* The Sherman Home Guards is a
Worthy cause and one In which every
citiien should have a part and help.
Fort Worth wants a new jail and a
nCW poetofflee. Dallas has Just secur-
ed a nMt jail but Is also after a new
postoffice building.
Harry Miller of Dallas is making
some Speeches for United State Sena-
tor Culberson, and is putting up some
splendid arguments^ for his friend.
Dallas detectives have another mys-
tery to solve. A burglary has occurred
at the Dallas Comity jail, money and
valuable jewelry having been taken.

Tbe National Guard is proving to be
an important part of Uncle Sam’s fight-
ing machine and no doobt will here-
after rfttik mUch higher in the estima-
tion of military men than heretofore.

Villa seems to be looming up again on

Is going to be something doing, and It
will be done to Vina.
The lnfhntlle paralysis epidemic,
which started In New Tork, is unabat-
ed to that city and has spread to many
other cities. The fly is said to be
one of the most pernicious carriers of
this fatal malady.
if a fair count la permitted to the
submission election no one doubts what
the result will be. And an bonest bal-
lot add a fair comrt la all any prohlbl-
tionfst wants, and every good citizen,
be he anti of pro, should want and de-
mand as much.
With the demand for labor now ap-
parent, the ablebodied man who is not
at work will be cited to a Job. Sher-
maa officers say that loafers must give
g good reason for their loafing, or else
they Will be sent out to help make the
toftnty roads better. "
The paUtkal situation is wanning
up, and the candidates are making a
garrison finish. Tbe people should
give them all a hearing and then go to
the polls and vote on election day. If'
all the people who are entitled to vote
cast their ballots there should be no<
complaint at tbe selections made.

In Dallas a citizen lias applied to
the Board of City Commissioners ask-
ing that a law be passed requiring peo-
ple to keep their bees up. There was
quite a lot of fun poked at the chicken
ordinance when it was first proposed,
but today many cities bare feather
tight chicken ordinances and tbe law
is being enforced, resulting In a bet-
terment of cotidltons for be iwblic
generally and the chk-kens. Now, it
may be that Dallas will solve the
honey bee problem. We Imagine bee
hives in a small back yard would
make lots of bee sting aud anxiety of

Tbe campaign for submission Is on.
EverV voter In Grayson county will be
given an opportunity to see just what
the brewers of Texas have been doing
In the way of raising a slush fund. A
large part of that fund came to Gray-
son county In the local option elections
that have heretofore been held, and the
matter will be given full publicity and
every one will know what has been go-

held In the court house in Hbertui.n,
Friday afternoon, decided to put the

FOSTER’S FORECASTS.
Washington, D. C., Jtfly 8.—Last
bulletin gave, forecast of disturbance
to cross continent. July 11 to 15, warm
wave 10 to 14, cool wave 13 to if.
This covers part of the second of the
great storm periods predicted to occur
during the six weeks—June 20 to
July 31. The first of these great
storms came Into the extreme north-
, west promptly on June 21 and was a
good beginning, causing heavy rains
In many places and general rains over
a large extent of country.
This second of the great storms Is
expected to be much greater than the
first, therefore we have called it a
period of dangerous storms, while the
first period was denominated severe
storms, a milder term than used for
the disturbance now due. From this
storm period—July 8 to 18—tornadoes
have been expected In the * central
valleys, hall In a few places near the
south of latitude 40 and' excessive
rains in most of the country east of
Rockies. Rough weather is also ex-
pected on north Pacific slope and near
the coasts.
Tills will also be a dangerous storm
period for oats and winter wheat
harvests near and north of latitude
40 and farmers should prepare to get
their harvested grain to shelter as
quickly as possible, It will be a bad
time for water excursions on the
’akes, Gulf of Mexico and the S‘ At-
lantic. Usually It would be a little
early for tropical hurricanes but this
will be an unusual storm period,
therefore we expeet a gulf hurricane.
A great hot wave will precede these
storms.
Next warf wave will reach , Van-
couver near Jrfly 18. causing higher
Pacific slope.
■It will cross crest of Rockies ahont
July 17, Plains sections 18, meridian
90, great lakes and Ohio valleys 19,
eastern sections 20, reaching New-
fotmdhtnfl near 21.
This will be the second great storm
of this storm period and will be most
severe on north Pacific slope, north-
ern Rockies and In eastern sections.

excessive rains east of Rockies.

The Democrat is pleased to publish
the following testimonial and appre-
ciation of Andrew L, Randell of Sher-
man, candidate for congress:
Andrew L. Raridell is a native Te&
an. Thirty-six years ago lie was born
In the city of Denison. He was reared
In Sherman. He Is therefore a home
product—‘‘made In Texas." He was
trained In our school* and colleges.
First, he passed up through our public
schools, then to Austin College, then
to the University of Texas; then on
to Princeton and then back down In
Virginia to got the touch of that great,
noble Institution, founded by Jeffer-
son, the University of Virgin1* ; then
back to the University of Texas for
law.
Thus it will lie seen that his 1 rain-
ing has been unusually liberal. With
these many touches hi the formative
period of life, he could not lie narrow
or provincial, hut of necessity takes
a broad view on all great national ami
International questions. He has been
trained for leadership.
In 1903 he received from the hands
of the president of Princeton, Wood-
row Wilson, his diploma. During his
stay at Princeton, be touched and was
touched by one of the greatest minds
AT the century. He received Instruc-
tion from one of the greatest teachers
of government and International law
•this country has as yet produced. It
menus much that so many of our
young men who must be the future
leaders of the nation had tbe privilege
of sitting In the classroom of Win Hi-
row Wilson. v The teacher Influences
the thinking of men, more than any-
one else, yes, more than all others
combined. A man tiever gets entirely
away from the personality of his
teacher. The Wilson type should ap-
peal to all true Americans and Wilson
himself should lie backed by the Wil-
son type.
Mr. Randell, after thoroughly equip
ptng himself for’ life, settled in Sher-
man among ills own people. When lie
came to the most Important step of
his life, he married a Sherman girl.
To their home two sweet children
have come to bless and' cheer them
along the way. Thus the entire family
belong to Sherman and to Grayson
county and North Texas. Flesh of
our flesh and hone of our hone. They
are our people. Mr. Randell is a mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church. He
Is a prohibitionist. The pastors of
Sherman know him, have epdorseil
him, and are with him In this cam-
paign.
Mr. Randell has nlways stood and
worked for those things which were
for the best Interest of the city and
county. He believes and hence has
given time to this important work.
He has given time and money far the
"Greater Austin College in Sherman.”
He is an honored member of tbe hoard
of trustees of that institution which
Is linked with the earliest history of
Texas. He is also president of the
Alumni Association of Austin College,
and one of the editors of the Alumni
monthly. He is a member of the
Chamber of Commerce and was until
he resigned, two months ago, the pres-
ident of that organization. He has
liecn untiring in his lahors for good
roads, the Rial River Valley Fair, the:
City Charter-^commlssion form of
government, and all the farming Inter-
ests of the county. He has put much
of his life into those things which
mean so much to all the jieople.
He has the confidence and respect
of all classes. The citizenship of
Sherman and Grayson eopnt.v take a
special pride In him. We owe him a
drtit of gratitude for laltors abundant.
To each and every one of us he Is.
"Our Andrew, onr Mr. Randell."
Mr. Randell Is In the full vigor of
enthusiastic manhood, ready to pay
the prtce for noble leadership—the
giving of self to‘the task. He is
thoroughly equipped in head anil
heart for a leader among men. He Is
ambitious to fill the largest place pos-
sible for the glory of America, and the
good of humanity. Onr country is
calling'today our young men, not only
to the colors, hut to onr legislative
halls. The pen—the voice—Is mightier
than the. sword. I# we need the
eousecreated young manhood . of our
country to handle onr guns upon, land
and sea, much more do we need them
where the nation’s laws nre being
made, the place where the nation’s life
may hang in the balance.
Mr. Randell is a splendid English
scholar. He speaks with a flow ot
pure English, marvelous In its force,
and beautiful In Its delivery; As a
native Texan he would rightly repre-
sent our cultured and refined people
at the national eapitol. We need this
representation. The east has too
long looked upon us as barbarians.
This state Is destined to become the
leader of states within the next quar-
ter of a century. We must become
leaders in hraln as well as in brawn.
Why not give our country the best?
He has Inherited all the noble traits
of a devoted Godly mother, and the
roil rage and Intellect of a loving;
father, ex-congressman Choice B.
Randell. A most worthy 89a i of a
noble sire.
Some cigarettes have to play that game—the
way they’re “built” they can’t help hitting some
of the taste!
But Favorites are different. They are made of
STRAIGHT CUT tobacco. And “Straight Cut”
'“draws” so much more freely and evenly that it
brings out ALL the taste, and aroma, and “body”
that are partly shut up in some cigarettes.
Try Favorites today—see what a difference
there is between getting ALL the taste-delight
and just part of it!

A union of discordant particulars Is
laughable, as. What Is wanting to him
except fortune and virtue? Similar to
tills is friendly admonition by way of
giving adrice, as when Granius per-
suaded a had pleader, who had made
himself hoarse with speaking, to drink
a cold mixture of honey and wine as
soon as he got home. “I shall ruin my
voice,” suld he, “if I do so.” “It will
be better," said Granius, “than to ruin
your clients.” — From Cicero’s “Ora-
tory.”
