Royal See Done is the victim OF
circumstance, since it happens that he
is the only railroad commissioner
whose term expires next year. Be-
cause of the possibility that he will
be candidate again he is bearing

at the commission. The voters will
tend to the present members of the
commission as fast as they can get a
shot at them.-Taylor Herald.
It's the Stars opinion that if the
voters will elect a good man on the
commission next year, that he will
have the cordial and efficient help of

will retire Gar Burr in 1918, the
state will have a good commission.
