POLITICS—A RIDDLE.
Politics is a riddle that is hard to
solve. Today we laud a politician
next week, (or next year) we “swat”
him. Today he is the personification
of all that is good and nil that is de-
d Hired in the public'service, but just let
/ him come out against one of ottr “pet”
^hMsasures or against our map, and he
is so “creokeA he couldn’t sleep in a
it goqs; tile
an* pi today
demagogues”
and “scoundrels”' of tomorrow. The
political agitator, as a rule, can see
nottiing good in those whom he op-
poses and nothing bad ,in theme whom
he supports, and is prepared to teach
it either “round or flat” (just as it
suits his pleasure) as to a candidate’s
Ataess for ofltce. From time iinmem-
orial there has been an element of un-
|jjfai'iinsii in politics, whjch seems to
he growing worse from- year to year.
There are so many tricks and turns
are “taken in” and led to support men
false Issues and wrong impres-
That we need more laws governing
politics, becomes^njore \ evident each
election. One of the greatest peed*
towards purifying politics, in our op-
inion, is a law to compel every man or
political organization sending out po-
litical matter, either through the News-
papers or by circulars or letters, to
pot a signature to the instrument sent
Mt, in order that the public may
know fri>m what source it emnates.
People tyave quit taking medicine un-
less it is prescribed by a physician
-they have confidence in, or the bottle
haw the formula on it; then why should
they poison their minds with “politi-
es! dope,” made-to-order in some can-
didate’s headquarters, accepting the
statements printed in circular or let-
/ ter as being absolutely true, when they
con’t even know from whence it came
or who is responsible for the state-
made. We have seen so much
in politics that we have
about gotten to the point where
hateve
itbeai
tare, showing who is responsible, for
it, and the sooner we have a law to
mempel such signatures the better for
those who believe in good government
end fair play.
we pay no attention whatever to a poli-
ical document, unless it bears a signa-
Texas has made fine grain crops;
!s many sections the wheat and oats
have been the best for years. Much
hay and forage crops have been saved.
The corn and cotton are promising
enough. Just now we are having
acme very hot weather and a good
very acceptable.
The primary has passed by and the
down to local
i-swwMAsnu. , The crops will soon be ready
to move,* and then comes the Thanks-
giving time and the Christmas holt-
days—it’s just one thing after another.

DEFEATED ONES, CHEER UP.
The battle of ballots has been fought
and the people of Texas have named
their officers from Constable to Gov-
ernor for the next two years. Many
hearts have been made glad by the re-
turns, while many, many candidates
have turned away from the score-board
with wounded pride and blasted hopes.
With some defeat only means a post-
ponement of a call to public duty;
while with others, it was their time
to win, and defeat throws a damper
on their careers as public men, the
logic of sound‘reason pointing them
back to the walks of private life, at
least for a time. This is indeed sad,
and in some cases seems hard; but
politics, like war, has its victories and
defeats, and the brave soldier in- eith-
er cause, accepts defeat as one of
the inevitable results of contest, meet-
ing the hardships imposed in a manly
manner. The defeated candidate
should dispel from his heart all envy
and malice for his fellowman and so
conduct himself that no man will be
able to point to him and say, “I told
>ou he was not made of the right kind
ef stuff, and he is now exemplifying
the fact that we made no mistake in
declining to conscript him into the
public service.” --
It’s a long lane that never turns,”
and there are many changes in poli-
ties and public sentiment, and we
wish to say to the defeated candidate:
It matters not how blue-your political
future piay lock, remember, the “sil-
vyr lining" may appear on your hori-
zon with the coming of another elec-
tion and the clouds of defeat may be
dispelled by the sunlight of triumph-
ant victory. Be true to yourself; fair
and forgiving towards those who op-
posed you, or merely favored your op-
ponent;, live worthily of the respect
Melons and peaches' are no object
in Texas now. Fine melons averag-
ing 28 pounds are being offered by

Secretary of War Knox has officially

Earl B. Mayfield, candidate for rail-
road commissioner, has given notice
that he was fairly nominated. He says
that an effort is being jnade to count*
1.1m out and that the opposition has
wired to El Paso and other .border
counties for more votes. This call has
election, rolls around you may be thef been answered, “not to worry, &a fifty

would do the proper thing.’

The wants and necessities of the
public are many. If you have anything
needful to sell, put it in good condi-
tion, advertise it and the buyer will

THE ELECTION.
The election passed off quietly here
Saturday and a light vote was polled
over the county. We have a voting
strength of about 5,000, and fully ex-
pected there would, be 4,000 vdtes in
the primary, but it is estimated that
i ot more than 3,500 votes were polled.
Owing to the unprecedented length
of the ticket the count was very slow
and scarcely half the boxes reported
Saturday night. Unofficial returns
have been cbming in all week, but
no reliable report can be made of the
vote over the county until the official
count, which will be held tomorrow.
Inasmuch as the complete vote can-
not be- had this week we will only give
a list^of those who seem to be elected
fi-om the returns sent in up to date,
and will publish the full official re-
turns in our next issue.

ROUGH ON THE MAYOR.
The newly elected mayor was about
to make hs first journey through the
town in his official capacity. The peo-

flowers, under which he was to pass,
a floral crown should hang, surmount-
ed with the words, “He Well Deserves
it.” ^ v;, ;;
But the wind blew away the crown,
and when the pgmpons mayor passed
