a BOUT three months ago our fellow
n townsman, Hon c. c. Mcdonald
who by the way is a talented
orator, started the ball rolling with the
state executive committee to have the
Democratic convention held in Ell Paso
this year.
When 1t comes to the welfare of the
whole community, we have no fractional
lines in the Democracy of FL Paso county.
Therefore, all OF Us wish Mcdonald luck,
and every one Of US viii give him the
glad hand of congratulation if he wins
the convention.
Of course, AlcDonald's good fortune in
one way would be his bad luck in an
other; because it Is going to be a Bail,
and not a Ferguson, convention. Nc
Donald Is right in trying TO get the
convention for FL Paso, but he Is all
wrong in being for Ferguson.
It viii be a good thing for FL Paso,
and a splendid thing for the Democrats
of Texas, TO have the convention here,
for many reasons. The following one
reason Is sufficient:
The Boehmer bill-that Is, the prin-
ciple covered by it-presents the most
essential reform in the interest Of good
government in Texas.
Col Ball. who VIII be declared the
nominee for governor in that convention,
has said that he favors law along the
lines OF the Boehmer bill
It viii be appropriate for the con-
vention to adopt a proper platform
declaration upon this subject.
FL Psso is the proper place for that
declaration to be adopted.
Here Is the most rapidly growing city
Of Texas; a city of vast and splendid
possibilities; a city that is great in spite
Of the rotten and corrupt mass Of votes
existing here.
But FL PasO viii become much greater
when her politics become lawful and
clean.
Therefore, If there should be any
doubt upon the subject, in the minds of
any of the delegates, we would have
them here on the grOund-tO show them.
What a pity it is that Ferguson, in
his blind partnership with liquor in
terests, should favor, or at least not
oppose, the rotten voting system Of the
border.
It IS true that Ferguson is to receive

that is eating the cake. You viii

you look very closely OF course you

10 90 after a mouse
From the time the Tabby children
were tiny kitty babies, Mrs. Tabby
had taught them how 10 catch mice.
in fact the first part Of their educa-
ton was nothing else They were
taught TO sit for hours in front Of
mouse hole without a word They
knew Just what kind OF a mouse
or rat lived in certain places. and were
taught TO never tackle anything that
was as Dig as they were
Tessie and Tom and Binkie were
pretty good mouse catchers- Tom and
Jessie were the best. Blnkle was apt
10 go TO sleep and forget all about tho
mouse, but poor IOIue Just simply
could not catch any. She either forgot
what she was expected TO do or got so
excited that the mouse got away. or
became frightened herself The real
truth about il was that TOttie was in
clined 10 be very fussy. She did not
like TO get herself all mussed up
There is a little mouse around here

Tom one day i have seen him OF his
shadow two or three times, but he IS
sure where he lives
Il have seen him. too said Mrs
Tabby- You have bright eyes. Tom"
she continued. Nov I will let the
kitty girl or boy who catches him have
whole holiday"
Well. then" said Tom. putting out
his chest, the holiday is mine for I
am the best mOuser YOU have, mother"
oh I don't know about that" broke
in Binkie- I am pretty good myself
when I get started" Yes" replied
Tom instantly. but the trouble is that
you never get started"
Now don't quarrel children saids
Mrs. Tabby. You all have an equal
chance. Perhaps TOttfe will catch
Tottie made up her mind to do her
best
She got her chance sooner than she
had expected
Late that afternoon when every
thing was quiet and the rest OF the
children were taking their maps, Tot
tie slipped down stairs She remem-
bered that the big cake that had Just
been baked was on the table and she
thought that perhaps it might coax
Mr.. Mouse out.
Sure enough there he was. almost
buried in the cake and eating as fast
as he could. ShS Began to tremble. but
