The Waco Times-Herald takes a
look into the past and produces this
as a result of its review: AT the
Waco convention in 1900, when an
effort was made to howl Hogg down
Mr.. Johnson led the Hogg forces on
the floor of the convention, melting
his followers to counter applause
Mr.. Bailey was at that convention,
and j. c. Butts, associate editor of
West Times, is responsible for the
statement that while this scene was
being enacted Mr.. Hogg pointed his
finger at Bailey and proceeded to
lambast the junior senator in a way
that only Jim Hogg could The
friendship of Senator Bailey for Mr..
Bryan, as was his friendship for Mr..
Hogg, is remarkable only for its alb
sence.

those who make your home it ought
to resolve itself into debatable

Everybody knows, or ought to
know that Hyomei is recognized
among scientists as the specific ca

pie who do not know that HyOmei
will cure a cough or a cold in less

But everyone should know that the
soothing balmy and antiseptic air of
Hyomei when breathed over the raw
and inflamed mem brane of the nose
and throat will instantly allay the
inflamma and will effect

Complete Hyomei outfit, including
inhaler. costs only S1.00 at Hood &

needed, will cost but so cents.

Coming from a newspaper that is
dignified with age and crowned with
successful efforts in behalf of its own
city this compliment from the Hous-
ton Post is doubly appreciated: The
WaXahachie Light is fifteen years
old, entering on April 6 on its six
teenth year of usefulness. The Light
is one of the best of the Texas after
noon papers. and it has received the
need of prosperity which it has mer-
tied The paper has grown with
Waxahachie, and has been a great
factor in the growth of that city.
This declaration made on its birth
day is we'll worth while: We never
have nor never will become a party
to any scheme to misrepresent any
part Of the people, neither viii We
ever become party TO or connive at
any scheme OF others that seek TO
scatter seeds Of iiscord in the hearts
OF q contented people. Honesty,
whether it is expressed or implied, is
TO US a sacred gem, and to possess it
ana wear it in our everyday dealings
with our fellow man is now and ever
will be our greatest ambition.

very nest has its weaklin

Every nest has its weakling, every
community has its object of scorn,
and WaXahachie, in coming to the
front with its moral peryert and hui
man yulture is only following the
trend of natural events A man must
fall very low in the scale of common
decency when his fellows will recog-
nize in him the means of distributing
among decent people such SANDER
as can only eminate from the foulest
sources. But every evil has its lesson,
and in this instance it is a notewor-
thy fact that extreme effort was nee
essary to find one in WaXahachie suf-
ticiently degraded to undertake the
task set. And this is the class of yer
mine that is endeayoring to besmirch
the moral standing of Attorney Cen
eral r. V. Davidson. "Oh. for whip
of scorpions. TO lash such filthy ras-
Gals naked through the world" BY
their own acts they have ostracized
themselves from the society of re
spectacle people. and by their foul
mouthed SANDER have made them
selves unworthy to be associated even
with the unfortunates of life. They
are not entitled to mercy here, they
will get none in the future.

Message. from the Dead.

In the Journal of the British Psychical
Research Society fuller details are now
published concerning the recent state
ment OF Sir Oliver Lodge that, in his
opinion, messages had been received from
the dead. The messages appear to have
been transmitted through the pen of
medium known as Mrs. Hollandrones. As
she sat with her mind blank, her pen
produced broken and blurred messages,
many of which dealt with the difficulty of
establishing communication with the liv-
ing. One from Mr.. Quincy, one of the
founders of the society, now dead, read
"A feeling of terrible impotence burdens
me. | am so powerless to tell what

munication with those who would under

| can find to express the difficulties of
sending a message is that | appear to be
standing behind a sheet of frosted glass,
which blurs the sight and deadens the
sound, debating to a reluctant and some
what obtuse secretary" Living person
atty is declared TO be on a lower plane
of spiritual development, which does not
receive clear impressions from the higher
plane of those who have quilted the prison
of the flesh. Immediately after dissolu-
ton, says one message, there is an OBJ
scuration of consciousness which has led
to many failures to communicate with
living persons. A message from the late
f. w. III. Myers says the period of OBJ
livion was especially long with him, and

Fearing Charges of Theft, Woman

Fearing Charges OF THEFT, woman
Ignites Her Clothing.
Rather than face the charge Of having
stolen money from her employers, Mary
LAWN, 80 years old, a domestic employed
in the home of Charles and John Cusiek,
4461 Princeton avenue, Chicago, attempt
ed to kill herself by igniting her clothing
after she had saturated part of 1T with
kerosene. The woman has been employed
in the Cusick home for eight months. She
arose at 5 o'clock in the morning and
while her employers were asleep entered
the kitchen, where she poured h. + gallon
of kerosene over herself. Then she went
into the rear yard and ignited her gar
ments Almost instantly she became en-
veloped in flames. Her cries awakened
the Cusick brothers and occupants of adj
joining buildings, and when they entered
the yard they found the woman writing
on the ground John Cusick took off his
coat and wrapped it around her, while
Charles ran into their home and obtained
a bed quilt. Charles rolled the woman on
the ground after wrapping the quilt about
her, but she had suffered severe burns on
her head, face, arms and body. Miss
LAWN was conscious when DIR. Archibald
Hoyne arrived. How did you happen to
set fire to your clothing?' asked the ply
stefan. Il wanted to die, l wanted to
die" Miss LAWN cried. Il have stolen
money from my employers and spent it,
and l would rather die than face them
and admit my wrongs" Miss LAWN be-
came unconscious a short time later and
was taken to the hospital. The Cusick
brothers told the police they had not miss
ed any money.

Scientists outvote Koch.

Just before the closing of the Interna
tional Congress on tuberculosis at Wash
ington, the members went on record al
most unanimously against the theory adj
vanced and defended by Prof. Robert
Koch of Germany that tuberculosis is not
transmissable between animals and man.
The day before that DIR. Koch himself
had called a special conference to dis
cuss his theory, and many men of promi-
hence gave their testimony to the effect
that consumption can be traced to pilk
infection. The resolution as adopted is:
THAT preventive measures be continued
against bovine tuberculosis and that the
possibility of the propagation of this to
man be recognized This will be re-
garded as authoritative, at least until the
next congress, which it was decided to
hold at Rome in 1910. President Roose-
welt attended the final session and praised
the work of scientists everywhere. The
great gathering of scientists before adj
journment announced its position favora-
BILE to factory legislation, against woman
and child labor y1ematurely, instruction
of teachers in personal and school by
giene, college courses in hygiene and san
itation, modern Fairgrounds and hospitals.

Prosperity, Urges Reforms.
President Roosevelt has issued the
annual Thanksgiving proclamation.
pointing out the steady growth of the
natioa in strength, worldly power,
wealth and population, and fixing Nov.
% as the day for thankful recognition
of divine favor. In part the President
says:
Year by year this nation grows in
strength and worldly power. Nowhere else
in the world is ths average of individual
comfort and material well-being as high
as in our fortunate land.
For the reason that in material we'll
being we have thus abounded we owe to
the Almighty to show equal progress in
moral and spiritual things. That life is
wasted and worse than wasted which is
spent in piling, heap on heap, those things
which minister merely TO the pleasure of
the body and to the power that rests only
on wealth.
Upon material well-being as a founda-
ton must be raised the structure of the
lofty life of the spirit if this nation is
properly to fulfill its great mission and
to accomplish all that we so ardently hope
and desire.
Let us therefore as a people set our
faces resoIutely against evil and with
broad charity, with kindness and good
will toward all men, but with unfinching
determination to smite down wrong, strive
with all the strength that is given US for
righteousness in public and in private

that from its top, 500 feet in the air,
messages can be sent to warships three
thousand miles away. If this is found
