Leaving out of consideration the
fact that the Hon Jake VOTERS
jumped into prominence from plat
form erected by the brewers, liquor
dealers and white aproned gentry
dependent upon those industries for
the means to pilfer homes and pros
titute honor. democracy should not
lose sight of the fact that this seek
er after senatorial honors at the
hands of democratic state stands
for those things against which de-
mocraey has openly declared, AS
has been fittingly suggested Mr..
Wolters is running in this campaign
on fine republican platform, and
the first thunder emitted by him
was a quotation from republican
handbook and contrary to facts We
have known Jake for many years
and feel that he is entitled to much
praise for his accomplishments, but
saying this does not commit us to
the declaration that he is sufficient
" sound in his doctrine to satisfac-
torily serve the interests of demo-
cratic state in the United States
senate When you are inclined to
permit prejudice to overthrow rea
son stop and remember that we are
choosing a successor to no less an
able man than Joseph w. Bailey, |
therefore let us not make of the
matter a joke We may have belit-
tied the junior senator, but feel sure
that at no time have We so lightly
him as to find in such u
candidate a fit successor.

Rex Beach's masterpiece, "The

The stage version of the book ranks
as the most accurate exponent of

Being unacquainted with the facts
connected with that Fort Worth

any comment for the future, but We
would like to know whether there is
any connection between this indict-
ment and the recent several at
tempts upon the life of this preach
er. or whether those uplifting agen-
eies which have sought to destroy
he church property over which Rev.
Norris exercises control are in any
way responsible for this attempt at

MAKE FINE SHOWING

posits Amounting to Over Two
Million Dollars.

amounting ~ oNSE = W.
Million Dollars
Despite the drouth which resulted
in almost complete failure in all
feed crops last year and making 1t
necessary for the farmers of Ellis
county to spend thousands of dol
| lars for feed to tide them over this
4 year the last bank statements show
i that the vaults are almost bursting
with cash. There are two national
| banks and one state bank In Waxa-
hachie. The last reports, which were
printed a few days ago, show that
the combined individual deposits of
these three institutions amount to
the handsome sum of $2,132 ,363.03
This is regarded as a most excellent
showing when the failure of the
feed crops and the decline in the
price of cotton early last season are
taken into consideration.
There are three national banks at
Ennis and the latest reports of
these show = individual deposits
amounting to s795. 4o6.5S. The de-
posts in the Waxahachie banks as
compared with the Ennis banks are
nearly three times greater. The to-
tai deposits of the two towns
amount to s2,927,769.61.
