Ninety New York Votes
Swing toWilson When
They Can Secure His
Two Thirds Majority.
Ryan D e e G a t e $,
Withheld From Clark,
Also Given to Wilson.
F a cts Disprove
Br y n s Charges
Against Clark.

BALTIMORE, July 3.-The
nomination of Woodrow Wilson
has exonerated Champ Clark
from the malicious and untruth-
full charges made by w. J. Bryan.
The votes of the New York
delegation were cast for Wilson
Just when they were needed to
secure the nomination for him.
Many Underwood delegates
and the Virginia delegation, con-
trolled by Thomas F. Ryan,
swung into line for Wilson when
it became possible for their votes
to nominate him
These same votes were with
held from Clark when they would
have nominated him.
These facts utterly disprove the
statement made by Bryan on the
floor of the convention when he
brazenly attacked Clark as the
candidate of Charles F Murphy,
Ryan and the interests, and said
he would support no man who
had been endorsed by them.
The Murphy votes were east
for Clark too late to nominate
him. The Ryan votes were ready
when Wilson needed them.

Reputable gentlemen who

the killing of Patrick Moon

ago, say that a number Of
those examined stated under
oath that they had never
heard of the case that they
didn't know that Pat Moon

From the deal we are get
ting at West Liberty, it
seems that instead of being
for the puplic convenience,
the mail service isfor the in
dividual benefit. Without
notice to the public, on last
Saturday, the anal route from
here to Camel City was a.
bandoned. We learn that.
at Camel City the mail for
this place is waiting. Some
time ago the postoffice at In
deX, ournearest railroad sta
ton, was moved a mile into
the country and the mail
that the 0. & X. brings had
to be carried horseback from
Camel City, and that route
has been abolished. To show
the inconvenience to which
this puts us read the route a
letter mailed at a postoffice
within six miles Of West Lib
erty: 1t was mailed at
Grassy, from there it went to
Hazel Green, from there to
Jackson, from there to Lex
ingtoA, from there to Wrig-
ley by way of Morehead,
and then to this place, a dis
lance Of nearly two hundred
miles to get six.
What we need, and what
we ought to have, is the es-
adjustment Of a mail route
with a mail clerk on the O.
& K, a post Office at the sta
ton Of Index and a route
from that place to West Lib
erty. It seems TO US that
the convenience Of nearly one
half Of the county should be
Of more Importance than thai
Of one country postmaster
who thinks the cancellation
will be more at a place {
nile away from the railroad
than at it. Can't we getre
lief?

tentment and joy to humanity.
But we have forgotten what He
taught, or, if we remember, fail
to practice. The Golden Rule
has fallen into desuetude and the
Beattitudes do not appeal to us.
y -
Our civilization is not builded
on Christ's teachings, and the
very system under which we live
makes it hard, if not impossible,
to be a follower of the Lowly
Nazerene. According to His
teachings, Profit, Rent, Interest
and Taxes are wrong, yet these
four things are the foundation
of our boasted civilization.
Rail at this if you will. Damn
me to your hearts content for
telling this ugly truth, but deep
down in your own soul you know
it is truth. The remedy is a COM
plete economic revolution. The
adjustment of civilization to a
state of equity. Utopian, i'm
practical and chimerical, did you
say? No, else justice and right
are meaningless terms. The
world is too selfish and cowardly
to apply truth.
u y
The new gods must go the way
Of the old Christ's doctrine OF
the Brotherhood of Man must
triumph and only Jehovah be
God. This revolution will come
through the ballot instead Of the
church. The Ishmaelitic curse
will no longer be against man
A requiem will be sung over the
grave of individualism.

Mark you, ! say new gods.
The gods Of modern civilization
are as numerous as those of me-

difference of names and signifi-

we have Money, Power, Greed,
Pride and Cunning, And no vo-
tary Of the old gods more zeal
ously served his deity than does.
humanity of to-day serve the
gods Of its passions Jehovah is
in the dim, distant background
of our Christian civilization. Our
religion is freezingly formal.

To the gods we serve we rem

god is Money brings his all to the
sacrificlal altar. TO win the fa-
vor'of this chief of our modern
gods, man tenders as a burnt

sacerdotal flames kindness, pity,
generosity, honor, love and duty.
And Involuntary his happiness
goes with them. Because the
image is stamped in gold instead
of being craven In stone make:
it no less an idol, and man bows
down to it. The god of modern
man is money-gold.
Secondary to, and a voungel
brother Of, this god is the go;
Power. The desire of man u

Wednesday night at the Brew

were banqueted by the Lockney
business men. Covers were
laid for about forty Of Lockney's
town builders, and the menu
consisted Of the seasons choicest
eatables. Every business con-
Germ in town was represented
at the festival board, and ample
justice was done to the splendid
spread prepared by Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. w. Brewster for the occas-
sion.
After supper speech making
was in order, and toasts were
responded to by the Altus peo-
pie and our business men.
Mr.. Vests and Mr.. Howe's
visit 10 Lockney this time has
for its purpose, the compiling Of

into the matter Of getting in and
out Of town. II seemed 10 be
the wish Of these men TO get as
near in as possible with depots,
which is meeting with the hearty
Of our people.
Work is about finished on the
Cap Rock, and as soon as the fig
ures are compiled Mr.. West will
leave for Chicago TO make final
arrangements to begin construc-
ton of the road.
In answer to a question, Mr.
West says: Il am quite sure that
the work will begin at Lubbock
by April LIST. " He will have all
necessary material on the ground
by that time.

FIRE At CR0SBYT0N
Seyeral Business Houses De-
stroyed Tuesday Morning In
GLIDING Citizens Bank

Information came to our town
early Tuesday morning of a
disastrous fire which occurred
in Crosbyton Tuesday morning
about one O'Clock.
The fire as we have it. or
riginated IN a restaurant. and
as a high wind was blowing
at the time the flames spread
rapidly consuming everything
in it's path.
Among the losers in this fire
was the restaurant, where the
fire originated, the Citizens Nat
ional Bank, the building occu-
pied by Simeon O'Neals gents
furnishing stock and a large
frame building near by, which
we failed TO learn who. if any
one occupied.
Mr.. O'Neal informed the Ava
lanche man that his loss was
very light as the greater por-
ton of the stock was saved with
slight damage.
All the buildings were total
loss and the contents except
the bank. The contents of the
vault will no doubt be intact. 1t
is a regretable occurance. and
something that all towns are
more or less subjected to. 1t is the
first severe loss that Crosbyton
has had.
More than likely these build /
ings will all be replaced more |
substantially thanIbefore. though .
we have not learned what steps
the owners will take in the mat /
Ter.
