Discussing state prohibition the

Discussing state prohibition the
Denison Herald has this to say;
Some few of the Herald's prohigh
exchanges are expressing surprise as
il develops that there is likely to be
re-alignment on the question There
is quite a difference in voting for or
against saloons in ones home town
and in voting to surrender the priv
ilege of expressing ones opinion on
the subject There is not a dry coun-
ty in the state that will be affected
by the state wide election, regardless
of how it goes. To the citizens Of
these dry counties it means merely
whether they shall buy their liquor
in Texas or Missouri. To man with
the home industry idea firmly i'm
planted in his makeup this should
not be difficult question to settle.
To man with even a trace of intel
ligence the foregoing will recon-
mend itself as being as near nothing
as has appeared in the esteemed Her
aid for some time. In the first place
there is not going TO be any re-align
ment in Texas on the question OF
state prohibition Men who have hon
est convictions on the question Will
vote as they always have, only those
who are local optionists when there
is no election on will be found de-
sorting the proposition because it re-
fers to the whole state There is just
as much constitutional right, just az
much personal right, in considering
the question as affecting the state as
there is in voting to enforce it in the
precinct or county, There is no room
to doubt the grievous error of the
Herald when it SAYS that there Is
not a dry county in the state that
will be affected by the statewide
election. regardless of how it goes,
and to prove this error it is only nee
essary to remind this organ that state
prohibition would put an end to such
experiences as Ellis and many other
counties are forced to endure be-
cause of the extreme wetness of con-
tiguous and adjoining territory. To
a man with the home industry idea
firmly implanted in his makeup the
question of where he shall buy his
liquor is one of minor Importance.
Under any circumstances il Will be |
possible to buy whisky, but upon cir
depends the possibility
o buy purity and decency as a herit- |
lge for VOur children

IUxORC|DE IS THE CHARGE MADE
Husband OF Young Wife Found
Dead in Home Is Arrested on
Alleged Charge Murder.

j Mention was made in these col
umns a few days ago of the finding
OF the dead body of Mrs. +. W. Mum
| den on the floor of the family home,
I about two or three miles north of
/ Midlothian. Since then the husband
: of the young woman has been arrest
ed by the Dallas county authorities
on an alleged charge of murder. Mr..
! and Mrs. Munden, it is said, lived
I just across the line in Dallas county.
, Concerning the recent developments
| the Dallas Times Herald OF Tuesday
says:
| Charged by complaint with MUIR
| der, Willis Munden, the young Dali
las county farmer whose wife, Alice,
! was found dead in the sitting room
I of their home last Wednesday morn
ing, was arraigned before Justice of
/ the Peace Looney of Cedar Hill this
morning and held in $500 bail to
await the action of the grand jury.
Mrs. Munden came to her death from
/ the effects of a target rifle wouna
! inflicted in the breast near or thru
/ the heart 1t was at first thought
! that she had committed suicide. A
/ scrubbed note found on table in
! the room in which mention was made
! of an Intermittent estrangement be-
| tween husband and wife lent to this
( theory
| But the circumstances OF the case
/ were Investigated by the Cedar Hill
/ peace officers. The upshot of the
probe was the arrest of Munden by
Constable D. E. Myers, yesterday af-
ternoon.
The states prime contention in
the prosecution of the case is that it
would have been difficult for the
woman to have shot herself by
means of the rifle. The barrel of the
gun as shown by an examination of
it in Justice Looneys court room this
morning is nearly three feet long.
Assistant County Attorney Saunders
in handling his side of the case to-
day declared that the theory that
the woman held the gun in place and
pulled the trigger herself was unten-
able.
The testimony in the hearing
showed that Mrs. Munden died some
time between and TO O'Clock last
Wednesday morning The husband
of the woman left home early and
had gone some distance from the
house to get a load of wood. He re-
turned about 10 o'clock, and accord
ing to the story given by him after
wards found the dead body of his
wife lying across the floor Munden
contends that he did not enter the
room Immediately upon his return
He says that he merely opened the
door, saw that his wife was dead and
then rushed off to give the alarm to
his brother who was at work some
distance from the house. The two
then returned and examined the body
together The rifle with an empty
shell in the barrel was found near
the body Apparently Mrs. Munden
had been dead some time when
found
The defendant did not take the
stand himself this morning. Several
other witnesses were put on, how
ever.
The Munden farm is near the
county line. The defendant in the
case is only about % years of age
His wife was eighteen. They had
been married about two years.

HAVE YOU
BEEN ETCHED7

If you wish to be handed Down to
posterity in the new method you must
be etched.
These pictures, when the work Of an
artist, are satisfying. The etcher stu
dies his subject as for a portrait
making various sketches and poses
The finished picture is then done in
dry point, etching directly on cop
per.
This differs from the ordinary etch-
ing, which is impressed on a gelatin
Gus substance and eats into the plate.
Naturally it requires much skill and
in the hands Of an amateur is disap-
pointing.
About a dozen prints can be made
from the plate, or if one wishes to
have 1t engraved on steel as many
can be had as desired. The artists
proofs are more desirable.
The artist does his own printing,
usually on parchment paper, in grays
or browns, according to the taste Of
the patron, and the picture when well
framed is more satisfactory, both as
likeness and work of art, than the av-
erage portrait in oils or water colors.
It is difficult to represent coloring
faithfully, which often detracts from
the work of an artist skilled in catch
ing expression. This difficulty is over
come in the etched portrait, yet the
same expression of temperament is
possible as in a painting. The etch-
ing is less mechanical than the photo
graph, however successful, and the
finish is softer
