JEFFERSON. TEN AS, thursday. AUGUST Is 1912
TO Democrats OF TEXAS.

Now that our state primary il
over, | feel free to invite the
more active attention to the
pending national election.
| am sure that regardless of
pre-convention preferences every
democrat in Texas is gratitied
that our party is united as never
before. and that we all rejoice
in the fact that there arc innu-
merable indications that the
nominees of the Baltimore con
vention will be triumphantly
elected.
1t is everywhere conceded that
Texas has crowned herself with
everlasting glory, both rs the
pioneer Wilson for-Pr G $ q g n {
state and in the stalwart conduct
Of her delegation at the national
convention. Unques t on b y
Texas was a dominant and posi-
bly, the determining factor. Ger
tainly no other state, as such,
was as potential.
We now have a nation wide
reputation to protect, and | know
you all greatly desire that the al
most unprecedented prestige
thus acquired shall be fully and
permanently sustained.
The candidacy of Governor
Wilson must be continued in the
spirit of his own splendid con
duct when he repudiated the
proifered Ryan gold.
1t requires large amount Of
money TO meet the legitimate e1
penseS of presidential cam
paign, and since ours is strug-
gle to restore genuine peoples
government, we must look to the
people not only for votes but for
financial support.
To this end now appeal TO all
Texas democrats to at once pro.
coed TO the raising of cohtribu-
ton to the national campaign
fund of such proportions as will
be worthy of the greatest demo
cratic state in the Union, a fund
so large as TO place the Lone
Star State close up to the top in
the financial roll Of honor, as we
are now universally recognized
TO be in bringing about the nomi-
nation Of Governor Wilson.
Experience has demonstrated
that newspapers are the best
medium Of raising u popular
campaign fund and | desire -
earnestly request every Demc.
cratic newspaper and other pub
locations in Texas interested in
the election of Wilson and Mar
shall to at once actively enter
upon a campaign for the accom-
plishment Of such fund ask
ing for Sl.OO or other small do
nations, In addition to this
procedure | shall forthwith un-
dertake IN other ways a system

ering the entire state for the
procurement of larger donations
and that no time may be lost and
no one overlooked, | now invite
the prompt sending Of same to
me without further request.
Let Texas do her full share in
never ceaSing effort to place IA
son of the Southland in the White
House.
Woodrow Wilson will be the
next president Of the United
States.

It Is found that IN concave spherical
mirrors the reflected rays only come to
a definite focus in the point when the
angular aperture Of the mirror does
not exceed 8 or 10 degrees With a
larger aperture the rays reflected near
the edge cut the axis Of the mirror at
q point nearer its surface than those
from points Immediately around the
center. This being so and the curve
of the mirror being continuous, a cor
responding curve Of successive focal
points Is formed in space and can be
rendered visible by the rays falling on
a rejecting surface. such as sheet OF
white paper OF tablecloth- The nap
Kin ring is cylinder and possesses the
properties of the spherical mirror along

portions more remote from the center
line are brought to different focus
from those falling nearer the center.

Woman and Wit.

A gentleman once presumed to twit
lady on her sex's incapacity for
humorous retort.
She insisted that women were cley-
erer at response than men.
She clinched her argument. why,
she insisted, don't they actually call
witty retorts Sally's'?"
An English gentleman once assert
ed that the only sort of woman he
would be willing to marry would be a
very clever One-"a woman clever
enough to begin a conversation with
a repartee."
Brander Matthews attributes 10
Lewis, the author of THE Monk" a
repartee in rhyme, which has become
one of the most celebrated in our
language.
Lord Eskine, at woman presuming
to rail,
Called a wife "a tin canister tied to
ones tall
And fair Lady Anne, while the sub
ject he carries on,
Seems hurt by his lordship's degrad-
ing comparison.
But wherefore degrading? Consider
ed Alright,
A canister's useful and polished and
bright,
And should dirt its original purity
That's the fault of the puppy to whom
it is ted"
Another famous response was that
of Talleyrand.
When Talleyrand was created prince
of Benevent he presented his wife to
the emperor.
Napoleon knew that the new prin-
cess resembled the heroine of the
modern problem play in that she was
"A lady with record,
Whose career was rather checkered. y
So he expressed the hope that her
conduct in the future would be in ac-
cord with her rank, Talleyrand bowed
and responded that Nine. de Talley-
rand would undoubtedly pattern her
