THE TEXAS WAR
Present Conditions FOreshadOW the
Wiping Out of Liquor Interests
and Liquor Politicians i'm Next
Years Election.

In commenting on the result of the
recent election, J. H. Gambrell, su-
perintendent of the Anti Saloon
League of-Texas, says:
'The defeat Of the amendment was
encompa4 4sed by the foreign and ne
Igro vote. In party politics this vote
is anti-Democratic, and the tempo
rary saloon victory is therefore to
be credited to anti-Democratic vot-
Iers."
Mr.. Gambrell further says that it
is conceded by all that not less than
10000 negroes and Mexicans votGd
against the amendment, and with
the negro and Mexican vote, the
amendment would have carried any
where from the figures named to
85,000 and he asserts: 1T is, there
fore, beyond dispute that the tenn
porary saloon victory was won by
the most unstable and venal element
in our citizenship"
1t would be an act of charity to-
ward the negroes to hide the fact
that they as a class favor the unre-
strained liquor traffic, for repeated
tests show that they do, and the
cure for this, which the better ele-
ment so much desires, will be found
in plain statements of fact and Wig
|orous criticism.
Despite the large negro vote which
Invariably goes with the unstable
and venal element of our citizenship
in conflicts for liquor supremacy,
Mr.. Gambrell asserts with assurance
that the saloon in Texas is doomed.
He says the liquor dealers and their
political helpers recognize this fact;I
that the Fort Worth Record, which
fought desperately for the liquor
cause, confesses that the saloon
must go. Speaking further, Mr.
Gambrell says:
present conditions with absolute
certainty foreshadow the wiping out
of the politics Of this State the Ii
quor interests and liquor politicians
in next years election. The forced
recognition of this fact has spread |
dismay in liquor camps throughout
the State. AS matters now stand, |
Texas prohibitionists are face to
face with the greatest and gravest
opportunity that has ever confront
ed them. Nothing short of folly in
the ranks of the prohibitiOnists can
prevent the wiping out of the poll
ties of this State next year the liq-
uor interests and its hired politi-
Clans"
Liquor domination of public af-
fairs is coming to an end, not only
IN Texas and Tennessee, but in all
the states, for as Carmack truthful
ly said: 1.-The saloon has sinned away
its day of grace; it can not be con-
trolled; therefore it must be de-
stroyed.'

A HORRIBLE DEED
William Henry Burnham Murdered
While Mapping at His Home, by
His Father-in-laW, l. w. LinXWeil-
Ter, Sunday Afternoon.

Ter, Sunday Afternoon.
Sunday afternoon while mapping
at his home, No. 1913 West Jordan
street, William Henry Burnham wa;
murdered deliberately by his father
/ iin-law, I. w. Linxweiller.
The record of crime will disclose
murders and homicides of various
degrees, instigated by a multiplicity
of motives, but this deed of 1. w
LinXweiller is one of the most hor-
rible and blood-curdling chronicled
in Caddo parish.
In eXtenuation of this crime it is
pleaded that LinXweiller was suffer-
/ ing at the time from homicidal in
sanity, but whatever was his hallu-
Icination his deed has left bereft a
loving and devoted wife and children
of their affectionate protector and
provider, and has removed from this
community a good and useful citi-
zen, a young man aged 80 years, who
was esteemed by all who had his
friendship and his acquaintance.
The deceased was barber, en-
ployed at the Imperial.
At the time of his murder the
family were in the home, doing af-
ter dinner. Among the inmates Of
this home were Linxweiller and his
wife. AS splendid son-in-law,
Burnham had the love of his moth
er-in-law, a devotion most natural.
With his earnings he contributed to
the welfare of all the family. When
he sought repose in his afternoon
mapping he was not conscious of
danger, nor had he any promonition
Of his end. He was contented and
happy in his home with his loved
ones.
As he dozed, Linxweiller was
whetting his knife for the horrible
deed. He was deliberate in the
sharpening to keen edge the knife
with which he committed the deed.
AS his son-in-law slept, he assaulted
him with the knife. There were
three stabs, one severed the jugular
vein. At the first blow, Burnham
leaped bewildered, and fell within a
few feet bleeding to his death. When
the physicians reached the home his
soul had taken its flight to God.
Monday afternoon in Greenwood
cemetery, in the presence of the sor-
rowing and sympathetic friends, the
body of William Henry Burnham
was conveyed to the grave, and the
widow and her children returned tol
their home.
How great is their loss! Who can
fill or supply the vacancy? Sympa-
thy! Who should receive and have
the fullest measurement of sympa-
thy, if it be not this widow and her
children.
AS to Linxweiller, who is in Jail,
and is said to be insane, the law and
Justice will deal with him. The State |
will assume that he is sane and will
proceed on this theory until the fact
is disproyed by commission OF
IF insane, the deed may
be relieved of some Of its horror.
For the information of the readers
Of the Caucasian who may not know
it may be said that he
was for years on the police force and
was collector Of tolls on the rail-
road bridge until relieved from duty |
several years ago. Since then he
has had no steady employment, and
this fact, perhaps, may have had
some effect on his mind, but again
the query is predominant, why
should he have slain with delibera-
ton the young man who was to him
in every sense of the word a most
0utiful son?

That the people of Columbus and vicin-
ity may become better acquainted with
the wonderful western country, a free
exhibition of the grains and fruits of
Montana, Oregon and Washington has
been opened at Al North High street by
the Great Northern Railway.
The exhibition is we'll worth the visit.
Great sheaves of golden wheat, oats and
other grains adorn the walls in artistic
array. Big crystal jars display the
fruits of the far west. Literature de-
scriptive of the wonderful opportunities
awaiting the homeseeker are distributed,
and all inquiries made by visitors are
cheerfully answered by those in charge.

AS proof that the apple industry is
