Tariff Tinkerins,

To take the tariff law in hand
And fit it to the taste
Is quite an easy task IL one
Has several years to waste.
To u a little here and there
And add a line or two
Is such a simple task IL one
Doesn't have the work to do.
The man who daily sits around
The little corner store
Can tell YOU how to cut it up
And confidence restore.
And any one who wasn't near
The place where II was done
Would say that to revise 1t right
Was just the same az fun.
But when a fellow on the job
Gets busy with his knife
To eprune away the surplus words
He meets a deal Of strife.
Each infant industry declares
With moisture in it's eye
II any of its corns are pared
That 1t will surely die.
And that is why a congressman
May earn at least his pay,
For when the case is up to him
And he must whack away
He cannot figure on results
Nor answer at q glance.
And SO lie has to shut his eyes,
Strike out and take a chance.

MRS. H0WlRlPRESIDEN7
And Another Palestine Lady Is Hon.
ored In Election of Officers For
Daughters of confederacy.

The following is culled from the
Galveston News report of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy state
convention at. Brentwood:
The president announced that the
next matter for consideration was the
annual election of officers. Mrs. R.
A Num- of Crockett was standing be-
fore the chair had completed the an
nouncement and gained recognition.
She said: when the time comes
around for the election of officers, l
am always saddened because l have
become so attached to the officers in
charge that l regret to give them up.
Our retiring president has been alto
gether lovely in. her three years ser
vice, and we regret to part with her,
but she can no longer hold the office.
There comes one from the Holy Land
of Palestine, as the travelling men
are pleased to call it, whose name
will present as one in every way ca
pable, worthy and efficient. She has
worked early and late in every posi-
ton in which she has been placed.
AS our Kate Daffan retires let her be
succeeded by Mrs Kate B. Howard of
Palestine"
The name was greeted with con-
tinued applause; it was some minutes
until Mrs Watson of Waxahachie
could second the nomination. She
was followed by Mesdames Ledford of
San Angelo, Moore Murdoch of Oak
Cliff and Elgin of Marshall, who had
words of praise for the faithful work
of the nominee.
Mrs. ]. D. Roberdeau arose, laying
no claim to oratory or eloquent Ian
guage, but said she would present a
name near and dear to Texans and
the south, name that fame had
placed at the head. She submitted
the name of Mrs John H. Reagan of
Palestine. The announcement was
greeted with such applause that it be-
came evident that the contending fac
tons would make hard fight for
the candidates
In the preparations for the ballot
it was learned that ont of the 30
votes of the division there were 204
represented. This vote represented
of $3.50. A count of the
ballots gave Mrs. Howard 118 and
