t H ANCE TO VOTE ON A
NEW CONSTITUTION,
Austin, Texas, .March 30.—Those
who advocate a new Constitution for j
Texas are Jubilant at the action of the
House in adopting by a vote of 83 to
33 the MeNealus Senate resolution call-
ing for a constitutional convention.
He was In the house when Ills resolu-'
thru prevailed, and to those who con-
gratulated him he expressed Immeas-
urable gratification. 1
‘T came to the legislature seven years ‘
ago pledged to the calling of a oonsti-
tntionnl convention and the enactment

England ha* valorised the wheat},
crop of Canada rtT a maximum price of
li no and minimum of $1.50. This
leads the) Fort Worth Record to suggest
that Uncle Sam could valorize the cot-
ton crop If he wautetl to.
Massachusetts has voted a round
million dollars for defense hi the
(event of war. If the United States i»
dragged Into the world's war it will
take both money and men, and every
state should do her full part.
Cbamp dark has eome out for wo-
man suffrage. There waa a time when
Champ was against the proposition.
As the Democrat has often remarked
before, woman suffrage is coming right
down the big road. On with the
battle! _
Chief of l’ullee llyan has ordered
his men to quit tslklng polltlca. Thnt
la a pretty good idea. The Democrat
helleves every pplleeman has the right
to vote as be pleases, hut he should
speud his time in hunting down vio-
lators of the law and In law enforce-
ment and not in arguing politics and
whittling goods boxes.
W. P. Allen of Austin ami J. W-
Butler ft Clifton, recent appointees
of-Gov. Ferguson as regents of the
State University, have lieen confirmed
by the senate. It.is freely intimated
over tip* state that as soon as the leg-
islature adjonms the University is go-
ing to get several Jolts and that some
new faces will more limn likely Ire
observed among the faculty.
Now that planting time is uliflTtbt
here, and all of the last crop of eob-
tou has passed from the hands of the
farmers, the staple has gone up about
$4 per bole. This, however, will not
fool many people. A moderate cotton
crop brings more money than a large
one, and there Is much less work.
Then, there is the extra acreage for
raising feed and garden truck.
- 3^ '*■■■• <*
Not hug ago announcement was
made thnt Fort Worth would abolish
her “hell's half acre,” and clean up
on her rooming houses. Situs- that
time her chief of police lias resigned
and the work seems to have atopjied.
The respectable people of Texas, w ho
have to do business in Fort Worth
are anxious that the Panther City
cletou up. They have a, right to exited
this much.
In the settlement of the threatened
rallCoad strike organized labor lifts
won the greatest victory In Its his-
tory. The sum of $00,000,000 j*r an
Bum win lie distributed among 350,000
wage earners, and this amount is
merely an addition to what they have
already been receiving. And, what Is
perhaps more highly appreciated by
the workmen, is the fact that, working
conditions for rallroed men, whose.
Jobs are not. only hazardous, but who
heretofore have been working long
hours, will lie bettered.
1 'operation would soon break up this
sort of thieving, which Is at present
costing Sherman people so much
money .
A BOVS TRIBUTE.
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
Is Ma,
Lovelier than any queen
Is Ma,
Girls with curls go walking by,
Dainty, graceful, bold and shy,
But the one that takes my eye
Is Ma,
Every girl made Into one
Is Ma,
sweetest girl to look upon
, Is Ma,
Seen ’em short and seen ’em tall,
Seen 'em big and seen ’em small,
But the fluent of one and all
Is Ma,
Best of all the girls on earth
Is Mu,
One that all the rest la worth
Is Mu.
Some have beauty, some have grace,
Some look nice in silk and lace,
But the one takes first place
Is Ma,
Sweetest singer in the land
Is Ma,
She that has the softest hand
Is Ma.
TYnderest, gentlest nurse is she,
Pull of fun as she can be.
An' the only girl for me
Is Ma.
•
Bet if there's an angel here
It’s Ma.
If God has a sweetheart dear,
It's Mu.
Take the girls the artists draw,
An’ all the girls I ever saw,
The only one without a flaw
Is Ma.

The strap extensions on the front
yoke of this gray crepe frock sound a
decided uotc of novelty. Buttons and
silk tassels complete the decorative
scheme.
There have been skilful’ arrange-
ments of yokes and belts, but none
more so than the one featured in this
youthful frock of gray tatfeta. The
model closes at the' left side under a
plait, the front and back being length-
ened by a one piece flounce with
straight lower edge, and laid in
plaits. A square collar of tub satin
finishes the neck and the sleeves are

there is a large pocket trimmed with
buttons. In medium size the model
