At a mass meeting held at the
First Me/thodist church at Fort
Worth this week, were made a num-
ber of addresses advising the en-
forcement of the law in that city,
hut one of the most notable and di-
rect to the point, was that of Judge
C. K. Bell, whose opening remark
was: “We are in the midst of a cri-
sis. , Whatever may be your ideas,
everyone must take a stand, espouse
a side, for there are two sides. The
question is, ‘Shall the law be en-
forced, or shall that be left to ev-
«ry individual’s ideas as affeteted by
Ms personal feelings or his finan-
cial interests?’ You surely can noc
subscribe to that- If the law is the
law, enforce it. If it is a bad law,
repeal it.’’ Judge Bell said an es-
sential of good citizenship was obe-
dience to law. Referring to criti-
cism that the “preachers were tak-
ing too much active part in thes
matters,’’ he said he gloried in the
fact the preachers were taking an ] indebted,
active part in this work of creating
a sentiment for law enforcement,
for it was a work for which they
» were, by training and habit, emi-
nently fitted. He could pity a
physical coward, for often that state
or condition was one that was a
Soft of God himself, one the man
could not control, and if that was
true he felt pity, not contempt, for
it was a misfortune for which he was
AFTER THE SUBSCRIBER WHO
TAKES A PAPER AN 1^> RE-
FUSES TO PAY.
The man who subscribes and takes
a paper until he is asked to remit,
and then stops it, saying he did not
subscribe for it, is like the poor,—
always present in all countries,
judgihg from the following ringing
resolutions passed by the press as-
sociation of Middleburg, Pa. Here
they are, for the delectation of the
man in Texas who subscribes for a
paper and refuses to pay, as well as
bhe man in Pennsylvania:
Whereas, There are certain per-
sons who will subscribe and take a
newspaper for a period of several
years and when asked for settle-
ment refuse the paper at the post-
office without paying the publisher
who furnished the newspaper; and,
Whereas, These same people or-
der a newspaper from another pub-
lisher and continue taking that one
until asked for settlement, then re-
fuse the paper at the postoffice
without paying for the same, and so
on keep beating every publisher out
of his money; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the publishers
of -the several newspapers of Sny-
der County, in order to protect our-
selves against dishonest patrons
hereby agree among ourselves and
with each other that when a sub-
scriber refuses a newspaper without
making settlement in full or when
a subscriber fails to make settle-
ment by reason of evident dishones-
ty the name of such person shall
be sent to every newspaper publish'
er in Snyder County, and no pub-
lisher shall send a ^newspaper to
such person until said delinquent
subscriber pays his arrearages in
full to the publisher to whom he is
In urging rtiore good roads, and
still better roads for all Texas, The
Industrial Record says, if the peo-
ple throughout the country could be
made to realize that the building of
roads was simply an investment,
they might be aroused to greater
activity along this line. In every
community where good roads are
found there will also be found a
greater degteg of prosperity, more
comfortable homes, better stock,
newer vehicles, greater men. Good
roads pay dividends to all those who
have the opportunity of using them.
The dividends are not minced off
on a small percentage basis, but are
literally torn off in strips, that re-
duced to a basis of dollars and cents
would stagger the imagination. No
community can afford bad roads.
Many people have things that they
can not afford, and yet it seems
they never find it out. Just how
much of the richness of life is lost
by possessing things we can’t afford
can never be reduced to statistics,
and so the cost of bad roads goes
by without entry upon the industri-
a’ ledger, and to the discomfort of
those who trudge on from year to
year when they might have freedom
and that in quick order.

These resolutions simply hit the
man who is dishonest and will' not
pay, and for no other, and it would
be a good resolution for Texas pa-
pers to adopt. Dishonesty is the
same with a newspaper bill as with
a dry goods or grocery bill.
A number of Texas towns are ma-
king war on people who cast away
waste paper on the streets. As long
as this is done it is impossible to
keep a town presentable. Jacks-
boro, along with many other towns
in Texas has this bad habit and as
a consequence the streets and yards
nearby the square have a very un-
sightly appearance a greater part of
the time.
