Vice President Sherman is
critically ill and there is little
hope that he can survive unti
the day of the election.
Roosevelt,* the man who made
Milwaukee famous, has so far

man that all people desire to see
and hear.
Next Tuesday is election day—
the day on which the American
people have decided to elect
Wilson and Marshall. Don’t
fail to vote and help to pile the
Texas majority so high that the
opposition can't see over it.
ANOTHER FROM SID
I notice in the Texas Farm Co-
opeiator that Taft favors aid for
;he farmers. He proposes to
call a meeting of all the govern-
ors to formulate some uniform
legislation by which the farmers
maybe relieved from the burdens
under which they now labor. He
says we have 12,000,000 farmers
who add each year to our nation’s
wealth $8,400,000,000, on a bor-
rowed capital of 6,040,000,000,
On this sum they pay an annual
intete3t of 8 XA per cent.
Now, if Mr. Taft wants our
votes will he please tell where
the farmers of Texes can get
money at 8% per cent upon which
to make a crop? And when he
does tell us we will not vote for
him. We folks who borrow
money on which to make our
crops know better, we do.
He says, “Therefore I suggest
the establishing of land mortgage
banks under state charters thru
which the farmers may get mon-
ey at a lower rate of interest.”
Taft might make arrangements
by which the landlords could se-
cure money to relieve the 35 per
cent of farmers of this eouatry
that are already under mortgage.
But what about the 65 per cent
of cur farmers who are renters?
Taft says our country enjoys
great prosperity. Factories are
running, working men are em-
ployed, the wheels of industry
hum, and the farm shares ia the
in this general prosperity.
My, my, Taft ought to be ap-
pointed on a commi=ion to go
out and spend a whole year a-
mong the renters of this conntry
and le.arn better. He would find
that a great many ot them live
in box houses, some of the cracks j p
are stripped and some are not,
some of the rooms are c^ied
overhead, and some are n st.
In the cold, bleak winds of win-
ter the whole family sit around a
little, old, rusty, cracked heater,
set aside by the landlord years
ago. The furniture consists of a
few old rickety chairs, two or
three out of date bedsteads.
Their ward*robe consists of a welt
worn sheet held in place by naiU
and stretched across one coraer
of the room, behind which all the
extra garments are hu g. Many
of the parents are not able to
furnish clothing and books that
their children may enj >y the
benefit of the public schools for
four months in the year. For
the same reasons they are de-
prived of the Sunday school and
church privileges. From such
prosperity may the good lord de-
liver us.

FRIENDHIP
On account of cotton picking
Friendship has gotten behind
with her writing. A greater
part of the cotton has been gath-
ered and some are up and gath-
ering for others.
Mrs. Threat is seriously J sick.
For several days her life has
been hanging between the two
worlds, but we hope and pray
that her life may be spared with
her family a while longer as she
is the mother of twelve children,
ten of those at home. Her little
infant, twenty day* old, is doing
well. On account of Mrs.
Threat’s-illness Mr. Threat has
got behind with his cotton pick-
ing, so the neighbors and friends
have set next Thursday to go in
and give them a days picking.

Dr Brooks so uruls a note of
warning to the people against

The other day a merchant of a
North Arkansas town htppened
to see a farmer receive a box at
the depot and noticed it was
from a mail order hou=e. He
also noticed that the g iods were
right in line, and the same as he
had carried for years. He im-
mediately approached the farmer
and said: “I could have sold
you the goods you have there for
less money than the Chicago
house and saved you the freight’’
‘•Then why didn’t you do so?’'
answered the farmer, “I have
takerf the Leal paper for a year
and haven’t seen a line about you
selling these or any other kind
of goods. This mail order house
sent advertising matter to m *,
asking for my trade an 1 they got
if you have any bargains
why dont you have them put in
the paper so we can see what
they are.”—Ex.

If the big dogs of Europe an d
Asia don’t step in and stop the
fight, the Turk will have to get
out of Europe in short order.
The little states, Bulgaria, Servia
and Greece, are fighting like all
possesed and pushing the Turks
back on Constantinople every
day. It is to be hoped the little
fellows will be let alone until
they finish the job.

EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY
The H jma Mis ion S jciety of
the Methodist church in Cumby
wish to publicly express the sym-
pathy of the membership for
Mrs. Co Smith, one of our most
efficient members, in lier recent
bereavement by the de ith of her
daughter, Mrs. Bessie Redmond,
which" occured at Greenville,
October 15.
Her sorrow is, in a measure,
ours, as to many of us Mrs. Red-
mond was a personal friend from
her girlhood am jng us. She was
loved by overyone and her s veet
Christian life has left to all a
radiant hope that reaches within
the veil, which makes the grief
of parting less sad.
To our friend and covvorker we
can only say, your sorrow is soft-
ened by the sweet assurance of
the future. Mrs. Fred Hull,
Mrs. Eugene Benton,
Mrs. G. M. Morton,

Waco, Toxas, October.—Dr.
S. P. Brook-, President of Biy-
lor University, who is a close
studennt of economic affairs in
Texas, recently made a report to
the Texas Welfare Commisirn
in which he showed in a start
ling and convincing manner that
while Texas has ths largest per-
manent fund for education ol
any state in the union, we ac-
tually spend less per capita and
less per student than all other
states. Dr. Brooks was chair-
man of the Committe on Edu-
cation appointed by the Commis-
sion to investigate our educa-
tional system and his report is a
result of a close and searching
CO
investigation into affairs e luja-
tional.
In a table submit tad. by p>r.
Brooks, it is shown that the pei
cent school population enrolled
in school in Texas is 65.46 per
cent as compared with an aver-
age in other states of 72 per
cent. Comparing Texas with
California, which is one of the
most advanced states in the
Union in the matter of educa-
tion, he shows that our expendi-
ture per ca pita of average at
tendance is $18.55, while that of
California is $59 01. The ex-
penditure per capita of entire
population in Toxas is $2 71

A feeling of good will between
the city man and farmer will pro-
mote prosperity and assure the
intending investor of a hearty
welcome within your midst.
The marvelous growth of the
larger cities in Ttxas should re-
mind the smaller towns that very
little cm be accomplished in the
way of increased population
without adequate transportation
facilities, for you will find few
commercial centers that are not
located on several railroad or
