SEWER TALK.
Now that Abilono has taken
tho final stop whioh plaoos a
town at tho head of tho proces-
sion in modern sanitation and
comforts obntraotod for a firsts
olass sewer system it is in order
forHho knooker to get busy and
ho will do it. Listen for him.
There is always something
wrojlg with arty progressive stop
taken by a growing young oity
but we don't know what part of
tho oity oontraot with the. sower
company will bo jumped upon.
The roar is ooming and will por
haps be started by someono who
is not personally interested '' in
tho'matter.
The Banitary condition of Abi-
leno'is of first importance. The
question of all questions is oan
I and my family enjoy health
and -fight away tho grim monster
who'' ever hangs over us in a
threatening attitude? Sewers
will enable' us to put him to rout
a long time if we do our part of
the work
Abilene is the best known
town in America of its size.
This is beoause it stands at the
head of the list in the national
weather bureau reports. When
our business manager Mr. An-
derson was north recently he
was questioned by many people
about the town. The'first.ques-
tion was''as to ' the population of
Abilene the seoond in nearly
every instanoe rwas "has Abi-
lene; Bewers?" "I have aN
way 8 known that'Abileno ueeded
sewers" Mr. Anderson said on
his!return " but I never before
realized Wnat it meant to us n
reputation and in seourjhg a do
in
sirable olass of citizens." Even
so.v' The day has come that men
whckiuw-what a big townis are
unwilling to take their families to
one whose -air is polluted from
open closets and other cesspools.
Men who are looking for invest-
ments know v that a town without
sewers is liable to see its values
depredate to - almost nothing by
visitations from epidemios.
Who will be the first to fill the
air with sulphurous mouthings
about the sewers? It will likely
be a raoe between prominent
knockers.
But the main thing is that we
are to have sewers and that
they have come without cost to
the1 oity without a bonus from
our oitizens and upon a business
basis just as other things are
here. '
All honor to our progressive
mayor and counoil.
T. S. Rollins is entitled to tho
credit of getting Mr. Riohey to
take up the sewer question with
our council meeting Mr. Riohey
in the Pass City and grasping
the .opportunity to interest him
in a plant hero. T. S. made two
trips out there 'to further tho
sohorae and has won the grati-
tude of his fellow citizens tor all
future tirao Mr. Riohey was in-
terested in tho town also by rea-
son of tho fact that ho has rela-
tives here Mrs. John R. Mook-
enbury being his cousin.

Prcachlng-To the Preachers. I
Some one has sent us the fol-
lowing clipping without naming
its author:
"I am not a preacher but if I
were I'd never put on a $25 suit
of olothes; but would get one for
$8 and give the remaining to the
poor. I f anoy the Lowly Nazar-
one would give up about S2 to tho
adornment of his person and the
balanoe to some poor toiling
widow. It is much easier how-
ever to preach than praotioe
which aooounts for so many well
fed and better-olad parsons
throughout the dountry."
The author of "tho above para-
graph is a preaoheir that is ho is
preaching to the preaoHers but
he ignores some points to whioh
we -wish to call attention;
Fif8fc-tfBa&- suit-ot-olothosu i.
properly seleoted is cheaper than
an $8 Buit so that the man who
buys the $8 suit has less to spare
to the poor than he who pays
more but really exeroises better
economy.
In the second plaoo every man"
who has to appear in publio
should make it a point to dress tin
taste not too richly nor too
poorly for in' either oase his'
dress would draw attention rath-
er than his address.
In the third place if tho writer
of the paragraph tries to buy a
camel's 'hair robe suoh as the
Savior wore he will findthat few
men with ordinary moans could
afford one.
. In the last plaoo tho author of
the advice to proaohors should
go back and read the dosing
sentence and profit by it and in-
stead of preaohing theories put
them into praotioo for there is no
reason why he should not do ex-
actly whaj; he tolls tho other
proaohors to do dross and live
as oheaply as possible and give
his surplus to tho poor. If he is
an editor oven of a small weekly
paper ho proaohes to larger con-
gregations than threo pastors out
of four and will bo held to tho
same accountability as a pastor.
The newspaper oditor bears a
heavy responsibility and should
bo as Careful of his uttoranoos as
tho minister Avho from tho-pul-pit
