The true hero is he who dares sacrifice those things which are not worth keeping at the loss of the things that are of eternal worth. No treasure is too great spent in the cause of human ity, no sacrifice of time is vain if spent for the better ment of mankind and the upbuilding of an ennobling manhood or womanhood. The fact of the various extensions, betterments, the giving of immense orders for rails, and other evidences of prosperity, show that the claim of the railroads that they would be forced into bankruptcy if not permitted to raise their freight rates was a monumental bluff. There is a reckoning coming for the owners of the New York building in which 150 persons, mostly young women, lost their lives a few days ago. The place was a fire trap, inadequately provided with fire escapes and safety appliances. Such slim means of exit as did exist h id been partitioned off or boarded up. It seems in conceivable that in the chief city of the country, which p 'ides itself on its government, such a condition of af fairs could be permitted to exist. A rigid investigation is promised—after 150 lives have paid the penalty for sjmeone’s criminal carelessness. Bryan’s position at the present time is unique. There is no doubt that in the three campaigns he made for the presidency he succeeded in establishing the democratic party in the minds and hearts of the American people as the popular party, devoted to the interests of the common people, as opposed to the interests of the plu tocracy. It is true that all three elections were lost, but the fruit of his splendid fighting is seen in the dem ocratic house just elected. When Mr. Bryan began his 1 jadership the party was very much in the wilderness o i account of the Wilson tariff bill fiasco, which Presi dent Cleveland denounced as “party perfidy and dis honor.” Mr. Bryan was the democratic Moses, and in fourteen years, instead of the forty years taken by the great Jewish leader, has led his party within sight of the promised land. It is too early to select the man who is to be the democratic Joshua. “I have troubles of my own don’t tell me yours,” and similar mottoes, are to be found posted over so many business men’s desks. The busy world has neither time nor inclination to listen to the tales of woe breathed in to unwilling ears so frequently. It is a duty we owe to ourselves, as well as to others, to catch the sunshine and store it in our souls to be drawn upon in cases of emergency. 8t. rated among our most influential and capable citizen ship, assume the role, it is a fact much to be regretted, and one which we hope for the good of all will never again be attempted. We sincerely tender our thanks to those who took the Itemizer’s advice and voted for a ticket of progress, and it will be our aim to assist all in our power to see that they do not regret their choice. As the leading paper, in every way, within the borders of Polk, it has been our aim to always adsocate what was right in county and city affairs, influenced in no way by any personal advantage, and we take it as a compliment that our many readers seem willing to take our judgment in the matter, and believe that we will always be found working for what we earnestly believe is for the best interests of all.

Do not permit yourself to become discouraged over reverses, but keep a stiff upper lip, for every cloud has its silver lining. Bear your own burdens with the best grace possible, ever re membering that you are not the only one afflicted, “ It’s all very well to be pleasant When life goes by with a song. Since the nomination of the Progressive ticket the Itemizer has never for one instant been in doubt but what it would win out at the polls by a good majority, the only question in our minds being its preponderance of vot^s. We were certain that if aroused to the neces sity the good citizenship of Dallas would by their votes emphatically assert that they were entirely satisfied with the work of the present councilmen who were ask ing for election once more in order to carry out policies which they had outlined and had under way for the wellbeing of the city. A practically two to one victory for the entire ticket is a victory to be immensely proud of, but it should have been greater, and would have been, had not many of our best citizens allowed them selves to believe the aspersions cast by the little bunch of city knockers who originated the whole citizens ticket for their personal ends. Their eyes were blinded by this coterie of mossbaeks to the efficient work of said councilmen for the city the time, labor and expense these men have unhesitatingly and continuously given to make of Dallas a progressive as well as a clean and healthy city, and were led to believe all kinds of stories regarding graft, high taxes and many other bugaboos that originated only in the minds of the knockers. As a city of progress Dallas has during the last ten years been as economically administered as it was possible to do. Our taxes have been slightly higher than they were when this was a budding village, but every fair minded citizen must expect that as the town grows and the expenses of government take on greater needs. To the man of sense, the charges of graft made by the op position are not worth the space necessary to answer them, as all know them to be entirely false in every particular. The Itemizer hopes that after their decisive defeat this small bunch of malcontents will now quiet down and work harmoniously with the rest of us for a greater and better Dallas in every way. Every town must have its knockers, but when some who could be OUT OF THE COUNTY. PRICE, $3,500 Object of selling, must get closer to my place of business. Call and see us for terms.
