If there Is one thing more a mys-
tery to the general public than an-
other. it is the way the majority of
Legislators spend the most of their
time when they are supposed to be
'legislating" for the benefit of this
same public. The knowledge would
be a hair-raiser to some honest souls
and the "whyness" of some aston-
ishing laws would no longer be a
matter of question. There are a few
good men in the Legislature, and
they know this is true. Atnnng
these you will not hear a dissenting
voice against what these remarks
may Imply.
The Fort Worth Star, In a poetic
mood the other day, spoke of An-
drew Carnegie and John D. Rocke-
feller, Sr., as "octogenarian spend-
thrifts." it is hard to tell whether
the Star Intended to be satirical as
well as poetical. Whether that was
the Intention or not, the Star suc-
ceeded. An "octogenarian spend-
thrift" that hires his daughter to
piowl round through , a hundred
room palace when the night comes
and turn down the gas after care-
less servants and extravagant guests
leave their rooms, is certainly the
creation of a poet's imagination.
EXCHANGES.
Speaking of recent laws enacted
by the famous Thirtieth, an ex-
change begs leave to draw the line
between "regulation and strangula-
tion." There ought to be plenty of
ground between the two, but the
gentlemen of the toga failed to fltul
it when they framed the anti-pass
law.

to all who like dark, rich and lightly sweetened tobaccos, to lay fn a good
supply of tobacco of unsurpassed merit while this offer lasts.
The object of this deal is not to sell BLACK BEAK tobacco at less
than the regular price, but it is to convince all who like tobacco similar
in grade, that BLACK BEAR is the best of its kind.
This offer is made for a limited time—as the manufacturer could not
afford to continue it Indefinitely, and with the expectation that all who take
advantage will like the tobacco so well they will continue to use it perma-
nently.

IN INTEREST OF
GREATER TEXAS
William Harmon Foeny, repre-
senting the Texas Five Million Club,
Is now In the vicinity of McKinney
endeavoring to iuterest the repre-
sentative citizens of Collin county
In this great movement, which has
for its purpose the settling the thin-
ly populated sections of the State by
a desirable class of settlers from the
New England and Middle Western
States. Thousunds of people are
leaving these States yearly being
forced out by the rapidly inoreaslnt,
cost of luud und there is no intelli-
gent reason in the world, why Tex-
as should not participate in the ben-
efit derived from this emigration.
Some people are Inclined to believe
that the population of TexiiB Is In-
creasing rapidly. This opinion is
not borne out by statistics. The
percentage of increase of population
in the State since 190U has been but
18 per cent, while in several of the
other States It has been as high as
77 per cent. We all know that peo-
ple are wanted more In Texas, Just
now, than capital. Wealth follows
population and If we get the people
capital will soon follow. Millions
of dollars wer lost last year In the
cotton fields of Texas alone, because
of the scarcity of labor. The con-
ditions are no better now than then,
and until some well organized effort
is made to remedy this condition it
will continue. There is now nearly
100,000,000 acres of uncultivated
land in Texas and In view of the fact
that taxes are increasing rapidly,
this land will have to be sold, and
purchasers must be found. None are
goliiK to put their money into a prop-
osition they don't know anything
about, so it Is the purpose of the
Texas Five Million Club to serve as
the general information bureau for
Texas, giving data and statistics,

to a lop-sided aggregation of dead
birds, stuffed weasels, chameleon
skins, ribbons, beads, sticks, straws,
corn tassels and thistle down. It

ness."—Bouham Favorite.

ment is being conducted along the
same lines by which the Canadian
government and the Northwestern
railroads are populating their vast
territory. A strictly business prop-
osition organized and supported by
hard headed business men, all of
whom are well known to the people
throughout the State. It Is well
worth the support of all patriotic
Texans and It is to be hoped thai
there will be no complaint of tho
lack of civic pride in our own com-
munity and that the business men
of McKinney will accept ;his oppor-
tunity to aid this laudable project
to a successful end.

NEW CHURCH
IS DEDICATED
The dedicatory services at the
East McKinney Christian church,
postponed from last Sunday on ac-
count of the rain, were held Wednes-
day in the presence of a congrega-
tion that filled the church to over-
flowing, and were decidedly impress-
ive and interesting throughout.
After a song of praise Invocation
was offered by Rev. It. D. Shults,
which was followed by the rendition
of the opening songs arranged for
the occasion. The twelfth chapter
of Romans was then read by the pas-
tor, Rev. Hugh McClellan, followed
by prayer by Eld. R. C. Horn. Tht>
dedicatory sermon was delivered by
Rev. George L. Hush of Gainesville
who is conducting the revival at the
church and was a splendid one and
very appropriate to the occasion,
his subject being "Christian Resto-
ration." At the conclusion of the
sermon there was one accession to
the church. The pastor made an ap-
peal lor funds to liquidate the out-
standing indebtedness, with the re-
sult that within a very short time
sufficient funds had been raised to
completely free the church from all
inuebtedness and it is now in a most
flourishing condition.

History of Church.
The East McKinney Christian
church was organized July 7, 19o;>
as a result of the missionary efforts
in that portion of the city by Rev.
George L. Hush, then pastor ot tho
First Christian church here who
is now conducting the revival. The
organization was effected with twen-
ty members, and, following a reviv-
al held with this congregation the
next September, as a result of which
the membership was materially In-
creased, it was decided to erect a
house of worship. Committees were
appointed and soon began an active
canvass and In January 1906 work
was begun on this splendidly con-
structed and most conveniently ar-
ranged church structure which cost
$1500, and It. stands today as a
handsome monument to the liberali-
ty and progress!vencss of the East
McKinney congregation. Rev. Hugh
McClellan was Installed as pastor or
the church last September and the
church has enjoyed a steady growth,
the membership now being seventy-
five, while a number of accessions
are being received during the meet-
ing now in progress. With an ele-
gant new church building, entirely
free from debt, and an earnest, con-
secrated congregation working In
harmony with the able young pastor,
prospects are indeed bright for tnis
church for the accomplishment of a
great, work throughout the coming
years for God and for humanity.
