BELATED HONOR
The late Newell Dwight Hillis once said of great men, "We
wait until they die and then dig up their bones and raise a mon-
ument to their memory.” Had honors been given the living the
cost would have been less and the results greater.
Emerson said that "great men must create the atmosphere
by which they are to be appreciated."
The sower plants the seed with bended back and the harvest
is reaped, in many cases, by those who toil not neither do they
spin. No man has ever lived long enough to be above the level ____

MRS. ANNIE SCHULL
Graveside services were held
Monday afternoon in Oakwood
cemetery for Mrs. Annie Schull,
86, of Big Spring, who died at
her home after ten days of ill-
ness. Rev. W. O. Bucy officiated
at the service and burial was in
charge of Bratcher-Moore.
Mrs. Schull was born in Gal-
veston Nov. 16, 1866, the daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bartec.
She was married in Denison to
Charles Schull who preceded her
in death. She was a member of
the Methodist church and a char-
ter member of the Rebekah Lodge
of Big Spring.
Survivors include one daughter,
done than the subject himself.
Now that Senator Robert A. Taft has passed from the land
of the living, his works will follow him and some day the critics
may catch up with the atmosphere by which he will be given just
and worthy credit.
Today he is the occasion of many tributes, which if poured
into his ears might have spared him longer for his work. Likely
he died more of a broken heart than an ill-performing blood'
stream.
Living he was the despised man of most labor unions; to
the progressive he was reactionary and a nationalist; to the
democrats he was the bane of their new deal life; to the middle-
of-the-roaders in all walks of life he was of the old guard bent
on pillaging the nation in the interest of carpet baggers.
But now, Taft dead, he is the man to be mourned by the
nation; the subject of men who miss a man when he falls from
the ranks; the topic of editorials of praise; the little gems that
could have been said about him will be dug up from out of the
past and published while his eyes and ears will be closed to it all.
Possibly the philosophy he expressed when the knife, drop-
ped from the hand of an innocent waiter and hit him on the back
which caused Mr. Taft to give expression when the waiter apol-
ogized, was Taft's spiritual support, "Well, that's all right—I am
used to being stuck in the back," was the kind of reasoning he
was able to employ to stave off the barbs that came to him as
he toiled for what he considered was the best for his beloved
country. . , . , .
If heaven needs a man to stand up for what Is right in his
own mind, who is willing to be counted and who believes in the
best thing for the greatest number of people, then Senator Robert
A. Taft from Ohio will be on the job.
While Lavon dam down in Collin may have something in
the way of acreage of water, Denison dam can claim nine times
ever their best Chamber of Commerce figures. After all, a dam
on a stream of water is only relative and when it gets down low
in water behind the dam, all cry out for more water. During
these dry and arid days in Texas a good text might have been
found in the cry of Dives who lifted up his voice and wanted
enough water to his parched lips to cool him off. Even a little
on a finger would help some then for Dives. However, in some
parts of Texas we could hardly muster that much for stock or man.
The reason most towns fail to land those coveted industries
is they go out courting them with trumpet and parades. The
bride and groom who went into the wedding chambers had the
deal closed before the rest of the citizens realized it. We
don't make love to the woman we are to wed like most towns
go after some kind of industry, hence the love making falls flat
and a more subtle suitor takes the girl away from us.
If stiffer sentences would be fastened on the bootlegging
industry in this part of the state, there would likely be fewer cases
in the courts. Paying a relatively small fine for a big line of
business is plain good business for the bootlegger but a quasi-
wink at law violations.

every week in the year until we stop this hazardous manner some

worse than overparking, and how we do go for that kind of
offender! ______
