for the enemies of the Democratic

CARDINAL GIBBONS is "a.
Grand Old Man Receives Hundreds
Of COngratulatory Messages.


OF Congratulatory Messages.
Baltimore, July 23.-Cardinal
Gibbons, the grand old man" of the
Roman Catholic church in America
is "A years of age today. Friends,
colleagues and admirers of the pri-
mate of the American hierarchy all
over the world sent messages of
congratulation.
The cardinal was born in Louisi-
ana July %, 1884. In his infancy he
was taken to Ireland, where he re-
ceived his early education. Return
ing to America, he graduated from
St. Charles College, and on June 80,
1861, was ordained a priest. He
made rapid advancement and in 1868
was consecrated bishop and vicar
apostolic of North Carolina. In 1877
he succeeded to the see of Baltimore
In 1886 he received the browning
honor, of his life, and tribute was
paid to the American church, by his
elevation to the college of cardinals.
With all his learning and attain
ments, CARDINAL Gibbons is one of the
most modest of men, and is dearly
beloved by the priests under his
charge and thoroughly admired and
esteemed by citizens of every creed.
The personal habits of the cardinal
are of the simplest character His
daily life is one of incessant activity,
and viewing his age and slight frame,
the wonder is how he can accomplish
so much. He Is an early riser, get
ting up about $50 in the summer
and not later than in the winter.
He usually says thes7 o'clock mass,
celebrating almost every day, even
when he Is at the seaside In warm

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound Of imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Mr.. Democrat. VIII you do your part
to prevent such a calamity to the
party?
CHAPTER III.
/. Cues But what is that on
the ticket about the system of local

cal option" was voted into the Con

will stay there without action on

party to vote the Legislature instruc-
tions to create the Office of governor
or to do anything else provided FOL
by the Constitution of 1876.
A. CUES. Then, why did the Ii
quorites want this foolishness abou

he reads his newspapers, and he
never neglects the baseball column,

to accomplish great deal
The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1908-07-23

The question of local option was
placed upon the ticket by the liquor
interests to confuse the people voting
upon this question, therefore a vote
for local option in this election Is
voting to continue saloons in Texas;
so we advise all who are opposed to
these drunkard factories remaining
in Texas to vote as above indicated.
Our Campaign Committee conven-
ed in Dallas en- the 18th OF June,
and issued the following statement:
Whereas, Local Option is already
imbedded in the Constitution OF the
State of Texas, and it Is incumbent
upon the Legislature to perfect our
laws so as to make our Constitution
effective, therefore, .a
1--WE advise our people who are
opposed to the saloon to vote for the
SUI omission OF Constitutional
amendment providing for Statewide
prohibition without reference to the
local option question.
The system of local option Is
thoroughly 6SCaDI1SDeQ III our otdtS
The Legislature is by the very ma
ture Of things bound to make the
law as effective as possible, and every
man who opposes the liquor traffic Is
committed to it's principle. The men
who stand for the submission of
Statewide prohibition are the men
who have fought for and defended
our local option system at all times
and under every circumstance. If the
| system were called in question or in
any way endangered, except of being
supplanted by a system that we be-
lieve to be broader and better, they
would be the fret men to rally to its
support and defense.
The local option system is not In
any way an issue before the people
of Texas. The system is not called IL
question. The proposition put on thu
ticket suggests no specific Legislation
for the Strengthening of the law. l
Is simply subterfuge for the pur
pose of confusing the minds of vot
ers and Of dividing, II possible, thu
! prohibition vote. The Legislature II
under obligation to do all the alleged
local optionists ask for without any
instruction, and the friends of State
wide prohibition will be there to
help.
| III our enemes, who call them
selves local optionists. but who are
really opposed to prohibition in any
The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1908-07-23

kind of form, had put on the ticket
demand for some specific legisla-
ton for the Strengthening OF local
option, such as making the violation
OF the local option law felony and
making 1t felony to rent property
for that purpose, they would fnd our
committee helping them In every
way possible and voting for It to
man.
But as their proposition calls for
nothing that we have not as a Con-
stitutional right, and binoc- nothing
on the Legislature that Is not al
ready bound on that body, and ts
nothing but an effort to confuse she
voters OF Texas, we pass 1t by and
take our stand for the submission of
Statewide prohibition ~. - ~
In this we are only asking that
the people OF Texas be permitted to
pass on the question OF a Constitu-
tional amendment and settle 1t for
themselves, without In any way COM
hitting the democratic party ON the
question of prohibition
This will no doubt make the
scheme of the liquor people perfect
ly plain, and l hope you will assist
