The Moon A DeS0late World

The desolation of the moon is
a proverbial expression, yet how
few persons realize how bleak
and cold the moon really is.
There is no air on the moon. II
birds lived there they might sing
ever so sweetly, but their songs
would never be heard; if there
were lovely flowers on the moon
they would give no scent, be.
cause Of the absence of air.
Sir Robert Ball has said of it
1T seems probable that a
building on the moon would re
main for century after century
just as it was left by the build
ers. There need be no glass in
the windows, for there is nc
wind and no rain To keep out.
There need not be tireplaces in
the rooms, for fuel can not burn
without air. Dwellers in a lunar
city would lind that no dust
could rise, no odors be perceived
no sounds be heard "

OPPOSE COLOU|11'S
''''' REELECTION.
LaborinE People Of Terrell Meet and
Adopt Resolutions.

Terrell, Texas, May 25.-At a
mass meeting of the laboring
people of Terrell, both organized
and unorganized, held last night,
thv following resolutions were
adopted without a dissenting
vote:
We, the laboring people of
Terrell, oppose the reelection of
O. b. Colquitt as Governor of
Texas for the following reasons:
His attitude toward legislation
that would benefit labor, as
shown in his attempt to veto the
eight-hour law passed by the
Thirty First Legislature.
We look upon our free schools
as an institution of the greatest
importance to the laboring peO-
pie, and believe that the system
should be strengthened and ex
tended in every way possible;
therefore we disapprove his &C
ton in vetoing the bill passed by
the Legislature increasing the
scholastic age.
The initiative, referendum and
recall are measures that we de-
sire enacted, and Mr.. .COlquitt
bitterly opposes these measures,
as shown in his veto of the Tex
arkana charter; also in com pell-
ing the people Of his home town
of Terrell against their will to
remove these measures from
their special charter before he
would permit it to become a law.
And by these acts he repudiated
the time-honored Democratic
principle, and plank of his for
mer platform local self gov
eminent.
Therefore, for the foregoing
reasons, we believe that as Gov
ernor he has been an enemy to
the labo ring masses, and we call
upon all the laboring people of
Texas to join US in our opposition
to the reelection of O. B. Col
quit as Governor of Texas.

During the first year of Col
quits administration there was
an increase in salaries of peni-
tertiary officials to the amount
of nearly 100000 and much
more was spent to build resi-
dences to house them. Then
the surplus of $125, 900 was used
up, and in a few months the
system which has always been
more than self-sustaining, was
run in debt to the tune of over
half million dollars. So that
the people of Texas are confront
ed with the fact of having to go
in debt to keep their Grimm ais,
and if the record continues and
Colquitt remains in office we may
expect this budget alone to ex-
coed several millions. Extrava-
gance in one department means
extravaganza in every other,
and the only logical conclusion
is that Colquitt's continuation
in office will give Texas the
the highest tax rate in it's history
