Dallas, Texas, April 1S.-The floods
in Texas, particularly in the northern
and central sections, are worse today
than at any time since high water was
first reported. Two hundred families
have been driven from their homes in
Fort Worth, and one white man and
one negro are reported drowned there
in the Trinity river. Many miles of
railway tracks have been washed
away in the overlooked districts. A
Santa Fe train, on the Dallas and Gle
burne line, was partly engulfed during
the night, and for a time the lives of
hundred passengers were endanger-
ed. The train porter was drowned and
the fireman was perhaps fatally in
jured. Small boats came out from
Cleburne and took the passengers
from the train to dry land
Reports received here indicate that
some half dozen lives have been lost
in the overlooked districts. The prop
erty loss will exceed million dollars
Rainfall during the week registers
seven inches, and it is still raining, in

CHALLENGE TO BAILEY
johnson Challenges Bailey to Produce
Evidence That He Ever Paid :
Pierce One Obligation.

Corsicana, Texas, April 17-In a
notable speech delivered here today
by Hon. Cone H. Johnson of Tyler,
leader of the cause of anti-Baileyism
there were two features which stood
out prominently. One of these was
his challenge to Senator Bailey to pro-
duce any evidence whatever that he
had paid a single one of the notes or
other obligations from that official to
H. Clay Pierce, president of the
Waters Pierce Oil company. The
other was his answer to the charge
made here by Senator Bailey that Mr.
Johnson had advocated and was in
favor of having white men to teach
negro schools
His denunciation of this as Twill
full and deliberate SANDER" and his ex-
PLANTATION of his attitude with regard
10 the question of educating the ne
groes aroused such enthusiasm as is
seldom witnessed on such occasions
Il never preach at one place a doc
trine that am afraid to preach at an
other" Mr.. Johnson continued, after
he had answered Senator Bailey's al
legation. Il don't go up in North Tex
as and talk about morality and indi-
cate that am for prohibition and then
go down to San Antonio and indicate
to those people there that am an anti.

ORGANIZATION
rs NECESSARY.

The strength of every political org
anizatlon must depend upon the per
lection of its organization. This APP
plies to all kinds of politics. whether
OF national state. county or precinct,
The effort now being made by the
democrats of Cochise county to form
clubs in every precinct is nothing
more nor less than an effort 20 enlarge
the number OF democratic votes this
fall. The democrats of Coehise should
be proud Of their past accomplish
ments for democratic success In the
territory. Us there has never been an
election since the county was organ
lied when a good sized democratic
majority was not returned. Club org
anization, which reaches every pre-
einct. is the most perfect yet con
eeived. Every democrat in the coun-
ty should be enrolled in club. II all
the democrats are not included in the
membership of the various clubs, then.
at least. each democratic Voter should
be listed and card system prepared
on which may be noted the state of
his political inclination as to voting
for the various candidates when they
have been nominated. In this way
campaign committees and managers
have direct Information concerning the
status of the vote and can manage the
campaign intelligently Cochise coun-
ty two years ago polled for delegate
to congress the largest democratic ma
jority recorded in the territory. The
democrats of the territory are looking
to Cochise 10 increase that majority
this year and l. can be done through
the proper system of organization.

Against this proposed outrage the
democrats in congress and from one
end Of Jhe country to the other en-
tered vigorous protest. Against this
iniquity Mark Smith. the democratic
delegate from Arizona in congress,
made the great effort Of his life.
Against this assault on the right of
self-goyernment of brave, industri-
Gus and patriotic people the popula-
ton of Arizona. irrespective Of poiiti-
cal Affiliations. revoited-
Now. when both national eonven-
tons have declared fo- separate state
hood for the territories, the leading
republican paper in Arizona makes
the assertion that it would DE better
to forsake the man who so ably de-
Tended the rights Of Arizona and put
TO flight Cannon. Beverage. Roose-
Yelt and all the forces Of the national
republican administration who sought
70 take from Arizona the privileges Of
self-government.
We have heard the old republican
cry of elect a republican delegate to
congress and secure statehood" We
rave seen victory after victory
Sreathed on the brow of democracy

greatest CT all victories this year re
corded for the democratic party in

DEMOCRATS WELCOME
STATEHOOD ISSUE.

We had wondered what possible is
Sue the republicans of Arizona would
undertake TO raise in the campaign of
this year. The democrats should be
glad to know that the only issue de-
pended upon for the republican cam
paign is that of statehood On this
issue the democrats have licked the
republicans in Arizona time after
time, time ami again, and then some,
and on this issue the democrats are
ready for battle. The Arizona Re
publican, the leading republican news
paper in the territory, is out with the
statement that the campaign this year
is the first in the history of Arizona
when the election of a democrat
would jeopardize the chances Of the
territory being admitted as a state.
Such an assertion is nothing more
nor less than branding the republican
party with insincerity in its declara-
ton for the immediS te admission of
Arizona and New Mexico as separate
states" With that declaration in the
republican platform and similar one
in the democratic platform, by what
process of reasoning is the Republican
or any individual warranted in saying
that the election of a democrat to con,
gress would !eopardize the chance of
statehood for, Arizona?
But the democrets of Arizona are
glad to welcome statehood as the is
sue. On this issue the democrats have
won many battles in this territory and
on this issue they are willing to stand
or fall in the coming campaign.
The national democratic party ha:
for twelve years demanded the admis
sion of Arizona as state The repub
lean national convention eight years
ago at Philadelphia inserted a planl

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

On all sides we see evidences that
the tide has turned. A steady inn
provement from this time onward may
be looked for with confidence. In

centers mills are reopening their
doors The stocks of goods in the

which is under way in all the great
lines of trade, is beginning to send in
orders to the factories with little of
their old-time volume.
Within the past three weeks the out
put of the mills of the United States
Steel Corporation has been increased
ten per cent over the average OF re,
cent months. The promise is that C.
the beginning Of November the larg
est of the worlds steel concerns will
be running its works to nearly their
1ull capacity. The independent steel
mills, which furnish almost half OF the
eountry's proddct, are also responding
to the upward turn in trade
This Improvement is registering it
self in the reduction Of the number OF
idle locomotives and cars. When the
number was at its highest in the clos
ing days of April $4,000 cars were
sidetracked throughout the United
States for lack Of work. In the clos
ing days of July the number dropped
below the 100000 line. The heavy

ORPHE UM.

To completely change village
blacksmith shop into the parlor of
a fashionable mansion in the space
of two seconds would seem to be
impossible, yet this is done by the
Staley and Birbecks company at
the Orpheum for the week begin
ming Sunday afternoon. The act
opens in a blacksmith shop, with
three smiths pounding out the
anvil chorus from III Trovatore."
There is the blazing forge, bellows,
wagon to be repaired and other
shop litter. Then darkness for just
two seconds. The wagon has be-
come an upright piano, the forge a
fireplace, the anvils easy chairs, in
room tastefully decorated. In
place of the begrimed blacksmiths
are the same men, clad in faultless
evening attire. 1t is not an optical
delusion, but remarkable trans
formation. Second only in import
ance Is Franklin Underwood and
company In 'Dobb's Dilemma" Mr..
Underwood has appeared in sup
port OF such people as Florence
Roberts. Miss Slosson has APP
peared with Nance O'Neil and Mr..

inal cast of Just Out of College"
There Is no doubt of the hit that
will be made by PLAY Ball." the
tabloid form of the game presented
by WEIGH, Mealy and Montrose.
Mr.. WEIGH is on old player, having
appeared with the Cincinnati Reds.
Another laugh provoker is the act
Of Lew Hawkins. burnt cork vet
eran, who, as lend man. has trav-
eled with every leading organiza-
ton that has toured the country.
Juggling in an artistic form and
with pleasing setting is the offer
ing of the Tennis Trio, composed
of VIII Campbell and the Misses
May and Alma Stock. A breezy
western skit, with a prairie setting,
is "Happy's Millions" the starring
vehicle of William Morrow and
Verda Schellberg, who are assisted
by a company Of Indians and cow
boys. A dancing skit that has a
clever setting is THE Dancing
Waiter and the Guest" by Charles

usual program of moving pictures
will conclude the performance.
