THE YOUNG WARWICK
or THE TEXAS DEMOCRACY, r.. NJ.
HOUSE, TALKS
Concerning the Candidacy OF j. ID.
sayers, which He II Now Per-
sonally Mana EinE.

Mr.. =. M. House Of Austin passed through
Houston last night on his way North,
where he will remain on important busi-
ness for week or ten days.
To Post reporters query as to politics
Mr.. House said:
81 never talk for publication during Il
campaign. let the other fellow do that.
However, now that the nomination of MAJOR
Sayers Is assured, do not mind saying
that 1t means much 10 Texas--it means
economical government, the safeguarding
OF the school fund and the enforcement VI
the great laws enacted and executed under
the administrations OF Governor Hogg ana
Governor Culberson. 1t means mere than
this-it Is notice to the democracy OF the
Nation that the Chicago platform still lives
and that Texas has lined up for the great
National battle in 1904 battle fraught
with Interest to those OF us that believe In
economical government, pension reduction,
tariff reform, the subjugation OF trusts.
the settlement OF the money question ana
non-interference OF Federal authorities
with state sovereignty Upon these meas
ures Major Sayers stands as the represent
alive Of our party.
'In 1892 had the honor to serve on Gov
ernor Hogg's campaign committee. In 1871
and In 1896 acted In like capacity Tor
Governor Culberson, and re gard Joe Say
ers as their legitimate successor. believe
that he comes nearer the heart Of the great
mass Of our people than any other man.
II did not think SO | would not have un-
dertaken the direction OF his political al
fairs while he has been absent In Washing
ton
II have no selfish interosc TO serve; az
sire no office but the tenets and traditions
OF the democratic party are very precious
to me, and IL triumphant democracy rs EN-
bodied by Joseph d. Sayers and william j
Bryan may prevail In 1898 and 1909 my re
ward viii be sufficient.
"At Galveston those who believe In inc
Bryan Hogg Culberson brand OF democ'
racy will be in the saddle and a platform
will be adopted In harmony With the Views
OF our standard nearer"
In conclusion Mr. House SAID During
my absence | desire my friends and other'
to address all urgent communications 10
Mr. Joe Lee Jameson Mt Austin so az 10
insure prompt attention Mr.. Jameson i
familiar with every detail OF the cnmrais,
and from It's inception eas been the exccu-
tive officer In charge.
~ wish 10 emphasize the fact that as lal
as the friends Of Major Sayers have peer
able to make It, this has been clchn cam
paIgn free from personal abuse ana slan
der ! also desire 10 state that ncrher u
this campaign nor any other which | nave

DEFECTIVE DRAINAGE.
NEW MAIN STREET PAVEMENT a
PERFECT CATCH BASIN.
How the Defect WIS Caused ana
How II Mny he Rcmedicd-M"cn
Complaint About the Work.

The condition OF the new brick pavement
on Main street. from McGowen out Is 'oe
subject OF good deal OF complaint by cii-
gems living In that neghborhood and those
who have to mass over tho street just after
a heavy rain
The complaint is not against the pave
mont itself Int against the conditions That
prevail there after each heavy rain, the
water instead Of draining off as 1t should
makes a perfect lake of the lower end oil Inc
pavement.
A reporter for The Post asked City Engi-
neer Miller the cause OF this defect ana
how. II at all. 1t could be remedied.
.'The cause OF the trouble replied the
engineer SIS that nm error was committed
In establishing the grade level and as
consequence the water won't drain from
the street"
"Can this he remcdied?"
"Oh. yes; and expect the city VIII ap-
ply the remedy very soon The way 10 90
It will be to take up the cutters on either
side OF the street and relay them TO me
uroner grade There Is no trouble Win
Tho upper end Of the pavement. the defect
being at the end abutting McGowen ave-
niue.
"'rhere Is an eight Inch drain pipe unner
this street. but It Is simply SANITARY
drain and Is absolutely inadequate 10 ine''
the demands Of n storm water Dram rms
end Of the street will have to be drained
by surface drainage into the McGowen
avenue ditch and can only be done by TAX
ing up and relaying tho cutters for dlS-
lance Of about 500 feet.
~ had nothing TO do with the giving Of
the levels and grades lines for this pay y
mont and should not be held responsible ioi
tho defective work which viii cost the city
several hundred dollars to remedy

ever, will be the tax on bank checks. In
1871 the revenue from this source was So
3lS, 455 in the country, The tax on bank
checks in this city aiurh will probably run
up TO SO, 900 900 a year under the war rev.
enue law. From tho Rank capital tax, the
tax on foreign bills OF exchange, the tax on
the capital stock ana funded debt OF all
corporations and from oother taxes in the
financial center, II "a estimated that 81. OOO,-
900 n year will be reaised. Altogether Wall
street Will contribute something like S13,-
600, 900 a year to the war fund.
The tax of 1 cent on telephone messages
costing more than rs cents Is put on pay
messages, OF which there were 1900. 900 sent
in this city last year. The telegraph COM
panies have planned TO get even on the tax
on messages by co4ipeliing senders to put
a i-cent stamp on all messages. The tele-
phone companies are casting around for
some means Of making the public share the
added expense, but haven't devised any
scheme yet.
The tax on tobacco has been raised to 10
cents a pound. Some dealers have decided
to keep up the size of the packages and in
crease the price. others have concluded
that II will be a better game to let the
price stay where 1t is and make the pack
ages smaller. The cigar tax is not a heavy
one, and the only difference 1t will make
will be that you won't get as good a cigar
for the price as you used to.
The cigarette tax is 81 a thousand and the
public will either have to pay 6 cents for
a scent box of ten cigarettes or take a box
with fewer cigarettes at the old price. There
are over 5000, 000, 900 cigarettes made an
nually in this country, and the war revenue
on them will be about $4,000. 900. The an
nual production of tobacco is about 400, 0oo,-
600 pounds. The increased revenue on this
amount would be about $24,0 900, 900.
The tax on insurance policies, on steam
ship tickets. on express companies, on yes.
sells entering from and clearing to a for
eign port, the inheritance tax and the nu-
merous other things taxed in which New
Workers. are interested will bring this city's
share of the war tax we'll UP to $40, 900, 900,
and may carry it beyond that figure.

THE GIRL.
L. A. w, Bulletin.

" tii'Nl
This girl that I'm to write about-you
know the one | mean
The girl whom all the fellows swore was
OF womankind she seemed to me the
sweetest and the best,
And that was just percisely what she
seemed to all the rest.
Oh, my heart was stirred when I first met
And TO my gladdened eyes she seemed the
very soul of grace.
l sWore She was a gen., a rose, an angel
And all the other fellows swore the very
self-same things.
An well do remember how I yearned to
To share my lot in life with her would be
"a JOY divine.
And how ! used to wonder If she'd care to
change her name;
And all the other fellows. oh. they won
dered lust the same.
SO long as memory holds sway I never
When first ! held her hand in mlne-I seem
Its tender clasp, so soft and light, and yet
so warm and true,
And all the other fellows. oh, of course,
theI held 1t, too.
And then was after l had kissed her
fingers velvet tips
kiss her li.s!
Inc pTiGeiess boon was FAR above the
And all the other fellows got a kiss the
same as /.
And when at last the time arrived, down
on nay knees l fell.
While in my ]halting, trembling way l tried
my love to tell.
Until she spoke the gracious word my
happy life to bless,
And to the other fellows, why, she gave the
same sweet Yes"
Then to her stern papa l went to ask him
for her hand:
My knees were limp and shaking so that |
could scarcely stand.
He kindly gave his glad consent and wished
us many Joys
He did the very self-sams thing by all the
other boys.
And then, OF co~urse-you know the rest
united heart and heart,
/ promised I'd be good and kind and true
TN death do part"
And, with Gods gracious help, I'll try to
smooth her path through life,
AS every fellow will for heT-the girl he
made his wife.

The work of recruiting the Sons OF Veter-
ans regiment in Nebraska is being pushed
with great success and It is expected that
the regiment will be ready to go to the front
In a short time. Recruiting officers are at
work in all parts OF the state and are meet
Ing with great success. Although the Sons
of Veterans absolutely refused to go as part
OF the Third regiment of Nebraska volun-
teers, Governor Holcomb is very kindly dis
posed toward them and has promised to do
all in his power to have the regiment enter
the service as a unity as soon as Colonel
Bryan's regiment is sent to the front.
