so.
Ringling's Circus is in Texas. We
do not know that they will visit Mc-
Kinney. If they fail to come it will
lie si sore disappointment lo many a
little hoy and girl here, for Ringling's
circus is a favorite in old Collin.
Headlines in big type In .the dailies
say Roosevelt advises Sulzer to "tell
il all;" that he. Sulzer', owes it to him-
Keir to do so." Yes, let Mr. Sulzer tell
il all, but'for the sake of a suffering
public, "bo azy." Don't tell it all at
one time. It will be too big indose.
McKinney is to have a Relail Mer-
chants' association. This is a splen-
did organization, and is good for both
the people and the merchants. It well
nigh eliminates the dead beat, and
gives the honest man, be he ever so
poor, the proper standing in the com-
munity.— Sherman Democrat.
One of the prettiest sights in .Mc-
Kinney at litis time is the many
school children wending their way to
school each morning, God bless the
little, children, and may we all "loos-
en up" a little and see that they are
given better school facilities iu our
city. We need more school buildings.
sure want to know what they are pet-
ting.
The National Farmers' Cnion in
session at Sallna, Kans., Friday, vot-
ed unanimously that the Union would
hold its cotton for 15 cents. The action
of the Union, it is said, binds every
member to hold his cotton until that
price Is reached. Well, here's hoping
the farmers will get that price. Cot-
ton can not be produced at a profit
for less than 15 cents, it seems cer
tain. As long as the farmer sells his
produce at cost, just that long he will
remain the footban of big trusts of
all kinds. Give us prosperous farm
era and the country will be prosper
oils.
Callahan county voted on prohibi
tion last Saturday. The vote was in
favor of prohibition by 00 majority.
Two years ago the majority was 63.
Where prohibition is given a fair trial
it stays. People want to do that which
is for the besi of lite community, as a
general thing. Men who "honestly be
lieve prohibition will not prohibit, be
come convinced by a fair trial, and
the next time the question comes up
they either refuse to vote for the re
turn of the dirty, filthy saloon, or vote
straight against it. They have, hn I a
chance to see how much better it is
for any community to be rid of a bus-
iness that to flourish must do so at the
expense of the manhood of the boys of
our country.
The Grayson County Commission-
ers' Court has started the "trade at
home" style among the county of-
ficials. We hope this will be "ketrh-
ing" and that all county and city offici-
als will give home contractors, labor-
ers, printers, merchants, and other
home people, the preference in all or-
ders. This is a style which if emulat-
ed will make Sherman and Grayson
county to go to the front at a rapid
ra i e.—Sherman Detnoc ra t.
The above reminds us that Collin
county's Commissioners and county
officials have always been patrons of
home enterprise. They believe in
spending the county's money right
here at home with those who pay the
taxes. And they are correct.
Prof. vfr. C. Johnson, of the North
Texas Haptist Academy, was in the
city a few days ago and called on the
Examiner. Prof. Johnson is gfeatly
encouraged over the splendid pros-
pecis for the Academy this year. He
says Westminster is moving ahead
nicely. The new railrgad has given
it. quite an impetus.
Sweet potatoes on this market are
fine and what is nicer for the hungry
boy or girl coming home from school
in the winter than a nice, warm baked
sweet potato left In the oven by the
thoughtful mother.—Sherman Demo-
crat.
Nothing nicer, except it be two po-
ll) toes.
The Denton county grand jury In
ils report i'i the Record-Chronicle, de-
clares crime on the decrease in Den-
ton county. That is a pleasing re-
port, but is no surprise, for Denton
county is blessed with a splendid
class of people. And as for educa-
tional enthusiasm, it can not lie ex-
celled. Note the splendid colleges and
public schools of Denton.
"Rich stranger poisoned and pretty
woman held," is the way a sensational
headline in prominent dailies reads.
Why sure. Did you ever see the yel-
low journals fail to describe a mur-
deress as pretty or beautiful, or love-
ly. Oh, Lord, how long will this sick-
ening custom continue of praising and
flattering those who dye their hands
human blood?
Collin county has been blessed with
fine showers, bringing relief to the
parched earth. And so gentle in its
downfall, unattended by wind and
lightning, that very little damage was
done. In a few instances barns were
struck by lightning, thus entailing
loss on some. Hut, as a whole, it has
been a benediction. Collin county
people ought to be very thankful, in-
deed.
Win. Travers Jerome was caught
playing joker in Coaticook. Canada,
and was placed in jail with Thaw.
Afterwards he was allowed bond in
tlie sum of $500, and then scooted
across the line like any other violator
of the law would do in order to keep
out-of the toils of the law. This ought
to take him out of the Thaw case for
good and all. He is a line specimen
to be trying to enforce the laws of Ihe
country, says the Sherman Democrat.
And that's just the way we dew Mr.
Jerome, also.
Mjtfre murders are committed In the
State of Georgia, with its three mil-
lion people, than in the British Isles
wiih ils more than sixty million, says
the Atlanta Constitution. Fewer
crimes are committed in England than
in this country, simply and solely he-
cause in England it is a matter of uni-
versal knowledge that crime means
punishment, and that all the money
and all the technicalities of the law
can not save a criminal from punish-
ment."
The Examiner thinks this changing
of school books by the State every
few years is a shame and imposition
on the people. Children hardly lie-
come familiar with a set .if text books
ere some school Commission send-
down the order to "change books." It
is our opinion that it is time for the
people of this State to wak< up. Some
families have had to buy as high as
$S.OO or $10,00 worth of new books
for their children right here in Mc-
Kinney this month, because of this
peremptory change of text books. It
has been a great hardship on many,
and softie children will simply have to
remain out of school, for a' while at
least, until their parents can make
money by daily toil to buy new books.
The "exchange proposition," sounds
good to look in the back of your last
year's book and see where you can
"exchange" it for 53 cents on an 80c
new book. But when the child goes
to the book seller the book is looked
over, and if a few pages are missing,
or it is marked up. he Is informed
that it will not be taken in exchange.
Hence the child must pay full price
for Ihe new books, and he can t ike
the old ones back ho*ie and burn
them. Now these are facts. Some-
body is to blame. There seems to lie
no law to control the matter. It was
our impression when the "exchange"
matter was arranged that it was to
help the child and not the publish-
er. We didn't know the condition of
the book had anything to do with it.
for no one thinks for a moment that
these old books are used when taken
ii) on "exchange." We do not know
who is to blame. But somebody is.
and it ought to be traced to its source
and-.a remedy provided. A little hoy
stepped into our office hunting it job
Saturday. We asked him if he intend-
ed going to school Monday. He re-
plied that he would not start in for a
while yet as he had no money with
which to buy new books. His father
is a day laborer here in McKinney.
Now if you don't agree with the Ex-
aminer in the above why our columns
are open for discussion.

Capt. 1. I.. Greer's many friends

They are having n rich old I line ill
Grayson county. It seems Grayson
county has spent many thousand dol-
lars to get good roads. And now that
the money is spent, if seems that there
is o very large, healthy question as to
whether the county has got what it
paid for. A hard light is being made
against accepting the road3, and much
bitter feeling is being engendered.
The time will come when Collin coun-
ty will Issue bonds to build good
roads. When that time does come, we
hope a full report of the committee at
Sherman which has the investigation
In charge will be secured and careful-
ly studied by our Commissioners.

The people of Texas blush with
shame when they read of the brutal
death of those negroes on the State
Farm at Sugarland. last Saturday
night. Talk about your "black hole
of Calcutta," talk of Russian torture
of political prisoners in Siberia if you
please. But don't mention Texas and
the latest horror at her State Peni-
tentiary. Twelve negroes—human be-
ings—condemned lo swelter and die
by suffocation in a filthy hole in the
ground last Saturday—and for what?
Why because they had not picked as
much cotton as some guard thought
they should. Great Caesar, why
last Friday and Saturday were the
two hottest days of the year with the
mercury standing 107 in the shade in
some places. Yet. these negroes—and
they put white men in there also—
were driven into that filthy hole and
left to die. Where were the guards?
What on eartn are we coming to, when
such inhumanity is being practiced
l ight here in this lovely State of Tex-
as. They burn negroes to death in
iron cages in Mississippi. In Texas
our penitentiary management smoth-
ers them to dealh in dark and filthy
underground dungeons. As for us, we
think it time to call the hand of the
whole outfit that is responsible for
this outrage.
FINE MEETING CLOSED.
The revival meeting at the East Mc-
Kinney Christian Church closed Mon-
day night. The rain interfered, or it
would have continued through the
week, as the interest was great and
there had already been sevenaddltions
to the church. Rev. A. H. Snider, the
pastor, was assisted by Rev. C. B.
Knight, of Alvin, State Evangelist.

Austin. Sept. 9.—The Comptroller's

task of mailing out 11.000 Confederate
pension warrants to that number of
pensioners in the Stat,e. These war-
rants are for $10.50 eaoh. and are for
the quarter ending Aug. 31. 1013. This
means that there is no necessity for

the world"'bv natural means. Hut. the
German authority referred to above
points out' that the modern view is
that the universe is stable. The bal-
ance of the cosmos is perfect. Newly
discovered forces of gravitation, he
tells us. give the planetary system a
physical stability to an unlimited de-
gree. Even the sun, he holds, will not
"burn out." because the energy which
it loses is constantly restored by the
gravitational energy it absorbs from
space. And as to the human race, lie
is equally optimistic. It will not de-
generate and die out either because
of its own mistakes or because of such
natural catastrophes as the prophets
of evil used to predict so abundantly
Rather its intellectual and physical
evolution will go on indefinitely, car-
rying us to heignt.s undreamed of
hitherto. We are glad to have this
scientific testimony, although we have
never believed anything but good of
nature and humanity.—Light (Lon-
