trality in the gubernatorial con-
test, contenting itself with ob-

tions of the contestants.
At tna outset there was a pros-
pect for a sharp contest between '
Colquitt and Johnson, the logical
antagonists on the prohibition is-
sde, and this, of course, meant
the elimination of both Poindex-
ter andDavidsori. ——

conditions as developed during
the past three weeks and testi-

it has seemed that Davidson
would easily lead his opponents.
This condition has unquestion-
ably brought consternation to a
certain headquarters, and hence
the lengthy and conspicuous edi-
torial expression in yesterday's
Port Worth Record, wherein
^prohibition is declared to b§ the
issue in the race for governor,
with Poindexter for the "drys"
amd Colquitt for the "wets."
■ It may be that the Record can
check the stampede to Davidson
—that remains to be seen. As
matters now stand, apparently
Davidson is far in advance of his
opponents and bids fair to be the
next governor of Texas. This is

confident co-operation, with sym-
pathetic encouragment have
often brought to pass what money

Whenever tempted to ridicule

neighbors make to benefit the
town and help the general good,
as well as private interests, think
of that carpenter who performed
the brilliant stunt of sawing off
the log that held him six stories
above the ground. There are
sawyers as well as knockers.
An Appeal
My friend help the editor in
his wild-eyed search for news.
When your friends come to see
you, if you are not ashamed of
it, tell him; when your wife gives
a tea party if you have recovered
from the effects of the gossip,
drop in with the news; wheri a
baby arrives fill your pockets
with cigars and call; if you go to
a party , Steal some of the good
things and leave 'em with the

wife licks you come in and let us

pathy through the paper. If

The Road Bonds
In next week's issue of the
Review you will find an article
that will give the cost to the
property owners of the taxes that
will show all about the cost of
the bond issue. Look out tor it
as it's in course of construction
and will be worth the careful
consideration and study of the
skeptical. The facts in the case
are all that should be given and,
the Review will give the facts
based on actual valuations and
it will show some remarkable
truths to those who oppose bond
issues.,' We have practically
none of this class in the Road
District, but it's for their benefit
that we are going to put so rtiuch
work on this article, and will
deal with facts and figures.
Watch for it and post yourself.

SHOPPING REFORM IN St. PAUL
Retail Merchants Planyfor Christmas
Comfort and Fun-^-To HWd
Novel Carnival.
St. Paul, Minn., — The Retail Mer-
chants' association of St. Paul has es-
tablished headquarters at 99, East
Sixth street, in the heart of the ^hop-
plng dlstrlot, whefe-a -eampalgB-will
be conducted in the interest of the re-
tail trade and the shopping public
until after the close of the approach-
ing holiday season. The "shoppers'
headquarters" are in charge of a sec-
retary and assistants. The offices are
fitted with telephones, writing desks,
and a local post office station for the
use of visitors. An Information bu-
reau will be established and every
possible comfort., and convenience for
the shopping public will be provided.
Plans for a carnival week, to be
held preceding the Christinas holidays,
are under way, and the entire retail
district of St. Paul will be decorated
in an attractive and novel manner.
The streets are to be transformed into
forests of evergreen and carloads of
holly will be added to give the proper
holiday touch. The entire district
wll| be illuminated by thousands of
multicolored Incandescents.
Instead of discomfort attending
shopping in the Christmas season, St.
Paul's merchants will bend their ener-
gies toward comfort and entertain-
ment for their patrons and make the
holiday season one of merriment and
good cheer. One of the features of Ihe
1909 holiday season is a plan to close
all retail stores at six o'clock on
Christmas eve, thereby giving all em-
ployes the opportunity to enjoy the
"night before Christmas" at their own
firesides. * f
