A Real Fighter

Discouraging Criminals
Man Is Selfish
Senator Jim Reed, who says
he leaves the Senate next
March, to practice law, should
chance his mind. Others can
practice law as well as he. Few
can put important troths with
■ emphasis such as his.
- Have you read what Reed
said, denouncing the League of
Nations, in 1919?
“I decline Ur set up any gov-
ernment greater than that es-
tablished by the fathers, great-
er than that baptized in the
blood of patriots from the
lanes of Lexington to the for-
ests of the Argonne, greater
than that sanctified by the
tears of all the mothers whose
heroic sons have gone down to
death to sustain its glory and
its independence. 1 decline to
set up any government greater
than the Government o:‘ the
United Stitts of America.”
Thanks largely to Reed’s
good fighting, the wiahy-wash-
ies did not succeed in dragging
this country into a European
super-government. Such a
man ought to be in public life,
fighting to his last day.
In big cities hundreds of
thousands go for their holiday
in automobiles. A philosopher
said, “Most of the cars are not
paid for. In thousands of cases
they represent money that
might have meant independ-
ence in old age.” ' * ■
The automobiles represent
money spent for health, pleas-
ure and time saving NOW.
Not one in ten is really inde-
pendent in old age, nor was he
before automobiles came.
- Better buy a car, enjoy it,
and use the added health and
time saved to work for inde-
pendence. No car, wisely used,
ever made a man poor.

Johnny Kiibane, former
world’s featherweight boxing
champion, has gone into poli-
tics. He’s evidently tired of
the gentle arts!
Young men in Rome have
been forbidden from serenad-
ing girls at windows or bal-
conies. This edict will prob-
ably be best appreciated' by
Italian music lovers.
No careful reader of the big
city newspapers can not help
concluding that Cupid has
swapped his arrow for a
volver.
Contestants in New York’s
big dance marathon are glad
it’s all over, as they’ve got the
time to go to dances now!
The born optimist is the man
with a cigar lighter who turns
down the oiler of a big box of
matches.
Those Illinois prisoners who
made a dash for liberty cn the
Fourth of July seem to have
carried patriotism a bit too far!
A Cleveland judge recom-
mends that pugilists be hired to
administer punishment to hus-
bands who beat their wives.
The offending husband would
be required to go a certain
number of rounds with the
pugilist. The only trouble with
this suggestion, some believe
is that a modern man who can
beat his wife oughtn’t to have
much trouble cleaning up a
professional pugilist!
Rear-Admiral Bradley
Fiske offers a suggestion
discourage criminals.
The automobile is the crimi-
nal’s “getaway.” He drives
up, robs a store, sboots down
objectors, jumps into his auto-
mobile and is gone.
Rear-Admiral Fiske suggests
that following an automobile
hold-up all auto traffic be stop-
ped in city streets.
“I suggest that the. police
sound three or four whistles,
all policemen hearing it to pass
it along. Traffic would stop,
cars would be searched. Any
man ignoring the signal would
be identified as a criminal.”
On warships, gays Admiral
Fiske. when men get out of
control the bugler sounds “At-
tention!” Every man then
stands where he is, or proves
himself mutinous.
Bolshevism gave peasants
the land, taking it from worth-
less nobles. That suited the
peasants.
Then Bolshevism told the
peasants how much they might
charge for their crops, how
much they must bring to the
cities, etc. That did NOT suit
the peasants. They cut down
wheat acreage, causing dan-
gerous shortage, and Russia is
looking everywhere for cash
wheat, with immediate deliv-
ery, and ships to carry it.

with man's most important
mainspring, which is

Human nature being what it
is, Panama theatres probably

At a Incheon for Senator
Curtis held at East Providence,
R. I., the oratory took up ex-
actly 95 seconds. And yet
there was probably as much
iaid as is usually said at politi-
cal luncheons!
With all the reports of
whisky and champagne
brought tip by divers, it seems
the new quest is for sunken
pleasure rather than sunken
treasure!
TIM INVITED
TOEIM IT
TEXAHMNI CONVENTION
Timpson Legionnaires and
the Timpson band have been
invited to enter an act at the
Saenger Theatre in Texarkana
on Tuesday night, August 28,
to entertain Legionnaires and
their ladies who will be attend-
ing the joint convention of the
Arkansas and Texas depart-
ments of the American Legion
in that city August 27, 28 and
29.
Members of the American
Legion here and Prof. C. E.
Busey, leader of the Tim peon
band, are going to put on an
act of vaudeville or musical en-
tertainment at that time and
Timpson will no doubt be well
represented at this convention.
About ten thousand 'Legion-
naires and their ladies are ex-
pected to be in attendance at
this meet It will be the first
joint departmental convention
ever held in the history of the
American Legion.
The program of entertain-
ment at the Saenger Theatre
in which a number of Legion
posts and bands will take part
will make the “Casino de
Paris” pale into insignificance
in comparison.
The National convention inf
the American Legion will be
held in San Antonio, October
8-12 inclusive, and will he the
biggest convention ever held
in the North American conti-
nent. A large force of clerks
and officials of the American
Legion from the Indianapolis,
Ind., office have been working
day and night since January in
their offices in the Cunter Hotel
In Panama moving pictures in San Antonio, preparing for
the entertainment of between
iOO.OOO and 150,000 Legion-
naires and visitors.

I would like for you to con-

17 years experience as teach-

school to principal of a fifteen-

man of the County Board for
seven years, during which two-
thirds of the new school houses
in the county were built. I
have been sending children to
school for 16 years. This
gives me an experience as a
teacher, as an organize-- and
builder of schools and as a
patron of the schools. No
man who knows me doubts my
qual ideations.

What Congressmen Have
to Say About Judge Box
E. J. Mantooth, ’ °W0’ ^ 19*8'
Attorney at Law, Lufkin, Texas.
Congressman John Box is one of the outstanding members of Congress whom I
have always been glad to emulate. His deep interest in the immigration question,
his fairness as a member of the Committee on Claims, and his devotion to the general
work of the house have always inspired me. Texas will be fortunate to have Mm
continue his service. JOHN McSWEENEY,
M. C. 16th District Ohio.
II.IIM 1.. »
Lufkin, Texas.
Answering your wire reference John Box, desire to say no man in Congraaa
stands higher in the respect, esteem and confidence of colleagues. He is always
on the job and is regarded as Democratic leader on all matters affecting restriction
of immigration. His conscientious work on Claims Committee has saved the tax
payers millions of dollars. Desire to do no injustice to his opponent, but the people
will have to search far to find a more capable representative than Mr. Box.
W. B. BANKHEAD.
M. C. 10th Alabama Dist.
Tullahoma, Tenn., July 17, 1928.
E. J. Mantooth,
Lufkin, Texas.
Answering your wire reciting charges made against Congressman Boa and mak-
ing inquiry, I unhesitatingly denounce every charge as false and directly opposite
truth. Having served with Congressman Box nine years I state without hesitation
that there is no more faithful, patriotic, conscientious, competent member of Con-
gress. There is no more faithful and efficient member of Congress in his Commit-
tee Work or in sessions of the House. In my opinion he has highest percentage of at-
tendance in Committees and House of any member of Congress during same period.
He is recognized as the Democratic leader on matters coming from his committees
and has unqualified confidence of his colleagues, they having learned that he is al-
ways fully informed.and absolutely reliable in all of his statements. While Congress-
man Box is not as voluble5 as some members, yet he frequently speaks In the
House, always with dignity and force, when he ia given close attention tar both sides
of tiie house. Failure to return Congressman Box would be a distinct loss to Con-
gress and the Nation. BWIN L. DAVIS.
Uvalde. Texas, July 18,1928.
E. J. Mantooth,
Lufkin, Texas.
Telegram received replying to queries will say that Judge Box is as fine a type of
American citizen as I know in Texas or elsewhere. He ranks among the best as a
Congressman, and has been diligent and fa ithful hi Committee Work. I think he ia a
valuable man for Texas in Congress. JOHN N. GARNER.
Fort Worth, Texas, July 18, 1928.
Hon. E. J. Mantooth, .....
Lufkin, Texas. .. . . .
Replying to questions in’ your telegram will say that in my judgment Judge Box
has certainly been a faithful public servant.' He has been a leader in Legislation
restricting immigration. He has been active in securing for that district a lion’s
share of river and harbor appropriations and in getting Federal buildings provided
for in two important instances, and in an increased appropriation for a third one.
He has worked diligently on committees *to which he is assigned. He has devoted
his time and talent faithfully to his official duties.

that direction, judging by the
many automobiles headed
that way, and the day promises
‘.o be the greatest iri the history

home-coming, and many for-
mer residents of that section
find their way back to the old

The singing convention will
continue until Sunday night.
Good singers from over the

CONVERSATION
Grenville Kleiser, well-known author and writer, gives
some good advice about talking.
An immense amount of time and energy is constantly
wasted, he says, by useless talking.
Some of the essentials that he mentions for a good conver-
sationalist are ns follows:
The first condition of good talking is clear, well-ordered
thinking. If your thoughts are in confusion your speech is
liable to be non-effective.
Talking should not be a verbal nor vocal contest, but a
mutual exchange of ideas. Monologues are tiresome.
Don’t give advice. Advice costs nothing and is usually
worth what it coats.
Don’t exaggerate. It is easy to let your desires and feel-
ings overcolor your views. Give the impression of under state-
ment rather than over statement and what von say will have
more effect
Keep your voice low. A low voice is not only an excellent
thing in a woman, qa Shakespeare says, but it is good for any-
body. Many people are trying to talk to. because they conv
stantly bawl so loud. They drown out their opponent with
sound.
Don’t tell unduly long stories. Don’t make a reputation
for being a “funny” man. This will put yon in the class of
lightweights. Stories are like seasoning or salt They should
be very judicially intermingled and it is easy to get too many
of them.
Don’t relate lengthy personal experiences. A thing may
be interesting to you because it is about yourself, but it is usual-
ly boresome to other people. Don’t be impatient. When you
observe that your listener does not wish to be convinced change
the subject
Speak clearly- Do not mumble.
Conversation is more than idle exercise or ornamental
superfluity. Its purpose is to keep the other party amused and
interested. It is the wire upon which runs the current of your
electric personality.
If yon don’t know how to talk, learn. Devote a certain
part of your time to intelligent and diligent practice ia the art
of smail talk. It pays.
