Who nominated Gagnon for “the laird knows what" term, regardless of party precedent and to the exclu sion of “Dick" James, tt “young as pirant" and a capable young man? The bosses. Hundeds of democrats, who consid er their own interests paramount to that of party, will cast their vote for the republican nominees. They be lieve they will serve their party bet ter by putting it through a course of purification, thereby doing a double duty. If George Fallstead is satisfied with the lemon handed to him by the democratic machine bosses, lit' is not the man lie lias always been reported to be. lie should remem ber that he has friends who feel the humiliation as much as ho does, and who will refuse to be satisfied with the arrangements of the bosses. Judge Gagnon, when he made the campaign for county judge four years ago, was continually harping against the third term. Now he Is Hooking thnt. which he condemned himself, four years ago. If ho is honest in argument, then ho ought to vote against himself for re-election as lie is now running for "(lie Lord knows what" term. Talk about your old-fashioned, ring ridden county conventions. If the recent primary election didn’t show "bossism" in the democratic lines, we miss our guess, it was so much so that even the good democrats have refused to be a party to it. The bosses rode Gagnon clear over James, a "young aspirant," as they also did Morris over Fallstend. Tlii' echo of the democratic mach ine, while diligently doing the bid ding of the bosses, never lost sight of a personal interest in the county board, lie was heard to remark at a time when the whole democratic ticket was elected and the hoard of supervisions showed a republican gain "this means defeat to me.” Who will he choose tills year. Hutch ens democrat or Hinton republican? Those republicans who voted against Judge Wilhite four years ago on account of the third term issue, which they declared they could nev er and would never endorse, can now apply their objections to Judge Gagnon. He is not only a fifth term er but didn’t want the office. He didn’t even file until after James was allowed to file and was given to undeerstand that Gagnon would "stay off." But the bosses and their machine were afraid of James, so they forced Gagnon on the ticket. Why We Are Stronger. The old Greeks and Romans were great admirers of health and strength; their pictures and statuary made the muscles of the men siaml out like cords. As a matter of fact we have ath letes and strong men—men fed on fine strength making food such as Quaker Oats—that would win in any contest with the old Roman or Greek champions. It’s a matter of food. The finest food for making strength of bone, muscle and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker Oats is the best because it is pure, no husks or stems or black specks. Farm ers’ wives are finding that by feeding the farm hands plentifully on Quaker Oats they get the best results in work and economy.

Interesting Bits of Information Con cerning Industrious Galveston. In a personal letter from J. 8. Mullen, a former Richardson county boy, who is now located in Galves ton. the following interesting infor mation of that great city was con veyed: "****• Galveston had a little storm in July but it did no great dam age outside of the fishing piers, and hath houses, which were on the out side of the sea'wall. These buildings were entirely destroyed, but are be ing rebuilt on a largeer and grander scale than ever. We have now under construction what is termed the “Cans way,” which will be about 30U feet wide and about eighteen feet, above the sea level, connecting tile island with tiie main land, which means a bridge over three miles long. This struct ure is the third big undertaking since our storm in 11*00. First the sea wall which was an expense of $2,000,000; second, the raising of the city on a level with tho sea wall to within a few blocks of the business bouses, being a gradual slope from the sea wall down—cost two million. The Causeway, which was started less than thirty days ago, shows signs of activity. This Causway is to be built in two years, requiring an army of men working day and night. Tills structure will be lighted by electricity by night, which enables them in losing no time in completing same. This undertaking will cost about another two million dollars and by the time it is completed we will have the electric car line com pleted between Galveston and Hous ton,which is a distance of fifty miles. By this you may know we are not going backwards on account of the storm in 1900—♦ * * *” Christian Church Notes. Tlie all day services at tile church lust. Sunday was a decided success.
