Politicians that can't bear relig ious inspection must be very unsav ory. There must be a hitch down in McLennan The Waco Times-Herald says: "The Wynne candidacy hasn't brought out the dogwood blossoms, but it's young yet." A Washington special says: "Sen ators Aldrich and Bailey believe the senate will probably vote on the Al drich currency bill Friday or Satur day of next week." Paired again' The Houston Post and its North Texas co-laborer, the Fort Worth Record, are hot because an article from the Kansas City Star, which lists Senator Bailey with the alleged congressional millionaires, has been republished in Texas. These papers say he is riot worth a million. N'o, he is not worth that to Texas Poor Colonel! The boys are aft*τ him. The Garland News makes this observation about his candidacy: "Col. Dick Wynne will make just about an even race in the attorney generals contest with the socialist candidate for president. The bosses should be ashamed to delude an old inan into the slaughter pen." τιιη μ:ηνι·λιί:κ man. "The man wlio edits (he average country newspaper cannot well avoid treading on somebody's toes : contieually; must expect to be cen sured often for unintentional fail j ures; must expect hard work and little thanks; must expect to be call i ed a coward 1 «cause he does not I 'pitch into' everything that some body thinks is wro'ig i'nd a fool if he speaks out too plainly on public : evils; he rnuet expect to grind other people's axef — and turn the grlnd ! stone hl/iisel*. Ptil' we think it is i one of the noblest professions on oarth; the one In which the earnest man can do the most good to his fellowman, and in which he an hon orable man, can wield much power for good," says the Mount Pleasant Times-Review. This is the truth, and we are often Impressed with the proneness of good citizens to call upon the local newspapers to per form some unpleasant task that he refuses to do. Often we are asked to peel some individual or call attention to some local matter with the strict injunction to not use the name of the man making the request. He does not want to make any of his fellow townsmen angry, but forgets that the editor may be equally reluctant to make a personal enemy out of possibly a friend. But the average newspaper man does make such ene mies because he feels it to be his duty to represent the best interests of the community and then he often gets credit for being a scold instead of being credited with performing an unpleasant duty.—Abilene Reporter. Every newspaper editor in Texas of experience is prepared to give the above his unqualified approval. No class of men do nearly so much free work for the benefit of the public than newspaper editors, and fre quently they do not even get a word •of approval for the good and unsel fish work they are doing for their respective localities, much less a substantial financial support. The Mount Pleasant Times-Review and the Abilene Reporter, both able pa pers, have done well to call public attention to the injustice that is too often done the newspapers by un thinking people. It may cause at least some of their readers to be more lenient in the future.—Fort Worth Star. An Knnis special to the Fort Worth Record says: "Col. J. S. Har dy, editor of the Knnis Daily News, said today, 011 reading a list of Ellis countyites appointed at Waxahachie to attend the Waco anti-Bailey meet ing, that they had appointed every anti-Bailey man in the county ex cept himself." Just to make the j thing unanimous and to relieve the languish of the Record's correspond I ent at Ennis we move that Colonel ! Hardy be added to the list of dele gates and feel safe in saying in ad j vance that the motion will carry. It I is gratifying to know that, even I though slighted by the committee ! who named the delegates as printed, Colonel Hardy stuck to his colors. By reason of careful study the I Denison Herald has grown to be authority on the split-log drag. That paper says: "The road that knows not the touch of the split-log drag is the road that is fuU of deep ruts, chug holes and gullies. Every rain makes it worse and everyone who is ι ι forced to drive over it wonders why ! someone does not get busy and fix I it. The men who ought to wake up are the men who own property along the road and who are forced to use I it in hauling their produce to mar I ket. A little co-operation under in | teillgent direction Is all that is need ! ed to bring results that will be pleas i ing." Senator Looney did not intend to ι J cross himself in his pronouncement, I but this is the way he did it: "I ! leave the race for reasons purely I personal, without a feeling of pique I or dissastisfaction toward anjone. I with the belief, however, that had 1 j remained in the race 1 would have ' received the nomination. * « * » » i It would, therefore, be little short | of presumption for a man of my age j and experience in public affairs to I contest for this honor with this he- ' roie old Confederate soldier.'

If we lose we will ridtcv.led for allowing τ woman to ben» us aad if we win we will be belittled, for winning from a woman." So deposeth the cynical and wo man-wlse Mr. Woodbury, president of the Columbia University Debating union, as he spat refectively upon the floor while airing his views of "skirts" In general and Miss Eliza beth A. Cook in particular. Miss Sook, it will be remembered, won a place on the Cornell debating team, which is to meet the Columbia team at Ithaca next Friday. The un allant Columbians protested against Miss Cook's debating on the ground that the more chivalrous judges might be influenced in their decision by her presence on the Cornell team, regardless. as there is 110 rule to prevent the appearance of Miss Cook, the Colum bians have accepted the situation with very bad grace and will play the game accor9ing to the rule.·* The windjammers of Dr. Butler's institu tion of learners would have saved themselves a great deal of ridicule] if they had reached this philosophi cal conclusion sometime ago instead of making a public display of their hot heads and cold, very cold nether extremities. I'ity Poor Ole Virginia. There is an old proverb as to the proper origin of charity, which I refrain from repeating because it was long since worn out. but which might be made applicable to the ι "chairity show" to be pulled off by j Mrs. Waldorf Astor and her society | leaders at the Plaza hotel next week. ! The entertainment, which promises j to be a scream is for the benifit of ! the poor whites of the Virginian ; mountains, to the utter neglect of : the poor whites of the East Side, j New York. Mrs. Astor spent her girlhood days' in the Old Dominion and the pub lic is informed that her "sympa thies go out" to the poverty stricken mountaineers of her native state. When one considers that the pro gram of the charity show includes nine living pictures, four dances and a pantomime, in which Mrs. Astor will play Pierrette in "Le Revellion de Pierrette, ' and that the costumes will cost many thousands of dollars, it is impossible to doubt or mis trust the reticent and unostentatious spirit of philanthropy which ani mates the leaders of the social Pour Hundred. New York, Xcw Jersey. Social divisions in the metropolis are not, based entirely on ratings in Dttnn and Bradstreet. The West. Side scorns the East Side, the Harlemite looks down upon the resident of the Bronx and all Manhattan flings shafts of satire at the citizen of ; Brooklyn. And the butt of all jokes is the lowly person, who commutes to New Jersey. There is a story of a westerner who, when asked where he was from, drew a revolver and replied. "From Arkansas. Now laugh, darn you!" In the past, some such forcible meas ures would have been necessary to prevent the Jerseyite from becoming the object of the pitying smiles of , New Yorkers. But every dog has his day. The Jerseyite will have his next Thurs day, when the new North river sub way will be opened with a blare of trumpets and a flutter of flags and a burst of subterranean oratory. Presi dent Roosevelt will press a button inaugurating the ceremonies and Governor Hughes of New York and Governor Fort of New Jersey w ill j start from their respective states at the same time, meeting on the state line under the river. The new tube, it is expected, is but the predecessor of many others, which will bring the cities and towns of North Jersey in closer connection 1 with the business districts of the | metropolis than is the Bronx or Harlem. With the solving of the transpor-j tation problem, the time is probably] not far distant when North Jersey j will be the site of a single city great- \ er far than Brooklyn and when the home address of millions of New j Yorkers will he, not New York, Ν. | Y., hut New York. N. .1. To Try Itaymond Hitchcock. j Raymond Hitchcock, the gifted j comedian who has made thousands i laugh by his impersonation of "The Yankee Tourist," will assume a more serious role on Monday, when he is cited to appear in court to answer to charges of assault made by girls ] 3 and I 4 years of age. Shortly after the indictment was made last fall, Hitchcock myster iously disappeared and an under study was forced to assume the role of "The Yankee Tourist," He was "seen" in many places, in Massachu setts, in the South, in Canada and on a steamer bound for Europe, be fore he returned to explain his ab sence on the plea of illness. GOVKHNOR Hl'GHKS IN WKST. New York's Kxecutlve Addresses a Chicago Meeting. Chicago, r'eb. 22.—Republicans all over the central west are await ing with a great deal of interest the speech of Governor Hughes of New York fetore the Union League chit* in Chic^o tonight This is the Em pire stajp chief executive's first in vasion of the West since he became a presidential possibility. It is -de clared by the supporters of Hughes here that his visit to Chicago is not intended to be in any sense an in vasion of Speaker Cannon's territory. The local committee has received communications from scores of west ern cities asking that Governor Hughes be urged to extend his trip. The great desire shown by repub licans in the west to see and hear him is considered one of the most significant phases of the president ial situation. Requests for the Gov ernor's presence in Western States have been coming in ever since the adjournment of the legislative ste sion last summer, when it is thought he would be at leisure to travel. But it was not until he had delivered his address on national issues before the Republican Club in New York that the pressure became really great. That address before the republicans met with a most gratifying reception but nowhere more so than from the republicans of the middle West. The I newspapers in all liiis great section I of the country gave up an unexpect ed amount of space to it, and the comments both by the newspaper j press and by individual republicans [ have been complimentary to a de- ! gree.
