Thousands of eager shoppers fill the store. So great was
the crush that we were taxed beyond our best efforts to take

many cases. When the doors closed at night our counters
looked as if a whirlwind had passed by. But we are ready
again-hundreds of new bargains have been added to the
great list offered before, that we are placing in this final
clearance sale. Half price reigns‘in Millinery, Suits, Skirts,
Summer Silks, and Shirt Waists, creating a sensation at the
prices we make on them, making this the greatest bargain-
giving event of the year.

Gamblers Quelehed.
'And right here, I want to say to
the ladies attending this convention,
that your boy can now go to the city
without danger of being debauched in
a gambling hell. The Thirtieth legis-
lature responding to the sentiment of
their state, passed a law. that for the
frst time since Texas has been civil-
ised put gambling out of commission.
ClvMlzatton is centuries old but it re-
mained for the Thirtieth legislature to
abolish an evil that has always been
existent. There is now, not a gaming
table in operation in Texaa. For the
first time since the Lone Star state was
orsanjzed, it is a crime that can be fit-
tingly punished. for a worthless bus-
band to fail to provide for his wife
and children. This reform was the
work of the Thirtieth Texas legislature.

by the legislature I advocated in every
speech I made during the last cam-
paign. And we say that while it was
all right to assess penalties against
the corporations that violated our laws,
that some other method should be ap-
piled to that. Aa I sald in my car-

governor, a law should be paaaed that
I would put strtpea upon the backs of
such violators, and I urged the legis-
lature .to pass such a law. I belteve
that the men who robs you as an in-
dividual, who takes from you that for
which you have tolled and which le
your own, should be punished by im-
prisonment. More strongly do I believe
that the man who conspires to rob
you and me and all the people all the
time, should pay the penalty with a
term in the penitentiary. I advocated
auch a law for the benefit of those
who contract for the trust, who buy
for the trust and who sell for the
trust. That is the anti-trust law about
which you have heard so much com-
plaint from the newspapers and other
sources which have a similar concep-
tion of it.

tion: They said when we adopted the

we would have extravagance in the
administration of our government. The
Legislature passed a law making the
tax rate depend upon appropriations.

one among you. Then what la the dif-
ference to you? If you pay on a 50

not on hr to equalize the burden of tax-

taxes before. Its object was to make
them bear their share ef maintaining

in some counties they still use the old
law in rendering their valuations. in
some the rate is 75 cents, in some 50

have been paying the regular rate on a
