SPANISH sWINDLE" GAME,


The department of state at Wash
ington has again sent out warnings to
people over the country to fight shy
of the so-called Spanish Swindle
This fake has-heen exposed the
state department and by the press
any number of times, but it seems
that people still fall for it, hence the
repeated warning. The government
circular says the scheme is practical
ly the same in all cases. A Cuban
prisoner is in Jail in Spain without
friends, save a priest through whom
he manages to smuggle letters to the
outside. The prisoner represents him
self as being rich, with large deposits
in the banks of America, and prom
ises to reward the one written to lib
orally If little ready money is fur
nished to meet some immediate
emergency until the prisoner can gain
his freedom, and so on 1t is surpris-
ing how many people have been and
are being caught with this old trick,
but the extent of the operation is il
Illustrated by the fact that the govern
ment is trying to protect people from
it. If you get letter from a Cuban
prisoner you had better investigate
carefully.

This year will witness, possibly, the
greatest influx of people to East Texas
ever known, and the county and par
ticular section that offers the best in
ducements will in all probability get
the bulk of the newcomers. For that
reason especially the Herald believes
the time was never more propitious
for Fruit Palace than right now
Such a show with such a distinctive
title could not help attracting atten.
ton from all over the country and
would start many inquiries about a
city and county that could hold fruit
palace show. Think It over, brother
boomers.

Congressman Mann has introduced a
bill restoring the right of contract to
newspapers, permitting them to ex,
change in equal values advertising
space for transportation That the
bill will be stoutly opposed goes with
out saying. The politicians have not
forgotten that the newspapers were in
a large measure responsible for the de-
mand for the anti-pass law Very few
of the newspapers seem to he losing
any sleep over the situation.

Revelation is made in Chicago that
horses are being killed by wholesale
and sold as meat and finding ready
sale. Much of it finds its way to the
free lunch stands, and that is horse
on the fellow who thought he was
getting something for nothing. The
more we learn the more we know
we are glad we are living in
Grandoldtexas; here horses are too
valuable to eat, as all of them are
just seven years old and thorough,
breds.

The Waco Times-Herald is certain
Roosevelt will not be recalled to the
presidency, because it argues that gov
eminent by spasm is not the rule. The
reader of political .destinies over on
the Brazos may be right, but it is our
guess that if the trend keeps trend
ing and Roosevelt decides to hunt the
G. o. P. elephant that he is as good
hunter as any of them, and owns a
gun especially made for elephant hides.

The Herald would be pleased to
keep in touch with the Boys Corn
Club movement in this county. 1t is
a most valuable undertaking to the
county, and the boys are expected to
show the older men how they should
have been raising corn all of these
years. There is no real good reason
why Anderson county should not pro-
duce a surplus of corn, and be seller
instead of buyer Get busy, boys,
and let's have more corn and better
corn.

From the press dispatches it appears
that Governor Haskell of Oklahoma
has opened a new supply OF hornets,
and is now charged with misconduct
in the governors office, and intima-

a trouble accumulation, Haskell seems
to be in the blue ribbon class all to
himself.

TALKING BACK AT THE HERALD.

1t is truth that is undeniable that
the south is in position to get the
profits out of the high prices. This is
so because the south produces to a
large extent the food supply of the
country. The man on the farm can
raise his own food if he will and sell
his surplus at fancy price. 1t is the
town workers who are up against the
real thing; the fellows who buy in
paper sacks. 1t is a case of back to
the farm and live easy.-Palestine Her
aid.
The Herald says concisely what the
Statesman has many times laid down
as a vital lesson of the present agita-
ton against high prices, as well as a
sensible course in life. 1t is crafty
ing proof of a new day in the ideas of
young America that the farm side
the producing side-of existence is be-
ginning to regain prominence and
standing in public esteem. 1t was
high time The turning tide can run
the right way long time and never
swamp any one.-Austin Statesman.

The Dallas Times Herald, remember.
ing that life is uncertain and that in
times past governors have been known
to die, urges that it is absolutely nee
essary to have a lieutenant governor.
Since our attention has been called to
the matter, we believe it is customary
to have such an official. Funny some
patriot does not come across and say
Here am Palestine Herald.
From what the papers say about it,
there are three candidates now out for
lieutenant governor-one from East
Texas, one from North Texas and one
from West Texas. Are none of them
patriots? But, looking at the matter
seriously, the people should be careful
and elect a lieutenant governor who is
well qualified to fill the office of gov
ernor in the event that the duties of
governor should fall upon him.-Fort

LEGISLATORS
FIGHT DUEL
Cubans Disagreed Over
Bill in House.

Havana, Dec. 10.-In. q duel In front
of the palace n member of the house
of representatives was killed, and the
other will die. Severe Moleon and
Sanchez Figueras, members of the
Liberal party, were the men.
Moleon fred first, and Figuefas ran
round a corner until he could draw his
pistol. Then he returned and opened
fire. After two bystanders had been
hit Moleon fell, whereupon Figueras,
who had been wounded In the stom-
ach, approached him and put his re-
volver to Moleon's head and pulled the
trigger.
The weapon, however, was empty.
and before it could be reloaded the
police arrived and arrested Figueras.
Moleon died, and Figuera, the doc
tors say. cannot survive. The other
two men who were hit were not NOR
tally wounded.
The shooting was an outcome of the
division of the Liberals over trading
arsenal property on the waterfront for
property of the United Railways com
pany, which caused stormy scenes In
the house, where pistols have been
10urished and fists used. On one
occasion Representative Lores shot a
Senior San Miguel. who opposed the
measure.
These events occurred last spring
and Figueras, who opposed the meas
ure, wrote articles for the newspaper
which caused Moleon. who supported
the exchange, to way'ay and beat him
Figueras made his will saying he In
tended to kill Moleon o. be killed. 1
is expected that the friends OF the tw'
! men will now make more trouble.
