Forget It.
Texas has passed through a cam-
paign almost without parallel, mark-
ed by the heat of passion and bitter-
ness of wo{ds. * There has been con-
>n qpdr
; dUjgPi
and a^spirit has been manifested not
i • keeping with the highest good of
thf ^tate.
Saturday the people of the state
spoke at the polls and the question of
official selection was settled. Those
who are to be in the desired places
for two more years were selected and
the voice of the electors was heard,
settling the questions under discus-
sion. The campaign with all of its
doubt is over. There remains but
one thing for the people of Texa? to do
and that is to forget it all—all of the
bitterness, all of the rancor, all of
the words of disagreement, all of the
the strife, all of the discord. Let
oblivion swallow up them all.
Forgetting all this, let the people
who have been divided on issues of
importance get together; let them
turn their mind* and hearts to but
one thing, and that is the question
of making better towns and cities'
and better rural communities. Let
them unite on propositions of this
kind. There is much and important
work to be done. Good roads are to
be built, 'highways to be improved-
enough of all of this kind of work to
engage the energy of all Texas citi-
zens for years to come. There is
work for all. Only in tkisway can
those things worthy of attention be
work for all. Only in this way can
people be rivited together. Let the
people of the state heed the call for
civic betterment, for commonwealth
improvement, and thus get busy.
As for the strife of campaign, the
kindred things—forget it all.—Waco

The sharp decline in cotton inci-
dent to rumors of a widespread Euro-
pe an war should give the Texas far-
mer something to think about.
As hostilities appeared more im-
minent; wheat rose stadily but cot-
ton dropped. Why ?
We have been told by the agricul-
tural preachers that the world was
at the mercy of the southern cotton
grower; that he was master of a great
acreage he could fluctuate its price
at will.
We have been told that the Ameri-
can cotton kings had but to raise
their fingers to make eastern, Eng-
dance to a wild tune.
We have been told that thby owed
it to themselves to do this thing; that
they ought to reduce the supply ar-
bitrarily. *
We have been told that the 15c cot-
ton could be had for the asking, and
that it was the southern farmer’s own
fault if he did not get it. *
We have been told that his failure
to do so was because he didn’t rea-
lize his^ own strength.
We have been told that he alone
stood between humanity and naked-
ness, and that is was only necessary
for him to put forth his hand to reap
a rich harvest of golden sheckels to
which he was entitled because of Jii*
independence.
The southern farmer has not been
quite such a fool as the agricultural
politicians took him fed*.
He understands that the price of
his product depends as much upon
the number of people who wear cot-
ton garments, and the quanity and va-
riety of garments they wear, as it
does upon the acreage.
He undersands that fashion and
clianging styles are really responsi-
ble for the great amount of cotton
consumed and that they have made
it a ]uxury rather than a necessity .
He realizes that people in many
parts of the world are buying more
clothes than they really need, and that
whenever circumstances reduce them
to the practice of economy the demand
for cotton immediately shrinks.
He realizes that hfe is not only de-
pendent on the eastern, English and
European manufacturers, but also up-
on what those manufacturers are able
to sell.
Wheat rises because, ^ ■ no matter
what happens in Europe, people must
have bread. Cotton falls because, if
thousands of men are called on to
the batt’efield at small pay, manu-
factories will not only have to shut
down but many people will have to do
with less clothes.
People can get along with less cloth-
es, but people mus* have three meals
a day, and wheat and corn have to
come to be the most dependable food-
stuffs in the world.
* Incidentally the cavortings of the
cotton market during the past several
days should admonish the Texas far-
mer as to the expediency of engag-
ing in the growing of more diversi-
fied crops, a:.d not stake his all on
one staple which, after all, does no
more than conform to the absolute
needs and necessities of mankind.—
Houston Chronicle.
NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Bonham People Should Learn to De-
tect the Approach of Kidney
Disease.
The symptoms of kidney trouble
are many. Disordered kidneys often
excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by a sensation of
scalding. The back may ache, head-
aches and dizzy spells occur and
the victim is often weighted down by a
feeding of languor and fatigue. Neg-
lect these warnings and there is dan-
ger. Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better endorsed kid-
ney remedy than Doan’s Kidney
Pills. Here’# Bonham proof of their
merit.
Mrs. M. J. Smith, Bonham, Texas,
says: “I was troubled by a heavy,
dull ache across my back, caused, no
doubt, by heavy lifting. At times I
was laid up for several days and of-
ten the kidney secretions were unnat-
ural, causing me annoyance. Hear-
ing of Doan’s. Kidney Pills, I procur-
ed a box at the Saunders Drug Co. I
found great benefit through using
them. Whenever I feel suA attacks
coming on now, I immediately begin
using Doan's Kidney Pills. They give
relief.”
Price 50c, at a^l dealers. Don’t
simply ask for ar kidney remedy-=r-get
Doan’s Kidney Piils—the same that
Mrs. Smith had. Foster-Milbum Co.,
