6,000 HERE FOR
RUSSELL RALLY
An estimated 6,000 persons, not
only from Stephenville and Erath
County, but from various parts
of the Seventeenth Congressional
District, were here Friday night
for the closing political rally giv-
en for Sam Russell, successful
candidate for Congressman from
this district.
A platform was built on the
east side of the courthouse lawn
for the speakers and entertain-
ers, the latter group being com-
posed of members of the Jack Am-
lung Crazy Water Gang from Min-
eral Wells. The square and. ad-
joining side streets, were literally
jammed with cars here for the
rally.
Hal Collins, president of the
Crazy Water Crystals Company,
served as master of ceremonies
and, on several occasions, said
“Sam Russell is already under
the wire." Collins introduced Tom
White of Hamilton, Fred Jay of
Del/eon and Judge John Birdwell
of Palo Pinto, .each of whom , pre-
dicted a big majority for Russell
in his respective county.
Collins then introduced Judge
Russell, who spoke to “the home-
folks” again in the interest of his
candidacy for Congress from the
Seventeenth District.
Amlung Presented Program
Jack Amlung and his Crazy Wa-
ter Gang presented a program,
ns wns done in other places in the
district where Russell spoke dur-
ing the second primary campaign.
Collins made It plain to the au-
dience that no remuneration was
asked or received for the appear-
ance of the orchestra at any of
these places. He said he did it“be-
cause he wanted to see Sam Rus-
sell go to Congress.”
Conrad Brady, familiar radio
master of ceremonies for the Crazy
Water Gang, introduced each mem-
ber of the orchestra, "musically.”
Miss Billie Jack Stephens, of Ste-
phenville, sang “I Cried for You.”
The “Washboard Swingsters” play-
ed, followed by songs by Loralne,
the cowgirl yodeler with the Gang.
This ended the part of the. pro-
gram broadcast over KFiyL, Dub-'
lin radio station and paid for by
friends of Judge Russell, but the
entertainment continued and was
concluded with an nppearance of
Sugar Cane and February, popu-
lar comic team heard over the
broadcasts by the Crazy Water
Gang.

The West Remained Wild So
Long As Everybody Was
Afraid to Offend Bad Men
BY ROBERT QUILLEN
The Japanese are making de-
termined effort to drive out Eng-
lish and American citizens. They
arc jailing and abusing English-
men in Japan. They have notified
Americans to quit Japanese-occu-
pied portions of China. They have
announced that foreign teachers
will be dismissed.
All of this is supposed to serve
Hitler by keeping our attention
fixed on Asia and thus lessening
apy temptation we might feel to
help England.
Whatever the reason may be, it
is clear that Japan’s leaders are
boldly doing the things they con-
sider necessary to the welfare of
their country ,without regard for
the opinions or interests of foreign-
ers.
Are we less intelligent, less pat-'
riotic and less courageous than the
Japanese?
It is common knowledge that
over 200 - Japanese fishing boats,
manned by naval reservists aftd
subsidized by Japan, operate from
California ports. These are 120-
foot, high-powered boats with two-
way radio, designed to be quick-
ly and easily transformed into
mine layers and torpedo boats.
The simplest layman can un-
derstand what these boats could
do to American shipping if war
came.
Why, then, are they permitted
to operate in American waters?
They could be disposed of easily
by means of a simple law requir-
ing the operators to be American
citizens.
Japan would solve the problem
that way. Can’t we be as sensible
and courageous in protecting the
interests of our country?
Consider the matter of compul-
sory military training. Other coun-
tries, finding it necessary, adopt-
ed it many years ago. Our high-
est Army officers say it is neces-
sary to our safety.
Yet many of opr leader;; op-
posc it—not because they think
it unnecessary; not on the ground
that our country can be made safe
without it; but on the pretext that
it violates liberty or is unfair.
In short, they are playing poli-
tics. They are afraid of losing votes
if they support it, or they hope to
gain votes by opposing it.
Consider the matter of Com-
munism .The Communist party is
riv.*ii place on our official nation-
al ballot. Would any other coun-
try grant such a privilege to a
group serving a foreign power?
Would any other country permit
members of such a group to hold
key positions in the national gov-
ernment? What strange power
have the Communists, that our
officials and other leaders are
afraid to offend them?
There is something rotten some-
where. Is it in our national char-
acter? Have we alone, of all great
nations, become too timid and
shortsighted and pusillanimous to
act boldly in defense of our coun-
try?

A k
Santa Fe
’R WJ
On Santa Fe system lines are hundreds of com-
munities ranging in size and importance from the
smallest village to the second ranking city of the
nation. Whether small or large they share proportion-
ately in the distribution and effect of the Santa Fe’s
annual payroll of $75,765,141.00.
This enormous payroll is distributed to 40,000
employees along the railroad’s far-flung system. These
employees are the constant and dependable patrons
of all lines of business, industry and human endeavor.
They spend their money where it is earned with the
dry goods dealer, druggist, doctor, dentist and those
other sundry professions. The active interest of these
men and their families penetrates into all departments
of community life, the schools, churches, civic activi-
ties. chanty and those things which go to make up their
home town They play this part because of their em-
ployment and their ability to earn an adequate wage.
45.95 percent of Santa Fe earnings—money de-
rived from handling freight and passenger traffic—
dunng the past year went for the payment of salaries
and wages over its system lines. This money not only
gave life to local business, but had a far more reaching
effect It gave stimulus to national business condi-
tions, and will continue to do so in the measure made
possible by the patronage the railroad continues to
receive from the public.
