THE SfEAhEh5hiEs
1t is stated that Congressman Culberson
refuses to explain his reason for his propos-
ed vote for Randall for speaker of the house
of representatives. any further than that
Randall is opposed to tariff for probibi-
tipn. If foreign importations are prohibit
ed at c0rrse no revenue can arse from
such spfohibition, and hence all argu-
ments that such tariff is necessary for the
maintenance of the government are absurd.
If Mr.. Randall Is not O tariff man of the
"Pennsylvania school," it is strange the
charge is not authoritatively denied. A
tariff for protection of a particular class of
business, means tariff for prohibition.
The Democratic party Is unduestionably in
favor of a tariff for revenue ''only," and the
main issue dividing. the two parties, hinges
upon that little word-"only." The Demo-
cratic party should have speaker whose
record is cltar upon the question, and
whose opinions are in harmony with the
principles of the party. IL would be i'm.
prudent to elect speaker whose position
is doubtful upon the tariff question. 1t is
TO be hoped our Congressme1 Will vote
solidly for a speaker who is in favor OF q
tariff for revenue 'only."-[Denton Moni-

from Texas, the best country under God s

of sensible men, who are now preempting
the rich God favored the southwest from

their children in few ripening years may
share the garners OF developed, beautiful,
beloved home and powerful southwest.
