But yet it will go.
The saloon must go,
Though the drunkard says no.
For blear-eyed and wretched he hugs his

While each year more hardened and shame

Or the children and wives,
They cause all the sorrow, the hunger and

CHEAP STOCK SCALE.
How One Farmer Keeps Track of
How Much His Hogs Gain

In weighing hogs | use a crate made
of 1X4 slabs, with a gate at each end. I

Rev. Charles Stuer, pastor of the ST.
Bravo Flemish church of Mishawaka,

of saloon keepers who do not respect
the law. One erring saloon keeper, who
boosted that he rented tive pews in the
Flemish church and did not wish to be-
disturbed, promptly had his money re-
turned by the pastor.

REAGAN IN PESSIMISTIC MOOD.
Predicts the Downfall of the Republic
Monarchy to Follow,

A special from the New York World from
Dallas. Tex, yesterday says:
John II. Reagan, postmaster general OF
the confederacy, and the sole survivor Of
Jefferson Davis cabinet who celebrated his
eighty-fifth birthday last Thursday, in an
interview today said:
Il feel that the American republic Is
doomed In that event Texas is the hope Of
the people for free. representative govern
ment Some day there will be at least
thirty million more people in this state than
there are now. / do not want Texas to be
divided.
when Texas was admitted into the
Union the right was reserved to make five
states of the territory embraced in Texas
That should never be done. | do not base
my opposition upon the pride that all Tex
ans have in the territorial greatness of
their state. The reason Texas must never
be divided is this: There can be but two
kinds of republics, the confederation of
states and the centralized government, the
latter of which becomes nothing in the end
but a monarchy.
The United States is drifting rapidly into
a monarchical form Of government. 1t is
not even now governed by men. 1t is con-
cial interests is paramount to the power OF
the people The result will be the dissolu-
ton OF the confederacy of states, or a mon
archical form of government. l want Texas
to be big enough 70 stand alone when the
dissolution of the Union shall come. That
