Says the Dallas Times-IIerald:
Real democrats should direct the af-
fairs of the democratic party" That's
just what they are going to do-real
democrats of the progressive kind, not
mossbacks who want 10 peTpetuate
bossism, graft and corruption. Real
democrats are determined that the
people shall rule, and the direct cleo
ton of senators, the initiative and the
referendum will give the people a
chance.

Texas land is the cheapest land in
the world today, considering its pro
ductive capacity, but its value is stead
lily increasing. and the opportunities
for land investment are growing less

seekers from the older states and from
Europe have been pouring into Texas
as never before in the history 0f the

Clothes Stolen From Dead.
Mr.. Bostick, citing many instances
of suffering, tells the story Of a sick
man, somewhat improved on the day
rice was given out, who tried to reach
the place of distribution, as he pos

Overcome with hunger, disease and
cold, he died by the roadside before
reaching his destination. His ticket

body.

He found New Hampshire roads in

their maintenance and improvement:
Establishment of patrols: use of
split log drass; cost of maintenance to
be borne tWo-thirds by state. one
third by towns; preparation of a map
showing all highways in state. to be
submitted TO Legislature; reinforced
concrete cglverts: native stone ma
cadam roads where available; use of
trap rock for top course only where
native stone is suitable for foundation
use and not for top: use of bitulninous
binder during construction of stone
ro1ds, or as surface treatment; in4ts-
tfgation of grade crossings: employ
mont of enough engineers and inspec-
tors so that an engineer and one or
iffnre inspectors can be stationed on
al state work; continuance of state
aid to towns and the creation of an
|1niirely separate fund for maintenance
purposes; state To be given authority
to complete trunk lines in towns, which
have not appropriated their share,
cost to be collected by the state, an
nual convention suggested every fall
