BURGLARS AT LULING.
They Secured Lot OF Valuable
Jewelry.

Luling, Texas, September 16.-Last night
burglars broke into the office of the Luling
Record and from there smashed the parti-
ton door that leads into the jewelry store
of NJ. NJ. Gubiner. Here a wholesale rob-
berry took place-watches, fine silverware,
gold pens, several Trays, fancy articles,
light musical instruments, and, In fact
everything that is generally carried by a
jeweler and fancy goods dealer. MIR Cum
biner estimates his loss at $500 So far
there is no clew to the robbers. All OF the
fine cases containing the silverware were
left. showing that the thieves packed their
spoil as compactly as possible. This is the
fourth burglary that has taken place here
within a short time.

in so far as they make pleasant reading
because Of the wide tolerance-the naive
admiration for Mohammed which they
display. Mrs. Pennington will not find

For Sale by George NJ. West.
The author of this book, after dis
cussing his subject and presenting argu-
ments which have been answered a thou
sand times, thus sums up his conclusions:
II We reflect we'll, there is nothing more
necessary TO prevent the individual in
terest from subordnating the general
interest; there Is nothing more oriental
to secure a fairer distribution Of the
prizes of life; there IS nothing more in
dispensable TO promote tho public well
fare. to meet The demands CT the times
and give consistency TO popular govern
ment. than regulating the distribution of
wealth, and providing against Its ac-
cumulation in the hands OF The few. In
no othe rway can an equilibrium. guar
anteelng stability. be established: I'm no
other way can the irrational extremes.
immOderate extravaganza on one side and
absolute want on the other-two evils
long deplored. too long tolerated, be OBJ
waited. In no other way can the vices
to which are traceable the decline of
progress and the degeneracy Of nations
be subdued. in no other way can the area
OF prosperity expand and thus welcome
a larger body OF participants: in no other
way can the advancement. the improve
ment. moral and physical. OF the peo-
pie. be accomplished and the triumph
Of Democracy achieved.
This will Indicate the trend II
the book. which contains nothing
which is not as old as the
social problem-a problem which is now
concerning very nearly the whole world.
and which must be matter for serious
thought TO all who recognize existing
evils The fallacy OF the writer's argu-
ments Will not be admitted by many-to
us 1t seems glaringly apparent. and is a
fallacy which strikes at the root Of Con-
stitutional right and liberty.
