The twice=a=week herald. (Amarillo, Tex.) 1887-1906, 1905-10-17

-one that has never spared the eX-
pedinture of money in making a
strictly high class and popular cos
mopolitan newspaper and one that
is enjoyed by the reading populace
abroad as we'll as at home.
"A newspaper with a purpose
which will be performed without
envy or fear" is the motto Of the
Record and is one that makes a
lasting impression upon the reader
in this time of political corruption
defaulting business operations anc
corrupted society.
May the Record continue to pros

A Family in Dire Need.

The Ware family corner Johnson
and seventh streets is certainly in
need of attention. Mr.. Ware is
just convalescing from an eight
week scige of slow fever, and his
wife is now stricken with typhoid
pneumonia and is in a critical con-
dition. Unles said and attention be
given at once there is small hopes
for her recovery, in fact she could
not survive many days without
careful nursing,
The immediate neighbors are al
most worn out from nursing Mr..
Ware through his long illness and
not physically able to properly care
for Mrs Ware who is so dangerous
ly low, and who needs immediate
attention.

A Texas Two Year Old.

The Sunday issue of the Fort
Worth Record was a handsome
edition of that popular metropoli-
tan Texas newspaper and repre-
sented the second anniversary Of
the establishment of the present
Record which succeeded the Regis
ter October IS, 1908.
The Sunday issue was in two
sections, containing a service equal
to any of our Southern daily pa
pers. Though in its infancy in
age the Record is by no means an
infant in circulation and distribu-
ton and is read by thousands of
people throughout the great South
west.
Fort Worth should indeed feel
proud of an institution of this kind

PAYS for Itself with one Crop.

1t is demonstrated i'll Childress
county each year that this is the
paying farming country in the
world. A case in point: A farmer
in Garden Valley purchased, last
winter, 100 acres of land from a
neighbor. On this he planted As
acres in cotton, the balance in
Kaffir corn, milo maize, etc, all of
which did well. He informed the
Index, a few days ago, that the
cotton grown on the As acres would
pay for the land, while the feed
crops would pay the expenses Of
growing all the crops. Thus, one
year crop pays for the land upor
which it was grown. Can yor
beat it?-Childres Index.

Needless Hysteria.

The esteemed VAUDEVILLE Sentinel
becomes quite hysterical over the fact
that the Journal, in alluding to some
several columns of fulsome praise
given David L. Hill by the Galveston
News. casually mentioned the fact that
that newspaper failed to furnish any
speciGc enumeration of his achieve
,nents. Thereupon, the learned edi-
tor of the Sentinel INDUCES in nearly
third of a column of mock heroics de-
Tending Mr. Hill from an alleged las
persion," and furnishing. incidentally.
a number of biographical facts con-
nected with his career. For instance.
il saws that his private life is above
rerroach: that he has been loyal to
his political convictions; that he has
been lieutenant governor and governor
of New York, and that he is il good
lawyer. If the learned editor OF the
Sentinel will thoughtfully re-read the
| editorial which it quoted from the
| kelneDec JOuIildI, iC VIII Ahi' 49,"
| we never called in question any one OF
these statements. in fact, we made no
| reference to the career of the Hon
David Z. Hill, either as a citizen, 4
politician or lawyer. We simply
noted the fact that in the several col
umns devoted to mis- praise the Gal.
weston News had failed to include his
achievements.
This is the absolute truth, as the
learned editor of the Sentinel-if M

A Maine Soma Writer.

Civil War times, "When Johnny comes

YES millions, of people generation ago.
and many a weary march by the Union
army was enlivened by those popular
airs The man who wrote them. and

c;a,tv Of the guitar and soon became
known as one Of the best performers on
That instrument in this country. He
belonged at this time to a small club of
kindred musical spirits which met in a
local barber shop and when requested
Ito compose a drinking song for the use
, OF the club he wrote the song Johnny
Fill In the Bowl" which later set to
. different words became the universally
nopu,ar when Johnny Comes March

China Enters a Mild Protest.

The report that leading Chinese
merchants ere combining to exclude
American products is not pleasant
reading. but it can hardly cause sur
nr;se in this country. Though we have
firmly and consistently stood by China
in its international troubles and
shown ourselves it's best friend among
the nations, we have nevertheless py
orr Chinese exclusion act slapped It's
face in particularly offensive way
not once but repeatedly. The Chinese
people would not be human if they did
not resent this, and the only strange
mart Of it is that they have not re-
scented it earlier and with more vlsor
than they have hitherto shown. 1t Is

borers from coming here in drones 10

most every American favors such a
law and regards 1t as necessary par
ticularly for the prosperity OF the
Pacific coast. and the Chinese officials
and merchants appreciate our point OF
view in this matter. They make nc
protest against the law itself.
But what the Chinese do object t.
is the offensive manner Of the law!

One would expect that the largest
