At first we thought the Democrats

Our own solution would be to tax

Amazing are the suicides of rich
men, jumping, shooting, or otherwise
seeking death because they have
“only a few hundred thousand left.”
Everyone, had he retained that
“faith,” the size of a mustard seed,
could rehabilitate himself sufficient-
ly, and live to enjoy the exhiliarat-
ing sensation of starting over again.
Many of our “great, rich and pow-
erful” are like the canary owned by
the little girl “kind to animals.” She
sympathized with the bird, twittering
in its gilded cage, until she could
stand it no longer, took the cage and
set the canary free, in the beautiful
forest.
Imagine the feelings of the canary,
used to his bird seed, perch, cuttle-
fish bone, for sharpening his beak,
and nice cloth laid over his cage at
night.
Some rich men of the canary bird
type suddenly turned out of their
gilded cages, into the cold “take care
of yourself” world, miss the bank
balance, stock ticker, three tele-
phones and secretary to say “He’s in
conference.”
The WORLD expects the best from Firestone
in tires.
Race drivers know Firestone Tires are the
safest and best—for thirteen consecutive years
all the winning drivers at the Indianapolis 500-
Mile International Sweepstakes Race have driven
their cars to victory on Firestone Tires.
Why should you or your family take unneces-
sary chances by using anything but the safest
and best tires that experience and skill can build?
The great organization Mr. Firestone has
built—every employee a stockholder—takes a
greater interest in building the best tires that can
be made because they know that every tire bears
the name “Firestone”, which is a guarantee of
superior quality and workmanship.
Firestone patented construction features with
the Extra Values of Gum-Dipping and Two Extra
Gum-Dipped Cord Plies Under the Tread and
other exclusive Firestone features, make Firestone
Tires outstanding in all
the grades, at unbeliev-
ably low prices.
Drive in today and
compare sections cut
from Firestone Tires
and others. See for your-
self the Extra Values you
get in these safest tires,
at prices lower than
they have ever been
before.
These Extra Values
in Firestone Tires cost
you no more than ordi-
nary tires.

at the university at the beginning of
the fall semester. The examination
included the comparatively simple
subjects listed above, yet more than
half of the 1,067 boys and girls
failed to make a passing grade of
60.
They came from the high schools
of Texas, for the most part. Only
twenty-one students made grades of
90 or above and practically all of
them were from the big city high
schools—Dallas, San Antonio and
Austin furnishing most of them.—
Abilene News.
If matriculates at our universities
are arriving from the high schools
with only hazy notions of spelling,
grammar and sentence structure, it
is simply too bad. These are the bot-
tom things they must learn before
they learn the top things. They will
never know the toppers until they
know the lowers. The sentence is
fundamental in accurate thinking.
Not to know the structure of a sen-
tence at sight, not to be able to con-
struct one’s sentences in a workman-
like manner, is to cripple one’s think-
ing. When the writing or speaking
of a person runs into a stream with-
out periods or comas the thinking
runs into mush. Ground the young
student thoroughly in sentence struc-
ture and he can acquire all the learn-
ing in the world. He can’t acquire it
otherwise. The visiting member of
the school board was making a little
speech to the school children, and in-
cidentally told them he never knew
how or where to use commas, and,
anyhow, he didn’t think commas
amounted to anything. The teacher
put this sentence on the blackboard:
“The visitor says the teacher is a
fool.” After’ the children were
through laughing, the teacher put a
comma after visitor and another aft-
er teacher, making the sentence read:
“The visitor, says the teacher, is a
fool.” Now, little dears, who was the
fool, or who had the most reason for-
feeling like one?—State Press- in
Dallas News.

THAT GOOD
GULF
Many Texas counties have audi-
tors, and these auditors are serving
a good purpose when they do their
work properly. Several things have
come to light recently that reveal
the fact that auditors don’t always
audit. In several counties private
audits by competent parties have
shown that illegal practices have
been followed, contracts let without
properly complying with the law,
corruption permitted with losses to
the counties following. One natural-
ly wonders what a county auditor is
for unless it is to prevent just such
things. The conclusion the public has
reached is that some auditors ap-
pointed to protect the interests of
the county have proven incompetent
or untrustworthy.
An audit by a private firm of ac-
countants has just revealed that in
Dallas County the county commis-
; sioners have spent many thousands
of dollars on road contracts that did
not comply with the law. Many tons
of asphalt had been bought and paid
for without any evidence showing it
had been received. Large purchases
were made without competitive bids
being received as demanded by low.
Naturally the people sometimes
wonder- what a county auditor is for,
and also wonder why it is possible
for dishonest commissioners to de-
fraud the county without detection.

Old Grayson has had a rain every
time one was needed this spring, and
as a result crops promise good yields.
Now, if Mr. Hoover, the man who
said if he was elected he would drive
poverty from the Grand Old U. S.,
will see to it that farm products
bring live and let live prices, every-
thing will be o. k.

The Whitewright high school
graduating class was composed of
thirteen boys and twenty girls. The
number thirteen seemed to be lucky
for the boys, as they won the highest
honors of the class. Lloyd Stowers
won first honors and James Lindsey
second. Miss Madge Sears was the
honor student for the girls. Thirteen
members of the class made an aver-
age of ninety or above. That’s a rec-
ord the class may justly be proud of.

Senator Neely of West Virginia
says that it costs the government
$13,000 a minute for each minute a
member of the Senate speaks. If
that’s true, .Congress should adjourn
at once. It is said that it costs Texas
over $200 every time a member of
the Legislature speaks for one hour.
If we ever become a candidate for
the Legislature one plank in our plat-
form will be a promise to the voters
not to make a speech over five min-
utes long, and very few

(Homer M. Price in Marshall
Morning News)
I received this from Hallsville:
“I read your interview with the
Marion County farmer who had come
down to the fair, and while it was a
pretty good story, I object to your
saying he was a Baptist because you
quoted him as saying he was an anti
and liked his toddy. I have noticed
in former articles from your pen that
you always give the man who imbibes
a church affiliation with us deep
waters. Do Methodist never indulge?
How about Episcopalians? Your
friend, Deep Water Baptist.” I
would say that my only excuse for
reporting my Marion County friend
as a Baptist is the fact that he’is one,
and I can give my Hallsville corre-
spondent his name and he can find
out for himself. But about these other
church members I would say that I
can illustrate the situation better by
telling of the testimony I heard in a
grand jury room some eight oi’ ten
years ago. I realize that things told
in the grand jury room are secret
but it’s so long ago I don’t think it
will be'a violation of my oath to re-
late what a witness said who con-
fessed he was a bootlegger. The
foreman, in trying to find out wheth-
er reports were true about the great
amount of liquor that was being sold,
asked him if he sold any to church
members. His reply was: “Oh, yes,
they are the best customers I have
and they won’t ever give you away.
But you have to understand
Now a Presbyterian always
the Scotch label, a Catholic
gin, an Episcopalian always wants
the very best but you can fool him
easy, a Methodist is not a depend-
able. He climbs up on the water
wagon every now and then but he
generally tumbles off sooner or
later, but gentlemen, for a sure-
enough, dependable customer, give
me a Baptist. He is less particular
about the grade and price than any
of the others.”

Some business men are so busy
talking about the depression that
they haven’t time to lure dollars out
of hiding with new ideas and adver-
tising. But there are a few business
institutions that are doing more ad-
vertising and putting forth greater
efforts to get business than ever be-
fore. We know a merchant who does
not live a hundred miles from White-
wright who claims that his volume of
sales is greater at this time than
two years ago. He gives the credit to
the kind of advertising he is doing—
letting the buyers know that he is
selling merchandise on present day
values, and telling it in a way that
attracts attention.

THERE OUGHT TO BE
A LAW—
Grayson County has six candidates
for district attorney. The voters
should be able to pick a good one
from that bunch—one that will not
agree to give the defendant a
pended sentence before the
comes to trial.
He lives on Main street, and he is
an articulate and intelligent reader
of the newspapers. He glances over
the morning paper and takes it home
with him at night for a further
perusal. Sunday afternoons he im-
merses himself happily in seas of
printer’s ink.
Now and then as he reads he
speaks aloud. “They ought not to do
it. It’s just inflation, that’s all it is,”
he says of an item telling of a bill to
have the government stabilize prices.
He reads of President Hoover’s
plan to increase the powers and lati-
tude of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, and snorts:
“What good’ll that do,
help th’ big fellers? Bank’ll get it an’
what good is that going to do me?”
Mr. Main Street runs a small dry
goods store. Business is slow, his
stock too large and his bank strin-
gent. He speaks from a full heart.
Somebody has made an appeal on
the floor of the House of Represen-
tatives for a cash settlement to vet-
erans of the World War. Mr. Main
Street got as far as Tampa, in 1898.
That was . all he did in the Spanish
ruckus and he never thought
pension.
“Bonus, bonus, bonus,” he
hies. “Pay, pay, pay all the
Half of ’em never got hurt
Somebody ought to
about it.”
He takes a penknife from his
pocket and cuts the item from the
paper. Added to the clippings on all
sorts of subjects in his pocket, it
makes a large wad. He is always cut-
ting things out for further reference,
and every once in a while his wife
gets his coat and cleans out the pock-
ets. He never misses them.
Mr. Main Street has opinions—
some good, some not so good—and
he speaks his mind. But he never
thinks of sitting down and writing
what he thinks to his congressman,
nor does he attend his ward corhmit-

Another kind of man rejoices in
the sudden change, the certainty
that he will end his days working^
thinking new thoughts, instead of
gliding into his grave on a peaceful
stream.
This country has not suddenly died.
It suffers from no plague or war, un-
less you call official cupidity a
plague.
The Nation has everything it ever’
had, gold, silver, copper, land, mines,
machinery, intelligence.
And some, that know it, will come
out of this situation with profit, hon-
or and pride of achievement. There
has not been, since the Civil War, a
time of greater opportunity. And age
makes no difference. Nothing to be
afraid of, except our own fear.—
