Washington, Aug. 3.—Senator Mor-
ris Sheppard tonight issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the Demo-
cratic convention to be held at El
Paso:
“The trust legislation is still in a
critical stage, and every. Democratic
Senator has pledged himself in cau-
cus to remain here until this legisla-
tion has been disposed of. In addi-
tion, the war situation may cause an
emergency at any time requiring the
presence of every Senator. In view
of these conditions, 1 do not feel jus-
tified in leaving the Senate to attend
the El Paso convention.
“I trust that harmony and good
feeling will prevail in that conven-
tion. The good of our party in State
and Nation makes it essential that
no dissension shall develop there. In
common with thousands of Texas
Democrats, I supported Ball and I
have no regrets for the course I pur-
sued. I exercised my right as a citi-
zen of my State. Now that the peo-
ple have spoken, I believe that all
Democrats should rally to Ferguson
and give him a record-breaking ma-
jority in November. His land plank
should be embodied in the platform
jit El Paso and the Legislature
Should enact it into law. The peo-
ple have said by their votes that it
is entitled to a fair and thorough
test.
*q trust that the Wilson Adminis-
tration will be unqualifiedly indors
ed and that-there will be no criticism
or any Democratic law, in whole or in
part. I do not believe that any step
will be taken at El Paso that wil
militate in any way against harmony
among Democrats in State or Nation
“As to prohibition, there is no
cause for despair. It was obscured
by other issues in the recent cam
paign. It is becoming stronger ev
ery day. It is a moral issue that
will live as long as the aspiration for
righteousness in Government and in
private conduct survives in human
hearts/’ . > - Yj
GOOD REASON FOR HIS ENTHUSI-
ASM.
When a man has suffered for sever-
al days with colic, diarrhoea or other
form of bowel complaint and is then
cured sound and well by one or two
doses of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
' and Diarrhoea Remedy, as is often
the case, it is but natural that he
should be enthusiastic in his praise ef
the remedy, and especially is this the
case of a severe attack when life is
threatened. Try it when in need of
such a rmedy. It never fails. Sold by

BUBONIC PLAGUE.
About one year ago Surgeon Gener-
al Rupert Blue of the marine hospital
published a warning against the bu-
Donic plague and advised a National
crusade against the rats which are
the carriers of the disease. Our State
Health officer responded and joined
his voice to that of the National au-
thorities, but with what effect? There
s always the danger of the dread dis-
ease originating in the careless coun-
tries of the East and South; we are
always saved from any great suffer-
ng on account of them and we flat-
ter ourselves that* the other fellow
will take precautions that we neglect.
Now Surgeon General Blue is in New
Orleans directing the fight and the
danger is closer to us than when three
infected rats from India were found
n Liverpool a year ago.
Now what must we do to be saved?
Dr. Blue suggests the systematic
catching of rats in every port of the
country; a weekly bacteriological ex-
amination and report of results < to
some central bureau; the reconstruc-
tion of wharves which would close the
hiding places of rats; structual alter-
ations in our ships to exclude the
rats; the crating and boxing of goods
to exclude the rodents! Think of
what all these would cost, and yet
such cost would be nothing as com
pared with the cost of an epidemic of

Snow Liniment
Is a Healing Remedy for All Ailments of
the Flesh of Man and Beast.
The speed with which this splendid liniment heals up Bbad
wound or sore has surprised and pleased those who were accus-
tomed to the slower and uncertain effect of less powerful reme-
dies. It mends the lacerated flesh so quickly that there is but
little time lost from work. In relieving rheumatic pains, neural-
gia, sciatica, it has done and is doing a wonderful work. Many
chronic victims of these diseases have found to their greatsatis-
factlon that it cures an attack in a fraction of the time required
by the ordinary- treatment. , , ,
It is equally effective in the flesh ailments of animal*, owaers
of blooded stock value it highly for two reasons: It heals Bores
and wounds quickly, and leaves no disfiguring scars.
This remedy is needed in every home. If its Krea.^ ana
efficacy was generally known, no family would be without it.
