BRYAN STRIKER BaW
Ths week's Commoner Is a Uttle
caustic about the way some of his
oldtime detractors are still saying
things, anything but kind, about
him. He denies that he la endeav-
oring to dictate to his party, but
feels that he is capable of advising
with Its leaders.
Writing in the third person .Mr.
(Bryan says:
"Mr. Bryan's bodyf* politically
speaking, is scarred all over by the
knives that have been wielded by the
representatives of plutocracy inside
of the democratic party and out-
side.
‘He has made three campaJgns,
and lg every one of them he has
had to meet treachery within the
py.ty as well as assailants from
without. He has had to conduct, his
campaigns through committeemen,
some of whom were in league with
the opposition and in secret corres-
pondence with the enemy.
"But he has found the heart of
the party sound. He has: found the
rank and file of the party true. To
this multitude of democrats uncor-
rupted and undefiled he owes what-
ever strength ho has.”
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
More school room will soon be
provided for the children of Sherman.
Cotton is king and it looks like
we are to be favored with a bumper
crop this year.
About the best news items chron-
icled these days are the June wed-
dings and they are numerous.
The Old Settlers are coming again
in a few weeks to visit Sherman and
the Old Settlers’ Park. They are al-
ways welcome.
When a town is busy overhauling
store buildings, making new store
fronts, and modem awnings, like
Sherman is at present, it is safe to
tell it out that something is doing
worth while.
One of the conditions of the peace
agreement in Mexico was that the
press should not be hampered. Ma-
dero has already declared that this
promise must be kept literally. Un-
der I)laz, no one could tell the truth
about his administration. For trying
it hundreds of good people were
thrown into Jail and died in prison.
Diaz failed to see that this would
bring about his downfall. The truth
of It Is the old man In the last twen-
ty years and over lias been so dicta-
torial that no one could do anything
with him.—Peoria Star.
China will back up her demand
for a few million dollars as indem-
nity for the lives of three hundred
of her subjects killed In Mexico and
a battleship has been sent to carry
the gold and silver back to the land
of the flowery kingdom.
Former Gov. Tom Campbell and
our state senator, Robert Cofer, of
Gainesville, will speak In Dallas next
Tuesday night at the Majestic
theatre. It Is needless to say that
‘‘other issues” as Gov. Campbell
termed his remarks on statewide at
New Boston lately, will have due at-
tention by these gentlemen.
There will be quite a number of
picnics over the country on and
about July 4 and the aspirants to
congress as well as would-be orators
will soon be burning oil at nigjht pre-
paring their pieces or rise early and
hie to the woodland dell and pearly
brook, “far away from the madding
crowd” to try their voices and learn
how to sling their arms and get real
magnetic.
Castro, the exiled president of
Venezuela, Is out on a ship sailing
the German flag, which he has no
right, and is to be apprehended on
this side as It is thought he has evil
designs on his native land and coun-
try.
UHHJHTIANITY AT WORK.
The following dispatch is worth
reading: “A scheme to outwit pro-
fessional loan sharks will be put Into
operation by a general society and
applied Christianity which will be
formed by the ministers and laymen
of the Christian churches in St.
Louis, with headquarters at t.ie
First Christian church, 3135-Locust
street.
"Resolutions approving the plan and
appointing a committee to make the
First church a great Institutional
plant, were passed by the ministers
of the fourteen Christian churches
at a meeting at the Christian Pub-
lishing company.
"The society will have two classes
of members, the beneficiary, 6r those
who will receive the benefits of
the Institution; and the benevolent,
or those who aid in its support with-
out participating in the benefits).
The fact that all pay into the mem-
bership .fund will relieve the "better
fjts front being classed as charity.
|The fund thus created will be
used by the society much after the
'order of the lodges ia relieving the
sick and distressed in loaning money
without interest to those temporarily
|n need and for providing education,
religious and social advantages"
This is good news. The churches
are not doing the work they could
do and ought to do. The applica-
tion of Christianity to life is: the
great need today and it is gratifying
to see the work taken up in a prac-
tical way.—Bryans Commoner.
SAFETY OF HONEST WEALTH.
Editor Democrat:
In the press recently appeared a
report of an address by Hon. Jake
W'olter* In which he charges In ef-
fect that the pending statewide pro-
hibition campaign was instigated by
Jno. D. Rockefeller , through the
Anti-Saloon league in order to di-
vert public indignation In Texas from
the Standard Oil Company. Being
secretary of the organization that
started tbls.Jthlng, I have Inside In-
formation concerning It, and I thin#
In view cf the aforesaid publication,
that your readers are entitled to
the fftets. Hence this communication,
I think it ought to have the same
publicity that was given to Chairman
Wolters’ slanderous charge.
During the Christmas holidays,
1907, the executive committee of the
Texas Local Option Association met
In annual session. Being convinced
that the time had arrived to enlarge
the "locus" in the war upon the
liquor traffic In Texas, they Instruct-
ed me, as their secretary, to Invite
representative friends of temperance
throughout Texas to a conference to
consider the advisability of Inaugurat-
ing a movement for statewide prohi-
bition.
1 sent out the Invitations. 1 sent
no Invitation to Jno. D. Rockefeller,
and there is no reason to believe
that he even 'heard of the meeting.
I know that these who Initiated the
movement did not even think of Mr.
Rockefeller or of his standard Oil,
The one thing in mind was the btwi-
Ishment of the liquor curse fro:
Texas and Invitations were sent on
•‘to those who were thought to be in-
terested In that one thing.
This conference was held In Dal-
las Jan. 16, 1908. I was secretary of
the meeting and have the minutes
before me. Mr. Rockefeller was
not there In person nor by proxy.
Mr. H. H. Halsell, .president of the
Texas Local Option Association, call-
ed the meeting to order and presid-
ed until the conference could elect
Its own officers. The Anti-Saloon
League as an organization had noth-
ing to do with It, but even If It had,
the Texas Anti-Saloon league is as
independent cf the Anti-Saloon
league of Ohio, ns the Baptist State
Convention of Texas is of the Bap-
tist State Convention of Ohio. That
Is each Is absolutely Independent of
the other. And I am sure that all
the money that Jno. D. Rockefeller
hua ever contributed to the Texas
Anti-Saloon Teague could bevut into
the hollow of a hen’s tooth
1 hud the honor of moving in that
convention "that. It Is the sense of
this conference that the Thirty-first
legislature be asked to submit to a
vote of the people a constitutional
amendment prohibiting the liquor
traffic In all Texas." After vigorous
discussion, this resolution prevailed
unanimously and as Mother Goose
would gay, "that la how the trouble
begun." This brief statement of the
actual beginning of the spending
statewide prohibition campaign
ought to make it clear to any one
who really wants to know the truth
and believe it, that this Standard Oil
ghost is a creation of Chairman Wel-
ters’ over-stimulated imagination and
is therefore utterly unworthy of a
passing notice.
Why doesn’t Chairman Wolters
quit conjuring up imaginary "bug-
gers” of this sort and quit prating
about Irrelevant side issues such as
Standard Oil, "i.rcal self-govern-
ment," and "Perfected ktcafe option,"
which haR been perfected in spite of
the determined opposition of Wol-
ters' crowd and stand up like a man
and face the simple "Issue-Joined"
and affirm that his clients, "the sa-
loons, ought to be allowed to live
because of the good they will do."
If he can not establish that proposi-
tion, his clients, the Falcons, ought
to die and they will die. Wte charge
that they ought to die because of
the evil they do and we are going to
make out our case unless he meets
the Issue squarely.
"Every trw> that bringeth nol
good fruit, small be hewn down,
mold John the Baptist. And the
righteous citizenship of Texas wito
their ballot axes are going to hew
this old saloon tree down, unless
Chairman Wolters can demonstrate
that the Savior was wrong when he
declared that "an evil tree aannot
bear good fruit unless he can
convince the voters of Texas that
this saloon tree which never has
borne good'fruit, is going to do the
impossible thing: of bringing forth
good fruit ii\ spite of its evil na-
ture.
Quit chasing .lack-o’-Lanterns,
Jake, and talk to the point. Fhow
the people of Texas the good fruit
your saloon trees will bear if allow-
ed to live, else they are going to
get cut down, July 22, as eumberers
of the ground.
Yours for a saloonless Texas,
H. A. IVY.

Honest wealth needs no guaranty
of security In this country. Property
rightfully acquired, does not beget
fear—it fosters independence. Prop- j
erty that Is the fruit of plunder feels
insecure. It is timid, it Is quick to
cry for help. It is ever proclaiming
the sacrednesq of. vested rights. The
thief can have no vested rights in
stolen property. I resent the assump-
tion that the great wealth of this
country is only safe when the mil-
lionaires are on guard. Property
rights are not the special charge of
owners of great, fortunes. The am-
ple power of the constitution is the
everlasting bulwark of honest prop-
erty rights.-—Senator R. M-. La Foi-
