fdr deliberation. The wear and tear
during frequent laundering necessitates
tne careful consideration of quality. The doth
must be firm and without artificial weighting,
the stitches accurately done with the strongest
threads, otherwise, after thoroughly washing,
the doth has a flinlsy, wilted appearance and
many of the embroidering threads are broken
—“washed out.’* * #
UKA'.*
4 Every yard of (9NSTANCL Embroidery
assures satisfaction. The doths are of a beau-
tiful texture and are especially woven for this
purpose' The embroidering threads are of the
strongest Egyptian cotton yarns. The
\(ONSTANCL hand-loom operator has every
movement of the needle under perfect cootrol.
Every stitch is distinct and accurate—“same on
the back as on the front** character-as seen
in the realJh^nd embroidery. The edges are
fast. The bleaching is perfect.
When buying embroideries be sure that
(ONSTANCE is printed ^n each whitd cardboard
around which the embroideries are wound.
(pNSTANCE Embroideries in a wide Variety
are op sale at this store. Come and inspect them.

men, who spend clean money la &
dean way and a legitimate and
clean campaign, would not object to
telling their fellow citlxens where
the money comes from and how
It was spent. Most men who labor
under the least suspicion If having
used a “corruption'' fund, if en-
tirely innocent, would hasten to tell
the people ' Just what was spent
and where it came from. But Jake
saw fit to claim his qpempttosi and
said “I decline te answer” to the
committee. He was asked where
all the money came from which, was

A great lesson has been taught
however, by this flood and one that ^
the people of the United States will
immediately profit by.
The greet waterway will be deep-
ened and straight*; tied and widened
where necessary; the levies and em-
bankments will be strengthened \and
the “Father of Waters' * will now
reoeive qie attention the great river
deserves from - the Congress of the
United States. V.
It will be a'ooetly undertaking and
it will meet the opposition of the
combined railways of the country,
but it is now up to Uncle Sam * to
speedQy make'-the Mississippi a
great inland waterway and at the

The Ramsey Campaign.
tate advices from people In cloee
touch with the Ramsey campaign
are to the effect^that his speeches
are drawing large crowds of entHu-
elastic people everywhere he goes.
The people fully realise the great
sacrifice that Judge Ramsey has
made In giving up his high office
aa Justice of the supreme court in
order te make the race for clean
politics la Texas as a candidate for
Merernor. They know that he
stands for an honest, sober adminis-
tration of the people's affairs, and
tBay are flocking to bln. Many of

and who got It and to each and all
of these Inquiries he declined to

ple that prohibition Is not an Issue
In hie campaign for the Senate
Well, it may not be, but dean poli-
tics Is an issue in his 'campaign
and he will have to do some tall
explaining to convince the. people
of Texas that the money that passed
through'Ills hands wss dean money
and that It was spent In ^ c,**r
way j throughout the state.
He had an> opportunity to explaii
It under oath and refused and th
people are Ruble to use the* pre-
sumption against him. 9

It is hoped that next leglslatur*
will make It a felony to carry" pistol'
In many states It has been made a
felony and in every instance It hat
resulted In reducing the number
of homicides. The argument Is mad
that such a law could not be en-
forced but the experience of Tex-
as with the gambling law and the
local option law proves that such
legislation can be e*nforced the
same |p other felony statu tee.
(' In the city . of Dallas recently
several “prominent citisens’' • have
been convicted of running gambling
houses end sentenced to the peniten-
tiary. A mighty howl has gone up
from the culprits and their friends

have a perfect organization.-
