YOU can't afford to send out of town for your printing.
Your prosperity depends on the patronage given you by
local people. If you send out of town for your printing you
need not be surprised when local people send away for
goods in your line. Druggists who patronize Dallas print-
ers or grocers who have their bills printed in Galveston
are not loyal to home industries and have no right to kick
when their rightful customers trade in Chicago or St Louis.
THE B1TIXETIN is a local institution uses its columns to
boost local enterprises does not accept the advertising of
mail order houses and will expect the patronage of local
merchants and business institutions giving in every instance
as good work and as low prices as any outside printing house.
Look over your stationery and see how much of it bears
the imprint of a Dallas Fort Worth Galveston or San
Antonio printing concern. 'a

The editor of the Bulletin noted the
lynching of the four men in Oklahoma
last week. The circumstance is most
regretable but its importance does
not lie in the affliction and sorrow of
the families of the victims. It is
admitted that they were bad men that
one of them had killed seven men in
the course of his career. The lynch-
ers would no doubt defend themselves
with the assertion that it was impos-
sible to have justice done by process
of law and iheir objection would be
difficult to answer.

We are offering $300.00 in pemiums for colts
however "farcical" may seem the
grounds on which some cases are sent
back for retrial the probability is that
the judges are acting in strict accord-
ance with the law.
"The lawyers are to blame." That
Is the common cry. The Parson is not
sure that to some extent this is not
true. He thinks that lawyers too of-
ten go into court rather to got a ver-
dict than to see that justice is done.
But they are not altogether nor even
primarily t'o .blame.
The fact is that there is no deep-
seated conviction in the minds of the
people that it fs wrong to take hu-
man life. The I'nrsou has no tatis-
