In‘writing to a friend here
with request for a “Me Too’*
button for which enclosed a
dollar, John McKinnon of Tu-
cumcari, New Mexico among
other things said that O. Ellis
for some time has been loca-
ted in Amarillo and doing
well, health now fine. This
will be good news to many old
time friends of Lint Ellis.
In a recent election, Pampa
won for county seat of Gray
county and as result things are
booming. The Herald; learns
that Mr, and Mrs. Elo Pohl
who recently removed to Pam-
pa are well pleased with their
new home. Elo is one of plerks
in the post office there.
Texas now ranks as fifth in
population according to estima
tes made by the national ^go-
vernment census bureau. Next
census will be made in 1930
but will hardly change these
estimated figures. By 1950 Te-
xas may take second place,
New York continuing to hold
first place. And when after
next census there is a reappor-
tionment of congress Texas
will gain two members and
have twenty.
A PROTESTANT PLEA FOR
A CATHOLIC PRESIDENT.
Reprinted from The Literary
Digest and The Monitor.
Since there will always be
plenty of protestant Presidents
we ought to.have an occassio-
nal Catholic President, says Dr
Lynn Harold Hough, a Metho-
dist leader who attiacted at-
tention by his wide tolerance
and outspoken views. Dr.
Hough, who is pastor of the
Central Methodist Episcopal
Church in Detroit, has no
fears that a Catholic President
would use his influence to im-
pose his religious views on
the nation, and *belieyes that a
Catholic in the White House
would promote an era of £ood
will, “When a protestant re-
fuses to vote for a Catholic
whose character and abilities
he admits, and with whose
politics he agrees, and makes
that refusal simply because
the candidate is a Catholic,
\ writes Dr. Hough in plaiu talk
(New York,) a new magazine
dedicated to tolerance, "thht
Protestant is not worthy of the
name or the privilege of Ame-
rican citizenship.” We should
be eager to have Catholics
share in public office in pro-
portion to their percentage of
the population, says this Me-
thodist leader, “and we
should not rest quite content-
ed until the time has come
when we can place a high-
minded Catholic, a man of un-
questioned character and abi-
lity in the chair of the Presi-
dent of the United States.” To
those who fear that reaction-
ary legislation would follow
the election of a Catholic Pre-
sident Dr. Hough writes:-
“Personally, I am not inclined
to feel that there is any very
great dange* from the Catho-
lic at this point. Certainly pro-
test antism has made its own
unhappy contribution to the
forces of reaction, and when j
one thinks of men of vast eru- \
dition in the Roman Catholic
Church, like Lprd Action in
England, one is reminded that
this group has produced, right
in the modern scientific situa-
tion. minds capable of most
thorough application of the
scientific attitude.
“The truth is that we must
watch everyone of the groups,
religious and secular, in res
pect to keeping our liberties
secure. None of us can be
trusted with a leadership wh-
ich is not subjected to the in-
spection of very critical minds. |
“The fear that a Catholic1
President would suddenly turn'
the United States into a Ca-
tholic nation need not be ta-|
ken seriousiy. In democracy j
with every citizen in posses-
sion of the ballot such a sug-
gestion is singularly far-fetch-
ed and absurd. The probabili-
is that a Catholic President
would treat the Protestant; ele-
ment in his constituency with
even more consideration than
has sometimes characterized
the action of Protestant Presi-
dents. The suggestions of dan-
ger to our institution and risk
to our intellectuals and politi-
cal religious freedom from the
presence of a Catholic presi-
dent seems to me to be the
wildest sort of vagary.”
In short Dr. Hough would
have a Catholic candidate
measured by the same tests
and standards which any other
candidate vrould have to meet
and says: “If so measured he
is able to qualify for the posi-
tion, let us have no hesitation
in electing him. Nothing will
dp more than to produce an
era of good will. And there is
no wise principle which needs
to be sacrificed/’
There are many favorite
“sons” in evidence now days,
but only one of them will
“shine” in Washington March
4th.

The United States senate by
a vote of 39 to 29 refused to
confirm the nomination ol
John J. Esch of Wisconsin for
another term as member of the
interstate commerce commis-
sion, some democrats and some
republicans voting each way.
Senator Neely, democrat of
West Virginia, declared that
this action of senate “is an em
phatic warning to President
Coolidge that the senate will
not tolerate the packing of
these important commissions
in favor of Pennsylvania or
any other section or in favor
of any particular interests in
the country.” As result of this
action Mr. Esch retires to pri-
vate life after more than 6
years service on this commis-
sion. But the senate should g**
farther and greatly amend the
present law under which this
commission operates, as law
has been found very defective j
and the commissioners assum-!
ing too much authority in ma-|
ny directions, even trying to I
nullify constitutional enact-!
ments of some states.
TN most cases of sickness and accident... First-Aid is best aid. It keeps
1 the-little-hurts from growing into big ones... keeps minor ailments
from becoming major ones...saves doctor’s bills...often save3 life!
Thousands of fatal illnesses... thousands of deaths from seemingly trivial
accidents might have been averted last year by prompt First-Aid measures.
Let us reduce this suffering and loss of life for our own sake and the sake
of others. Even1 intelligent householder has fire insurance. First-Aid is of
even greater importance. Insurance does not save. It merely compensates.
First-Aid saves.
Be ready at ail times with First-Aid material. Go to your druggist today
.. .and fill your medicine chest now. He will help you. He is the man
designated by law to sell you supplies for your medicine chest and Pint-Aid
kits... because he knows First-Aid materials as a |>rofesnotial...not ash jner-
chant alone. He has studied his profesrion from two to four yean in college.
He has passed a State examination comparable to that paswd by
doctor or dentist. He is ready to serve you day or night. His expe
is priceless to you. He deserves your confidence. Two important]
you should do for your welfare and your family 's welfare. . . Keep
