PIONEER DAYS RECALLED,
Jack Parsons Touring State in a
Prairie Schooner


San Antonio, Jan 3l.--~Pioneer
days were vividly recalled in San
Antonio today when Jack Parsons
of the Red river country in Oklaho-
ma below Denison drove through
the city in an old fashioned prairie
schooner. followed by another of the
same type. Parsons had already
made the trip through this part of
the state on an ordinary railroad
and decided that he wanted to settle
hereabouts. You can't see what a
country really is like on train of
cars" said Jack. so / Jest went
home, got the old woman and the
kids, and couple of wagons and
set out to see things for myself |

know this climate and land is all
right. | calculate on getting the
right spot and settling down for
good and all to get rich In addi-
ton to his wife and the kids, Jack
had with him a pair of husky neph-
ews, and a miscellaneous outfit of
farming implements. None of the
party or the horses looked the
worse for their long trip across the

BREEDING POLO PONIES.
An Industry That Is Proving Quite
Profitable

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 31.-
Breeding polo ponies and training
them for use Is one of the unique
and profitable Industries of this city.
Two large polo ranches are situated
in the suburbs of San Antonio and
do thriving business with the win
ter tourists. The ponies are trained
by cowboys who are the finest horse
men In the world and as they play
one or two games of polo every day
in the winter some of them are won
derfully expert. The ponies are bred
on the ranches and are bought from
other ranches. The polo pony is a
special animal generally got by
breeding up the Texas cayuse. This
cayuse or wild horse of the plains
is descended from the Moorish and
Arabian horses brought over by Cor

istence in the wilds has robbed them
of their beauty, when properly cared

Z feel that the country is indeed to be congratulated upon the
Romination of Mr. Taft. I have known him intimately for many years
enA I have a peculiar feeling for him, because Throughout that time
y worked for the san object, with the same purposes and ideals.
I % not believe there could be found in all the country a man
% well atted to be President.
He n not emily absolutely fearless, absolutely dsinterested and up
right, but 10 has the widest acquaintance with the nations needs, with
eat and within. and the broadcast sympathies with all our citizens.
He woua be IS smphaticaly a President of the plain people as

He has . peculiar and intimate knowledge of and sympathy with

No matter what a mans occupation or social position, n o matter
What his creed, his color, o the section of the country from which he
comes, IL he is an honest, hard working man who tries to do his duty
toward his nsighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that
he will have In Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the
most fearless Of champions.
Mr.. Taft stands against privileges and he stands pre- eminently for
the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the founda-
tin of u national well being.

chaos, lf he should begin by repeating
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
finances by losing $G0,O00,O0O a year
In revenues, and would stir up n revo-
luton in Louisiana, Utah, Colorado
and Michigan. Then, If he should re-
peal the duty on cotton goods, because
some hustllng manufacturers of New
England or the Carolinas were dump
ing goods In China In rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury and
invite still further Industrial ruin.
But, Of course, Mr.. Bryan would do
none of these things, any more than
he will invade the solid South and sum-
mon the cohorts OF Democracy to the
defence Of the Constitution with the
battle cry "Shall the People ltule?'
Mr.. Bryan simply does not mean what
he says. What he utters with Chad
bendlan JUNCTION in the North he repudi-
ates with Pecksniflian dupllclty In the
South.

The word is being passed
around among church people
that Taft is an infidel, whereas
Bryan is an active churchman,
The constitution of this country

liberties. The voters Of course
can vote for whom they Please.
VIM. II. Taft is a member of the
Unitarian church which branched
from the Congregationalist. The
church is liberal in it's views and
there is no membership test, 50
that it's members may be devoted
Christians or indifferent in their
religious life. We are reliably
informed that Mr.. Taft is n
Christian and in this regard IN

B0UTELL ON BRYAN.
In His "Shall the People Rulee"
Simply "a Local IssueP"

Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
tell of Chicago, commenting ON Mr..
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says:
Mr.. Bryan's question, "Shall the peo-
pie rule?" implies that somewhere In
this country the people do not rule.
The only States where the people do
not rule are the States that are ex-
pected to give overwhelming maJorlties
for the democratic ticket. Perhaps
MIR. Bryan thinks that his question 10

Let him suggest that we have as chair

In Vicksburg, If lie shall have escaped
the rule of the people in that com
munity, l dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
his grafton on popular government in
Charleston, S. c., with Senator Till

Bryan's sentiments have a purely geo.
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de-
signed to meet local demands. OF this
nature are all his views Oh tariff and
taxation.
Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
time a trust is formed a tariff sched-
ule should be repealed, and every time
a trust is dissolved a new duty should
be added, is too funny ever for comic
opera.

put md we were nearing a bet
ter state politically. He con-
trasted our country with Eng
and where the Conservative
party stood for the old state OF
affairs and the Liberals for a
change or reform and said that
the elections are carried on on a
strictly merit basis.
Wilbur +. Maring, candidate
for State treasurer, made the
first t8!k He said the Demo-
Gratis are always throwing up
the fact now that, th, Republi-
cans have had a "look at the
books" they are quiet and must
have found them correct. He
gave facts and figuret, showing
where the states affairs were
mismanaged, especially in the
~treasurers office where he is now
chief clerk. He said it was a
common thing that the treasurer
under the former administrations
contrary to law, carried more
than 100000 in the treasury
! while money is now quickly
sent as received to the deposit
taries to draw interest for the
state. Not only this, but the
Democratic administration loot
ID the school fund of $4,000 to
help itself out of a dilemma, by
appropriating this amount from
the escheats fund "a fund Great
a by the sale OF government
lands and unclaimed estates that
under the constitution is set
aside as a state school, fund.)
These and other facts showed
the advantage gained to the
voters OF Missouri by a change
,uf administration.
Following Mr. Maring, Secre-
tary of State Swanger gave "a
most excellent talk, first on ma

almost entirely to the facts ard
figures and presents them in a
way that is very convincing.
His speech was the best heard
here this year. His appearance
inspires confidence and a number
of Democrats remarked that
they liked the looks OF Mr..

mistake in sentencing him to four

The REPORT

BY the Alleged Victim
that Carson City Man
Assaulted Him

For the past few days the Reno
papers have contained articles claim
ing that Fred Gushing of this city had
terribly beaten and old man named
Ogden. Cushing was placed under
arrest by Reno officer and charged
with the crime and released on BAH
but has not been summoned to ap-
pear for trial.
From all accounts it appears that
the arrest was due to the efforts OF
an over ambitious Reno officer.
Mr.. Ogden was for many years
resident of this city and is well
known here and has known and been
very friendly with Mr.. Gushing ever
since the latter was a child.
Mr.. Ogden has made no complaint
to the Reno authorities and as soon
as he saw the accounts in the Reno
papers Immediately denied the charge
made against Mr. Cushing and the
