WHEREIN HIGGINS
Hits Some SlapS Tells a Little

the Chip !

l. Any man who allows him self to run
for any Office, created in the interest
OF reform, then says "hush don't you
say word there is hen on is not
fit for that Office be he "ht,le bug
or big bug
2. We need set of men who will
be the board of trustees for the city
OF Waco, not who are simply to see
that one man or one woman runs the
thing in her own sweet way. Then
and not till then cali we have a free
school right Then and not till then
can teachers do their full duty.
3 The Waco Trading Co. has
more friends today in Waco and in
the surrounding country than any
BUSINESS house in central Texas,
friends who stick to us IN thick and
thin friends, who say, they buy goods
on the best terms and at the best
prices, friends who say we are in the
right, friends who say eve like your
sort, away with that fellow who is
always IN the middle of the road
Thanks we are with you. We are all
right and have the best and biggest
trade of any house in central Texas in
our line
4. Do you notice the very big let
tiers The Day.Globe uses in announc-
ing the first ticket and the ticket the
people say WAS brought out by the
principal of the central school aud the
attorney for the present superintepd-
emit? And do you notice how much
smaller the letters are announcing the
ticket brought out by the people.
The big letters one man said stands
for the big bug fellows too high above
the people (too big to let the voters
know how they stand The smaller
letters stand for the peoples reform
ticket. For men with the people
Get the idea.
s. The people have had enough
"picnio and parade we want man
superintendent for our schools. We
want strictly business.
s. Two sidewalks on each street
"keep out of the middle of the roadr'

I If these big bugs have no opin

boys all need man for superlntcnd-

A Little Tale-Navigating the Trim
lily You Apply.
A drummer who had read much il
the Dallas News about navigating tn
Trinity, relates as follows: Having
occasion to travel over the country ii
buggy came upon the Trinity river
Lo And behold saw something
which | was told was the steamboa
Harvey. Here was the Trinity beinl
navigated! Here lay the steamboat
Harvey, with hardly enough waite
around it to swim duck, here sh
lay in the mud Asked fellow sup
posed to be the captain why he di'
not bring a barrel of water" Do yo'
notice all this "gush about our fre'
schools; said learned Judge of Waco
under our present school system
e boy or girl alter going through thu
whole course would simply not hav
. educa alton enough to watch a ducl
swim
Who is responsible for just such
state of affairs? We answer: Tn
very same fellows who announced tn
citizens school ticket with the BIZ
letters &C the top and who undertak
to still blind the people by sayin
"these men cannot afford to scramble
They are too, too-iust too utterall
too too To tell the people anything
These are the very fellows we don
want. We want men who patroniz
Y our schools, who are not above GU
people. And don't forget the Wac
Trading Co. can furnish your hous
from kitchen to parlor.
