question of Monday as to why the
twice defeated candidate came to

would make them promising can

lie is bound that no other dem
ocrat shall succeed where he
failed. He would either rule or
ruin.
-Four years ago Mr.. Bryan ruled
and ruined. He certainly will
not rule this year. The Indications
multiply that he will not have
the power to ruin.-New York
World.
The World is one of those old
time democratic papers which re-
fused to support Bryan. Now
that Bryan proposes to encom-
pass the defeat of the party which
twice honored him as its presi-
Dental candidate, it begins to
look as if those boilers of two
campaigns were gifted with a
sight into the future. The party
must be united.

St. Louis convention concludes
its labors.
We have departed from our
liberality aud have surrendered
that feature TO "the enemy"
whose first years of party life
were spent in pickering and party
strife. During the campaign we
will find fellow.democrats abus-
ing their political brethren. If
we win, and the chances are large
ly in our favor, we will still con-
tinue to fight amongst ourselves
The true spirit would be party
harmony. Yet how little have
we to hope for in this regard
Whenever the democratic party,
as a political organization, comes
TO the point whore it can see and
correct its own faults, and shall
present u united and solid battle
front TO the enemy, then will its
chances OF success be greatly in
creased. 1t is Go be hoped that

Double Daily Passenger Service.

There are rumors in railroad
circles to the effect that double
daily passenger service for San
Angelo is being planned.
San Angelo IS handicapped for
lack of railway communication
with the outside world. As far a.
the long distance travel is con-
Cerned, one train II day is amply
sufficient to handle the business.
This is as true regarding Brown
wood and points beyond as it is Of
that territory west of Brentwood.
If that territory on the east end
of the branch needs double
daily passenger service how much
more so is the need 2f "from
Brentwood vest.
San Angelo needs better train
service on the western end. Not
only is this true of San Angelo
but of Miles, Ballinger, Coleman,
Santa Anna and even Brentwood.
There are ten people Interested
in West Texas now where there
was one five years ago. There are
ten people coming west today
where one came four years ago.
The San Angelo, Miles and Bal
lnger country il before the eyes
Of the world. It's wonderful re-
sources are talked of even into
foreign countries. If u double
daily train service IN the east end
of the Santa Fe branch gets one
passenger, that portion west of
Brentwood would get three.
How, then, can the Santa Fe
people remain blind to their own
best interests and to those of this
vast section with which the San
ia Fe railway is so intimately
connected?
Let's hope that there may be a
grain of truth in this double daily
passenger rumor and let's do
what we can to bring it to a hap
py realization. Every man should
be interested whether he is or no,
and every man should do his best.

Hon. George Clark, "Ihe Little

News.
This idea that a fellow citizen,

YOU do, is all wrong, corrupt and
q schemer, simply because his
party views do not coincide with
your own is a mistaken one.
Originally the democratic party
was noted for its brOadness Of
spirit and llberality of mind.
The independent voter today, and
his number is annually increasing,
has come to look upon the demo
cratic party as one of discord and
internal strife. And, in the
light of recent campaigns, shall
we say he is wrong? The repub

Carrying Weapons.

III pa,o News.
Ordinarily there is no good
reason why u private citizen
should carry concealed weapons
within the corporate limits of the
towns and cities of this country,
and every adult person in full
possession of his faculties ought
TO realize the foolishness and
danger of it. But nevertheless 1T
is quite q common thing for men
to go equipped for hostile action,
in spite of the laws and ordin-
ances which make the practice
illegal. The offenders usually
can give no reason for armlng
themselves, except it be vague
fear of being held up by a high
wayman or assaulted by some
enemy with personal grieve-
ance.
But none of these reasons is
wholly sufficient under the law,
while rs matter of actual eX-
perience it is well known that the
man who looks for trouble is the
one most likely to find it, says
the Kansas City Journal. Keep
unarmed and 90 unframed, is the
advice of the police and the best
authority on crimnolngy. One
who is not prepared to protect
himself is apt to stay away from
the dark corners of n city where
danger turks. Furthermore, in
case of an encounter with foot
pad or thug the chances of escap-
ing safe and sound are better
where no resistance is made In
such a predicament discretion is
the better part of valor, and
pride and courage may be laid
aside for the time being without
any loss of honor A gentleman
who is held up may well consider
that his life is more valuable to
those depending on him than the
few dollars and other valuables
he is required to surrender. To
clay" for an enemy or to be pre-
pared to meet his assault with
equal force is looked upon as an
evidence of bravery among GER
tain class and in certain locali-
ties; but whenever bloodshed re-
suits in such encounters the
murderer when he comes TO his
senses is usually quick to lament
the fatality and condemn himself
for his crime. 1t is far better to
90 unrevenged than to go through
life with tortured conscience,
There are but few wrongs which
Justify manslaughter, and surely
II business difficulty or misunder-
standing is not one Of them.
lack Muihall, who shot three
men on the Pike at St. Louis last
Saturday evening, if he had it to
do over again, would no doubt
gladly let the wrong he felt or
imagined go unrevenged. Null
hall is known as a big, brave, and
generous fellow. No one would
have thought the less of him if he
had not resorted to violence to
maintain his rights. He now has
become the victim, as we'll as the
champion, of custom which
ought to be vigorously sup
pressed. No one should carry
concealed weapons, but least of
