WILL FIGHT TO A BITTER END
Anh-Prohibition State Senators Hold
Secret Meeting at Austin.

Austin, Texas, Sept. "a secret
conference was held here yesterday
by a number of state senators of
the Thirty-first legislature at which
plans for an anti-prohibition cam
paign in the next legislature were
discussed and campaign outlined.
Some of those seen declined to
discuss the matter or to even admit
that they We're here for that pur-
! pose.
This conference coming on the
heels of the call issued from Fort
Worth for an anti-prohibition con-
vention to be held October IL, is
I considered decidedly significant.
Every senator participating in the
conference is an anti, and the ques-
! ton Is whether they will consider
the recommendations made at the
state convention as binding or not
on the prohibition issue.
1t is understood these senators
will oppose the resolution to submit
the issue to the people, but they
would not discuss their plans.
Among those here were: Senators
Paulus, Kellie, Willacy, Watson and
Onion.

MONEY ORDER FORMS STOLEN.
Theft Committed in Kansas City
Several Weeks Ago.

Postmaster w. G. McClain has
been notified that money order
forms 1854 to 10000, inclusive,
have been stolen from station II,
Kansas City, Mo-, and he has been
requested to advise merchants and
others Of the fact, the information
coming from Postoffice Inspector
Samuel Kahn Of Ell Paso.
The circular letter which Mr.. Nc
Claim has received states that twenty
of these money orders were cashed
by Ell Paso merchants on August 23
OF this year. A federal warrant has
been issued for the arrest Of the
party charged with theft.
After the form has been secured.
1t Is easy for any one to make out
money order, specifying any amount
which their fancy or desire may die
tate. While the bogus orders would
possibly be recognized by the post
Offices throughout the state at once.
it is possible for merchants and 9TH
ers to be imposed on, as was the
case with those on whom they were
passed at Ell Paso. A rubber stamp
similar to the one utilized by the
| government can be obtained with
out any trouble, hence the orders
which were presented at Ell Paso
bore every evidence of being au-
thentic and genuine, the merchants
who cashed them believing that they
were issued by the government
Postmasters In Texas have been
notified of the theft, receiving let
ter giving the Information, and it
would be we'll for Waxahachie mer-
chants who are called on to cash
money orders by strangers to inves-
tigate same before doing SO.

THUGISM RETARDS INDUSTRY.

In the nature of things habit
produces a mental bias, that re-
quireS time and intelligent effort
to eradicate.
1t is easy to think in directions
in which we are accustomed to
think, and hard to accept new doc
trlnes involving mental processes
with which the mind is unfamiliar.
The coal companies and other cor
porations in some sections of West
Virginia, have so long considered
their employees as mere chattel
commodities. that the assertion of
a contrary doctrine gives rise in
their minds to sort of "brain
Storm that nothing but the pres
sence of Baldwin thugs and the
lawless ''guards" can assauage.
When they shall have recovered
from their Authorizations, and nor
NAL conditions are restored, they
will be enabled to see that the pro
gress and welfare of their respec-
tive industries are best conserved
by Il rigid regard for the rights of
their fellowmen and the laws of
the state.
