ORGANIZATION
TT 51
THAT Is what tho Word successs means. That Is what the great busl.
hoes enterprises which nro rcachlug and controllug tho commerce of tho
World have accomplished. They bavo organUcd and tho efforts of an or-
ganized phalanx brings to their doors tho silver and gold of tho earth. In
organization there Is storngth and power. A properly organized corps of
mon will always win. Man is tho fiolutlon of every question that portnlns
to this life. Mind you wo said man. lly man wo do not menu u thing we
mean a real suro enough woll round.ed well balanced.encrgellc throbbing
pushing human being endowed with power only a utile lower than tho
angels. Give hint an organization well thought out woll balnnced will-
Ing to bo used every fellow ready to do his part. You know what Will
happen.
It U that kind or nn organization that Abilene needs. The Ahllouo
Chamber of Commerce should bo tho llvest thing In Abllone. If our people
realized what thorough organization means there would not be room in the
present quarters to hold tho men whti would ntteud the Chamber of Com-
merce meetings. Abilene nccdB to enlist tho co-operation of every citizen
of the town. It Is needed for many reasons The enthusiasm of tho
crowds the feeling that every follow Is nt his post and hundreds or
other reahons Just ob good make such a thing desirable. AloXunder the
grcnt won because of his superb organizing power. So thorough should be
the organization that handles Abllonn'a destiny that a "word would put
every man In tho town working for her projects.
There Is room for somo thinking of the r.8"t kM 'o"B Ote lino of or-
ganization In this city.
It Is bald that Miss Helen GoUid
who married today spent only $1000.00
on her trousseau. Miss Gould is one
of the richest but most gracious wo-
men America has ocr produced anil
she Is an honor to the generation. She
has everything that she needs but
thinks of others as she gots along
through life. Her .good deedB will
abide to bless and make happy tho
lives of many.

THE FEE SYSTEM.
George C. Pendleton of Dell county
has pusBud over the river of death.'
Years ago he was one of the promi-
nent politicians or Texas. He repre-
seated his district at Austin and
Washington and was lieutenant gov-
ernor of Texas two terms. Many of
the old timers believe that he was a
true statesman that his mhd and
heart were given to the betterment
of his fellows. Ho stood for n Demo-
cracy thaj hus gone ho looked at
thlngfi different to what our leaders
do at thlH time. Which position is
correct we do not assume tt sav but
wo choosy tho progressive spirit of
tho present day. Wo can see no more
reason for trying to run our govern-
went like otlr fathers did HO years
agp than wo can see In start ug out
on an ox wagon when there la an
auto lu waiting.
Fort worth ia nuviiig another epi-
demic of petty thefts hoiiio of tho
cases going beyond tho meaning of
petty theft. Many have lost valuable
JoWelry clothing etc. while ciirpo'n-
tors huvo Itad their tools Hjplou. lcn.
tlsts their gold and so on down tho
lino. There should bq a stringent law
against burglary in fact against all
kinds or thlovlug robbing otcr A man
who will steal will murder nine times

hut they have been pretty well Invali-

enough in our publje olllcers o make

ums Uut whether this is the philos-
ophy of the foe system or not. It has
become iiidofenslhlo by'nmbon f the
fart tint It allows romponsations thut

W hae Sheriffs for example who
mako three or four times ns much as
tho Chief Justice of the Supromo
Court of Texas. Of course with such
"rich pickings" offered tho eutitnstfi
