gallon of gasoline, 100 miles on 1 pint of lubricat-

1 The political pot is boiling.
While we are talking so much
about the governor's race, let us
get cldser to home and begin to
select . av representative to the
state legislature for Williamson
county.
A petition was circulated in
Killeen last week asking the
commissioners court to order an
election that the people may
vote whether or not pool halls
shall operate in Bell county.
The petition carried a large list
of signers.
Two men were disputing as to
which smells the worst, a goat
or a tramp. They finally de-
cided to leave it to a third party.
First they brought in the goat
and the judge fainted. Then
they brought in the tramp and
the goat fainted. Ellsworth
Messenger,
There are three grades of so-
ciety, the high, the low and the
intermediate. A glass of water
is a fair illustration of the three
grades, oracularly, remarks the
Stone County Oracle. The scum
floats on top, the dregs settle to
the bottom, while the pure
stands between the two.
The Herald is forever and
eternally against the liquor
traffic. But that is not all. It
is against unjust taxation, is for
better schools, is for better roads
and more real progress, and does
not propose to subordinate all
these to please a lot of politicians
who are trying to control every-
thing. Hamilton Herald.
The outlook, for 1914 Is as
cheerful a3 the outlook for 1913
was depressing.
Twelve months back we were
told that the narcel Dost would
Lelitninate the small merchant on
account or tne advantage it gave
the mail order house. The par
cel post has come and by it the
smnll merchant is,, if anything
doing more business than before
because the parcel post enables
him to get special orders thru
in less time and at less expense.
A vear ago we were told that
a revision of the tariff down-
ward would open our ports to a
flood of foreign products which
would drpwn out the home manu-
facturer, leave the wage earner
without work and precipitate la
disastrous panic, As a matter
of fact, '.imports from Europe
were less in October, 1913, than
they were in 1912 and so far
there has been no indication of
any rush of foreign goods to this
country.
Setting aside the hoodoo stories
issued by political factions re-
ports from centers of industry in
all parts of the country are to
the effect that additional help
will he required in most of the
large plants and that there are
orders enough in sight to assure
steady work for the entire year.
The only backward member in
the outlook is capital which seems
to be timid. During January
there will probably be several
re-adjustments of investments
that may bring about important
changes in the financing of many
large concerns. This is liable
to have an effect on commercial
credit all along the line so that
even the smaller concerns may
find money a little tight.
This condition will be takep
care of by thelnew banking law.
however, and by the time the
sDring onens up credit will have
been re-adjusted.
With industries running full
time and finance on a sounder
basis than before. 1914 should
prove to he a year ot unpre-
cedented prosperity. E 1 g i n
Courier. .
District Clerk Gene Upshaw
s was over from Belton yesterday
mingling with friends and mak-
ing new ones. Eugene stated
that he was attending to busi-
ness and at the same time mak
ing the race for re-election just
the same as though he had op-
position. Gene is one of those
boy's who will stay in office just
as long as he wishes to. The
people love to vote for men who
have ability. Temple Mirror.
If th people of Texas keep up
this political brawl over the
governor's election, and (let any
old thing get into the legislature
the state will be in a" sight worse
shape than it now is, and God
knows it's bad enough. The
governor of a state is helpless,
regardless of his views, unless the
legislators, are with him.
A Georgia town has voted in
favor of saloons and here is the
reason, as given by a citizen:
"If we are going to stand for
our women folks wearing shad-
ow and slit skirts and our youn-
ger women learning to dance
the boll weevil wiggle, Texas
Tommy tango, the bunny hug,
the bear dance, the calf-canter,
the buzzard flop and so on down
the lino, the men folks might
just as well have their saloons
and the whole push go to hell
together."

In Hannibal, Mo., lives a man
who perhaps holds the world's
record for Sunday school attend-
ance. J. W. Mounce, of that
city, has not failed to attend a
Sunday school a single Sunday
for forty-one years, and in sixty-
one years he has been absent
from Sunday school just once.
Mr. Mounce has passed the three
score and ten years allotted to
man. and since he was ten years
old he has not had a spell of sick-
ness nor required the services of
a physician. .-.Honey Grove Signal.
"Is religion true? I don't
know and don't care. But if it
is a lie it is the most beautiful
one over told; one from which
truth itself might learn. Could
we exist as a nation without it?
France tried it. Does it do anv
harm? No! Then why destroy
it? Don't. Itjs as old as civil
ization, It was part of our
fathers' lives. It was almost
all of our mothers' all except
the p art we filled. We have
been sung to sleep a thousand
times by its hymns. We are
better men and women now
whenever we hear them sung.
They are joined to tender emo-
tions. It has made many a man
happier and better, more honest
tender and forgiving. Many a
man and woman have lain down
within its shade peacefully, to
awake nobody knows where.
Don't destroy it. Why, nine-
tenths of the mothers in Ameri-
ca believe in it.
That is enough for it It has
been growing on our hearth
stone for ages. Let it stay
there. It can't hurt you. It is
such a lovely religion. What
will you give in its stead if you
take it away? Philosophy! What
are you to do when tired and
homesick? Love! Earthly loves
are so selfish. It is such a beau-
tiful delusion. Don't destroy it.
Weave the silver threads that
reach down from the Star of
Bethlehem into the golden woof
of sunlight. Train its clinging
tendrils around the bare walls of
your lives, and cover up the jag-
ged corners and rough unsightly
places with this beautiful Myth
of Calvary."
There is no greater influence
against the evils of profanity,
drunkenness, lying and dishonest
dealings than the Sunday school
It teaches young people to ab-
hor these vices and when they
are older the temptations that
may hover about them are more
easily resisted. Even the few
that do not accept Christianity
are extremely fortunate in hav-
ing their children taught in the
Sunday school, for where is
there more morality, more ele-
vating history, more purity in
thought and action than in the
Holy Scriptures?
Children who attend Sabbath
school have their minds directed
to the lofty, the noble, the sub-
lime, and thus the association
with the best people in the
neighborhood makes the Sunday
school a great factor for both
social and Christian advance
ment. Farm and Ranch.
True religion makes a man
quit his bad habits, love his
neighbors and endeavor to live
a clean life, sending out whole-
some influences. This is about
the noblest thing a man or
woman can do. and is the only
thing that will bring happiness
into life. We may win honors
and grow rich in this worlds
goods, but without religion we
can never be contented and
happy. Grandview Tribune.
No man can serve two masters;
for either he will hate the one,
and love the other; ,or else he
will hold to the one. and despise
the other- Ye can not serve God
and mammon. Matthew 6:24.
Pretty hard "dope" for this
age of commercialized religion.
But its so, just the same, regard-
less of whose toes are pinched,
wetter taKe an inventory pi ye
self, brother, and see who's your
master.
Declines To Run.
. Hon. John Hughes of George-
town representative from Wil-
liamson county, to the State
Legislature, was avisitor in Tay-
lor yesterday. Mr. Hughes has
declined the nomination for a
second term in the Legislature,
but yesterday his Taylor friends
were urging him to yield to their
wishes. It is reported from
Georgetown that R. E. Ward,
mayor of that city is being urged
to announce for the legislature
as a successor to Mr. Hughes but
so far no public announcement as
of his candidacy has been made.
It is also reported that Hon,
J. B. Salyer of Johah is being
urged to become a candidate for
representative from Williamson
County to the State Legislature.

about young girls as" they pass

other fellow may b standing on
the other corner making similar
remarks about ' your sister,
mother or daughter? Never
thought of that, did you?
