It doesn’t pay to be a knocker
from any view point. Financially
it is a failure. Morally and re-
ligiously speaking, knocking will
ruin the influence .of any man
and cause his soul to shrink into
oblivion. The effects of knock-
ing are such that it is difficult to
understand how a man can hope
to be honest and honorable and
hold such a job.—Sweetwater Re-
pprter.
That’s the truth. I have seen
more than one man ruin his good
business by being a continual
kicker at everything and every-
body. 1 The financial loss.^ was
not the worst part of it, either,

Before her death, which re-

Mrs. Frances C. VanZandt, one
of the most prominent and weal-
thy of the early Texas pioneers,
wrote the following request:

as not to set a bad example,.to

us can but think that the
custom of covering the coffins
and graves of our dead with rich
flowers is a beautiful one, we
will agree that making qur lives
and surroundings somber with
senseless black garb is one that
we can dispense with to the gain
of all.

Bonham ha$ been claiming tc
be the banner Sunday school
town of America, but Blue
Mountain, Miss., has us skinned
several country blocks—that is
unless the biggest liar on earth
has been sending out dispatches
' from there. Out of a total jfopu-
lation of one thousand, seven
: hundred are regular Sunday
school attendants, andon a re-
< I e
cent special occasion 885 regis-
tered present. ’ That is a mighty
fine record,
puts a doubt in my mind con-
cerning this report is that the
teller thereof goes on till he goes
too far. He adds that on a late
date a circus came to that town •
and advertised over the country
before it arrived. It set up its
tents for business, had the. band
play, gave a street parade, show-
ed the elephant and had the
? clowns tell jokes, but with all
this less than 200 people attend-
ed either ot the two performances
night and morning. : I can 'be-
lieve that 700 out of 1000 people
in *4own belong to the Sunday
school; I can conceive of the pos-
sibility of getting 885 of that
. thousand to attend a special ser-
vice, but when it comes to ask-
ing me to believe that less than
200 of that thousand attended a
.circus that pitched its- tents
right in the middle of the town,
I positively refuse. The whole
thing looks like the work of a
liar who doesn’t know when he
has told a good story.
When it comes to voting, Tex-
as is. soli^Y Democratic, but in
selecting men to fill the offices,
it looks as if the Republican party
had succeeded in getting more
members elected to the State
Senate than the Democratic
party. To prove this it is only
necessary to ^review the acts of
Democratic (?) Legislatures
The Democratic party wen| on
record as favoring and demand-
ing submission of the prohibition'
question and for guaranty of
bank deposits. The Republican
platform, opposed both these
measures, and from the looks ot
things at this distance it seems
as if Cecil Lvon, chairman of the
State Republican party, distribu-
tor of Federal partonage and pet
of Ex-President Roosevelt, has
had a greater influence over the
action of the Texas State Senate,
than the demands of the Demo-
cratic party. In the defeat of
these two Democratic platform
demands, Mr. Lyon is to be con-
gratulated. Just through what
channel he has worked to ac-
complish his ends in having a
Democratic body carry out the
program of the Republican party
of the State is as yet a secret.—
