FRIDAY JANUARY 29 1926.
After complaining that coun-
try towns are too quiet some
folks move to the cities and
then complain because the noise
prevents them from sleeping at
nights.
The railroad measure before
the senate is denounced because
it does not protect public inter-
est. Never mind senator1 we'll
pick up enough coal along the
tracks to square the matter.
Report from Indiana is that an
other Beveridge boom for the

Some folks think it is busi

store whose mind is not on her
work.
The snowfall last Saturday
"was reported to be a splendid
blessing for the farmers and
was the cause of universal re-
joicing on all sides. On account
of it gram crops 'were saved from
injury. In addition to the pre-
cipitation snow is believed to be
very good for soil. There is a
belief that it adds nitrogen to
the soil more so than rain and
that it also .tends to pulverize
the surface.
Though it is not always fair
we easily say that those who
have given up church going and
prayers and grace before meals
have ceased or are ceasing to be
religious. They usually have.
They still may be married by a
minister and call upon the church
to bury their dead but when all
tho regular habits of religion
re gone religion is usually
gone. Angus Dun.

ONE SERVICE OP AVIATION.
The fine of for of $2500000 by
Daniel Guggenheim to encourage
devclonment of commercial avi
ation will not morely promote
the business progress of Ameri-
ca and provide possible resour
ces of defense if war ever oomes
but it is also a step toward a
more complete unity in our coun-
try. We have a grand nation but
the great distances that seper-
ate the various states are an ob-
stacle toward complete unity.
The easier it is to cross the dis-
tance between remote states
the oss the differences betweetn
the sections grow. People meet
more strangers from distant sec
tions and hence become less nar-
row and not so inclined to sec
only the point of view pf their
own locality. ...
When commercial air linos are
running all over the country
and people are journeying regul-
arly across and up and down tthe
continent in the quick time of
air transport the various sec-
tions will be bound together
more intimately than ever be-
fore. It is hard to maintain a
sectional point of view when peo
pie are constantly meeting visi-
tors and travellers from distant
states.
The question of whether long
or short skirts should be worn
is one that has never been set-
tled and we fear' it never vill be.
In order to satify all parties
some women of the east have
adopted a plan of placing their
skirts on rollers like window
curtains. In crowds where short
skills meet approval the skirts
are rolled up; where long skirts
are demanded the skirts are
rolled down. This ought to quiet
all parties. The only fear we
entertain is that the springs in
the rollers may not be depend-
able. We know our window cur-
tain turns loose of its own ac-
cord occassionally and rolls to
the top. Jim Lowry in Honey
Grove Signal.
Social workers in cities fre-
quently remark regarding some
children under their care that
they have found "a good home
in the country where these lit-
tle ones will be free from tem-
ptation." Many thousands of
these little ones have been saved
from degeneration amid the vi-
cious surroundings of the streets
and turned into self respecting
citizens just by finding them a
good country home where they
would learn to work unci where
the incitements to vice would
not be strong. Not all country
homes are suited to take care of
such children but a well rogu-
Jited country home will take care
of a boy or girl who would go
wrong in the cities and bring
such ones up to be useful mem-
bers of society.

COUNTRY LIBRARIES
One of tho greatest lacks of
country towns today is the con-
dition found in many of the
states where only a email frac-
tion of these communities have
any public library. Such an in
stitution should be regar'ded as
an essential feature in the de-
velopment of a rural community.
There ought to be movements
to start public libraries in every
country town. However that
takes initiative and hustle and
public spirit so that this ideal
will not be realized for sometime.
Meanwhile a great deal of good
could be accomplished for popu
lar education if country libraries
could be started in the centers
of rural counties to which the
people who are without near by
library service could resort for
their books.
- It is pointed out for instance
that even in such a wealthy and
progressive state as New York
after 50 years of legislation for
free public libraries and after 90
year's of effort to provide the
rural people with books there is
today a population of 1200000
without such public library fa-
cilities. The condition in the
majority of the states must be
much worse than that.
Access to a free public library
keeps people contented in their
country homes it increases pop-
ular intelligence and makes peo-
ple more sympathetic with ad-
vance movements.
Every school house should be
a center for distributing books
to the nearby population. Book
wagons and automobiles should
be sent out from central lib
raries with supplies of reading
so that people in outlaying vil-
lages and in towns without li-
braries can obtain the things
they want.
A county that provides its
people with good books and mag.-
azines is sure to keep much clos
er up to the times. Its people
will know what is going on in
the world and they wil not be
satsfied unless their own local-
ities are making a reasonable ef-
fort to keep up with the proces-
sion. The Groundhog's Venture.
If you look back of the old
popular superstitions you will
usually find that they convey
some idea out of human wisdom.
It is so of the picturesque old
tale about the groundhog how
he comes out of his hole on Can-
dlemas day and looks around for
his shadow. If the sun is bright
and cheery things do not look
right to him and he goes back
to sleep six weeks more. But if
the sun is clouded in so he can
not see his shadow then he will
stay out and prepares for his
work for the year at ravaging
the gardens of the neighbor-
hood. In the latitudes where that
old tale has been handed down
it is usually pretty cold weather
on Febrauary 2. The sufficient
vegetables on which he depends
are not even planted yet through
most of his territory and how
he expects to pick up enough of
food at that time when snow and
ice cover much of the temperate
belt is a good deal of the mys-
tery. But Brer Groundhog probably
knows supplies of food located
about the homes and orchards.
Meanwhile he is no doubt laying
his plan of campaign for a sum-
mer of conflict with the farmer's
boy. If the weather on Febru
ary 2 is such as to encourage him
to stay out he can find work to
do. There are new secret exits
to dig from his hole whereby he
can elude all raids made upon
his den and escape by some se-
cure passage while men boys
and dogs are only endeavoring
by building a fire at his front
door" to force him to come out
that way.
All of which1 ia not without hu-
man signfiennce. Tho old tale
suggests that if we wiBh to at-
tain success in this world we
must be up nnd doing rather
than sleeping and if conditions
look nnywhoro favorable we
musjt be prepared to meet diff i
cultios. encounter some storms
and! chills and get to work be
fore our competitors do.

government would find it dif
ficult to explain from a world
standpoint why artificial prices
on raw rubber are any more in
defensible than artificial prices
on ateel products and other in
dustriul items.
PITY T1S TIS TRUE
Tho Dallas Times-IIorald says
if Thomas Jefferson wore alive
today he would probably be a re-
publican. If Thomas Jefferson
were alive today ho would turn
one look of agony upon tho party
that he founded and drop dead
again. George Bailey in Hous-
ton Post-Dispatch.
At tho outset there was the
Federalist party and the Anti-
Federalist party the one for a
loose construction and tho other
for a strict construction of the
Constitution.
The Anti-Federalists changed
their party name to Democratic
Republicans and later took the
shorter name Republican and
so as a matter of fact Thomas
Jefferson was a Republican for
that was the crowd with which
he ran.
Some one has said that "Jeff-
erson's importance lies in the
fact that he became the repre-
sentative n6t merely of demo-
cracy but of local democracy."
In 1825 the Strict Constitu-
tionalist or Republicans took
tho name of Jackson Men under
the leadership of old Andy and
in 1828 these Jackson men as-
sumed the name of Democrat
and they controlled the govern-
ment until 1840 when the Whig
party successor of the old Fed-
eralist party came into power
under the leadership of William
Henry Harrison.
The presidential campaign of
1844 centered around two ques-
tions; the first the annexation
of Texas ; and the second the
northern boundry of Oregon
and the Democratic nominee
Polk won over the Whig nomi-
nee Clay on those issues.
The Whigs came back in 1848
their man being Zachary Taylor
but four years later they were
defeated by tho Democrats un-
der the leadership of Franklin
Pierce who was succeeded by
James Buchanan also a Demo-
crat. By this time the Whig party
virtually ceased to exist the
slavery question being upper
most new parties having sprung
up on every hand. In the presi-
dential election of I860 the De-
mocrats were divided the North
er'n iwing nominating Douglas of
Illinois and the Southern wing
Breckinridge of Kentucky. Two
anti-slavery candidates were put
in nomination Bell of tho Amerl
can party and Lincoln of the
Republican party the latter be-
ing for the most part the suc-
cessor of the Whig party. Lin-
coln received about two-fiifths
of the popular' vote but he had
a majority in the electoral col-
lege and so was born the party
that now controls the Fedral
government.
There is no inconsistency in a
Republican advocating Fedoral
control of many of our cdhcerns ;
he is standing where Hamilton
stood where the Adamases stood
where Harrison stood where
Taylor stood where Clay stood
and measurably where Lincoln
stood although it must be said
for Lincoln that he never repudi
ated the doctrine of Stato Rights
be being elected on a platform
which denied the authority of
Congress of a territorial legisla-
ture or of any individual to give
legal existance to nlavery in any
territory of the United States.
After his election and before his
inauguration Mr. Lincoln wrote
a confidential letter to Alexan-
der H. Stephens of Georgia in
which he disavowed any intent-
ion of interfering with the rights
of the States.
What is tho matter with the
Democratic party of today? It
is no longer an opposition party
save in a contest for the spoils
i ou reader have heard of a cer-
tain party who out-Heroded
Herod. Well insofar as princi-
ples are concerned the Demo-
cratic party of today out-Feder-alizes
the Federals. Every ad-
vance towards centralization
finds tho Democratic party far
in the lend. This may be an un-
paatablc statement to some of
you bretliorn beloved but fact
it is. Texas has men at Wash-
ington posing as Demorats who
are far in advance of Calvin Cool-
idge in Federalizing "the govern-
ment .and Coolidge a Republican
and supposed to be standing
where Hamilton and tho Adams'
stood. And that's why George
Bailey and truthfully so too
says that Thomas Jefferson
were alive today would turn one
look of agony upon tho party
that ho founded and drop dead
again. Pity 'tis time. Waco
