When democracy has honored man
by electing him to a responsible po-
sition in the service of the people
why should deserved honors be TAX
en- from others equally faithful in
the party and added TO those already
worn by the office-holder? Can it be
that all of the capability in the par
ty has been put into Office and that
there are none left within the ranks
who could credibly represent Texas
at the national convention? We are
inclined to the opinion that four
good delegates to the national con-
yention could be found in the state
without taking any of the office
holders from their duties.

Charles A. Dana, assistant secre-
tary of war during the Lincoln ad-
ministration and later editor of the
New York Sun, in an address before
the Wisconsin Editorial association,
twenty years ago, said There is no
king, no emperor, no autocrat in
the world who Yields such authori
", such power as the president of
the United States. We will suppose
the time should come-God forbid
that it should ever come-that there
should be in the post of the presi-
dent a man who has gained such
influence over the hearts of the
whole people that they become deaf
to the suggestions of wisdom, and
give to his ambition a free sway
and an open field. Suppose that he
sets aside, little by little, the res
traints of the constitution. Suppose
that he tramples upon the great
principle of personal liberty which
is the noblest inheritance that our
fathers have left us, because it is
the very life of the republic; sup
pose that he tramples down that
principle; the executive power is in
his hands, even the courts incline to
subserviency. the army follows and
obeys him. Where, then, is the safe
guard of the public liberty against
his ambition? 1t is in the press. )"
Thoughtful citizens, whether demo-
Gratis or republicans, are bound oc-
casionaily to feel alarm at the

ing terms with the constitution

The Denton Record-Chronicle
prints this: "A new edition of the
famous letter of H. Clay Pierce to
Governor Campbell has been printed
and is now being distributed over
the state There is one thing certain,
the Waters-Pierce Oil company is
sparing neither time nor expense in
insuring the fact that its different
ganda gets before the people.
The company certainly hates to turn
loose of the territory in which its
profits have been all the way from
400 to 700 per cent and if the pub
LEGATION of the Pierce letters and the
Adams contributions to the newspa-
pers can save it, the expense will
be matter of no object"

MASTERSON Is FINED.
Charged With Carrying Pistol and
Pleads Guilty.

Dallas, Texas. Feb. 2S.-In the
county court yesterday Judge VIM.
Masterson, of Houston, entered a
plea of guilty to carrying firearms
and was fined 500. This is the Sc
quel growing out of Masterson's ar
rest in this city several months ago
when in company with Senator Bal
ley. At that time complaint was
made against the Houston man for
carrying pistol. The arrest fol-
lowed closely upon the excitement
of the Bailey-Crawford incident
and created sensation at the time
Judge Masterson is member of the
state democratic executive commit

a good plan TO cut it out" It's bad

SUNFLOWER SERMONS.

(Achison Globe)
The more foolish some men talk,
the louder they talk.
On windy days, we never see
good natured woman on the streets.
No one can take care of good
looks and rheumatism at the same
time.
Pointer to young people: Elderly
people are very ''touchy" about their
ages.
1t is easy enough to attract COM
ment, but favorable comment comes
slow.
A man may escape being a fool,
but he cannot hope to escape being
called one.
A woman says meaner things than
she does; man does meaner things
than he says.
You need never fear the wrath of
woman who is fat enough to shake
when she laughs.
Lazy men, like thermometers sit
in the shade, and let the men in the

HEPBURN FIGHTS
Land GRAB
DOES NOT DESIRE CHAT EN-.
LARGED HOMESTEAD SHALL
APPLY 70 mAH0-IS SUP
PORTED nj CALIFORNIA.

WASHINGTON. May 19.-Sena-
tor Hepburn Of Idaho yesterday de-
clared that he would talk to the end
OF the session rather than permit
the adoption OF conference report
on the bill to provide an enlarged
homestead. The bill as passed by
the senate limited the increased
homestead of 800 acres to nonirri-
gable, arid and semi-arid land, and
the house struck out "arid and semi
arid land"
Mr.. Hepburn charged that the
bill was a land-grabbing measure,
permitting a single settler to take
800 instead of 100 acres of nonir-
rigable land, which in Idaho, he
said, would include land that does
not need irrigation, SO that the re-
striction against nonirrigable land
was without effect.
"If the senate has any business
it desires to attend to in the near
future, l would suggest that consid-
Grafton of this report be deferred
