The FL Paso Times has poor opinion OF
Grandma Otis when 1t remarks that:
Twenty thousand cowboys from the West
could end the war In the Philippines In short
cider The cowboys might not have much
red tape and would not need General Otis To
tell them how to advance. The only order
the cowboys would need would be an order TO
md tho Filipinos,
But there is no danger of such force be-
ing sent there. There would be no room Tor
the appointment OF political nincompoops and
sons OF fathers After few years expert
ence in the Philippines. however, there may be
change.
The Schulenburg Sucker says;
That's some more OF the Mckinley prosper
ity--cotton ties going up 30 cents a bundle in
one week. and cotton Is still at cents.

southern and Western States And yet II tho
great Texas iron fields were developed there
would be some relief TO the Texas farmer.

and for every vacancy there are score of
applicants
While the question OF good roads is before
the public the Denton News rises to remark;
Are you saying anything about Improving
me roads leading Into Denton? It's soon GO
ING to be too late for talk. The time for ac-
ton is right here and IL is one OF the times
when It will probably take money to talk
Yes 1t will take money to make good roads,
but the money invested yields an enormous
interest and the returns arc quick.
