LOOKING BETTER.
GENERAL BUSINESS in the eleventh
federal reserve district appears to
be Improving according to the month-
ly summary prepared by the Dallas
Reserve Bank and published in this
newspaper a few days ago. The Te-
Tiew was based upon Information com-
plied May 15th and covered all phases
of business and industrial activity in
the federal reserve district. These
monthly reviews are fairly accurate
barometers of business and industry
and are considered carefully by the
business and industrial interests of
the district.
The current summary indicates that
West Texas is cow in better condition
than since 1D13 and a heavy crop pro-
duction In this area is. forecasted.
Bank loans are somewhat contract-
ed indicating "an unusual credit situ-
ation that now exists" according to
the review. This is attributed to the
fact that the planting season is un-
usually late and farmers have not yet
made their normal demand for credits
in the purchase of seeds.
; General trade activity in April was
not asreat as in March Wholesale
and retail sales were somewhat smal-
ler except In a few lines. Collections
are reported as satisfactory; although
slowing up a bit.
Building activity is continued and
'labor conditions in the district are im-
proved. Range and livestock condi-
tions are reported as "almost Ideal ex-
cept in the vicinity of El Paso and in
certain sections of eastern New Mex-
ico." The return to normal business and
industrial conditions is slow but sure.
This year will not be a record break-
ing one nut will be a satisfactory one.
The fittest will survice and in the Ian-;
guage of the Reserve Bank's summary
having "withstood the hardships of a
depression period" and emerged in a
.strong position fundamentally they
will enjoy a largep-voiume of busi-
ness ag the current betterment of con-
ditions generally makes itself felt."
Tom Watson of Georgia has had J
another tilt with Mr. Lenroot of Wis-j
cpnsln in the United States Senate
Mr. Watson averred that Mr. Lenroot
is "the insolent junior Senator from
Wisconsin" and Mr. Lenrpot Implied
that the gentleman from Georgia had

falsified in statements before the Sen-
ate. Just where the quarrel migh
eventually have led the two statesh
men is problematical for the heavy

should confine their remarks to jlan
guage of a decorous character. '
Our guess ia that if Mathilde Mc-

IT IS ANHSSUE
THE " BULLETIN believes that ' the
Voters have a! right 1jp ask candi-
dates for miblic office any questions
which may nave even tuc most rcmuu:
ilieyes that voters lmyc a rigIlt l?
every candidate as to? M3 atmuae to-
ward the Ku Klux Klnn and to demand
that such questions be answpred.j This
right is to be asserted with particular
emphasis we think -on quesitjoning
candidates for state or national offices
which carry with them a great deal
of responsibility as well as great op-
portunity for the exercise of unseen
influences both good-aud bad. j
Why any man who places himself
bfjforc the people as a candidate for
public office should hesitate to answer
questions regarding the Ku Klux Klan
is; difficult of understanding. J3ven if
such questions wore not relevant no
candidate should hesitate to answer;
but such questions are relevant and
the people have-a right to demand an
answer. The KU iuux ivian is a inasK-
i-
ed and hooded organization " whose
membership is secret and unknown.
It professes splendid principles but
. f
no man knows to what degree those
principles are -actually supported or
What sinister influence it maj wield
in both public and " private life. An
officeholder whose allegiance isj pledg-
ed to such an organization will not be
tiis. own master.nor will he jbc the
sprvant of the people. He will be the
pol of the klan sworn 'to favor klans-
men over other citizens and to. protect
the interests of klansmen against all
others. Certainly the people have a
tjight to know' whether their candi-
dates favor or 'disapprove such an or-
ganization. 't The positions of candidates for the
United States Senafer are falijly well
known. Mr. Culberson bitterly op-
poses the klan; Mr. Thomas thinks the
klan should reform or disband; Mr.
busley Is somewhat indefinite but is
Jsuspected of trying to please the
klansmen without offending those who
oppose the klan; Mr.
Henry
is an
avowed champion of the klan; Mr.
Mayfield is known to sympathize with
the klan and declines to announce
positively his attitude toward the or-
ganization. f
Governor Neff has steadfastly de-
iclined to express lijs attitude toward
the klan. Judge Napier of.j Wichita
Falls a candidate for Governor op-
poses the klan and makes it the prin-
cipal issue in his campaign. Mr.
Rogers labor candidate for governor
has not expressed himself as to the
klan so far as The Bulletin has ob-
served. ( r " J
In the congressional campaign' in
this district Mr. Blanton has not ex
pressed his attitude toward the klan
Judge Cunninghanl is not. sufficiently
Impressed with tlie 'seriousness of the
klan menace to recognize it' as an im-
1 i
portant Issue of the campaign. Mr.
Callaway emphatically opposes the
klan. Mr. Albright of Brqwnwood
the fourth candidate in the race is
suspected of definite sympathy for the
klan but has not publicly announced
his stand on the .question.
Before the present campaign is end
ed in Texas every candidate1 is "going
to be "smoked out" on the klan Issue.
i r
If candidates for public office owe-any
allegiance to any; kind of "invisible
empire" the people Jiave a right to
know it and they will insist upon
knowing it. It ia oife" of the biggest
Issues in the campaign' and.it can riot

(By Virginia Remington)
"In giving reasons for buying in
Brownwood in preference to going to
outside merchants we must take into
consideration several factorsT The
business men of Brqwnwood contri-
bute to the municipal welfare of the
city which we call our own by cash
donations to our public utilities col-
leges and public schools. SecondV it
is to the advantage of the whole com-
munity to trade as much as possible
with home concerns jn -order to build
up local industry increase property
valUes and enhance the general value
of the community. The third and perhaps-
best reason lies in the fact that
the greatest Tallies can be had right
here at our own door and there is no
need for foreign trade.
"There is nowhere within the bounds
of. our knowledge a set of more loyal
merchants especially in the matter of.
civic pride and the furtherance of gen-
eral education and morality than in
Brownwood. Our merchants have
built two of the highest ranking col
leges not' only In the state- but in all
the great south. They have " given us
a High school building arid equipment
which is equalled by no tdwn of
Brownwood's size in the whole state.
Churches anH all other charitable as-
sociations are always greeted by -Hie
merchants with open hands and gen-
erous pocket books. Parks streets
sewerage lines water lines and all
the modern conveniences of our large
and populous city are placed at our
disposal and our pleasure largely and
principally through the far-sightedness
and generosity of our merchants. A
due consideration of all these favors
cannot fail to create in us a lasting
qnd favorable impression an iriipres-
sion so deep tfiat it amounts .to a solid
argument in. favor of trading with
home merchants.
"Also every true citizen should he
interested in- the ultimate develop-
ment of our home resources; and cer-
tainly there can be no greater stimu-
lus tp industrial growth and progress
than concentrated . co-Dperation in in-
dustrial affairs.' Every dollar should
be so spent and so .directed into the
channels of our home industry as to

towns as small as Brownwood. Xm-
all the retail houses wholesale nouses
do a steady and thriving" business with
Brownwood as headquarters and there
is a. standing challenge from the mer
chants for any one to show better val-
ues or higher qualities in any foreign
quarter. There Is nollung from a pin
to a locomotive that a man might want
which cannot be bought from home
merchants and at the very lowest pri-
ces for the premium qualities. This
reason alone is an absolute argument
for buying it In Brownwood.
""Then "in consideration of these ar-
gunients. -it is an evident fact tha
there is.no reason for going away from
home to trade; hut there is every pos-
sible reason for buying in Brownwood.
Let us remember those things buy It
