country What is the matter with
Texas, anyhow? Can its arm reach out
only three miles? What do you want
with a three-mile law in the country,
where there are no saloons? Why

father of statutory prohibition, but l
am only carrying on the work laid
down by Senator Cofer and others.

JOHNs0N's AUDIENCE
Packed the Paris Arena-TWo Thou
sand Lamar County People Hear
the Smith County Man.

Paris, Texas, May 21.-Beginning a
2 o'clock, Hon. Cone Johnson spoke
at the Arena this afternoon nearly
two hours to an applauding and en-
thusiastic crowd of two thousand, in
Guiding good many ladies, in the
audience and on the platform. The
boys corn growing clubs of the
county met here today, and it was
monthly trades day, both of which
events helped to swell the crowd,
which was one of the largest except
on a circus day seen in Paris. Many
who went to the Arena to hear the
speaker were turned away on account
of not being able to secure seats. The
speaker was introduced by Hon. A. P.
Parks.
Mr.. Johnson said in part:
my theme is the peril which threat
ems the democratic party, which is
on trial for its very life. We are soon
to see how long its arm is, whether
it is able to carry out the expressed
will of the people We have seen it
lay its hand on every legitimate inter-
est of the state, corporate and indi-
vidual, and control them. But when
1t attempted to lay its hand on the
saloon interest it found itself in COM
bat with a shrewd enemy. The
liquor interests knocked the sword out
of the hands of Texas democracy and
now dare us to take it up. Two years
ago, and for the first time in the his
tory of Texas, the people themselves
with pen in hand wrote platform
demand, and this demand has been
ignored. With either Colquitt, David
son or PoindeXter as governor you
will find yourselves unable to change
the present status on the liquor ques-
ton. Each of them has yielded some |
thing to the whisky traffic. When the
next legislature meets twelve senators
can thwart the will of the people, and
they claim they have fourteen. One
says you can't have prohibitory law
until you amend the constitution, and
the other says you shall not amend the
Why are our hands thus
tied? Georgia has the right; Alabama
has it; Oklahoma, our young sister,
has it.
when Judge Poindexter told the
whisky crowd that he would veto stat
utory prohibition he shackled himself.
Why did he PREJUDICE the case a year
and a half before it could reach him.
It is passing strange that we can dc

EASTER SERVICE
 AT TRINITY CHURCH
Program Was Inspiring and Sermon by Dr. Bnckner One of the Finest Ever Heard There-The Child.
 ren'S Service.

Trinity church and Rev. w. D. Buck ner sustained their we'll earned repu- tation for beautiful Easter music and impressive Easter services Sunday,
 when the annual Easter programs were carried out. The sunrise service was most beautiful and was attended by the largest number of communicants ever recorded at similar service there. At the regular Easter ser- beautiful program of Easter music was rendered by the vested choir of twenty voices. The second celebra- tion of the communion was held at this service, large number commun- icating. The subject of the sermon was "The Open Sepulcher."
 The general theme was "Christ's Place in History Dr. Buckner's lecture was one of the finest ever heard in that church. He said the resurrection was necessary to prove Christ's birth as divine and His life's work as potent as the birth, life and crucifixion would have been the most ignomminius failure ever perpetrated in the history of the world. Because, he said, He based His claims as the son of God upon the fact that he would rise again. The minister touch- ed on the freedom of the world as He said "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.'
 That idea of freedom, Dr. Buckner said, that came from Him and entered into the life of the world gave to England her great charter of inde- pendence. The same spirit inspired the sons of the fathers of this great instrument of the English people to frame the Declaration of Independ- ence in this country Dr. Buckner also told what Christ had done for

BIG SENSATION
 IN MISSISSIPPI Strong Testimony Presented Before the Grand Jury

Senator BilbO Admitted to Accepting Bribe to Vote For Le.
 roy Percy.

Jackson, Miss, March 2S.-The sen sational testimohy given ,Sesore the IIinds County grand jury by State Senator Bilbo that he accepted, q bribe of $645 from l.. C. DulaneS to vote for Leroy Percy in the recent senatorial contest is today the s,ole topic of discussion here
 Political lines are drawn tighter than at any time during the late senatorial fight and persona diff culties are feared. @
 Dulaney bitterly d!ensdnces the tes- timony of Bilbo as false.
 grand jury subponea has been is sued for Governor Noel, and it is stated his testimony before that body will be of highly sensational char acter
 The officials are dumb on the sub iect, and if any indictments have been found, as reported, against certain men, not legislators, who were in evil dence during the first six weeks of the session, the fact is not verified from either the clerks or the sheriff's office
 The drift of the rllmors would indi- cate that there was some foundation for the allegations uttered during the Vardaman rally on the Thursday fol- lowing the final meeting of the eau GUS that "undue influences were ex- ercised in order to harden the oppos- ition to the former governor, while on the other hand there is suspicion that all this is for political effect.
 There was a certain significance in the arrival here Sunday afternoon of Walker Percy of Birmingham and Will A. Percy of Memphis, both of whom arrived about the same time, but from different directions. Both the Messrs. Percy are here to help, as far as they can, in this probing matter, and not behind the doors of a grand jury room. They will insist on an open and aboveboard investigation of the charges by the Legislature itself and will also take steps to ascertain what substance there is to the allegation that a strong Percy adherent had ap- proachel certain Vardaman senator with a direct proposition, offering, and, in fact handing over about $650 for his vote.

STATE POULTRY
 SHOW COMING
Fort Smith Papers Says Sta'e Asso. citation Will Hold Their Annual Chicken Show in Pine
 Bluff,

The Fort Smith Times Record of recent date says:
 The poultrymen identified with the Fort Smith Poultry and Pet Stock association, have assurance that the state show by the Arkansas Poultry Breeders Association will be held this year in Pine Bluff and next year in Fort Smith.
 The organization of the local asso- citation and the successful local show gave wonderful impetus to the business in this section and has al- ready made Fort Smith a city to be reckoned with as poultry breeders headquarters in the state. Not only this, it has stimulated an interest in high class breeding which nothing else could have done.
 Chicken fanciers are bringing in T class of stock such as has not before been in evidence. The latest is a single comb white Orpington cockerel received Friday by A. H. Burg from the pens of Bridewell & Barlow of Hope through E. N. Hopkins of this city The bird is not a year old. weighs ten pounds, is perfectly mark ed and formed, and was a prize win ner at the last state show. Such i'm. portance in fowls or animals make permanent mark for raising the standard of breeding which affects the stock of the whole vicinity

THIS WEEKS BILL
 AT NTW ORPHEO

The New Orpheo Theater opened it's weeks bill yesterday with the sedg- wick family, the feature of the bill of last week, but with the greatest ease this family is presenting new play this week, which in the Judgment of many far better than that present. ed last week by the same people. The White Squaw" is perfect for a vaudeville company. The play it. self is very pretty, and the players are good. Ned Sedgwick as ''Chief Gray Wolf" and Miss Josie sedgwic,x in the part of Little Pawn, "Gray Wolf's' daughter are highly pleasing in their parts. Wounded Bird" The White Squaw, played by Mrs. Sedg- wick, is a good part and is well brought out by Mrs. Sedgwick. Joe Lane as the government scout, is one of the principal players. His dra- matic force is good for his part and many climaxes are brought out by him. The new act of the show is
 surprising It is musical. and although these are very common on the vaudeville stage, the act of the Three Coles, featuring Baby Cole, is winner. The act has comedy as we'll as the music. The bells played by the three including Baby Cole are attractive.
