“The very best literature descriptive of Or-
ange that could be sent out to prohjteetive
homeseekers,” remarked a business man tlie
other day, “would be the daily issues of the
Leader. The town ought to subscribe for a
liberal number of the papers to be mailed out
regularly to a selected list of names. In this*
way these people could see day by day what
was being done in Orange and would be more
favorably impressed than by receiving an oc-
casional special edition or descriptive pamph-
let.” We heartily agree with him and would
be glad to see the proposition taken up, not
from a selfish standpoint, but because we really
believe that the town would benefit thereby.—
Orange Leader..
The American has delivered several sermons
on this text, but people who desire to encourage
development in the South still stick to the pret-
ty railroad folders, the special edition, the book-
let with fine engravings and the building of a
southern temple in Washington. When the dif
ferent commercial congresses and boards of
trade go after the settlers right they will fill
Louisiana with them by the trainload, just as
they have been going into the Canadian north
west. The people of the central west are not
prejudiced in favor of the British flag, but the
land agents who are interesting them certainly
know their business.—Lake Charles American.
The local newspaper is a fair index to what
a community is doing. 11 -is the daily or weeklv
record of all that’s transpiring, and it is the
record that counts for good or ill. In this con-
nection the following has {>ertinenee:
I>c J*eon, Texas, May 19, 1909.—Waco Pub-
lishing Co., Waco, Texas. Gentlemen: I am
enclosing herewith N. Y. draft, for $1.00 and I
want you to send us the Sunday Times Herald to
the following address: Dr. W. S. Miller, 314
East Coffee street, Greenville, S. C. This is a
relative of mine and I want him to get a good
Texas paper. Yours very truly, ,J. Doss Miller.
The man at De Leon has got the idea; the
good Texas paper is the best advertisement for
Texas.
“After all,” says the Harrisburg Independ-
ent, “it is advertising that makes the world of
commerce move, that promotes industrial, com-
mercial and social progress. No business can
expand without it, and the better it is the surer
the expansion. A campaign of advertising has
never failed to achieve the results desired. Cali-
fornia has always been among the best adver-
tisers. Some years ago only a small quantity
of wine from that state was consumed or bought
anywhere east of the Rockies, because "it was
not generally known that it was of good quality
and cheaper than inferior grades of imi>orted
wines. An advertising campaign changed all
that, and now California wines in large quanti-
ties are need everywhere in the Unites] States.”
Because they are convinced that Iowa news-
papers offer the best medium of letting the peo-
ple know about, the attractions of fair week, the
directors of the Iowa state fair decided to
spread very little “paper” on billboards and
instead make more extensive use of newspaper
eolmnns in advertising the big show this year
than ever before. “We experimented last year
with newspaper advertising as compared with
billboards,” said Secretary John Simpson. “The
results were so successful that we have decided
to cut out billboard advertising almost entirely.
Instead we will use the Iowa newspajiers,
which we have proved to be the one best l**t in
the publicity line.”
To slight the local new*paj>cr; to fail to send
it here, there and everywhere teeming with bus
iness is to miss the best method for pushing
the community and its concerns.—Waco Times-
' Herald.
continually- lor new
customers.
The contestants have all labored earnestly and
faithfully. The prises offered were valuable
and desirable, and the incentive to determined
and persistent effort was great.
The Leader is grateful to every contestant for
the splendid work done and we wish it were
possible to award a prize to every one of them.
Intense interest has lieen taken in the contest
by ihe many friends of the various contestants
and by many people to whom none of the con-
testants were personally known.
It will be the aim of the management of the
paper to make the Leader brighter and lietter
than ever and thus permanently hold the very
satisfactory circulation now enjoyed.
To this end we invoke the assistance and co-
operation of ever}’ subscriber. We want you to
make frequent use of the telephone to advise us
of any matter of interest for the news columns
of the pajier. We want you to feel that this is
the people’s paj>er and as such make use of it.
We want the paper to Ik; a factor for good in
the development of Orange, and we want the
assistance of every subscriber in making it so.
PLEA FOR THE ICE MAN.
A lady, who is a subscriber and constant
reader of the leader, this morning called up the
editor and said she wanted to put in a plea for
the ice man.
“We all have some complaint to make at
times about the service given us by the ice
man,” she said, ‘‘but, as a rule, we get satis-
factory service and we ought to realize that the
drivers are doing the best they can. But we
ought to resolve to make our purchases of ice
for Sunday consumption on Saturday and thus
make it unnecessary for the ice wagons to have
to-run on the Sabbath day. As it is now, the
ice man is worked harder on Sunday than any
other day. We could prevent this if we would
and I am going to take up the matter with my
neighbors and ask them to join me in a move
merit to buy our Sunday supply of ice on Satur
day and thus help the ice man to observe Sun
day without having to labor all day.” I
This is a very commendable stand 14 take, in-
deed, and we congratulate the lady ujxm her
thoughtfulness. We are quite sure that no one
would appreciate a movement of this kind any
more than the ice man. And it would 1h* a very
easy matter to accomplish. In fart, we are
quite sure that, if necessary, the ice plant wouh
arrange to send its wagons out for later de
liveries on Saturday to supply their customers
and obviate the necessity of delivering ice on
Sunday.
The Leader joins heartily in the movement
and will he pleased to have suggestions from
other patrons along this line.
Philadelphia, May 24. — Knights
Templar to the number of several
thousand arrived here today to take
part in the fifty-sixth annual con-
clave of the Grand Commandery. Sev-
eral receptions were held during the
day at the varioua halls and hotets
and the visitors were extended the
glad hand by the local' members of
the order.
This conclave has brought to Phil-
adelphia the largest Masonic'gather-
ing ever assembled here. The grand
master of the Grand Encampment of
the United States, the grand com-
manders and their staffs of many
states, together with a large number
of the leading cotnmanderies of Now
York, New Jersey, Maryland and the
District of Columbia, will participate
in ihe three days’ festivities.
Tomorrow will be the day of the
Knights Templar parade. The route
will be confined exclusively to Broad
street, countermarching on South
Broad street with the bands massed.
Between 6,000 and 7,000 Knights
Templars are expected to,,take part in
this demonstration and it is believed
that no less than eighty command-
erics will be in line. In the evening a
grand ball of the Knights Templar
will be held in (he armory of the Sec-
ond Regiment, N. G. P., on Broad
street, above Diamond.
Wednesday will be the (lay when
the new grand officers of the Grand
Commandery of Pennsylvania, who
will be fhosen at the session to be
held Tuesday afternoon, will be pub-
licly installed, probably in the Acad-
emy of Music.
A civil service examination for rural car
riers has been announced to lie held in ()range
early in June for the purpose of‘securing eli
gihles for appointment as carrier and substitute
for the rural route to be established here on the
first of July, but Postmaster Seargent advisee
that not an application has yet been filed. The
rural caYrier on this route, which will be opera!
ed only half time, will he paid $468.00 for the
first year, with an increase after that. He must
be a resident on the route and must have lives
on the route for at least twelve months. No
one in the city is eligible. It is to be bopec
that some applications will be filed before the
time set for the examination, so there need be
no delay in getting the route started.

Who said the Leader failed to get results'
An editorial in Saturday afternoon’s paper toh
of the great need for rain in Orange and before
the paper had l>een off the press forty minutes
a downpour came that brought joy to the hearts
of rice farmers and truck gardeners.—Orange
Daily leader.
The Courier-Times would he glad for the edi-
tor of the Leader to lend us his rain making
rabbit foot. We need a little shower in this
section just at this time.—Tyler Courier-Times.
We would like to accommodate you, but,
really, we believe every fellow ought, to stick
to his own territory, and we are a little bit
afraid to trust our rain making rabbit foot that
far away from home.

DECIDES LAW INVALID
Authorities Can Not Search A
Place For Liquor.
Austin, Texas, May 22.—What
from
is
known as the "Search and Seizure
Act" pasted by the Thirtieth Legis-
lature to make the liquor business
more restrictive in local option dis-
tricts, was declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme yOntrt today in the
ease of J M AJwfbce rt ab
Brown county
The main ground upon which the
court held the act unconstitutional
is that the , writ authorized by law
confers authority upon a sheriff or
constable to enter and search not
only such place "as the affiant ha*
reason to believe that the party nam-
ed has secreted liquor kept for sale,"
hut also to enter and search "any
place” where the affiant believes any
such person has placed or secreted
any such liquors. The court holds
that this is in plain violation and
contradiction of the bill of right*.

Over the Announcement of Reduc-
tions in Freight Rates.
Spokane, Wash., May 22.—Shippers
in Spokane and throughout the trade
zone in eastern Washington and Ore-
■gon, northern Idaho ami western
Montana are gratified over the an-
nouncement that reductions in west-
ern freight rate* will be made by the
Hill and Marriroan system* in the
re adjustment of the commodity sche-
dule* applying from Chicago and
points cast of the Missouri river
This is in accordance with instruc-
tions by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the Spokane rate case,
started twenty years ago, when the
shippers gamed a hare victory. This
was upset later by the federal court
ruling that the commission had ex-
ceeded it* authority in directing rate
reductions for this city A, W Po-
land, president of the Spokane Mer-
chants’ Association, say* the recent
decision in the Spokane ease is pre-
cedent for every city irt a similar p«>-
«itton. which has been forced to pay j
high rates because of the contention j
of the railroad* that the rate to an j
intermediate point should be the J
roast rate phis the local rate back j
in all instances where the commodity
