WHAT NIGHT HAVE BEEN.

Lord Rosebery in an address at
Glasgow University some years ago.
gave utterance to the following in
eresting speculation:
Had the elder Pitt when he be-
anne prime minister not left the
house of commons he could doubt
less have induced George III to lis
ten to reason, introduced American
representation into parliament and
preserved the thirteen colonies to
England. The new blood of Ameri-
AN would have burst the old vessels
Of the constitution and provided a
seif-adjusting system of representa-
ton. There would have been no war
OF separation, no war of 1912, and
finally, when the Americans became
majority, the empire would per
haps have moved solemnly across
he Atlantic and Britain become a
historic shrine, the European out
post of the empire"

SAMUEL GOMPERs Is So.
President of Federation of Labor
Celebrates Birthday.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Fifty-
eight years ago yesterday, in Lon
dons Samuel Gompels, president OF
the American Federation of Labor,
first saw the light of day. AS the
head of the greatest organization of
workingmen in the world, he is now
an international figure, and the re-
cipient of congratulations, not only
from other labor leaders, but from
merce, literature and government.
Recent attacks made upon his
character and methods have served
only to augment the respect in
which he is held by millions of his
fellow citizens.
Gompers was born in London
January 27, 1850, the son of Gig
armaker. He attended school for
four years, and this was the extent
of his formal education, with the ex
ception of few terms at night
school while working in his fathers
cigar shop.
At the age of Is Gompers came to
America, settled in New York city,
and in time became a naturalized
citizen of the United States. When
only lad of i A Gompers began his
career as a labor leader by aiding
in the organization of the Cigar
Makers International union, of
which he later became secretary and
president In 1881 he was the pion-
eer in the organization of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and has
been it's executive since that time,
with the exception of two years.
The great labor leader is man
of scholarly, refined tastes, and his
appearance is that OF college pres
ident rather than a labor agitator.
He is a short, bulky, stout man
with a big head set on square
shoulders. His expressive face be-
speaks intellect, determination and
a wide charity. He is a constant
smoker, and puffs his cigars in the
energetic way that marks all his ac-
lions. He is a member of no church
or religious organization, although
in New York he was a regular at
tendant at the meetings of DR.. Felix
Adler's Ethical Culture Society
The bulky form of Gompers is
frequently to be seen at the capitol
during the sessions of congress. He
watches closely all labor legislation
and frequently appears before con-
gressional committees to argue the
cause of organized labor, in its re-
lation to bills affecting the interests
of workers. Laboring men through
out the land have benefited by his
activities and probably will contin-
ue to do SO for many years to come,
since President Gompers, at the
threshold of his 59th year, retains
to a wonderful extent all the mental
and physical vigor of man twenty
years younger

Tosthe voters of Ellis county:

Tossthe voters of Ellis county:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Palmer and vicinity, desiring to ex-
press our endorsement of the can
didacy of our fellow townsman,
Hon. w. S. Stepter, for state rep
resentative, who has been solicited
to make the race by host of
friends, send this to you, greeting:
That Mr.. Stepter was reared in
Ellis county, educated in the Texas
State Institution for the Blind at
Austin and for the past eight years
has been a resident of Palmer,
where he has successfully carried
on his business as a private citizen.
His knowledge of the political af-
fairs of the day. the needs of eco
nomic legislation in the state, his
answering honesty and integrity
are some of his characteristics. He
is full of life and energy and is a
christian gentleman. His claims to
the office of which he aspires, we
believe, are exceeded by none
being a strict, conscientious demo-
crat and never forgetting his
friends. We believe he will make
the best representative for the peo-
pie Ellis county could select. and
commend him to your considera-
ton.

Sulphur, the Great Germicide.

What does the health department or ply
sician do in house where there has been
Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Consumption or
some form Of contagious disease? Fumi-
gates it-burns sulphur in every room, nook,
corner and Granny. Ask them why, and
they will say ''To kill the germs Of the
disease"
Very well, if sulphur will kill disease
germs in room or house, won't 1t kill
them in the human body, if the sulphur can
be applied or given in way that will per-
nit it to penetrate as thoroughly and COM
pletely as the sulphur fumes?
But the human lungs cannot stand sui
phur fumes and as stated before, flowers of
sulphur powdered sulphur are not efhca-
cious. Then the only other thing is to find
some way of applying sulphur to the human
body so that it will penetrate the entire sys-
tenn and reach the cause of the trouble.
Littell's Liquid Sulphur does this; itstoPs
itching instantly and permanently relieves
ell forms of skin complaint, eczema, cry
sipelas, pimples, running sores, letter, ring
worm, chaps, roughness, redness or skin
blotches. Sample bottle sent post paid to
