S. 7. LANHAM.
A Man Who Stood for the Pure and
True.

True.
Scarcely had he laid aside the
spotless robes of office ere fell
disease laid hold upon Samuel
Lanham, and, indeed, while he
was bearing the burden of great
official responsibility his physi-
cal powers began to abate, and
for many months it has been evil
dent that he had heard the call
obedience to which is imperative
and inevitable.
Returning to the home in
which he had lived so many
years, and taking his place
among the neighbors and friends
who had trusted him and loved
him, he prepared calmly for the
end which he knew was not far
off.
AS he waited there befell him
a calamity, to him far worse
than death. In the twinkling of
an eye his wife passed away-a
lovely, cultured woman and de-
voted wife, who had shared with
him the joys and sorrows of life
for more than forty years. To a
gentle, devoted, sincere, affec-
tionate man like Sam Lanham
such a blow could not be recov-
cred from in his already weak
ened condition, and he began at
once to sink into his last dream
less sleep, and he finally went to
join the wife of his youth and
the sharer of his poverty and OBJ
security and of his competency
and exalted distinction.
A good man, a clean man in
every relation of life, an efficient
man, a devotee to duty, was lost
to Texas when Sam Lanham
died.
The rule may be sometimes
hard, and not always just; but
men must, for the very lack of a
truer standard, be tested by sue
cess.
Sam Lanham succeeded. the
man who came to Texas in 1866
with a pair of ponies and a
wagon, with nothing save wife
and a few household goods, then
poorly educated, and rose to an
honorable position at the bar,
served fourteen years in con-
gress, and was chosen, without
an opposing candidate or a dis
senting vote, governor of this
great state, proved his worth.
He became a man of culture and
extensive reading, an eloquent
and pleasing speaker and mani
tested marked executive ability.
He was faithful to every trust,
and he took up and held every
duty with clean hands and dis
charged it with conscientious fl
deity.
When mere youth with down
upon his lip he stood as one of
the thousands of South Caro-
lina's sons who followed Lee

He was born and lived and

Bryan'S Chance to Win.

MIR. Bryan had the
support of the Socialists and the
Populists. In this campaign
both these parties are fighting
him. We think there will be a
million votes polled for Eugene
V. Debs for president. Tom
Watson will get some votes.
Hearst's ticket will get some.
The Prohibitionists are some
what stronger than ever, and in
Democratic territory.
How is Mr.. Bryan to overcome
this detection, if at all? We in,
cline to think that Mr.. Roosevelt
has done it for him; that Mr..
Roosevelt has popularized Bry-
anism to sch an extent that
Rooseveltians will vote for Mr..
Bryan, now that they have no
opportunity to vote for Mr..
Roosevelt himself. w e don't
think Mr.. Roosevelt can deliver
his followers to Mr.. Taft.
1t seems to us that Mr.. Taft is
reactiOnary; that as an indu-
rated federal judge he cannot be
anything else fundamentally
than an upholder of privilege in
the forms in which it has in
trenched itself in this country.
Mr.. Taft can't be a Rooseveltian
and a John Marshall man, too,
with a deep and idolatrous devo-
ton to the so-called vested
rights" that are in fact continu-
ing vested wrongs.
Mr.. Bryan will get all the
Democratic votes he ever got,
and most of the Parker and
Buckner vote that bolted in 1896.
He will get thousands and thou
sands of the Roosevelt Repub-
leans. His chance to hin has
been made by Mr.. Roosevelt him
self. Whatever of good Roose-
welt and Bryan has in common in
their policies Taft is opposed to,
mauger his platform and his
professions. He represents all
the social and economic antipa-
thy to Bryan and Roosevelt. Only
those are strong for Taft who be-
lieve that he is the antithesis of
Bryan and Roosevelt. Wealth
may not feel that Mr.. Taft is
quite so extensively antipathetic
to Organism and Roosevelt as
Wall street would have him, but
he is the best that wealth could
get, and the capitalistic element
will have to take him.
Will business vote for Taft
because Organism brought on
hard times? We don't think so.
This country is pretty well con-
WINGED that the panic was DELHI
erately and artificially brought
about by the men who hate at
once Roosevelt's Organism and
bryan S ROOSeVellSHn.
The man on a reduced salary,
the small business man out of a
job, knows that the big interests
that precipitated the stringency
are for Taft. Are these men go
ing to vote for the candidate OF
the men wro, to protect the
graft, were willing to plunge the
country into misery? We think
not.
In spite of Debs' and Watson's
and Hearst's and the Prohibi'
tionists' detection from Bryan
we think the Democratic candi,
date this year has a better
chance to win than he ever hac
before. He isn't the bugaboc

THE RIGHT TO CRITICiSE

The Register never has attempted to
discredit any public officials honest
endeavor, however this paper has al.
ways reserved the right TO criticise
the acts of public men or expose inn
position upon the public especially
when those acts became SO well found
ed that there was no question as to
the truth of the matter.
The Register has no intention of
discrediting the intention of the
county commissioners, but il does in
sist that they have been mislead into
taking action regarding certain mat
tiers which they would not have done
If they had not been i'll advised.
In the first instance they were adj
vised by States Attorney Cheever to
pay John Alton $500 out of the county
funds as back salary at the time he
was about TO go out Of office. There
is nothing on the minutes as pub
lished to show that they hau pre-
vlously agreed TO pay him any such
amount, and in face of the fact that
Mr.. Alton did practically all the work
in the auditors office this wife being
deputy and drew a salary of $3.50
for his four years service, it is diff
cult to see wherein the board was
justified in making him a present of
$500. anG ulen increase the present
auditors salary when Mr.. Alton had
proven that he could pretty nearly
do all the work alone. We believe
that the board was unduly Influenced
by interested parties somehow, by
whom the public can draw their own
conclusions.

WAY GOES $1,000

The Register entertains the most
cordial feeling toward the board of
county commissioners. Cannot a
friend point out the pitfalls to another
friend without being classed as an
enemy?
Must history be referred to in order
to convince the public that there was
method in the II of presenting
eX-auditor Alton with 800 which the
county had never contracted to pay?
Is it necessary to refer to the clash
between Mr.. Alton and Auditor Muir
ply when the latter demanded pos
session of the office on January first
and Mr.. Atoms term did not expire
until March first? Is it necessary to
remind the public of the fact that
Mr.. Alton stepped out OF the county
auditors office soon after January first
and that Mr.. Murphy stepped in?
Would Mr.. Alton have been willing
to give up his official position at h
time, lose two months salary and to
have gone clerking in a bank, just to
accommodate the present county audi
tor?
How nice and convenient it was to
have the then acting states attorney
suggest that it was Lawfully proper to
present Mr.. Alton with $40O-as back
- what cnofhino pffprt if
must have had upon Mr.. Atoms feel
ings when he realized how ~conslderate
the states attorney was in his be-
half. in advising the board to pay
Mr.. Alton the sum % $500 'as agreed
upon." of wnlcn agreement the
minutes of the board makes no men
ton.
Then how real nice it was for Audi
tor Murphy to secure an increase or
salary. though he had seemed per-
fectly willing to take the office at a
salary of $1,000 per year prior to his
nomination and election. In this IN
stance $1,000 of the people money
was spent; for what purpose? Some
might have been mean enough to sug-
pest that the money went to adjust
matters as between the stalwart cam
naign but that is merely pre-
sumption.
C%andidly, the board was lead into
doing something which they now wish
they were clear from and which will
remain a reflection upon their official
career. for, while there may be a tech
meal lega! right for their action, they
had no moral right to either present
Mr.. Alton with $500 back salary, nor
were they governed by business pru-
dence in so doing. Furthermore. the
commissioners were not justified in
voting an increase of salary to the
present county auditor, paying him
Sc. 900 for the same work other audi
tors had only received $4,000. They
nay be sustained by the courts. but
the people will be the final judges in
his case.
