Governor Wilson is the embodi-

POLITICAL FACTS.
Matters Of Interest to Every Citizen Of
This Country.
Wilson A Big Favorite.

The New York Herald has for a
score of years prosecuted straw
vote before each Presidential cleo
ton, the result of which has usual
ly proven its correctness. The paper
is supporting Taft, but does not
color its news to suit its ideas. The
canvass is on larger scale this
year than ever before, that paper
having united with number of 9TH
er big dailies. including the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, in taking a straw
vote. Twenty-nine states have been
pretty thoroughly canyassed and it
is shown that twenty-three of them
are for Wilson, while Roosevelt has
a slight lead in five and Taft in one
Wilson's total vote in the twenty
nine is about as much as that OF
Taft and Roosevelt combined. The
Cincinnati Enquirer, which frequent
ly does not support Democratic NOM
inees,s says that Wilson will carry the
pivotal states of New York, Ohio
and Indiana and have three or four
hundred votes in the electoral col
lege, when only 266 is necessary
to choice All the news is good
and of a nature to fill the Demo-
cratic heart with hope.
The assurance of success may
make many voters relax their efforts
and this is the only fear that it Gre
ates. A spirit of overconfidence
might result in defeat. The opposi-
ton is active and alert. 1t has all
the money it needs and has only to
signify its desire to have many mil
lions more added to the large sums
already subscribed. Our candidate
will not accept tainted money. II
is up to the people to finance his
campaign. He needs both their mon
ey and their support. A glorious op-
portunity has opened for the Dem
ocrats to come to their own. Will
they accept it or let it go by de-
fault. We believe that every patriots
man is anxious and willing to dc
all in his power to accomplish re
suit that means so much to the
American people and will not onl,
contribute as much as possible Il
pay the legitimate expenses of this
campaign, but use every individual
endeavor to spread the glorious
Democratic gospel proclaimed a

for Democratic Elector for the
Ninth District of Kentucky. Mr..
Stewart comes at that time to adj
dress the people on the political is
sues OF the hour, issues vital to
Republican and Democrat alike.
There never was a time in the po-
litical situation as important as
1t is now. In all the United States
the questions of the moment invite
and hold the study OF every think
ing man and woman. and to hear
them discussed by fair minded. in
telligent, capable speakers is the
duty of everyone. Mr.. Stewart is a
speaker who possesses. in high
degree, the qualities of capability,
intelligence and fair-mindedness. He
is not a practical politician, but a
lawyer, trained to analyze, to OBJ
serve and TO study the affairs OF
men and OF parties. When he speaks
he deals in facts-stubborn things
and presents them to his hearers in
a way that all can understand and

Take Nothing For Granted.

At present there seems hardly a
doubt of the election of Governor
Wilson. We should remember, how
ever, that nothing is sure but death
and taxes and that no man is cer-
tainly elected until the polls close.
Eternal vigilance is the price OF
political victory as of liberty. Moth,
ing seemed so certain as that Blaine
would be elected President, but lit
tie things changed the tide and
Grover Cleveland was successful.
The break of Dr. Burchard. when
Ir Blaine met with the preachers
of New York, declaring that the
Democratic party was the party of
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion"
changed enough votes in New York
to give the State to his opponent.
There is no probability of Burch-
ard appearing in the present CAM
paign, but we should avoid even tine
appearance of things that might
change vote. We can and must
elect Wilson and Marshall.

BETwEEN THE wOODsHED AND
THE KITCHEN.

Another tragedy Of 5lighted love
has been reported by the dispatches
from Athens, Ga. An ardent young
swain called up his lady fair and
asked her to walk to the altar with
him. She told him that she had an
other engagement. The young man
then did a very foolish thing. He
went out and shot himself right be-
tween the kitchen and woodshed
with a 22-caliber rifle. The shot was
not fatal. but the young man will
have a long hospital bill to pay.
A bullet between the woodshed
and the kitchen is apt to cause a
serious wound, and It is not strange
that the young man will have a
long hospital bill to pay, THE wond-
sr is that 1t didn't kill him.

what Americans would Save.

MnaU Amef1ChnS NOuiu save.
The Tariff Reform Committee is
prosecuting an investigation Of the
difference in American manufactures
sold abroad and to domestic con-
sumers and finds that it is con-
servative estimate that the Amer
lean consumer is Disseminated
against in favor of the foreigner to
the extent of not less than $4,000
10000 a year, or 500 for every
family in the United States. In 9TH
er words that amount would remain
in the pockets of home consumers
each year under proper down
ward revision of the tariff, which
would then yield more to pay the
expenses of an economically admin-
istered government than the high
tariff does now, which in msny
cases goes into the Golfers of the
trusts and favored interests with
out contributing to the support OF
the government.
1t will thus be seen what a ter
rifle tax we are paying for high
protection. A vote for Wilson aui
the Democratic nominees for Con-
gress will insure speedy and ma
terial reduction upon the necessitis 6
of life and put on the free list trust
controlled products and articles of
American manufacture, which are
sold abroad more cheaply than at

as well as some of the visitors in
the city, spent Sunday at Point

ing and returned to the city III good
humor. The train left Brownsville
about on time in the morning and
arrived at Isabel at the scheduled
time. After a short stay IN the
town, the visitors were taken by
Captain Collins in his motor boat,
the Martha j., across to Padre
Island and, after a short walk across
the island, the Gulf of Mexico was
reached. While the temperature Of
the water was very warm, however,
no one seemed to have he courage
to take a dip.
At the noon meal, the visitors
were shown how fish and oysters
ought to taste, and there is a pos

PLANT PURE BROOM CORN SEED
(ey o. {. Lewis, Oklahoma City, ok.)

While 1t is conceded that Oklahoma
leads In the quantity produced, the
deplorable fact remains that the man.
ufacturers are forced to rely upon
central Illinois and Kansas for quality.
The average farmer-influenced per-.
haps by the price his neighbor re-
ceived for his brush-decides to plant
some broomcorn. Without giving the
matter further consideration, he goes
to the nearest bsler and procures sew
eral sacks of trash and infertile seed
that was thrashed from his neighbor's
last years crop. This done, he pro-
ceeds 10 set apart a few acres of land
perhaps a last years corn field yet
covered with staiks-and, after pillow.
ing it once, plants it to broom corn
CD and awaits results. Under the
most favorable conditions more than
half a stand could not be expected,
and if the soil should be too cold the
small percentage OF fertile seed OBJ
tanned in the trash" planted would
not germinate; the results being dis.
~couraging and should be.
Some Timely Suggestions.
Having decided on the type best
adapted to your soil, the next step
should be to procure seed of the var,
iety w~anted-and right here I wish to
say that too much stress cannot be
laid on the Importance OF planting
PURE seed, as this Is the prime re-
quisite. You would not expect to
raise thoroughbred Poland China
from a pair of broken-down "Ten-
nessee r~idge-rooters," would you?
Well, it is as well within the realms
OF possibilities to do this as it is to
produce a good quality of brush from
poor seed.
The preparation Of the soil and the
tine for planting should now claim
your attention. Next in importance
to good seed is getting the soil in
proper condition to receive them.
Needs Frequent Cultivation.
The first step in this direction
should be to clear the field Of all
stalks. sticks and other distractions.
as these will greatly interfere with
cultivation il not removed.
Before breaking the field should be
disked both ways. This. when turned
under, forms a loose bed which 0 n
serves moisture and favors the rapid
root growth OF the young plants.
which is very essential. When the
plants are Just coming up 1t is 0 n
sided advisable to harrow the field
lengthwise the rows to prevent weeds
getting a start. Cultivation at fire.
quent intervals Is necessary until the
plants have attained a height of
twelve or fourteen inches, at which
time they will grow rapidly and
thrive with the same cultivation as
does Indian corn. Level culture
Chat is, no banking the soil to the
Dlantsl seems to be most satisfaeto-V
method.
