Tuesday was "Clean Up."

Throwing good money after
bad is like sending a cat away to

The Annual Prosperity Edition
of the Austin Statesman is one
of the best advertisements that
the capitolcity has'eyer had and
reflects great credit upon the
management of the paper, as
well as those who so liberally
patronized it.
We now have various brands
of democracy, namely, socialist-
democrats, progressive demo-
crats, prohibition democrats, and
just plain "democrats." Why
not have republican-democrats?
They will be thernext in liae.
If either of the announced can-
didates for governor, are elected,
and do jvhat they have promised
to do toward making Texas a
greater state, they will fill a long
felt want, Heretofore much has
been promised and little given.
Automobiltists complain that
teamsters on the country roads
are not as considerate as they
should be of the rights of others
to a part of the roadway-and pay
little attention to the established
rule to "keep to the right." In
some cases; it is said, the rural
teamster will persist in keeping
the middle of the road, hardly
leaving sufficient room pn either
side for an automobile or other
vehicle to pass him. Perhaps
tins lack of consideration may be
due more tojgnorance of obliga-
tion iqtl"prqmises than to pre-
judice againBt the city vehicle,
but in either event the authorities
should impress the equal rights
to the roadway upon the teamster
in such a way as to assure .sea-
sonable observance. San An-
tonio Express.

Tennessee is drv. The season
for open saloons closed at mid-
night. All have gone out of
existence and all the brewers
will close down under the, oper-
ation of the prohibition '.nuisance
act. Time in its flight makes
many changes. Edward R. Car-
mack is in his grave. He was
the political apostle of statewide
in Tennessee. Malcolm R.
Patterson is making prohibition
speeches. He was the apostle
ot the personal liberty idea and
he pardoned the slayers of Car-
mack. Then hev saw a great
light and !now he is the star
orator of theJAnti-Saloon League
of America. Tennessee has
statutory prohibition. It has a
nuisance act. It has laws pro
viding jail sentence for the men
who sell the juice of the corn,
the juice of the hop or the juice
of the grape. It has a Republi-
can Governor and two Demo-
cratic parties. There should be
fun for all in the old Volunteer
State.
The Southern States Cotton
Corporation has gone into invol-
untary bankruptcy. This is the
concern that advertised so wide-
ly for agents last summer and
fall to sell stock and buy cotton,
promising 15c a pound for cotton
artd claiming to have solved the
problem of how to get that price.
Millions of , gullible farmers no
doubt bit, while others, too wise
to bite, were not tod wise to h61d
their cotton when they could
have gotten 14tf and Jet it rot till
now it won't bring 7c Cameron

If a doctor makep.a mistake he
buries it. if a merchant makes a
mistake he nqver tellit, but if
an ePitor make3 a 'mistake he
puts it on a large sheet of paper

the cranks in the county ,;have
something to wag their jaws

V ' MUSK : "
and Good Things to Eat
A TREAT FOR EVERY ONE WHO COMES.
Temperance and Success
A business firm in Pennsyl-
vania is Cmaking a practical
application of its belief in tem-
perance by offering its 300
employes a 10 per cent increase
in wages if they will agree to
abstain from all forms of intoxi-
cants. That a temperate man is
more efficient than one who is
intemperate has long been known
and is so universally recognized
today that the intemperatev
drinker finds great difficulty in
obtaining employment. The
relative efficiency of the tem-
perate man and the total ab-
stainer has not been clearly
established and it will be inter
esting to follow up the experi-
ment of the Pennsylvania firm
and observe the degree of im-
provement in the work of those
who pledge themselyes to total
abstinence. Ft. Worth Record.
The hatchet is buried. Behold!
George C. Rankin in speaking of
the Fort Worth eliminator meet-
ing under his own signature calls
the names of Thomas H. Ball; A.
W. Walker. Cullen Thomas.
Water Power Lane, and Will H,
Mayes in the same breath. A
few weeks ago, before the elimi-
nator machine got in good work-
ing order, it sometimes took
asbestos paper to carrthe com-
pliments he wa3 exchanging
with Water Power Lane. And
Will H. Mayes did not come with
in the Brother Beloved Class at
all., Now, however the elimina-
tor, machine has worked. The
eliminator salve has been applied.
There are flowers for everybody,
with real fruit for Tom Ball.

Statesman,
If Bartlett does not appear city-
like in aspect it certainly does in
the matter of artistically trimmed
show n windows. Nothing adds
more to the apperaranco, of , the
business street than attractively
displayed Bhow windows.
Advice is the Nail and ex-
ample foe hammer that drives it.

Retail Merchants
Association.
There is one organization in
Bartlett of which the Tribune is
proud, and to which it is always
ready to lend its support We re-
fer to the Retail Merchants Asso-
ciation. It protects the man who ex-
tends credit.
It prevents dishonest people
from getting credit.
Makes dishonest people pay
their debts.
It prevents the man of poor
judgement from buying above
his means.
It makes credit easier for the
honest man who desires it.
It puts the advertising grafter
out of business and encourages
legitimate advertising.
It has created a better under
standing and a more friendly
feeling between competitors.
The moral influnce of the Re
tail Merchants Association is of
great assistance in waking col-
lections. It has created improved con-
dicions in the State which will
give the merchant what he is en-
titled to, a square deal.
As an evidence of the pros-
perity of the citizens of this city,
the substantial growth of the
Bartlett National Bank is an in-
stance. This bank was organi-
zed about ten years ago with
$55,000 paid in capital. In four
years this was increased from
the earnings to $70,000, and this
year it haa -been increased to
$100,000. This institution has
not had a monoply of the busi-
ness, as there are two other banks
here.
Granger is already planning for
her regular annual celebration to
be held in July. These celebra-
tions are very popular and inter-
esting events and the town takes
much pride in th.env The peo-
ple get together fpr a good time,
entertain their ylsiting friends
ahd incidentally spread their
fame as a town tht docs things,

Mr. Bland a Democrat.
To the voters of Williamson Co,
I am advised that Mt is beinjr
circulated among some of the
voters of Williamson County that
I have been classed as a Republi
can, and for the information of
those who, might be misled by
such a statement, I wish to say
that I am and always have been
a Democrat, and, associated my-
self with the Democratic pri-
maries, and my father and
brothers ahead of me did the
same.

Anti Good Roads Argument
The most honest anti-good
roads argument we have heard
comes from a man in the Bon.-
ham district. He said good
roads would permit the women
and children to get to town and
buy too many good clothes to
wear to church. This must be a
cousin of the county judge of
Cooke county who goes to court
in an ox wagon and opposes the
building of bridges because
they didn't have bridges before
the war, or a near relative of the
Forney day laborer living: in a
rented house who says "the
durned taxes are eatin' us up
now." Some anti-good roads
argument is really humorous if
it were not so seriously littered.
