IDEA TAKING HOLD.


The idea of a fruit palace for Pal
estine next summer is taking hold on
the people. The question was brought
up in the Board of Trade meeting last
night and~it was thought so well OF
that It was made an order of special
business for the next meeting of the
Board. That is moving along. The
Herald, is enthusiastic about this
movement because it recognizes in it
a good opportunity to pull off good
show here, and a good opportunity to
put this city and section before the
world as fruit and truck center. The
news agencies will handle an item Of
this character all over the country
without price, where the city could
not buy a line of similar advertising
for all the money it could raise in
four years. The Herald hopes that
since the matter has been taken hold
of there will be no let-up until the
idea materializes into real and per-
manent fruit palace and show. Think
about and talk about it, and then act
about it.

THE SMALLEST MAN.

One of the attractions at the Dallas
fair this year is what is claimed to be
the smallest man in the world. The
midget's name is Prince Nfcoli, a Rus
sian, and his height is % IA inches.
He is 80 years old and weighs about
II pounds. We are not ready, hoy
-e-r; -tto-aeeeeefe psltse e6ntsy
ton that he is the smallest man on
earth; we know two or three who are
smaller. One of these is the fellow
who gets his living and educates his
children at the expense of a town,
yet knocks the town and its institu-
tons every time he has an opportu-
nifty; another is the fellow who in
duces an editor to send him a paper
a year on time and at the end of the
year marks refused" on the paper
and sticks it back in the office; still
another is the fellow who urges every
body to patronize him because he is a
home man, yet sends every dollar he
can out of town and country. Oh, no;
the prince will find several men
smaller than he can hope to be in this
country.-Honey Grove Signal.

he seels at that figure, as he proposes
to do, he will receive approximately
ten thousand dollars for his accumu-
lated crop. He is proceeding along
the right line, by making cotton his
surplus crop. Such farmer, working
under such a plan, can hold his cot
ton for a favorable price and at the
same time make his living and keep
out of debt. There is hardly a day in
the year that this man has not some
thing grown by him to offer for sale;
he has money income all the time.
And that is what all of our people
should be doing, making a living out
side of the cotton crop and selling the
cotton when they please If this
man turns loose this fail at fifteen
cents he will have a pretty little
bank account and will be independ-
ent.

De Optinnist's Corner
Daily Helps to Health
and Happiness
By GEORGE F. BUTLER. A.M..MD.

During the first six or seven
years of child's life special
attention should be given to its
physical training rather than
the intellect. After this period,
if the physical constitution is
good, the education of both
should receive attention. Up to
six or seven years of age chill
dren should be left like little
lambs, to roam around the
house, and in the yard, in the
buoyancy of their spirits, skip
ping and jumping, free from
care and trouble. Parents
should not educate from books.
Children generally. will be in
quisitive to learn things of
nature. They will ask questions
with regard to things they see
and hear, and parents should
improve the opportunity to in
struct and patiently answer
those little inquiries. They can
in this manner get the advan-
tage of the enemy, and fortify
the minds of their children by
sowing good seeds in their
hearts, leaving no room for the
bad to take root. The mothers
loving instruction at tender
age is what is needed by chill
dren in formation of character.
If you have several little chill
dren in your home, give each
one a place in which to keep
its own toys. Make it rule
that each child should help the
other, and help each other to
pick up the toys, books, or
games, and put the house in or
der before it is time for the
evening meal.

and assiduously to bring about a
situation that would save Joseph
Weldon no matter the winner. With
Colquitt,- a Bailey supporter, leading
the anti-prohibitionists and with
PoindeXter, another Bailey supporter,
leading the prohibitionists, all would
be serene in the sanctum of the es-
teemed Post and in the sanctum of
the esteemed Record But it so hap
pens that Cone johnson is the favor
tie of the prohibitionists, and Cone is
gall and wormwood and turpentine to
Brethren Rienzi and Clarence. Not
that Cone isn't fairly respectable, but
it's common report that he is opposed
to Joseph, and that is the one unpar-
donable sin in the circle where Rienzi
and Clarence live, move and have
| their secret caucuses. We marvel
at the assurance of these brethren of
ours. They know that the gods on
high Olympus would Smoker out loud
did the prohibitionists undertake to
support Bailey supporter. For
Bailey, long the champion of state
wide prohibition, deserted the cause
and went over to the enemy, appar-
emily for a consideration. How would
it be possible, under circumstances
like these, for the prohibitionists to
give in their allegiance to a man like
PoindeXter, who wants to save Bal
ley? To suppose that they could do
such a thing would be to challenge
their sincerity. Hence it has come to
pass that Cone Johnson, who has the
zeal of a crusader, is a five-to-one |
favorite with the prohibitionists. And |
this is why we are awful sorry for
Rienzi and Clarence, to stand to
lose from Dan to Beersheba should |
Johnson capture the nomination.
And these brethren are bound to rec
ognize in Mr.. Colquitt at best a three
quarter nag. If they could get Col
quit out of the way and put C. K.
Bell. on the track, they would have
cnance for their money. But it so T
happens that Bell, too, is antf-BaiIey,
and they are first for Bailey and then
for personal liberty" Sorry, awful
sorry for you, brethren beloved of the
Post and Record.-Waco Times-Her-
aid.
We weep at the picture. But as a
matter or fact Cone seems to have put
the Opposition" up against it. If the
pros have the keen sense to follow
up the advantage and rally to Johnson
there will be something real fancy
pulled off in politics next year As
The matter now stands Johnson seems
to be master of the situation.

STRANGE DESERTIoN OF
PRINCIPLE.

Mr.. Bryan's position is quite similar
to that which the States announced at
the beginning of the discussions of
the tariff enacted by the recent con
gress-announcing that he desired to
aid in the election of a democratic
majority in the next house, and for
that reason his discussions were to
the propagation of a principle rather
than to fight against individuals. AS
a matter of fact, there never has been
any doubt that the recreant demo
Gratis in both houses, whatever their
reasons for voting as they did, had no
thought of becoming republicans or
of being anything else save democrats.
By some strange mental process,
which we have been unable to under.
stand or they to explain, they appear
to have been carried away with the
notion that the southern democracy
was rapidly changing its time-honored
position with regard to the tariff and
was drifting in the direction of pro.
lection. 1t was an utterly foolish de.
fusion, in so far as it referred to the
attitude of the masses, but that many
southern congressman and senators
believed it there seems to be no good
reason to doubt.
The only plausible hypothesis upon
which we can suggest an explanation
of the strange desertfon of democratic
principle on the part of so many. dem
ocrats is that the clamor of the tariff
hungry special interests was so much
louder than the Still, small voice" of
duty, or than the voiceless, though
written, platform. obligations, that
they really were deceived. However,
we are not offering explanations nor
seeking to palliate a dereIiction of
duty which it is impossible to defend
except upon the assumption that party
pledges are not inviolate, and that
the acceptance of office at the hands of
a political party carries with it no OBJ
legation that cannot be ignored with

democrats is not against individuals.

volving the integrity of party author
ity and the philosophy that underlies
the scheme of government by political
parties. AS Mr.. Bryan suggests, the
supreme effort should be directed to
obtaining control of the next house,
making sure that every democrat who
is elected shall go to Washington en-
phatfcally and distinctly pledged to
support under all circumstances the
time-honored principles of the demo-
cratic party.-New Orleans States.

District Attorney Jerome of New

at a salary of $4,000 a year. Accord
