WAAT THE PAPERS SAY.

10th day Of June, 1916, Captain
Mifllln Kennedy, who was then in
command Of governments steamer,
entered the harbor at Arkansas
Pass. Capt. William Roberts was
then located at the pass and was
the pilot that brought Capt.
Kenedy's vessel over the bar.
Since that time both have been
citizens OF Southwest Texas, Capt.
Kennedy having been resident OF
Corpus Christi for many years
past and Capt. Roberts still resid.
ing at the pass. Both are still hale
and vigorous, which speaks in I'M
toward terms Of the healthfulness
of the climate Of Southwest Texas"
Tyler Democat. Reporter: "Hon-
est and sensible men ought never
to fall out about politics. In this
free country one man has just as
much right to think and decide for
himself as another; and the man
who does not think and decide for
himself is a poor man, TO say the
least of him."
Waco Morning News: "The Gulf
Shore road, connecting San Anto-
Mo and Velasco, is being pushed
rapidly forward. The old Alamo
city is gradually waking up to the
fact that the days of the oXcart
have gone by, and that she must
have ample transportation facili-
ties or soon surrender her title Of
largest city in Texas"
Pleasanton Monitor: "'How
Shall We Escape is the all alb
sorbing question at camp meetings
this year. If you pay up your back
subscription to your country paper
you won't have to escape. The
trouble with some Of the fellows
who are perspirlng about the
wrath to come is that they haven't
paid the printer. See ?"
Houston Herald: "Quit whin-
ing about the hard times and go
to work. Drive dray if you can't
do any better. If you can't make
~ day, make ST.; 90 cents. Any.
thing to buy bread and to keep
your mind hands employed"
"Don't complain at tie present
cramped financial condition. A use
full lesson is being taught the peo-
pie. We have all been living too
high and too fast. When we get
right the times will get right"
"Harris county's sheriff and Hous
toms chief of police, ought to close
up the gambling houses in this
city, or else come out in a public
card like men and admit that they
cant do it,"
Uvalde News: can old bach.
elor was rather taken aback in
this wise: Picking up a book, he
Exclaimed, upon seeing wood cut
representing man kneeling at a
woman's feet:
Before / would condescend to
kneel to a woman, l would encircle
my neck with a rope and stretch
it, And then turning to'a young
lady, he inquired: DO you not
think it would be the best thing 1
could do%
1T would undoubtedly be the
best for the woman was the sar-
castle reply"
Paris Advocate: "The Bailey
Browder debate has been wild,
and now it is getting woody. Mr..
Bailey and his friends claim to
have discovered plot to assaSi-
nate him, which only failed by
reason of lack OF nerve on the part
of the alleged assassin"
Fort Worth Mail-Telegram 1.-THE
voters OF Texas should not shirk
the duty that is before them, and
every man who can vote should do
so next Tuesday. Populism as a
party with all the danger to good
government should be defeated by
an overwhelming majority in the
state, and the Mail-Telegram be-
lieves that it will be so defeated.
Should the POpulist state ticket
poll a larger vote than it did two
years ago it would be a stimulus to
future and more determined effort
on the party leaders, and the fun.
gus growth would still be with us.
II Democrats will come out and
vote for the ticket put out by the
Dallas convention and vote it
straight our majority in the state
will be such as to cripple Populism
and restore confidence in our polit-
ical condition. An increased Pop
ulist vote would damage Texas
abroad, and that is one thing that
should be considered"
