For the purpose Of carrying out
the nefarious schemes that marked
the terrible days Of the Reconstruc-
ton Period, the Republicans fastened
negro suffrage upon q free people.
Ii was 70 further evil designs that
their votes were legalized, although
there was hardly q statesman of the
dominant party who did not oppose
the act. Yet today, when there is
an opportunity TO wipe the vicious
effects OF q war measure from our
statute books, we are confronted by
an opposition that has only the sell
fish ends that justified the reign of
bayonets in the days that followed
the Civil war.
This opposition sees no further
than the opportunity Of filing few
psltry Offices and whose highest test
Of craftsmanship is the division of
the spoils Of Office holding. Vote
for the suffrage amendment and thus
surround the ballot with the sacred
ness with which it was cherished
by our ancestors. The Caucasian
blood always has and will rule. and
the coalition with the negro brings
about unnatural conditions, that In
the end, bode evil for every civil in
stitution. -Egis and Inteliigencer.

One Of the most peculiar trades on
record took place here several days
ago. A onelegged man named
James Bruner was standing on the
Mercer National Bank corner, when
another fellow afflicted in q like
manner came swinging across the
street on his crutches. He paused
before the first man, and eying him
quizically, remarked: Say, part
ner, let's 60 up street and buy US q
pair of shoes" As one man had
lost his right leg and the other his
left, they hobbled mp to the shoe
store and got fitted with q shoe
apiece. Then each fellow paid his
half of the bill, and the two men
with q pair Of shoes between them
went on their ways rejoicing.-Har-

THOMAS DavtuSons OF the Adir0n
dacks, Is dead, but he:has left 20 lifs
maxims for those who may wish d
follow his footsteps.
These maxims are:
First-Rely upon your own sner
gies, and do not wait for or depend
On other people.
Seeond-Cling with oil your might
to your own highest ideals. and dc
not be led astray by such vulgar
aims as wealth, petition, popularity.
Be yourself.
Third-Your worth consists In
what You are. and not in what you
have What you are will show In
what you do.
Fourth-Neser fret. repine or en-
w. Do not make yourself unhappy
by comparing your circumstances
with those OF more fortunate people;
but make the most of the opportuni.
ties you have. Employ probably
every moment.
Fffth-Associate with the noblest
people you can tind; read the best
books; live with the mighty. But
learn to be happy alone.
Sixth-Do not believe that all
greatness and heroism are in the
past. Learn to discover princes,
prophets, heroes and saints among
the people about you. Be assured
they are there.
Seventh-Be on earth what good
people hope TO be in heaven.
Eighth-Cultivate ideal friend
ships, and gather into an intimate
circle all your acquaintances who
are hungering for truth and right.
Remember that heaven itself can be
nothing but the intimacy of pure and
noble souls.
Ninth-Do not shrink from any
useful or kindly act, however hard
or repellent it may be. The worth
of acts is measured by the spirit in
which they are performed.
Tenth-If the world despise you
because you do not follow its ways,
pay no heed to it. But be sure your
way is right.
Eleventh-If q thousand plans
fail. be not disheartened. AS long
as your purposes are right you have
not failed.
Twelfth-Examine yourself every
night, and see whether you have
progressed in knowledge, sympathy
and helpfulness during the day.
Count every day loss in which no
progress has been made.
Thirteenth-Seek employment in
energy, not in dalliance. Our worth
is measured solely by what we do.
Fourteenth-Let not your good
ness be professional; let it be the
simple, natural outcome of your char
acter. Therefore, cultivate charac-
ter.
Fifteenth-If you do wrong, say
SO, and make what atonement you
can. That is true nobleness. Have
no moral debts.
Sixteenth-When in doubt how to
act, ask yourself. What does nObil-
ity commaRd2 Be on good terms
with yourself.
Seventeenth-Look for no reward
for goodness but for goodness itself.
Remember heaven and hell are ut
terly immoral institutions il they are
meant as reward and punishment.
Eighteenth-Give whatever coun.
tenance and help you can to every
movement and institution that is
working for good. Be not sectarian.
Nineteenth-Wear no placards.
within or without. Be human fully.
Twentieth-Never be satisfied un-
til you have understood the meaning
OF the world, and the purpose OF our
own life.

ELKS SELECT ROUTE
VIII Travel over Katy and Central
to Buffalo in July.

The state committee of the Texas
army of Elks on transportation to the
national meeting at Buffalo in July
met in Houston Saturday and with
them were gathered representatives
OF a dozen different rail lines. The
representatives submitted bids in
turns. The committee was in execu-
tive session in the Elks' club quar-
ters and the railroads took turns at
going before them and making offers
on behalf of their lines.
Two sessions were held, one morn
ing and one evening The decision
was made at the latter. It is that
the Katy and the Houston and Texas
Central are the official routes from
Texas to St. Louis and the Big Four
from St Louis to Buffalo. On the re-
turn from Buffalo the route will be
by Chicago and thence over the Chi
cago and Alton to St Louis.
There was considerable rivalry at
the meeting among the bidding rail
representatives. While the official
route is as designated, other combiu-
