FRIDAY, "AUG, 27, 1915
A newspaper is nothing more
nor less than a clearing house
for gossip, and the editor iB head
janitor of the whole works.
Carranza seems to be sur-
rounded by a nice little bunch
ot candy-sucking generals who
are playfully dallying with his
glorious whiskers.
The German army in Russian
1 Poland is complaining that the
rapid retreat of the Russians
uoes not Olio w me uurumu unity
an opportunity to view the beau-
tiful scenery.
German submarines continue
to sink passenger steamers, not-
withstanding the deluge of pro-
tests. But so long a none of
their torpedoes hit the fountain
pen in the White House we are
safe within the veil.
At any rate 0. P. Pyle, the
old soldier of the Belton Journal,
has not yet humiliated us or our
friends by appearing in his late
style low-neck pants and high-
water shirts. But our latch-
string still hangs on the hair-trigger.
The next time you get into a
conversation with one of the
Bartlett tight-wads, just recite
a word of which he does not
know the meaning, and watch
him close up like a clam. He
infariably thinks you are asking
'for money, or wanting him to
reduce his rate of interest.
, A learned Milwaukee doctor,
.jiwhrf is a specialist in the treat-
raent of liquid diseases, says that
ka, an occasional glass ot beer is a
$r rgood tonic and a mud stimulant.
, We would part with our last
glhsa marble to listen to that doc-
I' tor-ihteryiew an overflow meet-
& ing of the W. C. T. U, ladies
'of Bartlett.
The law now requires Are es-
x canes to be attached to all school
" ........ -,-r i L
buildings, nave our trustees
made this provision? They say
. ..they have not got the money.
Then some provision must be
made to get it, if the citizens
have to go "down in their pockets
for it. These days a school can-
aot exist, is not allowed by law
.- to exist, without a fire escape.
' ' If our trustees open that school
t? without it it means lail for each
one of the board. Now, there
you are. Georgetown Sun.
'The stores of Bartlett are put-
' ting' on display their fall and
v winter gala attire in re-arrang-
, ing stocks and increasing them
fL.1 ia many instances. Nearly all
of the, merchants or their buyers
have returned from the eastern
wholesale districts and they are
closely followed by a line of
goods that promise some start-
ling surprises. Bartlett leads
as the price center of this sec-
tion and, as will be noted in
succeeding issues of this paper;
their prices will be even lower
than formerly, qualities of ma-
terials considered. The purchas-
ing pnblic will not be fooled in
Bartlett stores, and now is the
time for our merchants to let
them know it.
Sometimes when a progressive
measure is proposed by some
live man, others immediately
begin to devise means to nip it
in the bud, and that, too, with-
out giving the proposed measure
any thought. This is invariably
the case where there are two
recognized factions in the com-
munity. Whatever one faction
proposes is antagonized by the
other. This is prejudice, blind
and foolish. Why not investi-
gate first? The measure may
be a good one; you might have
proposed it yourself if you bad
happened to think of it before
the other fellow did, and upon
investigation it may prove the
very thing you hud in mind, If
its object is for the betterment
of your community, it at least
deserves your consideration. You
may, while not approving it in
detail, like its general plan; and
may, after carefully studying it,
offer amendments of improve-
ment which the original promo-
ter may be only too glad to ac-
cept, Your ideas are as good as
his and he knows they are. By
consideration you win respect,
perhaps his friendship, and when
you offer something he may help
you in return, The Cameron
Herald.
A child is born in the neigh-
borhood and the attending phy-
sician gets $10. The editor then
giyes the noisy youngster and
the happy parents a send-off and
gets $0. When it is christened
the clergyman gets .$10 and the
editor gets $00. It grows up
and marries. The editor pub-
lishes another long-winded ar-
ticle, and tells a dozen lies about
' 'the beautiful and accomplished
bride." The clergyman gets
$10 and a slice of cake, and the
editor gets $000. In due course
of time it dies. The'dpctor gets
from $25 to $100, and the under-
taker gets from $50 to $200; the
editor publishes a notice of its
death, and an obituary two col-
ums long, lodge and society res-
olutions, a lot of poetry and a
card of thanks and gets $0000.
No wond r so many editors get
rich quick. Ex.
What is the use of a man
spending the b st part of his
lite trying to get a home to put
a girl in, and when he gets her
finds that she's the kid who in-
vented fussing; that the spend-
thrifts of her family were all
combined in her; that she can't
wear anything unless it is made
of three dollar a yard silk, and
she won't raise a family because
it interferes with her pleasures?

local theologians may be forced
to panhandle. West News.
One by one the ships of the

Bartlett has a bunch of young
folks, both male and female,
who are putting in overtime to
keep from work. But they are
doing it gracefully and keeping
pace with the styles.
The ladies of the Womans'
Christian Temperance Union of
Bartlett will erect a public foun-
tain in that town, and during the
heated term will keep the water
cool with ice. This is the first
instance of this kind in this sec-
tion of Texas and is Worthy of
highest commendation. George-
town Commercial.
After many years of wrestling
with the demon of greed and
graft in both high and low places
Galveston has at last emerged
cleansed and purified by a fear-
ful bapt'sm of flood and fire.
Following the zhrm of 1900 the
numberless cases c pilferings,
of questionable conff stations of
donations and of prohibitive ad-
vances in the prices of commod-
ities, were bold and blatent.
But an iron hand is now at the
helm of Galveston's city govern-
ment. As Boon as Mayor Fisher
caught his breath he notified the
world that Galveston could care
for herself, with the possible
exception of a temporary supply
of bread and water. He notified
all merchants that the price of
provisions must not be increased
under threat of confiscation. He
then issued orders that all able-
bodied, unemployed men must
assist in restoring the city to i(s
normal condition, for which they
would be paid the prevailing nor-
mal wages. He finished his few
commandments by stating that
at the present writing visitors
and rubber-necks are not wanted.
Wo move that Mayor Fisher be
crowned'the Storm Savior of the
Gulf coast. ' -- a
