4 fREIGHT TRAIN IS WRECKED
About sixteen Cars Are pitched FRI
day Morning Near Red OAK
and Man Is lniercd.

A northbound freight train was
wrecked on the Katy Friday morning
about mile south of Red Oak. The
| cause OF the accident is unknown.
About sixteen cars were ditched aud
some OF them were considerably
damaged
The morning passenger trains
detoured over the Central between
here and Dallas.
The wreck occurred just after the
engine crossed a small bridge which
was destroyed by fire last winter. Tha
sixteen cars which left the tra;'i are
piled up in a confused mass. Some
of them are across the tack while
others are reposing on their Sides on
each side Of the roadbed. Most OF he
cars were loaded with wheat and
watermelons and some Of these were
almost completely demolished Gram
and melons are scattered all along
the right of way. The tender broke
loose from the engine, left the track
and turned over. The engine remain
ed on the track. The track was badly
torn up for for some distance. Two
work trains arrived on the scene
about 1 O'Clock to begin repairing
the tracks, but it will be late this af-
ternoon before the wreCker reaches
there to begin picking up the wreck
ed cars.
One member of the crew was injur.

could not be learned, sustained a Sc

her committee had decorated and
made beautiful the tables from which
was served splendid cold lunch.

and The sirst will be the establish
ment of agricultural homes up to 200
acres in size. The land will be sold
on terms running over thirty-one and
one-half years, and the successful APP
plicants will have so per cent of their
passage money advanced by the gov
eminent, repayable in five years. The
land is all within $50 miles of the
port of Melbourne, and is ready for
the pillow and the erection of houses.
In conjunction with these agricultural
colonies the government proposes to
establish agricultural farm laborer3'
homes on areas of land with max
imum extent of ten acres. To these
men exactly the same condition VIII
apply as to securing the freehold, and
also the same advantages with regard
to the passage money
I'VE propose also to deal with
another section of the community
that is, the section who cannot get
right away. For instance, a tenant
farmer has a lease which probably
does not expire for twelve of thirteen
months, and in this case the govern
ment will be prepared, without losing
any time, to carry out for the success
full applicants whatever improvements
they decide upon; the erection OF
houses for them, the fencing of their
land 50 that when they are able 10
come out, in twelve or eighteen
| months, they will be able to walk in
| to their improved holding"
Asked il the Victorian government
would advance the money necessary
| for building the houses, Sir John
| Tavener replied, THE erection of
! the houses will be quite distinct, and
| the cost will be borne entirely by the
settlers, and will be quite independ-
| ent of the purchase of the land. In
| cases where they require financial as
sistance, however, IL they demon
| strate themselves to be good settlers,
| DESTROYS of building home. thny
| will have the assistance
Sir John added that 1t was hoped
| to settle 10000 British people IN

DAVIDSON SURE TO WIN.
q. +. Britain Says Other Candidates

Realize They're Losing Rapidly.
On April 81 it was conceded "by
the interests" that Davidson was too
late, but within a short time he had
ample recognition at the hands OF
his opponents, and by May 1 the
three opposing candidates reluctantly
admitted that the old man was gain
ing strength; today they recognize
that strength as most formidable 1t
seems they have turned their com
bined mud batteries in the generals
direction. This action is most signifi-
cant. If Davidson is so weak then It
is folly to waste time scrapping him
The fact is, each candidate realizes
that the man who beats Davidson is
our next governor; therefore they
unwittinsly evidence their fears.
PoindeXter wants to know why
Davidson, as attorney general, failed
to crimnally prosecute certain OF
the trust officials. Now the fact is
no one knows better than judge
PoindeXter that criminal prosecution
by General Davidson was unauthoriz-
ed. We all recall that during the
progress of the Waters-Pierce OH
case the assertion by constitutional
lawyers CD daily found its way INFO
print that Davidson's efforts would
avail nothing; but today II. c. Pierce
ct al stand ready to swear that Da
wilson got results. To my mind that
was battle royal for the supremacy
of the people or the interests. Legiti-
mate capital and legitimate business
is what Texas wants and believe she
will not allow any other from this
good day.
There are millions of idle Texas
money alone seeking legitimate In
vestment. to say nothing of outside
capital Honest capital doesn't care
to compete with shady competitors.
for it is a fact that unrestrained cap
ital, as a corporate power, can and
will crush the small competitor in a
most effective manner; all well in
formed people recognize this as a
proven fact.
Now it occurs to my mind that
democrats another two years will re-
quire the usual oath of office from
every official and the officer qualify
ing and taking this oath as a matter
of form cant expect much at the
hands of the people thereafter.
| am quite sure that General Da
wilson has not been caught apologize
ing for complying with the oath al
ministered to him as attorney gen.
eral.
The past three weeks have shown
phenomenal gains for Davidson over
the middle west. | am advised by
friends in east, south and north Tex
as that similar conditions prevail in
their respective sections. The newly
acquired strength appears to come
from each of the opposing candidates
about equally, with Colquitts losses
possibly heaviest. am quite salts
fled and am sure that Davidson will

THOUGHTS OF THINKERS,

Henry D. Thoreau.-A single
gentle rain makes the grass many
shades greener. So our prospects
brighten on the influx of better
thoughts. We should be blessed if
we lived in the present always and
TOOK advantage of every accident
that befell US, like the grass which
confesses the influence of the
slightest dew that falls on it and
did not spend our time in atom
ing for neglect of past opportunities,
which we call doing our duty.
j. R. Bourne, Jr.-Successful and
permanent government must rest
primarily on recognition of the
rights of men and the absolute SOW
ereignty of the people. Upon
these principles is built the super
structure of our republic. In many
instances the people have lost con-
fidence in their public servants the
same as have many stockholders in
corporate management. The remedy
in government is the direct selec-
ton by the people of their public
servants with the resultant ac-
countability of them to the people
and not to a political machine or
boss.
Harry y. Owen.-One of the
gravest dangers facing the Ameri-
can people is the widespread belief
that success in life is based not up
on pull and influence. There is all
too manifest a lack of that spirit
which makes its own success against
obstacles. Men are looking for some
easy way to make money. They are
coming to believe that the govern
ment owes snap to the individual.
This accounts in part for the wide
spread present popularity of the
conservation movement. In the gen.
eral mind it consists of ditching and
grading contracts, dredging, salari-
ed positions public expen-
diture flowing into the private
purse. To be sure, it is not un-
natural that the private citizen hav-
ing become accustomed to the idea
of public subsidy to corporations
should desire a subsidy for himself
but the starting point is wrong.
