II per cent of the Texas pro.

and goods are shipped to all

Our men are men, indeed.
They are not boneless by any
means. Their spinal columns is
firm as if iron held it upright.
You doubt it, you say: just
wait and see. Wait till the 22nd
and watch our men march to the
polls; then you will see. There
they go; heads proudly up, eyes
bright and determined, steps
steady and firm; all, all, pro
claiming there are no homeless
men in Marion county. No brav-
er men in any county, to do
their duty. Born patriots; do
you think such men would hest
tate when patriotism and duty
make a twin call upon them!
Never! never. If the men in the
other counties are as our
men, our victory is sure. They
will come out with force on the
22nd and cast their votes for the
weak. They will be as mighty
wall protecting our homes from
the destroying evil, thus giving
the women and children hope to
plan and work for happy homes.
May the dear Lord bless and
prosper our men for their noble
stand. their grand rush for
Liberty, true Liberty; freedom
from evil influences.

Saloon ApoledStS.

GAINESVILLE, Texas, July TO-
If the saloon is such a good
thing for the country why is it
that almost all of the apologists
for it, both speakers and writ
ers, either begin or close by de-
claring that they never go into
a saloon; haven't tasted whiskey
in twenty years" etc?
If they are such good things
why do they not stand up and
boast of patronizing them and
helping them along, like men do
with reference to other enter
prises they consider good for
the country
Why are the most earnest ad-
vocates of the licensed saloon
averse to being put down as
patrons of the same:
There is but one answer, and
that is that the saloon is by
common consent indefensible;
A man cannot defend the saloon
all he can do is to offer weak
apologies for it.
