CULBERSON, CAMPBELL AND
BROOKS.

Now that Senator Culberson is in
Texas the politicians are specializing.
They are asking if he will be candi-
date to succeed himself. George
Robinson, in the role of prophet, pre-
diets that the only opponent Culber-
son will have from Waco will be
Samuel Palmer Brooks and that
Thomas NJ. Campbell will be afraid
to offend the Culberson sentiment in
the State, "a sentiment that is quite
strong over East Texas, created by
Old Dave and inherited by Charlie"
Congressman Robert Lee Henry has
ever been very close 10 Senator Gull
berson. Our Bob is a product of
East Texas. He grew to manhood at
Texarkana, and Senator Culberson
gave him his first start in political life.
Thomas NJ. Campbell has never been
close to Senator Culberson. They
speak when they pass by, and that's
about all. The keeper of the record
predicts that Thomas NJ. Campbell will
be a candidate for United States Sena-
tor regardless OF the Culberson senti-
ment in the State. The sage of Pal
estine is an ambitious man. He be.
lieves that he would shine in the Sen
ate. He is a rich man-and a rich
man can afford to make the race
Hugh Nugent Fitzgerald in Fort Worth
Record.
We have not said that Campbell
would not run against Culberson, but
that he has been holding back in the
hope that Charley would announce
himself out of the running. We fee
quite sure that Campbell will be il
the race, as will also Brooks Oul
Bob has got his consent to run, bu
he is proceeding, we feel quite sure
on the assumption that Culberson will
not be in the race. Fortunately, ma

known as the Fox of the House. He
was Speaker when Thomas NJ. Camp
bell was Governor, and he was dubbed
out of the Speakers chair because he
was in the way of the political
schemes of men who were more power
full than the man who welded the
gavel. Kennedy has his faults. He
has his virtues. He has his friends
He has his enemies. Men without
enemies may be worth the while. but
the writer doubts it. Kennedy was
member of the Thirty-third Legis.
lature, and ever at his post. He is the
best parliamentarian in Texas, the
shrewdest floor leader and the most
resourceful. In letter to the keeper
of the record Mr.. Kennedy says; The
year Just closed has been one OF the
happiest OF my life and wish to thank
you for contributing so much to 1t by
your kindness and courtesy to me. |
sincerely trusts that the New Year
dawns bright for you and that every
thing your heart desires will come

Kennedy was secretary of the State
Executive Committee OF the Demo
cratic party when ]. Walter Blake was
its chairman. He has ever been on
the firing line as a fighting Democrat
since he attained his majority He
gave his time and his money to adj
vance the political fortunes of others
and right or wrong he stuck to his
friends. II he had devoted all his
time TO the newspaper business he
would have been a financial success.
He didn't and he is not financial
success. But he has friends from
boundary line to boundary line who
love him despite the enemies he has
made. He is one OF the gamest fight
ers under the Lone Star skies and he
never forgets. A good Indian pays his
debts. He never forgets kindness
nor a wrong. Kennedy is a good In
dian. May his health be fully re-
stored and prosperity come to him in
the newspaper game! The game of
politics is a fascinating game, but 1t
is a costly one. 1t is like the gambling
spirit, it gets in the blood and sets ii

ACCIDENTS ON GOLF LINKS
Easy to Avoid, and Experts VIII Not
Need the Advice Here Ten
dcred.

The Journal of the American
Medical association calls attention to
accidents that frequently occur dur
ing the play of the ancient and hon.
orable game of golf. Don't look
back on the golf field. When "fore"
is called look the other way and lean
forward, as it is less dangerous to
be hit on any other part of the body
than the head. A frequent source of
eye accidents on the golf field is the
reckless swinging of clubs in max
ing practice shots when near other
players. Such practice should be
confined to remote places where
there will be no injury to others.
Eyes are frequently injured by being
struck with foreign bodies, such as
sand and gravel flying off the end of
club. "Within the last two OF
three years" says the Journal, "quite
number of serious accidents have
occurred from the opening of golf
balls to ascertain their contents.
Most balls contain no fluid, but
there are balls wherein will be
found acids, held there under high
pressure, so that when opened by a
knife, hatchet or what not, the acid
sqliirts out. Not infrequently, the
eyes and face have been severely
burned. The acid is supposed to give
the ball greater resiliency and carry
ing power, but its use is dangerous.
Do not cut open golf balls, to see
what they are made of, or for any
other reason"
