Mr.. Bozvem, of the Arlington,
Teras, Journal Defends the
IOzO0 Republican and
ID. j. Neil

Why shouldn't Mr. W. A. Bowen, of the
Arlington (TeXas) Journal, allow Mr.. G.. D.
Reimers to do his own scrapping? Why place
that ambitious individual in the unenviable
attitude of using a substitute? And whv
should Bowen assume that his kind of assist
ance is the sort that Reimers and Neill want?
Isn't 1t possible that one or both of them NAV
realize that their case is liable to injury I'm
der the raw, mvarnished and somewhat hvs-
terlcal management of W. A Reimers?
Besides, if they've got to hire some one else
to do their sweeping, why bother with such
bedraggled and frazzled out broom as the
Arlington Journal?
Why not take passage in some fySt-czass
car-some newspaper that is worth while?
Ii Neil and Relmers need help, at this Skin
mlsh-lme stage of the fight, what's the reason
that they don't get Somebody to get busy?
Who wants to take the candy from an in
FAINT like Bowen? Why it would be almost
as bad as to hit a woman whose condition is
varlously described, generally understood. and
endures in Lord Byrons poetry.
(Of course, Bowen will puzzle his nogoin
over the latter part of the foregoing sentence.
but my cruelty to him shall 90 no further
than that)
Now, Bowen, it's because you somehow re-

My information about Reimers came from
private sources which appeared to be trust
worthy: His C0-0perat0r has alluded to me
vlclously, over and often, and not once, to nv
knowledge, has he himself explained how he
and NELL euchered Pyle and those other GEN
tlemen out of the paper Nor has he denied
IN his own paper-so far as I have seen-that
he is an Iowa Republican. And until REIN
ers does Mr.. Bowen has no right to expect
any one to take his word in denial.
AS to Reimers and Neill favoring Republi-
can politics, their Oacro paper proved 1t on
them. They favored the Hannacrat Ship
Subsidy which the rankest Republicans de-
mand.
The entire Texas delegation in Congress
Democrats, of course) voted against it; and
the Galveston resolutions which Duckworth,
Jackson, and the Co-operat0r crowd indorsed
were taken to be a slap at the Texas Con-
gresslnen.
Those resolutions were so construed by the

Salaries

BY some inadvertence, we used ''year" in
stead of term, in the answer to Congress-
man Towards letter. 1t was $4,000 per
term, and not gear, that M. C.'s used to get,
for about mine months ooorh.
The patriots didn't consider themselves suf-
ticlently salaried, however, and they voted
Counting up salary and perquisites, they
are now giving themselves nearly $4,000 per
month, for their actual months of service;
and they are VIGOROUSLY absent from the ses-
sions, much of the time.

CHARGE OF TINT SORT STAND
AGAINST HIM?
Mr.. Bowen refers to me as Watson Of
"Where-ano-I att fame.
If his knowledge of Remers is no more &C
curate than his information about me, it isn't
worth printers ink.
The late James E. Cobb, of Alabama, "a
most lovable gentleman,) took little too
much "Beef Tea, got funny during a speech
on the floor of the House, and lost his line of
thought. Buck Kilgore, of Texas, was pre-
siding. Some of Cobb's colleagues, seeing his
condition, leased him with questions After
turning to answer one of these, he faced the
big, good-hearted Kilgore with the query
"Nr. Speaker. where I at?"
Old Buck laughed and replied
''The Chair doesn't consider that parliament
airy question:
In writing of drunkenness in Congress-,
[ made mention of this incident, without
naming my good friend, Mr.. Cobb It was
General Joe Wheeler who attacked me about
the charge itself, and thus brought on for
NAL investigation of the matter. Seeing what
was ahead, Joe Bailey come, and asked me
not to expose Cobb. [ told him that | had
never intended to do so; and that [ deeply
regretted General Wheeler's course.
Mr. Cobb, however, was SO generally known
as the member meant, that he took the holder
step of appearing before the Committee, and
denying that he was intoxicated. 1.-THE
words were down in the stenographer's notes,
and were never denied.)
Indeed, he was not what you would call
drunk; but he evidently felt his liquor, was.
''funny'; and his colleague, Colonel William
G. Oates went to him and got him to take
his seat.
AS to my having tried to ''seduce the peo-
pie to forsake the sound principles of Democ-
racy'', as Mr.. Bowen charges, my strenuosity
has had just the opposite purpose.
My principles are practically the same as
those contained in the Democratic platform
of 1860. They are Jeffersonian principles adj
justed to modern conditions I have always,
by preference, called myself Jeffersonian-
though in the original Latin and Greek, the
words POpulist and Democrat are the same
in meaning
There was actually Populist party in the
Roman Republic The Gracchi, Marius, and
Caesar were leaders of it. The latter was as
sassinated by the plutocrats of his day for
proposing reform measures similar to those
we Pops advocated.
There were $4,000 Pops in Texas; and those
whom [ saw at Dallas and Bonham, in 1896,
we're as fine a lot of men as [ ever addressed
How I wish that I could again take the
stump in Texas for "Soua1d Democratic p7>i1-
cipzes"!
And how I wish that I could hear Aqodreao

In other words, everything was perfectly
quiet, calm and serene-not to say lovely.
The Farmers Union papers were jogging

THE LARGEST MERCHANT MARINE
ON EARTH
Mr.. Bowen speaks of the D. j. Neill's emf
nent services to the farmers of Texas
Wasn't D. J. Neill leading secession
movement last December? If the Texas
Union had listened to him, where would, the
National Farmers Union now have been?
Didn't he hurt the Texas Union enormously?
Hasn't he been violently assailing those Union
men who refuse to obey his dictaton? Doesn't
he himself, in his paper, whine about re-
gaining "lost ground"?
You can't gain any ground by breaking
the Union into factions, can you? That's
just what Neill did, and is continuing to do
Charley Barrett handed Neill dollar to
pay for years subscription to his paper
Neill entered the dollar and Chorzey's name,
in the list of those who were putting up cash
for Neill's Washington trip, What was the
purpose? His act was equivalent to saying
"Now, Boys, come along with your dollar
See what your President has done He has
set you good example. He indorses my ap-
peal He sends his dollar. Send yours, and
be like Charley Barrett"
Was that honest?

WOOD ALCOHOL
 FATAL BEVERAGE
THREE PERSONS ARE KILLED IN OKLAHOMA BY MIXING THE
 POISON IN WHiSkEY.
Fourth Man, Believed 10 Be Respon- sibIe, May Also Be Dead-Result
 of a Long Drunken Spree.

Fort Smith, Ark-Word has been received here that three men died in terrible agony at Heavener, Okla {, as q result of drinking whiskey poi soned with wood alcohol The dead men are; Jack Hughes, a watchman. J. B. White, a grocer's clerk, and Joe Heavener, a farmer. A painter named Lewis, who does not live at Heayener, but who has been working there for some time, aud who is said 10 have put the wood alcohol in the whiskey, left on a Kansas City South ern train, and it is supposed that he is also dead, as it is said that he drank more of the death-dealing po- tion than any of the others.
 The four men had been drinking heavily for several days, and Lewis is said to have been d dope" fierd. Opinion is divided as to whether Lewis put wood alcohol ill the liquor with the intention of poisoning the men or whether he was so intoxicated at the time that he did not know what he was doing.

Quaint Table Manners.

Jerome s. McWade, the Duluth mil lionaire, talked at a dinner about the delights of a backwoods vacation.
 T go to a quaint backwoods village every summer" he said, and number less are the quaint people I meet there.
 "Old Boucher, for instance, the jan itor of the village church, is most amusing with his quaint ways. I had old Boucher to lunch one day, and the cold lobster was served with a mayonnaise sauce. When my servant offered this sauce to Boucher. the old man stuck his knife in it, took up a little on the blade, tasted it, then shook his head and said:
 Don't choose none'"

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. of Suffering Is Enormous and There Seems but One
 Remedy.

From several investigations tha. have been made by the National As sociation for the Study and Proven ton of Tuberculosis it is estimated that on an average about 15 per cent. of the prison population of the country is afflicted with tuberculosis. On this basis, out of the S0,000 prison CTS housed in the penal institutions of the United States at any given time, no less than 12,000 are infected with the disease. If the Philippine islands and other insular possessions were taken into consideration the number would be much larger. Some of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan sas and Ohio show such shocking con- ditions with reference to tuberculosis that many wardens admit that these places of detention are death traps. Similar conditions could be found 1n almost every state, and in the major ity of cases the only sure remedy is the destruction of the old buildings and the erection of new ones.

LEG A MASS OF HUM0R

About seven years ago small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle It irritated me so that I began to scratch it, and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. 1 lost ffty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would have to scratch it until l had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffer ing during those seven years. The pain, modification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply inde- scribable on paper and one has to ex- perience it to know what it is.
 q tried all kinds of doctors and rem edies but I might as well have thrown my money down sewer. They would dry up for little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad If not worse. 1 had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuti- cura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for little while I began to see change, and after taking dozen bottles of Cuti- cura Resolvent in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment, the trouble had entirely disap- peared and my leg was as fine as the day was born. Now after lapse of six months with no signs of a recur renee I feel perfectly safe in extend ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. w. H. White, 312 E. Cabot St., Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. and Apr 13, 1909."

A Bernhardt Trick.

Mime. Sarah Bernhardt, who is sup posed to be something of an artist as well as an actress, was recently called upon in one of her marvellous crea- tions to enact the role of sculptor, and to model certain bust in view of the audience. This fairly electrified the critics, but when going into rhap- sodies over the technical skill in ham, ding the clay which Mime. Bernhardt exhibited they showed that they knew little of the artistic tricks of actors and actresses; as matter of fact, she does nothing of the kind. The bust is modelled and baked, and over it is placed damp clay of the same color This the talented actress merely pulls off, exposing the beautifully modelled head underneath.

SIMPLE STATEMENT OF FACT
Mir. Johnson Unable to See Where in Any Way He Had "Put His
 Foot in It."

It is common to deplore the lack of humor in a person. Yet the very want of it may save certain amount of embarrassment, as was the case on a certain occasion with President Johnson. He was one day" says a writer in Harper's Magazine, visit ing my mother, and 8 friend, Mrs. Knox, widow, came in. She had known MT. Johnson some years be- fore, when he was a member of the legislature but they had not met since then.
 After mutual recognition, MT. Johnson said: How is MT. Knox? l have not seen him lately
 :" He has been dead six years said Mrs Knox.
 "I thought I hadn't seen him on the street. said MT Johnson.
 When Mrs. Knox left, my mother said, laughing: That was funny mis- take of yours about MT. Knox.

 Curiosity had by that time become a sauce to literature, so the shopper hurried downstairs to inspect the doll houses.

 MT Campbell encountered the un- known man or the desert in a fright ful condition. He was in the last stages of desert exhaustion, devoid of clothing, sunburned, blistered and crazed with his tongue swollen enor- mously, a pitiable object, and unable to speak.
 He was tenderly conveyed to camp but kind aid came too late, for an hour after he had absorbed the first cup of water he expired

Before they had gone far it be- gan to sprinkle, and the old woman told the coachman to fasten down the side curtains of the wagonette.
 He drove up to hitching post be- side the road and, dismounting, hung his new hat on the post, and began to fasten the curtains.

A New Version

Lawyers have a peculiar system of abbreviation, such words as trustees, executors being cut down to trees, exors, and admors. This practise led to an amusing slip on the part of solicitor, who, somewhat late in life, abandoned his profession and entered the church A few Sundays after his ordination he startled his congrega- tion while reading the lesson by deliv- ering one of the passages as follows: "I see men as trustees walking"
