There Is more poultry and finer
bred poultry in Collin county today
than ever before in Its history. Our
chickens range in price from the for-
ty cent frier to the fifty and sixty dol-
lar fancy-bred Individual, in fact
we know of two or three roosters
owned by fanciers in or around Mc-
Kinney that have Bold for more than
the average milk cow brings on the
market. McKinney’s 1909 poultry
show promises to be a new pace-
setter for Texas chicken men.
Senator J. W. Bailey was the only
democrat to oppose free print paper
when the Item was voted on yester-
day In the United States Senate. He
repudiated the National Democratic
platform on the subject because said
plank was dictated by one man (Bry-
an) and for the further reason that
free wood pulp would benefit editors,
who are only a small cla^ss of citi-
zens, and for the further reason that
It would entail the loss of $700,000
In revenue to the government.
Baled oats, newly thrashed wheat

McKinney is the capital of the best
county in Texas agriculturally
speaking. Collin has a greater diver-
sity of productions than perhaps any
other county that makes any preten-
| tions whatever to growing the great
staple crops on a large scale, such as
corn, cotton, wheat and oats. To
help the farmer still further, McKin-
ney is opening up a creamery, which
will do much towards developing the
dairy Industry and tend to empha-
size and intensify the diversification
habit that has been so rapidly tak-
ing hold of our farmers during the
past few years.
McKinney badly needs an electric
railway outlet westward. Why not
McKinney and Denton get down to
business and build one? They can
do it.
McKinney presents a splendid
opening for the establishment of a
high class college with industrial
features. The town needs it and
would liberally patronize a meritor-
ious institution.
The domestic troubles of the
Gould family have furnished more
than their share of the headliners in

The special. Illustrated, real es-
tate and industrial edition of the
San Antonio Express, issued Monday,
June 14, takes its place as one of
the greatest editions of a similar na-
ture ever issued by any Southern
newspaper. The edition consists of
about one hundred pages, covering
all of Southwest Texas and & por-
tion of Mexico, San Antonio’s trade
territory, In a very comprehensive
rolanner, and sets forth the manifold
advantages of the Alamo City in a
manner that can not fail to favora-
bly impress every reader. It is a
magnificent newspaper from every
point of view and reflects credit up-
on every department of this great
journal.

in league with H. E. Singleton. Both

Dallas county is to have an $875,-
000 bond election August 3. Of that
amount $275,000 is to be used on
the roads and bridges and to raise
the bridges over Trinity river, and
$600,000 is to build a great viaduct
from Dallas to Oak Cliff across Trin-
ity river. The great flood of 1908
swept away all bridges, railway and
atreet car connection between the
city and its suburb. The proposed
viaduct Is to be of such a permanent
nature as to be capable of withstand-
ing even such another flood. Its
construction will be a great triumph
for the city of Dallas, upon which
metropolis the eyes of all Texas are
already fixed in an admiring manner
because of its lusty growth and pro-
gressive spirit.

The Georgetown Commercial does
not think it worth while for i| to
“boost” Its town from a commercial
standpoint. It says: “A newspaper
can never very creditably represent
a town whose business men do not
advertise. He may howl himself
hoarse bragging about the vim, en-
ergy and enterprise of his town, but
if his declarations are not hacked up
by a liberal amount of advertising
by the business men of the town, the
world will be slow to take his state-
ment as true. It takes more than
the unsupported testimony of the lo-
cal newspaper man to prove to the
world that his town is the financial
center, the business center, the mar-
ket, and the best place on earth to
buy goods; his evidence needs cor-
roboration."
The big trees of California are the
oldest living things in the world.
Estimates made from cross sections
of some «f those which have fallen
show that the mature trees are
more than 4.000 years old. There
are trees still flourishing vigorously
in the Calaveras grove, which were
pretty well grown at a time, which
antedates the pyramids of Egypt.
They were centuries old when Home
was founded, and when Columbus
started on his voyage of discovery
they were hoary with age. Compar-
ed with these giant sequoias every
other living thing in the world is a
creature of today, and there are on-
ly a few evidences of man’s handi-
work still in existence—some of the
iuins of ancient Greece and Assyria
—that were constructed at an earlier
date.
The man who is not financially
able to make big donations and buy
large blocks of stock in public enter-
prises for the benefit of the town,
but who keeps eternally hammering
on the text that his is the best town
and'country on earth, is worth more
to his town than the millionaire who
refuses to take stock in any enter-
prise and scoffs at every effort put
forth to secure new enterprises.—
Garland News. Commenting on this
the Dallas Times Herald .ays: The
poor man who is loyal to his town is
worth one hundred rich men who are
disloyal. Those who do not like a
town and who are forever knocking
It should move to some other loca-
tion. Better that one hundred
“knockers" with capital should mi-
grate than one loyal man without a
cent. He is a benefit. They are a
detriment.
Chairman Jake Wolters of the
State anti-prohibition campaign
committee, is authority for the
statement that the antis are going to
try to capture the next legislature.
He says “We are going Into every
legislative district In the State and
elect Representatives who will obey
the instructions of their constituents,
and the prohibitionists will find
when they come to the test next time
that they have lees strength than
they had In the Legislature that has
just adjourned." This challenge
will be accepted by the pros. The
contest Is sure to be a warm one.
The antis have practically all the
larger dailies with them, but the pros
have a majority of the country pa-
pers and, we believe, a majority of
the masses on their side. The saloon
is dying hard In Texas—but surely
dying.
Dinner parties In high life In New
York must be pleasant affairs, re-
marks the Dallas Times Herald. It
continues: It Is evidence In the
Gould divorce case, that on ond oc-
casion when Mrs. Howard Gould was
entertaining two swell society wo-
men, at an afternoon function, the
curtain was rung down on a Donny-
brook Fair wind-up. One of the
guests, it Is reported, had her arm
bitten, the other woman was bruised
up, while the hostess was found in
the cellar of the mansion nurning a
black eye. “Can such things be, and
overcome us like a summer cloud
without our special wonder?" asks
Shakespeare. Had the Immortal
bard lived in this time, the Incidents
narrated might have induced him to
write a play on “The Merry Wives of
Gotham," to which the “Merry Wives
of Windsor" would have had to play
second fiddle.

memorials of the South of perennial
interest lo southerners and others,
but as materials for the historian.
Southerners rejoice that ample funds
are available. “And some day,"
says the New Orleans States, “the
South will have also a memorial of
the devotion aud heroism and sacri-
fices of the women of the Confedera-
cy. Designs for state monuments
were erhlbited at the Memphis re-
union, but they represented the
southern woman as a goddess of
war—a militant, aggressive figure.
The veterans reached a wise conclus^
ion when they deckled thal titat*1**g

graciousness of the typical sot them

both those that pay honor to its sol-
diers and statesmen and those that
commemorate the noble part played
by Its women are of very great value.
They hold before the present and fu-
ture generations the ideal, the In-
fluence of which for good can not
but be great. They are the Inspira-
tion of patriotism and seif-sacrificing
public spirit in the present by their

BACK TALK.
H. B. Wilkerson sold 900 bushels
of wheat off fifty acres of Denton
county land and got $25.20 an acre
for his crop.— Denton Record and
Chronicle.
The North Texas farmer will have
to harvest several such good crops
as the above to even up on the three
or four preceding total failures on
wheat. No doubt the wheat acreage
will be larger next year, but farmers
have learned from sad experience it
is unsafe to run such large portions
of their land in grain. The big wheat
fields have been permanently cut up
for smaller farming to be conducted
on a diversification basfs.
We learn indirectly that because
he had exercised an American free-
man’s right, and done a Christian
minister's duty by denouncing the li-
quor traffic as an enemy of the home
and the State, that Rev. Patrick
Murphy, Catholic priest of Henrietta,
was wantonly and brutally assaulted
by a liquor man in that city recently.
We are unable at this time to give
the details, but Mr. Murphy Is a
Christian gentleman, a patriot, and a
law-abiding citizen, and we feel as-
sured that the assault was wholly
unjustified and unjustifiable. We
can assure our brother that the hun-
dreds who have learned to admire
him through knowledge of his fear-
less fight for prohibition will deeply
sympathize with him In this humilia-
tion. “Blessed are ye when men
shall persecute you and revile you."
"Be thou faithful unto death. and I
will give you a crown of life."—

Rev. Patrick Murphy was formerly
priest at Wylie and during the last
local option campaign in Collin coun-
ty did effective service for prohibi-
tion on the hustings. His courteous
bearing and considerate words for
those who differed from him on any
subject, won him many words of
commendation and made him a pow-
er on the stump. His Ill-treatment
reported above is regretted by his
many friends in this county, and its
effect will do the liquor cause no
good In Texas.
Poultry fanciers have had a suc-
cessful spring. More chicks were

from yielding a return commensurate
with the labor, Investment and re-

PRESS COMMENT.
In our humble opinion Governor
Campbell made a serious mistake
when he slashed the appropriations
made by the legislature for educa-
tional and elemosynary institutions.
A low tax rate is to be desired, but It
is a mistake to cripple the institu-
tions for the sake of pruning a few
mills from the tax rate. The gover-
nor’s veto was intended to save the
man of moderate means a nickel, the
man In easy circumstances a dime
and the rich man from a quarter to a
dollar, but It crippled the education-
al institutions and will make the lot
of the insane and cither unfortunates
harder. .As a friend of our chief ex-
ecutive the Signal regrets that he
saw fit to use his blue pensil so free-
ly.—Honey Grove Signal.
Just how an undersized amateur
like Bascom Thomas should get it
into his coco that, he is sizable gu-'
bernatorlal timber is one of the in-
explicable mysteries of modern poli-
tics. However, one may be permit-
ted to guess that his experience in
the last legislature is the moving
cause of his present aspirations. He
Is probably laboring under the hal-
lucination that the senate in kicking
him out of that body made of him
both a martyr and a hero at one
swift swishing swing of sole leather.
Had Bascom backed up his charges
like a man this view might possess
some merit, hut the gentleman from
Sulphur Springs did nothing of the
kind. On the other hand he weak-
ened and fluked and finally apologiz-
ed to the Senate—and got kicked out
Just the same, which he deserved,
for being such a nerveless numb-
skull, If for no other reason. The
people of Texas will scarcely honor
a man with the high office of gover-
nor who possesses no qualification
therefor further than a blue spot on
his anatomy to indicate where the
sole leather landed.—Terrell Tlmes-

Sunday morning one of the most
forcible illustrations of the need of
good roads possible wur given right
here in Plano. A local undertaker
was called to the country to conduct
a burial. The rains on Friday and
Saturday had made the roads heavy
and it required four horses to draw
the hearse, likewise the wagon bear-
ing the box and burial casket. And
yet in the face of this condition
when it rains there are many people
who contend that our public high-
ways are good enough.—Plano Stnr-

In point of wealth Collin county la
far and away ahead of Denton, yet
the mere mention of a bond Issue for
road purposes is sufficient to cause
taxpayers In some localities to throw
several different kinds of fits. How-
ever, the mile of demonstration
road out of Plano has stood the test
of heavy traffic and won many advo-
cates to the good roads proposition.

tion and education Collin will In

of countie* clamoring for better pub-
lic highways.—Plano Star-Courier.

PromuDul to the “Make-Up.*
(Indianapolis News.)
The keen wit of an Irish printer
from Kentucky confined at the
Marion county workhouse gained for
him the admiration of Mayor Book-
waiter and incidentally his release
from thaf institution. The printer
went to the workhouse in an auto-
mobile patron wagon, but he left it
in au automobile touring car wl'ti^
the mayor as a fellow passenger.
It will be remembered that tho
mayor was formerly a printer and
that he still carries a card. Hence
printers in trouble give him the high
sign of distress and profit thereby.
The “high sign’’ from the man in
the workhouse <li<l not go to tho
mayor direct, but through a mutual
"print” friend. ,
The letter that led to the printer’s
release was written to a fellow-print-
er. who in turn gave It to the mayor,
and was dated at the workhouse.
“For the love of heaven, send or
bring me some plug tobacco," wrote
the printer, “and some stamped en-
velops. ] have a little money, hut
want to save It to get away with
when my 110 days are up at this
Hotel d’lndustrie. Must have ac-
cumulated an elegant stand of re-
freshments after I left you, as after
a twenty-four hour nap at the police
station 1 awakened to a charge of
pulling a gun on a man.
“I remember the gun all right,
but nothing at ull about the mixup.
Don’t say anything to the hoys, as
I don't care to be ‘kidded’ the rest
of my life, I have adapted myself to
circumstances and have already
learned to walk like a duck and eat
like that barnyard quadruped which
'divideth the hoof, but cheweth not
the cud.’ Am now a full-fledged
member of the Rock Picker’s Bang-
fest.
“If you come out, come direct to
the building; don’t go around by the
police station and come in the wag-
on—that's the way I got in bad.
“This is my first experience In
this line and I must say It is not ex-
actly the sort of recreation l would
have chosen for my declining years.
Also. I don’t like to stay in my
apartment quite so close. The life
here Is very simple; get up at 6 a.
m. and go to bed at 6 p. m. Meals
are served en fanillle In a large
salle a’ manger with attentive young
men. armed with clubs, stationed
about to see that none of the guesta
is dissatisfied. We are allowed to
write twice a month and to receive
reproachful friends on the first WeCjf
nesday in each month. ^
“Well, I'm here and going to make
the best of It. but when I get out In-
diana will be a mere speck on the
horizon in about two blinks. If you
have any magazines of a vintage
later than 1492. they would be like
manna in the desert. Thanking you
for past favors and heaping $ bless-
ings on your head for those I am
hereby trying to work you for, I
am, yours, Terry."
The mayor Inclosed the letter with
a note lo Judge Whallon, saying that -
he was satisfied that a man with so
much humor in his makeup as the
printer seemed to have, was In-
capable, when in his right mind, of
harboring designs against (he life of
any one.
The judge's answer came back In
the way of a release written on the
hack of the envelope. The mayor
oallpd an automobile and hurried to
the workhouse. There he found the
printer placing dishes on the table In
the dining-room.
“Hello," said the mayor, In sur-
prise; “i thought you said you were
on the rock pile."
"There has been a promotion In
the office," returned the “print,"
“I iu on the make-up now."
Then the mayor brought the print-
er to town in an automobile and In a
little more than “two blinks" that
worthy was on a train, bound for hit
old Kentucky home, where “guns"
may be carried with impunity.
