WEALTH AND WORK
®EC
Ail that is said of the peril of
riches does not go. for much when
the opportunity offers for one to
improve his wottdiy condition.
Poets some times chant the beauties
of poverty, but not tho.se who
write in a cold garret, with only a
crust of bread and a jug of water
to keep them alive. They are too
familiar with ths bitter reality to
make it the subject of laudatory
song. When a man has a snug lit-
tle cottage of his own, with a cosy
corner looking out upon the trees
and flowers, where he ^can sit and
write peace, sure that his frugal
board will be furnished with "con
venient|food,"*he maj 'romance to
his hearts content about the vanity
of riches.
Savages never accmulate wealth;
if they did they would be sure to
be robbed of it. They "live from
handtomou£h; miinly by hunting
and plunder.. The tribe is every-
thing and the individual nothing.
No person has any private right of
property which the tribe is bound
to respect; and no tribe has anv
rights which another tnbe wilJ not
wrench from them' if they are
strong enough to do so. The rule
is for everyone to take what ever
he can lay his hand on, and con-
sume it, if possible, before anyone
else can steal it from him. In
such a state of things as that there
is no danger of anyone's getting
rich.
As soon as men begin to lay by
something which they can call their
^ .. own, the first step in civilization is
taken, and the days of absolute
barbarism aj-o over.
When a man is ready to sacrifice
everything else for the sake of
making himself rich, he deserves to
be scorned; but if the desire after
riches should all at once die out in
the community—of which there is
at present very little danger-the
wheel of progress would cease to
move.
It is this desire that incites men
to labor, which is another token
which distinguishes civilization
from barbarism.
Savages are always lazy. The
men make the women work, and
the women do as little work as
possible.
The propensity to accumulate
wealth has done more than any-
thing else to check the insane pas-
sion for war, which has always fill-
ed the world with violence, and to
do away with the habit of private
revenge.
When men have money on- de-
posit they are not likely to settle a
disputed claim by knocking their
adversary down, or sticking a knife
into his ribs as was the custom in
the dark ages, when property was
heH by a very precarious tenure.
It is a good thing that war is
every day getting to be more and
more expensive, and when the na-
tions feel that this, costly luxury
must plun^ them into utter bank.
ruptcy,they will learn to respect
the rights of others and let them
alone.
It is an immoral thing-to take
the property of others without
rendering a fair equivalent. Burg-
lars, and all sorts of professional
theives, do this without scruple.
There is no hyoocrisy in their
transactions. All kinds of gambling
come under the same head, and*
this does sometimes put on the
garb of hypocrisy,, as the soft and
gentle names by which it is called
indicates.'
There are men in high stand-
ing who become rich without rend-
ering the slightest return to , tlie*
world at large. >~-
To trade upon the chances of the
future, with nothing in hand to
trade with, ;is the same thing in
principle that it is to risk all upon
the hazard of a die.
There are others who fail to
render a fair equivalent for the
money which they receive, giving
short wieght and poor measure.'
and selling an unfound or adulter
ated article knowing it to be so.
Better to die in poverty than to
become rich by such device.
Others become rich by accident.
They wake up poor in the morning
and go to bed millionaires at night.
A great fortune drops upon them
suddenly, as if it fell from the skies,
and unless the man can keep
his head, the wealth that is thus
attained is very apt soon to take
itself wings, and fly away.
It is another thing when wealth
is gradually acquired by the hon-
est labor of the hands and the
brains. Then society isj likely to
be benefitted as well as the prosper-
ed man himself. It is thi3 which
dignifies wealth and makes its
possessor honorable.
Mr. Chas. Flato of Kingsville
and Mr. Ed. FJato of Corpus
Christi were in the city Monday

tives.

DR. CLARK ANNOUNCES FOR SENATE
The announcement of Dr. I. E.
Clark of Schulenburg for State
senator of*the Eighteenth Dis-
trict to succeed Hon. D. A. Pau-
lus who has resigned to become
postmaster at Halletsville, ap-
pears in this issue.
Dr. Clark is a native Texan;
was born in Polk county in I860,
removed, when at the age of four
with his parents to Lavaca coun-
ty.
After attending the schools of
Lavaca he finished his education
in Judge Byars' High School of
Covington, Tenn., and the Jeffer-
son Medical College of Philadel-
phia, graduating with high hon-
ors from both institutions-
He began the practice of his
profession in Moravia in 1883
and in 1887 he moved to Schulen-
burg where he has succeeded in
building quite an extensive and
lucretive practice.
The doctor wears his democ-
racy straight and has never
scratched a democratic nominee;
believing in the principle of local
self government, he, therefore,
is a local optionist.
He is a gentleman of executive
ability and, if elected, promises
to faithfully and punctually per-
form the duties of the office for
the greatest good of the great-
est number. He respectfully
solicits your vote and inflimce.
