It makes one tired to hear the
Bailey issue discussed in connec-
tion with the candidates for
governor, Ithas.b.e$n brought
in by partisale? both for and
against hi'n to obscure other
issues. The partisan Baileyites
are for Poindexter a prohibition-
ists or Colquitt are anti-pro-
hibitionists. The anti-Bailey
ites are for Johnson a pro. or
Davidson an anti. It is disgust-
ing! It is politioial bossism
gone to seed. We can not have
proper respect for a candidate
who courts such influence.
We underatand that our friend
Horace W. Vaughan, candidate
for the senate puts in about half
his time trying to convince his
audience that he is the best law-
yer in East Texas and the other
half in defending Cone Johnson
in his race for governor. He
has a perfect >ight to do both
these things. Both contentions
may be correct. The writer is
rather favorable to his idea of stat
utory prohibition. But what have
these things to do with his qual-
ifications for the State Senate.
A man might be in favor of Hon.
Cunyus for governor and still be
qualified for, the State Senate.
It makes no mo*® .difference
who a man favors for Justice of
the Peace in his home precinct.
A man being a good lawyer, is no
guarantee that he would make
a good legislator. We need in
the legislature men of norma1
stamina, honesty and sobriety.
Io other words we need men of
character to make our laws. If
prohibition is the main issue, as
is claimed we should have a man
who is a prohibitionist in prac
tice as well as for political pslf.
If our esteemed District Attor-
ney measures up to this stan-
dard he is worthy of our consid-
eration.
TO THE VOTERS
OF CASS COUNTY
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
FOR ATLANTA, TEXAS
An Ordinance Creating the Office of

April 13th, 1910.
Fellow Citizens:—Owing to the
nerious ailment for which I re
cently had an operation, I am
not able at this time to make as

take tbis means of explaining
same to you. If my condition
vill admit later. I expect to see
ill the voters that is possible. I
regret very much that I can no
keep in the field constantly. I
assure you if you elect me to the
County Clerk's office. I will
give you good service.
Thanks to my friends for the
interest, They are taking in
my behalf.
Yours very truly,
A. M. Gibson.

P fTfie ravages of the poll weevil in
Texas are estimated at millions of dol-
lars, but the mud hole has been a more
costly foe to the producer than the
boll -weevil. The Federal government
has spent over a million dollars in
trying to find a way of eradicating the
boll weevil, but we do not have to
spend money to learn how to eradicate
bad roads—build good ones.
Boll Weevil $1,000,000.
The boll weevil in destroying cotton
decreases production and consequently
increases the price of the remaining
products, but bad roads levy their
deadly toll against the producer and
destroy the value of the remaining
roads. A chain is no stronger than
its weakest link, and a mud hole or
a hill between a farm and town re-
duces the carrying capacity of the
wagon to the level of the bog or
grade.
IE
The improvement of public high-
ways add three times their cost to ad-
joining property, and every argument
that applies to the improvement of
private property will apply with mul-
tiplied force to the improvement of
public property, and especially to pub-
lic highways, as every farmer must
use the public roads.
