The new German Socialist
Government seems to rest on a
Very insecure basis and civil war

That German reyolution was

put the next and the only ones
yery much disturbed over it
were the Kaiser and the Crown
prince. It brought a glimmer
of hope to them.
Although it had been agreed
by the meeting of the adminis-
tration Executive Committee
that the big four candidates for
governor should confine their
efforts strictly to national affairs
and to the endorsement of the
Wilson administration, they can-
not get their minds off Bailey

The Interscholastic Meet is
over and Shiner is proud of her
efforts apd victories. There will
be five Shiner contestant* at the
Distriot Meet which is to be held
in Cuero April 7 th and 9th.
Out of the 393 points that are
given for the entire meet Shiner
is credited with 178. The re-
maining 215 points belong to Hal-
lettsville and the rural schools.
The majority of Shiner’s points
were won in the athletic contests.
Yet the debate that counts for
more than any other of the liter-
ary contests is rightfully Shiner’s
victory according to the public
sentiment of both the Hallettsville
and 'Shiner people.

W. E. P|RR FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.
The Gazette is pleased to re-
ceive this week the announce-
ment of Mr. W. E. Parr for the
office of county attorney of Lava-
ca county. Mr. Parr announces
subject to the action of the
democratic primaries in July.
Mr Parris a native of L&vaca
County, born «and reared near
Ezzell, a son of P. W. Parr of that
community, Here he attended
school and worked on the farm,
securing the rudiments of a com-
mon school education, Jater at-
tending the Hallettsville High
School, then decided to enter the
teaching profession which he
successfully followed for a
number of years. For two
terms “he taught the Gephart
school in this county, giying ex-
cellent satisfaction, In order to
keep abreast of the times in this
line of endeavor, ha entered the
Southwest Texas Normal College
at San Marcos, Texas, graduat-
ing from this college in 1908,
Later he attended the Uuiyersifcy
of Texas, taking special courses
in mathematics, science and law,
These courses rounded out the
common school education and
qualified him for higher and
more lucrative positions. In
1914 he was elected superintend-
ent of the Sam and Will Moore
Institute at Moulton, serving in
this capacity for three years,
and had entered his fourth year
when called into the service of
the United States army. He
was a member of Headquarters’
Company, 344th Field Artillery,
90th division, serving two years;
about one year of this time spent
overseas. Upon bis return from
overseas and discharge from the
service Mr. and Mrs. Parr came
to Hallettsville, he to resume law
practice, officing with County
Attorney Stavinoha.
The voters will note from this
mention that Attorney Parr is
distinctly a Layaca county man,
who has given general satisfac-
tion in professions he has follow-
ed and he showed his loyalty and,
patriotism by actual service. In'1
requesting the support of the
voters at the polls, he does so,
feeling that he is well qualified
and promising his fealty to its
official duties.

Pfc,
lllp,
Ballinger, Texas, March 17.—
After he had released two young
men from his court on suspend-
ed sentences on pleas of guilty
of forgery and burglary, District
Judge Woodward declared that
the suspended sentence law was
a hindrance and not a law en-
forcement,
“It is breeding crime instead
of preventing crime,” said the
Judge, “and there are more
young men brought into my
court begging for mercy than I
ever saw befcrreUn my long ex-
perience on*the hench.”
The suspended sentence law is
approaching farcical conditions.
