WHERE TEXANs EXCEL.

Sometimes they are not good poll
ticians in Texas. and occasionally they
are not good citizens. but they are al
ways good shots, The last proof of
this was at Sherman the other day
where a family feud was on. There
were three on each side when the
shooting began, two men and one
woman, and when it was over four of
them were dead and two MORALLY
wounded And that, we take it, is go
ing some, even for Texas.-Lawrence

Northumberland and Christianity
are in combat along the borders or
Europe, Africa and the Asiatic con-
tinent. For the purposes of every
day fighting it is not called cru
SADIE, on the Christianity side of the
line, but it is so termed by publica-
lions favoring the cause of the follow
ers of the Prophet Mohamet. The
war started by Italy on Turkey, and
which has an intermittent eruption
between the armies and navies or
these countries, stirred up a hornets
nest. Racial feeling is strong, but its
strength is totally undeveloped in
comparison with the hatred that fills
the Mosiem when persons of his re-
ligion are attacked. Following
therefore, the Italian-Turkish trou-
bles, come others along the south
shore of the Mediterranean. France
has seen touches of it in the ZnaSsa-
cres at Fee, after thirty years of safe
ty and sanity and peaceful coalition
with the military of the European
country in its Moroccan dependency.
The trouble in Persia also came with
more force against the representatives
of the so-called Christian nations,
after. the Mofiammedans were being,
as they, believed, sorely scourged and
fought. There was terrible violence,
such as only comes in q war for re-
ligion and never@in war of conquest
for gold or for territorial expansion.

Gently had his life. threatened. 1t is
believed that the Mohammedans are
made, by their chiefs and rulers, to
believe that it is war against their
religion and the less educated of the
lot are fighting for the prophet.
While it is not classed as a fight of
the so-called Christian nations, on the
one side, it is the theme held out to
the followers of the prophet, in the
sunny lands bordering on the Medi-
terranean and the Red sea, and the
uneducated are furious with all the
fervor of the war that has come with
religion since the time of the birth of
Christ.-Hutchinson News.
DIR. CLARK FOR SUFFRAGE.

reported as saying in a recent ad-
dress that modern college education
often developed in girls mannish
manners and a taste for slang. DR..
Clark has observed no such results
from equal suffrage, however. and
he has visited most of the states and
countries where women vote. In a

tive hearing on woman suffrage in
