Johnson is gaining steadily
the only hope for prohibition. While
Co^ultt is the preference of the an-
tics yet either Davidson or Polndex-
ter woula not'be objectionable, henc >
there is more probability of the pros
centering on Johnson than of the an-
tis centering on Colquitt. Upon the
whole we consider Johnson's chances
of election better than are Mr. Col-
quitt's. So far p.s Davidson or Poin-
dexter is concerned, neither have any
cai.ce of election, which we admit is
more duo to their platforms than to
the merits of the men.

AS TO JOHNSON'S CHANCES.
We say again to the friends of Cove
Johnson and prohibition, be not dis-
couraged; Mr. Johnson'3 chances are
excellent. True the newspapers con-
tain much ofthe activities of theother
candidates. This should be expected.
The big papers are published In the
big cities and the big cities are
against state-wide prohibition. John-
eon's succcss Is the only hope for
either submission or state-wide pro-
hibition. If Johnson Is defeated sub-
mission will be defeated for we can
not get two-thirds of the seuate.Nelth
er shall we have statutory prohi-
bition because neither of the other
candidates stand for statutory prohi-
bition. Fcr these reasons the big
papers aro not favorable to Cone
Johnson's candidacy. The big cities
consider they are singularly blessed
In the matter of local option, They
are In the busnless of booming and
building their cities. They know
that the sale of whiskey and beer is
a big industry which brings much
money to these cities, particularly is
this true since so many of the small-
er towns and cities are dry. The
Question is one of business with
them.
Another thing must he taken Into
account by the friends of Mr. John-
son; his fight is for reform. The
politicians never rally to the leader
of reforms . The peoplu are the ones
who rally. The politicians are with
Poindexter and Colquitt, to a large
extent, hence they make quite a noise
and a greater show of force than
Is really justified. Those who have
watched the trend of politics must
admit that the politicians carry lees
influence of late years than formerly.
Despite all the claims of other
candidates and specials which an-
nounce the organization of clubs at
htis plr. and that almost ©very
straw vote shows Johnson in the
lead. We have traveled over much
of the state and we my unhesitating-
ly oJhneon it In no danger of defeat
by either Poindexter of Davldeon.
Leadership and cooperation are ab-
solutely essential to progres*. No
country can develop and do things
without these. The lack of coopera-
tive spirit has retarded the develop-
ment cf the South more than any
other section of the United States,
The disposition of our people to di-
vide into factions and grow suspi-
cious and Jealous of one another has
pycvrr.teil the South from
faetones to convert our
als into the pro.lucts of com-
merco and frcm the organization and
maintainnnce of great banking insti-
tutions necessary to the financing of
factories and necessary works of de-
velopment.
The grea: problem is to Induce
and tcach our people to co-operate.
We must acquire the general co-op-
erative spirit before we can became
a progressive state and a prosperous
people Hence the Courier-Times has
stood and worked for a better spirit
of confidence sympathy and good feel
lng between the people of Smith
county regardless ot class or loca-
tion.
The general welfare requires tint
a prosperous people follow all kinds
and classes of avocations, employ-
ment and business. There must be
doctors, lawyers, teachers and preach
ers; there must be farmers, carpen-
bankers, and there must be private
citizens and officers. All these are
required to develop a country .and all
must get together, pull together ani
stay together in the great work of
progress and development.
There must be cities and city peo-
ple, and there must 'bo country and
country people. Thrifty, glowing
cities arc of advantage to the coun-
try round about and a prosperous
country is of advantage to the city
within Its territory.
Applying these truths to Tyler and
Smith county; nothing can be more
harmful to the best interest of both
the city and the country than to stir
up, divisions, preludie i s and jealous-
ies between the people of Tyler and
the people of the country. Nothing
can do so much to rest that progress
and development which is so mu'ch to
be desired by all and for all. Let peo-
ple compete for business, and candi-
dates run for office without stooping
to the arts of the demagogue, name-
ly that of arraying one class of our
citizens against another. Whoever
does this is the very worst type of
cillzen. He Is so selfish that he is
willing to retard all progress In the

telephone know as little of the work-

age knows about a gyroscope. Nearly
every one who grabs a receiver

Catan* Causes Kidney Disease.
Catarrh Is a frequent cause of kid>
aey disease. The pelvis of the kid-
neys, as well as the tubules, is lined
with mucous membrane, and is there-
fore subject to catarrhal congestion.
Sometimes the catarrh is so slight as to
cause no attention. Other times itleads
up to very serious oonditions.
Any remedy capable of mitigating
the oatarrh is a much more rational
treatment than to give palliatives that
only relieve the patient of one or more
disagreeable symptoms.
It Is olalmed for Perana that it is an
internal systemic catarrh remedy, and
reaches the catarrh in whatever orgaa
it happens to be located.
