FEW FLIES IN MARLIN.

One could hardly believe that So
great change could have been
wrought In so short time, but al
ready the casual observer Is remark
Ing on the scarcity of flies In Marlin
This happy state of affairs is attrib.
utable in part to the effectiveness OF
the patent fly traps DR.. Munger has
been importing, but chiefly to the en-
ergy and progressiyeness OF the citi-
zens who have not only supplied
themselves with the traps, but have
been cleaning up their premises and
thus destroying the breeding places
of the flies. The traps are a destruc-
tive measure and have been catching
flies by the bushel. The cleaning up
is a preventive measure, so this most
devastating enemy has been brought
to bay. 1t is war to the death,
This shows that the people are wax
ing up to the fact that the fly is a
menace to health and cleanliness. 1t
is hard to realize that such tiny
thing could be so dangerous. AS he
comes into our dwellings walking
daintily on his six slender legs or fly
ing on his pearl and silver wings, he
seems innocent enough, but II you
could make him give an account of
himself you would not be so generous
about giving him the freedom of your
homes. He was born and reared in
filth and his pleasure grounds are in
the dirtiest spots he can find. His cup
shaped feet and hairy legs carry
germs by the hundreds, And yet he
comes itno our homes, drinks the
milk, strolls over the butter, swims
in the syrup jugs, and eats and drinks
of all our dishes But many of us are
Thomases who viii not believe unless
we see, and we carelessly allow this
enemy to come and go as he
pleases.
The remedy is simple enough. Clean
up and keep cleaned up. Where there
is no filth there will be no flies. If you
still have flies your neighbors are to
blame, and you may have TO do some
tactful missionary work with them.
Eternal vigilance is the price, but
when the reward is immunity to dis
ease the price is not exorbitant.-

Just TO show what good things good
walks are, and how much they con-
tribute to church attendance and other
forms of righteousness, we cite the
case of Bonham, our neighbor on the
west. Bonham, you know, has no side
walks except a few of the loose board
kind that squirt gill of grout up the
trouser leg when the ground is muddy
In such towns people can manage to
walk to Sunday school and church in
time of drouth, but when ii rains there
is nothing doing. Last Sunday was
muddy day in Bonham, and the at
tendance upon the Sunday school, as
shown by reports published in the
papers, fell eff 500 as compared with
the attendance the previous Sunday
when the ground was dry. In addition
to being things of comfort, and de-
light to the aesthetic eye, good walks
are clvilizers and religionizers. Muddy
days make no difference in Honey

Says the San Antonio Republic:
MANY a broad-gauged, hberal-minded
voter is going to vote for prohibition
simply because of the arrogance Of
some of the saloonkeepers in city pol
tics And this is not all. Hundreds
of men who believe that prohibition
is wrong in principle are going to
vote for it because they believe the
saloon in politics, not only in the cities
but also in the state and nation, is the
greatest danger now threatening our
country. There are many others who
can not stand for either the saloon or
prohibition and will not vote in the
election on July %.

THOSE POLITICAL HYPocRITEs

1t may seem strange to some of the
initiated. but it is true; the great ma
ldority of the statewide prohibition
! leaders in Texas are in the fight for
| the purpose of defeating Senator
Bailey for reelection to the United
States senate. Tom Campbell, Cone
Johnson, Cullen Thomas, Senators
Mayfield, Vaughan, Cyclone Davis,
Bascom Thomas, Block Legislation"
Strong, and numerous others of the
personal-hatred gang are using the
statewide theme as cover While they
hope to knife Senator Bailey.
Were it not for the hopes they have
of defeating Senator Bailey many Of
these suddenly converted imbiters to
the cause of statewide prohibition
would not be in the prohi ranks today
Their ostensible purpose, their cardi-
nal intention, is to injure Senator
Bailey, and should statewide succeed
they will claim it to be an anti-Bailey
victory. That is all they are in the
fight to accomplish.
Now, you loyal friends of Senator
Bailey, what have you to say? We
have told the truth. Are you for Sen
ator Bailey first? Then vote for his
interest. The Register is for him and
his welfare first against every other
political proposition in existence, If
necessary How do you stand?-'I

SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION.

Uncle Sam has been following the
pillow. He has just completed the
rounds in his Texas oat field and has
figured out the cost of production in
1903, and makes the following report:
To prepare for the oat crop costs 1852
per acre: seeding, $1.1O; planting, 81
cents; harvesting. S1.36; preparing for
the market, S1.7S; miscellaneous, as
cents; interest on land value, S3.2S;
total cost of production, $1011 per
acre. The crop sold for $16.07 per
acre, making a net profit of $5.96 per
acre. The average yield was 34.7
bushels per acre and sold for As cents
per bushel. 1t cost 20 cents per bushel
to produce the crop, leaving a net
profit of II cents per bushel. The
average value of oat land is placed at
1875 per acre, and the average size
of the field was 37.4 acres. Uncle Sam
is an up-to-date agriculturist and he
likes the Texas farmer, and is trying
to teach him the value of bookkeep-
ing.

Too Much Froth on Beer-stu-
dents Affronted Kaiser.
[By Associated Press

Berlin, June 22.-The Prussian gov
eminent is observing closely the re-
suit OF the arrangement for the mutual
Interchange of assistance between the
German and American police, to de-
termine whether its advantages to
Germany Justify its continuance. In a
recent case, when the New York po-
lice requested assistance in locating
some stolen property in Berlin, the
Prussian government delayed action
until they had asked and received as
surances through the American en-
bassy that similar requests would re-
ceiye consideration from the American
police.
The Prussian minister of foreign af-
fairs has now issued an order author.
izing assistance to the American po-
lice, but only so long as actual reci-
procity is Observed The order, there
fore, instructs all Prussian police au-
thorities to report to the ministry all
requests made to the American police
or received from them, with results,
in order to test the ACCESSIBILITY of the
procedure.
