criminals by chance. Some commit

The Important

Seed merchants are measuring
and weighing out packages of
field, garden and flower seeds these
days and it will not be long until

due season.
Dallas had a victim ito heat pros-
tration and death ensued. Dallas
is often warm when Sherman Is
being fanned by prairie-swept
breezes. These perfumes of wild
flowers remind us of the hanging

to enjoy the elixir that prolongs and

Gov. Colquitt has signed the
measure which provides for the
Texas Traction company to absorb
the Denison and Sherman railway.
This is the culmination of the op-
tion the Traction company obtained
two years ago and should mean for
one tiling at least, that the line be-
tween Sherman and Denison will he
kept up to the very beet condition
If your intellect needs exercise,
here is a lesson: What does Dem-
ocracy moan? What tendencies
has it stood for in American politi-
cal history? Why was it the win-
ning party for one definite period,
only to become the losing party for
another? in what way can its pecu-
liar traditions be truthfully applied
to the solution of contemporary
problems? Is there any principle or
underlying tendency in Republican-
ism which distinguishes it from
Democracy? Does the difference in
the parties lie in the greater read-
iness which the Republican Party
has shown to use the powers and
resources of the government to re-
deem what were believed to lie na-
tional responsibilities? This ten-
dency has, perhaps, been Indicated
not only in its attitude toward
slavery, but in its promotion of
agriculture by means of a protec-
tive tariff, and by its colonial policy-
after the Spanish-American war.
Perverted as it* view of legitimate
national responsibilities may at
times have been, it has at least
shown fewer scruples about meet-
ing them. At a time when so many
Democrats might Just as well be
republicans, so many republicans
are considering the possibility of
partial or complete secession from
the party, it is perhaps desirable to
provoke a discussion of the real
meaning of party distinctions. In
our own opinion, the Democrats will
fail again to hold their present ad-
vantage if they hark feebly back to
Ideas which were valuable when
Jefferson uttered them, but are
merely destructive today. Their
only chance is to be more honest
progressive, and devoted to the peo-
ple's welfare than tile Republicans
have been, and equally efficient;
not to bark against the national
government's use of powers which
in this age of telegraphs, telephones,
railroads, and eomtunations of capi-
tal are necessury to its functions

Almost to the point of riot the
British parliament gave to the world
an exhibition of temper when
Unionist member proposed to throw
the nationalists out of the house of
parliament yesterday. There had
been a continuous session of nine-
teen hours and it seemed to disturb
the usual equlibrium of the mem-
bers to the point of rashness, all of
which goes to prove that men are
much alike the world over.

effort* to live in a healthful way, with
the assistance of Syrup of Figs ana

and suffering so common with expectant mothers. It is a penetrat-

McCord of Rusk, has just finished
the compilation of statistics on this
impovtant industry and the results
of his figures furnish evidence that
iron ore is the greatest undeveloped
industry within the state, anil that
there are groat possibilities for mak-
ing this industry one of the lead-
ing sources of the stale's wealth.
Dr. McCord’s report, shows 58,SKI)
acres of iron ore in Cherokee coun-
ty alone with an average of 6,not)
tons |ier acre. At. Mr. Schwab's
price of |.8.09 per ton it represents
in actual wealth $2,826,240,000 and
in the finished products it means
many million dollars more. The de-
velopment of the iron industry has
played an important part in the fi-
nances of the country and lias been
a factor in making a large per cent
of our millionaires and in the de-
velopment of this industry in Tex?,
as, there are great possibilities for
a great source of wealth to the

There is no room for doubt when
so many people of good standing
are anxious to tell their friends of
the great good received front the use
of Root Juice. At tills point many
have been cured or greatly bene-
fitted, of rheumatism, catarrh, in-
digestion, female weakness or some
liver, kidney or stomach trouble. No
wonder one friend Is often ‘heard
advising another to try Root Juice.
If you bloat and belch, if food lays
heavily oil the stomach and pains,
if what you eat does not give you
strength, if you have swimming of
the head, if you are nervous and
your entire system is run down, if
you are restless at. night, and feel
as tired in the morning as you did
when you went to bed, be govern-
ed by the experience of others and
go to the drug store, get a bottle of
Root Juice and take it exactly ac-
cording to directions. We predict
that before you have used one bot-
tle you will be advising your sick
friends to get some of tills wonder-
ful medicine, for Root Juice always
proves all that is claimed for it.
