NOT FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE
That organization which calls itself
the Texas Commercial Secretaries
Association and which has for sqme
time now been bndeavoring to shape
the politics of this state and which
is using the newspapers of the state
some of them to accomplish its
purposes Is not an organization
friendly to the masses generally al-
luded to as the common people
This conclusion was reached
holds up Texas laws as inimical to
the investment of capital when as a
matter of fact Texas Jaws as a
whole are just laws and are framed
to protect capital as well as the in-
dividual The same howl was sent
up over the Jim Hogg laws but those
laws have since proven the best pos-
sible laws for legitimate investment
and for the people They prevent the
state being turned over to the mon-
eyed robbers for exploitation
Texas would indeed be in a pietty
pickle were the lawmaking machin-
ery turned over to the people who are
grinding out this Commercial Sec-
retary dope And when the people
get beyond the power to think and
act for themselves might be time
enough to turn the job over to these
political schemeis
GIVE THE DOC A CHANCE
The Herald is not scientist enough
to make a ruling on the claims of the
men who discovered the Noith Pole
Just between the two men Cook and
Peary taking them on their past con-
duce we had rather give Cook the
benefit of the doubt because he
seems to be the better grade man
His explanation of his polar trip is
not so empty as some of his critics
have tried to make it appear and he
may have reached the pole or hon-
estly thought he did We do not be-
lieve Peary ever did with all of his
boasting But it would be gratifying
to thousands of people who believe in
fair play to see au organization back
Cooks claims and thrash the whole
subject out Here is a chance for
some good old Santa Claus to do a
real good work that of saving a man
from the reputation of being the most
collosal liar in history
THE TAXLESS TOWN
There is a little town in Sweden by
the name of Orson Orson Remem
her that name For Orson is one of
some the greatest towns in the world
Of cdurse Orson isnt as big as
London or New York or Bagdad or
perhaps Oshkosh But Orson has done
something that none of the socalled
gieat cities of the world has ever
done
Orson has dodged all local taxes
successfully and honestly
Tlie Orson railway is free to every

Of course there isnt anything to
hinder any Aruerican town from doing
the same thing But we dont notice
any American town doing it To date
Milwaukee seems to be the only
American town that has even thought
about it
But its worth thinking about isnt
it
Also it might be worth while to con-
sider at the same time the fact that
while Orson was paying her munici-
pal expenses for the past year from
the proceeds of her wellkept forest
the American nation through neglect
of her forests was suffering a loss of
two hundied million dollars and more
than a hundred lives San Antonio

FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER
Oh weary days of ceaseless clamor
Oh drudgeiy devoid df glamour
Good people think t
Oh hordes of wild belated shoppers
Of bustling Mas and flippant Poppers
Good people think
Of fussy folks and cranky buyers
Of stupid lunks andfluent liars
Good people think
Of angry woids and ugly scowling
Of childrens shrieks and baby howling
Good people think
Of fetid air and headache splitting
Of standing standing never sitting
Good people think
Of fainting spells and dizzy reelings
Of broken health and wounded feelings
Good people think
Of ills that Uneaten to surmount her
The gill that stands behind the coun-
ter
Good people stop and think
