And they say that Wilson is a

It is a sorry bird thst will befoul

W. J. Bryan and Thomas Campbell
have recently proven themselves
to be much alive to the consterna-
tion of their political opponents who
have been proclaiming them as
dead.

The News is glad to publish the
resolutions uf the South Texas Nor-

the noble act of Devine’s young
hero. Mr. Earl Rackley, who risked
bis own life to save the lives of
three noble young women. It was
sad that one of these did not recover
from the effects but this will not
lessen the appreciation of the public tentiary lash after the Sen Antonio --------- ..

Well Morris accommodated Jake
over at Athens the other day in the
presence of 3500 people who cheer-

hinges, remove the rust spots, hang
the Star Spangled Banner from the
second story window, entrust his
children with a pound or two of gun-
powder and dynamite, dig back into
the family record for Colonial heroes,
misquote the "Ride of Paul Revere,"
sing” Yankee Doodle" out of key, favor
his British acquaintances with s leer
of pitying condescension, cockily con
tract to wipe the allied armies of
Europe off the map, retire for the
night smug in the satisfaction thst
he has done his duty, and for the
rest of the year proceed to interpret
liberty aa license.
But the Fourth of July is more
than an anniversary It stands for
nothing if its example does not stsnd

The memory of valiant forefathers and converse so charmingly and sen-
is a glorious heritage, but if the aibly that the young man can think
mighty deeds of dead generations of nothing but a proposal, these
fsil to fire respect for the highest
ideals, all the colored fires thst flare
from sea to sea are meaningless.
Even a republic cannot long en-
dure on past performances. The
real wsrs for freedom sre endless.
There are just as crucial battles
to be fought with the ballot as sny
ever waged with the bayonet.
Foreign foes are not so much to be
feared aa the unexpected enemy
within the walla and the traitor in
the ranks.
Citizenship can never lay down

Only eternal vigilance and con-

guarantee pesce and security.
War is spectacular. It comes with
the drub of drum, the shrill of life
and the flare of banner. Ite picture-

setting makes an appeal which the
silent conflicts of daily life cannot

Far too many men have died that

man, in Womans World.
Had you noticed how Devine girls
have been sought for by young men
from other plsces. Now and then
some home people decide to link
their future destinies but more oftsn
it is thst some nice young fellow
from s nei. hboring town comes to
take a girl home with him. We
have these daughters of Devine in
slmost every town in South West
Texss. Anothsr thing about it, you
| never hear of domestic trouble or
divorce proceedings. There is no
false aristocracy about Devine girls
While they csn grace the parlor and
same girls can sew and bake and
make the beat of wives.This is
hard oa Devine boys but they csn
go abroad, we suppose, if they want
to get married.

leading democrats of Texas, publish
