Patriotic Devotion to
Country.
(Texas Farm and Ranch. }

(Texas Farm and Ranch.)
The editors of Farm and Ranch
know some things in political life
which they cannot divulge, aud
some of these relate to tho splen-
did service and patriotic devotion
to country of many citizens in pri-
vate life of men who seek no Of
fee, and would accept none if Of
fered. These citizens work, and
spend time and money freely. and
have no other object than the pub
lie good. With them candidates
are considered only as instruments
for carrying plans for the better
msnt of conditions in public life.
In this age of graft and grafters,
of plotting and contemplating,
of selling men and buying men, of
selling and buying "principles,"
there are citizens who have no
other purposes than the general
good, and who think not of them.
solves, but of their country. And
when We contemplate the greed for
gold, the insistence of petty poll
ticians for Office, the demands of
"boosters" that mon unworthy
shall be elected to office, and be.
come Disguised aud dishearteued,
we turn to these patriots to be re-
freshed, and our hopes are revi-
we'd. And when we think of con.
ditions as they are, we wish some
plan might be evolved whereby
the people might elect their off.
cials, instead of being forced to
select themselves. The Office
should seek the man. and when
this is the case We shall have clean
politics and pure governmeut-and
not until then.

Mr.. w. j. Basset of Lafayette

Mr.. w. j. Basset of Lafayette
addressed a we'll attended meeting
here last Sunday evening at the
Derbes park, on the platform and
principles OF socialism. There are
a number of our people who are
pronounced in their dissatisfaction
with the Democrats and Republi-
cans and have joined the Socialists,
and many moro who wanted to
learn more of the Socialist princi-
plies before they would quit the
old parties to join the new move
ment in this section. We believe
Mr.. Bassett talked too much for
the good of his cause, and we do
not believe that Socialism will en-
roll more than a limited number
in this parish. They can, how
ever, if properly organized, have
some effect in the political affairs
of the parish, by controlling the
balance of power in town and pa
rish elections which are generally
close.

trousers has the audacity to smile and
make jests about the man who wears
kilt.
One can only claim for trousers that
they strictly utilftarian. Obviously
they are made in imitation of the hind
legs of a pantomime elephant. Incl
dentally it may be pointed out that
pantomime elephants hind legs always
make for mirth But man has inge
niously thought out further absurdities
with which to elaborate his trousers. He
has them made too long for the express
purpose of turning them back, and SO OBJ
tanning the correct length. He cherishes
an impossible crease" adown the legs
in order to. foster the impression that
he never bends his knees. He arranges
for the ends Of the legs to flap about
loosely in order to catch any mud which
would otherwise fail to find resting
place.
When he sits down in these remarkable
coverings he bitches them up, and so
runs a risk Of exposing to view three
inches OF pale pink leg and a portion
of elegant blue sock suspender II he
does not hitch them up he adds consid-
erably to the tumuIi in the region of the

THINGS MEN WEAR.
A Woman Ridicules Trousers and
Dress Coats.

From London Opinion.
Man. as a sex, cannot be vain; II he
were he would dress very differently.
1t is significant that people put mans
suit in the middle Of a field when they
want to scare away the birds
Women are continually effecting radical
changes in their fashions. But man APP
parently has the effrontery to be salts
fled with the quaint things he wears.
Alterations in the masculine mode of
dress would seem to be due to natural
evolution more than any other cause.
Consider the garment which is the
very sign and symbol Of the male sex
trousers. They are admittedly humorous.
The music hall comedian has only to
make mention of his trousers to raise
an appreciative laugh. The humorous
writer whose characters refer to their
'.trousis'' inevitably wins recognition. II
ever an anthology of British humor is
prepared the bulk of 1t will be devoted
to trousers. Trousers. so to speak, are
standing jest. And yet men go on
wearing them. And the man who wears

TOM WATSON URGES BOLT.

To disregard the nomination of Hoke
Smith for governor on the ground that
democrats are not bound by the pri-
mary which chose him because of the
methods by which the primary was
conducted, was the advice OF Thomas
E. Watson, once populist candidate
for the presidency, in a speech at a
massmeeting called by himself at At,
lanta, Ga, Wednesday night. He urged
democrates to vote for Gov. Joseph NJ.
Brown for another term, although
Brown is not nominee, declaring that
voters are free to treat the Smith
nomination as null and void
What Watson called 'bossism" and
the alleged use Of. money and whisky
in elections, and the securing of nom
nations by fraud and deception"
were the reasons he gave urging 4 bolt
from the regular democratic nominee.
Near the close of his speech Mr.. Wat
son declared:
Il am authorized to say that if the
people call on Governor Brown he will
serve"
After the speech Mr.. Watson said
he was confident the governor would
accept the Office if reelected.

THE SECOND DISTRICT PRIMARY

When Attorney Braden Vandeventer
OF counsel for the people, in the in
yestigation in the Second district
democratic Congressional primary, now
underway in the Monticello Hotel in
Norfolk, yesterday asked the invcStl-
eating committee that his side to the
controversy be allowed to make copies
of the Norfolk registration books used
in the primary, by far the biggest fight
OF the investigation so far was prcclpl-
tated.
Attorneys for w. A. Young, whose
nomination for Congress is being con-
tested by Representative Fl. l.. May
nard, we're on their feet in an instant,
protesting against the copying OF the
books on the ground that those books
we're the property of the democratic
party in which were notations which
would be valuable to the republicans.
The. investigation committee, which
has always displayed desire to look
into anything that might throw light
on the election, ruled that the books
could be copied. These books are
copies of the orr ginal registration
books which are used in gen
eral elections. Shortly after the
ruling OF the committee, City Chairman
Schenck appeared with them. The
Young aggregation asked for copies Of
the Portsmouth registration books III
the afternoon, and after further debate
and the raising of the question OF avail
able funds to pay for having the copies
| made, Chairman Mcintyre, OF the
committee, stated that they should be
made and that funds in the hands o
the democratic state central committee
would be used to pay the cost.
The probe into the election is going
deeper every day and a mass OF evidence
has been collected by the attorneys fol
each of the three sides to the contro
versy-people's Young's and Maynard:
which, it is claimed, will be startling
when made public before the commit
tee in bills to be filed with the commit
tee tomorrow.
