■toutyi: are interested in Hopkins county and her people. And because of the interest that we feel in you as one
nies whose head offices are in the North and East. Should you go to the home state of one of these coders >ou
will, find that they make a strong local appeal to keep “home money ^t home. But when they come South and
i&knt xo take your money North they sing you a different song. They have good insurance, yes and their protec-
tion is safe- but why should they have any better than those whose head offices are in the State of Texas and all of
wW money is left at home to the support and protection of your home and loved ones Have we not the same
art^To organize in the South as in thVNorth? Can we not trust home folks and friends that we know and with
whom we have dealings, as well as those who live in other states and who we will never see. Just think, almost
any community in the county sends away annually as dues from $600 to $1,000. What if this vast amount of
money was left in the county? What a difference it would make in the finance of the county. If we should get

returns ^leaving the restfto enrich the coffers of those states who have had the skill and ability to solve our insur-
ance problems for us. The Hopkins County Circle believes that there is as much ability m the South as there is
in the North- believes we can form as strong insurance organizations here as there. If our people will be as loyal
t# their own ’institutions as the people of the North are to theirs we can build up an insurance organization that
will be the pride of every citizen of our State. When we shall have solved this problem we will have cheap
money at home and you will see the institutions of the South taking their places with those of the North and
East We claim the following for the Hopkins County Circle:
It trives insurance at cost, it keeps all money at home, pays all its death claims promptly and has no restric-
tions in its policies. We want you with us. We need your help and influence. Yours for anything that makes
Hopkins County better and her citizens happier and more prosperous.

The faifabfuJ are always rewarded.
There is consolation in the fact that
if onr cotton is cat short there will be
less labor and expenditure in gather-
ing it. There will be less made, and
the experience of the past shows we
get more for it. If we can realize as
mnch on two-hales as we do on three,
certainly we are the gainers.
Stay with those who stay with yon,
is good doctrine. If you believe this,
just before you order a bill from a
mail order concern give your local
merchant a chance to duplicate it, and
the chances are you will save money,

actly “where you are at.”

The better element of the colored

ready to assist in bringing them to a
strict account for all violations of the
law.
Dr. 8. A, Knapp, an approved au-
thority on cotton culture, says that
the unfavorable season of 1909 dem-
onstrates what can be done to avert
the effects of the boll wievil. The
farmers that season were persistent in
gathering the punctured squares and
burning them, at the same time they
kept np intensive work, constantly
stirring the soil thns destroying thous-
ands of the pests. He believes that
under these rales, even after the first
of July a fair crop can be made.

It is poor policy to send away your
money from home for things yon can
get cheaper from yonr home mer-
chant. We noticed the other day
where a man had bought an axe from
a mail order concern, paying $1 20
when he could have gotten the same
axe from his local dealer for $1.00.
Certainly there is no economy in this,
and then yon are not standing by yonr
home people. It is a fact that mail
order concerns never contributed a
dollar to yonr local misfortunea/or to
bnild churches and school houses. On
the other band, our home merchants
are always ready and willing to help
the unfortunate—they help build the
schools and work for the general good
—and should be npheld by the people
they are ready to serve.

State Democratic Convention.
The State Democratic Convention
convened in Galveston Monday, with
Colquitt and Poindexter delegates
largely in the majority. Everything
was cat and dried and the “steam rol-
ler” was held in readiness to ran down
any opposition that might arise. The
opposition was in evidence and when
the platforouwas submitted Wednes
day, a majority and a minority report
was made and a spirited debate was
indulged in for more three hoars, af-
ter which the majority report was ac-
cepted. Below we give the platform
as drafted by the majority of the com-
mittee on platform and adopted by
the convention:
THE PLATFORM.
“We believe that a representative
democracy is the most perfect form
of government ever devised by the
wisdom of man aud we are unalter-
ably opposed to every attempt to de-
stroy or impair the excellent system
established by our wise and patriotic
fathers. We hold it to be the ffifrt
and highest duty of every representfe-
tive to faithfully execute the will of
his constituency fairly ascertained.
“2 We hold the constitution to be
a solemn compact between the gov-
ernment and the people adopted for
the protection of individuals and ml
uorities and we insist npon a strict
construction of its lettek as well as
takbfni observance of its spirit. " * f
*‘3. We believe in the Federal gov-
ernment in Its constitntional vigor in
preserving the rights of the states of
the Union in the time-honored doc
trine of local self-government and in
simple, economical and honest admin-
istration of the government in all its
departments.
“4. We reaffirm the tariff declara-
tions of Democratic and national plat-
forms of 1896 and we expressly con-
demn the proposition to remove all
daties from the manufacturers of raw
material so long as snch daties re-
main on the manufacturer's finished
prodact.
“5. Whereas section 8 of article 4
of the constitution of the state of
Texas limits the power of the execu-
tive to convene the legislature in spe-
cial session to “extraordinary occa-
sions,” we declare the calling of extra
sessions of that body on other than
“extraordinary occasions” adjust to
the taxpayers of the state and unau-
thorized either by the letter or the
spirit of that instrument.
“6. Iu observance of the instruc-
tions given iu the Democratic primary
of July 23, 1910, we call upon the
Thirty-second legislature of Texas to
submitAo the people for their rejec-
tion or approval a constitutional
amendment prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors
in this state, but we declare that a
vote upon such amendment shall not
be a test of Democracy.
“7. Believing that an educated cit-
izenship is the best assurance of good
government and good conduct and re-
calling the wise and generous provis-
ions made by tbe fathers of the re-
public of Texas for the establishment
of a complete system of pnblic educa-
tion from the primary school to the
university, we remind the legislature
that our school system has not kept
pace with the educational progress of
the times, but has suffered in organi-
zation and maintenance. We demand,
therefore, the perfection of the com-
mon school system of this state and
the adequate provision for the up-
building of tbe university, the A. A
M. College, the normal schools and the
other educational institutions con-
trolled by the state. Provision should
ba made for efficient county organiza-
tions and Rural High schools, encour-
agement of manual training for dis-
trict or county agricultural (training
schools and the separation of the A. A
M. College from the State University.
Provision for a liberal and independ-
ent income for the state Institutions of
higher learning should be made.
“8. We favor divorcing the man-
agement of the penitentiary and onr
elemoaynary instntitions from politi-
cal control to the end that they will
not suffer the disturbance of changes
in adminstrations and we recommend
independent boards of control with
tenure of office so arranged as to pre-
vent a complete change of manage-
ment at any time. We insist upon a
faithful application of the wise and
merciful policy of moral reform and
mental and manual training in all
penal institutions.
“9. We believe that the general
welfare demands that the people shall
not be annoyed by constant political
agitations, and they should be relieved
therefrom in order that they may un-
disturbed pnrsne their nanal vocations
to the end that they may be contented
and prosperous and we promise an in-
telligent and strict enforcement of the
law as it is by lawful means and the
enacment of snch additional laws only
as are absolutely necessary to protect
the pnblic and the rights and liberties
of the people, and we recommend that
instrnction and as a touchstone by the
Thirty-first legislature, now in special
session, dispose of the fire rating
board law and adjourn and go
home.
“10. Realizing that the development
and prosperity of Texas require that
there shall be harmony between the
producers, the merchants, farmers,
manufacturers, laborers and capita
lists and that no snch harmony can
exist except under just and equal laws,
we pledge ourselves to the enactment
and enforcement of snch laws.
t(ll. We favor the adaption of the
constitntional amendment making
provision for the establishment of a
home for the widows of Confederate
soldiers.
“12. We congratulate ourselves that
the Democratic party has controlled
the government of the state for nearly
forty years and that during that time
no scandal has ever marked its ad-
ministration and we expressly com-
mend to the present state administra-
tion for writing ipto the statutes of
the state the platform pledges of tbe
party.
“13. With renewed hope in the prin-
ciples of Democracy and a firm and
abiding faith in the capacity of the
people for self government we appeal
again with cohfidence to the intelli-
gence and patriotism of the voters of
Texas.” _
the minority report.
The minority report was as follows:
“The nndersigned, a minority of
yonr committee on platform and reso-
lutions, beg leave to report as follows:
< “We recommend that the platform
and resolutions submitted by tbe ma
jority be amended in the following
[particulars:
“1. Amend section 4 of the plat-
form by snbstitnting therefor tbe fol-
fowing: ‘That we hereby reaffirm onr
allegiance to the Denver national
Democratic platform of 1908 on the
tariff question as sound and Demo-
cratic and to the best interests of the
people.’
“2. Amend the platform submitted
b'y the majority by striking oat sec-
tion 9 of the same.
“3. Amend the platform submitted
by the majority by adding' another
section to read as follows: ‘We favor
a law to prohibit pnblic officials from
accepting fees or emoluments from
tke public service corporations while
they hold a commission from the peo-
ple to the end that they may be free
from any suspicion or wrongdoing.’
“4. Resolved. That we indorse the
coarse of the Hon. Oharles A. Culber-
son and those representatives in con-
gress from Texas for voting in favor
of free lumber and free iron ore and
commend them for obeying the pro-
visions of the Denver Democratic
platform. (Substitute for resolution
endorsing Culberson and Bailey.)
“5. Amend the majority report by
adding thereto the following: “The
absolute obedience to the instrnction
of the people by those holding their
office is indispensable to the integrity
of representative government. We
regard it as a wholesome text for
with which to test the service of those
we trnst (and we declare that those
who accept tbe people’s office and re.
fuse to obey their instructions are
embezzlers of power.”
(Signed) “John B. Dnrrett, Bell
connty; Cullen F. Thomas, Dallas
connty; J. J. Fanlk, Henderson

father’s Day.
“Father’s Day” has been inaugur-
ated in Spokane, Wash., by Rev. Dr.
William J- Hindley, pastor of a Con-
gregational chnrch. In founding it Dr.
Hindley said he wanted to give every-
body “a chance to speak a few kind
words for the ‘old man’ who surely
needs sympathy.” The few kind words
were said last Sunday, and, perhaps,
the “old man” felt better for them.
When tbe movement spreads through-
out the country, as the founder and
his followers believe it will, papa prob-
ably will begin to chirp np and feel
that he is appreciated at something
approaching his own estimate of his
real worth. Mother already has her
day, and its observance, we hope,
brings joy to her dear old sonl, bat
father has been rather a negligible
quantity in the household scheme. It
is true he is permitted to provide the
money to pay the bills, bat what does
it profit a man to own a palatial home
and supply the table with the fat of
the land if he mast adjourn to the cel-
lar or the back steps to smoke his pipe
or cigar because tobacco smoke is in-
jurious to the lace curtains he did not
select bat had to pay for. Nor does
it add to the joys of his outcast ni.
continons vigil to listen to the strains
of “Everybody Works bat Father,” as
played and sang by the yoang hope-
fuls amid the comfortable surround-
ings from which he has been banished.
Sorely father needs a little sympathy,
and perhaps a little more considera-
tion—Grand Saline Ban.

Now that the courses of both sen-
ator Culberson and Senator Bailey,
daring the consideration of the last
tariff bill, have been indorsed in the
same convention and by the same re-
solution, the feat of riding two horses
going in opposite directions is made to
appear simple and easy. The courses
of these two Senators were perhaps
not quite at right angles, bat there
was at least 80 degrees of contrariety,
so that the ability of this convention
to view them as parallel exhibits a
strabismus that is astonishing even in
a political convention. After medi-
tating the achievement of this con
vention, we are left in doubt as to
whether the gentlemen who composed
ic are in favor of patting trust* made
goods on tbe free list or not. Their For Justice Peace, Precinct No. 8:
opinion as to the binding force of plat*
form promises is equally inscrutable.
In other words, declarations snch as
this have no other significance than
that of a willingness to be ridiculous
ia the interest of harmony. Some,
however, may think that also they
testify rather an object degree of
hero-worship.—Dallas NuWs. '■J J
A Serious Charge.
Former United States Senator Wil
liam E. Mason says: “I believe that
fifty per cent of the seats in the Unit-
ed States senate have been practically
purchased.” If this were true then it
wonld mean that forty-six United
States senators had purchased their
offices. Unquestionably Mr. Mason
could not support that charge. It is
probably true that some of the sen-
atorships were purchased by the men
holding them, bat a larger number
were bestowed, not because of the pe
collar fitness of the candidates, bat
rather that he coaid be relied apon to
serve the special interests that con-
trolled the legislature. Regardless of
Mr. Mason’s exaggeration, however,
it is true that there are a sufficiently
large number of senators who have
won their places through questionable
methods that the plan to choose sen-
ators by popular vote 'ought to
command the serious attentions of the
people.—The Oommoner.

feated candidate:
Lost 5 months and 29 days canvass-

24,545 times; talked enough to have
made in print 1600 large volumes the
sizs of Patent Office Reports; kissed
125 babies;^kindled 10 kitchen fires;
cat 2 loads of wood; toted 20 backets
of water; was dog-bit 3 times; watch
broken by a baby, which cost $2.00 to
have repaired; rode 3 horses down;
went all around the connty in tbe

twenty-two years he stood as one of
the most prominent Roman Catholic
priests of Chicago. Three years ego
he had an attack of heart failure and
was treated at the Mercy Hospital in
Chicago. His remains were laid to
rest in Calvary. Cemetery, Chicago, by
the side of those of his father, mother
and a brother and sister.
