It is important that every voter in the
city mm his prerogative in the election to-
morrow. If you are entitled to a vote and
do not go to the polls, then whatever may
occur in the affairs of the city, whether
k be to your liking or not, should never
be mentioned by you.

Probably never in the history of Pecos
did she need a mayor with business ex-
perience and acumen as this time. There
are now before this body matters of grave
importance, not only to the town, but ot hte
«ounti as well, which should have the at-
Wemtion of a strong, experienc ’d business
Go to the polls tomorrow and help
elect just such a man as this for your
or “forever hold your peace.’*
[ %
All those who have the best interests
of the towa of Pecos City ht heart, and
•v who have a right to vote by virtue of hav-
ing paid their poll tax should go to the
polls tomorrow and cast their vote for
* the men of their choke. That choice
should not be made because of a perso nal
f interest or personal prejudice, but for the
' man whom you brfieve down deep in
your heart will best serve the interests
of the town and its people as a whole.

Complaints are being turned in to the
* San Antonio police by women that are
? being annoyed by “Peeping Toms.” For
* the love of the Lord: After we remember
k bow entnmctBgly liberal fashions have
-been for the last few years, how every
card in the deck has been laid on the
*• table, and the public invited to feast up-
the bare facts—we are constrained to
* wonder what more a “Peeping Tom” ex-
pects to see through a window than he
" has already seen upon • the streets. He
be a hog—and a rasorback, at that.

Real men only get true happiness when
they are helping their fellow man and not
when they are trying to “soak” him.
Just the exact nmowint of money col-
lected frorrf the people in taxes for the
town of Pecos City is not known by the
Enterprise but the sum total runs up in-
to the thousands. From time to time the
Enterprise has suggested that for the
benefit of those wbo pay taxes as well as
for the protection of those who spend the
money, a statement of the collections and
expenditures should be published occasion-
ally. The public is entitled to know just
how their money Its being spent and for
what. The public wculd more willihgly
pay these taxes if hey knew just how and
for what the money is spent.
Several heavy tiixpayers have suggested,
to the Enterprise that those running for
any city offices should commit themselves
on this proposition or be voted against,
i It has also been suggested that City
officials—those wlio are delegated to ex-
pend our money—should also be taxpayers.
Pecos citizens ha're too long been lax in
its choice of men who govern its affairs
in this respect. Those who pay taxes
are the ones who should spend it, and
not one who dots not own property in
the town and yrhose principal interest in
same is the job he holds. Let's start now
to put the affairs of Pecos City on a
business basis.

DISCUSSING YOUTHFUL PRODIGIES
Young men anil boys must, when grown
to full maturity, take the reins of govern-
ment but until tlliey become mature, it is
a dangerous policy to make them our
leaders. In no case is even a young man
the equal of a man oif mature age; it takes
experience and mature minds of men to
handle propositions of responsibility and
no mere boy siaould be entrusted with
the affairs of our government until he
has attained the sge where his good, soun^i
judgment has pi •oven his business ability'
in more cases than one. In speaking of
youthful prodigies the Publishers’ Auxil-
iary has the fcllowing to say which is
to the point as well as sound logic:
“Youthful prodigies have excited tbe
wonder and interest of people for all ages.
Reduced to tbe last analysis the feeling
is caused fay ti»e presumption that if a
youngster is as smart as that at such an
age he will be a wonderfully fine man.
Unfortunately few* prodigies develop into
geniuses, but usually do grow into solid
citizens in almoit every case, barring those
in which too much study or application
breaks down the health during the tender
years.
For several months a great metropoli-
tan paper has been featuring a star re-
rter, aged fourteen, named Horace
It calls him a star reporter and
tells its readei's he is a wonder. This
month a Southern weekly was got out by
a boy a yeay younger, all of the work be-
ing done by him. We extend congratu-
lations to the parents of both boys. It ^ „
shows they are bbyrs with alert minds aiwT
the future he Ids out rosy promises to
both of them.
However, one post reduce the* thought
to its real situation. The hoys are not
the equals of the own of mature age who
are filling the same space. Boys are imi-
tators, at that age, and lack the construc-
tive though oir thmr elders. There is an
old proverb, "we are all captains in fair
weather," and many other boys, with the
training of these two youngsters, can re-
produce the lesults of their elders for a
time, but for a limited time only.
“Give them the hard problems of the
country or city editor; place a subject
before them that requires judgment bas-
ed on the ex perience of years and where
would thy airive?
If all of tie worked at the full strength
of our mindu all! the time it would be
impossible for such bo/3 to step in and

YOUNG MAN! YOUNG WOMAN!
HERE IS THE PROOF!
A few extracts from letters of promi-
nent business men who * have had proof
as to the ability of our students:
First National Bank of Oranjge, Texas,
writes: “We are pleased to advise that
Mr. Jim Miller is highly regarded by us
as to character and integrity and is now
one of our tellers. He started with us as
a bookkeeper and late/ was promoted to
a teller position. The service he is giv-
ing is entirely satisfactory and we believe
that he is an asset to this institut ion,”
Norton Wheeler Stave Company of Pine
Bluff, Ark., writes: “Miss Marjorie Law-
rence is doing all right and her work is
satisfactory. She is writing this letter to
you.” .
Wisconsin and Ark. Lbr. Co., of Mal-
vern, Ark, writes: “Mr. Clifton has been
employed in our office since the time he
left your Institution and we are pleased
to say that he has developed intfe a first
class office man and is doing good work.
He was recently, promoted and his salary
is now $175.00 per month."
State Bank & Trust Co, of San Marcos,
Texas, writes: “Mr. Maurice Waldrop is
most satisfactory in all respects. He is
fast, accurate and dependable. We have
raised his salary from time to time.”
First National Bank of Corsicana. Tex,
writes; “Mr. Ghas. Croft is in our em-
ploy and we are very much pleased with
his work.”
City National Bank of Beaumont, Tex.,
writes: “Messrs. M. S. Murchison, Hall
Moore, Oliver Graham, Deele Etheredge
and Robert Jones, former students of your
Institution, are employed here and we take
pleasure in advising that these gentlemen
ate all giving entire satisfaction, and we
consider it to be both a privilege and a
Measure to have them in our employ."
rat Mart Co, of El Dorado, Ark,
writes: “Miss Abbie Mixon is now in our
employf Her services have been entirely
satisfactory with this company and we
think she is a good stenographer,”
Following are the names of some of the
many prominent people who have visited
our school and their comments. Many
of these men have given free lectures to
the student body:
Ghas. B. Goddard, Community Service

tution of its sort that I have ever seen."
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Warmaa, Salesman

Acting Governor Davidson speaks rather
plainly when he says that mob violence
must stop in this-state, and he talks like
he meant it. In fact, he has backed up
his statement with an offer of five hun-
dred dollars reward in a recent mob case,
in which a man was shot down J>y a mob
of men who have not yet been apprehend-
ed. Governor Davidson says that /'men
must learn to rely upon the law as so-
ciety’s protector and avenger. If its arm
is not long enough, it must be lengthened,
arid its judgment made more swift and
certain. The surest way of securing this
end is to let the public know that the law
is its proper and only recourse.” The
masked mob is the most dangerous of all
species, and should be put down. If the
present laws are not strong enough, and
we believe they are if properly applied,
then make them stronger. Mob law has
uo {dace in this or any other state.”—

LETS CREATE A FAVORABLE
IMPR1SSSION ON SETTLERS
To the Editor of the Enterpsue:
The people of Texas desire that their
State should develop and progress. We
need capital to develop our vast resources,
and sturdy iiettlcrs to produce our crops
and work our industries. In order to ac-
quire this cutsiie capital and desirable
citizens, we mart invite them and show
our hospitality when they come. But
Texas has been advertised all over the
country in u very unfavorable light. Gov-
ernor Neff* rej>ort, which stated that a
thousand murders were committed in Tex-
as law yeai, and the increasing | number
of shootings reported in the daily papers,
are causing desirable citizens to turn away
from our State. Texas, also, is advertised
as the stronghold of an organization which
is reputed to favor and patronise only those
who belong to its own secret society.
This, too, is keeping away place loving
settlers, who f«*r the secret plottings of
this organisation; and men of capital will
not risk tftimar investments in a territory
where they might be secretly boycotted
or ostracised because of their religious
beliefs or tiieir political affiliations.
Here in Pecos wo are all working for
the Red Eluff project. We realize that
the building df that reservoir will insure
fm ear to'vn of Pecos a steady and per-
manent development and prosperity. It
will bring a good class of settlers into our
country, a ho will buy their lands and
build their homes here. They will become
interested in die progress of the town and
will patronise and encourage our public
institution*! and work for their success.
We must net allow any unfavorable re*
ports of nice hatred or religious prejudice
to reach the knowledge of prospective
settlers. We want desirable settlers and
outside investors to come here to develop
our resources. We have a fertile soil
along the river, and a sunny climate to
insure a pleasant living. Favorable ad-
vertising and kind treatment of all visi-
tors and settlers will insure us the suc-
cess we desire.—A CORRESPONDENT.

tween an advertising man and a merchant
that illustrates the point in interesting
fashion. , -
“Ever have your hat blown off?” asked
the advertising man. '
“Yes,” said the merchant.
“What blew it off?” .
“The wind.’ 1
“Did you ever see dm wind?”
“No."
“Well, advertising is like the wind—
