FRIDAY, OCT. 18. 1901.
Destiny has nipped Hanna’s
presidential aspirations.
A move is on foot to build a
$2,000,000 memorial to the mem-
ory of President McKinley.
One of our exchanges refers
io the recent Legislature as the
“Grand Order of Modern White
washers.”
Rural free mail delivery is
proving a success financially to
the big mail order department
stores of the northern cities,
and a blow at the country mer-
chant.
In the recent local options
elections held in various towns
and counties over the State re-
cently, over four-fifths resulted
in favor of local option. It is
possible that the days of the
saloon are growing few in oar
State.
The Recorder is glad to see a
number of its exchanges agitat-
ing reform in our present jury
system, which, by the way, is
as ancient as the hills. The ju-
ry...system that we have now,
which allows one or two men to
hang a jury against the voices
of 10 or 11 men, who are sup-
posed to be qualified to render
a verdict, is not a good law, and
so long as it continues that long
will there continue to be a large
number of hung juries, which
is a heavy drain on the finan-
ces of the State, as well as a
hardship an witnesses and a
drawback to justice.
To a news reporter, while in
Dallas . last week, Hon. Tom
Campbell, of Palestine, stated
that he would be a candidate
for Governor next year. Mr.
Campbell is a good man, and
will be a strong man in the field.
We shall patiently wait to see
his platform and see how he
stands on the much needed re-
form in State affairs.
That the railroad commission
is not proving a blessing or a
benefit in any way to the peo-
ple of Texas is a well known
fact. Will the Tyler Courier
and the Palestine Advocate
please tell us whether the de-
fect lies in the Commission
laws, or failure by the Commis-
sioners to properly enforce the
laws?
XXth Century Club Proceedings.
Tbs Club met this wesk with
Mrs. Howell Johnson at tbe old
anoestrsl borne of Mrs. M- E*
Bradley. The meeting there re-
called to many of us sweet memo-
ries of childhood days when We
wandered around the grounds,
searching for the early violets—
sweet harbingers of spring—and
gathered the wild rosea that ran
riot orer tbe feooea; oft to ba
called in and carried around the
lovely flower beds by the sweet-
faced owner, and bow oar childish
hearts were gladdened by armefal
of the beautiful blossoms and tbs
kind words of the dear old lady,
who, having no children of her
own, yet always had a loviag word
for tha wee tots of others. May
God ia bia infinite goodness, send
peace and happiness to her, aa aga
creeps alowly on, in retnra for the
annabiue spread along tbe path-
way of others in those happy by
gone days.
Tbe attendance waa good and
tbe lessons well prepared, showing
that tbe |Qlab were enthused with
the work.
Haviag carried out tbe program
tbe Clnb adjourned. AIL lingered
for a friendly interchange of
thought, and then dispersed, feel,
ing brighter and better for having
met one with another.
