Denison Herald: Politics and
prosperity won't go hand in hand.
Let " conflne ourselves this year
to the cultivation OF prosperity and
give politics of all sorts and condi-
lions the go by.
Sabinal Sentinel: In these de-
generate days, politicians receive
praise for the meanDess they
refrain from doing instead Of the
good they accomplish.
Globe Democrat: The income
tax men who are talking about a
constitutional amendment in aid
OF their hobby will find more i'm
pediments in that direction than
they did in the Democratic. Popu-
list Congress.
Cuero Star: Calvert is the only
point in Texas where you can find
licensed preacher and a protested
Christian and church member at
work in saloon. But, then, Cal.
vert has many novel and interes-
ing features that but few other
cities can boast OF and susstan-
tiate.
DenisOn Herald: Governor
Hogg, who is in the east trying to
place railroad bonds, is beginning
to realize the immense harm his
free silver declarations have done
to Texas. He asked one promi-
nent capitalist why it was he re-
fused to loan money on Texas Sc
curities. The capitalist, taking a
gold dollar out Of his pocket, re-
piled: because you ask US to lend
you this" aud then taking a silver
half dollar out of another, con.
tinued, "and assert your right to
pay US back in this" Hogg was
crushed and could not reply.
Gonzales Inquirer: The great
misfortune of tho day is that both
men and women are DESERVING the
home. Woman is clamoring for
privilege to join man in going
away from home to work in the fac
tory, separated from her chill
dren and husband and thrown in
to the society of others, and the
rich woman goes away from her
home on her frivolus errands.
They have 100 engagements and
make believe duties and business
which take them away from home.
The contagion spreads. The dan
gerous woman is the woman with
out serious occupation. Light
literature, amateur theatricals,
soirees, should not take the place
OF earnest whole-hearted work.
The more beautiful, the more gift.
ed and the more wealthy woman
the more dangerous she is unless
she has a purpose in life.
Sabinal Sentinel: Texas will be
flooded with immigrants this year.
With fine rains, fine crops and good
times we can afford to give every
one "forty acres an a mule" Let
'em come; Texas has homes for
'em all. .-...--.
Denison Herald: Heaven knows
we have had enough Of politics for
a while. Give the people breath
ing spell, and postpone that pro-
hibition campaign to more sea-
sonable opportunity.
Galveston News: The "let US at
'em" element Of American politics
was knocked silly by the decision
Of the supreme court in the income
tax case. The effort to get at the
man OF means will now take the
form OF a clamorous demand for
fat money with which to pay
debts.
Sabinal Sentinel: 1t is impera-
tive that west Texas elect new rep
resentatives at the next election,
but the people must look we'll be-
fore they leap or the chances are
that in their haste to make a
change they will jump from the
frying-pan into the fire.
Galveston News: Men declalm
against Capitalization and the en-
croachments of the federal power
and in the next breath abuse the
supreme court for declaring uncon-
stitutional a law authorizing the
general government to chase citi-
zens regardless Of state and home
n a raid for more taxes.
Globe Democrat: Utah's new
Constitution provides for a CON-
plete system of free schools and the
Legislature is charged with their
liberal support. The new State
will start off as Republican, with
an excellent prospect Of remaining
so
Waco Morning News: II one
tenth the time and labor expended
in binding and misleading the
more ignorant Of the American
voters, was only devoted to educat-
ing and enlightening the ignorant,
the United States would soon be-
come one of the most enlightened,
prosperous and progressive nations
of the earth.
Globe Democrat: The Demo-
