SEARCY AND BISHOP
Pleased Good Sized Audiences at the
Lyric Last Night.

The management says:
The vaudeville team of Searcy and
Bishop. at the Lyric last night, were
greeted with good sized audiences at
both performances, and they certain
ly went big, being without doubt one
of the very best black face teams that
has yet appeared on the local stage.

lie domain. AS long as the people
are on guard there is little to be
feared from the crooked official. 1t
is only when the people go to sleep
that the public plunderer can do his
best work. The commission form of
government, too, is doing much to put
the crooks out of office With a few
clean, patriotic men administering
the affairs, and with all of the obliga-
tons and responsibilities clearly fas-
tened on them, there is not near the
chance for robbery as in the old plan.
Graft is possible to any very great
extent only when the people go to
sleep. And just now they are very
much awake. Don't turn pessimistic
and think that all or even most pub
lie men are grafters; such is not the
case. The crook is the exception.

STILL, MAKE THE EFFORT.

To the Denison Herald: If you work
as hard to see that the county option
law is enforced as you did to prevent
the carrying of such law, you will
see results that will wake them up
all along the line. Get busy.-Pales-
tine Herald.
A nice summer job, that, trying to
do what both state and national gov
ernments have failed to do and which
has never yet been accomplished in
towns the size of Denison and Sher-
man.-Denison Herald.
Still, good Herald, you will admit
that the success of the effort, as in
the enforcement of any law, depends
very much on the state of public SEN
timent, and we passed the task up to
you because We have observed that
the Herald has a goodly influence
with its people. AS to perfect en-
forcement of the law, that is not to
be expected. No law has ever been
perfect. The law against murder is
backed by penalty of death, and vet
men murder. But public sentiment,
upheld by officers who will do their
whole duty, can minimize the viola
tons and make an improvement on
the lack of law. Think it over.

nouncement of Mr. w. l.. Hoover as a

with the |. & G. n. for twelve years
past, and has a host of friends. He
was born and raised in East Texas.
He says he wants this office because
he thinks he can fill it with credit to
himself and the community, and that
should he be elected he will conduct
same in fair, fearless and impartial
manner. Mr.. Hoover is a good man,
intelligent, and well liked by those
who know him, and his friends will
try to accomplish his election.

PALEsTINE'S KEY RATE.

The key rate of insurance for Pal
estine has been fixed by the state
board at forty-eight cents. Insurance
men advise us that this leaves the
rate just about where it has been
heretofore. In the analysis of the
rate some important facts are to be
noted, as an explanation of why the
rate is fixed All of the per cent of
charges are based on DEFICIENCIES. For
instance, the fact that Palestine has
no standpipe adds a cost of six cents
on the hundred dollar value. Because
adds another two cents Because
the city has less than five paid fire
men adds three cents; as the truck
wagon is not kept in the fire station
and regular team provided another
two cents is added. No fire alarm
system adds five cents to the total.
Inadequate police system adds four
cents. And so on until the total of
forty-eight cents is arrived at. By
comparison, however, Palestine has
Jared better with the rating board
than most towns of like population.
The full analysis of the rate will be
found in this paper.
With the building of the new fire
station and the installing of new
equipment, etc, there may be an OPP
portunity for Palestine to get even a
better rating than now allowed by the
board.

WHY 1T is POSSIBLE.

If one is inclined to be pessimistic
he could easily lose faith in public
officials and in the democratic plan
of conducting government, with all
of the exposures being made of graft
and corruption in various parts of the
country. But, while. these cases are
deplorable, there is no reason to lose
faith in the situation, for these cases
being made public are rather matter
for encouragement, because they
show that the public conscience is
being awakened, and that is the most
needful thing of all 1t must not be
concluded that any considerable per
cent of the public officials of the
country are dishonest, but the graft
er has been able to operate success
fully in the past because he has been
free from public inspection or in
quiry. Because so little attention has
been paid to the man in office some
men, naturally dishonest, have sought
public office as the easiest method of
plundering the treasury of the people,
and in his obscnrity he has been able
to handle the affairs under him with
out outside interference. But, now
that the public mind has been quick
ened, the task of stealing a govern
ment building is not going to be so
easy, nor will it any time soon again
be safe risk to barter with the pub

With this shortarm jab, the esteem
ed Wall Street Journal dismisses a
discussion of the tariff-the whirl-
wind which the republican party is
now reaping: Congress has done lit
tie enough work this session, but it
has yet time to knock a little sense
into the heads of the standpatters.
Our relations with our neighbors can
at least be restored to condition of
decency by a few reasonable amend
ments pending a real downward revi-
sion of the tariff. There is yet tiMe
for Mr.. Taft to restore his seriously
weakened prestige, and he will prob
ably not find his followers quite so

PASTOR MUST
FACE CHARGES
Staten Island Church Feud
Results in Grave Charges,
Cleric to Stand Trial.
W"IIFFE'S SISTER AccUSER

me feud in Mariners Harbor Bap-
list church, on Staten Island, took a
serious extremely grave character
were brought against the young pas
tor, the Rev. John H. Troy, by his
twenty-year-old si~sterfn-Iaw, Mrs.
Frederick Kohler.
Mrs. Kohler, in af1davits sworn to
yesterday, accuses the pastor of hav-
ing attacked her on four occasions
when she was living under his roof
and when her sister, the pastors
wife, was i'll. Mrs. Kohler says she
refrained from making the accusa-
tons before because she wanted to
save her brother-in-law from dis
grace.
However, the Rev. Mr.. Troy has
recently expelled from the church
her husband, Fred Kohler, and the
latters uncle, Deacon Zeluff, one of
the nos active and influential work
ers In the congregation. These men
we're expelled without a hearing.
The expulsion of Deacon Zeluff fol-
lowed his refusal to entertain the
pastors charges against a Mrs. Deck
er, a Sunday school teacher. Zeluff
said the charges were trivial. That
started the feud, and charges and
countercharges have been hurled
until the climax was provided yester-
day by Mrs. Kohler's af1davits.
The Rev. Mr.. Troy declined yester-
day to discuss Mrs. Kohler's charges.
The pastor will be tried at the com
ing meeting of the board of deaeons.
Mrs. Kohler and her husband have
retained Attorney William J. Kenny,
of New Brighton, to represent them.
Mr.. Kohler said yesterday his wife's
charges would be thoroughly sub
stantiated before the board.
Mrs. Kohler was one of the bellies
Of Mariners Harbor. She is an ex-
c~eptionally pretty woman. The at
tacks are-alleged to have taken place
before her marriage.
After the last attack Mrs. Kohler
swears her brother-in-law refused to
speak to her or to Mr.. Kohler, and
that the pastor began circulating
stories about the character of Mr..
Kohler in order to break up the
match. Also, she says, the pastor
told stories rejecting on her own
character. Kohler says he will be a
witness against the pastor.
The Rev. Mr.. Troy has been pas
tor of the Mariners Harbor Baptist
church for seven years. During
much Of that time the congregation
has been In a turmoil.
