POWER!
C\ F.K'VONK 1 \nows tlit* itifaiiin^; of "machine power," tlit* greut, mighty,
Moving ft>rt*«* of to-duy. Urcat governments are great machines. Tin*
groat political parties, when thoroughly organized, are simply huge machines.
Our huge eonmicreial ami industrial concerns are machines; so are the great
armies and great navies of tho world. To make a great army or navy that
will tight like a perfect maehin a great deal of time, ability ami money.
One of the best examples of "machine power" is the
Elzier Corner of 72.000 Spare Feet.
It is now developed and perfected to the point of the greatest efficiency. Jt
is a wonderful engine ef economy. Hut it could never have attained its pres-
ent great power without some deep principle underlying its motives. And
that principle has been, "LOWKK I'KICKN KV1CR LOWKii." This
This mighty machine is now at the service of thousands of people of Bastrop
and other counties, and nothing can stop its onward progress. All the
favoritism in the world, and all the force of established custom in the world,
and all ihe pulls of one kind ami ami another in the world cannot li\e beside
our lower prices.

in Alabama. A few years later
his parents moved to Texas, tak-
ing their family with them.
Young Sion grew up on the Tex-
as frontier and became an expert
horseman and rifle shot. When
iti IKlo, the Texans revolted
against the tyranny of the Mexi-
can dictator, Santa Anna, young
Bostwick became a member of
the Texas Hangers and saw hard
fighting. The next year after
the fall of the Alamo he took the
field again, and it was on this
expedition, while serving as a
mounted scout, that he, with two
other soldiers, had the good for-
tune to capture the Mexican < Gen-
eral, who was dressed at the time
in the uniform of a private sol
her. Their prisoner was taken
before lien. Sam Houston, who
saved his life and persuaded him
a few weeks later to sign a treaty
of peace, in which the independ-
ence of Texas was conceded.

Those whose vote cannot be
bought must he coerced into vot-
ing for McKinley. That is the
motto under which the republican
managers are working now. How
it works in some cases may be
judged by what a prominent
drummer said to a Washington
friend: ,'Ninety-five percent of
the commercial travelers in the
I ". S. and about 100 pe. cent of
those who were commercial trav-
elers until the on-rush of trust-
drove them from the road, will

country should be. Mr. McKin-
ley and his advisers are and have
been studying up schemes to save
him from the defeat which he
dreads, and fears because of his
knowledge that he has done things
to deserve it.
The McKinleyites are finding it
necessary to uncoverthcir imper-
ial programe to the extent of pre-
paring the country for the estab-
lishment of militarism through
legislation by the republican Con-
gress for a large increase in the
standingarmy. The W ar I >cpart-

army to "enable this nation t ■
maintain the position in which i;
now finds itself placed." The idea
is to inform the people that the
proposed increase in the army is
to meet the demands of the gen-
eral officers of the army. 1* is
perfectly natural that army offi-
'McKinley,'and appear to like it cers should favor an increase
before tin* trust spies. But wait of the army—it means to them

the hundredsof those who still are
get behind the curtain in the vot-
ing places. Won't we 'swat 'em'
at the polls." The secret ballot
makes it possible for tin ereion
echeine to prove a boomerang to
the republican managers, and it
may do so. There are probably
many who are like this drum-
mer.
Mr. McKinley has given him-
self up almost entirely to politics
since his return to Washington,
for increasing t he army is h i main-
tain the imperialism into which
the country is being carried by
the plans of the McKinley admin-
istration.
The prediction that no case in-
volving the constitutionality of
the republican I'orto llieo tariff
bill would be heard by the t'. S.
Supreme Court before election
was verified when Solicitor 'it n-
real Richard asked for the advan-
cement of the case on the docket
of the court without even naming
a date for the hearing of argu-
ments. In asking that the Neelj
case be advanced ami argued on
November lit, Solicitor General
Richards made sure that no de-
cision would be handed down in
that case before election. Necly
