I The right of suffrage becomes ai grave
"'; responsibility when it is assumed by

a responsibility thati can be discharg-
ed properly only by thoughtful par-
I ticipation in the election. Every vot-

next Tuesday affiliating with what-
ever party he or she may choose and

" I 3ut in Texas it is especially Im-

This is known far and wide as the

J n
Tuesday. The banner Democratic

circumstances. The edict of jTexss
Democracy should be stated emphat-
ically by a record-breaking majority.
7 The national campaign is one in-
volving the most serious issues ever
placed before the American .people
and the state of Texas has an oppor-
tunity to coyer itself with glory by
participating whole-heartedly 'fa the

NEW; TELEPHONE
HAS MANY POINTS OF INTEREST
The new directory of the West Texas
Telephone Company is just out. The
-directory contains sixty-two pages and
aT)out lS25iiames. The matter of con-
piling the names and data necessary
to ge outfa telephone director even
in a town the size of Brownwood is a
task of no small proportions and when
applied to a city the size of Dallas and
Houston where there are from 12.000
to 30000 telephones in use the work
assumes gigantic proportions.
The companies of the -big cities be-
fore the advent of the world war usu-
ally issued not less than three and
often four directories every year. One
of the departments kept a force of
clerks busy ail the time preparing
copy for the next directory and this
department received and recorded
changes In names and other things
necessary to the completion qf the
directory.
.Some curious things happen in con
nection with the telephone directory1
uiai .migui .De inenuoneu. rne letters
of the alphabet show some interesting
features. 'There are 69 names in the
directory (beginning with A; 176 with
B; 142 with C; 77 with D; 67 with E;
57 'with F; 08 with G; 161 with H; 4
With 1; 62 with J; 43 with K; 73 with
L; lS6.with M; 36 with N; 13 with O;
87 with P; none with Q; 70 with R;
177 with S; 71 With T; 3 with U: 5
with V; 127 with W; 10 with Y; none
with X non Z.
The largest number of names begins
with 31 and the smallest number "with
IT. It was remarked in this connection
that the people of 'Brownwood had just
about left Big I and little U out of
the" directory. Smith and Jones as
usual are in the race for the largest
number "of names. Smith winning iyy
just one having 2l names to 20 for
Jones. Johnson ties Jones with 0.
As a matter of fact every telephone
directory published in Texas has a
predominance of the names mentioned
and the names of Smith and Jones -al
ways lead. The United Slates has miv-
er had :i president by the nanif of
Smith or Jones but the mothers of
two presidents of the United States
bore that name. The maiden name of
the mother or James Monroe was
Elizabeth Jones while that of the
mother of John Quincy Adams was
Abigail' Smith.
The telephone business is one of lead-
ing enterprises always of. the locality
in which it is located and this can be
well ?aid of the; West Texas Tele-
phone Company at Brownwood. It
touches more people than all other in-
dustries .because it enters into every
phase of civil life. The homo the
office the factor the farm all alike
arp in direct touch with this great
center of intelligence and useful ser
vice that Is required day and night.
Men may come and men may qo but
the telephone exchargo mus. be kept
open forever. It is one of the perrm-
nent assets of the community and
grows as the community grows of.en

especially the telephone has really
been one of pioneers of civilization.

ALL-EMBRACING LOVE
OF GOD THEME FOR
A1'P HAL 3IADK FOB CHRISTIAN
LOYK AND WORK IN EXTEN-
SION OF KIXKD0J1.
The all-ombracing love of God was
chosen as his -theme last night by
Evangelist W. II. Matthews at the
First Presbyterian church and his
message was received with interest by .
nn .iiiriicnce of about one hundred)
persons. The aunress was cnaraciur-
Ized by the same note of deep earnest-
ness which has been so noticeable in
. - .... t l
all the messages dolivered here by
Mr. Matthews and made a deep im-
pression upon all his hearers.
God's love for mankind is of the
boundless character Mr. Matthews
said. It goes into the hearts of men
and causes them to love each other
and true love Is always accompanied
by a desire to do something for some-
one. God's love is bigger and great-
er and more wonderful than any hu-
man love can be the speaker said
and is the pattern for all the mother
love and the father love of the world.
Yet just as mother love and father
love yearns for a response from the
objects or its love so uoa s love yearns j
for a response from His children and i
. i x
rejoices wuen mere is evidence uiul .
men and women appreciate His love
and want to carry it fo those who are
out of touch with God and His king-
dom. Addressed principally to mem-
bers of the church since the audience
was composed principally of repre
sentatives of the various congrega-
tions of the city the message gave a
clearer vision of God and His church j.
and brought to each hearer a more
intimate realization of the marvelous t
wonders of God's love to His people !
on earth.'

Reverend J.. Herbert Cope represen-
tative of thp Baptist Foreign Mission
Society at Haka
"This year- a lively discussion grew
out of the resolution that selling of
daughters cease" the report contin
I lied. "The custom has grown into an
iiibuse. Men are demanding more and
more until a young chap who mnr-
ries goes frightfully into debt wh.'ch
he is years liquidating. And if while
paying slowly for his wife the hus-
band incurs the anger of her father
the daughter is promptly called home
and in some cases sold to another
man.' We have been trying to get
them to reduce the charges."
Efforts to induce the. natives to
follow the customs of white men are
being made in educational institutions
: opened in these districts as a result
t of the New World Movement of
Northern Baptists Drf Cope said.
