ADDRESS TO DEMOCRATS
Statement Issued by Supporters
OF the Willacy Bill.

The following address, issued by
the nti-prohibitionists of Texas,
was published in the Dallas News
Sunday:
After a session lasting nearly two
days friends of the bill introduced
in the last legislature by John G.
Willacy of Portland relative to To-
cal option, representing as COM
mittee all the congressional dis
tricts of the state, adjourned last
night. The meetings were held be-
hind closed doors and were presided
over by w. NJ. G. Hill of Dallas.
At the close of the meeting late
yesterday afternoon they gave out a
| statement which had been prepared
and addressed to the democrats OF
Texas. This is self-explan atory
and follows:
To the democrats of Texas: We,
the undersigned democratic citizens
and property owners of Texas, be-
lieve that Just laws, bearing equally
upon all, is basic principle of free
government.
We therefore declare our opposi-
ton to the unequal and unjust pro-
visions of our local option laws and
to the purposes of the political party
that is seeking by these laws to
force prohibition upon our state.
We assert the manifest uni stice
in the inequ atty of the local option
laws now in force, which permit
those favoring prohibition to hold
elections every thirty DAYS. while
denying the right of election to
those opposed to prohibition, except
once in two years. We favor an
amendment to said laws, so that
exact and equal privileges shall be
granted to both parties to the issue,
that all may stand alike before the
| law.
These Laws are unjust in that they
permit citizens in a local option pre-
cinct, by their votes, to force upon
citizens of another precinct theory
of moral and social conduct repug-
nant to them.
| Laws that attempt to regulate
peoples habits, forced upon a COM
munity by unfair methods, become
odious to the public, beget disre-
spect for law, and create a senti-
ment against governmental authori-
ty-conditions that are demoralizing
to society, undemecratic and repug-
nant to American civilization.
| Frequent agitation, made possible
by such laws, unsetue business
impair valtfes and dyRinish the
/ public revenue to such an extent
that the rate of taxation upon prop
| erty must be increased.
( We are not opposed to local option
and accept it as well as a well-defin-
cd principle Of local self govern
ment; but believe it should be what
/ it's name implies.
We favor obedience to and en-
forcement of all laws.
For the success of the foregoing
principles we confidently appeal to
the enlightened citizenship of our
great state, believing that their
sense of justice will induce them to
remove the wrong and establish the
right.

What are presumably the largest
string beans in the world may be seen
growing in the gardens of a resident OF
Pasadena, Cal. They range from 30 tc
43 inches in length and average half an
inch in width. They are not only enor-
mously large, but they make delightful
table delicacy when cut and stewed and
prepared with cream and butter. The
vines bear profusely and the beans are SC
large that one Of them is more than q
single person can comfortably manage.
These beans are, of the aristocratid
species and do not claim alliance with
the common string bean. California
b~otanists class them as belonging to the
genus Dolichos, but ewing to their great
length they are more popularity known
as yard beans" The plants are natives
of China and Japan and the seeds werf
sent to California from japan.

Sidc-Door Cars.

A new type of side-dcor passenger
car has recently been put into use for
suburban traffic on the Illinois Central
railroad. There are ~ sliding doors
on each side of the car, every door be-
ing opposite to a section of eight seats
running crosswise, with aisles on each
side just within the doors, running the
entire length of the car. The opening
and shutting of the doors are effected
by mechanism concealed in the side
walls, and under the control Of the
trainman in charge of the car. The
doors a be opened or closed all to-
gether or separately, as may be desired.
1t is claimed for the new cars that they
prevent crowding of passengers on the
waiting platforms. while they can be
loaded or unloaded with great rapidity
Their carrying capacity is also greater
than that of the standard end-door car.

ing al Meeting Of

phone Company a telephone franchise,
in the borough, was given its fist
reading and was laid over until next

that the liability, if any, rested with
the parties who had made the appro-
priation. Mr.. HilIman declared that
the hiring of the i~nterDreter had been
unwarranted and further stated that
there were seventy unassessed proper
ties in the borough, whose illegal ex-
emptions he meant to make public.

assessor was negligent and did not
even earn his salary. Mr.. Gordon
said that the collector should assess
properties not assessed by the assessor.

placed on file from the Central N. J.
Telephone Co., in regard to the in
stallation of telephones.

Birds Remarkable Power.

Mr.. j. Lancaster, an American natu-
ralist, who spent five years on the west
coast of Florida studying birds there,
came to the conclusion that, of all
feathered tenants of the air, the frig-
ate-bird can fly the longest without
resting. He has seen one flying for a
whole week, night and day, without re-
pose. The frigate-bird can feed. col
lect material for its nest. and even
sleep on the wing. The spread of the
frigate-bird's wings is very great, and
it can fly at a speed Of 96 miles an hour
without seeming to flap its wings very
much.
