PULLED OFF FARCE COMEDY,

shreveport Times]
Senator Bailey of Texas, pulled
off farce comedy all by himself
at Washington Saturday. Literal
ly speaking. he walked right out,
turned right around and. walked
in again. He resigned his seat in
the United States senate in high
dudgeon, and then in low dudgeon
so to speak, he withdrew his re-
signa4ion.
The ludicrous pat of the whole
affair is Mr.. Bailey's monumental
assurance in thus "chastising" his
democratic colleagues. Forsooth,
because they pursue a course that
does not meet with his approval,
be will no longer associate with
them! He is the tail that must
wag the dog. and when the dog
demurs he insists on separating
himself from the animal.
If Senator Bailey la to play the
part of a trouble maker at Wash
ington, as he seems to have played
it in Texas. it is unfortunate that
his resignation did not stand.

In MemOriam.

Mrs. s. E. York nee Echols, wife of
Wesley York. was born in Alabama
Sept. 1912. In an early day her father
and mother moved to Mississippi, and
then to Texas. where she spent the rest
of her natural life. She was married
to Wesley York March End 1850. To
this union were born eight children,
four boys and four girls, two dying in
in early childhood. Mrs. York died at
her home in Marshall Texas March 6,
1911, and we laid her remains in Green
wood cemetery to rest till the morning
of the resurrection.
She professed faith in Christ about
1877 and joined the Cumberland Pres
byterian church with her husband, at
old Mt. Comfort. Marion county. They
were regular attendants as the means
ofgrace at their church. They lived
so as to impress their children with the
Importance of christian life; and as
they grew up many of them protested
Christ and joined the church with their
father and mother. This seemed to the
writer to be nearly a model family,
among the best of our race. Industrious
kind; generous, affectionate, true and
ready to help in anything elevating
to their fellows.
Sister York was loved by those who
knew her, for her simple, pure chris
tlan life. She lived to the ripe age of
6S years; she lived long andlived well.
Blessed are the dead that die in the
Lold; they rest from their labor,

BAILEY REPUDIATED,
Press Opinions Compiled by New

The following extracts, taken at
random from the nations press.
show a unanimous desire for the
retirement of Senator Bailey.
The senator from Texas is open
ly repudiated by the democratic
papers throughout the country.
They see>that. though nominally
the democratic leader in the SEN
ate, Senator Baily is not nor never
has been in sympathy with pro-
gressive democratic policies. AZ

great corporations with more sin
gle hearted devotion than the So
called democratic leader from Tex
as"
His resignation last Saturday
was no surprise to those who knew
the trend Of his mind.
He has been for the corpora
tons and against the people more
actively as the years past by; he
has been an able second to Aldrich.

that gentleman's onslaughts upon
popular rights.
His orders have come from No.

quarters of the Standard Oil.
Bailey has taken his salary from
the people, but larger fees from
the enemies of the people; no man
can serve two masters, and there
has never Teen any doubt of his
loyalty to the corporations which
have employed him.
It is generally agreed that he
should now quit public life and
openly enter the employment OF
the corporations he has served in
secret
Senator Bailey's resignation Of
fered in earnest would stand out
as the most praisew orthy decision
of his public life-his one act OF
unselfsh devotion to the public
welfare.

CARE OF cHILDREN's TEETH
A bad condition of the throat,
the nose and the ears is made
worse by decayed teeth. They add
to the chances of catching infec.
tious diseases, while ,well-cared
for teeth and a clean mouth pre-
vents tuberculosis. By early care
the teeth may be preserved throu'
life. The condition ofthe teeth has
much to do with general health.
Unclean mouths promote growth
of disease germs and cavities in
the teeth are centers ot detection.
The first permanent molars are
perhaps the most important teeth
in the mouth. They come about
the sixth year Immediately follow
ing the temporary teeth, and are
most frequently neglected because
they are often mistaken for tenn.
porary teeth. Children should
be taught that decay of teeth is
caused primarily by the fermen-
tation of starchy foods and sugars
and the greatest factor in prevent,
ing disease is the removal of food
particles by frequent brushing.
Children should be prevented from
eating crackers and candy between
meals. and when possible the teeth
should be cleaned after eating.
Infection by the dentist should
be made at least once a year. Mo-
theirs clubs could greatly aid in
the care of school children's teeth
by distributing leaflets containing
information on this subject.
MEDICAL SOCIETY CONDEMNS GERM.
LADEN CUP.
That the common drinking cup

action of the men we'll posted on
matters pertaining to health. The
Denton County Medical Society,
at a recent meeting, adopted a res
olution condemning the public
drinking cup in the public schools
as unsanitary and a menace to the
health of children. If such action
as this would be taken by all the
County Medical Societies over the
state, it would not be long before
Texas would follow Oklahoma and

to defeat the tariff commission bill
