Everybody go to Church.
Eagle Pass and C. P. Diaz are
now enjoying services at the var-
ious churches. For some time
the Episcopalians and Baptists
were without a minister, and
Rev. Cross, of the Methodist
church, was working overtime
ministering to the spiritual wel-
fare of the good people of this
border. On last Sunday, for the
first time in more than a year,
services were held at all of the
churches.
Rev. Insley preached a good
sermon at the Church of the Re-
deemer, and his initial service
was greatly appreciated. Rev.
Insley is a young man, well in-
formed, of pleasing personality,
and doubtless will do much good
in this field.
Rev. Nichols, the new pastor
of the Baptist church also preach-
ed a good sermon to a good sized
congregation. Mr. Nichols is a
forceful talker, logical, and of
pleasing address. The Baptist
congregation is to be congratul-
ated upon securing him for their
regular pastor.
Rev. Cross preached his usual
good sermons at the Methodist
church and continues to hold his
hearers by his clean, logical
arguments.
The usual services were held
at the Cathplic church and the
good work they are doing con-
tinues to bear fruit.
No one need “go bad” now for
lack of spiritual attention. All
you have to do is to select the
most palatable Brand and pro-
ceed to enjoy life, and spread
sunshine and cheerfulness—for
no one can be “good” without
making others feel better, too.
Political Unity in Texas.
The Democratic state ticket,
just about to go to press, is an
exemplification of the lack of
harmony in the Democratic camp.
The list of candidates is said to
be the longest ever put before
the voters of the state, contain-
ing no less than 30 names for 11
offices. There are five Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidates
in the field; others are : Lieuten-
ant-governor, 5; attorney-gener-
al, 1, comptroller, 5; land com-
missioner, 2; state treasurer, 2;
railroad commissioner, 4; super-
intendent pf instruction, 1; com-
missioner of agriculture, 1; judge
of the court of criminal appeals,
3; associate justice of the supreme
court, 1.

CANDIDATES FOR THHiGisijiM
MAKE THEIR _______KNOWN
Last week Mr. A. M. Turney, of Alpine, candidate for re-elec-
tion to the legislature of Texas from this district, published in
these columns his “platform.” Mr. Jas. F. Ross, of Pecos, is also
a candidate for the same job, and this week he sends his “plat-
form” to the people. On the subject of prohibition and submis-
sion, two of the leading issues to be acted upon by the next legis-
lature, we publish below what each candidate has to say in regard
to their position on these important questions:
on prohibition and anti-prohibi-
tion, .submission and re-submis-
sion and the Bailey issue.

Mr. Ross’ Statement.
PROHIBITION
In common with all our people,
you are vitally interested in these
issues. It may be urged that
they have no place in a political
campaign. But the fact remains
that they are there. The next
Legislature must deal with them.
Your representative should pos-
sess the qualities of mind and
heart that fit him to press with
intelligence and courage your
claims in these and all matters
of legislation. The importance
and dignity of their territory and
resources demand this. The
Legislature is the arena in which"
is waged the struggle for that
practical recognition which builds
up some portions of a State over
others. Hence, I maintain that
office-holding is dignified and
honorable only as it affords op-
portunity for useful public ser-
vice.
If I represent you in the next
Legislature, I shall vote to sub-
mit to the people a Constitutional
Amendment suppressing the
| liquor traffic throughout the
State. I shall do so for the fol-
lowing reasons:
(1.) Because I believe the
liquor traffic should be suppress-
ed.
(2.) Because the Democracy of
the State by their ballots and
through their platform, have de-
manded that such an amendment
be submitted.
(3.) Because to submit the
amendment will secure—and
nothing else will do so—the elim-
ination from politics of an issue
which is more moral and ethical
than economic in its nature, and
which remains in politics to im-
pede fhe solution of problems
that affect more intimately our
social and industrial welfare.
I hold the liquor traffic the
curse of the ages. It has blast-
ed, as with the breath of hell,
the flowers and fruits of hearth
and home; made havoc of im
mortal genius that but for it had
remained to bless the race, mar-
ring with appalling woes the
noblist civilization of which
history has given a record. The
scourge of the past and the ter-
ror ,of the future, it is a menace
to every form of progress and a
leaden weight upon the symme-
trical development of our great
Commonwealth.
SUBMISSION
But I cannot concede your
right to oppose the submis-
sion of the Amendment to the
people, and still style yourself a i
Democrat As a Republican you
may oppose submission with some
show of reason, for the Republi-
can State Platform of 1908 de-
clared against submission. But
we are Democrats. Hence, the
refusal of the Thirty-first Legis-
lature to accede to the demand
of the people, expressed at the
1 ballot box in July, 1908, and
solemnly reiterated in our State
platform of that year, was not
only a betrayal of trust, but a
political blunder of colossal pro-
portions. Did political alignment
make for anything like an equal
division of party strength, the
Democracy had been swept from
power as the penalty of infidelity
to plighted word. The political i
history of the country records no I
more brazen disregard of the
popular will. I envy no man
his part in that' instance of huge
malfeasance in office, nor be-
grudge him whatever of com-
fort he gets from the knowledge
that others proved as recreant as
he. The will of the people is the
supreme law*** I challenge you
to dispute our right to vote upon
the Constitutional Amendment.

M. I. is in Merger.
City of Mexico, June 8.—An-
nouncement was made here to-
day that on July 1 the Mexican
International Railway from C.
P. Diaz to Durango, through
Torreon, with a branch from
Monclova to "Monterey, would
become a part of thfe merger sys-
tem, the National Railways of
Mexico. Though this line has
been operated by the merger
system for more than a year, it
has in fact remained an indepen-
dent company. On July 1 that
company becomes a part of the
National Railways of Mexico com-
pany, the holding company
through which three other lines
now operate. The Interoceanic
also will later, it is understood,
become an actual unit of the
merger. That company, also,
las been operated by the Na-
tional Railways of Mexico, but
has remained an independent
company to date.

Mexico to Own Pullmans.
According to a persistent ru-
mor, said to emanate from relia-
ble quarters, the National Rail-
ways of Mexico will in the near
future acquire and operate their
own sleepers. Whether the
change proposed is due to diffi-
culties with the Pullman company
cannot be said. The policy of
the National Lines in the owner-
ship and management of which
the Mexican government is the
chief factor, is thorough Mexi-
canization of every department
and the operation of their own
sleepers may be merely an out-
growth ot this. On the Veracruz
Mexico system, sleepers owned
by the railroad company have
been in operation for some time.
