alton for twenty-five years This was
good business policy, and l am not
criticising it, but you seldom hear of
exempting from taxat ON the farmers
field, the humble cotter's home. Now,
my plan is this: Let Anderson coun-
ty adv ertise the offer, to any farmer
who will come here and buy 25, so
or 100 acres of land, build a house,
establish a home and be one of US, to
exempt his property from taxation for
five years. This would require a spec
ial act of the legislature, which,
think, could be secured. Under this
plan, at the end of five years, there
would be a taxable value here far in
excess of what would be if left alone.
Thus would the real bone and sinew,
the salt of the earth, be greatly ben
Gifted, and the ultimate aid to our
county would be enormous. Let's

AS TO GOVERNOR CAMPBELL.

The Tyler Courier-Times believes in
giving credit where credit is due, and
speaks the following praise of Cover
nor Campbell, who has called down
the prosecutions the critics by liv
ing up to his campaign promises to
observe the party platform:
When Thos. NJ. Campbell ran for
governor and was elected we opposed
him. When he got in office he stood
for the carrying out of his party's
platform pledges. For this offense he
was marked for slaughter. He was
maligned throughout the state for no
other cause than remaining true to
his party's pledges. The treatment
offered him was outrageous. He had
made faithful governor. He had
pledged himself to the Hogg policies,
the people elected him and because
he had nee disappointed the people
he was abused, slandered and threat
cred with defeat We went to his
rescue, because the gang who were
after him were the same old party
vandals who had fought Hogg and
the peoples demands for years. We
supported Campbell and we have no
cause to regret it. AS sure as the
days go by the time will come when
politicians who are now afraid to
speak out for Tom Campbell will be
conjuring with his name before the
people of this state. for he will be
reckoned as one of the peoples COVER
nors.

1t is a matter worthy Of special
mention that so many young men are
noted among the graduates of the
Texas schools this year. Such boys
are to be commended for getting all
they can out of the public schools.
The girls are expected to graduate,
but the rule has been for the boys
to quit and hunt jobs before gradual

CLEAR, BRAVE WORDS.

Hon. James F. Ross, Pecos, Texas,
is candidate for representative from
the Twenty-ninth district. He is a
capital citizen, all around. He will
doubtless be elected. Here is a part
of his fine platform. 1t is good read
ing:
Il hold the liquor traffic the curse
of the ages. 1t has blasted, as with
the breath of hell, the flowers and
fruits of hearth and home; made
havoc of immortal genius that but for
it, had remained to bless the race,
marring with appalling woes the
noblest civilization of which history
| has given a record. The scourge of
| the past and the terror of the future,
it is a menace to every form of pro-
gress and leaden weight upon the
symmetrical development of our great
commonwealth.
"These are my views. not of mo-
ment, but of lifetime. l freely con-
cede the right of others to think as
they will and vote as they please.
But l cannot concede your right
to oppose the submission of the
amendment to the people, and still
style yourself democrat. AS a re-
publican, you may oppose submission
with some show of reason, for the re-
publican state platform of 1908 de-
clared against submission. But we
are democrats. Hence the refusal of
the Thirty-frst legislature to accede
to the demand of the people, express
ed at the ballot box in July, 1908, and
solemnly reiterated in our state plat
form of that year, was not only a be-
trayal of trust, but a political blunder
of colossal proportions. Did political
alignment make for anything like
an equal division of party strength,
the democracy had been swept from
power as the penalty of infidelity

1.-THE will of the people is the SUI
preme law. All law, statute or or
ganic, derives its sanction from its
power to minister to the wishes of
those whose authority spoke it into
life. Our people have made and I'M
made constitutions, and will make
and unmake them, as they continue
to mark progress from the low levels
of feudal systems to the lofty heights
of perfect government based upon
individual righteousness. To doubt
this is to doubt the genius of race
that has girdled the earth with its
language and created systems of law |
and philosophy that will remain as
marvels until the end of time.
IF, therefore, you know aught of |
the history of your people, of the Tt
tanic struggle for freedom of thought |
and will, of the sobbing anguish of
centuries of revolt against tyranny
and the cost of the priceless privilege
of registering a freeman's ballot, I
challenge you to dispute our right to
vote upon the constitutional amend
ment."

clean record He conducted the affairs
Of the bank solely in the interest of
the depositors, whom he protected in
times of stress. and of the stockhold-
ers, of whom he was but one of many.
Because he never did dishonorable,
mean or unkindly act there has not
been a discordant note in the sincere
and universal tribute paid to his mem
ory. His death marks real loss to
the community. 1t also affords a plain
indication that character does count
