Congressman C. B. Randell
is a sprinter from Sprintersville.
Every election he has opponents,
but they all look alike to him.
We are all for Colquitt now be-
cause we are Democrats.
On last Saturday the county
clerk in Dallas issued license to
marry to Mr. Bush and Miss
Rose. Thus a rose became a
rosebush.
The fame of Jack Johnson
seems to havecompletely eclipsed
that of Booker T. Washington.
The latter hasn't been heard
from in a long time.
The Rockwall County Times
says everybody, especially the
successful candidates, seems
rtconciled to the results of the
election. The Times' assumption
as to the successful candidates
appears quite logical.
Having been nominated for
county tax collector by the Re-
publicans and for constable of
this precinct by the party Pro-
hibitionists, honors for our good
friend, S. S. Connor of El am
seem to be coming thick and
fast.
The people in Dallas county,
outside the city of Dallas, are
getting a much desired rest from
politics, in which respect they
are more fortunate than the peo-
ple of Dallas, where a campaign
is on to recall two members of
the school board.
The biggest liar in Texas is
the San Antonio correspondent
of the Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal who gravely informs the
readers of that paper that either
Poindexter or Johnson will be
put up as the prohibition candi-
date for governor against Col-
quitt at the November election.
Judge V. W. Grubbs, whose
self-given title, "The father of
industrial education in Texas,"
has been worn threadbare, has
written to the Dallas News, ex-
plaining how it happened and
how it might have happened if
. Judge Grubbs and J. H.
Webster are two men in Texas
who can come nearer telling how
things ought to be done and then
make the poorest showing in
doing anything themselves. We
Hike to hear from men who do
things but these fellows who
never do anything but talk, make
us tired. Please, Judge Grubbs
and Mr. Webster, go 'way back
and sit down.
T. N. Jones of Smith county
is a delegate to the Democratic
state convention—from Johnson
county. T. N. is a popular man
where he is not very well known.
With a number of its main-
stays laid out by insurgents and
the prospects of the Democrats
capturing the next Congress,
the stand-pat Republicans have
little to feel good over.
If the worst comes, we may
console ourselves by the fact
that O. B. Colquitt looks healthy
enough to last two years.—Dal-
las Times Herald.
Yes, but GOVERNORS SOME-
TIMES DIE. That's all.
THE BIN6VILLE BU6LE
The Leading Paper of the County
Bright, Breezy, Bellicose, Bustling
Two years ago the people vot-
ed for submission but the legis-
lature turned it down. This year
they voted still stronger for sub-
mission and turned down some
legislators who disregarded the
wishes of the people.
J. F. Bradford has resigned
the position of business manager
of the Grand Prairie Texan and
purchased the Oak Cliff Eagle.
Mi. Bradford is a splendid news-
paper man and can make the
Eagle soar if anybody can.
The Mesquiter editor owes to
the newspaper men of Dallas
county—the men who guide the
destinies of the country weeklies
—a lasting debt of gratitude for
their loyal support and for many
courtesies during the campaign.
They are unquestionbaly the fin-
est bunch of fellows on earth.
Practically everybody un
derstood at the beginning of the
campaign that the race for coun-
ty attorney of this county was
between Clark and Pierson
Louis Wilson, who also made the
race, though far behind the other
two, has no reason to feel cast
down. He is a very young man
nrtrl Tpdo n, much better show-
ing than did Dwight L. Lewelling
the first time he ran for this of-
fice. And the same may be said
of Mr. Lewelling in his race for
congress. Both are very young
and they may be heard from
again.
It has been suggested that
when he assumes the duties of
Governor next January, Mr. Col-
quitt may appoint John L. Worth-
am as his (Colquitt's) successor
as Railroad Commissioner of
Texas. Mr. Wortham may be a
good man for the place, but it
has always puzzled some people
to figure out how it was that Mr.
Wortham, who was financial
agent of the penitentiary system,
ran the state iron industry at a
loss, and then after he got out of
office, offered to lease the plant.
Perhaps, however, \^hen the
question is put up to Mr. Worth-
am, he can explain it satisfactor-
ily, and he ought to have that op-
portunity before he is criticized.
The News has organized an
anti-slander political club for
1912. Its platform will be to
ignore the candidates who vilify
their opponents and support
those who present their claims
in a gentlemanly way. The ad-
mission fee is nothing per year,
and all voters who believe in
clean politics are eligible to mem-
bership.—Garland News.
The Mesquiter deplores the
tendency of some candidates to
run for office on the demerits of
their opponents and its editor
eschewed that kind of politics in
the recent campaign. But some-
times, a good man who desires to
make the race for office on a high
plane, is lied on in such a manner
that he is compelled to defend
himself and in proving the
stories on himself as lies, proves
that somebody lied. What will
the News' anti-slander club do
then?
As editor and prop of the Bing-
ville Bugle we have been thinking
seriously of running for the leg-
islature for several years back
and the way we look at it there
ain't no use in putting off this
political preferment no longer—
if we was to put it off too long we
might be too old to run, or for
that matter the Grim Reaper
might come along and put a stop
to our political ambishions, who
knows?
We have never asked for any
political laurals in the past and it
would seem that oar constituents
owes it to us to send us at least
one term to the Legislature, sim-
ply to show that they appreciate
what we have did for this con-
gressional district as editor and
prop of the Bingville Bugle. We
have moulded publick opinion in
Bingville for lo these many years
for the benefit of them as ain't
got no publick opinion of their
own—we have chronicled the
births and marriages and soshial
evbnts faithfully and without fear
or favor—we have set up column
after column of free notices for
the church and have put folks
name into the Bugle week after
week, when there really wasn't
any necessity or excuse for so
doing, being as they didn't do
anything to deserve having their
names put into the paper—we
have even said nice things about
certain of our subscribers who
have been called hence, owing us
anywhere from $15 to $25 on
back subscriptions, which we
didn't get in this world and don't
expect to get in the next.
The reason we have waited
from year to year without men
shioning our ambishion to go to
the legislature, is that we thort
perhaps the office would be thrust
upon us. However, we have
come to the conclusion if any
thrusting is to be did, we will
have to did it ourself. If any-
buddy has thrust any political
office at us, it has been when we
wasn't looking. It is said that
the office should seek the man in
stead of the man seeking the
office. The office hasn't seemed
to seek us any, so we have about
made up our minds that if there
is auy seeking done, we will have
to seek it. The chances is if we
was to wait for the office to seek
us, it would come after us when
it was too late. Hope may burn
eternal in the human breast, as
you might say, but eternity is
too long to wait.
If we would go to the legisla-
ture for a term we calkilate that
we could keep the Bugle on her
feet for a spell longer with the
emoluments of office. We would
also pledge ourself to perform
our duty as a congressman to the
best of our several abilities. We
would endeavor to have passed
such laws as would benefit the
residents of Bingville and the
surrounding country and would
work night and day for home in-
terests. We would try to have
laws passed to prevent automo-
biles from passing through our
midst so fast and would never
lose a opportunity to say a good
word for Bingville as a desirable
site for the locashion of manu-
facturing industries.
If you think we are entitled to
your suffrage, kindly give us
same. When the time comes for
us to announce our candidacy,
we shall use the columns of the
Bugle to boom ourself into office
and will also use this publi-
cashion to puncture the boom of
our opponent, whoever he may
be. We trust that you will not
come to any hasty conclusion
about who you will support for
congress from this district at the
next elecshion and that in the
end you .will conclude to support
us.

secshion.

magazine section ol a newspaper, '

Florence, medical director of the

of this paper was recently nom-

Florence evidently thought this
appropriate. He also sent his

A WOMAN'S GREAT IDEA.
Is how to make herself attrac-
tive. But without health, it is
hard for her to be lovely in face,
form or temper. A weak, sickly
woman will be nervous and irrit-
able. Constipation and Kidney
poisons show in pimples, blotch
es, skin eruptions and a wretch-
ed complexion. But Electric Bit-
ters always prove a godsend to
women who want health,, beauty
and friends. They regulate
Stomach, Liver and Kidneys,
purify the blood; give strong
nerves, bright eyes, pure breath,
smooth, velvety skin, lovely com.
plexion, good health. Try them

A Visit to the K. of P. Home
at Weatherford,
The Mesquiter editor went to
Weatherford Thursday of last
week, to place in the Pythian
Widows and Ophans Home, at
that place, John and Robert
O'Callaghan, sons of the late Dr.
John O'Callaghan.
The home is situated on a
beautiful elevation, surrounded
by native oak trees, about two
miles east of the city of Weath-
erford. The building proper is
a two story and basement mod-
ern structure of gray brick and
stone. It is a handsome and well
designed building and to say
that it is a splendid home is put-
ting it mildly.
There are two neat cottages on
the premises, one of which is oc-
cupied by the man employed to
look after the farm and the other
by the engineer. There is also
a nice barn on the place. There
are about 200 acres of land be-

PHILLIP D. ARMOUR, the great multimillionaire Meat
King first saved one hundred dollars from his earnings
on the farm. He went from New York to California,
there he got $5.00 a day for digging ditches. He still
SAVED—saved a few thousand dollars. The first sav/
ing was the seed from which his vast fortune grew.

longing to the Home. About
half of this is in cultivation and
the rest is in pasture. The crop
consists of corn, cotton, sor-
ghum, tomatoes and peanuts.
The home is well furnished
throughout and is equipped with
sanitary closets, hot and cold and
shower baths, school room,
music room, chapel, library and
reading room—in fact almost
everything to add to the con-
venience and comfort of the in-
mates.
At present, Mr. and Mrs. Rob-
ert L. Krigbaum are superinten-
dentand matron,respectively,and
it is with regret that we learned
that they are to leave Sept.
1, because the practical manner
in which they have systemized
everything, the scrupulous clean-
liness everywhere appare:if ".rd
the affection with which they are
regarded by the children would
indicate that they are the right
people in the right place. We
trust that Prof. E. T. Kemp of
Dallas, who succeeds Prof. Krig-
baum, will demonstrate his abili-
ty to govern the home properly,
but from our observation, we
cannot see how he can be expect-
ed to do any better than the pres-
ent management. Prof. Krig-
braum, will resume teaching, as
principal of one of the city
schools ot Weatherford, and we
are sure that he and his good
wife will take with them -the af-
fection of the children they have
cared for and the good will of
the members of the order.
There now about fortv-one
children in the home and they
are a fine looking set of young
sters. The fact that they are
children of men who were mem
bers of the order is conclusive
evidence of good birth, and the
splendid Home provided for them
with the instruction and training
given them, is calculated to make
useful men and women of them.
