In the regular announcement col
Jack killebrew as a candidate for
tax assessor of Ellis county. Mr.. Kill
Hebrew has complied with the Terrell
election law in applying for a place
on the ticket, and maeks his an
nouncement subject to the action of
the democratic primary election to
be held July 25. Mr.. Killebrew is
too well known to the voters of Ellis
county to need any newspaper COM
mendation, but this paper desires to
take occasion here to say that he
has made a faithful and efficient Off
Ger. He is now serving his first term
as assessor and has tried to the best
of his ability to render the people
a fair and impartial service. There
are some few tax payers in the coun-
ty who have been inclined to criti-
else Mr.. Killebrew because of his eff
forts to comply with the provisions
of the full rendition law, but they
forget that he had nothing to do with
the enactment of this measure. 1t is
Mr.. Killebrew's sworn duty to en-
force this law regardless of the
many obnoxious features it may con-
tain. To have been negligent of this
duty would have subjected him to
removal from Office If a tax payer
believes his property has been as
sessed above its true valuation he
has the privilege of appearing be-
fore the board of equalization which
is now in session, and appeal to the
board for a reduction of the
amount. Mr.. Killebrew asks for the
support of the voters of Ellis coun-
ty, believing that he has conscien-
tiously discharged his duty as re-
quired by law
Mr.. Kilebrew desires the explana-
ton made that on account of the
board Of equalization being in SEES
sion it will be some two or three
weeks before he can get out among
the voters, but he expects to visit
every precinct in the county before
election day.

am going to make a stronger state
ment and that is: There are more
christian people who take temper as
substitute for the fruit of the spirit
than all these others put together
How many are there in this church
today who are going around swelled
lup like a balloon and not speaking
to some of their friends just because
they are mad? l do not know there is
any one in this church who is mad at
any one else, but | do know that if
there is that person will get no
blessing out of this meeting until
they are willing to forgive and to
be forgiven"
At O'Clock in the afternoon the
Evangelist spoke to six hundred
women on ''Woman's Mission" and
at the same hour a union Baraca
meeting was held in the Central
Presbyterian church, at which Mr..
jolly was one of the speakers.
The mems meeting at night was
the browning service of the day. The
! music alone was worth going a long
distance to hear and was thoroughly
enjoyed. Miss Eva Schmitt rendered
a beautiful violin solo, panied
by Mrs. Grow, and SO much was it
enjoyed that the men could hardly
be restrained from applauding and
she very kindly played it again at
the request of the preacher for the
men. Mr.. jolly sang the "Ho1y City
and Mr.. Smith Face to Face" There
have never been two pieces written
| that SO caught the ear of Americans
as these and although they are old,
still they will always be popular and
people are glad to hear them again
and again.
DR.. Walton took as his subject
| The Sin of Babylon and his SER
mon from start to finish was one
strong appeal to men to turn from
| their sins to God. He repeated his
statements of the morning that he
| had information that there were
some of the lowest dives in Waxa-
| hachie that could be imagined and
besought the audience to bestir
! themselves in an effort to clean them
out. At the close quite number
signed cards announcing their con-
fession of faith and signifying their
| intention of joining some church.
The meeting at the Baptist church
| for women only, conducted by Pas
/ tor Boon of the Churstian church,
was a delightful one and every
woman received a great benefit The
| leader of the service has been an
evangelist for a number of years and
| knows exactly what to do with an
audience as was shown by his hand
ling of the thousand women present
! last night.
| The stores of the city are to be
asked today to close on Tuesdays
| Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
| from 1855 a. m. to 11:10 a. m. tc

tend the morning services.

BUSY DAY At THE CHURCHES
Several Services Held Sunday il
Connection with Union Meeting.

Sunday was by far the greatest
day of the union revival services now
being held in Waxahachie The day
was filled with enthusiasm and in
terest on the part of saint and sin
ner from the early Sunday school at
8 O'Clock until the close of the men s
meeting at $50 in the evening. The
evangelist and his helpers, as did all
the personal workers, put forth every
energy to make the day a success.
DR.. Walton's sermon in the morn
ing was strong one and caused
much comment of favorable kind
In the forepart of the service Mrs.
VIM. Lake of Fort Worth, who pre-
sided at the piano in DR.. Walton S

Presbyterian church there, sang a

sion of the next congress, insuring
the maintenance of the true princi-
pies of protection by imposing such
customs duties as will equal the diff
ton at home and abroad, together
with a reasonable profit, to the end
that without excessive duties, Amer
lean manufacturers, farmers, pro-
ducers and wage earners may have
adequate protection.
With a view to doing away with
some of the evil effects of the cur
rency law just enacted there will be
a pledge that the next congress shall
take UP the currency question and
enact permanent law that will es-
tablish safe and satisfactory none
tary conditions and relieve the bust
ness of the nation from the fear of
panic.
1t is also understood that there
will be plank favoring aati-injunc-
ton legislation and other legislation
favorable to labor, which Secretary
Taft is known to advocate earnest
ly, and that something VIII be said
respecting the rights of the negroes
and the progress made by that race,
intended to counterfeit the effect of
Foraker's agitation of the Browns
VILE question.
The Roosevelt policies respecting
the regulation of railroads, the pros
ecution of trusts, and the conserva-
ton of natural resources are to be
Endorsed and their continuance
promised. According to the present
understanding the whole document
will be one that Taft can. himself ac-
cept and that the country will APP
prove.
The convention will be called to
order at noon tomorrow by Chair
man Harry S. New, who will use a
gavel made Of wood from Fort Dear
born. Bishop F. ]. Muldoon will
make the opening prayer, after
which the selection of committees
and other preliminary business will
be transacted.

beautiful solo entitled The Plains
of Peace" rhe most beautiful thing
about Mrs Lake rendition was her
utter lack of ostentatiousness She
seemed to have no thought of her
self, and her clear distinct tones
reached every part of the house, be-
ing most thoroughly enjoyed by the
congregation.
The evangelist took as his subject
THE DEVILS Substitute for the Fruit
of the Spirit. In part, he said
Il am confident that many of you
do not think that the devil offers any
substitute for the things that the
spirit wants us to have but it is only
necessary for you to look around and
see that every day men are accepting
the things the devil offers, rather
than what the Holy Spirit offers.
Some men say, Well, | will take
drunkenness and be satisfied with
that. Now, Waxahachie is a prohibi-
ton town. but yesterday afternoon
! / walked around the court house
square and on every corner | saw
not less than three or four drunken
men. Now what is the cause of this?
Simply that some man has said, I
would rather have whisky and beer
and make fool of myself before the
whole city of Waxahachie than to ac-
cept the fruit of the Spirit And
some man has said, would rather
Waxahachie against the law and sell
| it to my fellow citizens than to be
square with God and man. Many say
to themselves, What difference does
it make what men do? Is it any Of
my business? If they want to get
drunk, let them get drunk. | want
to say to you that every man and
woman in Waxahachie are so linked
together in one common brotherhood
that it does make a difference to
everyone of you whether your neigh
Dor is an angel or hog. 1t not only
makes difference to you, but it will
make great difference to your chill
dren and in your children. Another
man says:
I will accept lust as a substi-
tute, l tell you citizens of Waxaha-
chic there are some as vile and dew
ilish cess pools of iniquity in Waxa
hachie as are to be found in New
York, Chicago, New Orleans, or any
of the large cities, and the christian
people Of your city are responsible
for this state of affairs. You are just
idly sitting by and saying, 1t is none
of my business. ! will keep out of
it,
Another substitute is covetous-
ness. There are some people in this
world who will get down on their
knees and lick the boots of any man
who has money They will bow to
money, be it in the shape of hog
or gentleman, but l am glad to say
that there are good people who
would no more do that thing than
they would commit murder.
And then there is pride as a sub
stitute. How many women are
spending more money every month
than their husbands can make Just
to be able to wear better clothes and
have better looking houses than 9TH
er women? Debt is slavery, and
there are some men who are slaves
because their wives make them such.
There is one more substitute
which l fear we think little of, but
which is just as great a sin as any l
have named, and that is temper /

scribed and eNCeptin, the United
States every country in the wOriS is
progressing along these lines. Arc
we to see another era similar to the
one passed through in the early
eighties, when our navy consisted
wholly of wooden ships using steam
only as an auxiliary, while all other
countries were building vessels OF
steels? Are we to see England launch
ing vessels propelled by gas producer
explosive plants; vessels without
smOkcStaCks to interfere with the all
around fire of the guns, to be riddled
by the enomy's shell and to belCh
forth signal of smoke that tells the
enemy of your presence long befOr,
YOU could be discovered without them .
