IF THEY MUST, LET THEM GO
In the Dallas News of August 18th we
find the following as the expression given
by some of the delegates from Southern'
Texas who attended the late Democraiic
convention at Dallas:
They declared thaCthe spirit of North
Texas is so diametrically opposed to
tbatof South Texas ihat adivision of the
State, however much it might hurt the
feelings of Texas, would nevertheless
be the part of statesmanship. They
furthermore declared that the sentiment
of North Texas was not in harmonv
lyitb the liberal and patriotic views of
the men who freed Texas from the
yoke of Mexican oppression, and they
declared that North Texas shbuld be
segregated with its Puritanism, and
allowed to go its way. while South
Texas*should be permitted to enjoy the
blessings of self-government, as well
as the possession of the Alamo, San
Jacinto and Goliad, and the liberty
which they signify.”
All we have to say is that if the men who
gave utterance to those words do mot wish
to be attached to North Texas, let them
move out of the State. Texas was in ex-
istence before they came to it. Texas did
n3t miss them before they came, and will
not miss them if they should go away.
Some saloon man might miss them by rea-
son of not haying them to drink up his
mean whisky; even some gambling den
might miss theii^presence. But no church
would miss them, no institution of learning
would miss them, no moral association
would miss them.
North Texas does not want them, be-
cause they would add nothing commenda-
ble to its good reputation, and their in-
fluence would be contaminating.
North Texas furnishes the brains for this
State in the National 'government. North
Texas and West Texas furnish the best
material that is found in the judicial de-
partment of the State. North Texas fur-
nishes most of the means that pay the ex-
penses of the State government. North
Texas is peopled with citizens from the
States that furnished most of the greatest
heroes who made sacred forever the name
of the Alamo. Beneath the soil of North
Texas lie buried the remains of many of the
brave patriots who gave to San Jacinto her
proud victory, anti to Texas her freedom.
North Texas justly claims the right to an
inheritance in the glory and the lame of
the Alamo, of Goliad, and of San Jacinto.
If the disgruntled, one-horse, beer-soaked
politicians do not like Texas as it is now,
let them pack up and get out. Everybody
is willing for them to go. No tears will
bemhed, no regrets expressed at their going.
They are of no benefit to the State. North
Texas and West Texas will lose nothing
by their departure. It these grumblers
want to get rid of us, let them go. It they
intend to stay in Texas, let them soak their
heads in cold water and cool off.
crease in crime. Counties that have had
the open saloon have gone through the
same hard times that we have, but crime
has not decreased alike in them. With
these f$Fts before him, we believe that the
conclusibn we have reached is the only one
that can be reached by a thinking man who
is honest with himself.
Close the saloons, and crime decreases;
open these institutions, and you invite
crime to come into the community and sac-
rifice manhood, happiness and human life
upon an unholy altar.

If the weather clerk doesn’t conduct him-

Mr. Farmer, beg your pardon for re-
minding you so often, but now is a good
time to use a split-log drag on the roads.
That will get them in good shape to haul
the coming cotton crop to market.
Jupiter Pluvius, you might let up on

farmers are beginning to mutter, “Enough

HIRE IS THE REAyLM
° The Pans News recently contained an
article under the caption, “Decrease of
Crime.” The writer went on io show that
daring the last four years crigpe had great-
ly deci eased in Fannin,' Lamar and Red
River counties, the decrease being very
noticable even to the casual observer, but
especially to the lawyers and those who
have anything to do with the courts.
The writer seemed to be at a loss when
it came to divining the cause of this de-
crease, but suggested that it was probably
because the^citizenship in the counties
n’ktned had gotten upon a higher plane of
civilization. He added that the hard times
during the jpst three or four years possibly
had some bearing on the matter, as people
are slow to get into trouble when they have
not the money with which to get them-
selves out.
Had it ever occurred to you, bother, that
the adoption of local option by these coun-
ties may have had something to do with
decreasing crime? During the local option
campaign in this county last spring we hail
occasion,to investigate this very question,
and according to the records of the courts,
there had been only about a third as much
drunkenness since we voted the saloons out
a%-there was when we had them. There
had been a decrease of over one-third in af-
frays and assaults, ami there are a third
less number of cases for disturbing the
peace than there were under the saloon re-
gime. Crimes in general, according to the
records of the courts, have decreased nearly
one-half.
Do you think this is merely a coincidence?
| We cannot believe that it is. We believe
#hat this one thing the expulsion of the
l^ooo—is the principal cause of this de-
Maryland, and particularly the Balti-
more Sun, is crowing no iittle about about
having the “Handsomest governor.” Well,
now, come to think of- it, the gentleman
who was nominated at Dallas last week is
not bad looking, himself, if he has a
hump on his back'.

There was too (in San Francisco) an im-
provement in the general health of the peo-
ple atter the earthquake. It is an undoubt-
ed fact that a great many men and women
who were in a poor state of health before
the shock, With poor appetites and delect-
ive*digestion. are now eating all they can
get and are digesting it without trouble,
while the mental condition which so often
accompanies the dyspeptic state has also
improved. The explanation is as simple as
it is rational. These people were fortu-
nately deprived of their trams, alcohol and
luxuries; they had nothing but simple food
and they were compelled to take exercise in
the open air to get it. The men have lound
it possible to live without cigars apd whis-
ky, and the ladies without candy. They
have cooked their simple meals in the street,
for lack of light they have gone to bed
early, with the compensation that they
have risen with the lark. They have had
the enforced benefits of a sanitarium, and
good health is the result.—London Hos-
pital.
Scuse us, please. We’ll take the ill
health route in preference to the earth-
quake route every time.

ment is preparing to -defend it-
self, and will, very probably, sup-
press the uprisings, though
many lives may be lost and
much property destroyed before
the end is accomplished.
It is not the intention now of
Uncle Sam to intecfere, as it is

will be equal to the emergency.
Conditions in Valparaiso.
The conditions in Valparaiso,
Chile, are equally as bad, if not
worse, tb*ati they were in San

Most of .the buildings have
either fteen destroyed or dam-

houses, however, were not dam-
aged. One Church building re-

The number of dead is estimat-
ed at more than 2,000.
The tragic scenes of San Fran-
cisco are said to have been repro-
duced. The first shook lasted
about 41minutes, and the sec-
ond about 2 minutes. Then
came the fight against fire, the

Farmers of Fannin county, listen! A
good way to celebrate the nomination of
the Democratic candidate for governor
would be to take a split-log drag and run
over the roads in front of the house and
around the lartn. Suppose you try it, gen-
tlemen.— Bonham News.
That would be a practical celebration, to
be sure. And, furthermore, it would not be
hall so enervating to the physical constiltu-
tion as some other wavs of celebrating.
Again, it would be a means of celebrating
which would be lasting in its effects ard so
productive of good results as to create a de-
sire to celebrate the year round. There is
no use talking, the split-log drag is an in-
stitution that is going to make Texas fa-
mous, and it has come to stay. Only be
can-lul that it does not stay in one place.
Move it along.-Ft. Worth Record.
We are doing our best to persuade tli
