BURKIN'S MESS

So well pleased were the members
of the Real Estate exchange, who
heard the address of E. O. Burton
last ntght, that they passed a resolu
tion asking their directors to arrange
for its repetition before an audience
of a general character. The mer
chants and jobbers and manufactur
ers will be asked to attend this meet
ing. Mr. Burton talked about the
opening of Aransas Pass, showed on
a wall map what was being done
down there and demonstrated that
until deep water was secured San
Antonio would be the victim of the
railroads. As the rate sheets are now
made, he declared, Houston has an
undue advantage over this city in
shipping. He declared that San An
tonio must have factories before it
attains any considerable importance,
but that factories cannot be operated
successfully here until better rates
are obtained. One means of getting
the change in rates, he says, is to as
sist in the work of opening Aransas
Pass.

Stormy Tale of Two Conti

Leavenworth. Kan., Feb. 24.—Julius
P. McDonough, a singular character
with a criminal record cn two conti
nents. who has given more trouble
than any other half dozen prisoners,
has been released from the federal
prison.
He was received February 15. 1901,
In his youth he had followed the sea
and later served as a soldier in the
British army. He enlisted in the
American army and was sent from
Fort Myer, Va., to serve ten years
for stabbing a comrade.
He was identified as Martin McMa
hon, who killed a comrade on the
Isle of Malta. After sixteen years'
imprisonment he' was given a "ticket
of leave.” In May. 1900, he violated
the parole by coming to the United

The man is said to have been edu
cated for the priesthood, but alleged
misconduct, it is said, prevented his
taking holy orders. He Is said to have
fine ability.
In the old days people used to jump
when the political boss cracked his
whip. Now they soak him behind the
ear with a brick-bat.

As Moses to Poor
Society Man and Club Member
Accused of Muckraking Tells
Why He Leaves Beaten Path.
(Frederick Townsend Martin,
world famous society man. has given
his first public interview to the cor
respondent of the Daily Light. He
answers the question that is stirring
society: 'What is the matter with
| Freddy Martin?" —Editor.
(By XV. G. Shepherd.)
New York. Feb. 24. —I asked Fred
erick Townsend Martin what was the
matter with him. Here he is with his
millions, his ancestors, his member
ship in the innermost circle, blasting
away in the magazines in the must
muckraking fashion. And he's put
ting out a book for all the common
people to read!
He led me into the cafe of the
luxurious hotel where he resides. It
was the tea hour. About us were fas
cinating women. beautiful gowns,
wonderful gems. We were in a strong
hold of wealth.
"This is the first time I've ever
talked to a reporter about it." he said,
rather worriedly. “I know it seems
sensational. Why, I used to fear that
my dearest friends would close their
doors against me. But any man see
ing what I see and drawing the terri
ble conclusions I draw would be a
traitor to his country if he did not cry
out the truth.
“This nation is not a republic, be
cause the people do not rule. It's a
nation sleeping on a volcano, the vol
cano of the wrath of the millions of
the undertrod. The people are deter
mined to have a republic, at what
ever cost. They will overthrow every
obstacle until they own their own;
government. That's what I'm trying
to tell the rich of America, who reap
where the toilers have sown. The
rich must change things for them
selves or the people will change
things for them."
“I get hundreds of letters from the!
richest people in the United States'
asking me what they ought to do. (
Some of them, with swollen and un
fairly earned fortunes, are hearing
very disturbing rumbles.
"They ought to think more with
their hearts. They ought to stop
patronizing the poor and handing out
their petty charities. They ought to
love their fellow men.
"The American rich are drunk with
their gold. It comes to them so easily
right from the pockets of the toil
ers. They forget the suffering and
poverty. They forget that history
teaches that some day they must,
stop. They yearn for notoriety, hop
ing to become famous among the very
working people they are robbing.
"Famous? Infamous. I say! Hated!
Execrated! As if we are not all broth
ers and sisters; as if the same God
did not make us all!
"How proudly we used to say.
‘Capital and labor go hand in hand.’
But it wasn't true. It hasn't been true
for thirty years. It's neck in hand;
that's what it is—labor's neck in
capital's fingers.”
"Are you a socialist?” I asked him.
"Goodness, no!
‘“I saw the rich growing richer and
richer. I saw society entertaining into
extravagances that no one less than a
king would have even thought of
thirty years ago. Where was their
money coming from?
"For the first time in my life I
became really interested in every-day
folks. I saw them suffering and bear
ing terrible burdens. I saw children
toiling. Then suddenly I knew that
the rich of America were saying to
the poor. "Work for your lives! Work
for your lives!”
"I saw a government of the rich,
by the rich, for the rich, I saw that
the rich had got hold of the machin
ery of government—presidents, law
makers. heads of colleges, newspa
pers.
"Believe me. we rich suffer, too. If
I could only tell you the tragedies I
have known in American society!
Ruined homes, ruin lives, ruined souls
strew the pathways of the idle rich of
America.
"I've been three years in writing
my book about the idle rich. But
things have grown so much worse
that now my book isn't half strong
enough.
"I haven't one ulterior motive in
talking as I do. I will never seek nor
take a political office. It may seem
odd for a man of my class io sud
denly discover that he has a mission
In life. But we’ve all got work to do
in setting things right. I am on fire
about this thing.”
Then he said goodbye. He was go-

to mean "down with him.”

SCROFULA
hereditary blood poison
j Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and ulceration
of the glands, especially about the j
■ neck. It is almost entirely hereditary |
in its origin, teing the dregs or re
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened j
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
j bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
talthal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro
gresses to the stage of outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. S. S. S., in addition to
_ cleansing and
purifying the
blood, assists the
NN N stomach and di-
gestive members
in the creation of
. ■. 1,1 new blood cor
pusclcs and other
nourishing mat
ter for the circu
lation. S. S. S. increases the resistive
powers of the system and by strength
ening and building up the vitality,
allows nature to make a perfect and
lasting cure. Book describing the

Cottolene is the original vegetable-oil cooking fat.
It is in a class by itself, and imitations approach it
only in claims— not in quality.
It has come to/our notice that cheap and inferior
imitations are being offered the public in some
communities as "just as good” as Cottolene.
There is no economy in buying such products
—even at a few cents less per pail than Cotto
lene is sold for. And this is why:
These products are of inferior grade, and
often made amid questionable surroundings.
Cottolene, being richer, will go one-third
farther than any of these products, lard or
cooking butter, and a few cent’s saving at the
start is not a saving in the end, but false
economy.
There’s but one Cottolene, and we make it.
