It pays to keep on the right side ot
a newspaper man. Every newspaper
treasures up in its memory the names
of its friends and likewise its enemies.
It netcr overlooks a chance to assist
the former but never goes out of the
way for the latter. Human nature is
the same anywhere. People who show
aaewspaper man kindness never made
a better investment or one that more
surely pays them a hundred fold
sooner or later. As has been truly
said: There occasionally comes a time
in the life of every man when a word
aid by a newspaper makes or un-
makes the individual mentioned Ex.
There will be preaching at the First
Preabyienau church Sunday morning

The Texas and Pacific Teachers' as
sociation met at Colorada City Friday
ana Saturday ftiirch 6 and 7 Profs.
Bailey Warrcp and Roach and Misses
Ida May Cook and Hmda Barry at-
tended from Abilene. There was a
large and enthusiastic meeting. The7!
people ot Colorado entertained the
teachers' most graciously and did every
thing in their power to make the occa-
sion pleasant and profitable. Rev. B.
H. Carroll Trv delivered a very eloquent
wejeome address and was responded
to by Prof. Grogan of Sweetwater in
appropriate words.
Mr M. A Bretz of Abilene arrived
Saturday evening and delivered an ex
cellent address on the "Teacher as a
moulder of publicopiniont"
There was a number of trustees
and county judges present and all
manifested commend ible . interest in
the great work. AH are high in their
praise of the hospitality and pub-
lic spirit of Colorado and hope that
we may meet there again in the near
future. Editor Lively of the Review
read a very lively paper on Gazes"
Many other excellent papers were read.
The next" meeting is at Big Springs
and Piof T. A Bledsoe is the presi-
dent. Too much praise cannot be accorded
Supt. Marshal of Colorodo and his
teachers for their good management in
making this meeting a success
The protracted meeting being con-
ducted at the Methodist church by
Evangelist Burnett increases interest
and attendance at each service. The
sermons are logical and to the point
and the extent of the good being ac-
complished eternity alone will tell.
The meeting will continue over Sunday
and it is the desire of those in charge
that all feel themselves especially in-
vited to attend and those not in the
habit of attending religious services
are urged to come and give Mr. Bur-
nett a hearing.
The inefficiency of the criminal
courts so much deprecated of late is
not altogether the fault of the judges
or the lawyers practicing in these courts
as was evidenced in two cases in Chi-
cago recently where the respective
judges of the trials had occasion to
severely rebuke the juries for acquit-
ting against the plainest evidence
prisoners charged with felony One
of the judges declared he had not in
six months seen stronger evidence of
gult and the other declared that there
was little use in maintaining courts
when juries returned such verdicts It
seems that the failure of criminal jus
tice is an evil that reaches to every
community and that reformation in
criminal court procedure is as neces-
sary in the jury system as the umpjifi-
cation of .the laws the judges and the
lawyers.
