Denison Dam Prospcts Not
At All Discoursing
Denison is not fearful of not getting
ultimately the dam built, even though
there be no appropriation as yet made for
it
Denison Dam Recommended
MAJOR GENERAL MARK-
HAM'S REPORT on the Red Riv-
er dam is favorable. Denison
will rejoice at that news and all
Texas can afford to rejoice with
her. It is true that the immed-
iate prospect is obscured by the
storm of controversary which is
sure to arise over the President's
gargantuan plan for eight region-
al authorities to cover the whole
nation. And that is the inward
significance of the President's
comment in his letter transmit-
ting the General's report to the
House and Senate. The Presi-
dent says, noncommittally, that
the budget makes no provision
for the cost of the dam, and of
course it does not. But through
the dam is not immediately in
prospect, the report makes it an
eventual probability. In no com-
prehensive scheme of navigation,
flood control, irrigation and hy-
droelectric power production will
the Red River be overlooked.

made, the report was carefully checked
and then sent to the president with the
recommendation that it be built.
The president in turn transmitted the
report to the House and Senate with the
quarts of liquor daily. No wonder it is so
easy for him to stay in a glib and humor-
ous condition. And to think he gets $6,-
000 a week for staying liquored up, while
most of us can't make that much in a year
and stay sober.

INTERESTING BITS ABOUT
OUR FRIENDS
Doak Blassingame (we can't
hardly call him Dr. as he is still
affectionately known to us as
Doak) came into the office today
and sat down at the old desk
where he formerly ground out
copy on the Denison Daily pre?
be?ore attending his medical col-
lege and getting his degree. Doak
is one of those charming youn#
men who grows into your heart
by his gentle and easy-going way,
and yet he is not effeminate at
all. Doak should 'have been a
newspaper man, we think, as he
always turned in good copy. lie
has a nose for news, and whsn
he is going after an appendix, we
rather think he will take it from
the news angle as much as he does
HJhei doctor's viewpoint. Doak
graduated from the Galveston
medical college and has been
showered with signal offers bo-
cause of his outstanding work.
We (will always think wei ha I
something to do with helping him
make any success. He still love
the news hound business.

When Rev. Ben F. Hearn stated
at his revival services Wednesday
night on the East side that some
f the members, and officers, of
the church needed to be called uv
as early as 4 a. m. and reminded
that a meeting was in order to
nvake an impression, he was get-
ting close to a needed remedy.
Most of the people have gotten so
they need the unusual approach
tn get them sold on doing any-
thing about anything. The trou-
ble in holding a revival these
days is to keep up enough inter-
est to keep the parties who are
holding it on the job. If they
can hold out for several days at
1he task, they will finally arouse
some few people. Billy Sunday
once walked up and down the
aisle in a little church when only
three or four aged women came.
He did not walk in the ordinary
faphion^ but got down on his
all-fours. He told the women to
tell others what he did. After that
the church was filled.

DUE THE GREATER HONOR
' Tfie other day a movie actress
died in Hollywood, and the Associ-
ated Press telegraphed to it3
hundreds of newspaper patrons
ing her death and her career. Yet
several thousand words concern-
her only claim to fame was her
marital troubles with a number
of husbands and her brief suc-
cess as a screen star. If she
had done anything to benefit the
world save to give it a little brief
entertainment, it was not re-
corded in the newspaper dispatch-
es. . *
Only a short time ago one of
the greatest of our university
presidents passed away suddenly
at the height of mental and physi-
cal strength. The Associated
Press sent out to the Nation only
the briefest mention of his death
and less mention of the import-
ance and success of his really
great labors. As a rule the news-
papers of Texas were more gen-
erous of their space, though few
of them devoted as much space to
Dr. Benedict as they did to the
Hollywood actress.
I The only reason that can be
given for such differtnee in the
treatment of celebrities in the
field of entertainments of sports,
and celebrlteg In the field of edu-
cation, of literature, or religion,
or real constructive ability, is the
difference in the taste of news-
paper readers. But the newspa-
pers themselves have cultivated
the taste for the former out of
all proportion to the importance
of the latter.
«
I We commend the course of the
Paris News in the way it pre-
sented the news of the death of
a faithful and successful educator
who for many years had done ex-
cellent work in Fannin and La-
mar counties. In addition to a
well written article concerning his
death and burial, the News paid a
deserved editorial tribute to his
memory. Why should not people
everywehere be as much interest-
ed in the story of the life and
labors of a man like W. J. Mor-
row, even though they never
knew him, as they are in the story
of some sportsman or actress
whom they never saw? If we
value the really important things
of life, we would show that in-
terest.
' In another place we reproduce
the News' tribute to Prof Morrow,
who had thousands of friends in
this county, as well as in Lamar.
We, too, honor his memory for
the goodness and usefulness cf
his life and labors—Bonham Fav-
orite.
