JttNHLY WARNING FROM MA.T0H
HAVERSIICK EMPLOYE OF
UNCLE SAM.
ABILENE IS BELOW AVERAGE
People Not Careful Enough In Keeping
Federal Building Clean; Can
bo Punished for Dcfac-
In gthe Walls.
Major W Haverstlck of Waahlngton
D. Ci who today is within the con-
llnes of Abilene la a gentleman willing
ev'cn anxious to assist tho people of
this city in a campaign for cleanli-
ness. Major IlaVerstlck la th0 General In-
spector1 of the Treasury Department.
His mission is to pay regular visits
to ench of tho nearlyu. thousand Fed-
eral buildings in1 the United States and
see that all la clean and neat and or-
derly. The fjy 1b his enemy germ lad-
n dust 1b his mortal foe and cob-
webs are a main object of his at-
tack. Ho arrived In the city today al noon
from El 'Paso is stopping at tho Grace
and will leave tomorrow for Fort
Worth. f '
"I am rlpo for an interview" was his
Withe greeting "although this is not a
season when flifngs ripen you find in
me a' fruit so rlpo that should 'you
touch me I will fall from my tree."
In his report to tho Secretary of the
Treasury tho Major will report re
luctantly perhaps that the character
of cleanllnesB in the Federal building
and poatoffico here is far belqw what
it Bhould be and considerably under
the average. There are some twenty
Federal buildings in Toxasand fnjaut
two of these do that same degree of
-carelessness which he sees hero pre-t
domirtato.
Standing in the lobby of the postof-
flee his keep brown eyes scanning ev-
erjf nook and crovace tho Major poin-
ted at the fly species on the windows
the dust in the corner thetobwebs
on tho celling and the paper on tho
floor.
"I am uot here to make a report of
what I seo In a spirit of animosity"
ho declared "I liave been visiting Abi-
lene too long and watched it grow
great with too fond eyes to regard it
with rancor merely because its people
are not tidy In the matter' of cleaning
up their streets and public buildings.
My mission is one of instruction. I
am taught nt headquarters that noth-
ing is original If you expect your
mule to talk your elephant to drink
tea or your dog to shake hands you
must teach them how. It is so with
people. They .must be instructed in
the matter of -keeping their public
buildings clean or they will not know
how to go about the Job.
"In all frankness I am forced to
state that the Fedoral building at Abi-
lene is in a deplorable way so far as
general cleanliness is concerned. It
is not my duty to lay the blame ono
way or another oxcept upon the cus-
todian of the building. I point out
these things and tho people must do
the rest.''
After designating defaclngs on the
wall of the lobby made by persons
striking matches and pointing out ad-J
vortlBoments glued to the hot air pipes
be Major Quoted Section 5391 Rovised
Federal Statue us well as tho act of
July 7 190? Chapter 57C flection 2
which nrovido that all nersons dofnn-
lng in any way"-any public buildings
Bhall be held punishable by tho law
governing such statute in tho state In
which tho act is committed.
Tho Mnyor said earnestly:
"There is no greater Index to tho
character of a people than tho general
appearance of tholr public buildings.
It was once said perhaps often: 'show
mo your comotory and I will judge
your city' I say show me your pub-
lic buildings and from their degree of
tidiness X will deduce my verdict as to
your people"
.When ono Iibb conversed with this
Wide awake representative of Uncle
Sam and heard him tell of somo of
his experiences tn the lines cf his duty
1n the various sections of the UnltPd
States ono cannot help but IjIusMjie.
with gonuino shame. It Is to bo ear-
nestly hoped that this kindly advice
from Major Ilaverstlck will fall on
fruitful Ball and that the people of
Abilene in tho future as not in tho
past will endeavor to kop not only
the federal 'juildlng and pqatofflco In
spick im span shape but alio their U
leyB streets yards and even homes.
If auch Is tho result warmly assures
the Major he will fool that his trip
to Abilene has not boon made In vain
and thnt tho people pf this city are.

Special to The Reporter.
SHERMAN .Feb. 9. Colonel Cecil
A..r.yo.n leader of the Republican par
ty in Texas was today asked who he.
would support or recommend as a suc-
cessor to the late Judge D. E Briaut
of Sherman as judge of the Eastern
district of Texas but -would make ho
reply to show which candidate it eith-
er he favors. "I have no statement
to ninka on the subject" said Col.' Ly-
on "and perhaps if I 'had it would
have- very Uttle effect In. the out-
come." i.
A report from Washington Js author-
ity for the statement .that President
Taft wlllliot appoint a successor to
Bryant until he has had a conference
wJtirLyon and it is helleved that Lyon
will soon go to the capital to confer
with the president.
Judge Bryant was a Democrat and it
la believed here that thq president will
appoint a Pemocrat as hiB successor to
the bench; It is rumored here todajr
thnt a third aplication for the offlce
has been received at Washington but
cannot be affirmed. Taft has appoin-
ted several Democrats to the bench at
different places in the 'country and
this gives rise to the belief that tho
next judge of the" Eastern district of
Texas will also be a Democrat.
It Is not expected' that the appoint-
ment will be made for several weeks
yet o before the end of February at
the .earliest.

bell this afternoon declined to either
refuse or grant the icstoration of thq
rights of citizenship to Joe Lovell but
rcforred the matter to the board of

neys expressed surprise at tho actions
of -the governor. Campbell says tnat
one reason why he denied the granting

Is because of a signed statement sent
him by Sheriff Forbes of Ellis county
denying tho good deportment ot Lovell
since he hns been released.
