THIS THING OF PEACE.

The Houston Post evidently goes
on the theory that the best way to
secure peace is to knock the other fell
low in the Stats, shove in his face.
crack him over the head, walk upon
his vest, and then tell him to be
peaceable. The Post says the follow
ing, and is apparently trying to be
serious:
"The work of the Galveston con
vention was done well, in strict &C
cordance with the will of the people,
and the results will go far toward re-
storing harmony in the democratic
party and peace among the people.
The people have become weary of
personal politics; they have. become
weary of bitter agitation and they
have wearied of legislative expert
mentation. They have declared for a
rest and the convention has prepared
the way to Obtain it,
If the Galveston convention had
studied for months on program that
would have precluded the possibility
of political peace in Texas for the
next two years no improvement could
have been made on the stunt that was
pulled eff. 1t was a challenge to
every democrat in Texas who is not
willing to worship at the shrine of
Senator Bailey that he was to be out

THE TEXAS STATE FAIR.

One of the greatest advertisements
for the state is the Texas State Fair,
held at Dallas every fall, and no coun-
ty should fail to have an exhibit of
its products there, with good man,
or set of men, on hand ready to ex-
plain the exhibit, to extol the advan-
tages of the county, and to distribute
suitable descriptive literature.
The next fair will open October Is,
and will continue for sixteen days,
and it is announced many new fea-
lures will be added, and many won
derful improvements made.
Let Anderson county show itself
among the list of progressives, and
have on hand a suitable exhibit.

WEAKEST OF LOGIC.

The Denison Herald perpetrates
the following:
"A rabid prohibition exchange glee.
fully calls attention to the closing OF
the Palestine saloons on the occasion
of the recent rioting in Anderson
county, thereby proving what every
body knows, that the saloon is an
evil. No sensible man has ever con-
tended otherwise-the saloon is an
unmitigated evil But the licensed
saloon is not half as bad as the I'M
licensed blind tiger or the festive
bootlegger. Had Palestine been a
dry town, does any one imagine
that the tigers and the bootleggers
would have closed business during
those perilous days of rioting? Speak
ing of evils, the rattlesnake is an
evil, likewise the mosquito and a
thousand of other things placed here
by an All Seeing power. And the
votes of men have not yet been able
to rid the world of these evils 1t may
be that after the flight of years, old
Vox Populi can do away with these
curses via the ballot box route, but
not yet, Mary Ann. On to the Rio
Grande!"
After admitting that the saloon men
promptly obeyed the order to close in
this city and stayed closed until such
time as they were permitted to open,
thus contributing to keeping the
peace, the Herald considers the Den
ison papers argument as the cheap
est of subterfuge. 1t admits that the
saloon is an unmitigated evil, but
contends that the only way to handle
this evil is by regulation and license
control. Strange that of all the I'M
mitigated evils the saloon is the only
one that demands control by license
demands that it be tolerated if it is
willing to pay the cost. All other
CIV 10 nave DtSu eAltl leu w DlU-
hibitive laws. Why make the differ
ence? If a man steals a horse he is
to be punished and prohibited from
future thefts by confinement in prison,
but if the saloon costs the career and
usefulness of a boy it is to be taxed
for the privilege. AS to rattlesnakes
and mosquitoes, the law of science
and civilization has been exercised
against them for all time; they have
never been licensed and controlled. 1t
has always been work of extermi-
nation. And who can say that great
progress has not been made? Cities
have been built where the RATHER
used to crawl, and he is gone from
his old place. Cities have all but
driven the mosquito from his place
There has been no compromise with
any of these things; no effort at reg
ulat:on or control, but it has been
war of determination all the way.

Senator Bailey can make mistakes,
as was evidenced when he credited to
Admiral Evans the famous saying of
Commander Phillips of the battle
ship Texas. The Herald had occasion
to refer to this expression some few
days before the state convention,
and being slightly at doubt as to the
origin of the don't cheer, boys"
declaration undertook to get some re-
liable information. OF the several
people asked about it quite a number
credited the remark to Evans, some
to Schley, others to Dewey, and so on.
Finally a good lady teacher gave DIS
the correct information. Fame is
tickle god, after all.

The people of this section heard
with profound regret of the death of
Carl Stokes. AS a man, as law
maker as a lawyer in the practice of
his profession as friend and neigh
Dor, Carl Stokes had established the
reputation of being true and clean and
above reproach. AS state senator
from this district his official conduct
had been characterized by honorable
and able service, and there will be
none to say evil of his political life.
He had in him the elements of true
manhood, and the state and country
needed his services. and his life Let
us drop tear and remember that we
have lost a good friend and an able
counselor Peace to his memory.

1t is usually the small taxpayers,
or those who pay no taxes at all, who
set up the biggest howl about in-
creasing the taxes. Tax money is alb
solutely necessary to the conduct of
any sort of government, and from the
beginning of history all organized COM
all states, all nations, have
had to collect tax money from the
people And as a rule a higher tax
rate means a better governed people;
a greater amount of benefit; a more
enjoyable life. Take the matter of
roads for instance: You cannot have
good roads without money to build
them, and you cannot get the money
without extra taxation Good roads
benefit all people They increase
land values, make travel comparative
ly easy, save in time and money,
make for prosperous communities,
good churches and schools; improve
the social conditions, and in a hun

Representative Strickland has been
active in bringing about this change,
and when the amended charter be-
comes effective, whether the commits
sioners will it or not, the suburban
joint must quit.
1t is a good law, as some of these
places are hard to control, and all Of
them are Objectionable to the neigh
borhoods in which they are located.

outside creditors. Mr. Dobbs' finan-
cial troubles are due to his inability to
realize promptly on his outstanding
accounts and notes. The assets, if
available at this time, exceed the in
debtedness by several thousand dol
lars.
The assignment came as quite
surprise in business circles, as the
Dobbs house has been prosperous for
a number of years. The people of the
city generally sympath:ze with the
young proprietor in his temporary
embarrassment, and all hope that he
will be able to adjust his affairs and
get back in the business circle.
