NORTH TEXAS POLITICAL VIEWS.
fnY aNo. D. ARM1srEApN


Dallas. Texas, July S.(Staff Special y
Hon. w, C. Wear of Hillsboro has already
announced himself candidate TO succeed
Judge h. e. Burke in congress. This of
itself insures n hot fight in the Sixth dis
trlct next year.
Mr. Wear, In his brief announcement as
published in The Post puts himself
equarely on the Chicago platform and
in line with moro recent democratic prin-
ciples as promulgated by Congressman
Bailey and other party leaders, He is OPP
posed TO expaEsion. opposed TO a bigger
army and opposed to other IDEAS advocated
by Congressman Burke during the last
session OF congress. On these issues the
fight between him and Judge Burke will
be as sharp and clear as Mr.. Wear can
make 1t.
Hon. Dudley G. Wooten of Dallas and
Hon. NJ. II. Gossett OF Kaufman are also
talked OF as entries. Either, or both, Of
these gentlemen may conclude to try to
win the prize. In any event Sixth district
politics will be considerably muddled.
~
After week OF turmoil and strife the
Kentucky democrats have done Just what
was anticipated at the beginning of the
campalgu-nouiinated William Goebel for
governor and reafirmed their faith in
and iealty TO the principles enuncated
by the National democracy in 1896.
They have done well, They have placed
a fbatr haad a 1aaA -
might well feel proud-a fighting democrat
who has come up from the ranks by the
,sheer force OF his splendid intellect and in
domitable will. who never was and never
VIII be a gutter. Born OF humble Ger
man American parentage and reared in
poverty, William Goebel has fought his
way step by step to the forefront OF Ken
tucky's public affairs Young, fearless. in
tellectual. the possibilities Of his future
are only equalled by the achievements OF
his past. He helped begin the decline OF
repubicanlsm In Kentucky and next fall
he will give the cohorts OF Bradley their
last blow.
Goebels powers and resources are so
well known that the republican nominal
tons for State offices have gone begging.
The man who will be his opponent is an
unknown lawyer in small country town.
Goebel and his associates will sweep the
state by 10000 majority. Then Kentucky's
political misfortunes will end and n
worthy successor OF Garrard. Ietcher.
Shelby and dozen other such Democratic
governors win be installed in the execu-
tive mansion at Frankfort.
Old Kentucky. you are redeeming your
self nobly! Here's TO you and your nsxt
governor. William Goebei.

HOUSTON. WEDNESDAY. IuLY 3.
TEN PAGES TODAY.
VOTE ron THE BDNDs.

The tax-paying voters OF Houston will
have on opportunity next Tuesday to vote
upon matter OF vital Importance to this
city.
This election will determine whether the
city council shall issue bonds to the
amount of 100000 for the purpose OF es-
tablishing sewerage and sanitary sys-
TEN for the city Of Houston.
The Post has already given its hearty
Endorsement OF the councils action m or
dering this election. and it believes that
the property owners OF Houston will vote
nearly unanimously in favor OF the bonds
The taxpayers OF this city certainly realize
that this is purely a business matter
one IN which no thought Of politics should
be allowed to enter.
The securing Of this municipal improve
ment viii be merely complying with the
requirements Of the United States govern
ment engineers that the city's sewerage
De diverted from BunAio bayou before the
work upon that waterway is begun. That
fact alone should be sufficient to make the
vote in favor OF the bond Issue practically
unanimous.
But there Is more than this at stake
The health of the city must be consId-
cred The process that viii be used TO
take all tie city's refuse matter and land
It five miles from the center OF the city.
where It viii be cremated. will insure the
very best sanitary conditions here. and
VIII make Houston one OF the cleanest
and healthiest cities In the world. 1t Will
give us modern sanitary appliances and
VIII inure enormously TO our credit from
every standpoint.
As a health measure such a system
would soon become an absolute necessity
regardless OF the aid it would give the
Buffalo bayou Improvement. That this
stream is constantly filled with flth un-
der our present excuse for sewerage sys-
TEN is known not only TO every citizen of
Houston. but to thousands OF people
throughout the State. 1t Is likely at any
moment to develop verltable pestilential
scourge. One epidemic here would cause
a greater injury to business and do more
TO retard the city's growth and deyelop-
ment than we could recover from In ten
years The financial loss that may re-
suit any year by allowing the city 10 re-
main surrounded with water reeking with
flth would pay for the proposed sanitary
and sewerage system ten times over.
Why. then. should any man hesitate TO
vote for bond issue that means health
and prosperity for the city? Tho slight in
crease In taxation that may be necessary
10 provide for the interest on these mar
cent forty-year bonds surely could NOT
influence any intelligent citizen to opposa
the measure. Without this system we
can not hope to better Houstons sanitary
condition. and until we make such mu-
nicipai Improvement many people and
much outside capital will hold aloof and
refuse to make Investments here.
Its adoption VIII mean progress ana nm.

time to come.
