that such crime was because of weak-
ness of the culprit, and that the mas-
ter mind of another was accessory
before the fact, the master mind is
brought to the bar of justice and
made to suffer. When woman, ever
regarded with a higher sense of judg-
ment because of traditional teachings
and a respect for the weaker sect, be-
comes a bootlegger for gain, we
should think what and who brought
upon the nation a condition that
breeds such violation.

Another Comment Which Attracts
You, Telling of Law Evadence.
Most all of us have accepted the
new marriage law, a law which re-
cently went into effect, and most of
us have said that it was a law that
ahould have been passed by the leg-
islature years ago, probably when you
and the editor were youthful. And
what we have said in favor of this
new law—all of us we mean—would
make a book of many pages. We have,
however, witnessed the fact that the
chief aim of the lawmakers was, ac-
cording to our judgment, to get at
the man, and not at the woman; which
still forces the remark that we are
always willing to protect the woman.
This new law says that the man who
wishes to be married, must give no-
tice to the county clerk, three days
before he gets the permit to wed.
Then, it goes on further and tells you
that the man who asks for the li-
cense, must produce a certificate from
some reputable physician, showing
that he is sound physically and free
of disease. It isn’t necessary to be
more plain in statement.
Ready, always, to swat the liber-
tine and the male without principle,
we yell out that this is a good law.
Willing always to throw a cloak of
protection about the possible mate,
we exact nothing from her, the gen-
eral supposition being that all is well.
And, as one who so believes, we can
say amenl How far reaching, how-
ever, is this law in certain circles,
and to what extent does it protect the
“innocent” male who falls flat when
the wiles of the adventuress are ex-
ercised, and who seeks to get a home,
if nothing else? Pleasure resort own-
ers and health resort owners may
have some interesting stories to tell
that bear well on this opinion. Not a
word, remember about the female
partner of the contract. And nothing,
because it would be travesty on the
rights of either party, is given about
evading this law. A ride of a day or
half day, in the modern car, takes a
couple to another state where the
nuptial knot may be tied.
Still, it is a good law; it is the in
tent of the law that we must take
into consideration. Exceptions pre
vailing, and always admitting that
there are such exceptions, can have
no influence on the intent of the law,
neither can this influence on the
young man, or older man seeking a
marriage license, be reduced. The
man will become more serious, give
the matter of marriage more careful
study, and “find himself” before the
hour of the ceremony. The sudden im-
pulse will become less prevalent, and
where prevalent, the evasion of the
law will make the trip across the
state line necessary. Perhaps, in the
hours that will have to pass before
that trip is completed, reason may
return, and this impulse to “startle
the natives” will have waned. Yes, it
it a right good law, after all.
, The old cynic, and we have lots of
these unnecessary evils, has his in
ning now and then. He points a bony
finger at the headlines and the illus-
trations in a daily paper, and asks
you to read about the latest named
couple who “flew to another state in
a new airship, and defied our law”
and gets a kick out of his contention
that you can't make people behave by
fastening more law shackela upon
them. He may be right, at that; he
may also be telling us that there is
always a reason for being in a hurry.
per oi any
farmers and citizens in regard to the
“free things” that were to be enjoyed
by all who visited the town of Schu-
lenburg on the so-called “trades day."
From the article we glean the fact
that there must have been a number
of promises made, a la circular dis-
tribution, which promises were not
carried out, and instead of the special
train that was to bring the Santone
crowd reaching Schulenburg early, it
steamed into town at a late after-
noon hour. In consequence the visit-
ors decided that the Sticker and its
owner must have been responsible
for the whole works going blooey.
We have read the article, in fact
a citizen of Schulenburg had called
our attention thereto, and suggested
that we read it, that it might help to
“pass the time.” Our reading of that
article has not, according to the last
analysis of the contents of our stom-
ach, improved our digestion in the
least.
In order to make a point the Stick-
er hands this to the public: “Neither
the Sticker nor its force is responsi-
ble for the circulars you received,
promising you free refreshments,
band concerts at 3:30 o’clock, etc. The
merchants of the town were solicited
to pay |5.00 each for an advertise-
ment to put out a circular. They told
us they understood we (The Sticker)
were to get it up and put it out. But
instead our Chamber of Commerce
let some San Antonio printing com
pany charge fl 10.00 for printing
those circulars.....Trades day we
were stopped by a number of farmers
and blamed, and accused of making
monkeys of them by having them
stand around with nothing to do.
Thousands went home angry and dis-
gusted after driving here twenty
miles and less.”
The same old story, told only in a
different manner; if anything goes
wrong, blame the home town paper.
We regret that the Sticker should
have gotten its feathers all ruffled
over this little incident, yet we ap-
preciate the position that the editor j
business man refusing to advertise
because the force was not patronizing
him. Have you ever heard of adver-
tising being a “I pet you and you pet
me affair?” Advertising is done to
get the public patronage, and not
merely the paper’s forces.
Gosh! What would General Motors,
Ford, Magnolia Oil Corporation and
other big monopolies think of such?
They advertise, and never ask the pa-
per owner whether he drives a car or
uses a rear seat in h;s neighbor’s car.
They advertise to get more business.
You are young yet, neighbor. When
the gray hairs materialize and your
experience is increased, you will find
that there are always a few dead
teeth in every mouth.
ELLINGER 4—LAGRANGE 2
Ellinger again defeated LaGrange,
this time by the score of 4 to 2. The
game was well played throughout and
kept fans on their toes.
“Skinny” Rosenberg on the mound
for the LaGrange team, pitched win-
ning ball, but his mates couldn’t hit
behind him. LaGrange staged a ninth
inning rally which fell short by two
runs from tying the score. Rosenberg
allowed nine hits and struck out nine
men, while Meyer, who pitched .for
Ellinger, allowed six hits and fanned
six men. G. Rosenberg starred for
the losers by making several good
catches of hard chances.
Next Sunday Sommerville and La-
Grange will stage a battle royal at
the Coca Cola Park, when two wrong-
handers, Pete Wendt, A. & M. star,
and “Lefty” Rosenberg oppose each
other. This will be a game worth see-
ing and you shouldn’t miss it. Don’t
fail to be at the Coca Cola Park Sun-
day at 4 p. m., LaGrange and Som-
merville.

ODD FELLOWS ENJOY ANNUAL
OUTING AT FAIR GROUNDS
Last Thursday evening the Odd
Fellows of LaGrange Lodge No. 30,
entertained with a chicken barbecue
at the Fair Grounds, the occasion
being the annual outing of this Sub-
ordinate Lodge. Seventy guests were
present, and included in this number
were twenty-two visitors from Smith-
ville and four from Austin.
Ample provision had been made for
the entertainment of the guests who
thoroughly enjoyed an abundance of
the barbecued chicken, potato chips,
pickles, tomatoes, and other acces-
sories of such an affair. The hours
sped all too rapidly mid talks, hu-
morous anecdotes, readings, etc., that
made up the informal program of en-
tertainment which kept the gathering
well entertained and in a merry
mood.
trades days, suddenly arranged by the
commercial interests of a large city
are not bad, they help to educate the
buyer and also help the local retailer
and the local buyers. The one serious
offense—speaking from a selfish
standpoint—is that these city whole-
salers ever forget, unless the local
dealers stand up to their patriotic
rights, to remember that the local
paper should be honored with the
printing. Then the disappointed may
arise to' the cccasion and do their
kicking. These city wholesalers, ar-
ranging their route over one or more
railroads, also arrange with their
home printers for these large circu-
lars, getting what they believed to be,
a reduction on the price, because
there are several, in fact near to
twenty or more towns to be visited,
and the changes in the circular are
small, so that the chief make-up is
used for each town.
Now that the Sticker has made the
issue plain to the visitors who became
so very peeved at not being properly
entertained, wc want to add that it is
ever thus; we were accused of making
misrepresentation about the balloon
ascension two weeks ago, and it did
not bother us in the least, it did both-
er some of the merchants. Some of
these merchants who were “stung” by
donation, seldomly place an advertise-,
ment in the Journal, a paper that rep-
resents the city in a manner that
merits recognition. And we haven’t
lost a bit of our appetite because of
that blame.
Which also recalls an amusing in-
cident of recent date. One of our busi-
ness men, leaning over his counter
and exchanging reasons and opinions,
advised the Journal solicitor that he
could not afford to advertise regular-
ly. “I think though,” said this man,
“the Journal should write a strong
article, and set some of our business
houses right. They are buying the
same products we make, from the
man who comes here in a truck. And
they expect us to prosper." Not a bad
argument; let us see, however, how
inconsistent this man ts:
“Do you need any printing?” asked
the solicitor.
"What is your price on 500 en-
velopes?" asked the business man;
“I can use that many.”
Given the price which is ever
charged by the Journal, the man
raised his hand in horror and said:
“Why, the drummer from San An-
tonio, who was here last week, gave
me a price that is nearly a dollar
cheaper,”
Oh inconsistency, O tempora, O
mores, oh hell!
Where are you going to get with
such arguments. And such business
men will want the Chamber of Com-
merce to help them. Gosh, it almost
