POLITICS
IN TEXAS
Hearst News Service.
Houston, Texas, August 11.—Both
the Democrats and Republicans of Tex
as will hold conventions today, the for
mer meeting In San Antonio and the
latter In Dallas. The San Antonio
convention promises to be highly in
teresting, owing to the attempt that
will probably be made to inject the
prohibition Issues into the delibera
tions. The recent primary, in which
the question of a state-wide prohibi
tion election was an issue, was not
decisive. Owing to divergent inter
pretations of the law governing the
primary, both tbs "wets" and "drys"
claim a victory. Governor T. M.
Campbell will be renominated, having
received an overwhelming majority In
the primary.
Owing to the prohibition fight and
the friction between the adherents
and opponents of Senator Bailey, the
Republican are claiming a possibility
of victory in the election .this fall, apd
the convention In Dallas will likely be
the most etching In the histlry of the
party in Texas.
The remnants of the Populist party
in Texas are holding a convention in
Fort Worth today to select an elec
toral ticket.

FISHIN'.
You feel the delicious languor of boy
hood stealing over you. Nature wooes
you to her bosom. You want to loll In
the sun. You want to dig a little In
the ground. The ripple of distant wa
ters lures you. Of a sudden you
straighten your shoulders and emit
this prouunciamento:
"I'm goln' flsbin'."

There can he no doubt you have cor
rectly diagnosed the ailment. The
symptoms are unmistakable. Your
disease is "spring fever"—plus.
The prescriptlou is specific. It Is the
recipe Simon Peter used when he said,
"I go a-fishing."
Well—
You get out the tackle. You don an ,
old suit aud fix it. It is not elaborate,
that outfit. No fancy reel for you.
You are no professional. Just a bam
boo pole with the old fashioned string
and cork and lead. And as for bait?
You dig for worms in the back yard us
you did when you wore knee breeches.
If you are a city man you take the
car as far as It goes aud walk the rest
of the way. Walk is scarcely the
word. You slouch over the countryside.
Arrived at the stream, you select a
log or a rock whence to dangle your
simple enticements. You discover the

not care. By degrees your pole droops

nil. And when you go home empty j
handed, If the boy Jibes at you and :
your "fisherman's luck,'' why, you are j
content. You have had your fun.
Is it not so?
You wanted to get away from every
body. You wanted to loaf and Invite
your soul. Yon were tired of the buzz
of business and the clash of civilized
tilings. You heard the call of the wild.
And nobody saw you
bothered you as you nodded apd
dreamed over your fish pole. And you
dreamed of a little mite of a boy who
fished with a hickory switch and a pin
hook long, long ago. And you dreamed
—but it's nobody's business what.
It was nature calling to you and say
ing to you what science in these last
days is saying to all humans: "Re
lax. Relax. The bow that is always
bent will sometime lose its spring."
When you plod back home the string
of fish may be lacking (save it may be
