DEMOCRATIC DUTY

litical contest for President died
away until there seems to rise from
various quarters the question as to
whether President Wilson should
promptly and fully carry out the
pledges of the Baltimore Platform.
The suggestion of such question has
come as a great surprise to The GA
zETTE and would not be considered
worth noticing except for the fact
that Democratic papers here and
there in the most unaccOuntable
way, indicating some widespread
influence, are making such covert
suggestions as that there should be
no extra session OF Congress prompt |
~ after the inauguration OF Presi- |
dent Wilson TO reduce tariff, etc. !
that a reduction of tariff will cause
business depression; that Mr.. VIII
son should pay no attention to ad-
vice or urgings Of the great CON-
moner, William Jennings Bryan, in
the discharge OF his duties, al
though it is we'll known that Mr..
Bryan's influence, and perhaps his
pen, produced the winning Balti-
more Platform.
If we did not have before US the
history OF the embarrassment and
comparative failure OF President
Cleveland's administration, caused
by such Influences, we might feel
that this anomalous effort could be
ignored, but just such influences so
emasculated the Wilson Bill that
Mr.. Cleveland charged perfdy and
dishOnor. THE GAZETTE believes
that unless the Democratic Platform
is earnestly and frankly carried out
and that the people believe that en-
tire honesty is behind the purpose o.
the Democratic Party, the recent
victory will be followed four years
hence by as great a slaughter, anC
Colonel Roosevelt will run agar
and sweep the country. The only
hope of the Democratic Party now i.
to hold the peoples confidence ant
trust, and if the protected interests
North or South, whether Republi
can or still nominally Democratic
"ham-string" President Wilson o
the Democratic Congress, the Den
ocratic Party will go down to defes

The people are not to be trifle
with. The special interests vel

politicians or by the special inte

IMPORTANT DECISION AT T0RNEYS CAUST|C
In Arguments Made in a
Damage Case.

Attorneys in the road case in which
Adam Howard. is asking $1,1O0 dam
ages for the proposed condemnation Of
land through his farm in Clay town
ship. INDUCED in acrimony when max
ing their final arguments before the
jury this afternoon in the Wayne cir
cult court Several caustic statements
were made by the attorneys.
The case has been one of note from
the standpoint of the expense incurr-
ed The total cost exclusive of attor-
neys' fees will be more than 5000. The
case opened last Monday and it re-
quired five days to complete the evil
dence.
Several years ago the same case
was heard before jury in the Wayne
circuit court and at that time Howard
was awarded $500 damages but the
commissioners refused to order the
construction of the road.
The board of reviewers recently al
lowed Howard $45 damages and after
futile attempts to settle the case in
the commissioners court it was ap-
pealed to the circuit court. 1t is expect
ed verdict will be reached late this
afternoon or evening.

A LIGHT ATTENDANCE
At Public Schools the Past
Four Weeks,

A marked increase in the amount of
sickness among school children is the
principal feature of the report for the
last four weeks work in the public
schools. just issued today by Superin-
tendent T. A. Mott. With a total en-
rollment of 1914, an increase of thir-
ty-five in the four weeks covered by
the report, the attendance was but
1922 per cent, at least six per cent
less than in the preceding month.
In the four weeks, 2,725 days were
lost on account Of sickness, which,
rating pupils work at SO cents per
day, means a loss of over $1,000 to
the community in this brief time. In
addition to the big absence list, 467
cases of hardness resulted in the I'M
necessary loss of 1854 minutes in the
schools. There were eleven truancies
in the month, and corporal punish
ment was resorted to in five cases.
School officials are now preparing
for the closing of the first half Of the
year, as there are but two weeks
more in the present semester.

Hon. B. A. Packard of Douglas and MT. Kibbey, of the Alamo Cattle Company, were in the city Thursday of this week for the purpose of appearing before the special appraisement board of U $. customs officials, at the custom house. The purpose of the meeting was to determine the justness of a complaint made to the customs department by Mir. Packard and other cattle men who have cattle in Sonora, and who crossed them over the line at this port of entry last October. At that time the ap- praisement of cattle for import was complained of as being too high, and the duty was paid under protest, which gave the cattlemen the right to have the matter taken up by the depart ment for special investigation. A number of witnesses were heard and the cattlemen hope to get a favorable decision at an early date.
