HENRY EDWARDS & SON, Pubs.
IMITATING IS FLATTERING
Entered at the postoffice at Troup,
Texas, as, second-class mail matter
under Act of Congress of March 3,
1879.
The Banner observed some weeks
ago that Kailroad Commissioner Earle
B. Mayfield had, in its opinion, an-
nounced the fundamentals, or the key-
note, of what ought to be and doubt-
less would be the paramount issue in

This is pre-eminently the season to
garden in your garden and to clean
up your premises and all the adja-
cent streets and alleys.
We wonder if our City Dads are
going to take any action with a view
to having the citizenship of the town
take concerted steps for a clean-up
campaign.
In his preliminary announcement that
he would be a candidate to succeed
Hon. Chas. A. Culberson in the in
the U. S. Senate, Commissioner May-
field stated quite several months ago
that the principal plank of his plat-
form would be an outspoken, unqual-
ified declaration for State’s Rights,
for the rights of the states not merely
as respects the enroachments of the
Federal Government in the matter of
railway rate regulations, but in all
other matters of enroachment, there
being examples of such federal en-
roachments, both great and small, in
numerous instances.
It seems that The Banner guessed
well in commenting upon Commission-
er Mayfield’s preliminary announce-
ments. We say this for the reason
The Banner likes the platform of
Prof. Ed R. Bentley who is a candi-
date for the office of State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. More-
ever we know Prof. Bentley who is
now Superintendent of the McAllen
Public Schools, to be a real educator,
a man of broad vision and definite
educational ideals. He has an invari-
able habit of putting over every job
to which he gives his attention. In
due time we hope to comment at
length upon some of the many strong
planks in his platform.
Nine years ago on Feb. 26 this
community was visited by a hail
atorm that did more than 3100,000
worth of damage. The hail lay in
drifts and under trash for a full
month—and 24 days after it fell Ban-
nerman was invited to eat ice cream
frozen by hailstones that had been
gathered in a drift in a ravine on the
outskirts of the town. You recall
that some outsiders did not believe
these matters because Troup did not
wince and call for outside help.
that several of the half score or more
of the candidates opposing Mr. May-
field have made their formal “open-
ing” speeches—and in practically ev-
ery instance these candidates have
either switched directly from some
other proposition which they had
previously “paramounted” to an ar-
dent advocasy of Mr. Mayfield’s prop-
osition as their leading plank, or at
least made their State’s Rights ex-
pressions to overshadow anything else
they said. /
Mr. Mayfield should feel flattered,
for it is said that imitation is the
sincerest flattery. He made his open-
ing speech at Waxahachie last Satur-
day, and now his opponents can read
his original views in no uncertain
terms and can probably improve their
own State's Rights planks. As Rail-
way Commissioner, Mr. Mayfield has
constantly called the attention of the
public to the gravity of Federal en-
roachments, particularly in the matter
of railway rates and regulations
which have been taken virtually out
of the hands of the states by the
actions of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The patrons of railways
are aware of the gravity of this Fed-
eral usurpation, made aware of it
largely by Commissioner Mayfield
Reference to our Smith county an-
nouncement columns for this week
shows Mr. J. L. W. Keele, formerly
of Mt. Sylvan, but now of Tyler, as
a candidate for the office of Tax As-
sessor of Smith county. Mr. Keele
is a citizen of most excellent stand-
ing and reputation wherever he is
known. Four years ago he sought
this office and lacked but a few votes
of winning over the successful candi-
date. He is a democrat of the old
school, and, accepted his defeat in
the proper spirit of true democrats
in political contests. Mr. Keele's
friends, mindful of the flattering vote
accorded to him at that time, have
urged him to make the race again
this year. In authorizing his an-
nouncement, Mr. Keele requests the
publication of the following:
“To the Voters of Smith County:
“I hereby announce my candidacy
for the nomination in the Democratic
primary for the office of Tax Assess-
or for Smith county. I made the race
for this office four years ago and re-
ceived a very large vote.
“I have always been a Democrat,
and, if nominated and elected, I shall
endeavor to administer the office in a
satisfactory way for all the people.
“For my standing, I refer the vot-
ers to my friends, and acquaintances
thruout the county and to the people
around Mt. Sylvan, where I farmed
about 16 years.
“I earnestly solicit and shall high-
ly appreciate your vote.”

ERROR IN PUBLICATION DATE
In making up the date for our is-
sue of last week, Feb. 23, we inadver-
tently picked up and inserted a line
making The Banner of that date ap-
pear to have been issued on January
23. It was an overnight which made
ua appear to be mailing a newspaper
which had become ancient history so
to speak. However, we feel sure that
most of our readers did not notice
our error, but those who did were
kind enough to call our attention to
it.—after it was too late.
The Banner has examined with very
great interest Volume 1, No. 1 of The
Lufkin Leader which made its initial
bow for public favor on Feb. 16. This
new venture in journalism is made by
some "old heads” at the game, namely
W. L West, formerly of Livingston,
and Gentry Dugat, one of the smooth-
est reportorial and editorial writers

The interest of the pupils and fac-
ulty of Bullard school was clearly
shown last week by a successful hen
drive. Each pupil was asked to bring
a big fat hen or fifty cents, that the
school might raise a hundred dollars
to help Bullard have a nine months
school. Within three days most of
the rooms had gone “Over the top”
and by Friday $108 had been raised.
Much school spirit and enthusiasm
was shown and “fifteen rahs” and
“over the top” was heard thru the
school building as each room raised
its quota.
If left to the faculty and pupils
of Bullard school here would be no
question whether or not Bullard will
maintain its standard as a first class
school of nine months.—Bullard Her

HARDING SAYS:
PUT THE WORLD RIGHT
BY THE SAVING OF MONEY
In a recent letter to Earl R. Obern, of Chicago, President
Harding goes on record as an enthusiastic advocate of the
practice of saving money. He declares that saving is, the
only means to reestablish the world's stores of working
capital, and expresses the hope that the public may take
this lesson to heart. The President a letter follows:
"You ask me for an expression regarding the subject of
saving money.
"I have for many years been pretty well convinced that
saving money is largely a matter of habit, and people who
make a good beginning at it presently discover that it is
by no means impossible, and it is altogether a good thing
to do. Just at this juncture in the world's and our country’s
affairs it is certainly one of the most useful contributions
that people could possibly make to putting the world right
I do not believe there is any other way to straighten out
the tangle of financial and economic concerns into which
the world has been percipitated by the war, except to pro-
duce a good deal more than we consume, which means to
save, and by our savings to reestablish the world s stores
of working capital.
"I have no more earnest hope than that the public may
take this lesson to heart and learn to save as, in view °f
our great national fortune, they could be able to do.
