une. A bill has been introduced in
tho legislature to reduce the age
of consent to twelve . years, and
the author is coming in for hot
shots from the press all over Tex-
as. The introduction of such a
bill is a disgrace to any civilized
legislature and it should be
snowed under to such an extent
that there will never be a repe
tition of the offense. There is no
way of reasoning what could in-
duce a man to present suon a bill
it- is beyond all reason. Not
an argument of any kind could
be found tu support it except from
the houses of infamy and the
class of men who patronize them.
The protection of the girls of
the state iB one of the first duties

doubt but that the bill will meet
the fate it. deserves. Caldwel!

It would be interesting if some
of the numerous statesmen who
are fighting railroad consilidation
would eet up and tell just what
difference it makes to tho public
whether all the roads belong to
one concern or whether every
man in the state owns a rail-road.
Since the railroad commission
fixes the rates in all cases, and
the roads are not allowed . to
charge a cent more or cent less,
it appears to us that there is a
lot of vpioe going: to waste.- -Nao-ogdoohes

There is considerable 'talk
about tho newspaper m.on having
to walk or poy their fare if the
anti fret pass bill is passed by
the present legislature. So far
as 'free passes' are concerned the
editor neyer sees one. He pays
for every mile 'of railroad he
rides over, so the ''foolish" legis-
lator who favors such a law will
get but little consolation ' from
that source.

Austin, Tex., Feb. 11. John

charge of bribery by tho grand-
jury qf tho fifty-third distriot
court, and Warren W. Moore,

nounced sensation here, due to
tho prominence of Mr. Kirby.

'Mr. Kirby said:
" Of course, I cannot undertake
to go into all the circumsvancre
leading up to my indictment in
the district court of Travi3 coiinty
nor themotives which prompted
the persons who instigated this
prosecution, nor the low methods
resorted to in accomplishing their
ends. It is not necessary for me
to give any assurance to my
friends or to those who know me
'well, that I have committed no
offense against the laws of my
state. Of all others I ask that
they suspend judgment until all
the facts are known and thej mo-
tives of the prosecuting witnesses
exposed." 3

It needs but little foresight, to
tell, that when your stomach and
liver are badly affected, grave
trouble is ahead, unless you take
the proper medicine for your dis
ease, as Mrs. John A. Young, of
Clay, N. Y did. She says: "I had
neuralgia of the liver and stomach
my heart was weakened, and I
.could not eat. I was very bad for
a long time but in Electric Bitters
I found just what I needed, for
they quickly relieved and cured
me," Best medicine for weak
