FoRT WORTH should not again feel
unkindly toward Dallas. One Of its
citizens, a Methodist circuit rider, was
recently allurcd into the byways of
political ambition and accepted the
dark lantern nomination for State
senator. The canvass waxed warm,
and the preacher candidates oppon-
ents circulated reports to the effect
that he was drunk, fighting and other
wise exceedingly boisterous in end
about the Fort. These reports COM
ing to the annual conference, com
mittec of investigation was appointed
and on trial in Fort Worth yesterday
the committee Of six, composed of
four preachers now living in Dallas
and one pastor here the past year, ac-
Quilted and exOnorated the accused
Fort Worth man. Dallas is always
ready to extend helping hand to its
toddling little sister on the west.
CONGRESSIONAL legislation reports
from Washington as regards the inter-
state commerce bill, are becoming
amusing. Judge Reagan had expect
ed to give his senatorial boom very
positive boost by the prompt passage
of his pct measure. But imagine his
dismay and Maxey's quiet satisfaction
when the conference committee
adopted more of the Cullum senate
bill than Of Rcagan's, and precedent
requires that the bill agreed upon by
the conference committee shall be pre-
scented in the senate first by Senator
Cullum and goes to the house only
after its passage in the senate. The
credit for persistency in that direction
belongs to Judge Reagan, whether his
particular views were adopted or not.
THE Gazette can't give up its. PEN
chant for political prediction. 1t is
dangerous habit. lis latest venture is
that "Gov. Irelsnd will never be
United States senator from Texas"
This sort of positivism is childish.
The governors chance are about as
good as those of any other gentleman,
and there is no good reason for saying
he will "never be elected."- Bolton
Journal.
The Gazette does not boast record
as good gucsser or accurate statis-
tician. Last summer il interviewed
and calculated Swain into the guber-
material nomination, and the previous
canvass elected Patton and defeated
Gov. Ireland with Wash Jones' Its
position may be construed as favorable
to Gov. Ireland.
The Denison News and Texarkana
Times denominate the papers which
favor Gov. Ireland as "tools" and
"hired TOOLS" That sort of reasoning"
will hardly make any friends for their
Gen. Maxey, at least among men of
such character as compose the state
legislature. Neither does It in the
least effect Gov. Ierland's growing
strength or the equilibrium of the pa
pers which desire to see him elected
to the senate.
The Fort Worth Mail rightly thinks
Texas should be consistent, and in be-
ing 80, should have hand in the reg
ulation of cattle quarantine, etc. Says
the Mail:
fthcir be good reason for Texas to
oppose the Blair educational bill land
there are best of reasons for so doing)
then the state should be consistent and
not delegate to q ''paternal govern
ment, the care of her cattle interests
