The Question of City Improvements-
Jim Haven has published his plat-
form and the tour important propo-
sitions which he favors are tLe pav
mg of Main street, ownership of
water works, a nubway.to the Four’!'
ward, a modern high school build
ing. Anyone can formulate a plat-
form that will meet popular appro-
val. It goes without saying that
nearly every citizen of Denison en-
dorse all of these propositions with
the possible exception of a viaduct
instead of c subway in the Fourth
w«rd. They have been discussed a
long time and no one has questioned
•h« importance so tar as any pub-
lic Impression has been heard. Dr.
Acheson, most assuredly is m favor
of these necessities, and has so ex
pressed himself time and again.
There is no question as to the teed
of these things, but the paramount
question is, can it be done, and how
can it be done. There have been no
more earnest advocates of the pav-
ing of Main street than Councilman
Sugg* ana Mayor Kennedy. Tney
11 gave the subject their earnest study
| tor months, and yet they ran up
against a snag when they attempted
to put their method in operation.
There were legal obstacles, it ap
’peered, that they could not over-
come. Now Mr. Haven jumps up
with the old cry and says “Main
street must be paved.” Has he
*] discovered a way to do this? If so
*! he should give hts scheme to a list
ening public. Here '* another
I question and a very important one.

There is one thing which Mr.
Haven will learn a* be gets older, if
he should make office seeking a pro-
fession, and that is not to lose his
temper. He got wraugnt up to a
high pitch Tuesday night as he de-
nounced* in stentorian tones those
who are opposing him in this cam-
paign, while he sawed the air vigor-
ously. He was especially bitter
against the politicians who he de-
clared wc-r.‘ »li opposed to him, but
who are these pa*ni ns is more
than this paper has been able to dis-
cover, though there are a whole lot
of fellows boosting for Haven who
act just like professionals in this
line. Of course the Gazetteer
comes in for it's share of invective
as that “infamous sheet,” etc., etc
Go on, dear sir, and give it to the
Gazetteer all you want to, no one

Tl ipeech of Dr. Acheson was
in nc tble contrast with that of the
first speaker. He was cool and de-
liberate, he had tacts and opinions
to present that were interesting and
instructive. These two addresses
illustrated clearly the impetu rity
and lack of judgment of the young
and inexperienced man as contrasted

How the Charter Originated.
In his speech Tuesday night Mr.
Haven arrogated to himselt all the
credit ot having formulated the new
city charter for the commission form
ot government. It was “I” who
dratted the instrument, it was “I”
who is entitled to all the credit.
Facts are fact*. Now let us see
what Mr. Haven really did do and
give him due credit. Mr. Haven
first submitted to the citizens’ meet-
ing what he termed an “outline” of
a charter, being a short document
mostly taken trom the old charter,
with such amendments as he deemgri
necessary to meet his private views
and to adapt it to the commission
system. His next work on the com-
mittee appointed to prepare the first
draft ot the charter, and of which we
believe he was the chairman, was to
take his scissors and paste-pot, and
from the old Denison->charter and
Houston charter produce the found-
ation on which to build a new char-
ter. He has a stenographer in his
office (and is to be congratulated on
having business sufficient to justify
luxury), and this stenogrspher
Vut this document into typewritten
form. But when this typewritten*
or mechanical charter, got into thA
hands of the committee ot the whole/
Nat Decker and Judge Pearson in-
ducted into it its most important fea-
tures and gave it life. Every line
of the new charter relative to bonds,
the doing away with a large non-
productive sinking tund, was due to
the foresight ot Mr. Decker. The
substance of the franchise sections
was due to the suggestions of Mr.
Jennings, Pat ToHin, Mr. Halton
and Charley Chapman. The entire
committee was unanimously in favor
of striking out the appointment of
any member of the commission by
the governor. Judge Pearson, Pat
Tobin and Mr. Decker are respon-
sible for the oath of office and the
fixing f the duties of the new
offices,
Mr. Haven did practically all ot
the mechanical work in the buildnig
ot the new charter, but tor one man
to claim all the credit for the mag-
nificent instrument as it lettthe hands
of the committee who devoted a
week ot hard work in its careful
consideration and perfection, is noth
ing less than peraonal egotism.

mands an answer from every candi-
date to define his attitude towards

At the beginning of this campaign
there was a noticeable interval be-
tween the announcement ot the first
candidates tor mayor, and the Her-
ald’s candidate. People waited in
suspense to learn whom the Herald
was going to boost. This interval
is now^Np’counted for. Dr. Acheson
in hif^-jpeecb Wednesday night
show' '/hat Haven was not eligible
until dre day on which he an-
nounced, because be was a tax de-
linquent. The charter prohibits
anyone from bolding an office who
owes the city. Haven’s name ap-
pears in the published list of delin-
q tents for 1905, the last list pub-
lished, and he did not pay his (906
taxes until the penalty was attached.

careless as tbit?

Probably tonight there is a soldier
bov treading hi* lonely beat in the
far distant Philippines, guarding the
safety of the camp, whose thoughts
and wishes and hopes are all cen-
tered on this old town. Leaning
over the rail watching the white-
capped waves on some distant sea,
there is a sailor boy, probably with
a tear in his eye as he remembers
the love of his mother in his old
Denison. I can almost hear him
hum that dear old retrain:
"My heart goet back to Dixie."
Our soldiers and sailors, of course
are only temporarily absent, and
some delighttu! day in the future
will return to their homes with a
rm welcome. But these others,
have gone into the distant cor-
ners of the earth to reside ; why did
they go? Simply because you have
neglected a plain duty ot providing
for thrir continuing here.

A city can be bound in the same
way, so that there is no possibility
tor it to! increase. That is what is
the matter with your city, the
sooner you wake up to the necessity
of casting off these restraining bands,
these influences which have Denison
by the neck, choking ths life out of
her, the sooner you will enjoy the
pleasure of witnessing a revival.
We must have more water; enough
to prevent it from getting stale when
scarce, enough to meet every de-
mand from existing consumers;
enough to meet every requirement
of future growth ; enough more to
leave no doubt in the mind of any
man that we have
ENOUGH.

I was wrong on this water proposi-

Dr. Acheton’s position on the
school book question alone ought to
elect him. The expense of books
in the high school grades is a seri
oils prob’ m and perhaps accounts in
a large measure for the corporal’s
guard of pupils who continue in
school throughout the course, as
compared with J,ie number who
enter the first gr ie. ' Perhaps less
than one-half of one per cent gradu
ate, that is one in two hundred. To
people in moderate circumstances
the expense of books is a burden
and absolutely prohibitive to the
very poor p* pie. In addition to
the heavy Pern for books at ihe be
ginning of the school year every tew
weeks other books are to purchase
at a cost of from 30 cents to a $1
each, and by the end ot the year,
the sum expended is formidable.
Wise people will grasp the relief in
sif»ht and vote for Dr. Acheson
Saturday.
Mr. Thompson of the
Herald.
^oon after the new* was re-
ceived that the new city char-
ter bad been passed by the
1 legislature did you not ask a
certain gentleman to suggest a
suitable man for mayor, and
when that gentleman suggest-
ed Jim Haven, didn't you ex-
claim,’ ‘What, that young
man! He wouldn’t do at all,
and couldn’t be elected,” or
words to that effect? If you
deny this the Gazetteer is
ready to produce the man.
The Gazetteer professes to ques-
tion the loyalty of the owner of this
paper to the town and city as con-
clusive evidence the fact that he is
not an owner ot real estate. If there
is any property on the face ot tbi
earth that is more dependent on the
condition of the town in which it is
located than a newspaper property
the Herald does not know what it
is.—Herald.
One would think trom a perusal of
the above that Thompson was the
owner of the Herald. If that is true
he should haul down his sign. At
the head ot the editorial page is the
following: “The Herald Publish-
ing Co. Publishers.” And the fact
still remains uncontradicted, h' does
not own any real estate in Denison.
An Editor’s Funny Bone.
When Acheson was mavor be
was confronted by a serious shortage
in iunds, due to non-collection of
back taq|*. He drew the attention
of the council to the fact that certain
peraont paying tax^s were con pelted
to send their children to the school
houses in the distant portions of the
city, and across the railway track,
while persons not paying their taxes
had their children comfortably pro-
vided for in the nearby high school
building in the center of the city.
He also drew attention to the fact
that when the fire force made a run
they were frequently compelled to
place guards for the night o-.er the
household goods of people who in
their alarm had carried their prop-
erty into the yard. In seventeen
cases ot this kind occurring in one
month nine ot them were persons
who would not pay the taxes out of
which the guards received their re-
muneration.
He further asked attention to the
fact that a party residing in the
Fourth ward, who was constantly
annoying the police about coming
over to arrest a cow depredating on
his garden, was a man that would
not pay hi* taxes and did Dot help I
to iupport the police.
To properly handle these condi-
tions the mayor asked the appoint-
ment of a committee to take them
under consideration.
This communication to the coun-
cil had the happy effect ot stimulat
ing the collection ot back taxes, so
that he paid off more indebtedness |
than anyone preceeding him, also
enough to enable hit successor to
extinguish $12,000 in bonds, be-
sides leaving money to the credit of
the city in every fi nd, a condition
which had not existed before.
But the qieer testure in connec-
tion with this experience came about
through an editor in Bonham, wno
thought he saw in this communica
lion a recommendation against the
education of non-tax paying chil-
dren, against the extinguishing of
fires, and against the arrest ot burg
lars.
He wrote a funny article, attached
Acheson’* jjicture to it. and it trav-
eled around the world. In Canada,
tbeUnued States, Sandwich Islands,
and even out jn the Pnillipines,
Cuba ar.d Porto Rico, Denison got
the liveliest free advertising ot her
ex^tence. In the meantime the
schools run just as smooth’y as b
fore, the police continued to arr^si
criminals, and the fire force 'X tin-
ued to extinguish confl. :ations,
just as effectively as th^ f/«oplp at
the coming election extinguish
the hopes of those *■ ng a cam

It should be remembered tuat Pat
Tobin is not a party candidate. To
be sure the Herald placed his name
on its ticket, but he had announced
at the solicitation of many citizens
before anyone knew what men were
to be brought out by the Herald.
Mr. Tobin is an independent candi-
date, and belonga to no man or set
of men. He ia not seeking the
office, and it rests solely with the
voters to decide whether or not they
wish to avail themselves of his busi-
expenence, to start the city on
ness
an era of prosperity under the com-
mission form of government. The
Gazetteer believes no better select-
ion could be made and tor this rea-
son urges his election, and this paper
will be disappointed if the returns
Saturday night -do Dot show that a
large majority of Denison’s citizen-
ship have given Mr. Tobin their en-
dorsement.
The Herald believes that the
lrjfioring people of Denison will not
: misled by the ranting of those
ffifno seek to prejudice them against
andidatea proposed to torm Deni-
son’s first municipal commission.
Some people presume that tbe 1- ir-
ing people feel a moral obligation
to oppose any proposition favored
by business people and the Gazkt
tkkr is making a desperate appeal
to this presumed fallacy.
The Herald is very much inter-
ested in the friendship of tbe work-
ing men when it comes to voting,

THE NICKEL STORE
“Where a Nickel Takes the Place of a Dime.”
A per and starting doctrine
in pc.lw '* . as sp-ung by Acheson
m his speech on Tuesday night, to-
wit, that the practice of a candidat }
soliciting votes was wrong. He said
he had never asked a man to vote
for him. He advocated a doctrine,
principle, for which he desired the
support of the people. If they could
endorse that principle, he would like
to have their votes ; but it they were
opposed to the principle, he pre-
ferred they would vote for the other
an’ulate. Voters who have been
inveigled into making promises of
support before they understood tne
questions at issue in all their bear-
ings, should withdraw and prepare
to vote according to their convic-
tions. A candidate has no right to
extract a promise ot support, nor
should the voter be bound by any
promise he has made. No man
who promises controls his own vote.
Every candidate that solicits should
be defeated. Only by this course
can the best men be elevated to
office.
