Comanche County Should Not Develop As The

Her fertile farms are offering a harvest
tan bounteous that only a Utopia could surpass it.
Her oil fields are calling for men who can do any
definite thing in any definite line and these fields
erffer wages and salaries such as surpass any in any
Other part of the state. Her farms an other indus-
tries are calling for labor with a demand that ean
anet be supplied and which offers wages higher than
a few of our business men dosed up tor the
casion of tk* fourth but those fyw felt so keenly
that we should so do that they closed up to their
own financial disadvantage in. order to remain
true to their convictions. There wilj be a fourth I
of July in' 1920 as’there has been in every year
since the beginning of time and the business people
ot Comanche should begin now to look forward to
the celebration of this the greatest day in all the
history in a fitting manner in 1920. The fourth
of July is the National Holiday of Our country
uitd let us not forget it another time.
The editor of the Sterling City News-Record, W.
F. Kellis, is a member of the Texas Legislature/
In his paper of the 20th of June he says; —
“We voted in the house to submit the ineasuye
and supported it at all the polls, but a majority Of
Texas voters said they did not want woman suf-
irage and we intend to respect the will of that
majority. To do otherwise, we would be setting
a dangerous precedent besides betraying the peo-
ple who trusted us to carry out their wishes. If
we voted to ratify the 18th amendment, we might
represent our own selfish desires and the wishes
of the minority, but we would be betraying a aa-*
cred trust and richly merit the contempt of all
honest men in doing so.. —
“We got our impression along this lipe early' in
life. When a majority of Texas voters-elected
Richard Coke as governor, and an undesirable mi-
nority lead by E. J. Davis, undertook the thwart
the will of this majority by holding the high office
so richly won by Coke and his majority, we remem-
ber the arming,and mounting in hafcte to go to
Austin snd there to shed the last drop of blood or
carry out the will of the majority that had so re-
cently spoken in no uncertain terms. |

July Fourth la The National Holiday Of Our
County, Yet Comanche’s business tfeople las a)
whole did not close up or in any way cOmmemarate
this memorable event. Think over it brother—is
this as it Miould be ? We have just emerged from

My of man could conceive, and did this to preserve
the principles for which our nation was founded.
Oar soldiers have just returned from overseas and

t spirit our soldiers went forth to do or die

to show that patriatism of which we so
boasted even by commemorating the mem
all the people. This government was not insti-
tuted for the special benefit of any one citisen
or group.
