‘“Caution,” we are not
backing all the Johnsons this
year. We want Mr. Jeffries to
take Mistah Johnson by the seat
of the pants and the scruff of
!the neck and .shake the life out
of .him. Then we want him to
swat him in the solar plexus, jab
him in the slats, biff him on the
niffers and lop him on the
jaws till he lookst. like he’d been
beat through hell with a soot

To use ff'Blang phraze, Teague
must be a good “proposition.”
We judge this from the super-
abundance of faith everybody
seems to have in her future.

does not fully believe that the

that she has Hardly started to'

when the opinion is shared by aj-

some consideration. We know

indorsement of the Chronicle,
for it is true, every word of it:.

small cities of Texas.

and sound common sense by re-
fusing to remove that school
from Georgetown to Dallas.
There was never any sound reas-
on given favorable to the remov-
al. It was only asserted that
Dallas wanted the school. It
will be a sad day for, Methodism
in Texas when it becomes the

Our mutual friend Mr. Roose-
velt will reach home tomorrow
after his rather spectacular hunt
in Africa and Europe* He killed
lions in the Dark Continent and
spanked kings and queens (no,
he didn’t, spank any queens, but
from the way he talked he want-
ed to,) in Europe, and it is diffi-
cult to decide which he enjoyed
.most. *■ We are sorry we can’t be
in Noo York to greet him, but
a pressure of business affairs and
trouble with our gasoline engine
compels us to forego the pleas-
ure of extending a personal how-
dy-do. He’ll regret our absence,
we know, but then even an ex-

Methodists must put up the coin
for their denominational schools,
fafr play demands that it be ope-
rated on a basis that will not tax
the resources of the membership
too severely. To waste half a
million dollars just to please Dal-
las would be too silly to contem-
plate, and the trustees acted
sensibly in refusing to do so.

LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT.
In his plea for local self-gov-
ermftant Candidate Colquitt as-
sumes a position that can not be
supported by logic: yet his sophis-
try is so cleverly phrazed that it
is likely to mislead unless it is
closely scrutinize®'. Expressed in
itsjsimplest form, .his contention
is that the doctrine^of local self-
government warrants to the peo-
ple of a community to govern
themselves in such manner as
may seeni to them best. If this
is true, then the people of a
community have ttie ”ntoral right'
to license evil- No thinking man
can accept that as sound govern-
mental policy.
The doctrine only holds good
wherein the principle of good
and evil is not paramount or vital1
take a long^ step forward; we a rtgluTo im-
pose a tax for local purposes, to
live stock from running
at large, to assume control of
their schools and similar-matters,
because these are purely ques-
tions of expediency and can not
affect the rights of one communi-
ty by their adoption by another.
On the other hand, no communi-
ty has the right to license evil in
any form.
Local self-government means
that a community may make its
own regulations of anything that
does not affect the moral welfare
of its citizens nor thp citizens of
another community. To make
the doctrine more comprehensive
than this is to make it an element
of danger instead of liberty and
local welfare.

in Life
A surface motorman awakened a, train
of thought not long ago when, he stopped
his car shortly at a crossing. There was
apparently no one there waiting to gel
on; a woman was standing on the curl
not even looking toward the moving car,
yet when the ear came to this corner the
motoririan brought it to a standstill and
sure enough the woman hurried out of
thi crowd and clambered aboard.
“How’d you know that woman wanted
to get on?” he was asked as the controller
. was- thrown on again and the car started

“Just felt it,” he laughed, “didn’t kpow it. A fellow’s affected that

The next stretch of rough
track ahead of us is July 4th,
About this time every year a lot
of namby-pamby galoots make
us.tremble in- our boots and make
us shed tears big as Elberta
peaches telling us of the direful
things that befall Young Ameri
ca in his hilarious celebration of
•our nation's birthday. These
goody-goody reformers make our
hook-worms tremble with their
milksop doctrine, and sometimes
the illustrator joins in the cru-
sade and draws pictures of urch-
ins with hands, feet, eyes, ears,
nose and everything else
brought to wreck and ruin by
the annual passage over this lit-
tle stretch of rough roadway.
It may be all right, but to our
way of thinking the job of sympa-
thy jncumbation is being worked
overtime. True enough many
arfi injured in this celebration,
but likewise it is true that many
are injured in all other celebra-
tions, and we can see in it no
good cause why we should not
celebrate the Gloribus Fourth in
a manner aa jolly as we may
choose. We don’t like this sugar-
coated creed that would make
our boys so inane and timid that
they would scream at the sound
of a firecracker and have a spasm

The patient knight of the motor voiced one of"the most hewildering
psychological truths found in the entire downtown propaganda, where
about every nip and tuck of the human habit,'"custom or peculiarity find*
a shining place. Taking metropolitan humanity aa a whole, there are
few. who do not use intuition in the course of the average workday.
A certain teller in a large Chicago bank recognizes intuition as a
faithful and valuable ally, one that can be put to good used, though one
that is not infallible. A “J. Rufus Wallingford” may stroll into this
man’s bank, toes a thousand dollar check over the counter in a blhse
manner and something may “tell” the teller that the check isn’t any good.
“I just feel it,” he explains this strange power of intuition.
• And the check may be turned down or, on the other hand, something
may “tell” the cashier that the man is good—he just feels it.
Scoffers are referred to the average policeman.
Does the city detective always kpow a crook when he plucks him out
of a downtown crowd, when the man’s back perhaps is turned to the offi-
cer of the law? . . ---
He feels that the shoulders and neck ahead of him—the head crowned
with a battered derby—is wanted.- ‘ Often he does not know the crook’s
name abd could not tell why he turrets him until the man is hauled back
to the station and his photo is found gracing the limelight in the rogues’
gallery some months or years back, tjbe intuition in a1 case of this sort
being extremely strong, as records prove amply.
