Senator A, 1". Barrett of Bonham.

tonio, where he has formed a part
net-ship with State Senator Cham-
bers for the practice of law,
William Jennings Bryan, the great
Commoner, refused to make a poli'i
ral speech on the Sabbath. And in
doing this, if possible, raised
self higher in the estimation of all
good people. Bryan is a great man.
and will make a great president.
Pierre DuBose of Soochow, China,
son of the Rev. Dr. S. H. DuBose.
a miPHlonary of thf PrMbytiji ian
church, bus entoreil Aunt in
at Sherman. Texas schools enjoy a
reputation that extend around the
world.
Candidate Tuft is on the stump
In previous campaigns the Republi-
can orators poked fun at Bryan be-
cause he went on a speaking tour.
Now the Republicans have ^ their
candidate before the people. Funny.
Isn't it? Scared; 'sho are.
The Dallas fair promises to be tIn-
best this year ever. We would l>c
disappointed if it was not that wa>.
Edwin .1 Klest, the president, is a
doer and will make the old t,-.ii
hum. Kiest is at the head of the
Dallas Times Herald, the best eve-
ning paper ill the South.
W. It. Hearst, the big New York
publisher, has unit the Democratic
party, and is throwing hot shot into
Bryan and Haskell. Hearst is always
doing something to keep himself 1 •'
fore the public. We used to ad-
mire him, lint here of late he "has
tore his Sunday clothes with us.
Geo. L. Ingllsh, for many years
connected with the Bonham newspa-
pers, hai become manager of a com-
pany In Sherman, which will publish
a daily paper, reviving the old Sher-
man Register. Ooorge is a llrstciass
newspaper man, a flue fellow, and
we wish him much success.
In our travels through Canada we
found Mr. Bryan extremely popular
in fact, the South, and all people
coming from the South, seem to be
much liked by the Canadians. Mr.
Brvan is as popular In Canada as he
Is In Texas; and everybody will vote
for Bryan, almost, In Texas.
The vitrified brick paving having
been laid all along the west side of
the square, the dirt is being removed
along the south side, preparatory to
paving there. The new paving looks
fine, and the beauty of it is, it is as
good as it looks. The work of pav-
ing the entire square will be pushed
rapidly forward,
Bryan and Taft will both appear
at the same banquet in Chicago on
the evening of Oct. Tth. at a non-po-
ll Heal meeting, and both will make
addresses. This will give the peo-
ple who attend an opportunity to
hoar both men. and to deride for
themselves which one of those great
men Is the better speaker.
Young man. If you cast your first
vote on Nov. 3, vote for Bryan and
the balance of the Democratic tick
et. It Is the ticket of the father*,
and Is the only ticket In the field
that I* for the masses as against the
classes. A good start Is half the
battle. Start your first vote by
casting It for the Democratic party.
He will come in about 300.000 votes
of defeutlng Gov. Thomas Mitchell
Campbell for governor of Texas, and
besides, Just look at the worry and
trouble he will encounter between
now and November 3rd.
The Paris. Texas creamery, which
wns started about two months ago,
nas doing a successful business,
being unable to supply 'he^demand.
Farmers, %dio have been furnishing
cream, state that their rows have
netted them per month each after
paying for the feed and other ex-
penses. McKlnney and adjacent far-
mers take notice. A hint to the wine
is sufficient.
This Is the way It looks to the
Pallas Times Herald: "William V.
Sullivan, once a United States sena-
tor from Mississippi, led the mob
that lynched Nelse Pat ton, a negro
assaulter of woman. Sullivan takes
all the credit, says he is proud of his
work and defies the opponents of
lynch law. There are many ways of
crowding one's self Into the spot
light."
Theodore has come out in a long
letter, telling the American people
to vote for Taft. This >s certainly
nervy of Teddy, If anything. The
American people, we have always
believed, are plenty competent and
able to make up their own minds
and fix out their own ballots. Theo-
dore I Is a "pretty tolerable" good
man. but it seems to us that he has
gone the limit. The Republicans
are getting scared, and they have
good cause to be.

A Minnesota court the other day
in awarding a woman her ili'tii di-
vorce entered, as part of the decree,
an order of prohibition against her
sixth marriage. She then asked
that the decree be vacated, Inn her
latest spouse objected, and the judge
made it permanent, with the re-
mark that his court had other du-
ties besides adjudicating that wo-
man's marital vagaries.
The Democratic party lielie\esj
that Ignorance is a misfortune and
that education is a blessing, and we,
therefore, favor a wise and liberal
financial support of our public
schools and .til our State education-
al Institutions. We favor the adop-
tion of the pending amendment to
Section i, Article VII, State Consti-
tution, relating to public free schools
and commend the support of said
amendment to the voters of Texas.
The recent decision of the Su-
preme Court in the Balrd Independ-
ent school district Invalidates out-
standing bonds of such districts to
the approximate amount of 13.500.-
000. These bonds are held by the
State permanent school fund and
other Innocent purchasers. There
should be no repudiation of any
public debt in Texas. We, therefore,
favor a Constitutional amendment
validating said bonds. Eighth

The law enacted by the last
Louisiana Stale legislature, making
drinking out of one's own flask on
railroad passenger trains a misde-
meanor punishable by fine or im-
prisonment, or both, went into ef-
fect July 20. The law is sweeping
in Its character. It maker, it unlaw-
ful for a person to drink intoxicating
liquors of any kind in or upon any

case of actual sickness. Trainmen
are invested with authority as police

In another column will be found
the names of the Democratic nomi-
nees for all offices, from William
Jennings Bryan for president down,
including county officers, and this
paper will take great pleasure in
supporting each and every one of
them In the general election Nov.
The Daily Courier-Gazette and Week-
ly Democrat-Gazette are strictly
Democratic papers, and believe in
the party of our fathers, headed by
that peerless leader of ihe common-
people William Jennings Bryan.
While several of the county officers
have not seen lit. in their wisdom, to
announce In a Democratic paper like
ours, still we believe that we should
carry their names in our columns
and help to make their light, for the
Democratic party, because in
"union there is strength." While
from strictly a business point of
view, we concede that we are not do-
ing what many papers will do, still,
having always been it "collar"
Democrat working fn s \i-./ii md
out of season for the party's good
we can not leave the names cut c.f
the regular column, just f.n - auso or
a few paltry dollars. Pli v all
good men, regular nomln s of the
party, and we ask every Democrat in
tlie county, district, state and na-
tion, to support them on Nov, 3rd.
Here's a pointer the Collin county
onion growers might give consider-
ation. The cantaloupe growers east
of Denlson organised last year,
agreed on their acreage and con-
tracted for their product, so the crop
was sold before it was planted. They
did not receive a big price. In fart
were advised against making a con-
tract of that kind. They shipped
nlnetceti cars this season. They are
more than satisfied with the results
and next year In this community
tltere will be between 160 and 2uii
acres devoted to this one crop. They
expect to contract their crop again
as they did this season. When their
cantaloupes were ready they were
taken to the railroad track and they
received their money for them -

Hon Taylor McKhea of Fort
Worth, chairman of the State execu-
tive committee of the Independence
League was here Tuesda> to see Hon.
10. W. Kirkpatrlck who recently re-
fused a nomination for governor by
that party, stating that he was not
in sympathy with the League move-
ment and intended to support Bryan
and Kern. Mr. McRhea's object was
to have Mr. Kirkpatrlck make for-
mal announcement of his declination,
to the governor, as provided by law,
so that another name might be sub-
stituted on the ticket.

RA>- DELL FDR THE SENATE.
Hon. II. I*. Mock of Giver.villi' Say*.
That He i* the Logical Mail to
Succeed Sciii lur Bailey. >
Hon. H. IV Mo' Ii, a prominent
Greenville attorney, politician and
all-round good, fellow, is in the city
today, attending court. Mr. Mock is
red beaded, a Che*terHeldian in
manners, and stands fully six feet
in his sock feet, although some of
his friends claim thai he is kin to
the fiuous Jerry Simpson in that,
n pe< ;, He is a fine gentleman, and
an iistuiB politician.
Sneaking of the political outlook
in Texas. Col. Mock said:
"Congressman Choice B. Kandell
would make a line United States
Senator from Texas four years from
now. A man who can whip all the
politicians, and win a light for the
Democracy and common people like
'ie did i'i ihe last campaign, is big
enough and strong enough to repre-
sent the great Common wealth of
Texas 111 the Cpper House of the
Congress, and he is a sure winner if
he will but enter the race. I think
that he is the logical ma.n of ihe en-
tire State to succeed Senator Bailey,
and I believe that the Democrats of
Texas will call upon him four years
from now to do so. His great vic-
tory in this congressional district on
July -"sth. shows conclusively to
those who will get tlx- map and study
It. that Congressman Kandell Is a
stronger man In this district than
any other man In Texas. Kandell is
the biggest man in Congress from
Texas today, and 1 firmly believe
that the Democrats will call him up
higher four years from now."
Col, Mock returned to his home at.
Greenville this evening.

decided what he will do. As he has

er line lie may engage.
