voting time comes it will prove
conclusively that the power of
the press as exemplified by the
I'll Paso Times is waning rapidly.
The Times has lost no oppor
tunity t criticise the I 'resident
h:th by innuendo and bv direct
attack. Typical of the references
made by this paper to the Presi-
dent and his policies is this:
"Our idea of the humorous is the
effort being put forth by the ad-
ministration newspapers to de-
defend the President 's. course in
Mexico." And this: "The Presi-
dent is to take the stump again.
and we vill probably hear some
more glittering generalities about
the Star Spangled Banner ami the
rights of Americans in - foreign
lauds." '
The Kl Paso vision is distorted.
Half its citizenship is Mexican or
of Mexican descent. It can not
give the-Mexican situation the
calm and unbiased consideration
that it must have; . -

When a congressman says that at

! thrown himself "in the path of this
: movement toward militarism"'' in an
! endeavor to justify his opposition to
the president's preparedness recom
mendations he indulges in sloppy
demagogic piffle. But inasmuch as
the so-called movement toward mili-.

THE BAPTIST BANQUET.
AVhen the First Baptist Sunday
.School last night successfully en
tertained eight hundred and
twenty-five of its members and
friends.it set a new mark toward
which many organizations may
strive but which few may attain.
Xo similar gathering was ever
handled in Brownwood and prob-
ably very few have ever heen
held in the South. A crowd of
seven hundred and fifty persons
of all ages seated at banquet
tables is certainly not often seen.
The First Baptist Sundnv
School has more than doubled its
attendance during the past nine
months. This is a remarkable
record yet there is a reason for
this success the same thing that
made possible the wonderful suc-
cess of last evenintr's entertain

. The circular is mailed by Hor-
ace L. Brand president of the
Illinois Publishing company pub-
lishers of a chain of1 five great
German newspapers in the United
States. There may be no signifi-
cance in this fact but there ap-
pears to be something more in
this plan to end the. war than is
apparent- on .the face of the circu-
lar letter. At any rate the Bul-
letin does not believe that the de

tion of a nation endeaVorjng to

lieve a peacemaker should be

lielligerent who "will not withdraw

ance. Three words may bo used
to del me the successful activities
of this Sunday school: Co-opera
tion Organization Determination.
Any organization in whwJi there
is full co-operation among a well
organized membership every in-
dividual of which is determined
to do a little more than his share
of the work will succeed. It has
been proven that this is so in the
case of the First Baptist Sunday
school and time after time it has
been proven true in .the- success
of other organizations. . Without
it there can be no success up mat-
ter how worthy ihe cause my he:

It is this same spirit of optimism
that keeps a large number of candi
dates in the field for the various state
and county offices. Any candidate
will tell his friends without hesita-
tion that he is assured of election
and every one of them knows that his.
chance for success Is very little bet-
ter than that of his oppoent. But.it
does tio harm perhaps for the bel-

in politics to be optimistic for cheer

The State Capitol.
Nearly 500 persons are emploj-od in
the state .capitol at Austin wherein
is preserved the Texas fire escape
law 'effective last May. Meantime
the state capitol is. not equipped with
a single fire escape though two
stairways located at the center
of the structure afford the ohly ex-
it from tho third and fourth floors
occupied by several departments of
Hie government. "Of course" re-
marks the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"the inventory of just how tho 3tate
capitol measures up to safety-first
provisions enumerates other possi
ble -disastrous complications in event
of fire. But tho point is tho state of

it profitable to dispose with the serv-
