Playing the game from both ends
and wide open in the middle is well
illustrated in the final desperate eff
fort to saddle Baileyism on the de-
mocracy of Texas. In those sections
of the state where prohibition is
strongly in the ascendency the lieu
tenants of Senator Bailey, joined by
the senator himself, are loudly de-
claring that the hope of the prohi-
bition movement in Texas lies in the
election of Joe Bailey as a delegate
in next Saturdays primary. In the
doubtful sections the senator and his
friends are desperately riding the
fence. In San Antonio and other anti
prohibition strongholds the cry is go
ing up from Jake VOTERS and other
Bailey speakers, and by the senator
that his election will forever bury the
prohibition issue. The speakers who
make these various declarations
know the real facts in the case what
ev they may be, and this makes it
reasonably certain that some one is
wilfully and maliciously telling that
which they know to be falsehocd.

GETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

In his speech here last Thursday
elsewhere, that when he agreed to
intercede with the Texas authorities
for the Waters-Pierce Oil company
he was deceived in regard to the re-
latjons between that company and
the Standard Oil company.
His first account to the people of
Texas of this matter shows that
when he first met H. c. Pierce he
thought the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany was a part of the Standard Oil
trust, but upon Pierce's denial of
this he says: Il said to Mr.. Pierce,
If you can convince me that your
company is not a trust, and will
agree to come to Texas aud take the
oath to obey the laws, | will under
take to say that you will have no
trouble with the officers of the state
He then went fully into the business
and character of his company, and
after satisfying me that it was not
trust, | told him that | intended to
return to Texas in a few days on a
political errand and while there
would lay the matter before the at
torney general and secretary of
state" Investigation p, 500
Why was Mr. Bailey content to act
in this matter wholly upon the per
sonal representations of an entire
stranger, who was then under in
dictment in this state for alleged
violations of our antitrust law. and
adversely to a judgment which the
state had obtained after great ex-
pense and long litigation. for viola
tion of the same antitrust law. and
without waiting TO see the states
representatives or even a copy of the
judgment which had been obtained
Furthermore, while claiming thus TO
have been deceived, why is it that
Mr.. Bailey has never yet publicly de
nounced the man who thus deceived
him, though profuse in denunciations
of others who fail to see in his con
duct in this matter the circumspect
action of a watchful guardian of the
peoples interests?
The legislative investigation shows
that at that first meeting and from
that stranger Mr.. Bailey borrowed
$4,000, and that since that time he
has borrowed from him, and with

The following questions were ask

stand. to which he made the follow
ing replies:
@. Referring to the suit of the
attorney general against the Waters
Pierce Oil company, it being assum-
ed that the purpose of that suit is to
show that the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany is connected with the Standard
Oil company, would you, as a lawyer,
think it wise to bring suit that way
instead of bringing it against two or

the case might be?
A. | would not have joined them.
Q. But if you had any proceeding
against the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany you would not have joined the
other companies in that suit?
A. No, l would not have joined
them. There is no sense in joining
them, because it is wholly different
proposition Investigation p. 976)
1t is true that the senator COM
planned that other corporations
claimed to be wholly owned by the
Standard Oil company were not sued
before the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany, in which it was only a partial
owner but he expressly admits that
the joinder of such other companies
in a suit against the Waters-Pierce
Oil company would not have been
good practice and that there would
have been mo sense in joining
them"
Why this solicitude for the Wat
ers-Pierce Oil company and why does
the senator condemn on the hustings

when a witness under oath?

Living Relative. of Washington.


Many kindred of George Washing
ton dwell on and about the original
Washington plantation in Westmore-
land county, Virginia. John Washing
ton Of Brighton parish, Northampton.
shire, England, came to Virginia in
1857 and bought farm on the Poto-
mac river between Bridge creek and
Pope's creek, in what was then North
umberland county, but which long,
long ago became Westmoreland coun-
ty. He bought the farm from Col.
Pope, a great landholder in the early
colonial era, and whose daughter,
Anne Pope, became the wife of the
Immigrant John Washington. These
were the great grandparents of George
Washington the Great John Wash
ington, through his marriage to Anne
Pope, obtained lands outside Of the
farm purchased by him. The original
farm is owned by John E. Wilson, who
married Miss Betty Washington,
granddaughter of William Augustine
Washington, a nephew of George
Washington. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson are
advanced in years. A score or more
Of Washingtons live on their ancestral
lands within rifle shot Of the spot
where George Washington was born.
Some Of these people, writes Guy E.
Mitchell in Technical World Magazine,
are prosperous farmers and profes-
sional men; others are not prosperous.
They are all plain and simple folk
who have the good will and respect Of
their neighbors. A peculiar thing
about this family is that all its mem
bers have the distinctive Washington
features.

It Is well not to make faces at or
sighting remarks about persons who
look the part of foreigners. They may
be subjects Of governments that are
touchy. Calling one Of the least Of
these harsh name or biting him
lightly on the ear may bring on inter-
national complications Some of the
governments that pay no attention to
their subjects when at home unless
they organize bread riots or ask In
low, polite voices for universal suf-
frage, get mighty touchy when the
subject has left them for country
that he thinks he will like better.
Then his liberty and pursuit Of happi-
ness cause much tender solicitude.
They may step on him at home, but
over here they want his rights pro-
tected in three languages. Tears we'll
up in the eyes Of gentlemen whose
breasts look like pawnshop windows
by reason of their display of medals,
while secretly they wish we were so
small that they could lick us. How
ever, there may be more method in
their solicitude than would appear to
a person up a tree. If their wandering
boy doesn't get good job how can he
continue to send money to the old
folks and thus help to KEEP down the
poor rates?

At times when you don't feel just right, when have a bad stomach, take something right away that will assist digestion; not something that will stimu- late for a time but something that will positively do the very work that the stomach performs under ordinary and normal con- ditions. something that will make the food digest. To do this you must take natural di- gestant like KOdOl For Dyspep- sia. KOdOl is a scientific pre- paration of vegeta ble acids with natural digestants and contains the sane juices found in healthy stomach Each dose will digest more than 5000 grains of good food. It is sure to afford prompt relief; it digests what you eat and is pleasant to take.
