The note of conservatism sounded
bv Speaker Cannon in referring to f.
nancial legislation in his address to
the Republican caucas will meet with
the approval of thoughtful people
throughout the country In spite of the
numerous demands voiced through
the press that immediate action be
taken in the matter. Any effort to
legislate expeditiously on the currency
problem would almost inevitably re-
suit in the passage of ill-adyised or
ill-considered measures. There seems
to be general belief that some legis
lation of a remedial character will be
enacted during this session but it
should be the result of due delibera-
tiop, in every way a credit to the par
ty, and not "half-baked" measure
passed under the pressure of an evan
escent emergency.

There is every indication that the
Republican majority in Congress is
likely to temper its action with excess
i've caution during this seasion be
cause of the supposed effect of any de-
cisive action upon the Presidential
campaign, and we hope that the ma,
jority will not overdo this policy. The
United States is more populous, more
active, richer, more progressive than
it ever has been before; therefore its
needs are greater and the demands
upon craftsmanship are heavier. The
people are not penurious and they will
applaud strong, decisive, constructive
work. They want many things and are
willing to pay for them, and they will
not find fault with Congress for meet
ing great needs in great way.

TINE THEATRE, TOLEDO,
OHIO. WEEK OF DEC.
SIXTEENTH,

The Valentine Theatre, Toledo, o.,
will offer during the week of Decem
ber 10th two of its foremost attrac.
tions of the season, two attractions
which should receive the unlimited
patronage of the many patrons from
out of town who will visit the city
during that week to do their Christ
mas shopping. On Thursday, Decem-
ber 18th, Raymond Hitchcock, one of
the most effective comedians on the
stage, will offer "a Yankee Tourist, -
for which Richard Harding Davis
wrote the book and Wallace Irwin the
lyrics. This musical comedy has a
record of an entire seasons run in
New York and is greeted with similar
favor everywhere it is given. The
story told is a highly amusing one,
producing many laughable complica-
tions that insure uproarous merri.
ment. Mr.. Hitchcock is a comedian
who uses realistic methods and who
never fails to gain the sympathy and
response of the audience. The com
pany is one of the most attractive
assembled for the production of a
comic opera and the performance is
certain to be one of the most delight
full ones of the season.

CAUSE OF SHOOTING.
Alleged to Have Been Due 70 Settle
ment of Estate.

Cleburne, Tex, Dec 1O.-The three
wounded persons of SATURDAYS shoot
Ing affair are resting easy. Mrs. w.
E. Mason was declared by attending
physicians Monday to have a fighting
chance for her life.
The terrible matter IS alleged to
have been the outccme cf the result of
a settlement of an estate Mrs. Ma
son, Sr.. had an estate belonging to
herself and four boys worth about
$500. All the boys except Curtis
were willing for the mother to live
upon the proceeds of the property. but
Curtis demanded a settlement. So
persistent was he that a short time
ago the $500 was turned over to him.
He went to Denver and there squan-
dered his money. He returned some
time ago and demanded more money,
but was refused. He made threats at
the time. 1T is alleged, but nothing
serious was thought of it. He came
again Thursday, demanding money
again, finally eliminating in the aw-
full deed in the dark.
The young man was caDtured Mon.
day morning at his fathers home.
near Granbury. where he was reared.
His father, who has been divorced
from his mother for some years and
lives alone, is in CIeburne now, and
called at the house of affliction.
Mrs. w. f. Mason, was a Miss Crit
finth, and has five brothers from diff
ferent parts of Johnson county are at
Cleburne.
Fearing, if their sister died. that
they might decide to take the law in
their own hands, Mason was carried
to Fort Worth by Sheriff Swofford of
Hood county. When captured he had
no pistol and made no resistance. His
first words were: How bad were
they hurt?'

A GOOD SIGN
Wilkinson's Determined Stand Against
Race Track Gambling.

In all article headed "A Good Sign
the Minden Democrat says:
In the beginning of the present c-iber-
material campaign Hon. T. S. Wilkin-
son took determined stand against
race track gambling. At first Mr.. San
ders was outspoken against the restric-
tive policy proposed by his opponent and
even sought to ridicule his attitude.
Now Mr.. Sanders has apparently been
whipped into line as is evident from the
following recent expression:
"There can be no doubt that racing
as presently carried on in this commun-
ity is demoralizing in its tendencies,
subversive of good morals and especial
ly dangerous in its effects upon the
youth of the city and State.
Sunday racing, night racing and rae
ing enterprises that operate all the year
around are intolerab1e nuisances, which
ought to find no place among an en-
lightened people.
1T behooves those who are interest
ed in racing plants in New Orleans and
throughout the State to see to it that
the sport is conducted upon clean and
honest basis, that gambling and all
other obnoxious features should be rig
idly excluded and that the business
should be so carried on as not to offend
the decency and moral sense of the peo-
pie.
Should this not be done there can
be no doubt that the people of the State
will take speedy steps to put an end
forever to racing in Louisiana. Under
proper control and regulations with the
obnoxious features eliminated and the
gambling feature cut out, racing may
continue to be one of the attractions of
New Orleans in the winter months, but
racing run mad, as has been the case in
this city during the past few years, is
certainly doomed to extinction.
Under the best conditions the people
of this community are not of one mind
as to whether or not racing is good
thing for New Orleans, but under pres
ent conditions all are of one mind that
it is bad thing for New Orleans and
for the State
The Wilkinson followers throughout
the State are jubilant at the turn of af-
fairs that compels Mr. Sanders to join
them in their demand to blot out turf
gambling in this State.
