The Governor of Stricken Texas

Honors are almost always accom-
panied by responsibilities, and sorrows,
impersonal in their character, some
times follow these. 1t is an honor
to hold the responsible position Of gov
ernor Of the great state Of Texas, but
the incumbent, Hon Joseph d. Sayers,
is sorrowing man. A great calamity
has visited his beloved state. One Of
her handsomest and most prosperous
cities lies stricken, MANNED and Grip

The Possum party, with its founda-

firmly anchored as the rock of Gibraltar
when the Saturday night meeting opened
and a multitude of black faces were
turned toward the platform to catch the
first glimpse of Judge johnson Cabiff of
Georgia, who had been advertised to de-
liver "a hurricane address," There were
individuals among the audience who
knew that North America was to be
wrenched and twisted and tied up in
knots within the next hour, but they
stared ahead and made no sign. A con-
spiracy had been entered into to wreck q
republic, twist the neck of a nation and
bury honor and patriotism under a mound
of infamy, but the great majority saw no
signal of danger.
AS the bells were tolling the hour of s

introduced the judge to the audience. He
referred to him as n patriot, a scholar
and philosopher and expressed the live

come forward to cast his lot with the

Everybody's proud of this sort of
Grandpa, and he's proud of himself;
proud of his clear brain and active body.
There are other kinds of grandparents
that we can't be proud of. Weak of
body and feeble of mind, we can only
pity them. They no more live; they
only exist. What makes the difference
between these two classes of old men?
A sound stomach and plentiful sup
ply of pure, rich blood. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery strength
ems the stomach, purifes the blood,
and increases the activity of the blood
making glands. 1t won't make old
men young, but it will enable old men
TO assimilate the food they eat, and
so strengthen them for life of rea-
sonable exertion.

Thousands of Texans have fallen to
rise no more in the sunny cline of the
Lone Star State, wives are widowed,
husbands have lost their best loved,
little children have been orphaned and
the great heart of Texas Is sad and
sore. But a nation has extended It's
sympathy to stricken daughter of the
family Of states, and all that man can
do to assuage grief and repair damage
is being done And 1t Is through her
governor that Texas is today receiving
the evidences OF the whole country's
sympathy and eagerness to help. The
present position Of Governor Sayers is
indeed one that calls for the display Of
the better qualities of man.
An illustration Of the new lights
which science throws upon old qucs.

experiment made nearly three centu-

he willow had gained 164 pounds In
Weight. while the earth In the pot had

Merely a Party Faction.

Theae is nothing wrong about
s'imperialism. On the contrary,
there is everything in it that is
right. It is the rule of those who
are ittest to rule. and therefore we
ought to rule. Ask the democrats
Of North Carolina, who have just
thrown the negro out There is
government without the consent Of
the governed. Mr.. Bryan will
never utter word Of disapproval.
Any doctrine that is good enough
for North Carolina, for Mississippi,
for Louisiana and the whole group
Of our free, intelligent and highly
developed southern states should
be good enough for the Philippine
islands.
Consent Of the governed is
merely sentimental theory
never was anything else, never can
be. Now and then the world has
a touch of this theory or vagary,
as our country had when it gave
the suffrage to the negro; but this
sort Of thing, after while, always
corrects itself.
The Filipinos are no more TT
less ft--to be entrusted with polit-
ical responsibility than the negroes
of our southern states, whom Mr..
Bryan's party, with full approval,
has cut off from participation in
government. There is not per.
son on earth who does not know
that our eight millions of negroes
are far better qualified for political
functions than the eight millions
of Filipinos.
Hence, though our democratic
brethren are shrieking about "im-
perialism," it is not probable their
feelings will be much hurt, in fact,
if the "niggers' of the Philippines
got the same treatment which they
accord to the ''niggers" of North
Carolina and the southern states
generally. It is not that the glor-
ious doctrine of consent of the
governed" is imperiied that worries
