Here is one point on which the i'm.
migration laws might easily be
strengthened. American citizenship is
not right, but a privilege. and it
should be SO construed. says the New
York Tribune. If the country offers
exceptional opportunities TO the
strong and intelligent Of other coun-
tries. 1t is worth their while to prove
that they are entitled to share in
these opportunities. No one can find
any legitimate fault with this pro-
cedure, except the criminal and the
incompetent. and the American people
need consult their wishes only in so
far as it may be desirable to find out
what they would prefer and then act
to the contrary.

BONDS FOR STEEL BRIDGES
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SUB
NIT TO THE PEOPLE CUES
TION OF $4,000 ISSUE.

In carrying forward their plans of
making permanent the good roads
work they are now doing the county
commissioners at their recent meet
ing decided to submit the question
of issuing $25, 700 worth of bonds to
the voters of the county.
The money derived from the sale
of these bonds, if they are author
lied, will be used in the erection of
steel bridges.
Elsewhere in The News is printed
an official call by the commissioners
for the election, which will be held
on the 18th day of April
The proposed bonds, of which
there are eleven, will bear interest
at per cent, and will be retired
in thirteen years-$2, 900 year for
twelve years and $1,000 the last
year.
Quite number of the counties of
the state have issued bonds to carry
on their road work, and others are
falling in line. Whether the people
of Terrell county are willing to take
this progressive step remains to be
seen.
Terrell county has spent a great
deal of money in building and keep
ing up wooden bridges, and there
is no doubt that it would be economy
in the long run to replace them with
steel bridges as they are needed.
1t will take two-thirds of the
qualified voters to carry the election
for bonds.

IN THE sPANIsH-AMERICAN WAR

During the Spanish-American war
many of our soldiers suffered severe
ly from cramp in the stomach and
bowels, due in most cases to the
change of climate and the water they
were obliged to drink.
Mr.. Geo. A. Lake of Dennison,
Texas, gives an interesting account
of how he came to the relief Of some
of the men in his regiment: Just
as [ was starting for the war" says
Mr.. Lake, Mr. Davis gave me a
large bottle of SlOan's Liniment. l
used it in our troop at Camp Mobrey
for cramps and dysentery among the
men. 1t took finely and lots Of the
boys of Troop l., First Texas Cav
airy, U. S. ", will never forget the
name of Sloan's Eminent. One case
in particular was our bugler, Fred
Ormsley; he was cramped until he
could hardly stand it. 1 gave him a
dose of Sloan's Liniment and in five
minutes he was up and ready to
go on with the troop"
Every druggist carries Sloan's Lin
iment in stock. You can get it in
25c., soc. or $1.00 sized bottles. It's
good thing to have in the house
for rheumatism, toothache, sore
throat, asthma and any pain or stiff
ness.
