The ceremony was witnessed by few intimate friends and relatives, and af ter the wedding there was jolly sup per. Incidentally, the groom had a mar row escape from being kidnapped. the only thing saving him being that a member of the jury in the district court was unable to obtain the neees- sary liberty. It had been planned to take Lyons out for buggy drive a few hours before the wedding and take him out to the half way house, where he was to be locked up and worked for few drinks, to be released only after a couple of days. As it was, his friends were content with paying respectful call at supper time, after which they went down town, purchased an elegant burnt leather hanger bearing the pie. ture of bull pup and the inscription "All can do is growi little," which was sent up to the house.

THE PROBLEM OF HOLIDAYS

With unfailing regularity, school
| boards all over the country have
presented for disposition the prob
i lem of various holidays, necessary,
unnecessary, or merely eXpedient.
The question always comes up in the
form, is it better to give the chill
dren a days recreation and change,
or to keep them in and enforce the
| discipline necessary to get a certain
amount of school work done in a
certain time?"
! Recently at Marshall, Texas, the
| students of the public schools refus-
! ed to be kept in on Texas independ-
ence day, and went on a strike. The
board had refused to recognize the
day as a holiday. The United States
recognizes Texas independence day
as holiday in the different Texas
branches of its service, 1t would seem
that the Marshall students at least
had precedent for their refusal to go
to school on the day

Conciliative expressions are con-
tinuously eminating from the rant

test pacification from that source is
as follows: Looking at the pro-
ceedings of the Waco hate meeting,
it appears that the same old crowd
had quite a Jolly time relieving their
overburdened natures of surging
emotions The greater number of
men of prominence who participated
were of the noble order of hasbeens,
That is to say, they were men the
people of Texas, for reasons salts
factory to themselves, have long
since retired to private life-we
hope with as good results to these
gentlemen as to the state itself. "
Now that sounds nice and ought to
| make the Houston Post extremely
| popular with fair-minded people on
either side of the question. Of course
there were none present at the Wa
co meeting except "hasbeens Just
such hasbeens as was Hon. James
stephen Hogg. But the Post did not
intend that it's language should thus
be interpreted, for that organ, no.

tinues: Whatever the motive, the
spectacle itself was a disgrace to the
democratic party" The only differ
ence between the above quoted SEN
tence and this paper is the placing
of the disgrace" The Houston pa
| per says the spectacle" was dis
grace, our contention is that the 'oc-
| casion" for that spectacle is a dis
grace. At any rate we are agreed
that democracy is disgraced. BE

In the same connection it is worth
noting again the letter of Governor
J. S. Hogg to j. H. Rowell, Sr., %of
Jefferson, written Feb. 81, 1901, and
reproduced in yesterdays Record. In
that letter the great commoner, an
ticipating the refusal of the legisla-
ture to submit the Hogg constitu-
tional amendments, which has been
adopted as a part of the democratic
platform, remarked; IF members of

platform, can justify their course in
violating party pledges, then, indeed,
platforms are useless and parties are

Also in the same connection it should
be noted that in the Waco conven-

ments, Cooke county delegates
headed by Senator Bailey voted
against their submission. Also bear
in mind that it was the Bailey lead
