CANT LET POLITICS ALONE
It would appear the Texas Com
<
mercial Secretaries cannot le t poli
tics alone and stay j the job for
are supp fftobe creat
ed This Is an organization that can
do much good If its efforts are right-
ly directed but when it resorts to
hammering and criticising state laws
state officers etc it tears down fast-
er than It builds The world is ready
to believe Texas laws are inimical to
capital when a Texas organization
supposed to be created to boost tells
them so it is ready to believe state
officials are carrying up their sleeve
daggers with which to stab capital
seeking Texas Investments when
such an organization tells them it is
soIf
If the secretaries wish the coopera-
tion of the country press it will
please stay on the boosting job and
keep out of politics lend their ser-
vices to boosting and building Texas
and not to boosting and booming pol-
iticians and In tearing down others
This is a straight tip that costs
the secretaries nothing and one they
should heed
WHERE WERE THE DEMOCRATS
A few days ago the Herald com-
mented that appearances indicated
that the insurgent republicans were
occupying the place of vantage that
should by right belong to the demo-
cratic party and would had not a
bunch of socalled democrats been
trading for part of the tariff loot
And now comes the Waco TimesHer
ald and adds this and it is clean
clear truth though maybe disagree

able truth to some of the democratic
congressmen
The democratic party was entrusted
with power by the American people in
1S92 it failed at critical moments to
measure up to pubilc expectations
and so went by the board
Drunk with its unlimited power the
republican majority has gone from
excess to excess provoking the peo
ples wrath Here lay the democratic
opportunity
But gOreadthe debates in the con-
gress when the tariff question was
before that body and note that the
issue was brought into the moral
realm by men who call themselves
republicans Dolliver and Bristow and
LaFoliette and such men
What were the democratic senators
saying and what were the democratic
senators doing when the tariff bill
was before the body of which they
are members
Why these democratic senators
were pleading and voting for the thing
called protection I am not sur-
prised said Mr Dolliver in open
senate to see democrats change
their views about the protective tar-
iff
For the moment at least it looks
as though the insurgents are to reap
benefits which would have come to
the democrats had the latter not sold
their birthright for a mess of pottage
Of course there is a possibility of
democratic success through republi-
can dissensions but a victory of that
sort has not the staying qualities of
one that comes from aggression for
the right
It is comforting to believe that the
American people are going to once
more take charge of their govern
ment names and places and persons
as Mr Emerson says count for very
little
NOW WHAT
DO YOU
THAT
THINK OF
News from Galveston tells us that
the first of a number of big steamers
has arrived there with a cargo of
600000 cans of peaches canned in
Baltimore This fruit is for Texas
consumption Yet only a few weeks
ago Texas permitted the finest and
biggest peach crop in its history to
rot in the orchards Or at least the
greater portion of it did If peaches
can be canned in Baltimore shipped
to Texas and sold at a profit why
cannot canneries In Texas take care
of the Texas crops at a greater profit
Whats the answer
EATING A MATTER OF HABIT
Horace Fletcher an authority on
what to eat and how to eat says the
trouble with most of us is that we eat
too much and that it is largely if
not wholly a matter of habit We
are in the habit of eating three meals
a day when we neither need them nor
want them
It is a fact that eating is almost as
much a matter of habit as of neces-
sity and the habit is not a rational
one Meals are prepared three times
a day and we s t down to them
when we are not hungry and try to
force an appetite in an artificial
way That is habit and that habit is
what the food theorist says we ought
to get rid of
Some people eat but two meals a
day and some others only one meal in
twentyfour hours There are still
others who regularly eat four or five
meals a day and do a little lunching
between meals Its a habit as much
as anything else Children are apt
to be hungry most of the time or at
least to imagine they are and to eat
as often as opportunity offers Some
men eat three hearty meals during
the day and another just before going
to bed if they happen to be out until
near midnight and think that is the
proper thing to do They get the
habit because it seems to be fashion-
able in their set
We are advised that dumb animals
behave more rationally eating only
when they are hungry and then rest-
ing and giving the food time to di-
gest That is the way educated and
rational people will do when they are
able to overcome a vicious habit says
the food theorist There will not
then be any regular meal times The
food will be prepared and placed
where it is attainable and those who
can get it will eat when they are
hungry and only then If they know
enough to eat slowly and to masticate
thoroughly they will enjoy every
morsel until there is no longer any
taste left in it and they will not get
up from the table with a feeling ot
overfulness and lassitude for the rea-
son that they have not bolted their
food and invited indigestion
After awhile we may learn a great
deal more about right living than we
seem to know now and then we may-
be healthier and happier and slive
longer San Antonio Express
The next thing on the program is
the inspection of the new millinery
and we can feel it now that it is go-
ing to be perfectly beautiful Yes
it is
Secretary Ballinger in the face of
the conduct of the investigating com-
mittee should resign his position
and save bis friends from further em-
barrassment They have gone to the
extreme now of preventing a quorum
in order to avoid an adverse report
And this too in a question where
partisan politics should have no stand-
ing
The suggestion of a big modern
hotel for Palestine has caught right
on and the people want such a hotel
Apparently it is one of the most pop-
ular moves started in the good old
town in a long time Here is a good
opportunity for local capitalists to
make a good investment
The papers of East Texas are do-
ing their utmost to develop the sec-
tion and if the people of this part of
the state would show the same zeal
great results would follow The East
Texas papers appreciate that this is a
good country and they want the out-
side world to know about it
v If President George A Wright of
the Board of Trade is given the
proper support he is going to send a
cracking good exhibit of the countys
products to the Dallas Fair And he
should have the cooperation of every-
man and woman in the county to the
extent at least that all send him in
something for exhibition purposes
Anderson county wants more popula-
tion and this is one of the best ways
to go after them
Organized labor in Palestine as
well as over the state generally think
well of Governor Campbell as was
attested by the presentation of a lov-
ing cup by the Palestine men The
governor has been abused very round-
ly from certain quarters but investi-
gation shows that most of his assail-
ants are people who want special
rights or do not want to obey the
law And that kind of opposition is a
compliment to the governor
The Dingley and Payne tariff bills
have forced another sort of exporta
tion which grieves every lover of our
country and that is exportation of
good American citizens to the British
Northwest Last year 86000 Ameri-
cans chiefly from the Mississippi
valley expatriated themselves large
ly because they could purchase all
products including American farm
implements and other articles manu-
factured in the United States more
cheaply than they can purchase them
at home These emigrants from the
United States are among our best cit-
izens and this departure is a great
and serious loss to the republic for
they are going at the rate of nearly
100000 per annum ChamD Clark

JUDGE JENKINS WON HIS POINT
Lightfoot Says He and Mobley Are
Legally Qualified
Austin Texas Sept
orate opinion today
comptroller Attorney
foot held that Judge
who was appointed one of the judges
of the Third court of civil appeals
and John Mobley who was appointed
assistant attorney general by the
governor were constitutionally ap-
pointed and the comptroller was au-
thorized to issue their warrants
Both of these appointees were mem
bers of the legislature which raised
the question as to their eligibility tht
senate having refused to confirm their
appointments
Attorney General Lightfoot says
The legislation does not attempt to
render members of the legislature in =
eligible for any other office during
the term for which they were elected
except in cases where the office has
been created the emoluments in
creased or where appointment is
made in whole or in part by each of
the branches of the legislature Out-
side of these exceptions members of
the legislature are eligible for appoint-
ment or election to any other office
Further it is held that confirmation
by the senate is not necessary accord
ing to the decision of the supreme
court In conclusion Mr Lightfoot
says You are therefore respectfully ad-
vised that in our opinion Messrs
Mobley and Jenkins are duly appoint-
ed qualified and acting officers of
this state and until their successors
are duly appointed or elected and
qualified they are entitled to receive
the emoluments prescribed by law
for their respective offices We are
further of the opinion that the gover-
nor would have no authority under
the legislation or laws of this state
to appoint or nominate their succes-
sors as no vacancy now exists in
either office

a better representation of cotton buy-
ers Mr C A Sterne secretary of
the Board of Trade interested the
audience on the subject of agricul

on impor
chan d t0 fit t new requirements
tance of encouraging the Boys Corn d has b converted into a veryat
Club and asked aid in getting as
many boys interested in this enter
prise as possible and to assist in
getting donations for premiums After
this address the house proceeded to
business A motion was made by T
J Dickson to have a committee of
investigation appointed Motion lost
for lack of second A motion to have
the weighers and buyers of cotton to
set forth the exisiting differences car-
ried Mr Walter Mclnnis weigher in
a talk stated that the buyers demand-
ed that the weighers weights tally
with the compress weights Mr Leo
Davidson was called on to justify this
demand on weighers The demand
was based upon a fear of a loss in
shortage Mr W H Calcote weigh
er gave as the cause of trouble
the same as Mr Mclnnis Mr W B
Welborn declared that it cost too
much to handle cotton in Palestine
that the business was too loose If
he bought a bale of cotton weighing
500 pounds he did not want it to
weigh less Mr Walter Mclnnis
in reply stated no loss had been sus-
tained by buyers and ail shortage
was a loss to the farmer as the two
pounds allowed was taken from the
price of the farmers cotton Mr Leo
Davidson in brief defended the man-
agement of the cotton press in weights
grading and handling cotton Mr
Frank Morris claimed that the public
weighers were just as honest in their
business and were expert graders
Mr T L Rogers corroborated Mr
Morris Mr V J Hutcherson moved
that no change in the present mode
of handling cotton be made carried
By consent of the house the chair
appointed T L Rogers a committee
to meet with the members of the
committee appointed by the Board of
Trade and cotton weighers Mr Jack
ONeal offered this resolution Be
it resolved That the farmers are un-
alterably opposed to pay more than
