and philosopher said, You can fool
some of the people some of the time
but not all the people all the time.
Again, to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, the
Echo man is mighty well pleased with
the present primary system in Tex-
as he likes a single primary, a dou-
ble primary and would not object to
a triple primary. The Echo man,
Bose Bery, Teddy Bear Harper, Doc
Green, Hoover Bentley, Dr. John E.
Stribling, Buck Marshall, Joe Con-
nor and other members of the Syca-
more Club are getting a little too
aged, feeble and dilapidated to at-
tend an old-time red-hot convention
where they knock ’em down and drag
’em out, but we can still manage to
hobble down to the polls on election
day, get in a booth by ourself and
vote as we please.
That is all, except the Echo man
is also well pleased over * results
qf the first and second primaries in
Texas this year. Hf made an aver
age hatting record of .75Q on all
State candidates in the first primary
and 100 per cent in the second pri-
mary. He has notiiing to kick about,
and really believes Texas is safe and
will be safe for democracy under the
leadership of the men selected to
guide the ship of state during the
next two years.
The present voting system in Tex-
as is hy far the beat and most sat-
isfactory the Echo man ever saw in
the Lone Star State or elsewhere.
The common people rule in Texas
elections and the Echo man is glad
.of the fact that he is one of the com-
mon people, who can’t be voted and
never tries and could not, if he
would, vote the other fellow.

AND THAT’S THAT
(Dunkirk (N. Y.) Observer.)
Did' you ever stop to think that
people read newspapers because they
want them? The newspaper is not
forced on anyone. People pay for it
regularly. Whole families await it
eagerly And quarrel good-naturedly
over it. Each praises and criticizes
the other members of the family.
The newspaper is a definite part of
the family. • That is why its saleS
force is immeasurable. Door to door
handbills are an intrusion upon the
privacy of the home, but the news-
paper is invited in. Its messages are
read avidly and its advertisements
are considered a part of these mes-
sages. The nevifpaper is so definite-
ly a part of> the people, so much an
accepted member of the family that
its pages constitute the finest ad-
vertising medium yet devised.

SHOULD RETAIN JUDGE ELY
One duty which falls to Governor
James V. Allred when he is inducted
into office next January is the nam-
ing of a member of the Texas High-
way Commission. The term of Judge
W. R. Ely of Abilene expires next
year And that he should be re-ap-
pointed to the place he has filled so
well is beyond question. In fact, his
experience in the work should be an
argument in favor of making him
chairman of the commission.
Judge Ely baa shown by his con-
duct of the office that he is broad
minded and influenced by no local
demands when they conflict with the
plan of giviug Texas a co-ordinated
system of real State highways. He
takes the view of the greatest good
to the largest area and his vote has
been in accordance with ha principle
on every quesion that has come be-
^iidcat^andwoe fore the commission in the years he
“— -- ■■ - ....... has been a member. He was appoint-
-ried
from West Texas and that sec-
tioned the State is surely entitled
to representation on the commis-
sion, especially when represened by
ao able a man.
Texas in the next two yearif will
need to do a great amount of work
oh highways, both to give employ-
ment to labor and to make travel
over the State as comfortable ^and
as speedy a* may be, for the visitors
who will come for the ^Centennial
exposition. No uura bettor qualified
than Judge Ely eould -be found to
rit on the commission that wiH have
charge of tide work. His re-appoint-
ment will ensure herasonious work-

DR. GEO. W, TRUETT
PRESIDENT BAPTIST
WORLD ALLIANCE
Dellas, Texas, Sept. 16.—Inter-
nationally recognised for hia great
work in all branches of church af-
fairs, Dr. George W. Truett of Dal
la.'j, Texas, recently elected presi-
dent of the Baptist World Alliance
in Berlin, entered the ministry only
through the strong pleadings of a
small Texas congregation.
Determined from boyhood to man-
hood to enter the legal profession,
this eloquent speaking pastor, rank-
ed among America’s leading preach-
er*, studied law during his spare
minutes from work on his father’*
North Carolina farm only to have
this ambition overwhelmed by church
folk who recognized in him the abil-
ity of an unusual leader for their
cause.
Occasionally in his sermons, near-
ly always heard by overflowing con-
gregations, I)r. Truett refers to his
entry into the ministry nt White-
wright, Texas, a small North Tevas
town, where he moved with his par-
ents from North Carolina while still
a youth.
‘‘One Saturday,” Dr. Truett said
in describing the occasion, “I went
to the church whe_re all our family
were members. After the sermon, a
deacon got up to speak. He began
with generalities, some talk about
the duty of the individual and the
duty that belonged to the group, but

of the
to the]
vately. I had joineU the church at
19; I was willing to be a faithful lay
member, but I had my own plans for
a career. ‘
“I was inexpressibly moved by
these prayers and pleadings, Final-
ly, I proposed that they wait six
months. ‘Wo won’t wait six hours,’
they answered. ‘We are called to do
this thing now, and we are going
ahead with it.’ And so they did. I
was thrown into the stream, and
just had to swim.”
The next day this large framed,
broad-shouldered, blue eyed youth
of a farm couple, whom he describes
as “the two most vital Christians I
ever knew,” was ordained a minjs-
te*
In all of his, addrtees, which are
extemporaneous, the simplicity and
forcefuhieas are striking. In the pul-
pit he preaches for conversions, and
gets them at the close of every ser-
mon. In his regular church services
he averages from 50 to 76 converts
a month. His preaching is markedly
free of the mannerisms, the levity
and the barn-storming method* so
frequently characteristic of evangel-
ism. v
One occasion which Dr. Truett
looks forward to yearly is his camp
meeting with the West Texas cow-
boys, held in the Davis Mountains.
For more than a score of years he
has visited with these men of the
range, and his convert* among them
are numerous. They reverently term
him “our parson.” To their simplic-
ity he pays this glowing tribute:
“The cowboys have taught me
many things, which I gratefully ac-
knowledge—the invigorating quality
of complete frankness, the effective-
ness of direct method, the worth of
simple words and plain speech, and
above all—to shoot straight.”
Chiefly through Dr. Truett’s la-
bora sums amounting into the mil-
lions have been raised for the Bap-
tist denomination. Hi3 first cam-
paign of this soft was in 1891 while
Baylor University, located at Waco,
Texas, was faced with a debt of
$92,000.
Dr. Truett, still in his early twen-
ties, was given the task of raising
funds to pay off the indebtedness,
and within 23 months—months spent
in constant travel by train, on horse-
back and sometimes even on foot—
he raised the needed $92,000.
In a state still sparsely popuiated
he achieved his difficult goal, most
of the contributions coming in sums
of one, two, five and ten dollars. It
was typical of Dr. Truett’s sinceriy
that $600 of his own, hard-earned
money for the education which he
still hoped for, helped swell the total
of his collections.
When his two-year period of trav-
el was over. Dr. Truett enrolled in
Baylor as a student. Eager for study,
he still was faced with the problem
of supporting himself, and accord-
ingly was glad to preach in a small
nearby church which offered him a
salary of $400 a year Before his
four-year course was over, his sal-
ary was raised to $1,000, and in the
meantime he had married.
In the summer of 1897, Just a few
weeks after his graduation from
Baylor, Dr. Truett, now in his 68th
year, was called to the First Bap-
tist Church at Dallas', where he has
served continuously for 87 jrexrs. de-
spite many attractive offers for his
services from many other congrega-
tions . His church now has a member-
ship of more than six thousand, mak-
ing it one of the largest in the Unit-
ed States,
Fo ra number of years the anni-
versary of Dr. Truett’s pastorage
pith the Dallas church has been set
aside as a special occasion to honor
the churchman, and various church
and civic groups pay .tribute to him.
The town was located on the old
Spanish Trail ami the Middle Buster
Highway between Austin and Fort
Lavaca along tjie Guadalupe River.
The first Anglo-American family
to settle here was that of Francis
Berry, who moved* in a few weeks
after the site was selected by Karr.
Along with other early residents, the
Berrys lived in rude cabins hewn
from logs.
Old timers say the depredations
of roving bands of Indians were a
constant source of danger. Stock had
to be corraled at night for protec-
tion against Indians, wolves and pan-
thers.
Early settlers tilled small fields
dose to their cabins. The grain they
raised was ground into flour, either
by hand or at the Clements mill—
the only one in the region. It was
located on Mill Creek between the
present towns of Relinont and be-
gum.
The first flag of Texas was made
at Gonzales by Miss Evalinc DcWitt
and Miss Cynthia Burns.
It onsisted of a width of cotton
cloth about six feet long, in the cen-
ter of which were painted the chal-
lenging words“Come and take it.”
This as the Texans’ dare to enemies.
The flag was mounted on their^
cannon and carried victoriously
across the river at what l* known
today as Santa Anna Ford.
in 1903 a monument was erected
in the Cost community about six
miles south of Gonzales, marking
the spot where the first gunshot in
this battle was fired. The inscription
on the monument, reads: “Here was
fired the first gun for Texa* inde-
pendence, Oct. 2nd, 1935. Erected
by the children of Gonzales City
Schools April 21. 1903.”
One of the oldest Texas newspa-
pers, the Gonzales Inquirer, found-
ed*in 1853, is still being published
daity.

POTENTIAL KILLERS
Texas Farm and Ranch: A person
under the influence of liquor when
seated behind the wheel of an auto-
mobile ia a potential killer. He is just
as dangerous as an armed mjniac at
liberty in a crowd or the worst des-
perado listed amohg our “public ene-
mies.” Yet drunken drivers are ar-
rested daily by our police and our
aourts fine them small, amounts and
set them at liberty to repeat the of-
fense.
We do not know just how far our
laws permit a court to go in assess-
ing punishment for this offense, but
if the punishment now allowed is
not severe enough, the laws should
be changed.
Any person, whoever he may be,
who is found guilty of driving while
under the influence of liquor should
be locked up for a stated period of
time and iu addition he should be
prohibited from driving a motor ve-
hicle not les% than six months. Offi-
cers should not wait until a drunken
driver has been in an accident or
has killed someone before making
pn arrest, hut should arrest the par-
ty on evidence that be is under the
influence of liquor to the extent
that he is deprived of his best judg-
ment.
The overloading of automobiles,
riding on fenders and on running
boards should be prohibited. If such
a law were enforced, fewer .deaths

The “others,” he intimated, may
