Arp Says he Can Already See Frightening
Skies and Hard Times Disappearing.
The times certainly look more
hapeful-wc feel it in the air the
cauldron has been boiling and tub
bling-the frOth and scum have been
thrown over and we begin to see the
bottom of the pot through the clear
liquid that has been so darkand mud
dy. Time is good doctor. in little
while the patient will convalesce. Old
folks can't be fooled and alarmed like
young folks.
When | was in Texas last year l
met hundreds of good honest people
who were wild with excitement about
Clark and Hogg. The cry on one side
was, "Turn Texas loose" and it SEEM
ed like the great State was bound and
gagged, and her ruin was inevitable
if Hogg was elected, The newspa-
pers and the people in the towns and
cities cried in frantic tones, "Turn
Texas loose"
But Hogy was elected, nevertheless,
and Texas is there yet in all her glory
and all her strength. | never took
sides, for it was none of my fight, and
| was too old to be alarmed.
Memory goes back now to great ex-
elements, both political and tnan-
cial, and when hear the wild screech
of the politician as he predicts ruin
ruin ruin ifthey don't do his way,
| feel like it is history repeating It,
self, and the storm will blow over as
usual. A little time is all that is
wanted-time to reflect, and rest
and recuperate.

the secret of his success asaphysi

The truth is the doctor might safe

would get well. Just let the c0ttol
