Raising Fine Horses.

San Antonio, Texas, July az
No industry in Texas is getting more
careful attention just now than
that of horse breeding. For time,
the ranchman and the farmer de-
pended entirely on the broncho and
the mule, and while Texas today is
the greatest mule producing state in
the union, the horse is getting that
attention which promises to make
this state a leader in horse rearing.
In almost every neighborhood, fine
individuals Of the very best families
are kept for breeding purposes and
farmers are giving that same care
full attention to the horse industry
that has made some of the eastern,
northern and southern states famous
for their horses. 1t seems that the
\ introduction of the automobile, in

horses has increased the effort tc

Presidents Who Were Masons.

A few days ago the press dis
patches announced that President
Taft, wearing the Masonic apron,
had posed for a photographer in
Washington, so that his picture
may hang beside that of George
Washington in a Masonic lodge
in Virginia. This incident caus-
ed the Boston Globe to inquire
what other Presidents of the
United States have been Masons,
and it ascertained that Jefferson,
Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, John
son, Garfield, Mckinley and
Roosevelt were Masons, but there
is some doubt as to whether JEFF
ferson was member of the or
der.
George Washington was the
master of a Virginia lodge and
subsequently became the head of
the order in this country. Gen.
eral Jackson was a grand master
in Tennessee, Mckinley was a
Knight Templar, and both Roose-
welt and Taft were raised to the
Master Mason's degree after their
election to the Presidency.
1t is understood that President
Fillmore was also a Mason, but as
in the case of Jefferson there is
some doubt about it, because the
absence of records going back
into the early days makes it diff
cult to say whether he was or
not. In the time of Washington,
however, Benjamin Franklin,
Lafayette, Benjamin Harrison
the elder, John Hancock, Joseph
Warren and many other men who
figured prominently in the Ameri-
can Revolution belonged to the
fraternity. 1t is the proud boast
OF the Masons of Massachusetts
that Paul Revere, after the Rev.
olution, became the grand master
of their State. IN. O. States.

The Health Train Visits colf.x.

The Louisiana Health Train, IN
der the management of DR.. Oscar
Bowling. president of the Louisiana
State Board of Health, with a corps
of assistants, arrived at Colfax at
Las p. IN. on Wednesday, May "a.
and remained here until 1910 that
night. The train stopped at Luella,
Montgomery, Atlanta and Colfax in
side of two days, having been receiv-
ed with enthusiasm at tall four places.
The Colfax Concert Band was on
hand to meet the train on its arrival
here, together with large delega-
ton of citizens and the children oi
the Colfax high school. Also a good
ly number of the colored people were
present, and the children from the
colored school.
DR.. Bowling, escorted by a delega-
ton of COlfax citizens, made bis way
to the band stand on Railroad Ave-
nue., where, after selection by the
band, Mayor G. N. Carnahan called
on Attorney Joel NJ. Durham to well
come DR.. Bowling on behalf Of the
town. The Doctor then made talk
to the citizens on the necessity for
cleanliness and observance of the
rules of health, and at the close oi
his talk invited everybody to inspect
the health cars.
During the afternoon Miss Agnes
Norris made an interesting talk at
the Colfax high school auditorium
to the children of the school and a
number of citizens.
At night a moving picture exhihi-
ton was given at the band stand,
with appropriate lectures by Drs.
Bowling, Carey and Adams, and u
large crowd was pleased and instruct
ed by the wonderful exhibits. The
Colfax band was on hand and added
enlivenment to the occasion.
We understand that DR.. Bowling
saws that while there is great room
for improvement, among the 215
towns in the. State he has visited,
Colfax is one among six towns he has
found to be in fairly good sanitary
condition.

The Press Association in Politics.

1t is obvious that political dis.
cussions must be kept out of Press
Conventions, not only in the inter
ests of harmony, but also for the
sake of preserving the objects and
purposes of the Association. In
deed a step further should be ia
ken, and politicians as we'll as poll
tics should be excluded from the
conventions. There is no reason
why politicians should be invited
to these gatherings of the editors
as they divert the members from
the discussions that properly come
up before these bodies, and are a
disturbing element even in their
recreations.-True Democrat.
We indorse every word of the
above, particularly the suggestion
that politicians as well as politics
shall be excluded from future con-
ventions. No Office holder or Office
seeker should be allowed to adj
vance his interests at our Press
Conventions. The editors of this
State are not dunderheads. The
majority Of them know as much,
and some of them more, about the
affairs of State than the politicians
who essay to instruct them. For
