BUSINESS AND THE OITLOOK.
If th«r. U anything In the old say-
Ing that you cannot keep a good
man down and K that saying la ap-
' pllcabl. to business, than business In
thla oountry must ba doubly good.
In apite of ad vera* conditions busl-
n«as is still humming, and tha out-
look Is bright.
> Th* Federal Reserve Board's re-
view of conditions, printed In the
' Telegram 8unday morning, said that
despite disturbed Industrial condl-
, tions great prosperity obtains gener-
ally over tha conntry. Crops every-
where were reported good and "there
has bean no decline In general manu-
facturing." Even mors cheering Is
tha observation that "commodity
prices show a recession from the
high levels reached during August."
Business is standing up good be-
• cause of good crops and because tha
people have been believing all along
that this country is in for a wave of
prosperity. If wa had started out
, on tha assumption, when the armis-
tice waa signed, that a panic was to
prevail and that failure was to follow
failure In tba industrial and business
world, wa probably would have been
i suffering hard times long before
n«w. But prosperity got the bulge
on Bnrsst and the people have not
hasrn willing to give up. Prosperity
will win out in the end If the public
maintains Its morale.
Thar* was never more reason for
tha people of this seotlon of the
country to be confident, for business
bar* Is la a vary healthy condition.
Tha unfavorable influence exerted by
unrest In otter sections will not af-
fect this belt seriously, If at all,
simply becsuse the people will not
i permit it
Tha outlook is bright—and the
outlook is going to keep business
humming. There is no reason for
delaying the carrying out of plans
laid during the war; for carrying out
those plans will tend merely to boost
morals and make our promised pros-
perity even more promising.
ENDORSING THE INTERURBAN
While the Telegram does not purpose to say that the pro-
posed Waco-Temple Interurban offers a safe and promising In-
vestment, yet the Telegram does not hesitate to accept any
statement bearing upon tho proposition which comes from such
men as H. L. Dailey, Henry W. Meisner, O. E. McCelvey, F. F.
Downs, Charles M. Campbell and A. L. Flint.
These men are well known, not only in Temple, but
throughout the state. If the Telegram were to attempt a
thorough Investigation of the business possibilities of the pro-
posed electric railway, it does not hesitate to say that it would
go to some or all of these men for Bdvlce. Their honesty is
not doubted, and neither is their integrity. Each has made a
success financially—each has the Interest of the city and com-
munity at heart.
A joint statement given out by these men heartily endorses
the Waco-Temple Interurban as an investment. It stands
open to reason that men of their prominence and responsibility
would not give out such a statement without Investigation and
it also stands open to reason that they would not—with ef-
forts being made almost everywhere to put over enterprises of
doubtful merit—lend their approval to a project unless they
actually believe It to be Just what they say it is. Here is
their statement about the interurban:
"To Whom It May Concern:—
"The J. G. White Engineering Company of New York City,
which selected and surveyed out the route for the proposed in-
terurban between Waco and Temple, has made Its written re-
port endorsing the enterprise as a business proposition, stating
that when in operation stock therein should earn a substan-
tial return on the Investment the first year.
"That an interurban between Waco and Temple would tre-
mendously develop the trade territory contiguous to Temple
as well as our City itself is unquestioned.
"We, the undersigned citizens and property owners of
Temple, approve the plan submitted by Central Texas Electric
Railway Company of building said interurban and believe the
line can be built in accordance with the plan contemplated.
"We, therefore, commend the enterprise as one, in our
judgment, entitled to the hearty support of the citizenship of
Temple and Bell County, and hope that subscriptions to its
stock will be liberal."
And so If the Telegram, for the benefit of its readers who
may wish to know about this interurban, were to undertake
a thorough investigation of the project it would feel that it had
performed its duty by having sought the counsel and advice
of the men who signed the foregoing statement, and whose
names appear above. Their statement alone ought to be suf-
ficient to lead the man with surplus funds on hand to consider
the Waco-Temple Interurban as an investment proposition.
THE ELEMENT OF bVCK.
There is such a thing as luck, ac-
cording to the definition in Webster's
dictionary. Luck Is that which' hap-
j pens to ona seemingly by chance; an
event, good or ill. affecting one's in-
terests or happiness, and which Is
deemed casual; a course or series of
such events regarded as occurring by
chance. The element of lurk, In the
affairs of man, Is a materialistic
reality, even as the attraction of
gravitation, K Mr. Webster's defini-
tion ba accepted as correct. There is
such a thing as luck and a knowl-
edge of the operation of this element
Is essential to the wejl being and
happiness of all who venture a cause
t upon life's changing sea.
For, no matter what one may
think of luck—and there are those
who argue the non-existence of such
. —he will find when he ventures any-
thing that something will happen,
. seemingly by chance, which will af-
fect his Interests or happiness. For
Instance, a man may set out to at-
tend the football game and find only
one beaten path through the
, mudhole with a big car stuck In that
path and no available means of re-
moving the obstacle or going around
It. Whet Is that but luck, 111 luck?
It is something thnt has happened
Seemingly by chance, for if he had
been ahead of the hi^ ear Instead
Of behind it he could have followed
the beaten path' through the quag-
mire and have gone on to tlie foot-
ball game. Luck Is found upon ev-
ary hand, good and bad. as one goes
venturing.
According to this discussion one
must know the definition of luck and
must then apply that knowledge to
the recognition of luck when he
comes under its Influence In order
that he may adopt i^ome course of
conduct and action in conformity
with tha laws of tha element against
which or witl* which ha Is dealing.
For ona must deal with luck, one
way or another; why not face the
crtioaj bqfdty and deal in the light of
Intelligence? Why not take advan-
tage of luck, good or ill ?
Look around you and see If you
have not come upon good luck when
you have thought that it was ill
luck. Perhaps the mudhole Is ad-
jacent to a good oil location. Per-
haps the laws of chance have led you
to a good prospect and have stopped
you where you can not get away
from it and Fate la lying back laugh-
ing to see-tf you are wise or foolish.
Luck, good or 111, 1» kindly In Its pur-
pose and effect for those who will
let It be. There Is good luck lurking
wherever there la 111. Take a tip and
look for the good luck whenever bad
luck comes, for they are twins and
they always nin together.
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
In this department tha Telegram re-
produce* particularly forceful tdltorlala
from oontemporarlaa, hut does not necea-
•arlly avrea with opinions expraaeed
therein, or conclualona drawn.
Capital, Labor and Law.
Aa between the two great factors of
production, capital £nd labor, the law
Is very much on the side of labor.
When congress enacted a law to pre-
vent combinations in restraint of trade
It exempted laborers and farmers, con-
fining its restricUons to capital.
In the case of railroads, the law
began more than thirty years ago to
restrict the rights of the owners to
manage their property. About s
dosen years ago congress took from
the owners of the properties all right
to fix the prices they could charge for
their services. When war created an
emergency, congress took the rail-
roads bodily out of the hands of
their owners.
In enacting the Adamson law and
in various eemi-offlcial eettlements of
the claims of the men to shorter hours
and higher wages the agencies of the
government have been very generally
on the side of the men who work, and
against the owners of the properties.
Nearly all states have public utili-
ty commissions which regulate the
capital, but not the labor engaged. In
some cases the charges for the public
service are fixed. In some the profits
of the owners are fixed, directly or
indirectly. The capital engaged in
railroads, and In a somewhat less de-
gree that engaged In other public util-
ities, is held by the courts and by
the law-making power to be "charged
with a public use." In all these cases
Jfre interests of the capitalists are sub-
ordinated to those of the public. But
no such doctrine has been held re-
garding the labor involved. That is
free to combine, free to fix Its own
charges, and free to put the public
to incalculable expense and loss If
the corporations do not grant all de-
mands m$de upon them.
There Is undoubtedly a growing
feeling In the community that If the
capital engaged In public uUlltles la
"charged with a public use," some re-
straint upon the labor engaged In the
same la Justifiable In the lntereet of
the oommunlty. Thla feeling la re-
flected In the aectlon of the pending
railroad hill making strikes on rail-
roads unlawful.
Coal mining la not a public uUUty
In the technical aense. But coal la a
neceasary of life. It la absolutely ee-
sential to induatry. The auspenslon
of mining, especially Just aa winter
li coming on, la a matter the public
can hardly bo Indifferent to. The
government has taken charge of coal
production in one emergency, and it
may In another emergency of a differ-
ent character, but equally serious. The
demand for an increase of *0 per cent
in wages, which have already been
considerably Increased, would be a
matter of considerable importance to
the community If It were taken alone,
but if It is coupled with a proposal
to reduce largely the amount of pro-
duction tha public sympathy, which
has generally been on the side of the
workers seeking to better their con-
dition, Is very likely to be alienated.

In planning celebrations of Nov.

those things, though remembering
them need not take a single element
of enjoyment out of the event We
have simply to keep In mind that
something beside. a war was wen
last year on that memorable date—
Nov. U.
fllTL-GCTLL.
Occasionally a news item drifts In
from central Tsxaa points telling of
pecan gathering parties. We Imagine
such rffairs must be Intensely enter-
taining, not to say profitable If any
of the guesta want to profiteer upon
the hospitality of the hoet or hoa-
tess. That, however, la not so Inter-
esting. What we want to know la
what haa become of tha old fash-
ioned-game of hull-gull?
Thut game Is much simpler than
br.dge and even when recklessly
played Is never so treacherous as
draw or stud poker, to aay nothing
of a little high apeed fling In African
golf, or eraps—mercifully referred to
In Justice courts as gaming. You
know how the old game goes:
"Hull-gull."
-Hsndful."
"How many?"
"Fourteen."
"Olmme twelve to make It four-
teen."
Of course, tha numbera figuring In
the game depend both upon the ca-
pacity of a players hand and the
guessing proclivities Of the other play-
er, but the point la that a fine Is
placed upon Inaccuracy even In gues-
sing—and the player who does the
guessing has to fork over the differ-
ence regardless of whether he goea
over or under tha mark.
The only redeeming feature, and
the one that ksepa you In tha game,
is that the players take It time about
In guessing, so if you lose once you
may make your loaa good by camou-
flaging a little and letting the other
fellow gue*s wrong—And he uaually
does. There's no blackjacking—no
banking the game.
With a record crop of pecans be-
ing grown throughout central Texas,
it seems that thla old faahloned sport
ought to be revived. Perhaps h haa
never died in those old country
homes where tha smell of gasoline
has not frightensd the family horse
away and where children are taught
that shuffling the oards leads first to
gambling and then to prison. The
only thing that prevents hull-gull In
homes like those Is a scarcity of
nuts—and nuts are plentiful this
year.
The hull-gull party would be In-
complete. of course, If It did not end
with a little candy making; but the
scracity of sugar need not bluff the
resourceful hostess In this Instance.
Nuts can be worked Into molasses
candy—and this opens up an oppor-
tunity for a candy-pulling!
So on and on the old game goes,
calling to mind many pleasant func-
tions enjoyed "In their young days''
hv the passing generation. Thoee.
therefore, who think modern society
Is somewhat out of plumb ml*ht re-
vive the customs of n few yea's sgo

with all that goes with such r party.

Mary's Lamb.
When Mary had her little lamb,
exlatence was a Joke; then people
lived on pie and Jam. and weren't al-
ways broke. The prices then were
aot so steep as thoae our markets
quote, aad so a girl could have a
sheep, a warthog or a goat. If Mary
had a lamb today, and wished 4o feed
tha aame, and went to buy a bale
of hay, she'd find ths price a ahame.
And aha would cry, "Oh, mutton dear,
the prloee freere my blood; If you
oant live on atmosphere, methlnks
your name la Mud. 1 gnash my teeth
aad mourn aad weep to aee you go
away; hut X roust have a wooden
aheep, that doesn't bleat for hay."
When Mary tnd her little lamb, you'd
buy a. herd c>t swine, for what you
new pay for a ham, that'a mostly bone
and brine. Then little glrla could
have their lambs, to trail along be-
hind, and bobcats, crocodiles and
clams, and pets of every kind. And
they could have their polar bears,
and wolvea and anakes galore, and
build them coxy lairs beneath the
kitchen floor. Hut now a girl would
get in wrong, If she with pets should
fool; and Mary takss no lamb along,
when shs proceeds to school.

CENTRAL TEXAS PRESS
NOVEMQEK 11.
Tho first anniversary of the sign-
ing of the armistice will be celebrat-
ed in a number of central Texas
towna. The day has been declared a
state holiday by gubernatorial proc-
lamation, and special services are be-
ing planned In many places both by
the clergy and by commercial or-
ganizations.
It has not been so long since fight-
ing wag going on In Europe but that
we can remember especial reasons
for hsltowing the day fighting stop-
ped. T^.ero will be celebrations for
many years to come in honor of that
day, but there will never be any to
compare with the rejoicing which
the news of victory and peace oc-
casioned a year ago.
It is very Important In honoring
this day, however, not to forget that
it marks something else than victory
for American arms. It marks the
triumph1 of Ideals which have made
this country great and which must
be preserved If this country Is to re-
main great. This thought can be
preserved from year to year If an-
niversary programs are planned with
care. Patting ourselves on the back
for having put up a good fight and
won will sooni r or later lend us
