“The Kentucky people admire an
open, frank fighter, one who can de-
fend his record and that of his party
against attacks in nis own party and
that of the common enemy. Senator

fear this? Come, senator, let us
agree upon a list of joint debates cov-
ering the entire state in each congres-
sional district. We can draw big „
crowds. We can expound the true,
old-fashioned democratic doctrines.
We can help cheer the boys in the
trenches on to ft glorious victory in
redeeming our state from the misrule
of republicanism.
“I have nothing personal against
Mr. Paynter; we are good friends, but
it is Senator Paynter, the official,
whose record I wish to discuss and
which the people are entitled to hear
discussed. I welcome, invite the sen-
ator to criticise my record as a mem-
ber of congress; he has that right; I
envoke no protection of ‘harmony’ to
shield it; I stand ready to defend it.— ,
