new WORLD Of TEXAS
Subject Of an Illustrated Lecture BY .
Well kn0wa Traveller.

When Gilbert McClurg, the trav-
eler and lectursr. visited Waxahach-
lie some months ago he stated that
he had in preparation an illustrated
lecture of Texas. This lecture has
been completed and is now being
given by Mr.. McClurg in the north
west. He delivered the lecture be-
lore the North Dakota state normal
a few nights ago, a report of which
was given in the Times-Record of
that place as follows:
At the state normal last evening
an illustrated lecture and travel
ougue on the Brave, New World of
| Texas; the Lone Star Land of
Plenty and Fortune, was given be-
fore a very largo auu+AnA~-ku rn-
bert Mcclure, the we'll known news
paper man and lecturer. Many were
unable TO gain admittance III lhe
crowded auditorium. MI. mcclure
surprised and delighted the audience
with the remarkable number OF ex-
quisitely colored stereoptlcon VIEWS
illustrating the lecture. And the lee
ture presented word pictures OF no
less power and beauty, crystalllzinS
the centuries Of pioneer explorations
and wondrous bravery and courage
syinced in Texas under her SIX
nags-spanish, French, Mexican"
one Star Republic. Confederate
and finally the flag OF the Union.
While other lecturers have felt
called upon TO go to Japan or Rus
.ia for their subjects. Mr.. McClurS
feels that American romance, MS
tory and economics are sufficiently
interesting and of enough practical
information and value to secure at
trntion of audiences In the Ohlteu
States. and has therefore chosen 70

The new world of Texas awaits
its king-man-in a paradise gar
den. Nothing is more beautiful in
nature than spring on the Texas
prairies-crowned with red and
white mallows and blue of the buff
falo clover. Though many deriva-
tons are suggested for the word
Texas, the people are fondest of rel
egating the meaning OF Texas to an
Indian word, signifying Paradise.

my, stumbled on the dry desert near
Fort Brown. he said if he owned
Hades and Texas he said he would
rent out Texas and live in Hades.
II would not have been safe for him
to say that even then to a Texan

MONEY IN ELECTIONS.

The disclosures in the Roosevelt. Hartman quarrel have given fur ther impetus to the cause of pub licity in election expenses, and the chances are that the organizations chanpioning his policy will not find obstacles thrown in their way when congress shall convene again. Speaking recently of election money Gov. Warfeld of Maryland ridiculed the excuse politicians give for using money in hiring vehicles to haul voters to the polls:
 "People," said he, say that it is necessary to use money to get the voters to the polls. 1 think it would be much better to leave that class of voters at home and let the election be decided by the men who are patriotic enough to vote their convictions without being paid" "
 Maryland's governor is clearly right; but anomalous as il may seem the vote thus hauled to the polls in hacks is too often that of what IS called the better class of citizens. Il consists of the very busy business man aLd the very busy clerks, the one unwilling to take time to vote and the other possessed of feeling that he real ly does not own the time to get to the polls in the ordinary way.
 However, Gov. Warfield is right. The man who is not patriotic enough to get to the polls .without causing candidates to spend money on him, should be left at home. Indeed. money has no business as an influence of any sort in an cleo tion. In party affairs the party should pay necessary expenses; in election these expenses should be borne by the state. The mere fact that candidate raises money on his own behalf indicates a determinna- ton to expend it in influencing votes, and this fact alone ought to set every good citizen against him.-Commercial-Appea

Judge Yourself for Yourself.

But don't carry dignity to the other extre me and have 1t in over doses. l say, boys, you can judge for yourself when you'v been do- ing and acting about right-you just feel comfortable all through. and If someone treats you roughly you don't mind 1t when you know you re not to blame, haven t brought it on yourself.
 Another thing you eau judge yourself in is the value of yourself whether in work or play. You don't need any one to tell you if you've done your best. You know. Then set the blame or praise where it belongs; that's the only coura geous, manly thing to do. If there is blame that belongs to you, take it like man, and just try to avoid deserving it again. If you don't deserve Il protest without violence, but don't shove fault on anyone else
 Now you've got my whole story. boys. The value of sincerity that's it. It is the best paying in. ves,ment boy can make with the coin of character.-Pictorial Re. view.

foreign liquor dealers to take orders, solicit orders, through agents. circulars, post CTS, newspaper advertisements or otherwise and, in this respect, (if liquor dealers are considered citizens, though by some people, perhaps, not very desirable citizens, the Lee bill may. be classed as in conflict with the second section of the 4th Article of the Constitution of the United States:
 "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the priv ileges and immunities of citizens Tn the several states"
 The Cloud bill is better pro- hibition measure than the Lee bill, and while senator Cloud has been severely criticised by the ultra element of the prohibition ists 1t has been because they iail- ed to comprehend the full pur- port of his measure. It IS both q safer and saner measure than the Lee law, and, If enacted in it's stead will be more in the in terest of prohibition.
 The following is the full text of the Cloud bill. with the repeal ing clause omitted, and If there is anything in 1t to justify criti- cism from the most ultra prohi- bitionist, we fail to see it:
 "Section 1. It shall be unlaw- full for any person, firm, partner ship or corporation engaged in the sale of alcohol or any spirit uous, ardent, vinous. malt or fermented liquors where the same may be lawful, to solicit (take, accept or receive orders) either by agent or otherwise, for the sale of alcohol or any spirit uous. ardent, vinous, malt or fermented liquors in any place or places in this state where same is pro hibited by law.
 Sec. ?. Any person, firm, partnership or corporation vio- lating the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than 5000 nor more than S5OO."

Parties above Men.

The Clarion-Ledger is a good friend of Bryan, and regards him as the logical leader of the Demo- cracy, and 1t admires many of the acts of Roosevelt. but is not willing to admit that they possess all the intelligence, virtue and wisdom of the two great political parties, or that the..nomination of Bryan is absolutely essential to the perpet- uity of the Democracy, or that the Republican party will grow better or worse if it fails to nominate Roosevelt fer third term.
 Parties are above men, and will live after all the leaders of the day have passed to their rewards-even after Graves IS dead and forgot. ton-Jackson Clarion. Ledger.
