I The greatest nuisance to soci-

To take advantage of a man's
ignorance and use same for the
foundation for a lot of sport and
fun is not in accordance with
“good morals and gentle man-
ners.” There is always a limit
to fun, and when carried beyond
the limit it becomes rediculous.
If you are going to have a Kanga-
roo court, have one, but don't
work some poor fellow into it,
making him think it is “real
court''and causing him to expose
his ignorance in such a fritiful
and shameful manner as was
witnessed at the opera house a
few nights ago~it isn't right,
gentleman, i t isn't right'—Ris-
ing S ar X Ray.
Say friend Brigham, if that
was you who fell victim to that
cruel sport receive this confiden-
tial advice: Keep quiet, don't
mention this except to special
friends and then in an ufider
whisper. You are njaking mat-
ters worse every time you repeat
this. Don't spend too mu$h
time trying to reform the wick-
ed wrong doers, but spend more
time putting the fellow next who
might fall a victim to this cruel
sport. Now, if yon can prove
an|ailbi, we will pass this matter
up, and try to put the joke on'
the other fellow. JSI
Some time ago the president
and the manager of a company
doing business in Dallas were
discussing the employment of a
young man who had applied for
a position. The applicant waited
in the outer office while his ap-
plication was being discussed in
the president's rooms. His ref-
erence were good and it was
decided to give him employment
at $75 a month. The manager
walked out to tell him of the de-
cision and found him calmly'
smoking a cigarette. That set-

ting the position, sought ' the Cousins and Lieut. Gov. David-
young man was told that he was
not wanted. The management
of this particular company did
not feel it incumbent on them to
explain their reasons for decid-
ing against him, \but a cigarette
cost the young man a $75 place.
Far m and Ranch knows and can
vouch for the truth of this par-
ticular incident. Doubtless there
are other occurrences which
many business men could relate
if they would.-Dallas Farm and

mule vf as Tom Thumb, the small-
est 6-year-old mule in the world.
He belongs toJ. N. AdarUfe and
Joe Wilmetfcof this city and was
brought here a few months ago
from Brewster county. The lit-
tle m ile was put on the scales
on Eigth street. -He weighed
158 pounds and seemed real

mule to a little cart, but mostly

weigh so much if he were not so
fat. He is only 29 inches high
and when he first arrived here
weighed rquch less. But every-
thing gets bigger in Ballinger.
We took the above item from
that well edited caper, the Stam-
ford Tribune, and do not know
just who is responsible for the
statement that “every thing gets
bigger in Ballinger,”, but we
want to express ourselves to the
world that if this is literally true,
and we can induce a few liars
whom we know to give up their
hold on the fertile old county of

any bigger in Ballinger or any
other place, we would like to

dwellers will offer this mule as
part of the bonus to secure the

No, we will not offer our mule
in exchange fpr the State Nor-
mal. He is the smallest mule in
captivity. But, if anything is
wanting to prove the statement
that everything grows bigger in
Ballinger, the editor of the Com-
anche News will note from the
report of the San Angelo Stan-

S major Bailey was in especial- ft
oh account of the Waters Pierce
incident. His argumphts in the
Support of the ificome tax amerid-
ments have been masterly and
unanswerable, thoroughly ex-
ploding the ingenious objections
urged by tjife representatives of
predatory wealth with the view
of protecting the rich from an
equitable distribution of'the bur-
den of government.
There is little doubt that the
continued attemps to evade the
assumption of their legitimate
share of this burden of govern-
ment, on the part of those who
have, grown rich as a result of
the favoritism aVid discrimina-
tion of a paternal government,
are directly responsible for a
very large part of the lawless-
ness and anarchy which exist in
thq country today. An income
tax law is demanded by every
consideration of justice and
sound political economy and
Senator Bailey has reneered an
important service to the country
by his masterly refutation of the
selfish arguments that have been
offered in the efforts to defeat
the amendment.—New Orleans
States.
The appellation, “the nfighty
Texan,” which,Senator Bailey
found attached to him aftrr his
effort on the railroad rate bill
was made more descriptive of
ly good voice, despite his recent
illness, and reminded those who
heard him of the days hen he
said things on the floor of the
house and later in the. seaate
that made his adversaries go
home and think it bver. —Wash-
ington Herald.
Senator Bailey, Hon. Joe B»i- 'jjip
Jey of Texas, holds that an in- •
come tax would not be unconsti-
tutional. This opinion on the
part of Mr. Bailey emphasizes
again the fact that those who
have an imeome are quick to
see the weak spots in the pro -
posed income law. If tax be the
price of protection and civic or-
derly procedure, and one has un-
der this protection accumulated
a large amount of property, it
would seem that some tribute to
the government, asaid from that
though the regular channels, is
not out of line with the theory of
government in this country.—
