POLITICAL SPEECHES
Cameron Jan. 30. Political
announcements from his pulpit
will be taboo this year Rev. R.
S. Marshall pastor of a Cam-
eron church has announced.
Two years ago Rev. Marshall
states he was approached on the
question df making announce-
ments which he considered of
the nature of partisan politics
and therefore he declined to
make them. This year he has
spoken early before such re-
quests can be made. "I have no
advice to give as to who to vote
.for" Rev. Marshall says. "It is
a matter of individual conscience
of every true citizen and every
one who loves his country should
give governmental matters seri-
ous
and honest thought. But
the church is not the place for a
political forum."
State Executives Wanted
The federal government for
the past several years has been
able to constantly reduce taxes
while the state governments
have been constantly increasing
them.
In a few states where state
taxation has been lowered it has
come about by the vigorous ef-
forts of an able executive in the
office of governor.
Governors who have either in-
creased lax burdens or been un-
able to reduce them have gen-
erally been men who merely play
politics or individuals of cleri-
cal capacity.
If state governments are to
escape the Avoes of mob rule or
the dictator the people must so-
lect executives strong enough to
curb the appetite for political
spoils.

THE AUTOMOBILE
AND COUNTRY TRADE
Country merchants sometimes
become discouraged because
they know of so many people
who use their automobiles now
to drive to larger places .to
trade. But a wide awake merch-
ant ought to be able to find
means to offset that tendency.
One thing that is necessary
for him is to let the people of!
the surrounding district know
what he has to sell. The sec-
ond thing is to be sure that his
store looks cheerful neat and
orderly. A bigger assortment
kept in a cluttered way is less
pleasing than a smaller display
attractively arranged.
It can be said anyway that
the stores of Bartlett have this
up to date appearance and with
reasonable pushing they will al-
ways do a lot of business.
A good name is a mighty
great asset in a crisis as many
people situated in the drouth-
stricken belt of Texas will likely
learn before the proceeds of an-
other crop come in Hundreds
and hundreds of people are go-
ing to have to call on some one
to help them get by tho inter-
vening time between now and
the fall of tho year. The fellow
who has come four-square with
his creditors )n every occasion
will likely get the help he is
seeking because of the confi-
dence ho has made for himself.
But what about the man who is
careless of his promises and ob-
ligations? He's going to find
the situation a mighty hard one.
But hasn't he earned it? It
never pays to let the other fel-
low worry about our debts. The
man who makes the obligation
is the rightful porson to also
worry oibout them until they arc
amicably and satisfactorily sot-
teld. Tho drouth of 1925 will
learn many of us a lesson in
more ways than onp. Kiflcen

PRAY LESS VOTE MORE
If church people would pay
their" poll taxes and vote instead
of depending on prayer for good
government better men would
be elected to office Judge John
Charles Harris attorney told
the Kiwanis Club at noon Wed-
nesday at the Rice Hotel.
"We ought to look more into
the personal character of the
men who run for office" Harris
said. "A man isn't going to be
any better in office than he is
out."

fective when high-class men

Government Printed Envelopes.
Members of congress should
realize the strong reasons for
the passage of the Kendall bill
now pending which wiin stop
the further sale of printing on
government envelopes in com-
petition with the piinting busi-
ness. There are some who would
like to see the government go
into the business of selling fuel
groceries farm stuff nnd all
kinds of distribution. It would
almost always be found that the
appearance of savings made in
this way are illusory and that
sooner or" later tho taxpayers
and the mass of the people have
to make up for any apparent
economies that are made.
The government cannot ordi
narily on account of the peculiar
cnaracter of American politics
do its work as officiently as a
private business. Hence it
should stick to its own proper
activities. In accordance with
this principle it should retire
from the business of printing
envelopes.
Sympathy is the loftiest and
tenderest attribute of the soul.
It levels mountains of difficul-
ties and bridgos chasms of do.-
spair. It gives bread to tho
hungry and drink to the thirsty:

Wipes tho tear from sorrow's

MEANS OP OBTAINING
mu BUSINESS
It has been remarked thai the
attitude of some business men
toward advertising is like that
of the man with the leaky roof
when it rained it waB too wet
to fix the roof arid when it was
pleasant it did not need any fix-
ing. So on advertising. When bust
ness is bad they have no money
to spend on advertising and
when business is good they
think they don't need it.
The point of view thus sug-
gested fails to consider that ad-
vertising is the most rational
way of promoting the growth of
a business. It might be said
that there are three principal
ways of promoting such growth.
1. By the reputation created by
good service. This is a good
way only it takes a very long
time to create that reputation.
And the results are not depend-
able. A customer may pass by
a store which has a fine and old
established reputation to visit
one which contained a convinc
ing advertisement of some goods
just being placed on sale.
2. Attractive window displays
This is also a good way but it
has limitations. Where one per-
son sees a widow display a doz
en or hundreds may read a news
paper advertisement Also the
window display attracts princi-
pally the eye without affecting
the reason so much. Goods may
look very nice in a window and
yet be too high prteed for the
serVico they will give.
3. Advertising. This is the
most rational method because
it convinces people's reason. If
there are good reasons vhy this
or that line of stuff in a certain
store is an economical purchase
those reasons can be plainly stat
ed in a newspaper1 advertisment.
The statement of those reasons
is usually sufficient to convince
people who desire or need that
line of goods. When you con-
vince people's reason and com-
mon.sense then you have practi
cally secured their patronage.
RURAL CONDITIONS.
Many people interested in re
form movements are constantly
complaining about what they
consider is the bad condition of
things in tho country districts.
Some think that the American
farmer is drifting back to a con-
dition when he will be a good
deal like the European peasant.
Such talk seems quite ridicu-
lous to those who are familar
with rural condition in Texas.
Of course there arc plenty of
things that are not right in the
rural dish'icts just as there are
plenty of things wrong in cities
and towns. There are rural
slums and there are city slums.
But the majority of country peo-
ple have helpful institutions and
are payng their bills and making
a success of their civic enter-
prises. The defects in rural conditions
are largely a problem of educa-
tion. Certain idaes about agri-
culture and education and sani-
tation ithat are regarded as es-
sential now were hardly known
25 years ago. It is not surpris-
ing that many middle aged and
elderly people cling to the old
ways. They do just the same in
cities)
As a better educated genera-
tion of young people come on the
stage they will take more natur
ally to the newer ideas. We shall
have better farming methods
better sanitation better schools
better churches etc. These lit-
tle things will come about natur-
ally. Wo all need to work for these
changes yet we need not repre-
sent that there are many rural
sections that are in a deplorable
conditon. Even the most back-
ward ones are getting along just
about as their fathers did before
ithem which was pi'etty com-
fortably. They were greatly im-
proved some years ago when tele
phones were generally introduc
ed and a further great gain was
made when automobiles became
common and radios wore intro-
duced. Now gains of equal im-
portance will come in the near
future.

What constitutes
A CRIME?
The first duty of a patriotic
citizen is to obey and respect tne
law of the land Dallas Times-
Herald. The plea behind which the
Mirror proposes to stand
throughout the entire present
campaign is the election of hon-
est able men to office irrespec
tive ot tneir past political align-
ment irrespective of the Past
gang or clique with wnich they
nave run. We are not going
over to the republicans not by
any means. But we are going
to insist that there are in the
ranks of the democratic party
menof the same honesty and in-
tegrity the same loyalty to law
as it is wrmen as Juuge Atwell
and we think the time has come
to place them in office Hills-
boro Mirror.
But how are you going to
place in office the sort of men
you prefer Brother Buts. You
must choose from among those
who offer their servcef. And
when some issue like law en-
forcement is uppermost what a
picnic for the demagogue ! This
matter of law enforcement has
two sides to it. A people can
get so wrought up over some
question as to cause them to for-
get that every man is innocent
until his guilt is clearly estab-
lished in a court of competent
jurisdiction. No jury should
every convict a man on preju-
diced testimony. Life and lib-
erty are a man's dearest poses-
sions and he should not be de-
prived of either merely to ap-
pease the wrath of Demos. The
trouble with us here in America
is that we have never reached a
final decision as to what consti-
tutes a crime. And right there
in our humble opinion is the
explanation of the crime wave
about which everybody is talk-
ing. What constitutes a crime
Brother Butts? -Waco Times-
Herald. MEETING THE HIGH PRICES
Costs of living in this country
are now 73 per cent above the
figures before the war accord-
ing to the United States com-
missioner of labor statistics.
While many of the people may
be earning 73 per cent) more
than they were in-1913 there
are a great many who are not
and who are very hard pressed
to keep up their standards of
family comfort and education
with these prices still ruling
high.
One of the very best ways to
do this thing is to keep very
elope watch of newspaper' adver-
tising. The people who com-
plain o'f these high costs but
never make any particular
study of the prices of house-
hold and personal necessities as
shown in the newspapers right
along are not showing ordinary
gumption.
They are about like the buy-
er of a business house who
should never take pains to r'ead
the trade journals and business
news that give the quotations
on the things he has to buy.
Such a porson would be consid-
ered very incompetent for his
job and he would make such
poor bargains for his house and
the goods ordered by him would
cost so much above what they
ought to cost that he could not
expect to hold his position.
And yet some of our folks
will keep buying .their1 house-
hold supplies without studying
the market for these articles
although they can get a great
deal of information by study-
ing the advertising in a news-
paper like The Tribune. These
folks are showing very little ef-
fficiency in their job as buyers.
They are not in any position to
complain if they can't save mon-
ey and if they find it diffluclt
to pay their bills.
By studying newspaper adver-
tising they will leam of special
opportunities to buy at advan-
tage they will get an idea which
stores are showing the greatest;
enterprise and they will obtain
general information that will
help them in their task as homo
buyers.
