WHAT MORE =?
What Does the Legislature Ask

May we ask what more can or
could be done to secure the SUBJ
mission of the prayed for Amend,
nent? What does the legislature
ask that it should longer hesitate
to grant the prayer Of the people =?
The citizens of the State, without
regard to party, have now four sew
eral times sent up thousands upon
thousands of petitions. Do our
Honorable Representatives wait to
be buried and smothered under
heaps and piled up mountains of
these humble prayers of their
pleading, anxious, impatient con-
stituents?
Is there any question as to the
orthodoxy of the prayer?
Every Christian denomination in
the State has repeatedly endorsed
the petition and made the prayer
its own, in successive district and
general meetings.
Have the women of West Vir-
ginia intelligence enough to know
when they suffer? And have they
claims on the Legislature worthy
of consideration? They, too, have
repeatedly, by individual prayer
and resolutions of the State w. G.
Z. u, plead for the submission of
the Amendment.
In a word, more prayers have
gone up to Heaven, and more pc
titions have gone up to the Legis-
lature for this one Joint Resolution,
to submit this one asked for
Amendment to the People, than
all the prayers and petitions COM
bined that have ever been present.
ed in the history of the State for
all other objects together in the ma
ture of legislative relief And who
, hath said nay to all these repeated
and piled up petitions? None,
none, NoNE-save very few selfish
dealers in drink-poison, whose in
human traffic is breaking the
hearts and wearing out the lives of
these masses of honest petitioners.
In the name of all that is good
and true, should the avaricious de-
mands of few salOon-keepers be
heard by our Legislature, and the
humble, respectful prayers of the
great body of Christian people, OF
our moral citizenship, and of all
the anxious women of the State,
be rudely thrust aside? God for.
bid! Surely the Legislature must
be ready to yield and say: "'1ts
emough-we can hold out no longer
let the prayer Of the people b
granted"

How Does Rum Affect Business2

There is a business as well as a
moral end to the rum traffic, which
it is well enough to think of, al
though it is the least important
consideration. The pocket nerve
is, however, a very sensitive one,
and should be touched in its turn.
1t is perfectly safe to say that
every penny spent in intoxicants is
that much taken from the other
trades, and it is worse than wasted,
for 1t does the purchaser harm in
stead of good. 1t is not only dead
waste of what is spent but it inca
pacitates the user from earning.
No drunkard is a good or reliable
workman. A drunkard cannot per-
form as good, or as much, labor as
a sober man.

THE SECRET TO BE LET OUT.
Country Publishers No Longer to MOnOp-
olize all the Wealth.
Waco Examiner.

Waco Examiner.
The struggle going Con at Dallas
between the Herald, which is well
entrenched in Northern Texas. and
the News for that rich newspapers
field, and the superhuman efforts
being made by themito retain and
the other to gain possession, is apt
to beget in the public mind the idea
that there are mines and mines of
wealth in the newspaper business, a
state Of things which the press
have always been anxious to depre-
cate. As man with a rich lead is
reticent about his outcropping so
newspapers have always maintained
strict secrecy about their rapid
ly amassing wealth, and with ieal-
Gus eyes an indiscreet struggle
which threatens to let the cat out Of
the bag. Very assiduously, by a
tacit agreement, the papers have
not only universally been remarka-
bly, taciturn about the enormous
revenues Of the newspaper business,
but have persistently sought to mis-
lead public attention by repeated
allusion to the impecuniosity Of ed
itors and publishers. They have
gone further to deepen this impress
sion Of poverty, and editors have
worn old clothes, and stood off bulls
on purpose to strengthen the no
tion, content with quietly in the
dead of night counting the golden
stores and chuckling at the chink
of the yellow eagles Tied up in old
stockings and stored away in odd
holes in the cellar, instead of banks
lest the deposits might leak out.
There never was anything more
general, more cute or more persis-
tent than the efforts which news
paper men make TO conceal their
enormous revenues and TO seem
poor, that they might keep men
from putting newspapers in the
golden field to diminish the pletho-
rio purses and great incomes. And
now when Texas newspaper men
are all getting rich and getting to
see their way clear TO becoming
bloated bond holders, the frantic ef-
forts of two newspapers in the
state to gobble up a rich trade
threatens to let the whole secret out
and newspaper men are gnashing
their teeth. 1t is too bad. The
whole scheme to seem poor lis
knocked into a cooked hat. Stories
of poor editors, of shabby reporters,
of penniless printers are all to be
given the lie and the fact is to
come out that the newspaper men
are rolling in wealth and the news
paper field is great gold mine.
The consequence will be a rush of
men into the business and a diver
sion of the enormous revenues of
newspaper publishers into their
pockets. The West Texas papers
can stand it, having already made
stakes which might cause Jay
Gould to roll his eyes in envy, but
the new beginners who are just
tasting the sweets of wealth will be
in pickle. Confound men or pa
pers who will betray the secrets Of
their profession and open up the
inside workings of their art to the
public gaze. Heretofore the pa
pers have so effectually hood
winked public sentiment about
their wealth that burglars were
never known to break into the
house of printer, but the secret
once out no editors Golfers will be
safe unless protected by columbi-
ads and rified canons.

Married People Would be Happier

Married People Would be Happier
If home troubles were never told
to a neighbor.
If expenses were proportioned to
receipts.
If they tried to be as agreeable as
in courtship days.
If each would try to be support
and comfort to the other
If each would remember the 9th
er was a human being, not an an
gel.
If each was as kind to the other
as VIXEN they were lovers.
If fuel and provisions were laid
in during the high tide of summer
work.
If both parties remembered
that they were married for worse as
we'll as for better.
If men were as thoughtful for
their wives they were for sweet
hearts.
If their were fewer silk and vel
vet street costumes, anu more pIalu,
tidy house dresses.
If there were fewer "please dar-
lings" in public and more common
manners in private.
If masculine bills for Havana's 8
and feminine ditto for rare lace
were turned into the general fund
such times as they could be incurred
with risk.
If men would remember that a
woman cannot be always smiling
who has to cook the dinner, answer
the door sbelI hail a dozen times,
and get rid of a neighbor who has
dropped in, tend sick BABY, tie up
the finger of two-year-old, tie up
the head of six-yearold on skates,
and get an eight-yearold boy ready
for school. A woman with all this
to contend with may claim it as a
privilege to look and feel tired
sometimes, and word of sympathy
would not be too much to expect
from the man who during the hon
eymoon would not let her carry as
much as a sunshade.-N. Y. Mail

Every farmer, who is not already
sheep owner. should get a small
flock of the best sheep, while they
may be purchased so low.

He who keeps sheep with pleas
ure and profit must be patient and
preserving; careful, thoughtful, and
watchful; apt TO learn and apt to
apply what he learns, and endowed
with COED cannon sense and fore
sightedness. More sheep go to the
bad because of a neglected owner,
or one whose temper is cross and
scorns little details, than for any
other reason. A great essential is
to secure a good lot of sheep to
start with, and not too many at
first. Above all things pure-bred
rams are Indispensable and pure
bred ewes are also desirable, al
though not Indispensable.
