has been made of one of the
tickets, and as soon as a cut is
made we will publish it. Before
we complete a course Of photo
graphs we have if there is any
body in Tyler county that is
doubtful about the primary here
being conducted on revenue ba-
sis only, we think they will be
satisfied they are wrong. By the
Red Ticket business we simply
mean that the colored voters OF
this city, and some not colored,
were bought and sold at so much
a vote. 1t is generally believed
enough voters were bought by the
use of ale, beer, whiskey and
drinks of like nature together
with so much cash, that resulted
in nominating the present county
ticket. There is no question IN
our minds that this manipulation
nominated Hill. 1t came very
near it if it did not quite nomi-
nate Shriver. Do you believe in
electing men to office who sign a
solemn contract to not use these
means to secure the nomination,
and then accept a nomination Sc
cured by such means9 OF course
all candidates deny they used
these means, and admit this is all
true-it's hardly probable their
friends and supporters would
spend their time and money to
elect them all for nothing. They
should refuse to accept nomina-
ton secured in such a way. We
understand one of the nominees
will decline to accept the nominal
ton because it was made in this
unfair manner. The issue before
the people is very simple one.
It's not a question of democracy
or republicanism. It's this:
Will you vote in November to
retain in power men who believe
in such corrupt politics? Ii you
believe in buying votes with
whiskey and money, vote for the
county Republican nominees. If
you do not-then vote the other
ticket. That is the issue. In con-
versation with a gentleman a few
days since who was a Republican
leader in this county for many
years. he stated that he knew that
for years and years the Republi-
can conventions and primaries IN
this county did not cost a penny
more than the printing of tickets,
pay to poll clerks and commits
sioners. In those days merit and
worth counted. Under the pres
ent system it's a question OF dol
lars and corruption. Merit and
true worth count but naught. You
must either resort to all the cor
rupt means known to modern pol
tiles or 90 down to defeat. Not
only that, but after you are
elected, you must follow the die
tates of the county bosses or be
forever ostracizad and give up all
hopes of ever hiding another OF
flee. Which SIDE are you for!

DEPRESSION IN ENGLAND.
Banking Companies and Industrial
Concerns Complain Of Lack
Of Money.

The London Daily Mail has recently
been publishing an interesting series OF
articles on the general want Ell money in
&he country. Throughout the whole Of
the present year banking companies,
railway companies and industrial cor
Germs generally have been complaining
Of the depressed condition Of trade, OF
the diminished spending power OF the
community, and of the economical spir-
it abroad which has adversely affected
nearly every industry in the land. -
the southwest Of England the stagnancy
of industry and the steady shrinKage OF
business ii seen on every side. me
complaints FROM one and all are melan-
choly Business is bad, desperately bad,
and in describing the prevailing condl-
tions use almost verbatim the Ian
guage OF the writer In the great London
daily.
This prevalent epidemic Of poverty,
continues the Mail. t.is ascribed to Varl-
Gus causes BY various authorities, but
no one denies that it exists. The chair
man of the Financial Times indeed as
serts that the past two years have been
worse than those which followed the
Barring crisis, while Sir William Ingram
tells us that he can scarcely remember
any one year to be compared with last
year Yet ghere is no real ground for
surprise at what is happening. In the
first place, foreign competition has If
creased and is increasing to degree
which menaces the stability Of British
industry. Strongly intrenched behind
his own tariff wall, the foreign manu-
facturer and producer is destroying
British trade What We used to make at
home we now buy abroad: the money
which used ia be invested at home IN
British industry is now invested In
other lands, where tariff gives secur-
ity; the money that used to circulate
from hand to hand in this country leaves
it for Germany or the United States.
"Concurrently with this great devel-
opment OF foreign competition we have
had heavy borrowing TO pay for the war
and, over and above that, heavy borrow
ing for various municipal enterprises
These vast expenditures By English
municipalities have rot been SO success
full as was reasonably expected. In
many instances the national govern
ment has had to step in and arbitrarily
take over the management of affairs.
This has just happened at Plymouth.
Further drafts are constantly being
made upon the already overburdened
taxpayers. Expenditures must continue,
and only legislation Of the most sweep
ing character can bring better condi-
tons.

PREVENTING HYDRoPHoBIA.
The Value of Vaccination Is Becom-
ing More Fully Recognized
in Germany.

Pasteurs vaccination method for the
prevention of hydrophobia lsl people
bitten by mad dogs is employed at the
institute for infectious diseases at Ber-
lin. The "Cultus" ministry has just
published statement with reference
to the cases of persons bitten by mad
dogs which have come to the knowledge
of the authorities during 1903, and which
permit a judgment on the merits of
such vaccination based upon authentic
facts
In the year 1908 307 persons were bit
ten by 194 mad dogs Or dogs suspected
of madness: in 40 of these dogs hydro
ptobia was afterward proved beyond a
doubt, while 13 were found to be
healthy; the rest could not be exam
ined. The 3O7 persons lived ID eight
different pFoyinees-226 of them in
eastern Prussia, western East Prussia
and Silesia. which are close to Russia.
Thus Russia is again shown to be the
breeding place of this plague. OF those
bitten, 2s1 proceeded 10 the institute
for infectious diseases and were yaccin-
ated. -Four of them died of hydropho-
bia and one recovered after a slight at
tack. Deaths took place on the thirty
eighth, fifty-sixth. one hundred and
tenth. and one hundred and thirty-fifth
day, respectively, after the bite.
Vaccination haa not proved an abso-
lutely certain remedy, even when APP
piled right after the bite. The statis-
tics show, however, that OF 2S1 persons
Vaecinated only four died, that is, one
and one-half per cent; while Of those
not vaceinated but treated medically
six per cent. died. and of those neither
yaceinated nor treated IL per cent died
In view of these figures, the state
ment proceeds, ut is earnestly to be
recommended that all persons having
the misfortune to be bitten by dogs
either mad or suspected of madness at
once submit to vaccination The value
OF such vaccination is being more and
more recognized. During the last six
years the percentages of persons bitten
who submitted to vaccination were %,
80, SD, rs, 80 and 80, respectively. and
ii is to be hoped that in the future every
bitten person will avail oneself of it,
