Instrumental in doing a great work

With splendid prospects. An organ-

The steel mill people In the
Birmingham district ore endeavor-
log to put the thumb screws to Con-
gressman* Underwood, who Is chair-
man of the ways and means commit-
tee and force him to recede from
his position in placing some of the
steel product items on the Canadian
free list. Shut downs are being em-
ployed to Impress him with the im-
portance of protecting the steel
trust. This all looks like the peo-
ple will be berefitted by the recip-
rocity agreement and that the rob-
ber dividends to the steel trust will
be cu-t down some Underwood can-
not afford to desert the masses and
heed the Importunities of the special
interests and if he does he fails to
Represent the national democracy.

Tills picture is good In two respects, that it shows tree culture and
stretch of cement sidewalk. It could be made much prettier and no
douht will, when it Is paved and the curb line is put in There are
several kinds of paving materia) suitable for residential streets and
less expensive than brick and not as noisy when traffic is passing.

MOTHERS’ DAY MAY 14
Proclamation Issued by Governor Fixing the Date
“I* I|!1S lM ,,n suggested that Sunday, the 14th duv of May, he desig-
nated throughout the state u3 ‘Mothers’ Day,’ and the governor of
Texas has been asked to Issue Ids proclamation recommending Its ob-
servance as such throughout tile commonwealth.
” ’Mother’ is the sweetest word in the English language; she Is
the sweetest and dearest friend to all human race. On this Goad Fri-
day I am reminded that she was the last at the cross and the first at
tiie tomb of the Redeemer. As we go about our daily labors, if we ac-
complish them with honor and credit to ourselves we always have the
untiles, encouragement and plaudits of mother. If we meet with, mis-
fortune or fall in error and sin, she is the first to come to our rescue
witli sympathy and love: in sickness she bathes our fevered brow
watches over us through the vigils of the night and encourages us to
lio|)e wilh a mothers kiss: in death she showers her heart’s tears of
love upon us: tn our wrongdoing she forgets our injustice to her and
pours out her soul of love sympathy. We can not honor mother too
mile , if was at her knee that we learned the great principles of truth
truth and justice.
’”1 he following, written hv a tramp is not out of place-In this pro-
clamation:
‘'Near the camp fire's flickering light.
In my blanket bed I lie,
(lazing through.the shades of night,
At the twinkling stars on high;
O'er me spirits In the air
Silent vigils seem to keep
As I breathe my childhood's prayer,
‘Now I lay me down to sleep.'
“Sadly slugs the whip-poor-will
In the boughs of yonder tree:
Laughingly (lie mountain till
Swells the midnight melody
l oomen may be lurking near,
In (lie eanvmi, dark and deep;
l.o, I breathe on Jesus' ear,’
“I pray tiled, Lord, my sou! to keep.'
'Mid the stars one face I see -
fine the Savior called away
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near
In tIlia lonely mountain brake;
Take me to her, Savior, dear
If 1 should die before l wake.’
<•
“Fainter grows the flickering light,
As each-ember slowly dies:
Plaintively th© birds of night
Fill the air with saddened cries;
Over me they seem to cry,
’You may never more awake.’ •
Do, 1 lisp, ‘if I should die,
i pray thee, Lord, my soul to take.’
“Now 1 lay me down to sleep,
1 pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep;
If 1 should die before 1 wake,
I pray thee, Lorj, my soul to take.
«
“The love and kindness of a true mother is the greatest of our bless

long, Sunday, May 14, and at noon on that dav let every citlztfn rich

tramp's poem quoted above, which we all learned at mother s knee for
the sake of mother's love for you.

PERSONAL LIBERTY.
With an executive official the
question should not be whether the
law is a good law or nof, but to
enforce it as he finds it. Those in-
terested In having the law violated
set up the specious plea that It In-
terferes with personal, liberty, it
is no more an interference with per-
sonal liberty than any law that re-
|strlcts the acts of men in accordance
[with the rules of civilised society,
i If one would like to sop men whose
Ipersonal liberty has been interfer-
ed with, he can go to the jState pent-
jtentiary and there find them In

A NOBLE RECORD
/
HAN JACINTO DAY.
In 1836 the Texas army, under
Sam Houston, engaged Santa Anna
near Harrisburg on what is now
known as San Jacinto battlefield.
Th© massacre at the Alamo and
the incidents at Golaid had been
made known to the soldiers under
Houston only a few days. Houston's
army of 783 surprised and routed the
Mexican forces numbering twice as
many and Santa Anna was captured.
There were 630 killed and 208
wounded on the Mexican side. The
Texans lost eight killed and 25
wounded. Independence for Texas
followed.
Today all over our state we cele-
brate San Jacinto day as a State
holiday. In some of the cities elab-
orate exercises are had. San Antonio
Houston and Huntsville have elabor-
ate programs. At the latter place
the splendid monument to Houston
is being unveiled. W. J. Bryan is
the orator of the occasion and ex-
cursions were made from all parts
of the state.
SKETCHES OF
NINETEEN NEW SENATORS |
NO.
♦ ------—♦
Henry F. Lippitt, the new Rhode
Island senator, will be the only re-
cruit to the rapidly dwindling stand-
pat old guard. He is a multi-mil-
lionaire cotton manufacturer and
a noted amateur yachtsman. Aid-
rich, rather than Rhode Island, elect-
ed him, for when Aldrich decided to
retire, he picked Lippitt to sqccebd
him.
„V
An attempted rebellion, headed
by Judge Li Baron B. Colt, hardly
get started. Rhode Island's ancient
system of "rotten boroughs," which
gives a country village and a popu-
lous city one member of the legisla-
ture each, makes this sort of ik>1-
ities possible for Aldrich.
Lippitt is credited with writing
the eotion schedule in the Aldrich
tariff law, a schedule denounced
more bitterly than the wool sched-
ule. Lippitt rushed to Washington
when tiie cotton schedule reached
Aldrich's attention; they were to-
gether for several days, and then
■Aldrich announced the provis-
ions.
The Lippitt family settled In
Rhode Island in 1638, made money
from the start, and clung to it. Hen-
ry F. Lippitt, born in 1 856, went
through Brown university, then
abroad, and his father made him
superintendent of a cotton mill,
when he dropped study. The man
mastered the business, both in ar-
tisan and manufacturing side. He
interested himself at once in the or-
ganization of a lobby of New Eng-
land cotton men to control tariff
legislation.
He has led this effort since 1889.
Married in 1881, lie has two sons
and two daughters. He has owned
and sailed many famous yachts and
represented the New York Yacht
club on Shamrock, t, in Lipton’s
find fight, for the cup. In appear-
ance he curiously resembles Elihu
Hoot. St. Louis Post Dispatch.
TO GET NAME BN 1MPKR
Fame people like to see their
name in this darned paper except
there Is ,a pardonable pride In the
wish if the name is used to some
good purpose, but there seems to be
another class a writer, unknown to
the Democrat, tells about, like this:
The next lime you feel like say-
ing, “Everybody in town gets tlieir
name in this darned paper except
me,” stop and think a moment and
see if you have done anything on
which tiie editor Is under any obli-
gation to base a paragraph about or
concerning you. Have you built a-
new house; donated any sum of
money for the upbuilding of the
town? Have you started a business
enterprise or any movement for the
public good? Have you been born,
got married or died? Have you "en-
tertained'' or given other social
functions and Invited the editor, or
other members of hfs famllv? In a
word, if you wish to be "famous,”
do something! Of course, if you are
a dend one” the paper might now
and then put an item to the effect
that "Old Grouch" is still growling
around the streets, but that would
not be news. Do something and
cackle and you’ll get your name in
the paper all right,
Of many hundreds of thousands of cures forms a well sustained basis for
every claim put forth by the makers of Dk. PlJtRC Iv’S GOLDEN MEDICAL
DISCOVERY as a remedy for many of the troublesome affections which afflict
mankind; yet it is not extolled as a “cure-all” by any means. No extravagant
.promises are flaunted before the public to arouse false hopes in the afflicted.
Your neighbors probably know of some of its many cures; ask them.
Through strengthening and arousing Ih ? stomach, liver and
bowels Into vigorous action, digestion Is &ipwmoted\ wlterebf
tbs blood Is enriched and purified, disease•produoing bac*
teria destroyed and expelled from the body, and thus a
long Opt of skin, scrofulous and kindred affections are
overcome and sound, vigorous health established. - ,
The “Discovery” contains no alcohol and no habit-forming drugs, and has
its every ingredient printed on its wrappers. This OPEN PI* 1BLICI TY places
it in a class distinct from the ordinary secret nostrums with which it has no re-
lationship. Physicians, therefore, do not hesitate to prescribe it in bad cases of
indigestion, torpid liver or biliousness and in skin arid blood affections. People
of intelligence and keen discernment cinpldy it. I he “Discovery’ is a pure
glyceric extract of native medicinal roots or great curative potency, and can in
no case do harm to either child or adult. The aged find it a great invigorator.
You can learn more about this time proven and popular “Discovery” from
the People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, a newly
revised, up-to-date edition of which is now offered, in cloth covers, post-paid,
for 31 cents in one-cent stamps, to cover cost of mailing only; or in pafier cov-
ers 21 cents. Address: World’s Dispensary Medical Association, R.V. Pierce,

WELL SUSTAINED
We have to help each other. The
merchant has been Impressed with
this for he will give one day to help
build a church, the next for a base-
ball tgam, the next for an orphan’s
home, the next to help bury an un-
fortunate who leaves nothing for
that purpose, also gives to aid In
town development, etc. It will al
ways be so unless we live unto our-
selves as Individuals alone and have
no part in the affairs of our fel-
lows, our town and country.
