THE LAND BOARD.
The attack Of the News on the land
board Is having about the usual effect
OF all such onslsughts by the Island

secret understanding with the News?

LOCAL OPTION.
According 10 the SUMS Judgment.
Barney GiboS position on the prohi.
billion question is about correct. He
says 1t is all b0sh about local option
being anti-DemOcratic. Ia fact IL is
just the reverse-the quintesssnce of
democracy. IL LOCALITIES the issue and

ATTEND TO YOUR OWN BUSINESS,
Prohibition has not created the ex-
element in the southern mart
o. the state as in tho north
ern aportion. 1t engenders hard
feelings between neighbors. We
have seen its tested. Let every man
attend TO his own affairs, and every
thing then will move on smoothly and
quietly Bryan Enterprise.
MAKES STRANGE BEp-FELLows.
Prohibition makes strange bed-fel-
lows. carroll and Shaw, of Waco,
Talmag9 and Bog ingersoll stand
shoulder and shoulder ON the prohtbi-
ton platform. Does loneness of
opinions make men brethren? The
question presents itself: Are all in
their labors working in the interests of
christianity? Ii so, then Shaw and
lngersoll are not as bad as some would
have us believe Alexander Free

GRAFTON. If it be question or morals.
simply, we should be able to differ and
get along without disturbing personal
or business relations, for in morals
and religion 1t is conceded, in this
country, that every tub must stand on
It's own bottom, and each may erect lts
own standard. III it is u political
question, and therefore to DO decided
by. political msjOrities, then there is
but two problems 20 solve. Is il DEM

PROHIBITION DEFEATED.
Every county in which local option
election was held on Tuesday last
went against prohibition by msjntiLss
ranging from 500 TO 100 In Smith
county the majority is about I,200; 10
Waller county 500: In Red River

GIBBS COMMENDED.
The Examiner snd tho papers which
pattern after " uro blowing about the
coufsRe OF Coke, Ross and Mills, and
accuse Gibbs OF streddling tho fence.
Gibbs ia his iutervl0W said bo would
oppose prohibition I'm any shape, but

made 10 oppose local option, as 10 was
Democratic IN principle and precedent
and OF Democratic birth. Gibbs pro.

merits as an individual at loast until

Coke, Mills aud Ross had 20 stiilon
themselves by dragging tho prrly into
a local fight on local question, Waco
is not content with getling the offices,
but wants touse the Democratic party
through resident leaders to serve tho
selfish ends of Tho town. Gibbs tosi.

pies and dignity. Tho courage, con-
seryatism and fairness Of his position
will commend him IN tho Democracy,
while the position taken by Coke, Ross

Democratic PARTY some very strung
opposition, We disagree with Gibbs
