Inc wish for harmony is likewise
said to be apparent, among the COL
|ored cohorts, for their success or
failure must ultimately. depend up
on the outcome Of the forces with
which they are identified. The Me-
groes who are not seeking harmony
are those who thrive upon turmoil
and strife, and have no concern
about the party's welfare, preferring
TO Keep up a death-dealing warfare,
~ this course, they can pick UP O
rev extra pennies. The latest exhi-
bitfon Of this. type Of assinity was
made few days ago by one Walter
5. Thomas, of Columbus, who Is re-
puted jto' earn precarious livelihood
by washing dirty political linen when
no one else can be found willing to
stulttfy their manhood by essaying
the task. In a letter to Congress, !,
man Rainey, Of Illinois. Thomas
made the surprising statement that
IL Secretary Taft is nominated 95
per cent Of the Negro voters would
either, vote the straight democratic
ticket or remain away from the polls
and thus insure the election Of the
democratic, candidate. Such an. ex-
treme and illogical utterance, so at
variance with the facts, has disgust
ed, the Negro press and Negro Lead
ers generally from ocean to ocean
that this weeks papers are filled
with contradictions Of Thomas let
ter, hatly discrediting him both as O.
man and as political prophet. Those
who were too religious to "cuss him
out" as a falstfier contented them
selves, with the suggestion that he
be prayed for as one lost to sanity
Ne more attention will be paid to
Thomas, and reference Is made here
solely to point out that extravagant
denunciation Of Secretary Taft is no
longer popular, and those who in
dulge In it are likely to find them
selves silenced by the 8agacious
leaders Of the cause they are clumBi-
ly trying to promote. ..... .
In line with the possible reconcili-
alton Of the factions in Ohio, a col
ored man Of recognized power in the
Buckeye State, calls our attention to
the moderate tone Of Senator Forak-
ter's Brownsville speech, the friendly
intercourse that is being more and
more noticeable between the follow
ers Of the Senator and the captains
Of the administration forces, and by
the respectful exchange Of courtesies
between the colored adherents Of the
two camps. Said our observing in
formant:
"If you will take the pains 70 no.
tice it, the rabid fellows who have
been charging the colored office

SOME sympathy is being wasted
upon the three American murder
ers who. through the clemency OF
the Mexican government, have
been consigned Imprisonment for
term of twenty years, instead OF
being shot. According to the testi-
mony upon which these men were
condemned, they were guilty of
murder in order to gain the insur-
ance on the lives of their victims,
and if the truth was told on them,
shooting would be too good for
heir merits. The man who COM
mits murder in anger, or for re-
venge, is noble in comparison with

THE LABORER WORTHY OF
HIS HIRE.

In these days of increasing Nv
ing expenses, and expanding needs
in every direction, people should
not forget what they owe to the
man who attends to their spiritual
needs. In other words, the minis
tiers of the Gospel should receive
an increase in their pay. IN pro-
portion to the increased pay de-
snanded and generally received IN
othe ZINES or callings. There may
be r people who think we can
get along without churches, and
more who would rather we should
do without churches than to pay
anything towards the support of a
minister, but the average man,
in this country at least, would
vote no. if there were an cleo
ton held on the question of banish1
ing the churches from the
try. But it, is sad fat that too
many people give avery grudging
support to heir minister or church,
and ye. very often are among the
Very first to condemn any short
comings of the men who serve
them in that capacity. There is
no doubt that the ministry IS I'M
derpaid, in comparison with other
callings, considering the mental
capacity and educational qualiica-
lions that minister should possess,
and it is the duty of every person
who would see the religious needs
of the country attended to proper
ly, to extend as liberal support
as they can afford to the church,
in order to insure the best mater
iaI available to for the work which
,devolves upon the church.

DEATH Of MRS. J. 1. LAISDRUM
Passed Away at San Antonio. Where
She Had Been Taken for Treatment.
Mourned Sincerely by Many.

this morning of the death of Mrs
James L. Landrum, of San Benito
this county, which occurred las
night about twelve o'clock at Sar
Antonio, where she was taker
recently, in hope that she might bs
benefited by change of climate
and also to consult medica
specialists. She had been III very
bad health for some time, however
and there was little if any hope o.
her ultimate recovery, when she
was taken away. She was ac'
companied to San Antonio by Mr.
Landrum and their three children,
besides her sister, Mrs, James A,
Browne and niece, Miss Lily Hicks
of this city, and these were at hei
bedside when the end came. The
remains will be brought to Browns
vile Sunday and the funeral will
take place from the residence OF
Miss Hicks, at ten o'clock Monday
morning.
Mrs. Frances F. Landrum was
born March 4, 1867, at Browns
vile. being the daughter of Hon.
Stephen d. Powers and Pauline,
the eldest daughter of Captain
John R. Butler. On both sides she
was descended from old and we'll
known families. Her father, Judge
Powers was for many years one of
the most prominent and successful
lawyers in South Texas, having
served as state senator and district
judge for several terms. He was
one of the ablest men of his time,
in this section. Captain Butler
was also one of the prominent
pioneers of this sectionr who stood
very high here Miss Powers
mother died when she was an
infant, and she was reared by her
Ielder sister and husband, the late
Mr.. and Mrs. B. o. Hicks of this
city. She was educated in the
Convent of the Incarnate Word
of this city. In June. 1898, she
was married by the late Rev.
Father Parisot to Mr.. James L.
Landrum, a prominent stockman
of Uvalde, who has since become
identified with this county and is
we'll known as one of the leading
ranch and stock owners here.
Three daughters born of this union
survive, namely: Pauline, Martha,
and Frances, the eldest twelve and
the youngest six years of age. Be-
sides her husband and children,
she leaves one sister, Mrs. James
A. Browne of this city, and
number of nieces and nephews, in
Guiding the families of the late DIR.
and Mrs. c. B. Combe, the latter
having been her sister, and also of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Hicks, and
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. A. Browne,
besides other near relatives.
Mrs. Landrum was woman
whose chief interests, centered in
her little home circle, and few
intimate friends. She was a loyal
Catholic, good wife and model
mother. The best testimonial to
her noble, unselfish and devoted
life is shown in the deep and abid-
ing love which is felt for her by
those who knew her best.
