Senator Bailey, by voting with the
republicans, defeated the farmers
free list bill, measure that was
originated by a democrat and passed
by solid democratic vote in the
house 1t may be that time viii re-
veal the complete ignorance of all
other democrats now serving in con
gress and justify our esteemed sem
ator in his peculiar position. That
some men know more than others
must be accepted as reasonable
conclusion, yet we are at loss to be
able to understand how such a
number of good democrats men
who have in many instances secured
their seats in the house and senate
BY reason of an advocacy OF the
same democratic principles they
now stand for against the republic
can ideas to which Senator Bailey
has given his support-could be al
together and entirely wrong while
he is perfectly right. 1t is not eE-
pected that any man shall surren-
der his honest convictions, but in
politics there is such thing as the
party dominating the man instead OF
the man dominating the party If
the story told by the votes cast and
amendments offered in the present
session of congress discloses any one
thing more than another it is the
fact that the junior senator from
Texas is not in harmony with that
sentiment in congress which has
been termed democratic. Senator
Bailey stands alone in his opposition
to democratic measures. Either ne
must be right and all the others
wrong. or else he is very much in

ELLIS COUNTY HAPPY;
HAS FINE PIKE ROADS.
Hons. Mark Smith and Y. ID. kem-
bic Talk of Good Streets AT
Waxahachie and Good
Pixies

The following is taken from a re-
cent issue of the Cleburne Morning
Review.
Hon Mark Smith, who wrote for
the Ellis county papers for several
years under the name of Jumbo,
accompanied by Judge Y, D. KEN
Bile, were here on business on Mon
day. They were seen by a Review
man and talked very Interestingly
of the good streets and cement side
walks in Waxahachie, also about the
piked roads throughout Ellis coun-
ty. Judge Kemble said;
We fave completed seven and 3
half miles Of cement sidewalks and
curbings in Waxahachie, and every
body is quite proud of the achieve
ment. | think several miles of addi-
tional walks will be built very soon.
Hon Mr. Smith said:
ellis county started in to build
piked roads, precinct No. l. in which
Waxahachie is located taking the
initiative. Bonds to the amount Of
$250,O00 we're voted in this precinct
1t raised property "a cents on the
800 My farm advanced thirty per
cent in value, Immediately upon the
completion of the road, and this was
true of all the nearby farms
I'VE have forty years in which to
pay off the bonds. but | am sure we
will pay them off in twenty years.
We have already voted $500, 00O in
the county and the roads are being
built from county line to county
line Each road precinct, or district,
pays off its own bonds, so it does
not raise the taxes any higher, to
have piked roads all over the coun-
ty. than to have them in one pre-
cinct The people at first fought the
good roads proposition, but now
they are red-hot advocates of pixies,
and they are building them in every
direction Instead of miring up in
the mud a farmer can put a heavy
load on his wagon and trot to town
any day rain or shine.
The pathfinders party, few
lays ago travelling our piked roads, |
stated that they were the best they |
lad driven over in any county
Johnson county has so much rock |
md gravel about on the creeks and |
branches, it would be much easier |
or Johnson county to have piked |
'oads than Ellis county If Johnson |
county does not make a start for
good roads, pretty soon, she viii
drop behind in the progressive move
ment to put Texas to the front
have learned that the Review has
been after piked roads for years
Keep up the lick. Your efforts will
bear good fruit after a while"

WOOL BILL IS KEY TO
ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS
II the Measure Is Signed by Presi-
dent the Session viii Continue
Until Regular Term
tOnyeneS.

That the termination of the pres
ent called session of congress de
ponds upon President Taft's action
regarding the wool bill as passed
by the senate was indicated in a
statement made by Congressman
Henry T Rainey of Illinois to REP
resentative Of this paper Wednesday
morning
Congressman Rainey lectured at
the Chautauqua Tuesday night and
was at the depot Wednesday morn
ing to depart for his next engage
ment when seen by a reporter
He predicted that President Taft
would veto the wool bill about Fri
day or Saturday of this week, say,
ing that if the measure did not re
ceive the approval of the president
congress would adjourn at once as
it would be a waste of time for the
democrats to consider further tariff
legislation If, on the other hand,
said MI Rainey, the president signs
the wool bill congress will remain IN
session all summer and will be mer-
ged with the regular session which
convenes The first Monday in De-
cember. With the wool bill approved
by the president the democrats viii
then proceed to carry out their en-
tire program of a downward revis-
ion of the tariff
Congressman Rainey was asked if
the next presidential campaign was
creating much discussion in the cap
ital city He said Washington was
not the proper place to go to get
line on the situation as relating to
democrats possibilities for the nom
nation He said most of the demo-
Gratis in congress favored Champ
Clark, but this was on account of
personal reasons more than anything
else Mr. Clark is speaker of the
house and quite naturally would le
ceive the support of his colleagues
as a matter of pride. He said it WAS
a foregone conclusion
that President Taft would be nomi-
mated by the republicans.
