Ary erroneous reflection upon tho char-
acter standing or reputation of any
person firm or corporation which may
i appear in the columns of The Reporter
will be gladly corrected on its being
brought to attention of the publishers.
State Topios presents a long
list of oharges against Gov. Lan
"ham and asks The Reporter to
disprove any or all of them adding
that when we have done this Top-
ioa has others in reserve1: In re-
ply The Reporter will say that all
of said ohargos have been met
time and again to the entire sat-
asfaotion of the people bo muoh
so in faot that there is no man
willing to enter the race against
1r. Lanham and he will in all
probability be renominated with-
out a negative vote. As to the
management of the Epileptic
Colony State Topios feays: "The
Reporter being on the ground
ought to be especially well post-
ed regarding it. The Reporter
ought to be able to state exactly
the names of those employed who
were kept busy for six monthB"
etc. ete. In the next sentence
State Topics says that no state-
ments of "interested parties"
will be taken. So. The only per-
sons who know are those in
oharge and they are "interested
parties." The statement of v the
superintendent in his sworn 're-'
port is open to all. The state-
ment of the board of managers
amongfthe best and most honor-
able oitizens of Texas has been
published in The Reporter and
other papers but they are "in-
terested parties" and Jeff refused
to take it. In faot Jeff refuses to
be convinced by any sort of tes-
timonyat alii If ho really wants
ti know what the employes of the
colony have been doing let him
come out to Abilene and we will
treat him well give him a good
time fishing or hunting and
while here will show him the
work done at the colony the
beautiful drives 'rows of treeSj

etc in allsuoh a showing as even
he will be satisfied with though
he might not admit it in Topios.
State Topios is a brilliant sheet
fairly sointilating with wit and
raoy reading and ti's a pity that
Its editor' talent is wasted in so
poor a oause. Come out look
at the .pride of Texas among all
its charitable institutions and
we believe you will let up in your
unjustified war on this home for
the most pitiable olass of our unfortunates.
Occupation Taxes..
v The business men of the state
nave determined to demand the
repeal of the occupation tax law
and therein we think they acted
wisely. Only by bringing the
question to a ' definite issue can
they hope to get relief. So long
as they are oontent to ask v this
measure of justioe as a favor so
long will politicians continue to
take advantage of their indul-
gence and make justice de-
pendent upon expediency. That
this law remains on the statute
books is due largely to the faot
that politicians have been per-
mitted to esoapo the penalty of
discriminating. The merohant
must no longer ask justice as a
boon but demand it as a right.
This is a legitimate political
issue. It involves both a polioy
and a principle. As a polioy the
oooupationjtax law is unwiseand
as a principle unjust. It is
therefore a question whioh no
poiltioal party profossing a soli-
oitude for the welfare of the
state or a regard for its own rep-
utation can ignore As this tax
is an incumbrance on tho oom-
meroe of Texas it 4s a question
whioh takes first rank among
those subjoots with whioh politi-
cal partios ought to oonoorn them-
selves. It is a "live issue" and
oflo whioh has been imperative
by years of procrastination and
evasion The Current Issue
Parker's Chances.
A great many of our oitizens
think that Parker has as good as
won the democratic nomiriation
but we do not see the basis for
such an assumption barring pri-
vate information as to the pref-
erence of the uninstruoted dele-
gations. Parker's "friends olaim for him
194 votes now pledged includ-
ing New York 78 Alabama 22
Conneotiout 14 Geprgia 26 In-
diana 30 Tennessee 24.
You will observe that Parker
has only two northern states be-
sides his own the balance being
in the South. Concede to him
the balance of the southern states
and he will have a total of 424
and still be 240 short.
Where will he get them?
Illinois is opneeeded to Hearst
Iowa will oertainly not go to him
and if Pennsylvania had been
for Parker she wonld surely
have said so in the beginning
and thus have given him the
prestige of an instruction.
With the fight made against
him in New York tho utter im-
possibility of his oarrying any
western state we are unable to
'see his "availability" as a can-
didate There are too many un-
reconoilabloa and we believe
that Parker would be weaker as
a oandidate than either Pattison
Gorman MoClollan or Cookrell.j
With Tammany and the West
against Parker we are uttorly
unable to see any ohanoe to elect
him and we have a strong hope
that he will not bo nominated.
We oould support him as froely
as any eastern demoorat for
they are all about the same but
as we are trying to seloot an
"available" oandidate we should
got ono.
Holds. His Seat.
Hon. John H. Stephens was in
Childress awhile Wednesday on
his way to Amarillo. He will at-
tend a democratic convention at
Claude Saturday. He informed
The Index that he had no oppo-
sition for renomination but nev-
ertheless he expected to make a
canvass of the district telling
the people what he had done also
to look after the local interests of
the district. Mr. Stephens is a
faithful member of congress not
given to oratory but to quiet
hard work His constituents are
well pleased with his course and
will continue him in the position
for years to coma. Childress In-
