| truth OF the whole matter Is, our
system of laws are too much in the
shadow Of paternalism" to insure
either contentment or prosperity.
In the early days OF history Of this
government, the employer and en-
ploye were left to settle these mat
tiers between themselves, and such
things as "strikes" and "lockouts"
were seldom heard Of"
Houston Post: "There is just
this about it, the man who is so in
different in the preservation of his
political liberties that he ignores
the instrument which the ballot
places in his hand is hardly de-
serving of any liberties, Eternal
vigilance (and registration
certificate) is the price of liberty.
Corpus Christi Caller: "Believ-
ing that there was money in hogs
If properly managed, Mr.. M. A.
Griffin started a hog ranch near
Santa Gertrudes less than two
years ago, and is meeting with the
greatest success. He commenced
operations with only sixty-seven
sows and to this number added
fifty more later on. From these
eight-two sows Mr.. Griffin raised
about 800 pigs, and reports his
stock doing fine, the pigs being
healthy and in a good condition.
Mr.. Griffin raises his own feed, and
in less than two years more he
will no doubt have a good.siZed
bank account as result of his
ranch. If there is anything in
rapid increase, Mr.. Griffin certain
ly made ten strike when he con-
ceived the idea of establishing
hog ranch, and he has also demon
strated the fact that hogs thrive
splendidly in southwest Texas"
Baird Star: "What do you farm
ers and land owners who have run
off in this Populist wildcat bust
ness understand by this? "The
land is the heritage of the people,"
You think the land is the heritage
of him who inherited it from his
ancestor, or by his own skill and
industry worked and paid for it
that he might have a home for
himself and children, don't you?
Well you will see where your land
will go when all the tax is placed
on land. The government will tax
you out of your land. If this is
what you want just keep voting
the Populist ticket"
"Down south the Populists call
themselves Jeffersonian Demo-
Gratis. Up north they call them
selves Abraham Lincoln Republic
cans. Why don't they get together
and agree who is the daddy of this
concern anyway"
Fort Worth Mail Telegram sour
esteemed fellow-citizen, Col. Dick
Wynne, says that the next time he
makes a speech he intends to rip
the Mail-Telegram up the back.
Richard, my boy, remember the
fate of the fellow who tackled a
buzz saw in full motion, and then
proceed with your ripping pro-
cess"
"There are several men making
speeches in behalf Of the Demo-
cratic ticket in Tarrant county
who claim that they are trying to
keep the party together; but, I'M
fortunately, they are using wedge
instead of a clamp. Such man
should be called Off"
"There is no more consistency in
mans standing inside Of the
Democratic party and advocating
the doctrines of the Populist party
than there is in the devil preach
ing about the beauties of the infer
nal regions from a Methodist pull
pit. And the men who insist in
speaking from the Democratic
ranks against the Democratic plat
form should change their quarters
and go where they belong"
Galveston Tribune: Governor
Tillman has got his dispensary
law before the federal law depart
ment by confiscating liquor in one
of Uncle Sans bonded warehouses,
thereby depriving the government t
of much revenue, and it will not
be surprising if the con tlict gets
into the United States supreme
court, where Miss Carolina will
perhaps be admonished that the
federal government has some
rights not granted to the states.
| A female tramp in mans attire
arrested in Indiana was armed
with pair of curling irons which
was the first evidence that betray-
ed her sex. The ruling passion is
strong even in disgrace"
