IT IS COMING?
There is no question but that the rapacity of the trusts is
bringing upon them the consequences of their evil doings. There
is not a doubt but that they are beginning to reap the whirlwinds
from the sowing of the winds which has been a prediction for
many years. They have gone just about as far as public senti-
ment will go with them. There is nojiope though that mere fines
or occasional imprisonment will stop their greed for these
can be met by heaping additional burdens upon the ' people who
have been footing the bills. A sentiment will be created for a
complete revision of our tariff system to conform more to the
. ideas of of the democratic party for the trusts have all been
fostered under the protection of high tariffs. There is another
reaction that seems almost inevitable and that is in the adjust-
ment of the labor problems. In California as an illustration the
labor organizations taking advantage of the - disasters caused by
earthquake and fire and of the demand for more men than could
possibly be supplied have steadily advanced the wage scale and
. decreased the hours until improvement is almost at prohibitive
cost There is such a thing as killing the goose that lays the
golden egg and organized labor in many instances has the old
fowl on its last legs. Between the squeezing of the trusts on
the one side and of labor on the other the man in the middle is
-having a hard time of it When the blood in him begins to become
exhausted both of these must fail for lack of sustenance. Many
students of economic conditions think that the time is close at
hand and that labor must from necessity become cheaper. James
J. Hill says "It would not be surprising if we heard the rattle
of empty dinner pails. There will be two jobs for three men in-
stead of three jobs for two men and the day laborer will be satis-
fied to get thirty or forty per cent less." Mr. Hill says that this
relaxation will be a healthy one and not a panic for things must
adjust themselves to conditions. There is no pessimism in this
view of things for it must be the inevitable final settlement of
our abnormal conditions which have been brought about by the
exactions of the trusts and which will be rightly settled with
their undoing. In some quarters it is feared that this readjust-
ment which close students nearly all foresee will result in at
least temporary financial panic but many take the optimistic
view that the widespread distribution of wealth among the peo-
ple will enable themSto avoid a panic now whereas a few years
ago the concentration of the wealth of the country in Wall street
and its powerful allies would have made panic certain under a
similar readjustment of conditions. It is an interesting study
from whatever point it is viewed.
THE NECESSITY FOR STUDY.
There is a strange sort of fatality that .requires work of
every individual. The minuteone quits working iust that minute
does vhe begin to retrograde. There is .no development without
constant labor. No country ever amounts to anything unless the
greatest energy is put into it When the energy is exhausted
the country immediately starts backward. This is true of the
growth of towns and of individual business enterprises. Every
newspaper man has witnessed the final undoing of dozens of bus-
iness men who have concluded that they were well enough known
to dispense with the ordinary efforts required to obtain business.
They quit hustling quit advertising and await the results which
can always be safely predicted by observant students and that re-
sult is always ultimate failure. The student who quits his
studies soon becomes a mental bankrupt and it matters not how
old he may be when he decides to quit. The mental faculties
requires constant working to producerresults. The minister who
concludes that his old sermons are good enough and that he need
not trouble himself to work up new ones soon loses his hold on
his congregation. He must be a student if he would instruct.
The newspaper man who would get out such a paper as the public
demands must give time to study in order that he may do it. He
must read current literature and study current problems closely
if he would write interestingly. After a time it becomes easy to
sit down and grind out copybut the discerning readers can soon
tell whether any thought has been put into the work just as the
church goer can tell whether the preacher has studied his subject
or has depended on the inspiration of the moment to entertain
his congregation. Whatever you do if you would continue to
succeed you must continue to work.

The state school apportionment in Texas this year is
$6.00 per capita and this added to the county and city taxes ought
to give every child in Texas an opportunity to get the advantage
of a sood term in school. In conversation with a citizen from a
country district in Kentucky the Bulletin editor was told that the
total school per capita in his district from every source available
amounts to $3.40. Think of the additional advantages enjoyed
by the children of Texas.
It is a bit dusty but the public is entirely welcome to drive
out to Riverside Park at any time and take a. look at the possibil-
ities of the place when.it is put in proper order. It will be beau-
tiful almost beyond conception. You might also drive down the
river from the park and see the new dam as completed. The city
council is very proud of that piece of work and should be for it
will settle the water question in Brownwoodl for some time to
come.
This would be a good time for the property wner to get
figures on that cement sidewalk so much needed around his residence.

It does not take a sensible man to give good advice but it
does take a sensible one to accept it
Brownwood is going into the building of that dirt road to
Rising Star in a way to convince the people of that country that
we want their business and want it enough to put up the road to
secure it
Every visitor who is shown the colleges in Brownwood and
also the interest taken in publie schools is tempted to go back
home and arrange to movehere. There is nothing else that ad-
vertises our town so well.
The building of that dirt road to Rising Star does not mean
that Brownwood has despaired of securing a railway to Cisco.
This town is still tieing its faith to Giles Connell's ability to ac-
complish the thing that he undertakes.
One of the Bulletin's subscribers in another state writes:
Such a paper asltheJBulletin deserves a city of 50000 people."
That tallies with our ideas and is the point to which the Bulletin
is now working but the Bulletin will improve right along with
the city too.
In a very short time the first survey will be made in the line
from Waco to Brownwood and if the Bulletin is not a poor guesser
the work will begin on the line pretty soon after the survey is
completed and adopted. The citizens all along the route are most
eager for this important rail connection.
No man or woman no matter how rich or great titled or pre-
sumptious has any vested rights when the violation of certain
rules are concerned. It matters not how much money they
possess how much they contribute to the church society or any
institution. No person old or young rich or poor has any ex-
emptions when the question of right or wrong is concerned.
There is a certain moral law a law of decency and right living
that no king or millionaire is strong enough or powerful enough
to make right in the sight of God and just men. If one person
is given certain rights socially and religiously that the entire
community does not engage in then a grave and unpardonable
wrong is committed. The Doorpst man in the community has as
much right to engage in social debauchery as the richest All
men should stand alike just and upright Titles money and
place are no guarantee from wrong doing. Georgetown Commercial.
While this should be true there are times when wealth does
serve as a panacea for the wrongs of men. It is to the discredit
of our country that it is generally believed that it is harder to
convict a rich man of wrong donig than a poor man and society is
inclined to overlook many of the faults of the wealthy. It is
wrong but nevertheless it is so.

Prof. A. E. Bat en.
Howard Payne College has
eleoted our general missionary
A. E. Baten professor of Biblioal
instructions in that school and
he has accepted. Thus two of
our ablest and best general mis
sionaries go into the school work.
Brother Baten had every qualifi
cation for a general missionary
forceful taotful orderly far-see
ing a strong preaoher an inspir
ing presence on toe neid and a
master in the realm of Biblical
teaohing.
In his new work he will have a
wide and fruitful field for his
abilities. As in the oase of
President Wolf his connection
with the State mission work in the
capaoity of a general missionary
will be of special value to his
sohool work and his school work
will be peculiarly valuable to the
mission work. The. sohool work
and the midBion work are inter
(looked or rather they are the
i two sides of the same thifig.
Prof. Baton's wide acquaint-
ance of the field reached by How.
ard Payne College will b of
muoh service to the oollege.
Besides it ought to count for
much that he will carry into his
new work the intense mission
spirit which one gets by doing
mission work on many fields.
We do not believe our beloved
and faithful fellow soldiers Baten
and Wolf are at all lost to the
State mission work. We Bhall
oount on them fully in the work
of upbuilding as every sohool
may oount on the State mission
forces for all possible help. Mis-
sionary Worker.

Men Past Sixty In Dancer.
More than half of mankind

from kidney and bladder die
orders usually enlargement of
prostate glands. This is both
painful and dangerous and
Foley's Kidney Cure should be
