All Doubt DispeHed
Carnival viii be Held This Fall Sufhi-
cient Funds Can be Raised and Off,
GERS are Selected. Enthusiastic
Meeting ofBusiness Men,

The best attended and most en-
thusiastic meeting yet had in re-
gard to having the carnival this
fall was held at the office of Jack
son IL Murrah in the Landon
block last Monday night This
meeting was an adjourned meet
ing of the Business Club, called
especially to consider the carni-
val proposition in its advanced
stages. The representative BUSH
ness men of San Angelo were in
attendance and the meeting was
productive of results. The car
nival is now a certainty, all that
remains is the perfection of ar
rangements. Considering the
nature and ability of the gentle
men selected for the head of the
affair there is no need to worry
about the details. All there re-
mains in the way of planning
may be safely entrusted to their
hands and those of the men who
they may choose as their asso-
ciates.
President Geo. +. Webb of the
Business Club, called the meet
ing to order and asked for n re-
port of the committee on solicit
ing. John Freeand for that
committee reported tnat he be-
lieved the committee could easily
raise $1,000 and perhaps $500;
that the support given so far was
such as would indicate such u re-
suit; that the majority of those
already seen wanted the carnival
closer to town than former
events; that many of them want
ed the street fair attractions, and
that he as we'll as other members
of the committee believed that
the carnival of 1905 would be II
success. Mr.. Mosbacher, a mem
Der of that committee, endorsed
Mr.. Freeland's remarks.
Discussion of the different de.
tails of the carnival was then had.
This discussion was purely in
formal aud many good ideas were
brought out. Some of the speak
ers dwelt on the Importance of
haste, another suggested that the
date of the carnival and fat stock
show should be either before the
Dallas Fair or after the San An
tonic one and this was the way
the thing was discussed.
Mr.. G. B. Metcalfe thought it a
wise idea to follow the plan of
former organizations and select
president and viCe-president,
empowering the former to select
his executive board which in turn
would elect secretary, treasurer
and select other men to assist in
this important undertaking. Mr..
Metcalfe in a splendid nomina-
ton speech according to Hoyle"
placed in nomination for presi-
dent of the carnival association,
| Mr.. Claude A. Broome. Mr..
Broome was unanimously elected.
Mr.. G, B. Metcalfe was elected
first vice. president and Mr.. John
P. Lee second vice.president.
After q bit of informal discus.
sion the matter of u carnival was
turned over to the care and keep
ing of the president and vice
presidents of the carnival asso-
citation with full power to do
what they saw fit to do in each
case and with the guarantee of at
least $1,000 cash to carry OH the
work for which they had been Sc
lected.

Concerning the Carnival.

Inc people OF san Angelo want
carnival. There is no disputing
that fact. The manner in which
they have come forward to the as
sistance Of the Business Club
fully demonstrates that. And
carnival there shall be.
Now, we all have our ideas of
what this years carnival should
be. The matter has wisely been
left in the hands of those chosen
to carry out this important under
taking. No better men could be
found for the work. Claude
Broome, Chas. Metcalfe and John
Lee are always at the front in
every good thing for San Angelo.
Their efforts on this occasion will
be, as they have ever been,-for
San Angelo and best interests.
Frank Harris made the good
suggestion several weeks ago and
which will likely be followed.
A carnival with full complement
Of Street Fair attractions and
with Il Fat Stock Show, Farm Ex-
hibits and Poultry Show is the
correct idea The Press is strict
" in favor of such an entertain
ment and suggests that the dates
be arranged so that the ladies of
the Woman's Club can have their
Fall Flower Show ut the same
time. This attraction will help
out. There might be Il merchants
parade OH one of the principal
days, n Baby Show and other
things Of this nature,
But by all means let's have the
Street Fair attractions. Let the
Fine Stock and Agricultural
Shows be free to all who come.
Any entertainments given under
private auspices with Il small en-
trance fee should he encouraged.
A large crowd expects diversity
of attractions and such should be
provided.
Concerning the date Of the car
nival the Press thinks that it
should be after the Dallas and
San Antonio fairs have been
closed. Such an arrangement
would be better because it would
give some of the large breeders Of
other sections a chance to show
their herds here. There are other
advantages in this connection
which are obvious.
The Press would be glad to see
a carnival held for six days.
With ten day limit on the tick
cts will be better for the prospec-
tor and the sight seer for he will
then have chance to see the coun-
try. Attractions for a street fair
will be hard to secure for a
shorter period and such an event
means q turning loose Of money.
Whatever decision the already
chosen management may make on
any of these questions will be
satisfactory to the Press. These
suggestions are made tor the pur-
pose of getting public opinion
aroused OH the subject. But the
carnival is to bel With that
we're satisfied.

incident may be somewhat pecu-
liar, but there are others. The
editor of this paper needs bread

with his pants on, and unless

THE PARTY PLEDGE.

This is free country and ever,
voter has the right to cast his ballot
to suit himself. But when a voter
has deliberately gone into a primar,
and taken a gentleman's pledge tc
support the nominees in the general
election to follow, it is then too late
to talk about voting Independently
in that election.
Democrats who voted in the An.
gust primary cannot honorably vote
the Republican ticket in November
nor for any of the Republican candi.
dates. Nor can they In duty stay
away from the polls on election day
unless nnavoidably prevented from
going. The ballot which they csst
IN the primary was in itself pledge
to cast another ballot in the regular
election; not merely to refrain from
voting for the Republican candi-
dates, but to vote for all the Demo.
cratic candidates.
VI course, there is no way for the
party to enforce compliance, but that
makes the moral obligation only so
much the more binding. 1t becomes
a question of honor. A Democrat
may dodge and shirk, but he cannot
escape the responsibility of this self
assumed Obligation Times ID ia

TO PAY INSURANCE LOSS.

A Board of Arbitration met at
Saluda Monday and was engaged
nearly all day in adjusting the loss
of X. Ii. Dayton, of lower Middleser,
whose store and merchandise, de-
stroyed by gasoline explosion July s
last, was insured in the Northern
Neck Mutual Fire Association of Ir-
vington for 81 ,125.
The arbitrators were f. M. East
man. selected by Dayton, and Rev
G. Y. Bradley, Jr., chosen by the
Association. Messrs. A. B. & w.
ID. Evans were counsel for DAYTON,
and Frank G. Newbill for the fire
Association. General Manager w.
Med. Lee was present in the inter
est of the Association.
After hearing evidence and the
argument of counsel, the arbitrators
retired, and In less than half an hour
had reached an agreement. They
awarded Dayton $565.SO, deeming
that the just amount of loss. The
Association will promptly pay the
amount of the award.
This Is the first case for arbitra-
ton, and the second one contested
in the nine-and-a-half years of the
Associations life, the other one &C.
curing nine years ago. 10 Doth
cases the Association was held to be
liable for only one half the amount
asked.

such platform, and the Republican
leaders know it Already there is a
provision made for supplying free
books to the children of parents too
poor to purchase, be they white o.
black. Those able to purchase GER
tainly prefer buying their own
books to having books given out pro-
miscuously and free. The cost
would be the greater to them, surely.
They would, in all likelihood, have
to pay sufficient tax to cover the
needs of their own children and
those of others who now manage to
buy but would gladly avoid the ne
