Hamlin Scdtt, the hero of the
tragedy in whic(h Jeff McLean
and his assassin. Bill Thomason,
died a month ago, expired Wed-

paralyzed from the effect of the
wound he received then. His
de'ath .as'not unexpected, as all

death completes the ' tragedy
Which has resulted in gambling

are poor and have no credit they

go or don't go" is the best motto
for a man who has gloomy pros-
pects for paying. Tt is no'' crime
to be poor (if it was, the editor
of the Tribune would be indicted
at the next session of the grand
jury) but it is criminal to make
fair promises when one knows he
cannot meet his obligations. It
is obtaining goods under false
pretenses. We have ever sym-

The Southern Baptist Conven-
tion will meet this year at Rich-
mond, Va. During the past week
Rev. Dr. J. B, .Gambrell of Dal-
las, corresponding secretary for
the General Baptist Convention
of Texas, forwarded drafts for
$28,000 and $35,000, the one for
home missions, the other for for-
eign missions. Including these
amounts the Baptists in this con-
vention in Texas has subscribed
and paJdapPTOKimately $90,000
luring the past year for the ben
efit of missionary work.
Yesterday's Dallas News con-
tains accounts of two victims of
two victims of the ' 'pistol toter, ' '
one at Hamlin and one at Center,
and both appear to be cold-blooded
murders. Texas is fast making
an unenviable record for wilful
murder and if the ' 'pistol toters' '
were railroaded to the. pen it
mighfrfielp matters some. Bel-
ton News.
The school teachers of the state
should be paid better salaries and
none but comepetent ones em-
ployed. Let the teachers be ex-
perienced and then place a price
on their. work instead of the au-
thorities that employ them.
When the weather does clear
up the roads "around Bartlett are
going to be so rough that folks
with false teeth will be forced to
take them out before starting on
a journey.

kLs.LK'T : TAXATION.
. -V
-fsf : .
Suitably racing; taxes- to de-
fray the expenses, of our govern
ment is theigreatest problem, of
the day. The right and just way
is to enually place the burden' df
taxation on every citizen alike,
regardless of creed, standing or
occupation. This is the problem.
To our minds the only just Way
is for every citizen to render in
his property values at par, so that
the rate can be adjusted accord
ingly. Revenue Agent McDonald
has screwed down the thumb
screw a notch or so in order to
cause the tax dodger to come out
with the goods and 'as a result a
mighty howl has gone up. This
has caused a higher valuation to
be placed on all classes' of .prop
erty except cash and which must
be rendered at full valuation.
This will show ultimately a vast
increase of Texas wealth and the
result will be a lover rate. Or
to simplify, it takes just so much
money to defray the expenses of
the goyernment and the rate will
b6 -adjusted accordingly. The
current impression prevailing is
that with the increased means of
taxation the people will be im
posed upon by an autocratic or
extravagant government. Wo
should not so rate our law-making
arid lawenfbrcing functionaries
until we have just cause to do rid.
If this law-making and law-en
forcing paraphenalia of our state
begins to indulge in the follies of
Louis XIV of France we will put
on our sheep smilins to gather
and demand an auditing system
for the state that will run down
the perpetrators and justly deal
with them, To place Jan intoler-
able'tax on pur railroads. and cor
porations and let other, citizens
lightly plod along is not just or
to place a heavy valuation on the
citizens at large and let corpora
tions' lightly along is equally
unjust. The idea is to have all
pay their equal and just part of
taxes, whether he be worth $100
or $1,000,000. In this lies the
isssue. The best intelectuality
of the state is brought to bear on
this very point and thus far, from
what we are able to learn, it is
not yet equal to the emergency.
It is hoped that the rise in valu
ation and the equalizing boards
through out the country will so
lower the rate that none of us
will be hurt. We do not stand
one instance for a fat pocket of
ficer with little doing and will
kick out of the harness and break
a trace at such lambasted folly.
Farmers' Union Notes.
The cotton warehouse isn't
worth a continental red cent un-
less it has some cotton in it. Ar-
range to store part of this sea-
son's crop. Begin to arrange now.
How about the odd corners that
ought to be bringing on a good
fruit or pecan tree? Have you
neglected it until now? If so,
get busy at once. There is yet
time for planting.
Don't get so infernal busy that
you will not have time for the
boys to go a-fishing occasionally
this spring. Fishing is good for
the boys at times, and it is also
good for a man who is in the
habit of loafing too much around
town. . Fishing is a seasoning
only, however, and it, is not fit
for "the main thing" in life.
While the preparations are go
ing on this spring, don't forget
the pig"crop. In proportion to
cost of production, the pig crop
is the most prontame on the
place. Pigs and poultry ought
to be raised on every farm in
this country, and it is not much
of a farm where you do not find
these two mortgage lifters do-
ing d good deal of the business
of the place. s .
What has become of the old-
time farmer' who always had a
few stands of bees on the place?
'Way back yonder when strained
honey could be had for seven
cents the bee was a constant
worker on the farm. Now the
price of honey is away out of
