1868 for Dallas The argument Is stronger still when
comparison is made with Galveston The figures are
1901 30 for Houston and $25752 for Galveston last
year and si7i,676 for Galveston this year
Now this Is one of the strongest arguments against
the Stewart ticket the ticket inseperably identified
with the present city administration which is open
criticism to many other than this which
is irrefutably conspicuousy extrayagant There are
the figures They show msmanagem and wanton
extravaganza That is the main count in the indict-
ment.
. a city government more than the State or National
government is a business concern Legislation and
questions of domestic and foreign policy beyond it's
purview It's function is the economical and efficient
management of the municipal affairs which bust
ness affairs. When the municipal affairs are man.
aged economically efficiently and in businesslike
manner just with private corporation with the
city, the people, who the shareholders vote in
other administration with better business ability That
is the reason why the people will place Colonel Holt
and the his ticket in charge Of their affairs 1t
is matter of business prudence and the people of
Houston are not lacking in that quality by its exercise
in this and in other matters, the city of Houston will
attain the position that is its manifest destiny.

Mr.. Nixon Says Tammany Methods
Will BE Above Board.
Netv Yorb Sua, Special Servioe
New York. Jan. 14.-Lewis Nixon, the
new head of Tammany, made this state
ment to some of his followers:
Everything that we do here is to be done in
the open and above board. You will know
every move that is made. What we are going
to do is to build up the organization, by
attracting to it every democrat in town. In
different cases different methods will be used,
the needs Of the situation vary but the
work Of building up the machine of the demo-
cratic party in this country and in this city
is going on all the time. We are hearing all
the time Of young men who are anxious to get
into Tammany, and we are going to show
them how they can do it. l am now preparing
plan for getting young who wish to join
Tammany into the organization. ] prefer to
receive all persons who have business with
the organization at Tammany hall, rather
than at the Democratic club or any other
place. will adopt policy until I have
looked into the situation and considered the
field. I reason for secrecy about the
work of the organization. .......
All of the members Of the Greater New
York democracy and all Of the indepen-
dent democrats who have long been wait
ing for chance to get up a respectable
organization in this town, and who think
that the next primaries offer the OppOr-
tunity to do so, are as full of ginger as
they have been at any time .

Tired of Office.

Governor Savage of Nebraska Is tired
Of being governor and perfectly frank in
saying so.' He said the other day, "There
is something soothing and restful in a
barnyard. I take more pride in my
ability to guess the weight of fat hog
than in my capacity to hold the helm Of
the ship Of state.' With success comes
responsibility that often robs the posi-
ton of all pleasure. To enjoy life in any
capacity drink Golden Grain Belt beer,
for it rests the nerves and brings con-
tentment to those who use it regularly.
Every glass contains the strength of bread
and meat in liquid form, for it is brewed
from the purest barley malt and hops.
Telephone 4S6 Main and get case to-day.
You hardly realize that it is medi-
cine; when taking Carriers Little Liver
Pills; they are very small; no bad effects;
all troubles from torpid liver are relieved
by their use.

Fisherman Rescued After u Fright
full Experience on the Pacific.
Santa Barbara, Cal, Jan. .14.-Adrift on
a capsized boat in the Pacific ocean seven
teen days without food or drink was the
terrible experience of Captain Harry
Olsen and Pete Wallace, two crab fisher
men, and but one lives to tell the story
of their terrible suffering. Olsen was
picked up by Arthur Valdez, a fisherman,
just beyond the kelp off Goleta. He was
more dead than alive, but was able to
tell OF the wreck of his boat, the Belle, a
gasolene schooner which he and Wallace
used in cruising about the fishing grounds.
Olsen and Wallace were residents of San
Pedro and left the port seventeen days
ago. While cruising south Of Santa Cruz
island, a heavy sea rose and capsized
their craft. Clinging to the capsized boat
without food or water, they drifted, SUI
fering tortures. On the fourteenth day
Wallace's strength gave out and, erazed
and starving, he slid off the boat and
disappeared under the waters. For three
days longer Olsen held on before he was
rescued.
