residences, and civic attractive-
ness. Let it ever be thus.
Truck fntmers of South Texas
estimate that their loss owing to

this fiotorial district, a news-
paperman, has introduced a bill

THIS BILL SHOULD PASS
The bill designed to stop reck-
less auto driving irl Texas ought
to be passed by the Legislature.
Municipal ordinances and exist
ing statutes fail to provide thai
remedial means for which there
is increasing and instant de-
mand. The measure proposed
by County Atiorney Lively
would make it a criminal offense
to injure persons by reckless
driving,' unquestionably a dras-
tic measure, but the only sort
that will effectually restrain the
fool and the coward at the wheel.
The clapping on of heavy penal-
ties in a few cases would do the
work. Any legislator who is in
doubt as to the need of such a
I restraining law is inyited to navi
gate the business district of
Dallas any Saturday afternoon.
Dallas Journal.
Don't have to go Dallas, or
any other certain city, on any
certain day or hour. Just go
out any country road and watch
for a few hours, any dayand
you will be convinced that tnere
are peoplellowed to run loose
and drive autos who ought to be
locked up in a bug house, Also,
iuBt read the payers any day,
and you will find accounts of
auto accidents out on the roads
with loss of life, and 99 per cent
of them are caused by reckless,
or at least careless driving, No
man, or woman either, has a
right to hog all of the road-. A
sensible traffic law with adequate
penalties is what we want, right
now. Mexia Herald. .

tinual satisfaction it insures. Our cus-
tomers include users of oils in all lines of
industry, in all parts of the worM and
the way in which

please them is demonstrated by their
continued use, as well as by the thou-
sands of letters we receive telling us en-
thusiastically of the results obtained.
This quality is due to the policy behind
the manufacture and sales of Texaco
products a policy which believes in
-'making oil suitable for exacting- serv7
ice under all conditions and keeping up
their standard.

SUFFRAGE RESOLUTION.
Tho resolution introduced in
the House of Representatives at
Austin requiring lull (United
States) citizenship as a prere
quisite to the exercise of the suf
frage was passed to engrossment
by such an overwhelming ma
jorityIll to 14 as to leave no
doubt as to its adoptton.Jby that'
body.
Tho resolution calls for Jthe
submission of an amendment to
the State constitution that will
grant the suffrage to such new
citizens as have not merely tak-
en out their first papers of natu-
ralization, but have completed
the citizenship requirements and
have received theirjfinal papers.
This is in accordance with the
Federal laws on the subject, re-
quiring that foreign-born persons
shall have resided within the
country continously for five
years before full citizenship can
ne granted. The right of the
suffrage, however, comes from
the State, and may be extended
to aliens who have merely de-
clared their intention to become
citizens in some of the States
this declaration may be made
and the privilege of the elective
franchise granted after a resi-
dence of only six months, and
this privilege may be enjoyed in-
definitely without final Federal
papers being taken out. In most
of the States, however, the suf-
frage is withheld until full Na-
tional citizenship has been ac-
quired. San Antonio Express."
The- State senate of Oregon
has passed a bill making it a
misdemeanor for a person un-
rW tho influence of liouor to
drive an auto, and to make own-
ers of autos liable to punishment
by law who do not discharge in-
toxicated chauffeurs, Safety
first. Waco News.
Yes, bv all means discharge
the chauffeur. If you do not, he
will discharge you sooner or
later into some man's cotton
patch.
