TRUST TO CLEAN HOUSE
Wall Street Expects Great House
cleaning Among Officials of the
So-CaIIed Sugar Trust.
(Herald Specially

New York, jan 12.-Wall street
expects great housekeeping among
the high officials of the American
Sugar Refining company as result
of the annual meeting of the stock,
holders held in Jersey City today. As
a result of the shake-up several of
the old directors who were relatives
of the late H o. Havemeyer retire
and are succeeded by men who are
understood to be in hearty sympathy
with the plans of President w. B..
Thomas to rid the big corporation of
influences that are held responsible
for the populations discovered by the
government and which have already
cost the company hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in fines, legal eX-
penses and refunded customs duties.
A majority of the stockholders OF
the company are residents of New
England. Among them are many
widows, school teachers and other
small investors who were shocked at
the revelations of alleged frauds in
volving the corporation These stock
holders, who took the initiative in the
reform" movement, were represented
at the annual meeting by former Sec
rotary of State Richard Olney.

BROOKS QUITTING uNExpEcTED.
Came as Shock at the State House.
Governors Comment.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 11.-Political
circles at the capitol today received a
neat little shock over the announce
ment from Dallas of the withdrawal of
Judge M. M. Brooks from the race for
governor. Politicians declare that
this greatly simplifies the situation,
especially as it is to be followed by
the withdrawal of Shaw.
This leaves Davidson, Johnson, Col
quit and Poindexter in the race
Friends of Colquitt declare that the
withdrawal of Brooks means that Col
quit will get many Bailey votes, if
not more than Poindexter. On the
other hand, the friends of Davidson
believe that many of the Bailey peo-
pie who would have been for Brooks
will now come in under the Davidson
banner.
At any rate every one interested il
the gubernatorial contest seems to be
happy over the action of Brooks. The
governor declined to express himself,
merely saying that Brooks was a good
man.

And the Herald is one of the most
optimistic of the whole bunch, and it
is natural for the editor of the Herald
to be delighted with the optimism of

his readers that, after rounding off a

FOR THE AMBITIOUS WOMAN.

A great man said, BE not the first

But note,-in this life the time al
ways comes to throw over the old for
the new. Time itself is change. You
must change with time or fall behind
the procession.

the benefits your neighbors enjoy
from modern improvements in all
lines.

money. The manufacturers guarantee
that your baking will always be per.

APPLIED THE cAUSTlc.

1t is saying that well established
correspondent, backed by chain OF
great papers, is the most collosal
figure in public life at Washington
and while many have disputed the
claim, among them congressman and
others who claimed the right to all
of the spotlight privileges, we have al
last demonstration that a cores
pondent occupies very commanding
position when it comes to sending the
Lews back home. This latest demon
stration is furnished by Col. c. A
Edwards, one of the pioneer cores
pondents at the national capital, and
who, by the way, is largely Texan
He is the gentleman who has pinned
SO many lilies on the bosom of Sen
ator Joseph Weldon Bailey, and done
other gracious things for those in
distress and dire need. But his pa.
thence has evidently been whipped to
fragile. Hear him as he applies the
caustic to the democratic congress.
men:
l am going to criticise my demo
cratic friends in congress, and l do SO
more in sorrow than in anger Ever
since have been at this national cap,
ital watching the political wheels go
round it has been borne in upon me
more and more each year that the
democratic party in congress is ever
the victim of lost opportunities
through slothfulness and niggardli,
ness.
Selfishness makes them work to
serve their own personal ends and alb
solutely neglect the interests of the
party. Every two years they elect a
democratic congressional committee
one man from each state delegation in
congress with half a dozen senators
thrown in for good measure. They
hold a meeting, organize by electing

officers, appointing committees, ETC.,
then they go away and do nothing
else during the entire campaign.
The chairman and one or two
others, perhaps, will do all the work,
but no assistance ever is rendered by
any other member of the committee.
am sorry to say it, but it is true,
that the southern members are the
worst offenders in this regard. They
seem to be Indifferent whether this is
a republican house of representatives
or democratic house of representa-
tives, just so they are here.
In fact, the majority of them posi-
lively prefer to have the house re-
publican because it helps them to stay
here and relieves them of any respon-
sibility for the legislation enacted.
They may introduce any kind of an
old bill that will accumulate dust in
the pigeon hole of a committee, then
go home and tell their constituents
that they could do nothing because of
brutal republican majority.
1t is a beautiful excuse for failure
to do things, and it always seems to
work well with the people. They not
only refuse to render any intellectual
assistance to the congressional COM
mittee, but they refuse it any finan-
cial assistance
Just to show how picayunish these
congressman are with their money
and what absolute tightwards demo-
Gratis in congress have become, one
illustration will suffice. When the
extra session opened up last spring
Champ Clark, the minority leader,
tried to get each democrat in con-
gress to subscribe SIS month for a.
period of six months to defray the ex-
pense of getting out, a weekly letter
to 1000 country weekly papers, show
ing the course of the republicans in
congress on the tariff bills, explain
ing the democratic attitude and en-
Tightening the people in general upon
every schedule in the bill. Mr..
Clark tried for three months to raise
this little bit of money, and was fl
nally compelled to acknowledge that
his colleagues in the house absolute
ly refused to put up a cent.
That is the way democrats in con-
gress are trying to help their party,
and if they should win the house this
year it will be because the people
have learned in a general way that
the republicans are guilty of passing
the most monstrous tariff measure in
the history of tariff legislation, and
because of the factional fights within
the party, and through no efforts on
the part of the democrats.
The republican party is ever awake
to seize every opportunity that will
make for party advantage and are al
ways willing to go down in their
jeans iol iiiohSy W pdlll
win. They are always catching the
democrats mapping, and even as ii
write there is a vote going on in the
house on the Ballinger-Pinchot reso-
luton, with the republicans all in
their seats and the democratic whip
out of the city and his assistants sour
rying hither and thither trying to get
democrats into the house for a vote.
Thus it has been, is and ever will
be, until the people discipline these
recalcitrans and insist upon them do
ing something to serve the party
which sent them here, instead of loaf
ing on their jobs and standing around
hotel Hobbies with an expression on
their faces as wise as a goose looking
in jug.
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1910-01-12

Col. c. A. Edwards is on the job at
Washington, has been for many years
as correspondent, and if what he says
is true of many of the democratic
congressman, the case would seem to
demand the prompt execution of a
Pinchot-out maneuver. Looking as
wise as a goose looking into a jug
is of no value in the adjustment of
the tariff iniquity.

Mr.. E. S. Dreher superintendent of
the Columbia City schools, and one
of the most widely known and best
loved women Of this county, died at
her home at SelWood, in the Dutch
Fork, Monday morning at 8 O'Clock,
at the advanced age of nearly 81
years.
For the past seve4al days Mrs.
Dreher has been extremely i'll, and
the end was not unexpected to her
family and friends.
The deceased was the mother Of a
large and gifted family Of sons,
many Of whom now have "silver
threads among the gold.'
Before her marriage to John Jacob
Dreher, she was a Miss Counts, a
member of the prominent family of
that name residing in Newberry

Dreber in lS45, and was ever faith
full to her marriage VOWS. To them
eleven children we're born, ten sons
and one daughter. Eight Of the ten
sons are now living, some Of them
holding positions Of honor and trust
Her eldest son, DR.. julius D. Dreh-
er, was for 25 years president of
Roanoke College, Virginia, and is
now American consul to Tahiti Is
lands. Another son, William C.
Dreher, is the Berlin correspondent
Of the associated press. The other
sons are: Prof. E. S. Dreher and Ed
win Dreher, Of Columbia; Bachman
L., Taad ", Herber R.. and Charlie
Dreher, Of the Dutch Fork.
For many years Mrs. Dreher had
been a member of St. Michael ,!
Lutheran church, and was an active
and consistent member. She was a
most lovable woman, and her death
has cast a pail of sorrow over the
entire community.
A little more than a year ago
during Christmas 1908-the family
held a reunion, all Of the children
being present.
Her remains we're laid to rest in
the shadow Of the church she loved,
