WILL THE PARTY SPLIT?

The Galveston News says the elimi
nation movement will work the divi.
sion of the Democratic party in Texas
and create a new party. The ants
are forced to eliminate or surrender
and thereby the July primary instead
of being a primary is in fact an cleo
ton. The News thinks the division
will result in good for the State and
the people, and on this point says:
Texas has long needed competi-
tive political system. Political mon
opoly has all the baneful consequences
of industrial monopoly. Now we are
to have political competition in Texas.
The prohibitionists, to realize their
desire for Statewide and Nationwide

TWO GOOD STORIES.
A Question Of Age.

No one, looking AT the President
Cabinet en- masse, would give it credit
for uttering the words of wit accredit.
ed to it.
Even the Secretary of Agriculture
has a slender joke attributed to him.
A little girl, believing that the Sec.
rotary of Agriculture must be versed
in the lore of the forests, asked him
one day, indicating a huge tree:
did somebody tell me right when
he said that that tree was the very
Oldest one around here?"
Yes, my dear; that is quite true"
But how can it be-" persisted the
child. That isn't an oak, and they
used to tell me that the oaks were
the very oldest trees anywhere"
The Secretary saw himself lettering
on the precipice of self-betrayal, so
he ended further questioning by say
ing:
yes, that's So too. The oaks really
used to be the Oldest. But, you see,
hat was before the elders were plant
ed. "-Neale's Monthly.

Billy Sunday, the alleged reformed
cowboy preacher, is getting rich on
the gospel Wonder what Christ would
say about such business as this were
he to come to earth again ?-Brenham
Banner-Press.
1t depends altogether on what Billy
Sunday is doing with his money. If
he is educating poor but deserving
boys and girls, giving to the poor and
needy, supporting the orphans homes,
to the widows and the
in their affliction. we be-
lieve Jesus would say, well done.
thou good and faithful servant" If
he is boarding it up for Billy Sunday,
we believe the scene in the temple
would be repeated.

SORRY POLITICIANS"

We had just commenced thinking
that Texas was out of the hands of
the sorry politicians when the results

recent days" etc. If YOU have refer
ence TO the recent selections by the
pro wing of the Democratic party at
Fort Worth. then you are certainly do
ing yourself an injustice, because the
standard bearer is anything but a
sorry politician" Also, the writer
was an interested spectator of the pro.
ceedings as held in the Baptist Church
upon the above occasion, and he is
free to admit that he never saw
more harmonious body of men assem-
bled at one time or heard as little
from the usual peanut politician. The
fact is, he was not in evidence in any
capacity. However much the ants
may differ in their beliefs they will
be forced to hand it to the pros that
for once the real men of that wing
of the State politics held the stage
throughout the proceedings. 1t was
indeed representative gathering and
very little bitter talk was INDUCED. |
The pros are going to give the ants ,
something to think about every hour .
of the day from now until election

BEGIN SURVEY FOR RAILROAD.

Brownsville, Tex, Feb. pa corps
.of surveyors began yesterday at this
place the surveying of the proposed
railroad between this point and La.

miles. 1t is expected that within ten
days they will have completed their
task, after which time the purchasing
of material for the line will begin and
other arrangements made for early
construction of the new road. 1t is
estimated the project will cost $500.

comparative efficiency is that of the
price. policy d such large industrial
combinations as have achieved SUBJ
stantial control of the market. Those
who allege that such industrial enter
prises result in greater economy and
efficiency in production often over
look the equally important question
whether or not they absorb all the ben.
efits of such economies in increased
profits without conceding any share
thereof to, labor in higher wages. or
to consumers in relatively lower prices
or improved quality of goods, etc. The
determination of the facts in respect
to this question also might not be such
as to establish broad congratulations
or conclusions, but the Importance of
having the facts is none the less oh.
vious."

ceive to be amiss. So must the anti.
prohibitionists. Thus the States af.
fairs will be subjected to more critl
cal study than they have heretofore
had, and the party which wins and
thus gets power will be more sensible
of the responsibility which goes with
power than the Democratic party has
been. Reluctantly, and perhaps in a
measure unwittingly, the prohibition
lists have rendered the state service
by dividing the Democratic party of
Texas into two parties"

LESSONS BY TITANIC SINKING.

London, England, Feb. 2G.-The new
White Star liner Britannia will be
launched today, three years and three
months having been spent in her con.
struction. This is more than a year
longer than the time required for the
building of the Olympic. The delay
was due largely to the alterations
made necessary by the sinking of the
Titanic. The chief improvement is
the inner shell. Three feet divide the
inner skin from the outer shell, while
the plating Of the inner skin has been
caulked, SOFAS to make it watertight.
internally the vessel will be big i'm
provement on the Olympic. She has
300 first cabins with bath.
