Political Parties Not Wise in Cities.
It has often been said that there
is no republican way and no
democratic • way of running a
city, of conducting its water-
works, laying its pavements,
keeping its books; but simply a
right way and a wrong way. And
that is just about as true of a
state as it is of a nation. Nev-
ertheless, and notwithstanding
the exaltation of the idea of local
self-government, these local
governments have been subordi-
nated to national party consider-
ations. Confessing the truth of
the statements above made, par-
tisans have nevertheless insisted
uponllocal nominations upon the
plea that party control of local
offices! helps the party in the
state and nation. Some extreme
partisans|have gone so far as to
say that they couldn’t stand to
see a mayor of another political
faith from theirs welcome con-
ventions to the city.
That people are beginning to
see that servile devotion to party
is ruinous to their own best in -
terestsjand not at all necessary
to the ^welfare of either parties
or nation is encouraging. “The
best indication of enlightenment
in any community,” says Gov.
Wilson, “is that its business men
should begin to realize that noth-
ing benefits them individually so
muchfas the uniform and equita-
ble development of the commu-
nities in which they live and of
the whole country.” In other
days he was considered a good
business man who merely looked
well after the affairs within the
four walls of his business house
and kept in close touch with the
relations as between himself and
his customers. But men are
now coming to see that it is the
part of good business to have
regard for the environment in
which business is transacted, and
that no establishment or enter-
prise can attain to the height of
its possibilities, nor enjoy stabil-
ity, security and safety except it
be centered in a community and
country wherein there is safety
and comfort and prosperity for
the people, and in which there is
high moral tone and respect for
the existing order. That which
makes city or state or nation a
good place wherein to live also
makes it a good place for busi-
ness.—Dallas News.
A New California Route.
The Santa Fe will open up the
cut-off between Coleman and
Lubbock for traffic next week.
The completion of this line will
give Texas, and all the South, a
new California route as well ap
open up an empire of virgin ter-
ritory to the plow.
The opening up of 300 miles of
new railroad is not an unusual
occurence in Texas, but no con-
struction of recent year! will
have as important a bearing on
the commerce of the country,
and the development of Texas as
this new line. 1
The [Santa Fe has over 2200
miles of railroad in Texas, and
they are developers as well as
builders.—Commercial Secreta-
ries Association.
A progressive, public-spirited
man can “always be depended
upon to favor any and all enter-
prises looking to the betterment
and upbuilding of his communi-
ty. It is innate, and no more to
be avoided than are the measles
and whooping cough of child-
hood. The same rule holds good
with the non-progressive ele-
ment. Once a kicker, always a
kicker.. The tendency to “knock”
becomes ingrained in the nature
of some men, and they kick and
kick without really knowing what
they are kicking about.—Brown-
^ood Bulletin.
Masonic Election.
The following officers were
Elected for Saratoga Lodge No.
546, A. F. and A. M., Saturday
night: W. H. Simmons, W. M.;
M. M. White, S. W.; B. W- Fox,
J. W.; M. Y. Stokes, treasurer;
T. H» Haynie, secretary; D. W.
Casbeer, tiler. There are other,
offices which will be filled by ap-
pointment.
The Masonic lodge is in fine
conditiori, there being quite a
number of the members who are
skilled in the work and who take
pleasure in teaching others.
There are always some candi-
dates taking the degrees and the
logde grows in interest and
membership.
Eastern Star Officers.
The officers of the Eastern Star
elected some time ago were for-
mally installed at a meeting of

lows: .

Horse Stock Profitable.
Some time since this paper re-
ported the experience of B. W.
Fox with what he called a “flea-
bitten gray mare,” showing that
he had raised something like
$1000 worth of stock with this
animal as a mother.
Now cpmes W. H. (Buck) Cor-
bin and states that 11 years ago
he bought a yearling colt for
$15.00 and that the stock he has
on hand and what he has sold
would be worth more than $1250,
and the mare is yet in good con-
dition and doing the work of any
farm animal each year. He sold
one span of mules from this mare
at $275, and has another pair
worth $400 besides a number of
others. The land and grasses of
Lampasas county are specially
adapted to the raising of good
horses and mules, and more at-
tention should be paid to this
industry.
