Swat the mud holes.
It's good roads for Bell county.
In the meantime
pay that poll tax.
you'd better
Now comes Milam county, and
says she wants good roads. It
is progression, and the county
that turns down good roads is
retro grading.
Never, since the days of the
old stage coach, was mail matter
delivered with bucIi irregularity. '
How long is such conditions go-
ing Jto last? Who is to blame
for thejn?
We dton't know but what
those yho are holding their
cottonare better off than those
whowld, because they, at least,
hav some cotton, and those who
have sold have neither cotton nor
tnney.
What is needed worse than
anything else in the United
States today, is a good, healthy
movement having for its object
the purification of the "purifiers"
and the reformation of the
"reformers," remarks State
Topics.
Lieutenant Governor Will H,
Mayes is a veritable thorn in the
flesh to the eliminators. He
refuses to be eliminated from
the race for Governor except by
the Democratic voters of Texas
manifesting their will in a Demo-
cratic primary. Why should he
not take that position? He has
a record 'as both a consistent
prohibitionist and a Democrat,
The Democratic party has never
been unfair to prohibition. It
has given it all that it has been
able to win. The Democratic
party has a right to control
public affairs in Texas. When it
i wrested the government from
the misrule of E. J. Davis and
his cohorts, it determined never
to willingly resign its trust to
any other political organization.
The Democratic party stands for
the rule of the people not the
rule of self constituted bosses.
The people are going to stay
with that which they know
is their own.- Houston Post.
Up to last Saturday, January
18, 4.624 poll taxes had been
paid in Williamson county, ac-
cording to the report of Tax Col.
lector Davis. This is about 2,000
short, so somebody had better j jn tjjejp
jgec very Dusy or lose ineir voie an jtVi
in 3914.
Of course the Tribune thinks
Bartletl has the best in all
things, and especially does it
think in regard to the pastors of
its various church organizations.
The Bartlett churches are now
all favored with strong and
capable pastors, who are now
and will become more and more
a benediction to their feilows.
They express all as being men
not only of real piety and high
culture, but manly men with
sympathetic hearts and broad
vision of service that qualifies
them for a large sphere of
responsibility. Let us be proud
of our pastors, and stand by them
great work of christi-
The! Federal Reserve Act is
the title of the new banking and
currency law of the United
States,
It is designed to provide at all
times credit facilities for busi
ness men and circulating money
adjustable in volume to the
country's changing current
needs. Abnormal contraction of
credit and lack of sufficient
circulating money produce a
money panic, and the law is de-
signed to prevent this.
The law establishes eight or
mote central reservoirs of cash
such as do not existtoday.
Out of these reservoirs banks
will be able to draw cash and
credit to serve their legitimate
needs.
Being thus furnished with
greatly enlarged facilities for
obtaining cash and credit, the
banks of the country should be
able to furnish merchants, manu
facturers and farmers at all
times with cash and"credit as
needed.
Banks will be able to make a
small profit in each transaction
in which they loan out their cash
or credit, and thus, as is the case
today, have incentive to accomo
date the country's business.
The chief purposes of the
Federal Reserve Act is to make
stable the country's business by
instilling into every businessman
and farmer the confidence that
he can obtain cash and credit at
a, bank when reasonably entitled
thereto.
Making stable the country's
business means that the labor-
ing man should not be thrown
out of work or have wages cut.
because of money panic, as in
1907 and other years.
The Federal Reserve Act is
designed, by certain provisions
to help United States business
men do business abroad.
It places the banking business
ot the country, in a measure,
under the control of the United
States government.

Cleburne Enterprise: Schemes
of chance are now barred from
Texas. A merchant according'to
the Attorney General, can not
give away any article by means
of coupons or chance of any kind.
If the Legislature will legislate
newspaper voting contests out of
Texas it will improve the gamb-
ling laws a great deal.

says "Cullen Thomas has the
Prohibition nomination for '
Governor cinched," We have
thought, and still think, that
Cullen is working to "force" the
nomination on Tom Ball, and is
using his own name as a blind.
Colonel Ball is the strongest man
in the Pro ranks and Cullen
Thomas is nobody's fool. State

In order to compete with the
saloons a mission church of Fort
Worth announces that it will
serve free lunches from 8 to 9:30
every evening. Its a good work
to feed the hungry anywhere and
always, and those who engage in
it will be blessed. It's another
thing however to set a lunch in
order to compete with a saloon
for the crowds, and we cannot
but look upon such fas doubtful
work. The Savior of men fed
the hungry, but he did not do so
in order to attract crowds; in
tact when ne iound that many
were following him for the
loaves and fishes he "fed the
multitudes no more. Honey
Grove Signal.
Uncle Sam has undertaken the
job of feeding and caring for the
other needs of an undetermined
length of time of approximately
3500 Mexican federal soldiers
and 1500 civilian refugees who
fled across the border into Texas
when General Villa captured
Ojinaga. It costs to feed Mexi-
cans as well as Americans, and
the American taxpayers will
have to pay the bills in this in-
stance. Humanity dictates that
no starving person should go un-
fed. Mexico is a large country,
rich in resources. It needs a
capable government. Texas did
not have capable government
until it threw off the yoke of
Mexican misrule. Let us hope
that the Mexican situation will
soon cease to be so annoying and
expensive a problem to the Unit
ed States. Those people ought
to be good. They have had
several centuries in which to de-
monstrate the good that is in
them. If they, won't be good,
they ought, at least, to behave
themselves in so far as the
right of other resident, or having
property interests, in the Repub-
lic are concerned. Houston Post,
