Richmond awoke with feelings Of dis
tinet satisfaction Wednesday morning
when instead OF the boiling sun In
which the city had sweltered for so
many days Of discomfort, there were
to be seen soft clouds oyerspreading
the sky,
In the early hours OF the morning
q light rain fell. There was not near
~ ns much Of IL AS the suffering pop
uface desired, but still enough TO lay
the dust and to cool the atmosphere:
and the people went 10 their work un-
der circumstances more favorable than
they had enjoyed since the great May
drought of 1911 got well under way
The best the weather bureau will
do is to promise unsettled weather, and
it ia not certain even Vet that the
drought. the longest experienced In
twenty years. is broken.

RANDELL CAN'T DEFEAT BAILEY

The announcement of Randell of
Sherman for the United States senate
against Joe Bailey will scarcely cause
a ripple on the political sea of Texas.
Randell succeeded Bailey in the
house of representatives, but he never
succeeded Bailey until the latter vol
unfairly gave up his place to take a
seat in the senate and when Randell
succeeds Bailey again it will be when
Bailey voluntarily retires. Randell is
good congressman, but he is not big
enough to go after Bailey's place and
be successful.
in order to make campaign against
Bailey he must of necessity run on a
platform demanding the initiative and
referendum and recall and the popu'
listic heresies that have been tried
and found wanting. Recall for the
judiciary is the most dangerous doc
trine that has ever been preached by
the American people.
Colquitt of Texas has refused to ap-
prove city charters that have the re-
call provision. Colquitt is right The
recall is good as theory. 1t sounds
well, it looks good on paper, it has
caught good men and many thinking
men, but when put into actual opera
tion, it has proved a boomerang and
has done many times more harm than
good The recall properly used Is d
wise legislative provision but 1t can
not be wisely used, it gives an oppor'
tunity for the spirit of the mob to as
sert itself and is not safe proposi'
tion for the people to enact into law.
Democratic papers over the United
States that desire to choose the path
of least obstruction and desire to be
popular with the people whether right
or wrong will either indorse the recall
in its fullest sense or they will take
no stand whatever. But the active,
energetic press that is not afraid to
express its views will fight the recall
movement in modern politics. The re.
suit of that law has been seen in sew
eral cities. Dallas. Texas, has espe-
cially suffered and is still suffering
from that provision In It's charter and
no man knows of that better than Gov.
Colquitt of Texas.
Randel on that kind of platform
can never take the seat of Joe Bailey
in the United States senate.

NEW ADDITION TO
BAPTIST CHURCH
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENT ARE
BEAUTY OF CHURCH.

In the busy whirl Of improvements
Ardmore must not overlook its
churches said Rev, f. NJ. Masters,
of the Broadway Baptist church,
this morning. "and the Baptist
people have voted to begin an addi-
tion to their church that will cost
several thousands of dollars. Some
OF the required funds are now Oh
lhand and the rest of it will be cas-.
lily enough secured" Y
This church is located at the cor
ner of Broadway and c streets and
is in one of the most prominent
places in the city. The Broadway
Baptist Sunday school has grown
so fast that the building is made
quate 20 accommodate the classes
and more room is one of the I'M
perative needs of the church. At
the regular services at the church
the building is crowded and more
room is one of the crying needs
of the church.
Since Rev. Masters came here from
Fort Worth and took hold of the
Broadway Baptist church he has
done a wonderful work, the pay
ing membership has been doubled,
the church has been built up spirit
ually and financially. Rev. Mr.,
Masters is very popular with his
people and is a tireless worker in
church work.

A Sore Uncertainty.
The breeches-skirt has come, they say
Believe it if you can
And lots of women folks, of course,
Will now dress like a man:
And women barber shops will thriy
(They will be Fashions slave),
For if they dress in mems attire,
OF course they'll have a shave.
And they must smoke, and chew an,
drink
1t will be quite a sight
And some of them will "cuss," o
course,
And some of them will fight;
And who will do housekeeping. now
The breeches-skirt has come?
Indeed, the whole compoodlement
Is mixing me up some.
Some men are little things, you know;

And If an amazon, you see,
Should take a man in charge,
And then maltreat him on the street
1t would be hard to know,
In fighting his own defense, ,
How far man could go.
For women folks have privileges,
No sane man will deny,
And it is surely not polite
To black a woman's eye;
So all the way that we can know
The like | never heard
Is for the men-the men in fact
To all turn out a beard
or course that can not serve for long,
For shaving will grow hair,
And women folks who would ape men
Need threfore not despair;
Just keep on wearing breeches-skirts,
And shave yourselves with care.
And pretty soon the Lord himself
Can not tell what you are.
