DO WE CARE?

People who are disposed to find fault
If American citizenship, in the exercise
Of the voting franchise, charge that in
our elections we pass great issues by
with Indifference and become absurdly
excited and absurdly anxious over small
issues: that we have out the band ano
burn red fire over the election OF some
man TO fill some unimportant municipal
office and neglect really big issues. They
say we have 40 sense Of proportion, and
appear to be unable to discriminate be
tween the essentially important and alb
surdlv trivial,
AS a patriotic American citizen The
Herald is disposed to resent chargf
like that and yet. Well we won't admit
it anyhow.
Still, We are wondering whether any
one in this community is going to become
in the election to be held
July 19. This will be an election to de
eide whether we shall adopt or reject
certain amendments to the constitu
ton.
First and last, in newspaper articles.
in stump speeches. and in private con
versation we have a good deal to say
about the constitution.
TO hear the average American citizen
talk, az even to watch him while he
listens to some able Stumpspcakcr talk,
Il stranger might be expected to say
something like this: The constitution
: the great American fetish. As the
caaha to Mohammcd as the totem pole
y the Indian. as the hoodoo bag
negro, 50 Is the constitution to the Am
erican. He uses it TO work spells with
Wei, on July nineteenth we shall be
confronted with 4 proposition to make
some changes to this 50 dear constitu-
ton. Let rs remember this is the only
constitution we have, here in Texas.
viii these proposed changes help it. or
viii they hurt it? Will it be Il better
constitutions or worse. if the amend
mentS 90 through? DO we care enough
for the constitution ID give the matter
any time r attention. DO we care enough
fer the constitution To 90 to the poles and
express our opinion by our ballots
when il is proposed To improve it. and
Judge Nj the merits of the improvements
for ourselves?

CLEARLY EXPLAINED.

While we are on the subject Of Con-

enough to call attention to the article

Of the proposed changes. \ careful

Slaying the Dogs

The city has taken up a job at
tempted not long ago by arecent
arrival in the city and is putting
an end to undesirable, or at least
unlicensed and untagged dogs.
Edgar Tisdale, the city marshal,
accompanied by Tom Dick, color
ed, have been out for several
days with rifles looking for the
pups that have no right to furth-
er existance. The reported 63
dogs killed Monday, a good
show and as a matter of fact,
the ours have proven to be
beautifully less. They get one
dollar per head for snuffing out
the canine lives. It isa good
work.

How frequently people hear
the expression i've got a cipder
in my eye" especially when the
air is filed with dust and smoke
Or about a railroad.
It may seem a trivial mishap
and often iss if the foreign
subsistence is Immediately remov-
ed from the eye, yet it is often q
most serious thing, and the pub
lie at large little realizes that a
a seemingly unimportant acci-
dent of this sort may result in
serious if not permanent impair
ment Of vision. The membrane
covering the eyeball is a very
delicate structure, and when
even a tiny speck of any foreign
matter lodges on it, quickly be-
comes imbedded. The irritation
thus set up causes the person to
wink the eye frequently, and
each time the lid closes, rubbing
against the particle, it tends to
imbed it still further in the mem
brane. The efforts Of sympa-
thizing friends to remove the Of
Tending speck with handker-
chief or with a wooden tooth
pick instead Of helping, some
times results in making a bad
matter worse; more damage can
thus be done to the tissue. In
lection is then easily carried
deeper into the tissue and ulcer
results. II the process reaches
this stage, even if the particle
is completely removed, 1t would
perhaps be too late to prevent .
scar after the ulcer heals. 1t
might be SO faint that it is hard
ly distiDguishable, yet it is
situated just in front of the
pupil, and as very frequently
happens, the vision of that eye
would be seriously if not per.
manently impaired. In order
that you understand the serious
ness of such occurrences, we cal
your attention to it and recon-.
mend that you do not triie with
seemingly so unimportant q
matter.

Illinois Going Dry

1t looks like Illinois, outside
possibly the largest cities, Peoria
and Chicago, viii be dry soon,
theoretically at least unless
something serious happens to
the law that gave women the
right to vote on the local option
question. The legislature gave
the women the right to vote and
in the last month or SO, Boards
town. Jacksonville and other
towns Of from 5000 to $1,000
population have gone dry
without exception. 1t looks like
the licensed saloon is in peril in
Illinois unless the attempt to
have the law enfranchising the
women declared invalid by the
higher courts, which was being
made, succeeds. The vets are
depressed and the drys are cor
respondingly elated.

MuzzIe the Horses

The danger lurking in dry
corn fodder this year has caused
the death of many horses that
partook Of the dry feed. Over
in the edge of Grundy county
last Friday C. G. Collins lost
two valuable horses that had
eaten of the fodder while the
farmer was gathering corn.
another team also in the same
field also took sick and their
condition was serious for a time.
Many similar cases have been
reported, from various sections
of North Missouri and as a pre-
cantionary measure it would be
we'll enough to muyzle the horses
while gathering corn. Corn that
has been cut and shocked and
cured in this manner, is said ia
be free from the deadly poision
that turks in the standing stalks.
