A serious attempt is being made in

abolish in whole or in part the direct
primary system and return to the old
convention system. The arguments,
submitted in support of such action
are a lack of knowledge of the per-

the cry.

Phosphorous Is a cheap and suc-
cessful poison for rats.
Arsenic also Is very useful in the
antirat campaign.
Plaster of Paris is a safer poison
than either arsenic or phosphorous.
Experts agree that the only way
to get rid of the destructive rat per-
manently is to “build them out of ex-
and utilizing cement or concrete for
the construction of cellars, etc.
It might be well for the city
thorities. in drafting their new build-
ing ordinance, to confer with Dr. Mc-
Glasson, recently returned to the city
from Galveston, where he was sta-
tioned for four years as quarantine
officer, and who has made a special

the rodents in the construction of
houses.

brings death. Why not huild against

presents Hazel Dawn, the artistic lit-
tle star who recently achieved a groat
stage triumph in the title role of "The
Pink Lady." In "Ono of Our Girls"
Hazel Dawn portrays the stellar role,

ject teems with patriotic interest, and
the thrilling situations, combined with
the inspiring sacrifice of the plucky
and quick-witted American girl in be-
half of her little French cousin, fur-
nish all the elements necessary to the
successful screen drama.

For in-
stance, last November in Texas there
were but few more than 200,000 votes
cast in the general election, out of an
aggregate qualified electorate of 700.-
000. The situation was much the
same in other Southern States. The
usual criticism appeared in the North
about suppressed suffrage, when as
a matter of fact the people had made
their fight in the primary election and
they did not bother about the foregone
conclusion of the November result.
In the July primary more than
400,000 Democrats participated and
then more than half of them were
done with political activity for two
years. In November only little more
than 110,000 Republicans went to the
polln. Compare that negligible show-
ing with the election 30 years ago
when 90,000 votes were cast for
Plaine, although the population of the
State was less than half what it is
now.
And no one can tell us that the
change has improved the personnel of
nominees, because the representative
or convention system was rarely ob-
jectionable in that respect.
We must admit, of course, that the
people have indicated no general dis-
satisfaction with the direct primary.
The burden of the system falls upon
candidates. The long campaigns, the
expense and the waste of time arc
drawbacks, but the people seem to
think they are doing the thing them-
selves, whereas the politicians repre-
sented them under former conditions.
But if there is not as much corrup-
tion. manipulation and bossism now
as there ever was in the old conven-
tion days, we have failed to note the
symptoms accurately.—Houston Post

San Antonio, February 10.—Rev.
Homer T. Wilson, widely known min-
ister, lyceum lecturer and writer, died
here today. He had come to San An-
tonio fifteen years ago as a pastor
if the Central Christian Church. Dur-
ing the last ten years or so lie had
devoted most of his time to lecturing
in various parts of the South. He
was a native of' Kentucky. His first
charge in Toxas was at Dallas.
Dr. Wilson was 65 years of age,
having been born at Bardstown, Ky.,
in 1850. He was a descendant of
John Wilson of Boston and of a line
of distinguished Scotch ancestors, all
of whom were men of letters. He
became a minister of the Christian
Church as a very young man, and Ala-
bama, Mississippi and Kentucky were
the fields of his early labors.
In 1883 he came to Dallas, where
he preached for a year or more, then
t eturned to Harrodsburg, where he
remained until 1894. In which year
he went to Fort Worth as pastor of
the First Christian Church. He re-
mained in Fort Worth for ten years,
accepting a call from San An'onlo In
1903.
He was associated with the late
Senator Robert L. Taylor, George R.
Wendling. Luther Manship and other
platform orators in the time of their
greatest popularity.
He leaves, besides a wife, seven
children. Mrs. Alfred Dieckman, Mrs.
Lucille Hugo. Mrs. A. L. Curry. Dr.
Homer T. Wilson Jr., all of San An-
tonio; Mrs. Frank C. Beal of Fort
Worth, Dr. Edwin B. Wilson of Phil-
adelphia and Mrs. Talbot O. Bate-
man of Dallas. All members of the
family were with Dr. Wilson when
the end came.
Dr. Wilson will be buried at Mission
Burial Park In San Antonio at 4;
o’clock Thursday afternoon.
