Why do you blame a girl for uol

mother the teacher?
People are getting so they do not
like anything cheap That is the
reason so few will take advice.
ff the extremely hot weather In
Texas has been of no other sen ice
it has at least caused the boll weevil
to be less destructive.
If Walter Wellnian succeeds in

very glad to have him report the con-

Men sliivi to accumulate fortunes

The McKinney Courier - Gazette
truthfully remarks that we have too
much peanut politics in Texas. It
could have safely added "and too
many peanut politicians."
Cowles of North Carolina started
as an alderman and lauded in con-

that. He started as an alderman and
landed in the penitentiary.
Since the right has been taken
from the newspapers to carry rail-
road advertisements in exchange for
mileage the people do not pay near
to much for (raveling provided they

While the people are quietly work-
ing at home the politicians are busy
in every county in Texas laying the
plans by which conventions are to
he captured and platforms written
which do not reflect the sentiment
of even a respectable minority of
the democrats of Texas.
We do not blame the editors of
certain newspapers for objecting to
any criticism of Dr. Eliot s new re-
ligion. They are eternally lost and
doomed under the present accepted
arrangement and they are ready and
willing to accept any change which
•will give them a show. "Having eln-
■ ed away their day of grace" we are

In the hands of the republican party
to do its bidding. Hi· has no power
except that given him by the mem-
bers of his party and his control of
legislation in such a manner as to
enable the trusts to rob and plunder
the people is only carrying out a well
defined program adopted by his party
and placed in his hands for execu-
tion
The politician harps loudly that
"this is a government of the people
by the people and for the people."
We move lo amend by striking out
the word ' people" wherever it occurs

characterized her former history.
ι The prohibition campaign in Rell
I county is already waxing warm. The
telection takes place on the 11th day
of September and those who are fig-
uring on enlightening the voters of
' that county at so much a "light"
ι should report promptly.
The people may decide by their
votes in the primary who the nomi-
nee for governor is going to be but
! tlie machine will look after the plat-
form on which he is to stand. The
lumber for some of the planks is be-
ing .selected now.
It is too bad that only one West
Texas Normal College is to be lo-
cated. from the way West Texas
towns are g:>ing after the only one
provided for. it would sem that they
could use two or three dozen out In
that section.
Anions the politicians (here are
two kinds of democrats. Those in
! office and who are trying to stay in
jand those who are out but are doing
iheif best to get in. You can pay

A revolution is threatened down
lin Mexico but it is uot apt to as-

WHAT IS HEM-ROID?
A Tablet Taken Internally. That
Cures Plies.
Piles (hemorrhoids) are getting j
more common every day because we j
live unnaturally overeating over- j
working taking little exercise grad-
ually causing a deadening of veins
and tissues in the lower bowel. Blood
stagnation is the cause of piles and
a condition that can't be permanent-
ly cured with ointments.
Dr. Leonhardt's Hem-Roids is the
only internal remedy that cures piles
by freeing the circulation. Sold un-
