the meanderings of the Red are as
lullabies; when East Texas is even
as a weaned child, and when the
rice belt is not even disposed to
ting a heat which threatens the
paint on Waco houses and Fort
Worth cheeks,
LAS matters now stand, the Dallas
district has a three-cornered condi-
ton to deal with, but this oHght not
to be. Messrs. Sterett and Mayfield
should compose their differences,
seeing that they represent the
outs which is ever bond of I'M
ion.
The district is represented at
present by Jack Beall, who lives at
Waxahachie and who Is anxious to
continue as seed distributor for the
five counties. 1t was he who ousted
Dudley Wooten, the brilliant Dallas
lawyer, who shortly afterward pack
ed his grip and took passage for
Alaska. Beall is standing by Senator
Bailey.
Earl Mayfield wants to draw the
salary that enables Jack Beall to
keep the wolf out of Ellis county.
Mr.. Mayfeld is citizen of Bosque
county and represents his district in
! the senate at Austin. 1t is said that
| he is mighty close to the Farmers
Union element and that's force not
to be despised, as Tom Campbell can
| testify. This Bosque senator refused
| to vote for Mr.. Bailey and is pro-
nounced in his opposition to what is
called Baileyism.
THE third man is Bill Sterett
the best known newspaper man in
| Texas. His home is in Dallas, the po-
litical storm center at this present
writing. Bill Sterett knows when to
plant potatoes and how to gather
turnip green's. He is up on the Mon
roe doctrine and could, were he
properly provisioned, find the North
Pole. He is authority on how to
bake cornbread and he plays golf
as though he were none other than
Andy Carnegie. But there are two
things-and two only-about which
Bill Sterett knows nothing, absolute
| " nothing, and these are poker and
politics This is not saying that he
| has no chance to win the prize, for
( Roger O. Mills managed to stay in
! Washington for twenty years and
/ never did he know the game of poll
/ tics. Col Sterett is reckoned as anti
| Bailey man.

In the course of an editorial tn

In the course of an editorial the
Rusk Press-Journal says: When
the next democratic convention NOM
mates Tom Campbell for governor
it will probably be little particular
what it puts in the platform, for
Tom has shown them how to carry
out platform demands For many
years most any old thing could be
put in the platform if it sounded
well, or was supposed to be pleasing
to any considerable number of vot-
ers without arousing any serious OPP
position of those opposed TO such
declarations, for such declarations
did not particularly mean anything.
There can be no doubt as to the in
terpretations of the platform made
by Governor Campbell, and there is
less room to doubt the injury that
has resulted. Governor Campbell
may have done his duty by the plat
form but it has been to the hurt of

AS TO PROPOSALS OF PEACE.

When Senator Bailey accepted at
the hands of a Texas legislature his
reelection as United States senator
he delivered himself of few propo-
sails of peace that will not, and
should not be soon forgotten. Among
other things Senator Bailey, in that
speech of acceptance, said:
Mark my words, not one of the
men who organized and who sought
to accomplish this conspiracy will
ever again wear the honors of Texas
democracy applause and cheers
They can not be trusted (applause),
because man who will betray the
peoples trust would betray the re-
public itself. Hessians were for hire,
and they are fit associates for men
like that. (Applause).
They say that this is a bitter
speech. | intend it to be bitter. If
might borrow a sentiment from the
great infidel, Robert G. lngersoll,
would say that | sometimes wish
that / might possess words of pure
hate, words that would writhe and
hiss like snakes, for only then could
l express my opinion of the men who
organized and conducted this con-
spiracy against the good name of
Texas. (Applause.) See what they
have done. They lied about me in
order to get the legislature to defeat
me, and then, when the legislature
would not defeat me, they lied about
the legislature. applause
IF you think we are not to have
a fight next year, you are mistaken.
They intend to control.* if control
they can, the delegates to the nation
and if l live l will devote my best
energies to seeing that not one of
their kind goes as a delegate to the
national convention from the state
of Texas. '(Applause.) If | live, not
one of their kind will ever again
disgrace the state of Texas by hold
ing an Office under its authority.
(Applause.)
Il want to record prediction
here tonight. Out of the forty men
that voted against my eXoneration
in this legislature, not four will be
back in the next legislature. Cap
plause.l | want to record another
prediction, that more than one-half
of them in less than -four years will
be outside of the democratic party,
where they belong.
They have made their own
graves. We are going to lay them
gently away in those newly made
graves. We are going to bury them
face down, so the harder they
scratch to get out, the deeper they
will go toward their eternal resting
place. daughter and cheers.)
There is no place hereafter in
the politics of Texas for the fence
rider. The man who tries to fight
between the lines is certain to be
killed. A straddler was never a dem
ocrat and never a safe legislator In
a contest like this men are either
right or wrong and to bubble over
whether you will vote the eXonera
ton today or week from today is
unworthy of sensible and honest
men
In my home | intend to put the
photograph of this legislature. Two
pictures will embrace that photo
graph. Over one / am going to write
The Roll of Honor" and | am going
to put you men there. over the, other
am going to write, The Rogues
Gallery and | am going to put there
the pictures of the men who have
betrayed the democratic party of
Texas, and I am going to swear my
children never to forget the one or
forgive the other. (Applause.)

In such instances the benefi-
cent aspect of injunction is OBJ
vious. If it were not for such a
power vested in courts destruc-
ton would be rampant and many
an honest workingman would be
in danger of becoming a partak-
er in crime.
It is supposed by some that in
junction bears hard on the lab
oring man. It is not so, unless
he threatens violence. In that
case, he receives the same treat
ment as any other man in like
circumstance.
Shall we do away with injunc-
tion in case of industrial disputes?
It is not possible unless we go in
to class legislation. Neither
would it enhance the welfare of
the laboring man. The restrain
ing order shields him against vio-
lent agitators. He is better off
if violence is never resorted to.
What good is promised in the
Denver anti-injunction plank?
Nothing, save a jury trial to
those in indirect contempt of
court. How many labor union
men will be cajoled by that? Few
we trow. Already some of the
leaders dub it "a delusion and a
snare" When a person commits
contempt of court in presence of
the judge-direct contemplate
court may punish instantly. Why
not do the same with the man
who is absent from court but dis
obeys the orders of the judge
indirect contempt? One is as
guilty as the other; and both
should be treated alike.

THE WHEAT.
Binding and Shocking It So as to Get
r.y.. Best Results.

Binding and Shocking It So as to Get
.r,~. Best Results.
From the time the wheat stands
waving yellow in the field until it is
in the hands of the miller is an i'm
portant period. The cutting of the
wheat may not be Il difficult task, but
much depends on how well the grain
is gathered and bound and shocked.
If the machine does not gather the
grain well, a good deal of it will be
lost falling down before the sickle or
stringing out from beneath the aprons.
Care should be taken to avoid this.
The binder should also gather the
straw evenly, so that the bundles may
not look ragged or part be lost in the
shocking. The binder should be shift
ed Just right, so that the bundles may
be bound near the middle. Binding
too close to the butts or heads will
make them incOnvenient to handle, as
we'll as cause the dropping out of a
part of the bundles.
The shocking of the wheat is very
important, especially in those sections
where rains and winds are frequent.
The bundles cannot be thrown together
any old way and be expected to stand
the storms of wind and rain.
My experience has proved that the
best and strongest shock is made in
the following manner: Place three
pairs of bundles in a row, then set one
bundle at each end and three on each
side. The caps should be placed on
lengthwise of the shock and spread SO
they will cover the top of the shock
and hang down on the sides, protect
ing the heads of the wheat and turn
ing the water like the roof Of house
For twenty years we built our shocks
in this manner and seldom ever lost
any wheat from winds or rain. 1t was
often necessary to go over the field aft
er a severe windstorm and replace
some of the caps, but seldom did we
have to rebuild shock.
After the wheat Is all cut and shock
ed it is the best plan to have it thrash
| ed as soon as it will do. 1t can theI

it's necessary to hand the waiter much
of anything, but when the waiter has
