Just such an evil house in Memphis

called on the young man to vindi-

your university?
Bailey's Devotion to Pierce.
If Mr. Bailey had come out and
denounced Pierce for deceiving him
in charging off Baileys loans to
profit and loss and entering them
on his oil books as money spent ION
account of legal expenses and all
that, we might possibly have still
trusted him-but this president of
the race horse club of America" this
jockey of the quarter-stretch, detec-
ted in his secret transactions with
Pierce, clings to him still with the
tenacity of devotion. The scorching
flame of public censure can not sew
er the tie that binds Bailey to his
Dear Pierce" and Pierce recipro-
Gates the devotion, for his attorney,
Johnson, testified that Pierce would
come to Austin and testify eff Bailey
wanted him." And that, too, when
Pierce was lodging arrest under
charge of false swearing.
When corporation chief wants to
secure the influence of a public Off
cial by using money he surely will
not take the man out before witness
ses, and after stuf1ing money in his
pockets, say, There now, I've brib-
ed you" No, no, loans and presents
are less dangerous. The Arabs say,
Give a man a horse and you will
own him." The bible says "the Dor
rover is the servant to the lender"
And all people in all ages recognized
this truth until the advent of Mr..
Bailey
Bailey's Malice and Egotism.
At Austin in 1907 Mr.. Bailey de-
nounced all the gentlemen of the
last legislature who refused to white
wash him as scoundrels, liars, hyen-
as and rogues; that he intended to
have rogue's gallery in which their
pictures should be hung, and that
he would drown them in the gulf.
He declared that he wished for the
venom of a snake that he might
make it hiss in his words ard said
that he would teach his children to
hate your legislators
Bailey's Fort Worth Ovation.
His ovation at Fort Worth was a
spectacular affair, carefully prepared
to catch the men who never think.
and who forget that the Interests"
have money and know how to char
ter sleeping cars with bands of mu-
sic, and to cook mock enthusiasm.
A chief of police accompanied by de-
tectives and armed policemen escor-
ted him from the railroad depot at
Fort Worth and shouted his praises.

visage and imposing gesture he
greeted his obsequious followers and
accepted their alteration. Is this the
way to instruct the human mind in
truth? Sometimes he exhibits the fe-
rocity of the race track bully, and
then with rubber shoes he touches
the soft pedal as he lays his fat hand
over the breast where a heart should
beat, and with bowed head he ex-
claims, Il have done no wrong" His
own friends, disguised with his
gross vulgarity, compelled him to
comparative decency at Fort Worth,
but a few days after that he broke
loose again at Gainesville, for he
called on his friends to make it i'm
possible for his opponents to live in
that town. He improved on his for
mer wish to drive them in the gulf,
and said that he wanted them burn
ed in fire twice as hot as the one
that consumed house there.
And thus it is that this boaster
struts from town to town, escorted
by the sheltered tribe of corporate
: agents, textbook lobbyists and SER
vile worshipers to insult our people.
