The late decision of the higher
court in the Hico local option
cases has brought about a great
complication in saloon matters
over there, When the last elec-
tion held was declared void, the
commisoioners court, on a writ
of mandamus from Judge Lind-
sey, declared the result of the
former election when prohibition
carried, and as soon as the nec-
essary proclamation is published
Hico will be under prohibition
unless the courts decide that elec-
tion to be illegal and void. But
two applications for saloon li-
censes were filed from Hico, un-
der the new law, and no objec-
tion was raised to same, so the
county judge approved the ap-
plications. The law says how-
ever that no license shall be is-
sued by any country for the sale
of whiskey in prohibition terri-
tory. So there you are. Just

A Prodigal Father.
Twenty years ago Thomas
George disappeared from his
home in Kansas, leaving a wife
and six children. Paul Geosge.
one of the sons, is now a ranch
owner in Nebraska. Six months
ago he hired a trampish looking
man as a sort of servant. A
few days ago he found the man
was his father. The old man
says he left home becaus he had
not been succesful and did not
want to be a burden to his fam-
ily. In this case the story of the
prodigal son, is reversed, and the
prodigal father is looking after
the fat calves of the thrifty son.

The press association through-
out the country are more and
more discussing the methods of
making the business more profit-
able. Higher prices for labor,
machinery, buildings, paper and
every item that goes into the
make up of a paper is forcing
this. Many papers have been
very liberal in dealing with the
public, so much so that the busi-
ness has not as a whale been re-
garded as a profitable one. For
sometime past’the best papers
have made it a rule to charge for
all notices, the purpose of which
is to make money from the notice,
but in spite of this they have
been worked to a finish in many
localaties. Church societies have
thought that because they were
engaged in a religious work they
should have free notices, though
they have not stopped to consider
that the preacher who leads their
services must have his pay, and
that the publisher not only has
to make his living from his paper
but has to pay out money for
everything that is connected with
the publication of such notices.
Cornivals and street fairs, be-
cause they are of a semi-public
character, have often demanded
and sometimes received, free
notices from the papers, while
every one else connected with
them has demanded pay for ser-
vices. The very papers that
have been most liberal with these 1
notices have often been rewarded
by seeing what little job printing
they have done given to some
little job office that has never
aided one bit in such enterprises.
New firms or enterprises loca-
ting in a town often given colums
of free notices after which they
send abroad for every bit of sta-
tionery used,
paper so small

every year in
often, too, when the publisher is
hard pressed to meet the expen-
ses. The larger papers have ;
been donating space by the thou-
sands of dollars. Most of them
decided to stop such liberal pro-
digality and to get down to busi-
ness. They have had themselv-
es to blame that they have not
done so before. Every man
that gets a notice from a paper
that is helpful to him in a busi-
ness way ought to be willing to
pay for it just as he pays for
everything else that Is for his
benefit. Because he patronizes
a paper to the extent of a sub-
scription, or an advertising card,
or an occasional bit of job print-
ing he should not expect to be
