For Your Boy to Handle an
Emerson Foot-Lift Plow
Emerson Sulky, Gang, Triple and Disc Plows—were built with the boy
in view—as well as the man. The famous foot-lift feature has marked
a new era in plowing efficiency.
So powerful is the Emerson foot-lift that the operator handles the plow with ease
in the hardest soil, and handles it with his feet, leaving his hands free to drive the
team. It is easy to handle because of its ingeniously constructed levers. Easy on
horses because 2,000 mile wheel boxes carry load on perfectly oiled bearings,
principally on two big wheels nearest team.
Bring the Boy In to See It!
Yes, let your boy see and
try an Emerson Foot-Lift
Plow. It will do you good
—and will make him feel like a
man—able to do a man's work,
and you and the boy will profit
immensely. Come in this week
sure, if you possibly can.

Old Glory
Fellow Americans—I have done
pretty much everything that a man
may do and dodge the penitentiary,
except run for office and make Fourth
of July speeches. Eulogizing the
Goddess of Liberty were much like
adding splendor to the sunrise or
fragrance to the breath of morn. She
needs no encomiast, star-crowned she
stands, the glory of America, the
admiration of the world.
I shall make a bid for your grati-
tude by being brief. In July weather
the song of an electric fan and the
small voice of the soda-fount were
more grateful to the soul than the
grandest eloquence that ever burned
on a Grady's lips of gold. It is cus-
tomary I believe on July 4, to "make
the eagle scream,"—to fight o'er
again all the gory battles of
the Republic, from Lexington's de-
feat to the glorious victory of the last
election: but I am no Gov. Waite,
and blood to horses' bridles delights
me not. I would rather at any time
talk of love's encounters than of
war's alarums—rather bask in the
smiles of beauty than mount barbed
steeds to fright the souls of fearful
adversaries. I have ever had a
sneaking respect for Grover Cleve-
land for sending a sustitute to remon-
strate with the Southern Confederacy
while he played progressive euehre
with the girls. His patriotism may
not have soared above par, but there
were no picnic ants on his judgement.
Much as I love my country, I would
rather be a living- president than a
dead hero.
, I address you as "fellow Ameri-
cans," for in this land no man of
Celtic or of Saxon blood,can be an
alien. Whether he were born on the
banks of the blue Danube or by Kil-
larney's lovely lakes,'mid Scotia's
rugged hills or on the sunn.v vales of
France, he is bound to us with ties of
blood; he hath a claim upon our
countrv, countersigned by those brave
souls who, in the western wilds, ga7e
to Liberty a habitation and a name—
whrrdeclared that Columbia should
ever be the refuge of the world's op-
pressed,—that all men in whatever
country born, should be equal be-
fore the law wherever falls /the shad-
ow of our flag. There has of late
arisen a strange new doctrine that
we should close our ports against the
peoples of other lands, however
worthy they may be; but I say unto
you that such a policy were to betray
a sacred trust confided to us by our
fathers,—that every honest man be-
neath high heaven, every worshipper
at Liberty's dear shrine hath in l
heritance here, and when, with up-
lifted hand he pledges his life, his
fortune ai d his sacred honor to the
defense of freedom's flag he becomes
as much an American as tho' to the
manner born.
On occasions such as this we of
America are apt to glorify ourselves
too much,—to overlook the origin of
those elements that made us great.
When exulting over our victories in
war and our still more glorious
triumphs in peace, our progress and
our prosperity, we should not forget
that had there been no Europe there
would be no greut American nation;
that all the courage that beatd in the
blood of Columbia's imoerial sons,
and all the wondrous beauty with
which her daughters are endowered:
that all the tireless energy of which
she proudly boasts, and all the genius
that gilds ber name with glory were
nurtured for a thousand years at
white bosoms beyond the ocean's
brine.
The American nation is the fair
tlower of European civilization, the
petted child of the world's old age.
Princes may be jeaious of her pro-
gress and tyrants read in her rise
their own downfall; but the great
heart of the people of every land and
clime is hers; to her they turn their
faces as the helianthus to the rising
sun,—she is their beacon light, their
star of hope, guiding them to the
glories of a grander day.
It is natural, it is right that on the
nation's natal day we should, felici-
way, while each succeeding nation
that rose in its luminous paths like
flowers in the footsteps of our dear
Lord, has reached a higher plane and
wrought out a grander destiny. The
cycle is complete—the star now blazes
in the world's extreme west, and by
the law of progress which has pre-
served for forty c nturies, here if
anvwhere, must we look for that mil-
lennial dawn of which poets have
fondly ^reamed and for which phil-
anthropists have prayed.
The awful responsibility of leader-
ship rests upon us. We have shat-
tered the scepter of the tyrant and
broken the shackles of the slave; we
have torn the diadem from the prince's
brow and placed the faces of author-
ity in the hands of the people, we have
undertaken to lead the human race
from the Slough of Despond to the
Delectable Mountains, where Justice
reigns supreme and every son of
Adam may find life worth living.
Can we make good our glorious prom-
ises? Are we equal to the task to
which we have given our hand? Ten
thousand times tbe world has asked
this qnestion, but there is neither
Dodono Oak nor Delphic Oracle to
makfe reply—the future alone can ans-
wer. All eyes are upon us, in hope
or fear, in prayer or protest. The
fierce light that beats upon a throne
were as the firefly's dull flame to the
lightning's flash compared with that
which illumes the every act of this
champion of human progress, this
knipht par excellence, this Moses of
the nations.
It is an important role of which
God bath assigned to us in the great
drama of life, yet into a part so preg-
nant with fate we too often inject the
levity of the fkree. While preachine
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none, we pass laws that div-
ide the people of this land into princes
and paupers, into masters atod slaves,
On July 4, we shout for the old flag,
and all the rest of the year we clamor
for an appropriation. While boast-
ing that we are sovereigns bv right
divine and equal unto kings, we
hasten to lay our hair beneath the
feet of every scorbutic dude who hith-
er drifts, "Stuck o'er with titles and
nung around with strings. "
The soldier who serves the state de-
mands a pension, and every burning
patriot wants an office. We boast
that the people rule, and office-hold-
ers are but public servants: yet more
than a moiety of us would hang our
crowns on a hickory limb and swim a
river to break into official bondage.
Here in Texas seven distinguished
citizens are already chasing the gov-
ernorship like a pack of hungry
wolves after a wounded fawn, while
the woods are full of brunette equines
who have taken for their motto,
"They also serve who only stand and
wait."
Yes our office-holders are indeed
our public servants—and my experi-
ence with servants has been that they
usually run the whole shebang.
Theoretically we have the best gov-
ernment on the globe, but it is so
brutally mismanaged by our blessed
public servants that it produces the
same evil conditions that have dam-
ned the worst Even Americans
whose forefathers dined on faith at
Valley Forge, or fought at Lundy's
lane, have become so discouraged by
political bossism, so heart-sick with
hope deferred that they quote approv-
ingly those lines of Pope,
"For forms of government let fools
contest, Whate'er is best administer-
ed is best."
While boasting of popular govern-
ment, we suffer ourselves to be led
about by self-seeKing politicians like
a blind man by a scurvy poodle; we
have made partisanship paramount to
patriotism—have reserved the poet's
line, and now
"All are for a party and none are for
the state.
It were well for us to make July 4,
less an occasion for self-glorification
than for prayerful consideration of
the dangers upon which we are drift-

tremendous power upon every throne

zation of the world from turret to
foundation stone.
We have achieved liberty, but have '
yet to learn in this strange new land
the true significance of life. We have
made the dollar the god of our idola-
try, the Alpha and Omega of our ex-
istence, and bow the knee to it with a
servility as abject as that of courtiers
kissing the hand of Kings. As the
old pagans sometimes incorporated
their lesser in their greater deities
that they might worship all at once,
so have we put the Goddess of Liberty
and Saving Grace on the silver dol-
lar that we may not forget them
But before God, I dt> believe that
this selfish, this Mammon-serving and
unpatriotic a^e will pass, as passed
the age of brutish ignorance, as pass-
ed the age of tyranny. I believe the
day will come—oh blessed dawn!—
when we'll no longer place the badge
of party servitude above the crown of
American sovereignty, the ridiculous
oritiainme of foolish division above
Old Glory's star-gemmed promise of ^
everlasting unity; when Americans -
will be in spirit and in truth a band
of brothers, the wrongs of one the
concern of ail; when brains and
patriotism will take precedence of
boodle and partisanship in our na-
tional politics; when labor will no
longer fear the cormorant nor capital
the commune; when every worthy and
industrious citizen may spend bis de-
clining days, not in some charity
ward, but in the grateful shadow of
his own vine and fig-tree, the loving
lord of a little world hemmed in by
the sacred circle of a home. There
was a time, we're told, when to be a
Roman was greater than to be a
King: yet there came a time when to
be a Roman was to be the vassal of a
slave. Change is the order of the un-
iverse and nothing stands. We must
go forward or we must go backward—
we must press on to grander heights,
to greater glories, or see the laurels
already won turn to ashes on our
brow. We may sometimes slip;
shadows may obscure our path: the
boulders may bruise our feet; there
may be months of mourning and days
of agony; but however dark the night.
Hope, a poising eagle, will ever burn
above the unrisen morrow. Trials we
may have and tribulations sore; ^>ut
I say unto you, oh brothers mine,
that while God reigns and the human
race endures, this nation, born of
our father's blood and sanctified by
our mother's tears, shall never pass
away.—Speech of W. C. Brann at
San Antonio, July 4, 1893.
President Taft was renominated by
the Chicago convention on the first
ballot, getting 5ttl votes to Roosevelt's
107. T R. lost all heart towards the
last and advised his faithful ones to
withdraw from the "tainted" conven-
tion. He will head an independent
ticket and the convention for same
will be held in August. This man
Roosevelt is a queer paradox; he
used the same methods to nominate <
Taft iu 1908 that Taft now used to
renominate himself, and never thot
there was anything wrong about it at
the time, but now that he got aldose
of his own medicine he thinks there is
"hell to pay and the bank gone
busted." Roosevelt will never be
satisfied until the American people as
a whole repudiate him publicly at the
polls, which they will do in November.
