THE PRESS OF NORTH AND
EAST TEXAS
If there was any one tihing which stood out
ahove all others at the recent meeting of the
North and East Texas IPress Association held
here, it was Hhe fact that the publishers are all
committed to the task of keeping this country
on a basis wherp freedom of enterprise may
hold in the American way and where the boy->
will have, on their return from Ube battlefronts
those samj privileges and opportunity vouch-
safed them witnin the freedom and franuvork
of the constitution.
Time and again were such references made
ar.d with each session thpre was increasing ap-
plause from the hearers, whether the speake- be
cne of the membership or whether he be a gues.
speaker.
The press as represented by the various
t^pes of men attending, may vary and differ on
some thi'igs as to policy, and topics, but tyiey are
a unit on thp mutter that t(his country shall
remain; free and the opportunities for the com-
ing generation shall not be dimmed by any intru-
sions into those liberties which may not now
be enjoyed, which condition some would like to
make ^ permanent situation.
As one (member put it he would rather be in a
enack by the highway and his bed a pallet an'l
be able to call his soul his owm politically and
from a business standpoint, than to enjoy any
aitificial financial stimulation from bureaucrat!!
pad not own his personal freedom.
And for that kind of liberty the men of the
Fourth Estate of the North and East Texas
Press Association are indissolubly commuted,
and for it tljsy will fight.
As long, then as oui* editors are catfi, in that
mold, we shall be flree and our fight to main-
tain l|he freedom within the constitution will be
forthcoming.

Dt is rather amusing how easy it is for sum-
mersaults to be turned in the big circus ring of
politics. That's one kind of show Barnum can

Records show the following .federal per
capita debt on the shoulders of the American
p<op*e, starting with .1790 and running to tiie
p:esent year. In 1790 it twas $19.32. At the
time of civil wa|r in I860 to 70 it was $77.69.
In 1920 it was $282.32. In the past 14 years
the federal per capita debt has mounted to
vhene it is now $1486. No wonder some of
the fathers are beginning to worry about their
sons having to fight their war and then have to
c: me back home and pay the debt or hand it on
to their children. If politicians are playing
this war to fatten their ohvn interests, God have
mercy on them When the settling time really
ce>mes. And if this war is not ended in such a
way as to stop for all time any othpr like
ble.ody and costly thing, then again, God have
mercy on the ones who should have ordered it
to be different, but did not,

Principles—Not Men
Lamar Countiy Echo
This is one election year whan
voters should not allow themselves
to be "swept off their feet" by
the appeal of candidates w<ho do
not represent, in their political
views, the best interests of the
country—we are speaking, of
coui^e, in reference to those wjho
would hold office in our federal
government. This is no time to
support candidates ffor purely
personal reasons. Thpre are prin-
ciples involved in the forthcoming
na!tiional election that call for the
most careful thought and consid
oration. Shall we continue on
the road to dictatorship and bu-
reaucracy under the New Deal
philosophy of j*o\1?rnment, or
will we stand up for our rights
as American citizens and demand,
in no uncertain terms, that our
lawmakers return the government
tc #he people, as guaranteed un-
der the constitution?
The Echo is Democratic in
politics. We have wo apology to
iralke for taking tihis position.
This paper is not interested in
thj® personal ambitions of any
office seeker. We will not sup-
port any candidate for a nat-
ional office who refuses to ad-
here to the fundamental princi-
ples of democracy and who is un-
willing to uphold constitutional,
representative government in this
country. The Democratic party,
a« Hve have known it for all these
years, is not a part of the CJO
organizaton, nor any o<ther selfish
group. "Equal rights to all. and
special privileges to none" is a
principle that has always guirV?d
tihe destinies and' has been the
slogan of this political organiza-
tion. When men electjed t*> office
under the Democratic banner
fail and refuse to abide bv the
tbr.e-<hoi*ored teaching* of the
founders of 'the party, then it
is the duty and responsibility of
every Democrat to elect men
to /ill their pla<r« who are truly
representative of the party.
The Democrats of this nation
should rescue this government,
from dhe New Denlers. If they
fail to do this, the Republicans
are likelv to make a "clean
sweep" In the November •Ac-
tions.

worthy and unselfish Bond-buying
drive.

In endorsing the Grandmothers
League founded by Mrs. Marshall,
wife of the General, Mrs. NefT agrees
with Mrs. Taggart that "In buying
Bonds with our grandchildren as co-
owners, we have an emergency f\jnd
to use if necessary. But we don't ex-
pect that. We want the Bonds to be
there for the children'i education."
born, Fort Worth was only a
(hamlet and Western Texas was a
dark spdt on the map of crea-
tion—the buffalo and tihe ante-
lope roamed at twill and the rod
man was tfie boss of the situation
in this vast domain.
"Through all these years, she
has never wavered in her duty
nor forsalqsn (her colors; she has
lived to see Western Texas con-
verted into happy homes and
fine ranches. If her editorials
and tflie good things shp has said
about people were stretched out
in a row, they would reach from
Texarkana to El Paso.
"She (has recorded your births,
wrote long ohituar^ss of com-
mendation for your dead and
when your sons alnel daughters
were joined in wedlock, she has
.told of the beauty of the bride
and piai.^3d the sterling qualities
of t(he groom. She has taken
men from the dark valleys of ob-
scurity and boosted them to the
top round of fame and didn't get
a red cent for it.
•VShe has llvjed to see "the fer-
tile valleys of Western Texas
(which only a few years ago was
a howling wilderness) trans-
formed Into beautiful farms and
