members who want to draw five dol-

he’s not far wrong, either. He also
says they ought not get over two

point.

J. A. Kempt, a well known business
man of Wichita Falls, is being urged
by many to make the race for gover-
nor of Texas. It is said that several
thousand names have already been
placed on a petition urging him to
make the race. The Sun would like
to see a real sure enough business
man governor of Texas. The grand
old state has been run by politicians
too long for the good of the people.

The Sun has received several arti-
cles by mail for publication the past
two weeks, which were not published
because no names were signed to
them. All articles sent in should be
signed so that we may know the auth-
or. The names of the senders of the
articles are never* published, unless
we are requested to do so. But we
do not publish articles without know-
ing the source of them and that they
are authentic. Please bear this in
mind when you want them published.

The latest method of separating lican heart,

thren, we are rapidly getting away
from old-time democracy and the sim-
plicity of the fathers. Instead of the
old-time gospel preaching we have
discourses on science and the length
of skirts. States rights have gone

days when democracy’s crown was on
straight the man who wanted amuse-
ment went forth in breeches held in
place by yard galluses and heavily
half-soled on the'rear side and vied
with his neighbor in ringing the pin
with a horse-shoe. Those were the
happy days of economy. Pins could
be found anywhere and any good
blacksmith would donate the horse-
shoes. There was fine exercise for
all the body, too, in that good old
game. It strengthened the muscles
of the arm, it gave exercise to the. legs
and feet, and it trained the eye for
distance. The good old game also
afforded ample cause for disputes

During the late campaign the Re-
publicans told us how they were go-
ing to reduce taxes. Now they are
talking about a Federal tax on every
automobile, increasing letter postage
from 2c to 3c and a tax of 2c on
every bank check. This does not
look like lower taxation to us.—
Whitewright Sun.
The Republicans must reduce taxes
or give way to a party that can re-
duce them. Mr. Mellon, Secretary to
the Treasury, made some frank, un-
diplomatic suggestions for laying new
taxes in place of old ones. He pro-
posed a flat ten-dollar tax on evey
automobile, an increase of letter pos-
tage to 3c and a tax on bank checks.
His party associates with more prac-
tice in politics were horrified. Tax-
es such as Mr. Mellon advocated were
too visible, too plain to see, too de-
cidedly obvious. The Republican par-
ty, the wiser ones whispered to him,
would be blamed by every man who
wrote an automobile tax check, by
every man who wrote any kind of a
bank check, by every man who had
to pay $3 instead of $2 for a hundred
letter stamps. The Republican idea
of taxation is that it should be ex-
tracted secretively. Tariff taxation
and internal revenue taxation have
been particularly dear to the Repub-
But their new tariff bill
has been laid up in dry dock. They
are uneasy over the prospect of hav-

distressed to discover his brethren

a nickel buys as good a cigar as

minute doubt State Press’ veracity,
