REASONS FOR ONE PRICE
Stores that mark goods in anything but plain figures are not as fair to patrons as they could be.
Fets must be favored, or why is it? 25c in plain figures is the only honest way in the
world to mark an honest value. We have one plain figure price for everybody.

And German Newspapers.
I^alletsville, Texas, July 10.—
Much has been said by organs for a
certain candidate for governor re-
garding the German vote in Texas.
Ridiculous and Absurd estimates
are placed upon the strength of this
vote, and for whom it will be cast
at tbe primaries on July 28. An
analysis of this vote will not be
without interest. There are ap-
proximately 55,000 German voters
in the state, including native born
and those of foreign birth. Of this
number fully 40 per cent are repub-
licans. Twenty per cent more call
themselves "independent demo-
crates." The latter class usually
vote the republican ticket in
national and congressional affairs.
They do not vote in democratic
primaries. This year a larger per
cent than usual will vote in the
primaries, probably. It will be
safe to estimate ^tbat in all there
will not be exceeding 80.090 Ger-
man voters go into the July pri-
mary throughout the state. To
assume that these 30.000 voters
will all vote for one man is ridicul-
ous. The men who believe that
are but dreamers; it is not in ac-
cord with the history of these peo-
ple. It is not a fact as any man
may easily ascertain by mingling
with them, They are very much
like ail other voters. In one pre-
cinct the majority seem inclined
for Colquitt, ^in another Bell is
clearlyin tbe lead, while here and
there Cambell has some followers
among tbem.
German Republican Newspapers.
The real German democrats do
not relish tbe advice of German re-
publican papers how to vote in
democratic primaries. These men
were bitter in their denunciation
of demoeartic nominees. That
Victoria paper, from which a cer-
tain organ in Houston is so fond of
quoting, is a republican paper.
Two years ago the German demo-
crats took great delight in voting
against thb editor of that paper as
a c andidate for state superintend-
ent of public instruction on the re-
publican Cticket. These German
democrates, T)whose'party loyalty
has never flickered, do not relish
the dish this paper in particular is
taking. They understand why it
should criticise Jake Wolters.
When the new Ninth congressional
district was first created, Wolters
was made chairman of tbe demo-
cratic executive commi&ee of toe dis
trict.lt will hejremembered that the
creation of this district threw both
Congressman Burgess and Con-
gressman Kleberg into the same
district. The Burgess end of the
district had tbe best of it, and
Judge J Kleberg gracefully retired
and supported Burgess. But the
republicans, thought they saw a
chance to do business: They re-
nominated a splendid German citi-
zen from Dewitt county, They
hoped to combine the
German vote and the negro
vote and thus defeat Burgess. It i
didin't work. It resulted in a re-
publican slaughter and the "young
man from Fayette" was present at
the kill. The Victoria paper never
relished thejoverwhelming defect
of the republicans in rthat district,
and there are others.
Nearly every German paper in
South Texas, in and out of the
Houston congressional district,
'SupportedDr. Urwitz against Judge
were democrats when these papers Pinckney. Wolters, upon inyita-
tion of Chairman Gordon Boone,
broke a lance or two for the demo-
cratic nominee. And some of
these papers print articles "com-
municated" by our Mr. Tilling,
who, by the way, appears as the
translater for the professional or-
gan at Houston, censuring Mr.
Wolters for supporting J. M.
Pinckney, tbe democratic nominee,
over Dr. Urwitz, a gifted German,
republican^nominee.
'These German democrats are not
"know nothings." They are broad,
intelligent American citizens. jThey
will not be prejudiced by the Ger-
man republican press nor by the
paid political boosters, who during
campaign years succeed ,in blind-
ing some political suckers, who
themselves know so little about
the German character that they
really believe that these intelligent
citizens can be led to vote any way
through the effuaions of the afore-
said boosters..
That Hermann's Bohn Organ.
Another thing that has evinced
much unfavorablejcomment among
the Germans of this section is the
descending into politics of the of-
ficial organ of the Order of Sons of
Hermann. This organization is a
fraternal insurance'and socialjorder.
Its mission is to mamtain*tbe his-
tory of the German people and per-
petuate the language and to succor
tha widow and orphan. A laudable
mission indeed! Like most secret
organizations of this character, it
maintains an official paper. In this
instance it is published in San An-
tonio. It is devoted to the mat-
ters pertaining ^to the order. It
bears the proud title of "Her-
mann's Sohn." Nothing should
be further from this lodge paper
than politics. Yet recently it pub-
lished an editorial on the guberna-
torial race. It did not confine it-
self to the truth, but absolutely de-
barred itself by resorting to the
vilest defamation and slander. For
instance, it charged that it had
proof that Judge Bell was connect-
ed with the oil trust. It did not of-
fer any proof. It knew its utter-
ance was false, but it had a mission
to undertake—to try to decry the
popular candidate for governor, in
order to help its own idol. It had
the audacity—this official organ
maintained by the money of men
who give it from their hard earn-
ings for the widows and orphans—
to advisa every member of the [or-
ganization to vote for Colquitt.
And why? Because this foxy poli-
tician,since he quitjtbe role of chair-
man of the prohibition commitee
ef Kaufman county, and sold hi3
prohibition paper, managed an
anti-local option campaign for tbe
"interests," drinks beer!
This official organ went further.
It urged the members of the order
to vote for Mr. Keilig, the grand
treasurer of the order, against Sen-
ator Paulus. Now, Senator Paulus
is a member of the order and his
i local lodge here at Halletsville is
up in arms. They resent the inter-
meddling politics by their official
organ. They are after it. Eyery-
where Hermann's Sons are roast-
ing the editor of their official gazet-
te. Many of them will resent this
effort to drag their splendid organi-
zation into politic.
Uniform License.
Germans believe in fair play.
They do not want the little beer sa-
loons in the 'country destroyed.
They are becoming familiar with
Mr. Colquitt's uniform license re-
cord. Here it is. as taken from
the report of the tax commission,
pagfb 33: "A minority* of the tax
commission advocated a uniform
license, and doing away with tbe
license granted to exclusive deal-
ers in malt liquors. But a majori-
ty thought differently."
The asterisk behind the word
minority refers to a foot-note on
the bottom of the page, where, op-
posite another asterisk, appears
the following: "Mr. Colquitt."
The majority that prevented it was
the good old friend of the German
people, Joseph D. Sayers, R. W.
Findley and Joe Lee Jamison.
Strikers and organs of the can-
didate with acrobatic proclivities
says be favored making the beer li-
cense $250. This is not the record.
He tried to do away with the beer
license altogether. It must be re-
mem berad this versatile candidate,
with records as many lines as
Joseph's eoat, .wrote this report
himself, and signed it.
Another bunch of Btrikers tell
the people that he only favored
making the license uniform in cities
oyer 10,000. That is not tbe re-
cord and is not the truth. If that
was the record it would be worse
than ever, for every pickaninny
educated at the expense of public
free school money knows that taxes
must be equal and uniform applied
to the same class. The constitu-
tion does not permit one tax on
a beer saloon in Harris county and
and another in Lavaca.
Whistling To Keep Up Courage.
The continuous fulmlnations
that fill the columns of a Houston
political misdirectory regarding the
rapid running of its candidate
would be pathetie if they w^re not
so laughable. Men who never get
beyond the shelter of the Rice Ho-
tel in Houston and others who
never get beyond their offices are
quoted in long opinions ofjhow the
election is going. It is remarkable
how much interest that class of the
city gentry take in the boys in the
country, just before election.
Some of them even take so deep
an interest in their welfare that
they travel all night on a Pullman
from Houston to San Antonio and
then back another night, and tell
an anxious public how the farmers
along the route they snored are go-
ing to vote. There will be sad but
wiser men around the Rice Hotel
lobby on that Sabbath morn that
will succeed tbe 28th when these
professional politicians hear in the
silent ballots of the people the
chiming of the Bells!
Homestead Exemptions and
Rebates.
Colonel Cambell is losing sup-
porters in streams. His home-
stead tax exemption first created a
doubt in the minds of many of his
supporters as to his soundness.
Now comes his rebating record.
He who poses as the friend of the
great James Stephen Hogg is found
to have Violated the best law Hogg
placed, through his influence, up-
on the statute hooks. Living men
may say James Stephen Hogg
would have supported Tom Camp-
bell for governor. But the great
mass of the people, who believe in
the rugged honesty and security of
this great [tribune, look upon hi6
silent lips and beyond them upon
the record they help to make and
they know those sacred lips would
never have been"opened to speak
a word in support of a railread rate
rebatar for the high office of gov-
ernor.
The People Thinking.
It is all a panorama. The acro-
batic candidate is high in the air
performing wonderful feats of care-
ful record dodging, while the or-
gans grind and the Rice Hotel and
Cotton Exchange politicians whistle
the Campbell's dismal calamity
howl is heard in the ever waning
distance from the oasis in the poli-
tical desert; the Brook3 are singing
songs of a milllenial dawn when
state constables will make us all
be good.
And all the time the people are
watching andQtbinking.
In darkness of tbe night,' when
the heavy pall of the thickening fog
at sea shuts out the sight of the
lost mariner the beacon lights of
heaven, he listens above the roar of
the breakers, even beyond for the
pealing of the bell upon the watch
tower in the sea.' To him the faint
peal of that bell is the beacon that
will guid him and his good ship
away from tbe shoals and breakers,
to a harbor of safety, eyen so as
the people watch this political
panorama a heavy fog of inconsist-
ent records, rebating, lobbying,
the one lor Pullman, the other for
rai^oads, wild fantastical schemes
of taxation overhanging all, they
hear the quiet, steady peal of the
Bell. Its clear tones speak a story
of an honest and pure life, upright-
ly spent, both in public and private
No unsavory connection with cor-
poration interests in itB chime. No
inconsistent record, no lobbying for
Pullman or railroad, no wild, chi-
merical notes of tax 'shifting bur-
dens to deaden its sweet refrain.
Sound and clear tha Bell peals on
and as the people think it guids
the way from shoals and breakers,
and they acclaim tbe Bell the bea-
con to guide them and the good
ship Texas to the same good har-
bor where Houston, Coke, Hub-
bard, Roberts, Irland, Ross, Hogg
Culberson, Sayers and Lanham
held it at anchor.
Valuable.
"I've been mailing you quite a lot
of my writings from time to time,"
said the struggling author, "but It
seems I never send you anything that's
acceptable."
"Oh! yes, yeu do," replied the edi-
tor, "the stamps are always accept-
able."
YOU DID NOT KNOW IT.
You haye, no doubt, often heard
that the Tyler Commericial Col-
lege was a big institution, but
here are facts you did not know.
Read them. The school is located
on oue of the highest points in tha
city of Tyler, Texas; this city is
on the highest point between the
Gulf and Red River, and is 100 feet
higher above sea level than San
Antonio, and about 200 feet higher
than Fort worth. It is a most
healthful and beautiful city of
over 10,000 inhabitants. It has
no saloons or gambling houses.
The healthful and moral conditions
are to be considered when select-
ing a school to attend. No other
commercial school building in the
South is as well lighted and ventiL
lated as the Tyler Commercial Col-
lege building. It is scientifically
ventillated and lighted. Classes
are cajled and dismissed by elec-
tric bells, every recitation ro">m
is connected with every other one,
and the private office by an inter-
ior telephone system of our own.

A Frightful PreMem.
"I have now come to the parting at
the way*," said tbe legislator,
thoughtfully.
"How so?"
'1 must now decide whether I am
here to represent the bosses er tha
people. If I offend the one I never
can be nominated again; if 1 offend
the other I never can be elected. I
tell you, the public does not realiso
the great problems of statesmanship
that confront a man in public life."
Most Annoying.
Tess—Yes, my engagement ring la
lovely, but the jeweler's name isn't
on the box it came in.
Jess—That doesn't signify that It
isn't a genuine diamond or
Tess—Of course not, but if I doa't
know the jeweler's name how am I
to find out how much George paid far
it?—Philadelphia Press.
The Mashing of a Masher,
Reggy—Railroad accident?
Freddy—Yes. Tried to kisa a girt
going through a tunnel.
