BEGINNING of Nail Industry

Bulmer introduced to the world a ma.

time in building is easily to be i'm,

GOVERNOR TRAMMELL'S ATTI-
tube ON NATIONAL PROHIBITION

with the announcement by Governor
Trammell candidate for the United
States Senate, that he is in favsr of
national prohibition and wants an
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton to that end submitted to the
people. The Herald says:
The Democratic party has not
spoken on the question OF national
prohibition, and until it does can
didate for a national office from this
State is hardly justified in settling
so important matter for his party.
1t may be just possible that declar>
alton of the kind made by the gov
ernCr will be quite contrary to any
doctrine enunciated by the coming
Democratic convention, and he may
just possibly find himself outside of
the pale of the party if he espouses
cause condemned by the party.
1t will doubtless be news to the
governor that in making his declara
tion he is settling so important
matter for his party" or that he was
dolnG anything more than express
ing his personal views on a great
public issue which becomes more in
sistent every day and about which
it is very likely that every American
voter will have to express an opinion
before many months have passed.
Party platforms are not like the
DecalCgue, perfect from the start
and not susceptible of Improvement.
They are of purely human origin
and are frequently altered and
amended to meet CLEANSING human
conditions. They represent the crys-
talized sentiment of the party on
public issues, and it is before they
are written that the sentiment must
be made which they express. 1t is
not only the right, but it is really
the duty of our public men to speak
out Oh these questions in advance
of the party declarations, for, unless
they do so, that impalpable thing
called public sentiment will remain
in a state of weak and ineffective
fermentation and there will be nc
precipitation, as the chemists cal
it, necessary to definite result
How are we to know what the PEG
pie thing about questions that mus
take form in party platforms respon
sive to their convictions and wishes
unless such questions are discussed
and expressed before the party con
ventions assemble?
Governor Trammell has not at
tempted to settle the national pro
choice of any one but himself. an,
in view of his candidacy and of tn
further fact that the issue is al
ready an exceedingly live one il
Congress and he may be called on t
vote upon it if he should be elected
it seems to us that his declaration
ways appropriate.
A further excerpt from the Her
add; article, which seems to mega
tive the one quoted above, is as fol
lows, and we endorse it as yer,
proper view of Governor Trammell'
attitude:
''As candidate for office or as
private citizen, the governor is en-
titlei to his opinion on any Ques
tiOn about which the people of tn,
State or the nation may be con
cerncd. His is the right, also. t
adopt for himself any platform oil
position that he may think will wiz
him votes in the coming campaign
That is probably all very legiti.
mate"

The overlapping game to Skin
suckers has been exposed a thou

Hence we have no sympathy to waste
on the Texas stockman who lost
100000 to the wire-tappers in Chi

woe is told in today's dispatches
The moral from such episodes is:
Read the newspapers if you want to
get out of the sucker class. Also,
good brother, never buy a gold brick
