CHANCE IN TEXAS
 SHOWN BY RETURNS
Governor Campbell Stemmed Tide Only by Great Effort
 Against Honest Bob,

SAN ANTONIO. Texas. Aug. ike turns from the Democratic state pri- mary, held on July 25, are now suti1- ciently reported to show an interest ing change in the political attitude or the state Of Texas. This change IS best summarized by saying that Texas has abandoned it's radical attitude and is growing conservative. The re- volt against Governor Campbell wao was nominated on a radical platform and elected with a legislature that enacted maUy radical laws, best indi- eates this. Governors in Texas are elected for two years and precedent has always given a reelection without opposition. This year an unknown man, R. R. Williams, formerly a black smith at Cumby, known as Honest Bob the Village Blacksmith, came out against Governor Campbell, and the tide of opposition arose with rush. Campbell steamed it only by violent efTort, and finally was re nominated by a majority estimated from fifty to seventy-fiye thousand. Honest Bob it is said gives up his gubernatorial aspirations to become a justice of the peace at Cnmby- Had anybody realized the extent of the reaction against Tadicalism in Texas, the opposition to Governor Campbell would doubtless have been of differ
 d character.
 As a result of this fight, 1t is said that the Republicans will nomi- nata a strong independent Democrat fer governor, and make a determined effort to get up all Independent Re publican party in Texas. To this end | the negroes have been encouraged to 1 join the Democratic party, and have Ireceived no recognition at the hands of the prominent Republican faction
 The Republicans believe that if they could eliminate the negro from their i ranks. he would cease to be political tissue and many luke-warEe white l Democrats would turn Republican Their hope of raising up a Republican party in Texas are so much raised | that it is said ITO less a person than WiIlism H. Taft will campaign for lthe Republican ticket in Texas this
 fall.
 In the recent primary the contest lover the proposition to submit to the Ipeople an amendment to the state lconstitution enforcing state wide. pro Ihibition was bitterly contested. The
 result of the primary is yet in doubt lboth sides claiming the victory. The anfi-prohibitionists contend that tC lc9Try the proposition must receive g aiority of all votes cast. A great
 many voters did not vote on the ques
 ton at all, and while submission o
 the prohibition amendment probably lreceived a higher number of votes .han standardization, it seems improb labls that it received a majority oi Ian votes cast. This dispute vii ldoubtless be carried to the Democrat Ie state convention to be held in Sai
 Antonio, August Ii, F and 1s.
 The primary seems to indicate be
 yond a doubt that Texas has growI
 less radical, and that the next legis liation will not only not enact radiea laws but will repeal some of thos, lnoy ca the statute books.

Laughter.

Dr. Newell Dwight Hills advice to laugh, 30 minutes a day. is as good now as when he gave 1t. Laughter makes the heart lighter, aids diges ton and is usually good music. And yet how many countless people are there in this hard old world who never feel equal to laughter. This is espe- cially true of the poor. Life to many is such a tragedy that laughter would startle them should they utter 1t. The sad curse of want and hunger is s blight which only those who struggle unnecessarily can realize. Could the rich feel the bangs and fangs of pow. erty, charity would be more charitable giving more plentiful Hearts grow heavy with travail and suffering, and laughter is deep covered in the be Ing of one whose hope is scared. II is easy for the successful to laugh but they would get more real benefit from a laugh which commanded 9 chorus through good acts kindly done those who cannot feel it in theil hearts to follow Dr. Hillis' advice.

CLEARING THE BUGS.
City Workmen Are Battling With the
 Beetles on the Green.

Caretaker McEvoy of the green and a few helpers are still conducting a warfare against the beetles on the green and appear to be doing well, but there is too much for them to do. The beetles are making forced march, es back into the trees and if they make good then it will be too late to do anything. Superintendent Walker has the cooperation of Chief Snagg of the fire department and he can have the backing of the superintend- ent of the police department If he wants it, so that between the whole of them they ought to be able to han dle a few puny beetles.
 Probably there is no way of com polling owners of private property to do anything towards destroying the pests on their own trees but 1t does seem that anybody who has a nice elm would feel 1t duty to protect 1t. What fuss one would make in case horse should reach out and nibble a small piece of the bark of tree on his premises. This would be a small thing compared with the damage be- ing done by the beetles and many take no notice of them. The elm at the corner of the green near the Well ton fountain Is dead and Mir Walker will soon have it removed.

Hence the letter to learn if the original aloltments are still avail able. A number of Indians have agreed to return.
