JUDGE W. f. RAMSEY'S AN
NOUNCEMENT

Judge w. +. Ramsey made his
platform for Governor known in
the daily papers last Saturday
and it is a popular number. 1t
embraces the views of d real
statesman and he leaves no
doubt where he stands on all
questions affecting the interests
of Texas. II is a broad, sane
and comprehensive deliverance
and it has had a wide reading.
He deplores the profligate use Of
money in elections; he demands
stricter laws governing poll tax
payments; he favors an en-
ployers' liability compensation
act: he endorses an eight-hour
day for labor on public works;
he urges reforms IN court pro-
cedure; he desires a resubmls-
sion OF State wide prohibition
after laws protecting the ballot
nave been enacted; he adyo-
Gates a law providing for a
majority vote IN the primaries
20 elect State officers: he advo-
Gates drastic liquor laws; he de-
nOunces the abuse practiced by
social clubs of liquor privileges;
ne pleads for liberal treatment
Of State schools; he favors lar
ger interests in farming indus
tres: he wants the State to
deal literally with the old Con-
federates, he opposes the apph-
cation OF the referendum and
the recall 10 Judges and State
officers, but favors il for cities
and towns where the people de-
sire d. he believes in reforms in
prison management: he utterly
opposes any combination o.
license, liquor and .ucre control
ling the politics of the State,
etc. We have not the space or
the time now 10 mention other
blanks in his platform. Suffice
IL % say that they are ample
and meet the requirements of a
progressive State like Texas.

In another part OF this paper
YOU will find an article under the

not get into places like the girls

that they do, but if you as
mothers of the girls DO not know

and il is the mothers own fault,
and the blame can only be laid al
their own feet II the girl goes
wrong. and is disgraced in the
eyes Of the ever eager public.
If we as parents Of girls or heads
of families do not rise up and
check some things that are be
ing carried on in this town and
that soon. there will be things
happen here that will astonlsh
you and heap disgrace upon your
heads and the fair name Of Lub-

For this reason the farmers IN

II appears from an article in
the Colorado Record Of last week
that a. b. Robertson, who has
been mentioned a number Of
times as a probable candidate to
succeed Hon. W. K. Smith, the

phaticaly denied that he will

the support OF Ex-Governor
Campbell. They are old class
mates in college, and they are
life long friends. Nevertheless,
il will be seen from the deliver
ance of Judge Ramsey that he
differs on a number of leading
issues from Ex-Governor Camp
bell. AS a matter of fact, he Is
no one mans candidate. lie Is
the candidate Of the law-abldlng
and moral people Of Texas that
class of people opposing whlskey
politics and whiskey politicians.
He stands for law and order, for
decency and sobriety, for man
hood and wOmanhood, for child
hood and good morals, for
every laudable movement that
has the development and prog
ress of good government in
view.
How about Governor Colquitt?
He stands for everything held
dear by the saloons and brew
cries Of the State, and he rep
resents the hoodlum element in
Texas politics. He is the per
sonal candidate for Wahrmund,
the San Antonio brewer, and
Jacob Wolters. the leader Of the
whiskey element, and he is the
general candidate Of the saloons
and the liquor interests Of Texas
They will stand by him, finance
his campaign and manage it.
SO that the issue is sharply
drawn. Ii can not be- misunder-
stood Ramsey embodles the
hopes and the aspirations Of the
best people while Colluitt is the
exponent Of the worst gang that
ever cursed Texas politics.
Ramsey is the heightened, dig
nifed iurist. thoroughly ac-
quainted with the needs Of the
State: COlQuitt is the peanut
politician, appealing 20 the baser
passions Of the masses, a petit
logger in law. and a demagogue
in practice. Ramsey is a sue
cessful man in business, having
made his own business a success;
COlquitt is a failure in business
and has spent the most Of his
life with his mouth sucking al
the public teat. Ramsey is ac-
c0mplished in the arts OF educa-
ton. a polished gentleman, and
when elected Governor will have
associated with him in the public
service men Of high character
and large experience; COlquitt
is superficial in his attainments,
crude and grotesque 10 his man
ners. and keeps partizans m
office regardless of their quaiii-
cations for service.
10 will not take the people
long % determine which one Of
these men they want in the Gov
errors Office. If the two could
90 round side by side without
making a speech and let the peo-
pie look al them, that would
be enough % fix the issue. But
when they speak and let the
people know the content Of their
minds. the issue will be doubly

The rainy spell did not seem to damper
the ardor OF the Virginia politicians.
Arteries, Ancient and Modern.

1t has been discovered, through proc
esses too intricate TO rehearse to the
unscientihc reader, that the mummies
OF the ancient Egyptians indicate that
those people suffered with arterio-
sclerosis and other LESSONS. Herein do
we find that modern theories are
smashed upon the altar Of truth
For it is said that arteriaI troubles
Of the present day are due TO modern
civilization, that we indulge too largely
in athletic exercises, that we are prone
to intoxication and to the use of to-
bacco, and that the excitement attendant
upon modern existence causes abnormal
blood pressure. But the ancient Egyp-
tians knew nothing OF tobacco; they
were not given to excessive work or
exercise, and the problem of life was
not with them a strenuous matter The
logic OF these facts, therefore. is that
the reasons which are given by the medi-
cal profession to-day for arterial
troubles have no foundation whatever.
As for the moral, it is simple. We
will smoke, as usual; we will exercise
our muscles with enthusiasm. and we will
indulge in the flowing bowl, with the
that even if we denied
all these things, we would still
go the way of the mummihed Egyptian.
In other words. what's the use?
