There are two classes of dema-
gogues in Texas that the state could
well be rid of to profit. One is the
political demagogue who is always
talking to the people about the abuses
the railroads and other corporations
heap upon the heads of the long suf-
fering people He is usually liar
and hypocrite after votes. The other
is the business demagogue who is al
ways prattling about turning Texas
loose" lamenting that the unfair laws
are driving capital from the state and
killing legitimate enterprises. He is
usually liar and hypocrite after
business favors. The great masses OF
the people know where they are and
give little heed to these demagogues
One claims to be trying to correct the
evils wrought by the other, and both
do the state incalculable harm, OF
would if their influence extended far
enough. Texas needs to be delivered
from both classes of demagogues.

MAY BUY NEW COACHES
Reported In Houston That Receiver
Freeman Will Issue Certificates
to Secure New Equipment.

Having added to the freight equip
ment of the International iand Great
Northern, through the mel jim of is
suing receivers certificates, it is re-
ported that Receiver Thomas J. Free,
man will adopt the same expedient to
acquire passenger equipment. The re-
port says that early in the year the
International will be in thetmarket for
a number of new passenger coaches,
including both day coaches and chair
cars, and that the number to be
bought will materially supplement the
present passenger rolling stock of the
road.
Nothing official has been given out
yet regarding the probable number of
passenger coaches whic,ffsthe road will
buy, in the event that n tefver Free
man is given authority by the courts
to issue receivers certificates in pay
ment. AS is known, these certificates
form a prior lien on the property of
the railroad company, taking preced-
ence over all other claims, and, as
such, would be as readily received by
the manufacturers as were the box
car and locomotive certificates issued
in payment for that equipment. 1t is
practically certain that the court will
interpose no objection to issuing more
should the need for more passenger
equipment be deemed sufficiently
strong by the court.-Houston Chron-
icle.

Tribute to Mrs. Nilsson.

Benson Times: Mrs. Anna G. Nil
son, who was twice grand chief of
honor of the Degree of Honor in this
state, and has visited Benson lodge a
number of times, where she had
many friends, died at her home in
Morris last Tuesday, after an illness
of several months, the cause of her
death being cancer. She was born in
Manitowac, Wis, and came to Morris
as bride in 1878, where she was en-
deared to every one and where she
leaves husband, son and daughter,
together with a host of friends to
mourn her loss. During her two
years at its head, the Degree of Hon.
or attained it's greatest success, much
of which was attributable to her ex-
cellent influence and management.

DErlURRER OvERRULED.
Judge Flaherty Sustains the State
in License Tax Case.

Judge S. A. Fiaherty handed down
his decision yesterday in the case OF
the State Board of Control VS.. the
City of Morris to recover two per
cent of the license fees collected in
the city for the support of a state in
ebriate farm. The city demurred. to
the complaint on the ground that the
law was unconstitutional, and it is
this demurrer, which the judge over
ruled in able an opinion handed down
late yesterday. Owing to the late
ness of the hour, we find it impossible
to give the full text of the dscision,
but we will do so next week.
Now that the validity of the law has
been questioned, both the state and
the city desire to have the law passed
upon by the supreme court, and the
case will probably therefore be ap-
pealed by the city Immediately.

OF 654 fires from lightning investi-
gated by the Fire Marshal of Ohio
only one building had modern rod
on it. The accident was caused by
electricity jumping from a copper rod
through the weather boarding to a

was $3.50. In two instances weather
boards or shingles were displaced but
not fred. No person has been str uck
in rodded building in that state.

by the unfortunate certific ate holders
is the inevitable result of speculative
contracts.
Since January 1st, there has been
65 fires in educational institutions
throughout the United States. One
hundred and sixty six lives have been
lost and thousands endangered. The
property damage varies from small
amounts to $150.0O0.
The new law governing fraternal
insura nee societies, enacted at the
last session of the State Legislature,

obliged either to amend their con-
stitution and bylaws or to withdraw
