FALFURRIAS FACTS FRIDAY JUNE 11, 1926.
AN APPRECIATION OF OUR EDITOR.
Falfurrias has, in the person of H. L. Edwards, one of the
most energetic, progressive, and up-to-date editors that can be
found in the State. The office of the Facts and the paper are
daily receiving compliments on the great improvement that
has been brought about during the last few months. Also
the town looks like another place. No one knows just how
much credit is due Facts for the improvement and boosting
spirit that has become manifest around town during the last
few months, but it is a safe guess that without the paper we
now have very little of the present development would have
been realized. You can’t build a town without a live news-
paper, and it takes an exceptional person to operate a good
paper.
It is the opinion of the writer that Falfurrias now has the
opportunity of its history to become the center of he activities
of this great Southwest Artesian Belt. If the merchants,
Chamber of Commerce and other good people of Falfurrias
will stand by this fellow, Ilarry L. Edwards, he will guide us
safely through this period of uncertainty and bring us into the
clearing of progressive development.
There is not one man in a hundred thousand who would
give so freely of his time, money, and experience for the pub-
lic good as Mr. Edwards has done during the past six weeks
especially. And whether his delegation lands the 1927 I’ress
convention or not there is one thing sure; Falfurrias is getting
more advertising this week than it has had during all the rest
of its history combined.
Stand by this man. You can't find editors of wee! ly p-:-
pers like him every day. Very few of the mexi-t.
It is pleasing to know that
there has grown up in Texas a
force which demands those of-
ficial standards which alone
give promise of constructive
progress. It is a militant army
of forward-looking men
women who have clean, clear 1
ideals and will be satisfied
with nothing less than a tevolu
tionary transformation of what
evil conditions exist.
1 atn proud to ally myself
with that great group, and with
them win on through, just as
every such force ever organiz-
ed in America has won eventu-
ally; for you can no more de-
feat the ultimate triumph of
right over wrong than you can
destroy God.
In the drab old Alamo, at
J. Goliad, at San Jacinto, stal-
wart, upstanding men battled
to give the Lone Star state life, J
and that free, wholesome gov-
ernment which humanity crav-
es, and which Texans will have
at all costs.
The bones of those grim,
tenacious, unconquerable lie-
toes have crumbled; their,
monuments are time-stained.j
But the traditions they wrote,
the ideals they fostered, the
moral standards they erected1
live on, and today carry to
every Texas the old. old mo8-j
sage that honestly and loyalty
and neighborliness are the!
worthwhile things without '
which no people can find peace
and prosperity.
It is good to know that we
are glimpsing the dawn of that
bright destiny visioned for Tex-
as by those who died willingly
that a grand state might lie
born. —T. K. Irwin, candidate
for attorney general.

MORE TEQUILA CAPTURED
On last Sunday, the revenue
officers captured MOO quarts
of tequila at Agua Nueva just
South of the Brooks county I
line.
The officers also captured
four saddles.
This work was done by of-
ficers Bill Musgraves, Jack
Wells, Tim Odem, and Tom
Brady.
SNODGRASS — LINDQUEST
On last Sunday morning, Ben
Snodgrass, local barber, mar-
ried Miss S. Lindquest, of Fre-
mont.
After a meal prepared for
the bride and groom, at John’s,
they left for Corpus Christi,
where they spent several days.

THE OTHER FELLOW’S JOB.
Isn’t it a pitty that we cannot all try the other fell
profession, business or trade for awhile? From personal ex-
perience we could then learn of a few of our neighbors trou
bles that we never dream he has. Surrounded by ones own
work and worry it is difficult to realize that the other fellow
has half as hard a time as we do. About 90 per cent of the
hard feelingand ill will in thewo rd is the result of one per-
son failing to understand another's position.

FALFURRIAS LEADS AGAIN. * .
Falfurrias is again leading the entire Nation in the early
production of large melons. And the beauty of it all is. that !
it will be the 15 or 20 of the month before melons begin to;
move from other points in any quantity. By that time ha'
furrias will have shippid round a hundred car loads of tm Ions
.1 list some more evidence that you ean't keep the Fnlfur-|
rias Country down despile the fact that the po’itics of the Na-j
tion seems to be against it and some of our daily papers tail
to appreciate the possibilities in their trade territory.

THE “RIGHT’’ OF FRANCHISE BECOMES A “DUTY.”
We have had several candidates for State office with us
this week. While these fellows are mingling with the peo-
ple we should all make an attempt to thoroughly post ourselves!
concerning them.
To be uninformed at election time means that one will
deliver an unintelligent vote. The ignorant vote is the worst
enemy that the Nation has. Every person is equal on election
day; and the fellow who has to be told for whom to vote is no
longer a personality to himself but belongs to some other per-
son. Such a vote is dangerous, and the person delivering it
is really not worthy of American citizenship.

Texas gave more than 71.900.000 acres of land to rail
road companies between 1831 and 1809 to induce building of
railroads in the State. Now big railroad companies want to
build roads and are willing to pay big sums to do so. but the
Interstate Commerce Commission says they can’t.

TIMES HAVE SURELY CHANGFD. * ’

have you tried it?
Passing laws does not induce respect for law. Resneci
for law is bred by a regard for honestv and the rights ol
others. Teach your cl !ldr« n to respect the rights of oth< v
and they will have respect for law.

The man who howls 11m loudest about the way the conn j*
try is going to the dogs is the man who seldom does anythin? IZ
to help his community—of course you don’t have any such poo
pie in Falfurrias Lard—but we’ve heard of ’em.
Visitors form their first impressions of a town from what
thev see. What do you suppose is the first thing a visitor
sees when he arrives in Falfurrias?

with an odor that cost
thousands of dollars to
