sTHE poll of delegates showed a
surprising array of federal Office
holders" says the San Antonio
Express report of the Floresville
convention. One federal district
Judge, two q. S. marshals, one
federal district attorney, three col
Iectors of customs, one deputy col
Iector, and two pGstmasters were
among the array of Uncle Sam S
employees who were present at this
convention. 1t looks as if they
were determined to elect Mr.. Scott,
even if it takes the entire force of
federal Office holders in the country
to do it. Well, it ought to take
all the "flooence" they can muster
to pull an ex-denocrat through on
a republican ticket.

The great railroad systems of
the country were built before the
days of gigantic trusts and mo-
nopOlies. The great mauufsctur-
ing and mining industries were
founded and developed when trusts
we're unheard of. 1t cannot be
shown in any way that the trust
system has aided in the develop
ment of the nations great indus
trial systems. On the contrary.
the trusts are development of
: these systems, a horde OF financierS
who have banded together to
crowd ont the small and indepen-
dent operators, taking toll for
themselves from the masses of
consumers who must use the pro-
duets OF the mills or other con-
Germs thus monopolized. The trust
magnateS are mere parasites, ut
teriy non-productive themselves,
fattening upon the surplus profits
OF all industrial concerns which
offer them opportunity. They are
a menace to the welfare of the
people, aud unless they are control
ed in time they will own The
government and the country, body
aud soul.

Wells Popularity Did 1t.

Hon. j. B. Wells was elected
chairman of the state democratic
committee over j. 4. .Cockrell by
a vote of nearly two to one. Sen
ator Joe Bailey was backing Wells
and Ex-Governor Jim HOgg was
for Cockrell. YOu can draw your
own conclusions Gazette.
The Star believes the Gazette is
mistaken in the assumption that
the differences between Hogg and
Bailey, real or fancied, cnt any
figure in the election of chairman.
Cockrell and Wells were both orig
inal Bailey men. Again there
were men oing yeoman service
for We! Yin that fight who have
no patience whatever with Joe
Bailey. The things that did the
work were Wells personal pop
ularity, his acquaintance aud favor
among the leading men of the
state and from the further fact
that be was the choice of the i'm
mediate friends of Colonel Lam
ham. 1t is a matter of courtesy
that the nominee for governor
should name the chairman, and it
perhaps would have been better 10
the first place if Colonel Lauham
IN d indicated his choice and saved

IT SEEMS that Miss Becky Taylor
formerly published letters on the
.Schley-Sampson controversy, in
which she strongly espOused the
Sampson side and upheld tie
administrations course In that
affair. Instead of being repri-
manded for publishing such art
icIes, Miss Becky was then looked
upon with approval, but when she
turned her versatile pen against
the administration in the Philip
pines question, she was uncere-
mOniOusly bounced. Miss Becky
should have been more discrininat-
ing as to whose OK she attacked.
