Gov. Campbell next year. It is
claimed that/he is a friend of the
farmers. But we imagine that
his supporters in this move will

the world are those whose toes
are always out for somebody to
step on—and some body is al-

look a little deeper into thier
own hearts and learn a humila-

as much as they imagine it does;
and then take in their toes.—Ex.

The Enterprise predicts that
the anti-pass law will be found
so obnoxious and so full of incon-
sistencies that if the courts do
not render it useless the very
men who passed it by their votes
will repeal it at the next 'session
of the legislature.— Cleburne En-

Hardly. The "very men who
passed it" will not be there at
the nextjsession. unless it be a
called session, and the governor
is not going to call a special

A report was recently sent out
from Austin to the effect that
members of the Texas National
Guard had got away with proper-
ty of the regulars to the amount
of several hundred dollars and
that some of the property had
been located in Houston and
Dallas. The company comman-
ders in Houston have published
statements declaring that the re-
port is false as to their companies
having any of the property. It
is now up to the man who sent
out the report to make good or
retract.

And the press" loss wouid be
the nation's gain.
A man who will stand on the
street and make remarks about
ladies passing is liable to cause
trouble, not only for himself, but
for some irate husband/ father
or brother, who might take a
fancy shot at the remarker. or
give him a sound thrashing with
a cow hide. Such things some-
times occur.

river and scores of other greatj
public imprvernents owe much to |
its influence. At the Colorado'
sessions of 1901 was formulated
the bill for a Department of Com-

[endorsed by the National. Every
great public measure affecting

The plot is said to afford a range
and depth for an expressisn of
Miss Neville's talent, which few
other roles are strong enough to
offer. Saenes of the strongest
heart interest abound through-
out the play and a lively vein of
comedy furnishes mirthful
amusement for all. Managers
