That’s good news, announcement that
work will begin next week getting out
the roek for use on the paving of East
Hickory street, and we’re hopeful that
the completion of this work, already
badly delayed, will be quickly followed
by extension of the paving to every
principal street of the city. With the
schools provided for, the next essential
thing, if we are to have here a city such
as Denton' is entitled to be, is better
streets, and there seeins little difference
of opinion about that need.

But you shouldn’t worry- too much
about the discrepancies of temporary
history, and it is just as advisable as
not for you to take Into” consideration
the fact, Anade into an* axiom by a his-
torical writer of note some hundred or
so years ago, that about the worst
place to find out about a happening is
where it happened. As far as the pos-
sible truth of statements in either pa-
per, we venture that they average up
about even. People whose opinions are
prejudiced or whose emotions are
worked up because of their nearness
to and supposed familiarity with certain
conditions, are almost as likely as not
to be wrong about it. Consider the many-
times an'overwrought mob has lynched
the wrong man,»when in the next coun-
ty people with clearer heads could
have reasoned to a saner conclusion.
Don’t be too sure that the people on
the border are qualified to arrive at the
most correct conclusions about the Mex-
ican trouble. Though they are there, it
is true, it is also true that their sym-
pathies and their intelligence are equal-
ly involved, while It is just as true
that the state and war departments,
from where New York and St. Louis,
thru the various press services, get the
general summary of their reports, have
men on the spot who are looking the
situation over with an eye to the whole
of the. trouble rather than one little
slice, and whose sympathies are not
mixed up to the detriment of their
service in the matter of information
sent to both departments and the Pres-
ident.

Colquitt leads his nearest opponent
by some 30.000 or less votes, it is true,
but when his total vote represents very
little more than one-third of the vot-
ing preference of Texas, we don’t think
the Democracy of that state can yet be
said to have chosen him so overwhelm-
ingly. The Georgetown Commercial, in
an editorial some time early in July, de-
clared that “a vote for Campbcll was
half a vote for Colquitt,” in urging tpr

We earnestly request all Democrats
of Texas who- stand with us on this
platform and this issue, without refer-
ence to whom they supported in their
first primary, to at once, organize Cul-
berson Clubs in their respective neigh-

enjoy a four years’ interim of peace and

campaign just closed has cost the can-
didates probably a million dollars—an
estimate ultra conservative, we think,
by at least 50 per cent—and that the
general election in the fall will cost
from 8250,000 to 8500,000 morfe to the
taxpayers of the state. Almost half of
the states have adopted the four-year
