The Rev. Sterling P. Strong
says that it is the saloons' the *well as the man who keeps
prohi’s are after. Next year’s

pose to try for the flesh pots of
the political Egypt enroute.—
Paris Advocate.
In order to finally oust the sa
loons it may be necessary to
capture the fleshpots at the pri
mary mext year. Besides the
flesh pots haue long been operat-
ed in the interest of the saloon,
add it would be nothing but fair
to change it around for awhile.
The following from an ex-
change contains more truth than
poetry:
You’d scarcely expect one of
my age, In merchandising to en-
gage, and hope to get a paying
trade without the local paper’s
aid. And yet I did that very
thing; I opened up a store last
spring—this month the sheriff
took my stock and sold it at the
auction block. Don’t view me
with a scornful eye, but simply
say as I pass by: There goes a
fool who seemed to think that
he had ne use for printer’s ink.”

Speaking sneeringly of preach-
ers is a trait of character eome
people seem to cultivate with
satisfaction. Of course preach-
ers are not infallible: It is hu-
man to err, and they are, after
all, merely human beings. There
are, doubtless, black sheep in
the flock, but they are the ex-
ception. Most of them lead
pure lives and are devout men,
earnetly striving to elavate the
morals of the community and
raise the standard of Christian
citizenship. The fall of one
preacher, theretofore, is made
the pretext for indiscriminate
criticism from certain sources,of
the entire brotherhood.—Dun
can (Ok.) Banner.
My observation has been that
thos* men who sneer most at the
preachers for any faults they
may have are the men who live
least Uke. they claim preachers
ougnt’to Jive, After all there is
as mdclx efecuse for the preach-
er’s weakness as there is for the
weakness of anv man.—Bonham
News.
The really good man never
expects a preacher to be ary
better than he himself is. Don't
cuss the preacher, it will do him
no harm, and brand you as a
wicked man yourself.
Dame Fashion is a foxy old
girl and he* ways are devious
and a mere man is not competent
to either analyze nor criticise
her productions but this editor
wants to compliment her on her
millinery for the spring trade.
Not many days ago be discovered
that she was making hats out of
pudding pans and covering them
with various and sundiy shades
of satin and other shiny clytb.
The pans are the regulation
sort that we used to get peach
and potato cobbler hi when our
mothers were at the helm of af-
fairs. This is the most sensible
thing dame Fashion has ever
done for when the fair one who
wears the pan wants to change
she can take off the shiny cloth
and use the pan to bath the
children in. Denton can beat any ^°vernor *°d there should arise
The one puzale that Is oon
fronting the polltioians of Texas
just now Is who will be in the
race for Governor. When that
is decided another puzzle will
confront the opportunist—the
man who wante to get Into «he
band wagqp and that is, who is
the strongest man In the raoe.
To a great, many people Hl» of
much more importanoe to bo on,
the winning side than it Is to be
on the right side, .
The next eempaigU will be
different in many respects from
any that has ever been waged
In Texas before. The biggest
thing that will eater Into it will
of oourse be the prohibition
question. Another difference
will be the intelligence of the
vote cent.
Several thipgB have transpired
to make tbd people think and to
educate ftttetoalong political as
well as all other Hues. Foremost
among these Is the Farmers
Union which keeps its members
posted end Informed along ell
lines that touche them either
directly or Indirectly. Another
thing la free’ rural delivery that
has enabled the uouotry people
to have dally papers and keep in
as closs touch with the world
as does the min in tha city.
There are several men who
are talked df'as possible candi-
dates, among1 theta are Judge
Ramsey, Cone Johnson, A tty.
Gen Davidson, Lieut. Davidson,
M. M. Brooks, O. B. Colquit,
Tom Love, knd last but not
least, Gas Shaw of Texarkana.
Mr. Shew was here this week
and there art few men in Tex-
as Who knows moro people U^un
does be. He la particularly
strong among the farmes and
whoever is strong with the
farmers is strong with the labor
people for id all their fights
they are leagued against their
common enemy, speolal interest
and predatory wealth, and join
forces in all tnatfcirs of legisla-
tion affecting ea&h other.
In a statement to me Wednes
day Mr. Shaw said that he had
not yet made np his mind as to
whether he would make the race
or not, but It Is more than
probable that be will—in fact,
it is likely that he will be In the'
race when the gong sounds and
will be in the running from the
state. He is a friend of the
people and says that If be were
little has been accomplished is
the tray of legislation. Tl»e
people who have opposed tlie
policHik of the Governor have
been able to keep nearly all the
matters recommended by him
from coming to a vote, but with
each passing it looks like he
would have his way yet In having
tb*m pass on the matters that
h#| has recommended. Of course,
he wants to see them enacted
into law, but if be oannot bave
that he wants to see them come
to a vote and place the eredit or
blame for their defeat where it
belongs.
By the time the readers of
The Times gets this the second
called session of the 31st will be
on ahd no one knows yet where
it will end. It looks to me like
the shortest wsy to an end de-
sired by *11 members as well as
the people of Texas is to let
these measures come to a vote,
pass them or defeat them and
adjourn. If a majority want
them let them bjeome laws, if
not let them go into the grave

The Business of Farming.
We are Just awakenin' te- the fact
that the value of farm land Is rap-
idly Increasing In America. Ever since
tha discovery of the continent there
have been vast tracts of unoccupied
land subject to free settlement until
now. We have at last filled up the
•ontlnent and sli the land worth till-,
ing to under ownership;. We are doing
much by Irrigation to reclaim the arid
lands, hut these are rapidly filled np
aa soon as they are made tillable.
Relieved of the pressure of vacant
lands, there can be no doubt that the
value of farms will continue to rise
and the value of farm products will
rtos with them. The preseat depres-
sion In the commercial and Industrial
world has caused no drop tn the pries
of farm products, no particular de-
grease in the oost of liking Indeed, it
has increased, U meaaui-ed by wages.

The queen bee is a great antagon

been known to lay 4.000 eggs a'day for,”'J1
a year, the number lessening after >,
that to 1,200 and going forward at
that ratio for another two years.
With 50,000 beeB to ti e colony that
single praiseworthy queen laid enough
eggs to establish 45 colonies. Bee
keepers figures on a net Income of
three dollars a colony each year, if
the owners of tbe bee under dlsoue
aton profited from her labors to that
extent the gain was |14S. It Is not
to be presumed that any such results
were obtained. To argue so much In
