THE TYLER JOURNAL
JUNE I, 1928
One observer says if you want to
keep a secret, have it printed in the
Congressional Record.
What's wrong with this sentence:
His wife got angry and accused him
of extravagance when be urged her
to buy herself a new hat.
If you would learn wisdom, marry
and tough it out. That is, stick to
your first choice if possible and get
some deep knowledge of life.
Those persons who imagine that
they can find out how to live and
how to understand the strange hid-
den secrets of the heart or how to
find happiness by marrying frequent-
ly, are tragically mistaken. In the
end they do not know half as much
as the woman who sticks to her man
and rides through the storms of ma-
trimony like a stout ship rides thru
angry seas. When she finally docks
we may, like the ship, be battered,
but both will have a knowledge of the
deeps that is never acquired by either
the boat or the person who skims
only over smooth waters.
It’s a funny thing — our attitude
toward marriage. We admire tre-
mendously courage and tenacity of
purpose when applied to everything
else but matrimony. We scorn the
man who throws up his hands and
abandons his job at the first signs of
difficulty. We believe in being her
roic and strong under all conditions
except the marital union.
And we know, too, that the person
who is too cowardly to take the bit-
ter with the sweet is he who will
never gain either success of happi-
ness. How, then, do we expect the
most intimate relation into which we
ever enter to be managed by any
other rule And yet we do.
We marry and we desire-Jigppiness.
Yet we do not use the simplest rules
of common sense with husband or
wife. We are so childish that we pro-
fess to believe that the mere fact of
getting married will guarantee a
successful existence and a harmon-
ious companionship. We don’t work
to making {he thing a go, although
we slave and sweat that everything
else we undertake may come out well.
Instead, at the first faint trace of
trouble, we rush to the divorce court
and presently pick out somebody else
and go through the same puerile per-
formance. Is it any wonder that mar-
riage is suffering so much in this
country when you consider that we
bring less common sense to it than
to any other effort of our lives?
Mrs. Walter Ferguson, in Houston
Press.
Magazine writer says the automo-
bile is helping make the horse unpop-
ular- Yes, but it's helping make the
whjte mule more popular than ever.
One of the speakers at the demo-
cratic convention in Beaumont came
near losing his scalp when he said:
"It used to be that women wore their
skirts long enough to hide their in-
steps, but now they don’t wear them
long enough to hide their step-ins.”
It is hard to understand just why
the moving picture shows persist in
showing World War films when
nearly everybody else is trying to
forget war. It looks like inconsist-
ency to feed the public on war pic-
tures when public sentiment is di-
rected toward world peace.
While the Chamber of Commerce is
planning big things and then planning
to put them over, it ought not to
lose sight of some of the little ur-
gent services that it ought to give its
attention to. For example, Tyler’s
mail facilities since the curtailment
of her railway train service under the
urgent necessity of bus competition
have greatly depreciated in value.
There isn’t anybody to blame for this
state of things—and we don’t want
anybody to jump to the conclusion
that we are knocking. We are not;
but we have got to adjust and read-
just ourselves to status of communi-
cation that nobody could have ftft-e-
seen ten years ago. You’d be surpris-
ed to know what it is costing some
business concerns, this infrequency
and- inadequacy of mail service.
WATCH OUT FOR THAT
REBELLION-
UNEMPLOYED
"T
There are three million unemploy-
ed, three million men and maybe more
they find this life an aching void,
their eyes are sad, their hearts are
sore. There are no paying days for
this host, no pies are on the groaning
board; the week-day stew the Sun-
day roast—such luxuries they can’t
afford. The landlords come to many
shacks and sternly there demand the
rent and they are told, with sad
slacks, the tenants cannot pay a cent.
How much of grief and carking care,
how much of double-action woev how
much privation and despair thd leg-
ions of the jobless know! "Oh, give

Isn’t selfishness robbing you of en-
joyment you should have?
The desire to get more than that to
which you are entitled makes you dis-
satisfied with many otherwise good
bargains.
The desire to have or to gain more
than those around you are in posses-
sion of, or are getting, makes you
grasping.
You can not view your own things
with pleasure because you want to
match up with something better than
you have seen.
You are even unfair, because you
don’t care what the other fellow loses
just so that you get what you want
Everlastingly reaching for what you
should not have has made you many
enemies.

is a yearning toward all the wonder
and beauty of a newly discovered uni-
verse. Suddenly the soul, which has,
through infancy, slept softly, coiled
within itself, arouses—stretches—be-
holds with a delicious amazement the
world about it—feels with a trembling
delight the forces at work within it-
self—then with a fierce, unreasoning
hunger, reaches out toward this vast,
new treasure which seems centered in
another young, laughing face.
And wwe say, "Eddie is gone on lit-
tle Mary.”
But Eddie isn’t gone on Mary. Ed-
die’s gone on life, on beaut/, on cour-
age and romance and adventure add
honor—and God.
And all Eddie’s adult attitude is
going to be colored by the happiness
or misery of this fiiet spell of “puppy
love.”
Turn back the leaves of your own
life, pal. Do you remember that first,
enchanted summer when you used to
creep along in the shadow of the hedge
late at night, to look at the light of
her window? Or, being older, per-
haps, you read Omar Khayyam, to-
gether, very solemnly and decided that
you were fatalists. Those immense
talks you had together—those soul-
searching disputes. The walks you
took, when all the world seemed wrap-
ped in a white, dazzling web that set
you dizzy—groping with your heart.
The nights when for the first time you
really saw the stars spilling like gold-
en fruit from out a purple bowl. The
first half frightened kiss—
Did "puppy love” come beautifully
to you, like that?
Or did it come in q sadder, uglier
way? Furtively, with savage hunger
that poisoned and bewildered you—
However it came, it has left its
mark on your character which will
never be erased. That was your first
contact with life—your first glimpse
of God. It was a stormy glimpse, be-
cause all of your nature was in riot.
Spring at the flood. Your future
world wbb shaping out of that chaos.
Evbr since you have been better—or
worse—for that experience.
Remember that when you see your
youngster grow starry-eyed and self-
conscious. They, too, are waking, en-
tering into their storm. Remember
how you needed sympathy. Remem-
ber how hideously each jeering word
hurt. Remember how bewildered you
were—how you suffered from a feel-
ing of inferiority—and yet what ex-
quisite visions troubled your darkness.
Remember, and be gentle and rever-
ent. Your children, now, are listening
to God. He Is shaping a world in
their young chaos. — Elsie Robinson
in Houston Chronicle.
It looks like one faction of Texas
democracy cannot be convinced that
there is no harm in the harmony pro-
gram.
The trouble with most of us is
that writing checks, checks our pro-
gress.
Webster defined convention as a
“general agreement.” If he could at-
tend some of our present-day political
conventions, he probably would write
out a new definition.
Public ignorance is one of the
greatest evils our government has to
meet. Public education is one of the
greatest factors for the welfare and
greatness of our nation.—McKinney

Enormous forces are involved in that
first waking of desire—tremendous
things happen, things which may bless
.or blight the future life.
First love m more than a yearn-
ing toward another personality — it
Surely the most admirable of her
kind is the homely woman who is so
interested in her work and life that
she is content to let nature alone so
far as she is concerned.
If you belong to the working sex,
one of the most tiresome things with
which you must deal is the notion
that all plain women can be made
beautiful with special massages.
Where this idea came from, heaven
only knows. The fairy tale of Cin-
derella, perhaps, was reborn in the
bradn of one of our high-powered
salesmen. Anyway, we meet it
wherever we go.
The homely girl of the story who
always has, however, if you will no-
tice carefully, a marvelous pair of
eyes, skin like a rose leaf, and teeth
of pearl, occupies the background be
cause she wears a gingham gown.
Then there is the meek wife whose
husband is about to leave her. All
she needs do, according to the fic-
tionist, is to become rebellious, fluff
out her hair a little more at the sides,
buy a new dress and some lipstick.
Then when the Joneses come over
next evening, Mr. Jones falls in love
with her.
The whole idea is a fairy tale, told
and retold. Then come our clothes.
How ceasless is that subject! One is
often tempted to wish that we had on-
ly the skins of animals to drape our-
selves with, only. I suppose, being
women, we should all be out after
some particular kind of skin.
This struggle for smartnesB and
good looks has become a plague and
a scourge. Because it is always in-
ferred that charming the men should
be our main occupation in life.
And don’t you often feel that you
don’t care a darn whether the men
were ever charmed or not?
If we could only, like the men, be
homely and dowdy in peace and do
something besides agonize over cloth-
es, but We can’t. There are so many
hundreds of ways for us to keep our
JlQOTfiJeyifiP8*. ta mim fine icirth. and
to henna our hair, and so many per-
sons telling us about them, that we
have become slaves of an idea. The
idea that the chief duty of woman is
to do about two-thirds of the work,
bring up children and look perfectly
stunning all the time. One can only
prny that in heaven the styles In
White Robes will never change. -Mrs.
Walter Ferguson in Houston Press. :
Edith Johnson, in the Houston Post
Dispatch, says that one generation of
mothers could put an end, practically,
to serious domestic discord, divorce,
broken homes, abandoned children.
“By training their sons to be good
husbands and their daughters to be
wives, they could make this world a
near-Eden.
“Ninety-five per cent of the quar-
eling and bickering among the mar-
ried could be eliminated by education
in childhood and adolescence. Mothers
could prevent more disappointment
and misery in domestic relations than
courts and divorce judges ever can
cure.”
Her suggestion is that mother
should rear her daughter to be the
kind of a woman she would like to
have her son’s wife be and that
mother should rear her son to be the
kind of a man that she would want
her daughter to have for a husband.
To this should be added the further
observation that these same mothers
who are really and truly the conserv-
ators of morality should see to it that
the teachers of their children both
men and women should be people who
entertain wholesome views regarding
marriage and the obligations it en-
tails.
That mother of a family who prop-
erly rears her sons and daughters is
a person truly great.—Texas Out-
look fo^ April.
FARM WIVES HAVE NOTHING
MUCH TO DO-NO OCCUPATION
RICHES DO NOT ALWAYS SPELL
i HAPPINESS
You are tempted to envy the people
you see riding around in beautiful,
large cars and who bear other evi-
dence of prosperity, but before you
do, study their, faces.
You will be surprised at the few
happy faces you see.
The few who indicate any real
pleasure in life.
The many who look and act bored.
To them there is nothing unusual
in the luxuries they possess.
Able to gratify most of their'wish-
es, they have little to anicipate.
One day means little more than an-
other.
They don’t have to save and plan,
and they miss the joy of looking for-
ward to something they want to pos-
sess and must work to get.
Your sphere may be a small one,
your circle limited as to friends, your
ability to afford pleasure scant, but
you really gain much that brings hap-
piness,-
If you had more you might not be
nearly so happy.
And isn’t happiness a priceless pos-
session ?—Houston Chronicle. :
WHAT IS SUCCESS ?
Its doing your best in whatever you
do,
It’s being honest and fair, just and
true,
It’s forging ahead, true aims and
ends,
Ft’s being stanch, but keeping sweet,
It’s being determined, denying defeat,
It’s learning how and thinking high,
Its going forward and learning why,
It’s playing a little, but doing much,
It’s being receptive and keeping in
touch
With all that is finest in word and
deed.
LY
It’s being a Samaritan to those in
need,
It’s facing failure with a will to
dare,
To laugh even pleasantly at Dame
Despair.
It’s learning the meaning of
and Life,
It’s being a guidepost in this world
of strife,
It’s sharing happiness, sorrow and
loss,
Love
It’s having confidence, knowing gold
from droBs,
It’s playing life's tgam^ with steady
harfds,
Its working and winning, making
just demands,
It’s unselfish service, it’s striving
and stress,
It’s doing God’s noblest — That is
Success.
Pauline Dempsey.
The farmer's wife at earl/ dawn
Gets up and calls the men;
Site bathes the baby, makes the beds
And goes and sets the hen;
She milks a half dozen cows,
And helps to dig the spuds;
She does the washing, cooks the
food
And sews the family duds;
She plants the garden, pulls the
weeds, *
Tends to the ducks and geese;
She makes the butter, sells the
eggs—
In winter fries out grease;
Fruits to pick in summertime
And vegetables to dry;
And in the Fall the meats to cure
And pumpkins, too, for pie.
She goes to town on Saturday
For a little recreation—
She’s then put down in the census
book
As having no occupation.—Mrs. C.
D. Kelly in “Texas Federated
Women’s Clubs.”
When a monkey is sick it puts its
fingers down*its throat and out comes
the offending food. It does not eat
again for a long time, not until the
empty stomach has rested and calls
naturally for nourishment. When a
cow has a pain of a complaining
stomach she stops eating, but when
man has a similar complaint, he must
have teaB and pills and delicate hasty
concoctions to add to the insult of
the pain of an overstretched stomach.
Thus the monkey and the cow and per-
haps all other creatures have a more
intelligent understanding of stomach
use and abuse than the biped who
claims to be the lord of all creation.
The Beaumont state convention
turned out pretty well. It was a hot
one, full «f excitement due to the
clash and conflict of opinions, pur-
poses and desires. Some of those who
didn’t or couldn’t get out of the way
of the so-called “steam roller” are
still sour—and some are “beefing”
about the perfidy and the inconsist-
ency of this leader or that. Oh well,
it is all in a day. Dan Moody steered
a straight course. Cone Johnson did
the same. As we see the situation
these two leaders stood up and fought
for the things they deemed most nec-
essary to be done in order that faith
might be kept with the people. Dan
Moody's fight down at Beaumont will
continue to endear him to the people
of Texas long after his detractors
have been forgotten. As to Cone John-
son, veteran of many political bat-
tle»i we have not always agreed with
him — but we have never seen the
time when we doubted his honesty
and sincerity. What people may say
in derision or disparagement of Cone
Johnson will affect his towering
character about as much a child’s
blowing of Jackbeans against Wash-
ington Monument would tend tc over-
turn it. :
