Having been appoint, a ;> .-it!iiivvr
lit Childress, and hut in*; assumed
the duties of tilt' office, it becomes
necessary for the writer to ..-ise
active connection with 'he papei
Tiie ownership will remain the same,
hut fftvil I., Maskett will he editor
and publisher, at. least for the pre*
ent. There will be no change in the
Policy of Hit paper, the effort belut;
made to conduct it In the future as
In the punt, all for the benefit of
Childress county and this section of
Texas.
The writer put out the first Issue
of The index, as owner and editor,
on June in, IKS'.', therefore has been
ai the heliu a week more than twenty-
four years. In that tluie many chung
tin have taken place in Childress
county, hut there has never been a
change In the policy of The Index.
Tfclb paper has always been for the
oeht Interests of the community, as
the editor saw them. He may have
be.en mistaken, and doubtless was
many times, but when the mistake
was realized there was no hesitHuo
In getting on the right side. As in
the past The Index will be found
fighting for the upbuilding of the
co; iiuunlty, ever jealous' of lis name
and standing.
in tills connection the writer wish-
es to thank the patrons of the paper
tor the many courtesies shown din-
ing the past twenty-four years
While many may not have been de-
served, yet the writer has always
endeavored to show a Just apprecla
tion of these courtesies, not only in
a personal way, but b> trying to
make a paper worthy of the city,
county and the people While his
Ideal has not been reached, and the
writer never expects to be able to
do that, yet he has always been loyal
to Us friends and always endeavor-
ed to treat Its enemies, if any, with
justice, never seeking to pay off any
fancied slights by opposition through
the columns of thy paper. With this
feeling the writer releases publica-
tion of the paper and trusts that all
the patrons will continue to «ive
the paper the s;yue support, in the
future as in the past, assuring each
and every one the paper will keep up
the high standard set by many years
of hard work.

Now that the matter of good
roads is a settled question in Chil-
dress county the matter of the far-
mers buying wagons with wide tires
should be taken up and talked about
until the movement was put in ef-
fect. In every county where good
graded roads have been made the far-
mers have found that the narrow
tires cut out the roads and cause a
great deal of unnecessary work upon
the roads. The dealers in many
Instances will make the same price
for a wide tire as they do for the
narrow tires. Let the farmers take
this matter up and see It they cannot
assist the road workers in making
better roads in Childress county.
SHOULD ACT QUICK.
It It* reported that the postofflces
of Olympus and Louie are to - be
discontinued, and at an early date.
The report has it the postoffice de-
partment has accepted the resigna-
tions of the postmasters at those
Dlacee and have notified the people
that the offices would he abolished
aa soon as an inspector could get
around to do the work.
This Is something Childress should
not permit. If possible. There Is a
large amount of mail going to those
neighborhoods from Childress, which
cannot ha served in any other man-
ner. It would be a great inconveni-
ence to the patrons of those offices
as well as the people of Childress t >
have the offices abolished and a pro
tost should be entered. As the de-
partment has promised to close the
offices at an early date it will he
necessary for the peoplp to act quick

in each county No jther paper
could buy them ,it any cost and so
'ar as The Index knows there is no
other house In this section of the
•.•ountry that furnishes magazine sec-
tions.
The .Saint Louis Republic, f'hicagi
Herald and numerous other pews
papers use syndicate magazines. Th
natter carried by these publications
is exclusive and no one newspaper
could afford to buy the matter for
their exclusive use, hence they buy
from the syndicates. The Index
pays a good price for our monthly
magazine section, yet no extra cost
has been added to subscription price
of The Index. Of course we could
issue a ptiper on a more stingy basi
but the high standing of The Index
has been prompted on the idea that
"there's nothing too good for our
waders." Our readers evidently ap-
preciate the magazine is is evidenc-
ed when the magazine is lost or mis-
placed by them that rhej never fail
to call and ask for another copy.
It is Indeed unfortunate that news-
paper men cannot edit, i paper to
suit the fancy of the Post editor, and
In the meantime The Index will con-
tinue to give its subscribers the beat
paper published in Childress and a
ten-page magazine in iddition for the
prlco of $ 1.00—the same is others
ask for something not. near so good.
And. too, we feel that we are due
the Post thanks for the little adver-
tising so generously given in its edi-
toral columns.
ARE NOT DEMOCRATS
A SWAP.
The Childness Index has an article
thli week suggesting a swap between
Chlldresg and Hall counties whereby
the former would become possessed
of the territory embracing Kstelline
and Hulver In exchange for that part
of Children* conuty lying north of
Red River. The Index thinks that
If the river should tie made the line
the two counties might build a bridge
across the river without, putting too
great a burden upon either.— Rstel-
line News.
If the Observer's Enervations ire
correc;, there ire more liagruntleii
lemocrats In Quan tit and Hardeman
county three or four times over,
than there are republicans. The Tar-
iff Is the cause of it. Every man
whose pocket is hard hit by the pro-
posed tariff and also the prospects
of tight money has become i repub-
lican in the making. One can catch
any of a do/.eu business titan of this
Ity who have been consistent de-
mocrats heretofore, '.nil they all
make vehement > uni some profane)
protests against the proposed revi-
sion of the tariff downward. It's a
plain case of whose ox is being gored
and it seems to be the democratic ox
as well a ttta republican critter.—
lliianah Observer
Those democrats who are kicking
on the tariff measure now before
congress are not very strong in the
faith. Not only the democrats
of the United States, but a great
majority of the republicans, have
been asking for a revision of the tar-
iff on a downward scale. While it
may be true that som • industries In
Texas may be injured by i down-
ward revision, yet there are thou-
sands of people In the state who
will be benefitted. This paper doe9
not believe that a reduction in the
tariff on live stock and on wool will
Injure Texas, but rather do the state
much good. Again, If those demo-
crats are against the t irlff measure
as brought out by the tariff commit-
tee and is ulvocated by President
Wilson, why do they, not to the*
republican party which l eileves In
fleecing the many for the benefit

JUST STEALING
When a person steals your money
or other tangible property he can be
branded as a thief, but there are
ways in which a matt can steal the
results of your labor from week to
week and you have no chance to
prosecute him, though everybody
knows he is committing the theft.
We know this from experience.—

Or Does Everything You Sat
Distress You?
Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common :n
this country is due to hasty aud
careless habits of eating Stomach
troubles and run-down conditions also
usually go together
John Lind, of Oneonta, N. V., says:
'1 have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen year-, iad
became so weak that I could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vlnol 1 And that It has
already made a remarkable Improve-
ment in my health; my digestion 19
much stronger, and I have gaine i ia
weight"
Vino! makes weak stomachs strong
because It strengthens and ton s up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned It It does not help you.
