REVERSE THE MACHINE.
For the past twenty years the
Republican party in the state of
Texas has been steadily degenerat-
ing. Instead of keeping pace with
the growth of the state and mak-
ing itself felt is both state and na-
tional affairs it has not even held
its own and is today relatively
■weaker than at any time since the
reconstruction period. This fact is
undeniable. The population of the
state is almost double what it was
when a vote of over 90000 was
polled for James G. Blaine and
there is no prospect of duplicating
that vote today in any election
that the party can hold. There are
reasons for this condition of affairs
and they lie within not without
the lines of the Republican party
itself. That this is true is evident
when the almost general disaffec-
tion of the Democratic masses with
the policy and procedures of their
leaders is taken into consideration.
There is today a more widespread
revolt against the incompetency of
the Democratic party than has
ever been noted in its ranks. The
leaders are powerless to hold the
voters of the party to their alle-
giance and yet despite all this and
the wonderful increase in popula-
tion here in Texas the Texas Re-
publicans can not poll as strong a
vote as they did ten years ago. It
is time for the wisdom of the
party to enquire into the causes
of this defection from the ranks
of the party and arrive at
some understanding of the ef-
ficient causes one thing Is
as clear as daylight and
that an 'entirely new departure
must be taken by (the party in
Texas one that will bring the par-
ty itself into such condition as to
commend the support of the thou-
sands who today are in revolt
against the Democratic policies.
No matter what the action so long
as it is an 'entire reversal of the
methods of the past. It is self evi-
dent that the old way is self de-
structive. Then in the name of
all that is of worth in the party
take something new. It cannot be
worse than tho present way for
that is the way of death. The first
thing to be decided upon in trying
to alter the present conditionsis
to demand in the management of
the party in the state an entire
change. Retire every man who
has been in the lead during the
past twenty years to the rear and
put ths party in the hands of new
men. Take no tent of so-calle d
•
partj' services look closely to the
work of these past twenty years
and take the same men who in the
name of party have been serving
self and bundle them neck and
heels out of the leadership. It is
very easy to see who and where
the disturbing element is. Exam-
ine the pie counter and the chief
seats fn the synagogue and see
who throngs around the one and
who sits in the other. Certain it
is that the party has gone to the
bad while these men were running
affairs and this being without
controversy the case it
is the part of wisdom to
replace these men with others.
Honors are easy at present in
Texas. The Clark men got their
platform and the Hogg men got
the offices. As it is not intended
that there will be any standing to
the declarations of the platform it
is as good a line of division as
could have been expected. It pre-
vents a split outside.
It is mathematically demons-
trable that from the summit of
Mount Shasta in California one
can see the summit of Mount
Hood in Oregon a distance of 2t6
miles. This is a good deal farther
than a Democratic smelling com-
mittee can see into what Hill in-
tends to do in the matter of in-
come tax.
With the bonds of that Gulf
Shore road profitably disposed of
and the contracts of the builders
all pushing their way to conclu-
sion there is increased hopefulness
in all that concerns the fall and
winter trade of this city. The pro-
moters of that road are in luck
the luck that always attends the
man who hustles sowing his seed
in the morning and not withhold-
ing his hand in the evening.
The bottom crop in Texas will
not pan out much cotton but the
indications are for a larger top crop
than has been gathered in many
years. The prediction of Foster
that frosts will be late this season
except in the extreme north is in
line with this prospect and greatly
increase it.
The member of Congress who for
any pretence rises in his place to
object to the consideration of a
resolution preventing the landing
of Anarchists and deporting those
already here is open to the charge
of treason against the peace and
security of the Nation for whose
behoof he pretends to act and in
whose service he has taken a
solemn oath of office. That man is
not to be trusted.
Galveston News says that it is
sometimes a duty to jump on
somebody elses toes with both feet.
It is almost time for some one to
feelthe weight of the News on their
corns. The provocation has cer-
tainly been great enough and the
News has no need to fear for its
own bunions.
Missouri has shown a very pro-
nounced disposition on several oc-
casions lately to turn her back up-
on the incompetency and inopera-
tives of Democratic methods and
seek refuge within the pall of the
Republican party. That disposi-
tion grows more pronounced this
sad days of party demoralization
affording the friends of a better
order of state and national govern-
ment increased hope of taking in
the state out of the inhospitable-
ness of Democratic relation and
placing her squarely within the
Republican pall. Representa-
tive Bartholdt the lone Repub-
lican congressman who holds the
fort for Missouri in the National
Congress is quite sanguine of see-
ing a genuine political revival all
over the state and a genuine turn-
ing to the Republican faith as the
only and sufficient ground of polit-
ical salvation. Missouri is on the
very edge of the land of political
promise and is well placed to lead
off in the revolt against a solid
south. Her example would be a
great incentive to good work In
other states far to the south and
might even work a revolution two
years hence in the Lone Star state
the stronghold and recruiting sta-
tion of the unwashed Democracy.
The dog-in-the-manger policy
that nominated Miles Crowley to
Congress in the convention of the
Twelfth district will in all proba-
bility lose that district to the
Democrats. It will if Hawley of
Galveston can be persuaded to run
on the Republican ticket. Miles
has as much real relation to Haw-
ley as a representative of Galves-
ton is concerned as a little Etho-
plan has to Egyptian night.
Tom Ochiltree looms up as ft
candidate for Congress in opposi-
tion to Bourke Cochrane and he
will make the race on the anti-
income tax platform. Tom may
be hit by a streak of luck two
times.
Wellman is out of that Artic
expedition and he will be a better
man for the job the next time that
re undertakes it. That North Pole
is well hidden and it is not every
ellow with an outfit that can
knock down his persimmon with
it. If Wellman had found it what
would he have done with it? What
advantage would it be to science
or art to know whether the pole
rose up out of the ice or out of an
open Polar sea?
Breckinridge asks for mercy on
the ground that he has repented
and asked for mercy and this re-
jentance he thinks entitles him to
ask any honor he desires at the
lands df his constituents. On that
same ground the penitent thief
would be entitled to a bishoprick
when he landed in Paradise.
There is not one data of chance
or pulling off that Corbett-Jack-
son mill in Sioux City. The town
that has distinguished itself as the
most rabid in its prohibition cru-
sades of all the lowan cities is not
likely to drop into line with any
such suggestion. The offer is a
good one to advertize Sioux City
but it will not hold water long
enough to float an air balloon.
Owens made it hot very hot
blisteringly so when he barbecued
in Breckinridge’s district lately.
That young man owes Breckinridge
nothing and he is paying his debt
with remarkable energy.
Japan is every day clearing the
fog that lingers around that East-
ern traces and showing to the
Western world that she has the
Celestial on the hip. She is the
sharper of thb Orient.
For the Bridesmaids.
A lunchebn for the bridesmaids
and most intimate friends is a very
satisfactory form of entertaining
writes Helen Jay in an article that
cannot fail to be pleasing to all
housewives entitled “The Hang-
ing of the Crane” in the August
Ladies’ Home Journal. If most
of the guests—as very often is the
case in these days of college educa-
tion—were schoolmates of the
bride it is a very tactful thing to
combine the class flower with the
favorite blossom of the bride in the
floral decorations especially those
used for the table. As far as pos-
sible the young housewife should
aim at absolute purity in her table
furnishings and avoid the vulgar
use of ‘colored silk satin or un-
washable lace. No matter what
many fashion notes have to say
about the use of ribbon bows and
streamers dodging in and out of
ropdS of srnilax the most dainty
tables are covered with cloths of
heavy white damask and dollies
of linen embroidered in white.
