Fifty-
Jury Finds Him Guilty of Killing
Levi McGuffcy.
J. W. Johnson, charged with kill-
ing Levi M©Guffey in April, 1910,
of Dallas was found guilty of mur-
der in the second degree and sen-
tenced to fifty-one years’ oonfinq-
meat in the stale penitentiary. The
Jury was out a little more than
i one hour.
With the rendition of this ver-
diot last night a record was broken
in the history of Dallas ootanty
criminal jurisprudence in that three
men were convicted of murder in
one week. Frank Morgan, con-
victed of killing G. W. L. Perry,
was sentenced to life imprisonment.
■ Fred Simmons, convicted of kill-
ing Josephine Fuller, was senten-
ced to fifty years in the state pen
itanti&ry.
The trial of the Johnson case
was (begun Thursday at noon mid
the case went to the jury yesterday
a few minutes before 6 o'clock. The
court limited tho argument to two
• and a half hours to the side. John

He ought to look sad all the time,
because he's awful poor,
But Mister Rusty Ranigan, he's .al-
ways got a smile;
He says a laugh don't cost a cent,
and worry ain't worth while.
Hit fare an’ hair an’ eyes is brown;
his coat is rusty, too,
I guess it might have been black
onoe, the time when it was new
An’ ou bis face is little lines that
pucker up his eyes,
(Btcauno be laughs so much, I
guess—you bet ho never cries.
An’ yet some times right in a smile
that wrinkles tip his face
Tho queerest look comes in his
eyes—Like somethin’ out of
place—
Just csorter like ho wants to cry,
but has to hold it in,
An’ wrinkles up his face that way
into a happy grin.
But sho’, he never wants to cry;
lie's poor as ho can be,
But Mister Rusty Ranigan don't,
feel like you tin’ me—

and sentenced to life imprisonment 1 1 u“ ** *“*'*

The Banking
| Habit
No farmer or other business man gets along well
unless he is a man of good habits.
One of the good habits of the good farmer is the
banking habit. This habit not only insures the safety
of his money and trains him in those financial methods
that aid business success, but if the banking habit
brings him to this bank, it places within his reach
many other aids to buisness success.
He finds, in this bank, an advisor and friend,
ready at all times to assist him.
The habit of coming to this bank has helped
hundreds in difficult situations.
Besides that, they have always found it a pleasant
place to come, and they have always been glad of their
connection with us.

rompliehed 'he government is
ing its duty until that is
plished greatness and glory wit
follow as a natural sequence; who
(has no fears of how* wo aio, re-
garded; who does not care to waste
our wealth ami sap our energies in
extravagant display to excite the
admiration or inspire with Awe
foreign potentates and powers;
who is iqpre interested in being
than in aiming. "
A proposition comes up to me
that I want to submit to you, if
the newspapers will toe kind
enough to print. It is a request
from tbe state national guard to
vote for tho Pepper pay bill.
We have had from the foundatka
of ‘his government a state militia,
until Senator Dick, of Ohio, in-
troduced and got’ passed a bill,
January, 1910, placing the state
militia under the direct super-
vision and control «of the secretary
of war, and changing the name to
state national guards.
There was nothing in that bill,
about pay, but now they are knocks'
mg at the doors of congress and
asking ono-fiflh the pay of re-
gulars. The present estimated
cost of this toiU is ten million dol-
lars per year, With no limit to the
increase of guardsmen.
There were evidently two objects
in that bill. One, to organize a,
political machine, the other, to
form a compact organization that
tbe secretary of war would control,
and through which congress could
be forced to do his bidding. We
are now besot with petitions, re-
solutions and demands that we vote
for this bill. Of course tbe sec-
retary of war inspires the entreat-
The hackers of it say the'''pSyJ«|
so very little, so much cheaper thrig
a standing army, but they do
not accompany their petitions with
a request that the standing army
be decreased.
The army can’t Vote. Tho na-
tional guardsmen can. Every in-
crease in the pay of the army in-
creases tho pay of tho guardsmen.
Do you nog sew what a foroo this
will bo and the interest they would
have in increasing the pay of the
army? Also they would bo e<luca-
tod to be lie vo our standing army
should be increased. Each olficer
of th's guard would like, of course,
to go into tho regular army.
Another one of their argument
is tliat our standing army ie not
sufficient for our national defenses.
Of course wo have no need of a
defense unless wo ano assailed, wo
have fourteen million able-bodied
Americans with sinews hardened
in thb factory, at ho forgo, end
on the farm who will answer their
oountry’s call. . This forms the
real defense, ami will as long as
self-reliant, able-bodied and in-
dependent yeomanary want to de-
fend it. When they no longer
want to defend it, the government
wdl have ceased to do evenhandod
justice to its real defenders, the
pillars on which rests the republic.
I do not want to burden ourselvd
to maintain a standing army to de-
fend the government against us.
Nobody in this country is scored
that we are going to bo devoured
|.y foreigners fait) the artny, Utg
navy, and those guardsmen. Tho
fact that they are always soared j
is proof conclusive that we could |
not depend on them should a pool)
emergency arise, which is extremelj
improbable. Wo arc about a hun-
dred and thirty yoars old, and have
not yet had any trouble defending
ou reelves. We have had some
fighting in this country that makes
the moat heroic page in tho world’s
history, but it was done by volun-
teers.
