Texas shall be made a part OF a vast
political machine, which is inspired
through and through, by a spirit
emanating from the breweries ana
liquor dealers. That the state viii
profoundly resent such use OF u ed
ucational institutions we are bound to
believe, and every teacher in the state
who has a teachers heart will resent
an effort to attach our institutions OF
learning to a political machine domi-
mated by the barrooms. 1t is the con-
viction of the average citizen that ed,
lucation ought not to be the football OF
political leaders. We have seen moth
ling SO gross nor so offensive TO the
best sentiment OF the state as the
governors frame-up of the ~educationaI
forces OF the state, making the whisky
element everywhere predominant.
"But all this goes to show that 1t Is
a deliberate scheme Of the liquor fac
ton in this state to run the govern
ment and to run it in the Interest o.
the main thing, from their point o
view. This is a situation to be reck
oned with by the intelligent and pa
triotic voters of Texas when the time

If you are thin and want to be
plump; if you have wrinkles in your
face that you are not proud of; if your
skin is sallow or subject to pimples
or blackheads, take MONA stomach
tablets for two weeks and notice the
change.
Nine-tenths OF the thin people are
thin because the stomach is not ac-
tive; it is not moxing thoroughly with
the natural digestive juices the food
put into it, and in consequence IL NJ;
extracting from the food enough nour-
ishing matter for the bloo} to distrib-
ute to every part of the body. II the
stomach does not do its work properly
the nourishment in the food you eat is
passed along without giving to the
body anv flesh building elements.
MONA stomach tablets quickly
build up the stomach so that it ex-
tracts from the food all the elements
necessary to form good solid flesh.
If you are thin try a two weeks
treatment of MONA stomach taht

MONA stomach tablets are guar
anteed to cure Indigestion, acute or

ooh. he's a backwQod sman whom the
black republicans put up to run
against Stephen A. Douglas for the
United States senate" replied n OF
the politicians. After a pause ne
added: 1T var the best they could
do. But to think of running Abe Lin
scoln for president! Ha! ha! ha!"
Several others joined in the laugh.
The throughout the South
at first took the nomination of Lincoln
as a Joke. and the wits of the press
and of the political platform had no
end of fun exaggerating his peculiar
tiles and holding him up to ridicule.
But before the election their tune
changed. and first uneasiness and then
alarm became the keynote.
These "reminiscences are recalled by
reading this paragraph in a character
sketch published in the Cincinnati
Enquirer: 4,
Governor Thomas R. Marshall, OF
Indiana-better known in Indiana as
Tom Marshall-is an original charac-
ter. He Is as individual as Abraham
Lincoln. and resembles him in many
respects. His sayings smack of his
native soil. He was never in politics
and never held office until elected
governor in 1908, but he takes to pol
jtics as a duck takes to water. Who
ever saw an Indianian that was not a
good politician? But Tom Marshall Is
more than that, for he has displayed
great abilities as governor, and is
giving his state a model administra'
ton"
Three years ago Thomas R. Mar
shall was a country lawyer in an OBJ
scure town in Indiana, with only q
local reputation. Not much is said
about him as a presidential candidate
now, but he may loom up large in the
national democratic convention mex
year. He is a scion Of the historic
Virginia Marshall family.
