We are told, however, that, the
insurance board consists of three
men, one ot whom represents the
insurance companies and that it
is not st all unlikely that in the
deliberations, insurance compan-
ies’ideas dominate.
We do sot believe, either, that
the iosurance companies ha ye

the btate passed a law requiring
com pa o tea to make certain ir-
vestments if tbev did business in
the State, even then, after drop-

back and compHed with the laws
which required ’the expenditure
of a considerable amount of mon-

feel rather lonesome.
Some of our readers have men-
tioned certain articles which
bare appeared in our paper and
have failed to notice that the
artictes have been marked “Adv”
or as an advertisement. When-
ever an article so marked ap-
pears in our paper »t means that
we are paid for the publication of
the article, and does not mean,
. in the case of a candidate run*
ning for office, that we are giv-
ing our support to that candi-
date. It means that we are run-
ning the article as an advertise-
ment for which we are paid and
nothing more.
Thb Clarksville* Times is

Yes, Ceil. Jacob Wolters, is the
first mao in the history of this
commonwealth to offer himaelf
for this high and honorable po-
sition, who expended a large slush
fund to defeat an amendment to
vofe the salooas out of Texas, an
institution, according to figures
from the revenue report, which
took into their coffers last year
in the United States, two billion
dollars. He was the one to advo-
cate the life of a traffic, that
took every hour a quarter mil-
lion dollars -from the people, ev-
ery minute the value of a respi ct-
able residence four thousaod dol-
lar?; two times as much as the
total appropriations of Congress
last year; five and one-half times
the amount that it will require to
complete the Panama canals one
hundred and forty-three times
the cost of building our national
capitol, the hnest structure in
the world of the kind. Again it
will occur that Mr. Wolters is
the only man from Texas to offer
for a high position, who dis-
bursed vast* sums of money in an
election and tbea'postively refus-
ed to let^ the people take a peep
into his books.
Doubtless, the citizenship ot
Texas will all agree that Col. J.
Wolters stood bead and shoulders
above the greatest on his side of
the question and gave bis time,
money and influence to perpetu-
ate the life of whiskey in Texas!
which robs the home of her
youth, the school of her pupils,
the church of her members, the
State ot her manhood and God of
Hit children.
Truly, Mr. Wolters stands in a
class by himself. —Greenville

THE PALACE OF BLESSEDNES8.

His prescriptions

and these alone appreciate their merit
and are finding the blessings prom-
ised.
The Palsos of Blessedness.
The foundation of the Palace of Bless-
edness is Humility. None can ever hope
for a share in the Messianic Kingdom
except as he is bumble-minded. “Bless-
ed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is
the Kingdom of heaven.” To such and
such only will this great blessing cot-e
It would never do for God to accept
as a member of the Kingdom class one
possessed of the spirit of pride and
selfish ambition.
The Palace Reception Room, upon the
foundation of Humility, on the ground-
floor of the Palace, is the chamber ot
Sorrow—mourning. Only snch as know
what it is to be touched with the feel-
ings of human infirmities can be mem-
bers of the Royal Priesthood, which
by and by is to deal with and assist
back to harmony with God whoever
wills of all humanity

without the quality of meekness or

follower of Jesus must frequently go.
there to learn valuable lessons, with-
out which be could not make progress
in his faith-building and character-de-
velopment “Blessed are the meek, tot
they shall inherit the earth.” As mem
here of Messiah, heirs of God and
joint-heirs with Jesus their Lord, these
will come into the full possession of
the earth, for a thousand years; while
mankind will be uplifted out of sin
and death to perfect manhood, redeem
ed by Jesua.
The Diningroom: hunger for righteous-
ness. All who will be Jointrheirs with
Christ will be lovers of righteousness
«nii haters of iniquity, in likeness of
the Redeemer. It Is very important,
therefore, that In our Palace Bless-
edness we have s large and well ap-
pointed Dining Room, where our hun-
ger and thirst for righteousness may
be encouraged and satisfied at the same
time.* “Blessed are they who hunger
and thirst after righteousness, fqr they
shall he filled.” They will get their fill
of It. for their own perfection In the
First Resurrection, and In the estab-
lishment of righteousness in ail the
earth during the. thousand years of
the Messianic reign.
The Door of the Palace: Mercy. One
ot the most important lessons for the
New Creature to learn Is 10ve. sympa-
thy. mercy. In the Divine arrangement
we most go out and in at this door
constantly. Our own Imperfections
continually require Divine mercy and
should as continually Impress upon ns
the merciful disposition toward those
