"MY BROTHER
AND I.”
is the motto
~My Brother and I
of the Wesley Class of the Methodist
Sunday school in this city. This is a
Ep£- motto that would be good for every
£ man who loves Cod and humanity to
stamp indelibly in his mind and heart,
sallowing it to be an ever-present mon-
itor in his dealings with his fellow-
naan. If ^11 men who have the milk
p: of human kindness in their hearts
would carry this motto with them in
their walks of life and live up to the
i"-......... tmam
,tion it suggests—“I am my
s keeper”—it would weild a
.great power for good throughout the
world.
In the broad and liberal doctrine of
American people the'-democracy of
the brotherhood of man is demonstrate
our hearts and dwarf our souls
•No life has been truly successful
until the bonds of selfishness were
loosened and the soul-enlarging light
of "brotherly love” let in. No loftier,
more elevating and inspiring element
ever entered the life of man than
that of human kindness—that broth-
erly love, kindness and good fellow-
ship that makes “all the world akin”—
it weeps with those who weep and re-
joices with those who rejoice; it
prompts that charity which stoops
to lift the fallen brother and wavers
not because of adversity or misfor-
tune; it visits the sick and brings
comfort and sustenance to the widow
and the orphan. In short, it produces
the ripened fruit of Christianity, and
brings the golden conscientiousness
of duty done.
were laid and the campaign waged
to put Maine back into the “wet” col-
umn. Money triumphed and Maine
is “wet,” but nothing could make us
believe that it would take a civilized
people fifty years to find out that
prohibition was a bad thing, and that
they would keep it that long and
then discard it as a failure. No, that
argument will not do; the verdict
from Maine is not an honest expres-
sion of her people. Money and cor-
ruption puts whiskey back in Maine,
just as it has made it stay temporar-
ily in Texas.
BARGAIN DAY TOR SULPHUR SPRINGS

Giving Day in Sulphur Springs.

ed in that, man is no longer judged
l»y aristocratic birth, station in life,
or the fullness of his purse, but rath-
by honor, integrity and merit, and
it said to the credit of American
people, at no time since the landing
of the Pilgrims have these three es-
sential qualities of true manhood
l>een held mpre sacred in the minds
and hearts of our people. The fixing
of this standard makes appropriate
the motto of, “My Brother and I.”
The motto implies an obligation to
our fellowman and suggests a duty
to be performed. In the whirl of bus-
iness and the alluring chase of wealth
or fame, many of us are apt to for-
get or overlook this duty to our
■brothers, and allow greed and selfish-
mess to sear our consciences, canker
Cotton has taken a tumble down-
ward within the past^ week. This
may be from the manipulations of
speculators, but we are of the opinion
that it is because of the fact that
farmers never had a better season for
gathering cotton; the exceedingly hot
weather has caused it to open faBt
and a good portion of the crop has
been gathered and ginned. The big
buyers, who have heavy contracts to
fill see so much cotton in sight, and
not knowing how much more is to
come, begin to feel confident and are
not so keen about buying; they buy
gingerly and the market begins to
slump. However, we believe this is
one year that every buyer who has big
contracts to fill had better lose no
time in covering his contracts, for
there, is but little question that the
crop is short, and the rule of supply
and demand will boost the staple up.
THE VERDICT FROM MAINE.
Maine has gone back into the “wet”
column, after more than fifty years
of successful reign under prohibition,
by a majority of less than 100. The
pros, fought a good fight, hut they
had the com Dined forces of the whis-
key interests tf the entire United
States to combat, and it is not sur-
prising that the white flag of prohi-
oition may be pulled down and thrown
into the gutter by the distillers and
brewers, to whom “prohibition Maine”
has been a menace for more than a
ha.f cei.tuiy. The idea was becoming
too popular: if prohibition was good
fo%Maine, it was good for other states,
and other states have been trying for
it, (and some succeeding) so the plans
SHEPPARD MAY ANNOUNCE.
Washington, Sept. 20.—Represents
tive Morris Sheppard and family will
leave Washington tomorrow for Tex-
as to remain in the state until Con-
gress meets In December. Special in-
terest attaches to Representative
Sheppard’s return to Texas at this
time. He has been urged by friends
in various parts of the state to enter
the race for United States Senator,
and it is thought that he may an-
nounce his candidacy within the next
sixty days. On this subject, however,
Mr. Sheppard declines to speak. It
appears that he has not made up his
mind to get into the race, but certain
of his friends are inclined tq believe
that after he has reached the state
and talked the matter over with his
friends, his announcement will fol-
low.
Since the adjournment of Congress
Representative Sheppard haiftRpen oe
cupied in Washington with putting
the finishing touches oti the work of
the Committee of Public Buildings,
of which he is chairman. This com-
mittee, during the special session of
Congress began a series *of hearings
on the general subject of public build-
ing construction, to which he has just
completed an introduction for publi
cation in book form by the govern-
ment.
FIRE AT GREENVILLE.
Greenville, Texas, Sept. 19.—A res-
idence owned by Hugh Horne and oc-
cupied by Bose Rice and family was
destroyed by fire last night, together
with nearly all of the household goods.
The biulding was valued at $1,500
and was insured for $900. The loss
on the household goods will amount
to $750 or $1,000.

In this issue of the Gazette you will
find a full page ad. advertising an-
other Bargain Day for Sulphur
Springs. The Gazette worked up two
Bargain Days last fall, and many of
our friends and readers will remember
that they were big successes. We
have made a canvass of the town and
secured a big lot of ^JtEAL BAR-
GAINS for our readers; we say real
bargains because we KNOW that
nearly every item quoted is marked
right down to the wholesale COST
mark, and many items are actually
BELOW FIRST COST. The Gazette
does this work FREE OF CHARGE—
we get nothing for our trouble and
nothing for the page ad.—and have ab-
solutely no interest in the matter
other than the general good of our
readers and the advertisers. What
helps them, helps us, and we are glad
to be of benefit to them. Anyone can
see where our readers profit by this,
it presents an ACTUAL MONEY-SAV-
ING opportunity to them, and as mon-
ey saved is money made, it has an
actual cash value to them. On the
other hand, our merchants are reach
ing out after more trade; they fee
that no town in all northeast Texas
can offer the public better values
than they are giving every day, and
barring a few of the larger cities, no
larger stoeks or more varied assort
ments can be found; they not only
want to win and hold the trade of the
entire territory tributory to Sulphur
Springs, but to reach out and draw
heavy volumes of business from a dis-
tance, and in order to do this they are
willing to cut out their profits on the
Bargain Day Specials in order to draw
big crowds to town and meet and min
gle with new customers. They want
to treat the people right, and are al-
ways willing to demonstrate their
fairness.
Bargain Day is intended to be of
mutual benefit to all concerned, and
we trust that every reader of the Ga-
zette, who can, will come and get his
(or her) share of the good things of-
fered on that day. Remember the day,
Wednesday, September 27th.

IV. GENIUS.
IOHAEL Angelo made the canvass glow with life and Phidias ur&de
marble speak and throughout ages civilisation has felt the elevating
influence of the painter and the sculptor. Their success was due to the fact
that they had the ability to put the stuff in their work and what is true
in art, is also true in government. We need in our Legislature men who
can put the stuff on our statute books that will make industry glow with
life and the soil speak with a glorious harvest.

A MASTER HAND.
To meet the issues of civilization now confronting us, we must place
in position of power men who can chisel out empires and draw the ten-
drils of civilization Texasward. We must have statesman who can pour
wisdom into the fountain head of prosperity and who can wave the
magic wand of genius over a land as full of opportunities as the morning
of creation. Texas needs great men.

IN A DEN OF LIONS
Daniel vi—Sept. 24
HTKe angel of the Lord encampeth round
about them that fear Him, and delivereth
them.”—Psalm axxiv, 7.
T the time of this study Daniel
had been long in service, wise
aud faithful in his adminis-
tration of the government en-
trusted to him. He had seen the
Babylonian Dynasty perish. In it
place came the empire of the Me
and Persians, By these also Daniel’s
grand character was recognized—his
loyalty to principle, his faithfulness
as a public servant, his obedience to
God and the principles of righteous-
ness.
That which will specially mark
siah’s Kingdom will be that It
only have perfect
ideals in respect
to human govern-
ment, but that it
will be backed by
Divine Power, be-
fore which, even-
tually, “Every
knee shall bow
and, every tongue
shall confess.”—
Philippians 2, 10,“

A man like Proved Three Time*
Daniel, in so im- a Dag.
pertant a place as that which he occu-
pied as one of the three supervisors
of a great Empire, was sure to be. in
the way of grafters—a hinderer of
their schemes. And for this reason
his fellows in office were desirous of
getting rid of him. Realizing that he
could not be deposed, the endeavor
was to secure his removal; but the
man’s integrity and uprightness gave,
no hope In this direction. Finally,
however, the scheme was concerted.
The conspirators approached the
king with a project which they assur-
ed him would help to make strong
and united the various parts of his
empire. It was this: The king should
be recognized for a month as the only
channel of mediation or access be-
tween his subjects and their gods.
King Darius felt flattered and agreed
to the arrangement and issued an or-
der to that etfect—never thinking of
what might be the result in the case
of Daniel, and never suspecting that
his counselors were seeking to entrap
him and to accomplish the death of
his most trusted officer. y

Prayed Three Timee Daily
Daniel heard of the decree hut alter-
ed not his custom of praying three . .^.^
times daily before a window of Ms
house which looked out toward Jerusa- A
lem. Morning, noon and night he re-
membered his God and Ms vows of
faithfulness to Him and called to
mind the gracious promises respect-
ing the Holy Land, that it would yet
be the center at the whole earth and
of God’s holy people; that eventually,
through these, Divine blessings would
be extended to every nation, people
and tongue.
Unquestionably the best men and
women in the world are those who
pray, and pray regularly, who bow the
knee, as did Daniel. Unquestionably
it is impossible to live a consecrated
life in neglect of prayer. What would
Daniel have been without his praying
time! How would bis loyalty to prin- -
ciple have maintained itself in th§
midst of corruption had it not been for
his communion with his Maker? To
the Christian this privilege is still
further enhanced by a realization that
We have an Advocate with the Fa-
ther, Jesus Christ, the Righteous.”—
Jehovah Sent His Angel
The conspirators were on the look-
out. They had witnesses ready to tes-
tify, not that they had seen Daniel do
anything wrong,
but that be had
violated the edict
which the -
had been ent
ped into making!
and signing. Th*
matter was laid- 1
before the king.: 1
King Darius felt
himself bound,
hand and foot
Daniel in the Han't Den. and ensnared—
trapped. All -day he sought means
whereby he could avert the conse-
quences of his royal mandate, but
found none. He assured Daniel -that
tie believed his God was able to de-
liver him. That a beautiful testimony
to the uprightness of Daniel’s life!
Daniel was cast into the lion’s den.
That night, we are told, ’
great distress to the king,
think only of his faithful
noble man so unrighteously treated.
He was abroad early In the morning,
to call to Daniel, to learn whether or
not he were still alive. His Joy of
heart was great when he learned that
he was still safe, that his God had
sent His angel to stop the lions’
mouths. Daniel was soon lifted from
the pit. The king now made another
decree—that those counselors who .had
thus sought the life of a faithful man
should themselves be cast into the
den of lions; and this, in their case,
meant destruction, as the result proved.
Oh, that every Christian would live
as high above the world’s standards, as
Daniel did, so that their enemies might
see that they have no ground for
charges except those to their credit;
and so that their superiors in the
walks of life might discern that their
God whom they serve is indeed the
true God, the living God, the God of
all Truth.
