Vaco Tribune.
V0TLG FOR POSTHASTE KS.
Fifty or more newspapers in Texas
have commented on the following
paragraph which appeared in the
Denison Herald on the same day as
Representative Beall's recent inter-
view was printed:
"Representative Jack Beall favors
the selection of postmasters at pri
mary elections and -we think every
body else will do likewise except
some of the men who are candidates
for the postmasterships."
A percentage of 48 out of a possi
ble 'fifty have agreed with the Her
ald: Says the Corsicana Sun:
"Why shouldn't everybody be in
favor of selecting by primary a dem
ocratic postmaster? We choose our
officers in that way and certainly it
would be just as democratic to select
a democratic postmaster at a prima
ry election as it is to select State
county or city officers in that way."
To which the Houston Post adds:
"We suppose It will be all right to
elect the postmasters but -it occurs
to us that wo have too many elections
afford capital to meet the legitimate
needs of those who farm.
Leaders are needed to Institute re-
form in marketing the products of our
farms orchards and gardens. There
is enough wasted under our present
system of reaching the consumer to
advance such necessities as good
roads better schools and better
homes. And it is the duty of business
men whose success Is largely depen-
dent upon the products of the farm
to render assistance in placing our
marketing system upon an economic
basis.
Let our boyB (and girls prepare
themselves to "become leaders in pro-
ducing and distributing the nation's
wealth. What could 'be more worthy
than a leader among men who would
place the nation's food upon the ta
ble of the rich and the noor at a
profit to the producer and a reasona-
ble price to the consumer? What
could be more desirable than leader
ship that would exalt the farm homes
of this nation and attract and retain
the best intellect and the best talent
to-seek the country home and build up
uie rural community? Farm and

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the
ance of a useful tonic;- but they are :
purely experimental and no one can
say with certainty and no one but a '
quack would say at all that they
would act better in this big country '
than they have acted in little Switz-
erland. "The recall of Judicial decisions
and of the judges themselves has
aroused a good deal of unnecessary
warmth. The fact of human lire that
unchallenged jpower almost always
leads to tyranny would seem to Indi-
cate as the doctors say some form
of regulation of the judiciary but a
strong case on the other side can be
based upon the necessity of maintain-
ing the Independence of the courts.

There will fre friendly relations be-

During the recent campaign the
two leading parties made a great
flourish about the rule of the peo-
ple. Now let the winners keep faith
and allow the people to select their
own officers instead of allowing as
has been done In the past members
