“ItAUiouiits to revolution when a
beardless south of twenty-si-vi n up
sets u strong political machine, tie-
Jll.i.o flii'tv veteran pur-.^ 'codeia ltu
a congressional nonnuation, and is
elected L>y the Impest majority ever
given a candidate in the district.
That is what Morris Sheppard down
in the Fourth district of Texas, and
the campaign in which he turned .he
trick was of less man a mouths dur
ation. ’’
The above is a paragraph taken
from the Washington Tost of Deo.
14 It in whicu a whole column with a
double header is devoted to our young
congressman, giving a complete anti
correct history of his campaign
“down in Texas. ” And so we have
begun a revolution, a revolution of
which we are proud, a revolution
from the old ways in politics which
lias cooie so often .to mean dishou
esly, fraud, uncertain morals and
questioned ability to where purity of
character and unseveriug litielity to
the cause of right are counted as co-
poent factors in the summing up of
eligibility for oilicers of public trust.
While Morris Sheppard is not the
only member of congress whose mor-
als are unquestioned he is probably
the only one whose habits of clean
living and steady application gained
him a seat in the congressional halls.
People are learning that it is not
safe to trust the guardianship of
their rights to men whose daily life
is not a protestation against wrong
doing. God speed the time wheu
the representative of our people will
stand as a representative of tne true
qualities of noble manhood, then will
our welfare be as secure as were the
rights of the pleba in the hands of
the tribunes of ancient Rome.
We are anxious to have more cor-
respondents from over the county
and eveu outside of the county who
will give us the news ul your section.
Such may seem of little significance
to you but every item will find some
one glad to receive it. We are
pleased with our present list of writ
ers but wish to add too them. The
smallest item will be appreciated for
we are dependent upon you; we can-
not be at all places at all times. To
those who have kept up their com-
munications, we feel greatly indebt
ed. You are a part of the paper.
You help to make it what it is. So
come every week, and it you havn’t
beeu before, now is a good time to
make a beginning, Write us what is
going on in the farm work, the topics
the farmer" are discussing, the coin-
ings and goings of the people, the
improvements being made and you
may be sure your letter will ba ap-
predated.
We are glad to welcome into the
field of newspaperdom “The Pecan
Gap Success” whose birthday aceur-
red Jan. li, 1903. The periodical is
a five column folio aud edited by
J\Jr. Walter Garner. The first mini
ber of the “Success'’ gives every in-
dication of what its name applies and
it is the wish jf the Review that ail
annoyances usually attendant upon
the newspaper path may tie elimin it
ed save such as will prick him inn
better achievements.
