The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1908-11-27

The man with a crouch against
another man is one Of the proofs
in every town that the savage
still lives, and that we are not 50
much better after all than the
icudistS Of Kentucky. 1t may
be that the feeling had its origin
years ago, and even the princl-
pals have forgotten the real facts
Of it. All the same it goes on,
and many otherwise good men
prove constantly that they can
not forgive or forget, the first
two essentials of real manhood.
They keep it up always, and
drag all who will be dragged in,
into the best. As the town ad.
vcnccs in years this causes all
sorts Of vendcttas, Of intrigue, of
mean work, and unnecessary
friction 1t is getting TO be un.
popular as principle, but il
still goes on. The world cares
little for your fayoritc crouch
and will respect you moro if you

The Second Story is Up.

This has been another good
week for the men who are build
ing the court house and they
have been very careful to take
advantage of every moment of
workable time. The entire out
side walls are now up to the top
of the second story and by to-
morrow work on placing the
floor joists for the third floor
will have begun after which the
bricklayers will complete the
walls for the entire building.
The contractors think that with
two more weeks of favorable
weather they will be able to com
plete the brick work and will
then place the terra Gotta course
which goes around the top after
which the roof will be rushed
and the central tower completed.
Looks like they will get the
entire roofing done by the first
of the year which is only one
month off now.

Reeds Candidacy.

The extensive comment on the can
didacy of Senator Stuart r. Reed for
the office OF secretary of state, by
the newspapers OF the state generally,
irrespective Of party utilization, is of
that hearty and volunteer nature as
to impress all with the welcome re-
ception the tidings of his nomina-
ton and election would bring to all
the citizens OF the state. Wherever
Senator Reed is known in the state
and in fact he is known all over the
state-the newspapers which have
no selfish interest to promote or to
crafty, are his warm friends and do
not hesitate to say things about him,
that mean something: The Wheel
ing Intelligencer is not the least of
these and its latest utterances as to
the Reed candidacy are as follows:
One of the formidable aspirants
FOR positions on the Republican state
ticket is Hon. Stuart f. Reed, of
Clarksburg. Mr.. Reed is a candidate
for the nomination for secretary of
state, nd has developed a very large
amount Of personal strength entirely
independent of contrasting factions.
In the primaries in both Monongalia
and Wetzel counties, he received a
large plurality of the votes cast, and
is assured of the support of these two
substantial counties in addition to his
own county OF Harrison. Mr.. Reed
is an able stump speaker, and has
done yoeman service for his party.
He is moreover a good business man
and citizen of high standing. If
nominated he will add strength to
the ticket, and he will make val
liable public servant"
In addition the Intelllgencer says:
Mr.. Reed has large number of
friends in Ohio county, and generally
is very popular with the Republicans
of this section"
| No newspaper knows more thor
oughly the qualifications of Mr.. Reed
that the Intelligencer and it gratifies
that paper greatly to have the pleas,
IRE of presenting such capable man
to the consideration of the people
The Telegram is rejoiced to see the
Intelligencer listed with the. many
newspapers, who are doing goot
4 work in his behalf.

1t Is stated that the chief has given

nection that he had enough white POI
licemen to arrest white men.
If this be true. and there seems
no reason to doubt 1t, the CHIEF Of

on the statute books OF the city. 1t
is an encouragement on his part for
officers of the law to wink at Viola
