Did you ever stop to conaldor
That uover a day has passed
That has not brought some new
triumph
Moro brilliant than tho last?
Every hour that goes rolling back-
ward. Toward the years that have passed
and gone;
leaves the world some little treasure
As tho wheels of time roll oni
Kvcry Hfo In this world's greut dwel-
ling Aa It touches others hero; p
Helps to multo the world grow better
Day by duy and yoar by year.
Xlmo has turned the hand of wisdom
In Its search for better things;
Till wo giisio In awe and wonder
At the product that It brings.
When wo sic that all around us
Every day some good Is wrought;
Wo should ninke our own lives better
With the lesson that la taught
Kvcry day soino heart Is lonely
And there's some one forced to
weep;
At the words somo tongue has ut-
tered
Cruel and piercing n their sweep.
For each word wherever spoken
Kinds a place in some one's heart;
To thrill lllto n golden sunbeam
?r to piece like a poisoned dart.
So' withhold Hour bitter anger.
For some words sn hurt so;
If you bavo none kind nd gentle
Curb them: Never let them go.

he did. He began to study the tariff q cq Ml
Question closely and became a Dem- wht prom J (n theie?
every Democratic president slnco
though some of those votes were no
credit to him as later developments
proved.
We said to our friend If an honest
effort was made to get the govern-
ment ownership plank In the nsxt
Democratic platform and It failed
and the convention was captured by
the special Interests of the country
which have controlled the Republi-
can party so long and such men as
Bryan Cumrr.lns of Ionva. LaFollette
of Wisconsin and other brave Inde-
pendent thinking men should cut
loose from their parties and form a
new party which should embody the
needs of tbe American peo.ile to-
day we should possibly be with
thorn but we crossed no bridges be-
fore we came to them.
We have watched the efforta of
good men tj catabllHh new parties
but never biuee tho Republican party
came Into existence on a long moot-
ed Imhuo and succeeded has any
party been able to receive any con-
siderable notlco from the masses of
tbe people of tho United States and
until a Mirty comes into existence ou
a tidal wave sufficient to sweep tbe
country do we believe a new party
can aucceod although it may have
the best platforms and good men
nominated at lt standard boarors.
The editor of the Panhandle Is a
Democrat because he believes la the
principles which tho Democratic
party stands for 'equal rights for
all special privileges- for none." We
believe da tho. government Issuing
every dollar of the circulating me-
dium of the country whether gold

dollar kV good m the other legul
tender for all debts public and pri-
vate. We believe In the government

ple all of the great public carriers
of tho country express and telegraph
Hervlce and In the postal savings
banks. Klectlon of senators by the
people making thom responsible to
the people. Iu fact we believe In the
Democratic policy of tho government
being run for tho people by the peo-
ple and not tbe special Interexts.
The great Democratic party has
stood for this policy and no long as
It does tho editor of the Panhandle
shall support It trylng'all the time
to have honest sincere men nomi-
nated as Its standard bearers. Tb'J
Democratic -policy on the money
question the trust question the
transportation question and many

ARK GOING TOADVERTISE.
It seems that our friends at Plain-
view have faRh In their portion of
the country and are bound that the
world shall know what they have
down there. . Amnrlllo's reputation
as a distributing point and head
center for the great Panhandle coun-
try has Impressed them as the proper
place to advertise their advantages
tt tho world and they are preparing
to collect and send to Amarillo to
be exhibited by a competent per-
son the products of Hale county.
The following Items concerning
the exhibit are culled from the col-
umns of the Plainvlew News of the
last issue end give some idea of the
riflnvlowltes:
"A move is on loot to place an
exhibit of the Hale county products
at Amarillo In chargo of a compe-
tent man. This matter had been tak-
en up by the commercial club and
the requqlalte funds have been raised
to maintain U This should have
Tioen done long ago. No doubt many
good people have been turned back
or In tome other direction who
would have come here and bought
land if this country had been prop-
erly represented. Hale county Is
the banner county onthe plains and
all that is necessary Is to place a
fair exhibit of her resources before
the people and a family on every
quarter section will be the result.
"A special request Is made to the
farmers all over the country to
orlng us samples of nillo maize' kaf-
fir corn wheat and oats. Fruits
and vegetables are wanted that wo
may give the stranger who mny
come to Amarillo an Idea of the
l'osslblUUes ot thla country.
"Now thai It (s an assured fact that
e arn to maintain a Hale county
exhibit at Amarillo for the purpose
of fulrly representing our country
wo want our ladles to take an In-
terest In tho matter. If you have
a jar of extra fine fruit that you
isii to enter In this exhibit notify
us through the News editor or leavo
at the News office. This will help
us greatly In getting a complete
exhibit at the earliest posnlblo dale"
Following the large Democratic
gains in Iowa Inst full and tho elec-
tion of one congresnman In the Sixth
district lowa cities largely went
Democratic at the' recent city elec-
tions. Word reaches the editor of
the Panhandle through his friend D.
Maher. of Iowa City who Is In Ama-
rillo at tho present time that J.
II. McCoulogue was elected mayor of
Mason City by 600 majority In a
city formerly several thousand Ro
publican and Oenrgo W. Bull was
re-elected mayor of Iowa City by
391. Both of these men are promi-
nent Iowa Democrats. Mr. Maher
was feeling Jubilant over the reports
from Iowa elections today.
Do not let the planting out of trees
and shrubs atop. Let every citizen
who can secure the trees plant out
plenty of them around his premises.
Kvery farmer should surround his
place with trees for windbreaks and
plenty of shade about the house.
Plant out orchards. Fruit does well
In this country. Kvery tree and
shrub planted now will Inlianco the
vnlue of property wonderfully In a few
years and will bo a great comfort
to every property owner. You can't
plant too many trees.
A friend of the editor of the Dally
Panhandle was In the city yester-
day looking for a location for the ere-
tton of buildings to bo used for dis-
tributing houso for his goods. Ama-
rillo la dally growing as a distrib-
uting point for the Panhaudlo coun-
try. The nature of tho business and
the enterprise we are not at liberty
to give to the public as yet.
Now that the Santa Fe track ro-
moval bill has passed and become a
law what of the Santa Fe shops
which 'were supposed to hang on
the passage of that bill? When will
work begin on them? When will
work on the new track from Pan-
handle to Amarillo begin are ques-
tions pertinent to the Amarillo
booster.
In another column of this paper
we today copy tho Ideas of the Fort
Worth Telegram as to the Jeffer-
sonlan principles of Democracy. All
of which are vory good. But the
country has once seen Qrover Cleve-
land John O. Carlisle and other
former big men of the party construe
these principles in the interests of
special classes as against the masses.
It is altogether what kind of a con-
construction we place upon them In
these progressive times. The prin-
ciples are right and only need to
be properly applied to conditions in
die interest of all the poople instead
of the special interests to carry out
fully the Jeffersonlan Idea of Democ-
racy. THE TENETS OP DEMOCRACY.
There are many different brands
of Democracy during theo p'pliiB
times of general pronperlty and
some of these Democrats are getting
a long way from home. The funili-
men'tat' principles of the Democntlc
party about which we hear the leather-lunged
politician so loudly prite
and declaim afford intere..tn? r .end-
ing. Following are the lrus prin-
ciples of the party as laid down and
expounded by the lmmorttl Thomas
Jefferson:
' First The people the oMy source
of legitimate power.
Second the absolute and lasting
severance of the church and state.
Third the freedom sr.veis'gn'y
and Independence of the respectlva
states.
Fourth Tho union a confederacy
a compact; neither a coim.illdailon
nor a centralization.
Fifth The constitution of tho un-
ion a special written grant of pow-
er limited and definite.
Sixth the civil power paramount
to the military power.
Soventh Tho representative to
obey the Instructions of hla eontlt-
uent8. Elg'ath Elections free find suf-
frage universal.
Ninth No heredity of office uor
order nor title.
Tenth No national debt If pos-
sIMe.
j Eleventh No costly splendor of
administration.

'Ion nor of public discussion..

Industry That .Shows I'onsibillties
For Great Development.
Guy Culp manager of the gravel
pit at the Ady spur o ntho Denver
northwest of town has another en-
terprise which Is possible of great
deveelopment.
Near the old McBrlde place on the
Canadian river about thirty miles
northeast of Amarillo he Is now
having native lime burned for tho
local markot. On account of the
location and tho difficulties of trans-
porttatlon the output is necessarily
small but it is of good quality and
Is meeting wltth good favor with the
local masons. It is said to be as good
for general purposes as the round
rock lime which is most used hore.
The only appreciable difference Is
that the native lime Is somewhat
slower to slack than the factory
lime. This Is probably the result of
defective burning and could be rem-
edied If tho Industry were taken
u p on a larger scale.
Tho raw material Is unlimited in
the Canadian river country and for
the small demands that are now be-
ing made abundant fuel supply Is
furnished from the drift wood In the
river bed. At present the capacity
of the one kiln in operation Is 140
barrl3 which Is burnt in four days
and nights. One team Is kept birey
all the time hauling the product to
market and tho largest Hem of ex-
pense at present Is In the transpor-
tation.' CLOSE FOR GOOD FRIDAY.

Nsw Postmaster Will Take
targe of the
Lccai Office
(From Friday's Dally.)
Af'.er a term of service extending
ofer nearly nlno years during which
time tho office has grown from a
comparatively insignificant point to
one whoso business raeetH comparison
with offices in cities of much larger
size J. M. Kindred tomorrow retires
from the management of tho local
postofflco and Harry Ingortou takes
charg as tho new Incumbent.
Harry Ingerton who now takes
up tho duties of the position was the
flrBt postmuster after the office had
assumed any importance. To bo ex-
act tho appointment made was of
his mother who was the widow of
Captain Ingerton tho well known
federal officer of tho early days but
Harry Ingerton was always first as-
sistant and was often tho active post-
master. Ileforo tho appointment of Mrs.
Ingerton there were two or three
other or less volunteer postmasters
who Bortod out tho scanty dolo- of
letters and papers that then came to
the little settlement. Mack Moore
was tho first postmaster after the
establishment of tho offlco In 1SS7.
At that time the Fort Worth and
Denver road had juat been completed
through the Panhandle and tho town
of Amarillo was a city on paper with
a small tented settlement on tho
Denver siding of the present busi-
ness street or Polk street. For ad-
ministering the affairs ot the office
Mr. Moore used a rough pine box
about 16x30 Inches iu sizo which had
eight plpeon holes for tho disposal of
the various varieties of mall and of
the office stationery. T'jIs "first
postofflce In Amarillo" Is now pre-
served In the vaults of the local of-
fice as a curious and Interesting re-
minder of the early day.
During Cleveland's administration
the Democratic control patronage
threw the office upon tho expiration
of Mrs. Ingerton's term to J. M.
portwood. Mr. Portwood did not
complete his full term as postmaster
but resigned to take up a business
proposition at another point. Then
early In the first administration of
President McKinley Captain J. M.
Kindred received the appointment
and has since conducted the affairs
of the off ce.
At the time of Captain Kindred's
apolntment ' .he and Mrs. Kindred
with the assistance of one boy had
no difficulty In caring for tho de-
mands of the office. At present the
work requlre3 the service of twelve
people and Is still growing rapidly.
The office now nays $2500 to the
postmaster ind $1100 to tho assist-
ant. Contrary to tho idea that some
