THE HESPERIAN IS IN ITS TWEN-
TY-SIXTH TEAR.
A ROSS RIDDEN PARTY.
Throw of! the party yoke, and
the party goggles, and be men. If
the people will do this, they can
soon put to class legislation and can
put in office men who will work (or
the general welfare Instead of l>e-
ing the subsidized agents of Wall
street and other combines against
the public weal.
The above is from the populist
organ iu this county.
Admit that the advice to throw
off the party yoke is good, how
does it sound ct ming from that
paper! It is very much like the
advice of the old crab to his son
to quit walking sideways and go
straight. If there ever was a
boss ridden outfit it is the popu-
lists of Texas.
So much is this the case that one
of their leaders actually made a bar-
gain to'deliver the whole populist
vote In the legislature for a small
consideration. Take it at home.
Talk as much as they may about
democratic trickery in the prima-
ries, yet the fact remains, that
over ,'MMM democrats put in their
ballots iu selecting their ticket for
county offices, and only in one
case was the contest close enough
to have lieen decided by fraud or
trickery and all bauds were satis-
tied with (hat result.
But low alsiut the populist
county ticket f Did the rank ami
tile vote in the selection of their
countv ticket! Those who at-
tended come
the party iu the county had nothing
to say in the matter. There were
no primaries held in the voting
precincts, so as to give the voters
a chance to express their prefer-
ence.
A few leaders pulled the strings
aud the voters danced to their
music. A small ring of managers
run the whole thing and the vot-
ers swallow that which is given
them without question.
The democratic party might be
more successful if its voters were
not so rebellious against l>osses.
But democrats have always kick-
e 1 when the leaders did not j;o the
right way. And they generally
make their kicking-effective. The
advice to throw off the parly yoke
should be given to the populists
rather than to the democrats.
OUR SMALL FARMERS
Cooke county shows this year
its superiority over other places
as a vegetable and fruit raising
country. Let any one visit our
grocery houses, take a 1 ide through
the country and watch the express
business on trains going north
and he will l>e convinced that we
are in it when it comes to veget-
ables and fruits.
We could refer to dozens of peo-
ple who can tell just what this
country will do, and every one of
them is delighted.
Let some one try to buy out
Smith Long or Bassett or G. M.
Smith, or any one of a number of
our people who have l>een trying
it, and see what they will take
for their places.
We doubt if any section in the
Union where land is no higher
than here will make such returns
for the lalior put upon it.
If our people had a shippers'
association of soui" kind so as to
get to the markets on good terms
the tiuck farmers of Cooke coun-
ty would make more on the same
investment than those of any part
of America.
took advantage of this half hour
and had a rousing song service, in
which such old, familar tunes as
••Jesus, Lover of My Soul "
"Nearer, My God, to Thee,"
"Alas, aud Did My Savior Bleed,"
Scatter Sunshine," and so on
were rendered in a manner calcu-
lated to touch the hearts of all and
make each one realize that he was
glad to be there.
Promptly at 8 o'clock Mr. ,T. H.
Bauton of Waco mounted the ros
truin and inaugurated the "in-
spiration service," with the result
that for thirty minutes he had the
vast audience alternately singing
aud praying. This was a pleasing
as well as highly interesting fea-
ture of the service.
Next came the recitation of the
twenty-third Psalm in concert by
the entire audience, followed by
more singing led by George E.
Ivies, the musical director of the
convention.
Rev. F. N. Calvin of Waco then
invoked divine blessing.
Next came, in one grand chorus
of voices from the audience,
"Nearer My God to Thee."
Brother J. H. Bantou then read
the second chapter aud twentieth
verse of Paul's letter to the (litna-
tions, and based a brief and in-
spiriting talk on it, contending
that there was but one true source
of inspiration, and that was the
throne. He predicted a great
meeting and hopeu for much good
to result.
Concluding his talk he called
for eighteen prayers from the aud-
ience, aud for luck seut up the
nineteenth supplication himself.
Then came "There's Sunshine
in My Soul Today" from the
audience.
Mr. K. B. Bishop, next on be-
half of the Fort Worth local un-
ion, welcomed the visitors most
eloquently, dwelling upon the
fact, among others, that it was
here, with but a little handful of
delegates five years ago. that this
great work was inaugurated, and
that it had prospered until today-
it was one of the fixed institutions
of the state, with a membership
bordering close on 10,000. He
laid special stress upon the dif-
ference between the convention
The little one horse organ that
some party leader has under his
thumb is always the loudest in
condemning a "subsidized press."
The man who is on the little fel-
low'* note at the bank is his abso-
lute master, and generally dictates
what he shall say about the shy-
lock mone y lenders and the servile
bought opinions of the press.

tional republican committee is a

Fort Worth, Tex., June 11. — At
• :.i0 o'clock tonight the large audi-
torium of the city hall was occu-
pied by fully 2000 people to wit-
ness and participate in the open-
ing exercises of the sixth annual
convention of the Texas Young
People's Society of Christian Kn-
deavor.
The exercises proper did not be-
gin until 8 o'clock, and Brother

soul is always filled with music,

It is a constant round of care and toil
from which there is no escape. How es-
sential, then, are health and strength, and
yet with how many women these are al-
together lacking. They are tired all day
and unable to sleep at night. In this con-
dition the system will soon break down.
Restore the Strength,
overcome that tired feeling, build up the
system by the use of Hood's Sars&pariila
before it is too late. Tf is great medicine
Is exactly what overworked women naed.
It makes pure, rich blood, creates an ap-
petite, gives strength to the nerves.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Is the Only
True Blood Purifier
Prominently in the public eye today.
Hood's Pills uvV^'SMu:
tnd many others entertained here
this year, contending that all oth-
er bodies had some pecuniary in-
erest to serve, while this had for
its object the betterment of all
mankind.
Concluding he extended the cus-
tomary sincere welcome and hop-
•d that the day was not far dis-
t lit when the fact could be lier-
tlded to the world in thunder
t.uies that "Texas is for Christ."
His address was eloquent aud
e''.cited rounds of applause.
Rev. Homer T. Wilson next
welcomed the visitors on behalf of
ttie pastors aud churches of the
city. His remarks, while brief,
captivated the audience, so beauti-
fully blended was both mirth and
pathos. Concluding, lie paid a
glowing tribute to the 5,000,000
young people who, with upturned
faces to heaven, are daily sending
up to the great white throne a
mighty tilea for the salvation of
mankind and the good of the
world.
Next came the welcome soug
written expresslv for the meeting
by M iss Florence Wilson and pub-
lished in the News of today. Its
tendering elicited rounds of ap-
plause.
Mr. S. R. Ludlow of Sherman
was then introduced and returned
thanks for the generous welcome
extended. Referring to the scene
before him he said: "That only
!he sixth verse of the twenty
fourth Pslani could describe it.
Liberal applause greeted the
speaker's utterances.
Following this was the Texas
state rally soug by I)r. Milton J.
Blein of San Antonio. It was
doubtful if better singing was ever
heard upon this occasion.
During all this time the presi-
dent's chair was vacant and it was
at this juncture that Mr. R. B
Bishop assumed it in the absence
of President William G. Bell.
Mr. W. B. Paddock then made
usual announcements.
Rev. Warner B. Riggs of Dallas
then delivered the convention ser
mon. taking for his text Matthew
xxxvii, 22: "Jesus said unto him
thou shalt love thy (iod with all
thy heart and with all thy sou
and with all thy mind." For
thirty minutes he held his audi-
ence in an eloquent dissertation
upon it.
At this point President Bell
entered and assumed his position,
apologizing for his delay in appear-
ing by stating that he had been
very unwel* all the afternoon and
confined to his room up to the
hour. The Endeavorers greeted
their young president's appear
ance with round after round of
applause which spoke more plain-
ly than words of the effection and
esteem with which they held him.
State Tieasurer j. H. Benson
then served notice noon the body-
that he did not propose to take
up any collection unless such a
course was deemed advisable by
Thursday. He had placed a box
in position for voluntary contribu-
tions. Concluding he said:
"Brethren, there is one thing I do
want you to do, however, and
that is to piay to God on landed
knees before seeking rest tonight
to give the cause of prohibition
viciory iu McLennan county to-
morrow." Cheer after cheer was
mingled with aniens that greeted
tl "s request.
On niotiun of a brother in the
rear of the audience, the secretary
was instructed to wire the leaders
of the prohibition fight at Waco
that they had the prayers of the
convention for success.
President Bell—At early sun-
rise prayer meeting in the city to-
morrow let us humble ourselves
before God and beseech him to
give us victory in old McLennan
on that day.
Aniens trom all parts of the
hall.
President Bell then announced
standing committees as follows:
Nominations—Rev. J. Harvey
Dobbs, Palestine, chairman: J. E.
Adams, San Antonio; Philip F.
King, Austin; Frank Dunn, Corsi-
caua; Mrs. F. R. Leonard, Cle-

ville, chairman: W. B. Paddock,
Fort Worth; Miss Carrie Bradley,

Letters of greeting were read
from National President F. E.
Clark and National Secretary John
Willis Baer of Boston. Both ex-
pressed great interest iu the work
and had many complimentary
things to say of the Texas Eudeav
orers.
President Clark wrote that lie
had been ill since his attendance
upon the Waco convention last
year and that liis condition pre-
cluded his atteudauce this year,
but his prayers were with the
body.
From Aguas Calientes, Mex.,
was a letter from H. M. Sharp,
containing greetings from the En-
deavorers there.
A telegram bringing fcrth rous-
ing "aniens"' was read from Mrs.
Gertrude Eaton. It was dated San
Luis Potisi, Mex., and informed
the body that the first national
convention of Christian Endeav-
orers ever held in the republic of
Mexico was now in session there,
and would hold three days.
As greetings from that conven-
tion to this was cited from Ephe-
sians. One faith, one Lord, one
baptism.
A quartette composed of Messrs.
Bennett, Chase, Short and Foster
next rendered some selections.
On behalf of the local manage-
ment committee President Bell ex-
plained that the heavy rainfall of
today had knocked out all plans,
but that matter would be in ship
shape by tomorrow.
President Bell at 10:30 p. m..
adjourned the body to 9 o'clock
tomorrow.
