Show Senator Bailey's Horses SENATOR BAILEY bought $12,500 worth of trotting stock in New York after the Horse Fair for his stock farm in Texas. The senator sena-tor is wiser than we thought. He has evidently learned that the elements of uncertainty in political politi-cal life are many. Maybe he has learned the deeper wisdom that if he has an independent home, where blood-colts are ready at any time to visit with him and where he can as he draws near home be greeted by "the watch dog's honest bark," there may not be nearly so much glory attached to it all as there is in the dally debates in the senate, sen-ate, but there is vastly more comfort. Then there is still another view to take of it. When the senator sen-ator has spent his vacation on the farm and gets ready -to return to Washington,, that home seems the dearest spot on earth, and when he thinks that our country is made up of homes, each to its owner, what his own is to him, his patriotism is renewed and he goes to the capitol with a desire de-sire to do better service than ever. |
