Yours very truly,
j. w. RIGGlNs,
Prop. Waco Trading Co.
Again We Talk.

J. Did you hear how the gam.
blers and sports of Waco (male and
female) say "The present city
administration suits us to T." Do
you "get the idea2"
3. In our municipal government
there are three educators: The
press, the pulpit, and the sport. The
greatest of these in our city is the
sport.
3. The truth sometimes takes the
hide off-never fails where the an
imal is "hide. bound"
4. Never pull the hair on the hind
leg Of mule TO see if he will kick.
His ears or bray Will warn you.
5. The man who dictates both
price and terms never pays
promptly.
6. The men and women who
stand high in the world never "get
there" through modern society.
z. The Waco Trading Company
sells more goods, furnishes more
houses from kitchen to parlor than
any house Of its kind in Texas.
s. The Waco Trading Company
buys goods in larger quantities, d.
rect from factories, ships only in
car load lots, secures the lowest
rate of freight and sells the best
goods for the money of any house
in Texas.
0. We don't believe in the pull
pits and preachers going into pol
itics, but the modern Dmunicipal
government is simply a normal
school to encourage, educate and
stimulate all kind of law breaking
and immortality, and the preacher
who does not condemn this grow
ing sin fails of his duty-in
our humble opinion. Gambling,
the Reservation and Doodle taking
men ruin more men and boys il
Waco than all other evils.
Trade in everything.

but the Republicans refuse to vote
whenever such refusal will break Il
quorum. and the Democrats, though
they have majority of nearly 100, are
unable to muster enough of their men
to make quorum independently OF

excellent. Gladstone had
but 40 majority in the House of Com

bers of the Senate Finance Committee

DoudCntS. The Voice correspondent
managed. however. TO see Senator ilar-
ris Dem J, of Tennessee, and asked HIM
why the bonding period had been so
extended.
The bonding period was extended
for the purpose of affording distlllers
greater convenience in the method of
handling and dispOsing of their prod
ucts,' said Senator Harris. "These
people. together with the purchasers of
their material. the iobbers, and more
especially the iobbers, were the parties
who made the request for the eXten
sion, and our committee saw that the
courtesy and favor might readily be
granted these merchants, since it would
aid very eifectualiy to facilitate bust
ness transactions between them and at
the same time render the Government
and no one else an injury. The reve-
nue. to the Government cannot thereby
be decreased, for an increased percent
age is placed on spirits.
1T is true that the extension was not
demanded by any one outside the Ii
quor trade, but because in this instance
liquor merchants alone are benefited
is not an argument against aiding their
industry or any other enterprise SO
long as no one suffers through the new
arrangement.
After several questions had been
asked Senator Harris regarding tho
vast amount of money to be withheld
from the Government for length of
five years by the eight year extension
of the bonding period, which will prove
source OF much profit for the distill-
ers, the Senator displayed an irritable
nature and his reply was, Are you &

NO UNION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

We hereby express our unqualified
and most earnest disapproval of the
attempts now being made to secure the
passage by Congress of the "Christian
amendment" which proposes to insert
in the Constitution of the United States
that this is a Christian nation: We
have received copy of paper devot-

Baptists have suffered enough IN the
past by reason of the union of church
and State. Let them send up one
mighty protest against this pending
measure in Congress, and if possible
secure its crushing defeat Baptist

The Record is right. We don't want
any union of Church and State in this

of the citizens of the Republic and not
