e(|it.Orials are sound phiinsphy
rnd. '-Ttdfig sayings’’ have 'mor-
-ban once caused us to pause and
ask whether we were reading
George Bailey Faragraphorisms
or Judd Lewis’ “Tamperings” of
Houston Post fame.
The administration at Wash-
ington is searching for prece-
dents in order to determine how
far to go in protesting against
England's blockade of German
Ports. /Why search for prece-
dents, why not go ahead and
make one. Japan did not search
lor precedents when she attacked
the Russian crusjer in the har-
bor of Korea a neutral nation,
when it Was thought at the time
i.hat Russia was powerful enough
to make short work of Japan.
Neither did she stop to look for a
precedent when she declared war
on Germany and sent her army
and navy and drove Germany out
of China. This government in-
terfered in the Spanisb-Cub'an
war and drove Spain out of Cuba
without a precedent. We sent
our navy and army down to Vera
Cruz and took possession of the
place without a precedent. But
these were all weak nations and
there was little risk. But now,
when we run up against England,
a powerful nation., we must stop
and search for a precedent. §Ve
ask again, why not make a prec-
edent / We have bad two vrass
-with England and each time it
was a case of oppression. Eng-
land has never been a friend (o
this country and is not now only
m so far as she can use us.
Indications continue, to ..multi-
ply that Italy, and possibly Rou-
mania, Bulgaria and Greece,
with aggregate forces of ‘approx-
imately 8,500,000 men, may be
drawn to the support of the allies
in the eastern war zone. If this
Seoul i happen, Austria would
scarcely be able to continue the
struggle much further, for with
all the pounding that the czar's
armies have suffered, they are
apparently coming up with flesh
armies all along the battle lin\-~

Kutac Discusses Bond
Issue.
• I Ku ac, h pr ttiiin -nt farmer
of Road Di.sT.rie No 1, L < vac a
eouuiy was in Yoakum t day. Mr.
Kuimc believes the bend issu will

JOOibon s will be oy ■; :o, •>

Lie 1100 valuations.
Mr. Kutac say.- : “VV- Ho . regret-
ting the fact the ' hjner p ecincvt
was defeated, I am glad (:o saythis
will not; affect’our distr,clone paid
icle. Our people will go light ahead
and issue our bonds. You see our
proposition is a road .district and
not a whole precinct.
“I just want say one word to the
crowd of citizens in our district
who a"c talking special tax. Spec-
ial road tax has never b en found
practicable. It has always ierlilt-
ed in being squandered by the
County Commissioners. BeWitt
county had a road ttx and now
wants it repealed. The only way
to build a road' is by a bond issue.
Again, I went to remind them the
special road tax has to be installed
over the whole county, and our
preferred district would be paying-
taxes for ti e construction of roads
all over Lavaca County.
“Bond issue in a road district is
the only way to build a permanent
road. We can issue 150,003.00
bonds at an increase in taxation of
20 cents on the 1100 valuation, and
all of,our farmers prefer this way of
budding a road than the squander-
ing plan of a special 25-ccnt, tax
for the whole county.
“Again, I want to remind our
farmers- tifat w hen-weget ihe/bonds,
then we can. demand oi the Ciun-
missioffers7 Court to segregate the
loeerit road and bridge tax'that
we n~e n.,w pvying, red the money-
that* we are now paying, and the
money derived irern- ten taxable
vri.■ 11;e ions of our NArrq will be
spent in th-s road district.”—Yoa-

The Dam Tiling'' Ran„
(From 'J’he San -Marcos Record.)
More is a song that bids fair to
put Tipperary in the shade.
Author unknown and tune un-
recognizable, consisting mostly
of staccato., punctuated with rat-
tles and. tynpanny :
There was an old man and he bad
a wooden leg,
tie had no money and he Wouldn’t,
beg,
Ho had a piece of pipe and a
twelve-inch board.
And he said to himself, “I guess
I’ll build a Ford. ”
With a gallon of gas and' a quart
of oil,
And a small piece of wire to
make a coi),
Four great big spools and an old
tin-can,
lie hammered them together and
the dam thing ran.
