Riley in "Show Ne" State.

During the lecture tour that
James Whitcomb Riley once made
through the state of Missouri, says
Harper's Weekly, he found him
self one day compelled to put up at
town not far from Jefferson City.
Mr.. Riley says that when, after
a hard night on a shuck mattress he
came down to the villanious smell
ing dining room, he was in
anything but cheerful frame of
mind. He seated himself at a
table opposite a rough-looking
fellow who was busily engaged in
conveying his food to his mouth
by means of his knife.
4 might have suffered this
without complaint, says Mr..
Riley, but when he began to dig
with the same knife into the dish
of butter placed upon the table for
the common use of all who might
be seated thereat, I felt that it was
my duty to offer some remon-
STRANGE.
See here!' exclaimed I in
dignantly, do you expect that
others at this table are going to
partake of that butter after you
have gouged your knife into it?'
The Stranger smiled complacent-
1y. Finally he replied.
No, sun, I do not. The fact
is, my fren, I aim to eat all that
butter myself.

Enforcing Laws.
Sherman Register.

Oftentimes there are complaints
that the laws are not enforced, and
that officers are not doing their
duty. These complaints sometimes
come from all classes of people,
who are prone to forget that the
people make the laws, and elect
the officers of the law, and that the
people can say what shall be done,
and it will be done. If we have
healthy public sentiment-if the
hearts of our people are right-we
shall have strict enforcement of
the laws, and we shall have a
prevalence of civic righteousness
that will make ours an ideal gov
eminent. We should always re-
member, however, that we make
the laws, and we make out servants
execute the law, and that the
created is never greater than the
creator-and that if the creator is
inactive and not sufficiently awake
to the demands of his citizenship,
that he cannot blame the created
if he too is lax. Again, it should
be remembered that it is not the
statute on the books that CompelS
the observance of a law, but it is
the sentiment of the people who
made the law that brings about
condition of the application of
law. Remembering that, it would
be we'll that public sentiment get
right, and then everything that
public sentiment demands will be
obtained.
If we had Our lives to live over
we would all make our mistakes
easier.
Sweet are the uses of adversely,
but like olives, it's a cultivated
taste.

ance off for eccentricity are born

Frank Kibbe, formerly of Austin,
now one of the leading lawyers of
the western section of the state and
connected with Judge James B.
Wells of Brownsville, arrived here
yesterday on business with some
of the state departments. Mr..
Kibbe said that the people in
his section of the state were
taking considerable interest in the
gubernatorial contest, and the
withdrawal of Judge Wells as a
probable candidate has consider
ably strengthened the chances of
Judge c. K Bell of Fort Worth.
In fact, Mr.. Kibbe said that in his

l. S. Reppert Declares
for Good Roads.
Editor Mt. Vernon Signal:


Editor Mt. Vernon Signal
You desire some short articles
on the good road question. Public
Spirit! Public Spirit Public Spirit
is the great sine qua non. There
is more of this needed right at Mt.
Vernon than elsewhere in thecoun
ty. At the earliest convenience
bury few of the fossils that in
vest :, our town and then a cOnven-
lent access to the county seat mag
be found. You ask short articles.
1t would take about six columns to
fully express what l think ! know
about good roads, but / am not dis
posed to waste all nv sweetness On
the desert air.
We wish To call attention to two
points that under the present law
are the cause of greatest trouble in
having good roads.
First: That eternal principle o.
graft Something for nothing. A
large per cent of overseers have NJ
county pride or public spirit; the
main idea with them is to souge
the county treasure, some how OF
some way. This is done in the hir
ing or using teams. comprOmis
ids with road hands and in various
ways a little mite can be tilched
iiOm the county.
Second: The excuses furnished
by the doctors for disability UH-
some way can be found to put a
stop to this gross abuse of medical
authority we can never reach a good
road system. Some Of Our road
divisions are almost completely
paralyzed by medical excuses. 1t
is common boast that there is no
use to work the road when you can
get demit from the doctors for so
or IS cents. This acts as two
edged weapon on the road system.
Many able bodied men are excused
by some eight by ten doctor. Other
road hands are indignant at this
injustice and refuse to work or do
inefficient work. The county au-
thorities are alive to this gross
abuse of medical privilege but seem
powerless to prevent it. We be-
Ileve true case of malpractice
could be found before the granG
jury aud should be done as the
only preventive. True. it is not
malpractice on the individual pa
tient but against the vital interest
of society as a whole body So :
