of Aubrey; Several Exposures
“The wrist watch is becoming one of
the national issues, and we find oursel-
ves on the side of the conservatives,
who believe it is more ornamental than
useful."—Brownwood Bulletin.
The reception of the wrist watch by
the "conservatives” is typical of that
party. Men are so much more sensitive
to possible ridicule than women that
they will go miles to denounce a thing
that is perfectly sensible. What could
be handier than a timepiece within in-
stant's reach, as compared with one that
at times, particularly in cold weather
when there are buttoned up top coats
and awkard gloves to be reckoned with,
Is bothersome to get at? Women in-,
stantly approved the wrist watch, al-
though some of them are worn higher
up on the arm under the sleeve. They
could scarcely be called ornaments, but
they certainly would be useful .and
handy.

and citizens may be surprised to hear
him talking for the saloon, but deep
down, hidden from view’, is hia love
for the drink. Then the man engaged
in the business of selling the liquors
wants to keep it fqr personal gain A
third Is the believer in high tariff li-
cense regulating it. The fourth class
is the politician who wants a part of
the money circulated by the saloon
people to prevent the abolishing of the
saloon."
The speaker said the high tariff li-
cense whs fundamentally against the
democratic form of government and
brought two charges against the traffic.
He said it interferes with our Industry
and commerce. The government is for
the protection of the people and for
harmony and we must destroy liquor
or it will destroy our government." The
second charge I bring against the traf-
fic in liquor is that the tariff license
is a violation of the law of the peo-
ple."
The speaker characterized the pass-
ing of the interstate shipment law as
one of the greatest victories for the
league in its history. In six months
after the passage of the law’ nine states
had voted out liquor and ten hive vot-
ed it out since, while it had required
fifty years since Lincoln's day for eight
states to vote out the traffic.
“We are now getting ready for an-
other statewide election in Texas," said
the speaker, "and when It Is called we
will be ready to mak a hard fight for
it. The Germans have shown what be-
ing prepared means, and we Intend to
follow their example and be prepared
for a victory."
The two speeches on the courthouse
lawn Sunday afternoon closed a field
day that was most successful in Den-
ton Sunday- The afternoon lectures
were heard by a.<ood crowd and large
crowds attended the addresses made at
ii o'clock Sunday morning when Rev.
W. J. Herwig spoke at the Methodist
church, Rev. G. W. Benn at the Pres-
byterian church, and Rev. Dr. Bartog at
the Baptist church. Rev. Atticus Webb
made an announcement at the Central
Presbyterian church of the speaking
for the afternoon.
In his .explanation as to why he was
lecturing for the Anti-Saloon League,
ex-Govemor George H. Hodges of Kan-
sas, who made the principal address
on the program of the Anti-Saioon
League field day here Sunday, said that
the fiumber of falsehoods that had been
told about prohibition in Kansas had
induced him to take up the work to tell
the people
ditions as
and as he
Connection
pie as governor of the state. He said'
Kansas was joining hands with the
Southern states to make the nation a
sober nation, and that in the North the
Democrats are said to be the main force
fighting for liquor and the Republicans
are the prohibitionists, but that in the
South the parties are reversed and the
Democratic party is leading the fight to
abolish the liquor traffic and the Re-
publican party is fighting for the traf-
fic. ,
Former Governor Hodges told of the
South leading in the fight for national
prohibition, the ultimate aim of the
Anti-Saloon League, and how at the
time the vote was taken in the House
of representatives in December that the
South stood with a^good majority and
the Northern states were weaker, with
a less majority against it than before.
He said no man who is a true believer
in God can be opposed to principles of
prohibition. “The distiller of intoxi-
cating beverages,” he said, “will talk
to you about personal rights and tell
you every man has the privilege of
drinking what he pleases and when he
pleases, but that man himself cannot
enter his storage rooms only when ac-
companied by a United States officer. If
he wants to take out a pint of the bev-
erage he has stored there he must go
to the customs officer apd get him to
go with him and unlock the door for
him. If he wants to build a new still he
must get permission from the Unted
States to do so and his plans must be
approved by the United States before
he will be permitted to build it, and
yet he talks about personal rights."
Kansas
“The liquor people," said the Gover-
nor, '
prohibit, but I know that it does from
my personal experiences in Kansas. Of
course 1 don't mean to say that there
is no intoxicants ever sold there, but I
consider that prohibition is prohibiting
when to get a drink a man has to go
two or three blocks up a back alley,
turn and go a block or two in another
direction to get to a house where it
can be bought and that then he must
give a special knock at sixteen of sev-
enteen doors before he is admitted to
a low-ceiled room where he can get a
drink in company with the lowest of
thugs.
“I would rather have two blind tig-
ers in a city than one open saloon, for
with the latter the people of the na-
tion license it and make it decent and
respectable and men of all Classes and
often times women will enter it to get
drinks. With the blind tiger, where
they must follow a devious route and
drink in a dark room they feel slinking
about it and nothing but the lowest of
people will go to such places.
again, drinking is nothing more than a
matter of habit.
sent out of Kansas City, Kan., the peo-
ple said we must have something here
for the laboring men to drink or they
will all go to Kansas City, Mo., to buy
their drinks and while there will buy
their supplies. It became necessary .to
license blind tigers there for a time,
but they were finally forced out of the
city. For a short time the laboring
men did go to the city across the line
in Missouri to buy their Idrinks and to
purchase their other goods. They soon
grew tired of making the long trip for
a beverage and soon quit* drinking
them. Business in Kansas City, Kan.,
soon began to pick up and new stores
began to be built and the city became
more prosperous than ever before.
The effect was shown immediately on
qur bank deposits, which began to
allow an increase of a hundred to five
hundred per cent and one bank made
the record of an increase in deposits
of over a thousand per cent.
Liquor Consumption Cut.
"Another thing we strictly enforce,”
said the former Kansas Governor, "is
that no man in the employ of the gov-
ernment can drink. They are not even
permitted to take a single drink of
beer. The strength of the prohibition-
ists has steadily grown for the past
several years and Kansas merchants arc
given a better rating by Dradstreet and
Dunn for the payment of their debts
than the merchants of any other state
in the Union."
Governor Hodges then stated that the
people of Kansas consumed the low
amount of ¥1.50 per capita in intoxi-
cants per annum as was shown by fig-
ures he personally supervised in com-
piling reports. The common carriers
of the-state, including the railroads,
are required to file with the county
clerk a statement of the amount of in-
toxicants they handle, giving the name
of the party to whom it is consigned.
This gives the people the exact figures
on the amount of intoxicants that are
being handled all the time.
The Governor then continued his
comparison of Kansas since she has
joined the dry ranks with states that
are “wet," and related the shipment of
wheat to Belgium. He . told of the
agreement with the governor of Mis-

LONDON. Sept. 6.—For some reason,
not certainly known, the Teutonic drive
in the east is making hut slow progress,
one surmise being that the Teutons are
nearing exhaustion and another that
they have gone as far into the Russian
interior as they consider safe and are
now preparing to dig themselves in for
the approaching winter. Von Hinden-
burg's forces from Riga to Grodno are
at a standstill, and Vilna, whose fall
has been expected for some days, is
still occupied by the Russians. With
the rainy season due before the equi-
nox, the field now occupied by the op-
posing forces will be difficult to get
over, and one report is that Teutonic
troops are now being sent to the Rou-
manian and perbian borders and the
western front, where the allies are con-
tinuing their bombardment without
dertaking any general offensive.

WASHINGTON. Sept. t^Dr. Dumba,
Austro-Hungary’s ambassador, is ex-
pected here today to explain, on his
own initiative, the notes dispatched by
him to his government and taken by*the
British from J. F. J. Archibald, an
American correspondent deputed to de-
liver the messages. Dr. Dumba declares
there is nothing in the notes that can-
not be properly explained, and in re-
gard to one part of the {published state-
ment In which mention was made of
plans to put the big steel mills at
Bethlehem and elsewhere out of com-
mission, said that he had the right to
call the Austrians employed therein on
a general strike, as work on munitions
for an enemy country by Austro- Hun-
garians’is a crime punishable if they
ever return to their country. At
Lenox, Mass., yesterday Dr. Dumba said
he would present copies of the entire
correspondence to Secretary Lansing.
He said he had subsidized many Aus-
trian papers in the effort to get this
matter before Austrians in this country
employed in the steel mills.

The Treasury deposits in the three
Southern reserve banks insures plenty
of 6 per cent money for cotton farmers
who want to hold their cotton for more
advantageous sale, but a prerequisite to
such interest Is a warehouse in which
' the cotton may be stored and protected
from weather or “country" damage and
fire while it is being held. This ar-
rangement is very much better than the
cotton pool last year because it is so
much simpler, for the only thing neces-
sary for a farmer to secure the 6 per
cent money is to warehouse his cotton,
give his 6 per cent note anti the hanker
can then discount it on the preferential
basis of 3 per cent at the reserve bank.
Too much red tape defeated the pur-
pose of the cumbrous cotton pool
scheme last year, but under the present
plan this objection Is removed, and the
only requirement is s bonded
bouse—which Denton has not.

If Denton had invested the time and
money and energy that it put into the
Fort Worth-Denton interurban project
into good roads leading into Denton we
should have something tangible now to
show for the work. Denton raised, we
believe, 875,000 for the interurban, and
that sum put on
roads into Denton would macadamize
practically every county road to the
£’ County line, with the assistance from
the county and from the property own-
ers affected. And we believe such roads
would be worth vastly more to the
business institutions of Denton than an
interurban to either Dallas or Fort
Worth. We wonder how many of the
subscribers to the interurban would do-
nate the amount of their paid subscrip-
tions toward a systematic road im-
provement of the roads leading into
Denton. Or, there being a considerable
sum still due to come back, if there are
any who would give all that is due
them now to so meritorious a project.

Here Arranging Details of
Picnic and Show this Week
With fifty or more new pupils in the
High School, exclusive of the new en-
trants from the ward seventh grades,
who entered the eighth grade this year,
and with a crowd of children the build-
ing will just accommodate- at Lee
school, the attendance record at the
public schools in Denton is expected to
reach a record figure within the next
three or four days.
The High School enrollment promises
to be larger than ever before, with the
conditions of last year as regards room
unimproved. The new entrants are,
many- of them, from families who have
moved here during the summer to give
young people the benefit of the Denton
colleges, as well as of the public
school systen* here. Others are from
the county and nearby towns.
At Lee school the attendance was un-
precedentedly targe. There were 460
children present, a great many “un-
ders” (pay students below seven years
of age) being included In the bunch.
Mr. Park stated (that last year’s opening
day attendance was not above 440, and
that the closing enrollment last year
grew to 490, an increase of about fifty,
jf the same Increase obtains this year
there will be over five hundred stu-
dents in Lee school alone. ;
The enrollment at the other waiMs
could not be got, but Supt. Beaty’S es-
timate of 1,600 students for all of the
schools by Christmas may not be far
above the first day enrollment, when
the figures can be got.

that the people of

gave the people of
make out their first
a comparison between Kansas apd other
states, showing that states in the un-
ion spent more for whiskey each year
than the total wheat crop in Kansas
amounted to. Governor Hodges brought
out the tax question and the revenue
from whiskey, stating that in Kansas
the state tax was 12c on the ¥100
valuation as compared with rates in
states where revenue was gained from
the sale of intoxicants. He told of one
farm of 150 acres that is vauled at ¥100
per acre on which the state and couffty
tax amounts to only 57 cents per acre
and concluded with the statement that
the tax per acre was an average of 3.6
cents per acre for farming land in the
state.
Gov. Hodges was most emphatic in
his denial of statements that prohi-
bition was ruining Kansas and quoted
statistics to show the decrease in illit-
eracy, crime an<i insanity and paupers
in a" state w here there were only two
millionaires. He said there were three-
quarters of a million of young men in
Kansas who had never seen a saloon
and that half that number had never
seen a drunken man or woman.
Texas Election Soon.
“It takes time,” said Governor Hodg-
es, ‘“to bring about these changes in
any state, hut the fight is on in Texas
and will be continued until Texas joins
the ranks for national prohibition.
There will be another election held on
statewide in this state soon. You ask
me when it will be held. That election
will be called before the saloon men
of Texas are ready for It."
Governor Hodges was introduced to
the audience by District Judge Charles
F. Spencer, who in a few brief remarks
said whiskey was doomed in Texas and
that it was only a matter of a short
time until Texas would be in the ranks
for national prohibition. He said it
was only a few years ago that the large
majority of people were anti-prohi-
bitionists hut now the balance had
turned and the large majority are pro-
hibitionists.
The opening address Sunday after-
noon on the courthouse lawn was made
by Rev. A. J. Barton, State Superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon League, in which
he explained the working of the league
and its purpose. He characterized it as
a co-operative, state-wide organization
with a common hatred for the saloon
and a common love for the home and
its protection. The League holds an
annual meeting at which a board of
sixty-seven managers are selected, five
non-salaried and two from each sena-
torial district. Recently the commis-
sion plan of the speakers getting a
commission from the collections they
