OH, YOU GALVESTON
BEACH.
An under current of op-
pressed excitement prevails in
the Banner-Press office, for ev-
ery member of the force, from
the dignified proprietor to the
dirty-faced devil, is seriously
considering taking a vacation of
one day and spending next Sun-
day in Galveston. In case that
vision of a perfect day comes
true, our subscribers are
warned in advance not to expect
much of a paper on the follow-
ing Monday; in fact, the editor
pro tern is thinking of making
the sacrifice and stayitiK at
home in order that we may have
a paper at all.
Oh, what aro the sad sea
waves saying? The writer
spent a few days at Galveston-
by-the-sea recently, and what
they say in sufficient to lure
thousands of unfortunate in-
land dwellers to the beach, Gal-
veston's greatest attraction.
Times do change to a cer-
tainty! A few years ago no
lady would venture t.o wear a
bathing suit that failed to have
a skirt modestly covering the
the knee, this same skirt, being
met by stockings, no area of
bare skin being visible between.
Hut farewell to the modest
maiden of ye olden time. Mod-
em girls who throng the beach
at Galveston and occasionally
take a change on spoiling their
appearance by taking a dip In
could easily carry one of their
bathing suits in your coat pock-
et without disturbing the set of
the garment.
Imagine tights, no other word
can express it, of bright yellow,
pink or green jersey, fitting the
body closely and terminating
about ten inches above the
knee, a lengthy expanse of bare
skin being exposed to the public
gaze. Some of the girlies wear
cute little socks, supposed to be-
long only to tiny children, while
others go barefoot, as well as
barelegged, bare-armed, and
bare-necked. But'they all have
a good time strolling on the
beach or frolicking In the surf,
so what's the difference.
LatV» All go to Galveston and
s«m> the sights!

are cruel

Anyhow, molasses draws more
ants than vinegar. -Jfate Pre»»

ANOTHER ELECTION LAW
DEFECT.
Members-elect of the legisla-
ture and citizens generally
should note the campaign ex-
penses of the candidates, espe-
cially the local candidates. No
other feature of the Terrell
election law illustrates its gen-
eral unworthlness.
One defeated candidate in
Harris county expended more
than $1300, $600, of which was
assessed against him for pri-
mary election expenses.
All these assessments are out-
rageous. No candidate should
be assessed for election expens-
es.
The State or the counties
should pay the expenses of the
election. The public is the
chief beneficiary of elections,
not the individual who olfers
his services to the public.
The rule that a man can't be-
come a candidate and have his
name on an election ticket un-
less he puts up anywhere from
$10 to $fi00 is little short of
atrocious and violates every
principle of democracy.
It we must retain the prima-
ry election system, then the
Stale ought, to do the fair and
reasonable thin# and pay for
the elections out of public mon-
eys and not saddle this heavy
burden upon men unable to bear
them.
Candidates should be re-
quired neither to impoverish
themselves in order to offer for
office nor yet to accept financial
assistance from friends or oth-
ers.
This is merely one of the ab-
surdities of this idiotic statute.
It ought to be repealed outright,
and a simple, sensible, brief and
comprehensible statute ought to
be enacted in its stead.—Hmix-
ta n Pout.
A GOOD JOB.
COERCING BOND R^YERS.
Corslcana Sun: President
Wilson is opposed to coercion on
who could buy in thousands
the part of committees solicit-
ing the sale of liberty loan
bonds, or doing any kind of war
work. Of course the president's
position is correct. Don't take
the law in your own hands.
Don't attempt to inflict corporal
punishment on anyone and, let
ua add, it will be found to be
profitable to refrain from aid-
ing in the circulation of idle ru-
mors.
T^ie president wishes every
loyal American to subscribe to
the war fuijds. Enonfious sums
must be raised, and the man
with $60 must, buy one bond
just as the man Will $1,000,000
must btjy in proportion. But
Mr. Wilson does not favor co-
ercion in this matter. He does
not favor ostracism for those
who, for any apparently legiti-
mate reason, or any reason that
appears to them to be legiti-
mate, fail to take as many bonds
or war stamps as their neigh-
bors believe they should take.
Of course, there are to every
hard cases
buy only in the bun-
t It may be necessary to
their duty upon these in
Quite a remarkable piece of
work has been done by Charles
H. Abbott, a Dallas man, as
manager of the campaign of
Hobby for governor.
The work seems to cover the
whole state, has drawn to its
service some of the ablest and
best speakers and writers in
Texas, keeps in close and help-
ful touch with newspapers, big
and little, has overlooked no
telling point or persuasive ar-
gument, and generally has been
so effective that the few delud-
ed or ecilly disposed men who
are hacking Ferguson here or
there are hesitant about ap-
pearing publicly as his sponsors.
It is very largely the person-
al ability of Abbott which has
brought about this result, and
makes as certain as any politi-
cal forecast can be the over-
whelming defeat of Ferguson.
It is his first experience in this
line of activity.
His reward will be incom-
mensurate with his service to
the people of the State. He will
find it chiefly in the conscious-
ness of a big job well done.—
The Dallas IHapateh.
Young ladies, the Red Cross
needs nurses who will enter
training schools at once. Do
your part—enlist now and se-
lect the place that you would
like to enter and fit yourself for
the work of taking care of the
wounded soldiers who need at-
tention. Any young lady over
nineteen years can enlist. Who
will be the first?
said a successful farmer—
"Smith Form-a-Trucks have brought
my farm two hours nearer town ana in
doing a/way with horses I added six men
to the fields — the plaa
where I need them most."
Every Smith Form - a •
Truck in your service elim -
inates two or three teams.
Moreover, feed costs Jour
times as much as gasoline.
