Office holding should be made less
of a game of chance and less of a
gift of charity from the people. Good

should be elected to each of the coun-

four year terms so that they would
not bo required to spend half their
earnings! in campaigning for re-election
and so that their full attention
could be given to the work of their of-
fices. Politics and elections consti-

people of Texas.

BROWSWOOD'S STREETS.
Brownwood people are always boast-
ing that their streets are the clean-
est the most beautiful .although the
most crooked . and altogether the
most desirable in the world. - Some
years ago the town won a prize be-
cause It graded higher than any oth-

it seems to the Bulletin thattlltpj
are too many campaign years; that
the terms of all the elective officers
are too short. This idea has been
propounded in times past by many
men and newspapers but. as yet no
step has been taken to remedy the
evil growing out of the present elec-
tion system. The democrats in their
last national platform apparently
made an attempt to start the ball
Toiling in the right direction but
already this plank has been refuted.
It provided that the president should
be -elected for a term of six years
and could not be eligible for two
-terms. President. Wilson will agrin
be a candidate and the Democrits
hate made no effort to change he
length of the presidential term t

Roosevelt says the foreign policy of
the United States is dishonorable.
But there are many persons who re-
member that charges of dishonor
were made In connection with Roose
velt's acquisition of the Panama canal
territory from Colombia. Very few
of us can afford to throw stones.

There has been somo mistake.

Brownwood have for a long time

THE AMERICAS FARMER
Hon. Cyclone Davis has favored
the Bulletin with a copy of his first
speech in Con gross the now famous
address which was finished' with a
Whirlwind of flying arms and chin
whiskers and poetry. The speech
was sent under the Congressman's
re f frank and was contained in an. envel-
not .as poignantly interesting as are
the affairs of our home county. Two
years ago men were duly elected to
fill all the offices of the county fcjAm
the. precinct office to the highest sal-
aried position within the gift of
Brown county people. It is the ens-
tonf in Texas to . grant office holders
two terms unless 'they prove them-
selves unfit and unworthy. Many
men support a governor In his. face
n Pcond term notwithstanding
AWft - f
they opposed him. bitterly during 'his

IlrbL &uiya.itu.
second term" they say. The. same
rule applies In county politics. Aft-
' er a man has held a given office .two
terms he is expected to step down and
"out and allow another citizen to take
the place. Why then require all the
machinery of expensive campaigns land
elections every two years when It is
.expected that each man elected will
he "given two terms If he proves
worthy? 1
As a matter of fact an executive
officer can accomplish very little In
the narrow space of a two.-year tnrm.
No Texas governor has over : boon
able touring his policies into smooth
operation during his first term of' of
fice. In county affairs the same con
dition exists. Aside from this fact
it Is well known that the expense of
campaigning even for a county office
is" well nigh prohibitive. If the .can-
didate values his time he can not
make a race for any of the- important
county ;off ices without sacrificing five
or six hundred dollars half a year's
aalaTy. After election It is but hu-
an nature for tho county officers to
ope on which was printed the follow
luHnm from the sacc of

"Tho farmer has been the pa-
tient burden bearer all these years.

"The Democratic Party is com-
mitted to an asset currency and
has given the commercial man

ernment bound by law to an al-

"What our millions of patient
and long-suffering farmers want

The state fire insurance commission
In its second annual report calls on
all civic and . commercial organiza-
tions and good citizens in ' general
to second its efforts to eliminate pre-
ventable fires and urges the passage
and enforcement of municipal ordi-
nances forbidding the accumulation
of fire producing rubbish on business
or other premises. It ought not to
be necessary for the commission to
address the public more than once
on these subjects. But tho average
citizen is incorrigibly careless in the
disposition of inflamable material
and apparently obedient only to the
promptings of costly experience when
it comes to taking the simplest steps
to guard against loss to himself and
to his neighbors by fire. Beaumont
Enterprise.
Fire like disease is easily pre-
vented; but like disease is destruc-
tive when neglected. The people of
Texas should heed the warnings sent
out from the office of the fire in-
surance commission and take a
pride in reducing tho percentage of
preventable fire losses in Texas.

The Cotton Snpply.
If the. cotton farmers fall to in-
volve the national government in an
effort to export cotton regardless of
consequences' the next step should be
to keep production down lo the ap
parent practlcab demand for the sta
ple. The acreage should not be in-
creased as such a procedure would
bring future lo38 to the cotton grow-
ers. Let the supply be adjusted to the
domand. Temple Telegram.
There are three Important things
to romember when considering the
cotton situation; supply demand
price. These three things aro inter-
dependent and their sum total is al-
ways the same no matter how any
enfr of the three may vary. If the
domand is to be a given number of
bales then the supply and the price
are dependent upon each other -If
the supply is a given number of. bales
then the demand governs- the price.
If the price is to be a certain sum
then the supply must be made to con-
j form to the demand. Farmers should
remember this little bit of informa-
tion arid count their acres carefully
before planting them to cotton this
spring. '

- THE PARSONS COLUMN

- "A Thing of Shreds and -
Patches." -
In the last issue of The Atlantic
Monthly there Is a series of letters
written by an English officer who re-
signed on the very eve of promotion
for tho simple reason that he could
not bear to see and do the things
which he must see and do In war.
Not mind you for fear of suffering
what may happen by the chance of
war but because his very soul is
sickened by the horrors of it. And
if any one has any great desire to
enter upon a war the Parson recom-
mends a perusal of these letters for
tho genuineness of which the Atlan
tic pledges Itself. And yet there is a
worse thing than fighting. It Is to
have nothing under heaven that is
worth fighting for; to have nothing
of which one will say "This is mine.
and I will keep it or die." Or "This Is
God's Justice and I will see it done If
it costs money wounds and life."
The Parson was asked the other
day what his opinion on "prepared-
ness" was. It Is Just as well to define
what one means by preparedness. If
It means the getting together of a
great force always under arms' the
creation of a military caste withall
that belongs to that the development
of professional fighters whose one
chance of distinction and promotion
lies in war then the Parson Is most
emphatically again3t It. But he' does
not understand that any one wants to
do that He believes that the estab-
lishment ef an international court to
decide disputes between nations with
sufficient force behind it to make its
decrees good is a thing for which all
Intelligent and justice-loving people
should strive. But the prospects of
this are at present very vague. Mean-
while whether we shall fight or not
does not lie with us. There are suffi
cient causes of dispute with any ono
of the nations now at war to make
the maintenance of peace difficult
President Wilson is telling us. day
by day that we stand on the verge of
a conflagration from which at any
time a spark may fly which will set
us also on fire. It Is not wise to wait
till that spark come to get ready our
flre-flghting apparatus and to train
the men to use it So while he thinks
that the proposals of the administra
tion are not adequate the Parson
hopes they will be carried through
and that they will be carried through
as the minimum.
