Candidates.
The government report on cot-
ton last Friday, making an esti-
mate of only a little over a ten
million bale crop, caused a con-
siderable advance in the price.
Many well informed people .be-
lieve that the price will advance
still further.

Fannin, all of which was true at
the time, but when he awoke on
the morning following the ice
was an inch thick and those roses
were frozen as stiff as a poker.
Oh, yes, this is a State of varied
climate.
The time when a poor man can
buy a farm in North Texas with
any hope of ever making the
land pay for itself is fast drawing
to a close. The day of cheap
land is forever at an end. Within
less than ten ^years it will be im-
possible to buy the best grade of
black land for less than $100 an
acre, and it will be poor land in-
deed that can be bought for $40.
Land in Fannin County is now
comparatively cheap, and can bi
purchased on terms that will en-
able the industrious, frugal man
to pay for it. The editor of The
News has no land to sell, and
would not sell if he bad any. sc
he has no selfish motive in urging
every homeless farmer to buy a
little farm while it is possible for
him to do so.

Exchange Comment {
“Conscience is a safe guide” is
a commonly accepted truism, and
more falsity was seldom express-
ed in few words. Conscience is
only a safe guide when it has
been properly educated and culti-
vated.—Petty Enterprise.
In that case it is not cur con-
science that we follow, bu'. it is
truth we have learned. Con-
science does no more than t? ap-
prove when we do what we con-
ceive to be right, or to condemn
when we do what we believe te
be wrong. We may act in all
good conscience and still be very
wrong. E^en so the Apostle
Paul declared he did.

of the nominees under that law

I might be defeated, but I am
proud to be able to sav th it the
Good Government ticket was
elected from the top to the bot-
tom. It was a clean sweep.

tion that the Southern Pacific

With five candidates for Gov-
ernor now in the field, the situa-
tion is becoming mixed. The
Examiner would advise its read*
ers to wait until the steeds get
warmed up a little. There’s
going to have to be something
more done than simply voting
this year, if the prohibitionists
hold their own even, to say noth-
ing of a forward .step. So far
Cone Johnson is the only uncom-
promising State-wider in the
race. Poindexter and Brooks are
both against State-wide prohibi-
tion. Colquitt is an ultra whis-
key man. He bids straight for
the salpon element. Davidson is
an anti and of course against
State-wide prohibition though he
says he favors local option. All
of those anti-prohibitionists are
now great local optionists and
praise the law as the acme of
true Democracy, being for local
self-government, they say. With
the situation as it is we believe it
will pay the voters to be slow
about tying themselves to any
candidate. We want an able man
for Governor, and we w’ant him
to be for State-wide prohibition.
— McKinney Examiner.
The Examiner is giving some
good advice, but just for the
sake of being, accurate it must
correct its statement concerning
Judge Poindexter. The Exami-
ner is mistaken about his being
against State-wide prohibition.
He not only favors it now, but
has always favored it, something
that none of the other candidates
have done. Even Cone Johnson
opposed it once upon a time.
Judge Poindexter doe^ not be-
lieve that under our present con-
stitution statutory * prohibition
would stand the test of the high-
est court, an opinion shared by
many of the ablest lawyers of the
State, but he heartily favors a
constitutional amendment where-
by we could have constitutional
prohibition. This is just to set
the Examiner right. Its advice
still holds good.

Is a most excellent gift

A young farmer living near
Terrell committed suicide last
week. He left a note stating
that he had ruined his life bv
drink, and imploring his boys
never to touch whiskey. When
will the time come that men will
be ready to banish from the earth
so great a source of crime, of
sin. of sorrow, of woe, of degra-
dation. of lost hopes and lost
souls as is the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors?
ily see what the Good Govern-
ment titket was up against. Yet
theG. «G. ticket made an abso-
lute clean sweep.
The people had become tired
of boss i^ile and determined to
throv^t off., and did so. From
the clipping I enclose you may
judge for yourself what kind ol
.race I ran. I held mv petition,'
q or rather mv friends filed it. on
CzWMtllVldkJ the last day for filing petitions,
and hence I became a candidate
at a late hour. The ward system
had been abolished Sy amend-
ment to the charter and all offi-
cers were elected bv votes of the
people of the whole citv, and not
by wards, as heretofore. We go
into office on January 1st. In
view of the great enterprises
which Los Angeles has under-
taken the office of C >uncilman is
a very important one. Within
the next two or three years the
City Council will expend $30,000,-
000 to $35,000,000. Tbe Owens
Rirer Aqaeduct will cost $23,-
000,000. The Owens River will
be brought 240 miles to this
City. It necessitates tunn^ing
through mountains and building
cement conduits over the deserts,
etc.
The establishment of our free
harbor at San Pedro will cost
$10,000,000. So it can readily be
seen that the new cduniil has
great responsibilities. I almost
shrink* from them when I think
of tJiern. I regard it a very
great honor to be elected one of
nine councilmen at large in a city
of at least 300.000 people, es-
pecially as I had not lived here a
great while and had not sought
to put myself forward.

Jim Lowry of the Honey
Grove Signal, organizer and sole
member f of the “Buttermilk
Club,” bets Ashley Evans of the
Bonham News 1.000 gallons of
buttermilk that there is more
money on deposit in the banks of
Honey Grove than is to be found
in the banks of Bonham. As
neither would be allowed to ap-
proach wittiin fifty feet of the
treasure pile tbe question is how
are they going to decide the bet?
—Vae Alstyne Leader.
That bet is not going to be de-
cided, for the editor of The
News fears- he might win, and
that would be calamity he does
not intend to invite. A thousand
gallons of buttermilk! The
thought of. it makes . me sick..
Jim Lpwry’Sr-beautiful word-* and
TLrrterinimagery as regards the
soothing effect of the detestable
stuff on a man’s “innards” once
led me to try a glass of butter-
milk, and it landed me so near
death’s door that I could almost
hear the rustle of the angel’s,
wing. To think of winning a
thousand gallons of it is enough
to make me agree that all the
bank deposits in Fannin County
are in Hooey Grove. Jim Lowry
knew mighty well when he pro-
posed that bet that it wouldn’t
be taken. Let him put up a ten-
pound bass, a dozen quail or a
wild turkey gobbler and he will
find something doing right away.
He is entitled to all tbe fame
coming from his organization of
the Buttermilk Club, and I am
willing to go further and let him
drink all my share of the butter-
milk in the State!

Judge R. M. Lusk, so long an
honored and esteemed citizen of
Bonham, but for seven years
past a resident of Los Angeles,
Cal., has been honored bv the
people of that city by being
elected one ot nine city council-
men. He made the race as a
member of the Good Government
Club, an organizition composed
of men of all political parties,
who were trying to wrest the
city government from the control
- of tbe great political micbine
built up by the Southern Pacific
railroad, an influence that has
controlled and exploited the
whole State of California for
years. The Good Government
ticket was composed of Demo-
cratFand Republicans. The peo-
ple of Los Angeles can be assur-
ed that in the election of Judge
Luak they have selected not only
an able,but an incorruptible,pub-
lic servant.
