ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOR CONGRESS
The Beacon iB authorized to an-
nounce Hon, A. B.Davidson, of Cuero,
as a candidate for Congress from the
9tli Congressional District, subject to
the action of the Democratic State
primaries.
The Beacon announces D. L. Stump,
of Palacios, as a candidate for Con-
gress from the Ninth Congressional
District, subject to the Democratic
State primaries July 22.
to be able to perlorm (be duty properly
all members of this command are for-
bidden to me intoxicating liquors of
any kind and are not permitted to
enter places where such drinks are
sold."
We can but wonder how this sounds
to our anti friends and advocates of
sacred personal liberty. Here are our
soldier boys who have volunteered their
services, perchance their lives, for the
defense and protection of their coun-
try, and the government in turn places
the hand of the despot upon them, and
forbids them their ordinary personal
privilege of taking a social drink, or
maybe getting drunk; even prohibiting
them from so much as entering a sa-
loon—and a prohibition of the sort
that does prohibit.
There will be fifteen women dele-
gates in the Democratic national con-
vention at St. Louis; four each from
the states of Kansas, California, Wash-
ington; two from Wyoming and one
from Arizona.
inuaufl=^Eg-Am'IM
Earl Kitchener, the English secretary
of war, and acknowledged head of the
English army was lost Sunday night
when his cruiser the Hampshire, sunk
off the Orkey islands from striking a
mine or attack by a torpedo boat. Dis-
aster seems to lie in wait for the British.
Can it be that history is again repeating
itaelf, and that the beginning of the end
of the British empire is at hand? Such
may be possible.
t IMAMU—LA^~—uaiOTTi
The Republican national convention
now in session at Chicago, is a political
panorama or kaledioscope rather, the
like of which has never been seen before,
except to the outsider it looks very much
like a repetition of eight years ago; and
that is that Roosevelt is the only man
who knowa what is likely to happen.
It is no wild guess to say that T. R. will
either be the nominee or tell the con-
vention who it muat nominate. Any-
11 Teddy ian’t suited there may*stllTf
he a Bull Moose convention to name a
candidate.
The Summer Normal
In visiting the summer normal the
first of the week we were impressed
with the unusually bright, energetic, at-
tractive, membership, all of whom
seemed very enthusiastic and determin-
ed to make this a most successful ses
ion. As we can assure all, Palacios is
the ideal place for a summer normal,
and the large airy rooms in the high
school building are peculiarly fitted tor
just such gatherings. There is an ex-
ceptionally strong corps of teachers, in-
cluding; W, C. Gray, county superin-
tendent; H. L. B. Skinner, Supt. Pala-
cios schools; J. F. Hensen, Supt. Whar-
_ ton schools; J. D. DeFee, Principal An-
gleton school and Mrs. Elma D. Huff-
man of Palacios, a primary teacher
second to none. Monday's enrollment
showed that Palacios contributed; Mrs.
J. D. LaGue, Leafa Green, Pansy Green,
Willie Grant, Wills Clements, Mabel
Burch. Maude Marshall, Belle Mc-
Glothlin, Winnifred Harrison, Joseph
ine Burgmier, Mary Gillespie, Esther
Cotton, Hazel Hall, Olive Graham,

Death of Baby Beauchamp.
The death angel came to the home
of Mrs. Theresa Beauchamp, and took
away her preolous baby, Walter Jas-
per, on the afternoon of June %th.
The life was brief, being only one
year and eight days. Funeral services
were held Wednesday, the 7th. The
casket was borne to the grave by
eight little girls, where a brief ser-
vice was held. Interment was made
in the City cemetery.
The whole community deeply sym-
pathize with the mother and other
bereaved ones In their hour of sorrow.
But the words of Jesus come to us at
this time, “Suffer little children to
come unto me, and forbid them not
for of such is the kingdom of God.”
The poet expresses these words in
an old hymn;
‘Asleep in Jesus I perfect rest,
Whos waking Is supremely blest!
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Savior’s power.
