If Taft succeeds in being
president of the whole country,
kshe indicates a desire to be, he
•wall have no use for "my pol
.'CMS.'
The suggestion of Attorney
•^.Icueral R. V. Davidson and his
trailer assistant, Jewell P. Light
<K t, for governor and attorney
y-i neral in 1910, will not, we are
-iire, meet the approbation ol
she corporations that are viola-
t the trust laws. Even the
< ingestion is enough to give
cold feet.
iSssNatoii- elect Root of New
says he is opposed to the
iSxaredt election of U. S. senators
'■teinsuse he has no sympathy
the idea that the legislature
as ■srot competent to represent
people in this matter. The
j^aa&ces are that Root had rather
tfcs&ie his chance with the legis-
:;stnra than with the people. And
ere are others.
I\ Stranger in Garland is such
r.& rarety that whenever Editor
^Hifeford of the News sees one
rjMfch a bale of cotton, he jumps
aii.the erroneous conclusion that
"%4k. aforesaid stranger is from
Mesquite. Why should a Mes
.. suite man take cotton to Garland
wflaen all .during the cotton season
^IStefland people have been bring
««j?oottcm to Mesquite because
s£ the better market it afforded?
'The latest political rumor is
Senator Bailey will soon
3Besign and that Gov. Campbell
Twill appoint Clarance Ousley to
ifflottt the unexpired term, after
"vfeich Ousley will urge the elec
!s£cn of Campbell. All rot. Baile.v
may quit when his term expires
iwrt he will not resign. Ousley
.isM&ht get the office by appoint-
aaent in case of a vacancy, but
.®ei fiber he nor Campbell could
.9*© elected.
The editor who is responsible
for the statement that women
who have nothing on their minds
but hats, unusually buy big ones
ought to have a Carnegie hero
medal for bravery.
The appointment of Judge J.
C. Roberts to the bench of the
new Dallas county district court
will give general satisfaction, we
believe, to the citizenship of the
county, as Judge Roberts made
good, even more so than his
friends expected, while tilling
out the unexpired term of the
late Judge Nash.
H3ov. Campbell is quoted as
n*aving said that if the newspaper
bpb allowed to exchange advertis-
rag space for railroad milage,
:'4w railroads will edit the news-
papers. That is a slander un-
vwortby any man has attained the
office of governor of Texas
—^absolutely without foundation,
llartil two years ago, the news-
E q>ers were allowed this right
: it is a fact that the country
t-jliwss, especially, has always
&raght corporation control in
Hals .state and upheld the hands
"«#f Bogg, 'Culberson and every
«^Bbest governor who has sought
t3©put restraint on the railroads
--Toewl other corporations. The
Kjwuntcy press was all right when
"j&was supporting Campbell for
^oweiaior and urging his election
«m.u.he ground that he represent-
ed thv> Jim Hogg ideas of govern-
mrant-^-toT .the people as against
rlae *3®rportrtions. Not because
vaif .his attitude toward corpora-
tions or his views on the right
►; atfrcontrfcCt, because he withheld
an-ti! after his second in-
i«Vj?erationas govener—the last
♦ithcedie will ever hold, but be-
< nmise he lies played cheap poli-
ftScs throughout his term, a
- mvjority of the press now resent
Hflu": idea that he is in any sense a
•worthy successor of Jim Hogg,
far Hogg was a patriot and a
statesman, whereas Camp-
. afi is -"©h well,Campbell is noth-
JUg more imr less than a peanut
crfitjoinn.
The Dallas Times Herald says
it did not score the Legislature
of Tennessee for passing the
Statewide prohibition bill—that
it merely printed the facts. Yes,
it printed the facts in its news
columns and then commented
adversely on that action in its
editorial columns, basing its
criticism on the fact that the
Democrats of that state had ex-
pressed themselves as against
prohibition and in favor of local
option by the election of Patter-
son for governor over Carmack.
Perhaps the Times Herald ob-
jects to the use of the word
scored," and we therefore
amend by substituting in lieu
thereof the word "criticise."
And notwithstanding its criti
cism of the Tennessee legislature
for going contrary to the will
of the people as expressed in the
election of a local option candi-
date for governor, it is a fact
that the Times Herald prints
from one to half a dozen editori-
als every day giving aid and
comfort to those who would
override the expressed will of
the Democrats of this state as
expressed directly on the issue.
The Mesquiter did not charge
the Times Herald with unfair-
ness to either side in the contest
over the question of submis-
sion in the primary election and
it hereby disclaims any such be-
lief, but it is a fact that the Mes-
quiter and hundreds of other
papers in Texas published col-
umns of anti-submission matter
at so much oer line, and that so
far as we know there was not a
cent available for the publication
of matter for thesubmissionists,
thus giving the antis the advan-
tage in a fight which they lost
but now refuse to abide the re-
sult. Keep the record straight.
I Commoner Clippings.
From Bryan's Commoner:
The supreme court having de-
cided that the interstate com-
merce commission can do every-
thing save something worth
while, the commission wants a
lot more help so it can do it.
One strange thing about all
this secret service business is
that if the president really used
the government sleuths as charg-
ed he should have been able to
refrain from telling congress
about it in a special message.
Just about the time people be-
come so pessimistic as to believe
the world has grown cold and
selfish, along comes something
like that Messina disaster to
prove that generosity and un-
selfishness is growing in pace
with everything else.
The New York World gives a
list of one hundred things Presi-
dent Roosevelt promised to do
and left undone. The World was
wise enough not to undertake
the compilation of a list of things
done that should have been left
undone by the president.
After cougress has appropri-
ated a half-million for the Italian
earthquake sufferers Speaker
Cannon may be expected to bob
up and tearfully explain that it
will be necessary to leave the tar-
iff alone in ordur that the hole in
the national treasury may be
quickly plugged..
Many a so-called good fellow
gets his reputation by lending
more money to his friends than
he gives to his wife.—Ex.
The Secret Of Long Life,
A French scientist has discov'
ered one secret of long life. His
method deals with the blood.
But long ago millions of Ameri-
cans had proved Electric Bitters

living. It purifies, enriches and
aitalizes the blood rebuilds Wast-
ed nerve cells, imparts life and
tone to the entire system. Its
a godsend to weak, sictt and de-

months," writes W. M. Sher-
man, of Cushing, Me., "but
Electric Bitters cured me en-
tirely." Only 50c at all druggists

Side Talks By Burk's Store Boy
In my talk about the collision
of the Republic and Florida a
week ago, 1 said that the wireless
telegraph operator, who stuck to
his post in the face of danger,
was the real hero of the hour. It
seems now that there are a lot of
folks that think the same way
about it. And for that reason a
wideawake vaudeville manager
has gone after this operator and
offered him $1000 a week for ten
weeks to show himself. The name
of the operator is Jack Binns,
and he lives in England. Jack's
answer to the manager, was that
there was nothing awful wonder-
ful about him, and that he wasn't
cut out for the stage. Jack has
made up his mind to spend a few
weeks with his relatives on the
other side of the pond, and the
sight of the dough didn't have no
effect in changing his plan. Aft-
er his vacation, he's going back
to work with the Marconi Com-
pany as plain Jack Binns, wire-
less operator. No doubt Jack
understands his work well, and
maybe some day we shall learn
of some wonderful things Jack
Binns has done for science,which
will add more to his glory than
his appearance on the stage, and
more to his bank than the money
he would receive for it. There
ain't no question but what Jack
is an awful modest fellow, and
feels that he ain't entitled to no
money when he ain't giving noth-
ing but a look at his face in re-
turn. But why couldn't Jack
give an exhibition of wireless
telegraphy, which would be both
interesting and instructive? With
his reputation as an expert in the
business, he would draw7 big
crowds and give everybody value
received for their money. When
a fellow gives value, the people
are satisfied, and he should be
satisfied, too. When a fellow gives
more than value, he must have
some especial motive for so doing.
It ain't because the boss is gener-
ous, that he is giving more than
value for your money to-day. He
is selling overcoats at half price
to force down our stock before the
season gets away. At the rate
we are selling them this morning,
there'll be a big hole in our over-
coat stock when we close tonight.
It ain't because the boss is gener-
ous, that he's going to offer all
the double-breasted black suits
and all the fancy vests we have
in stock at exactly half price for
to-morrow and the day after. It's
because we've got too many. He
ain't going to take no chance on
carrying 'em over. And that's
also why he's making big reduc-
tions in the price of winter un-
derwear, bosom shirts, fancy sox
and a lot of other stuff around
here.

Bring Her With You!
WOMEN know better than men what is good qua-
lity in Cloth. They know a pure wool fabric
when they see it, and they have good taste too
in the selection of fabric, design and color. That is why
we like you to Bring Her With You when you want
to buy a new suit or overcoat. Ask for the International
genuine all wool line, and put the question of worth to
her. International quality can stand the severest test-
aye—the test even of a bargain-hunting lady.
BRING HER WITH YOU.

An admirer has written to the
Express suggesting the name of
Jewell P. Lightfoot for attorney
general in the cabinet of Presi-
dent Taft. This writer asserts
that Mr. Lightfoot and his col-
leagues "have done more trust
busting in a short time than
President Roosevelt with all the
judicial machinery and secret
service in Washington have done
in his two terms." Perhaps Mr.
Taft might do well to act upon
this suggestion.—San Antonio
