Sit still and don’t rock the boat.
We haye no war, nor are we
likely to have.
Count von Bernstorff says he
has labored for two years to pre-
sent a break between the United
s States and Germany, and no one
regrets it more than he does.
The Texas legislature in joint
session has- pledged itself to
stand by the President in what-
ever course he may take, It is
|he earnest desire of the Presi-
dent to ’ remain neutral in all
things, if permitted to do so.
February is the month of holi-
days. On the 12th we have Lin-
coln’s birthday; the 14th is St.
Valentine’s day and on the 22nd
we haye Washington’s birthday.
In addition to these we have
Mard^i Gras on the 20th and Ash
Wednesday on the 21st. Lent
.also begins on this day.
The House of Representatives
at Austin has had another scrap
pver submission and lost out by
six votes. It is not likely that
the question will be brought up
again at this session of the legis-
lature, but the pros will now be-
gin to agitate the constitutional
convention and endeavor to gain
their point through that.
The new note from Germany
relative to the submarine war-
fare has again put the country in
uproar, but we cannot bejieve
]a.W serious trouble jfilt result
'^rorJl-it;,-Germany knows full
well by this time that the United
States wants no war with Ger-
many, and if Germany refrains
from making war on us,all trouble
will pass over.

While it may be true that about
.every four out of every five
automobile owners would be bet-
ter off without them, it cannot
be denied that those who really
need them get much benefit from
their use. Many farmers use
.them with profit and pleasure,
while professional men meet the
.demands of the present time
much better by having the use
pf. this modern method of trans-
portation. Of course the man
with small means and who does
not own a home, would be bet-
ter off by investing his money in
a home rather than in an auto
mobile. But the average man, it
seems, does not know just what
is best for him and those de-
pendent upon him, or if he does
know, he is careless about show-
ing it.—Yoakum Times.
The local Overland dealers have
just unloaded a car-load of Over-
lands and among them one nifty
chummy roadster,-the Country
Club. The Country Club is a
four passenger roadster finished
in battleship grey, black trim-
mings and red wire wheels. The
upholstery is of alligator design.
This car is the classiest produc-
tion of the Oyerland factory and
altho very light and neat, it has
ample room to carry four over-
sized grown persons and ample
power to go anywhere an auto-
mobile possibly can get, having a
four cylinder en-blook 32 horse
power motor.

Oysters in season. Courteous
treatment assured and a share
of your patronage appreciated.

NEW REVENUE BILL PASSES HOUSE
The new revenue bill which has
been under discussion this week
passed the House Thursday even-
ing by a strictly party vote. Demo-
cratic leader, Glaude Kitchen, led
the fight for the bill and succeeded
in flooring every Republican who
exercised no better judgement than
to undertake to heckle him,.duriner
the debate.. Mr. Kitchen is decid-
edly the best posted man in the
.House upon. the-tariff .qyqj&iA|j^and
his arguments are so forcefully pre-
sented that they carry conviction
with them. In his manner of de-
bate he reminds me of tile late
Judge Wells Thompson iVhen the
he was in his prime. While speak-
ing he also resembles Judge Thorn'p-
son very much in appearance and
facial expressions. The bill pro-
vides a tax on excess profits of
corporations, and on inheritances.
Its purpose is to meet the' deficit
caused by the preparedness; expan-
sion of the Government, and the
tax it levies will be principally paid 'Acuities.

the second thought. If a man can
clear One Thousand Dollars every
day in the year, including Sundays,
he would make $365,000.00 a year.
This would require nearly three
years to make One Million. He
would only have to keep this up for
290 years to make $105,850,000 00
which would be only $150,000.00
short of the amount it took the U.
S. Steel Company three loDg
months to work for.
Germany’s submarine block-
ade
The announcement last Thurs-
day of Germany’s intention to put
on the submarine blockade has
caused a deep sensation in Wash-
ington, and no one seems willing to
risk a guess as to what it may lead
to. Every effort possible will be
put forth to avoid more serious
complications but at this early
wr.ting nobody seems to be well
enough informed to give any infor-
mation. Members of the Texas
delegation are exceedingly desirous
that no more serious complication
may arise, and that a way may be
found to avoid more Berious dif-
by the munition plants, as their
net profits have been larger than

u. S. STEEL CLEARS $106,000,000
IN THREE MONTHS.
The United States Steel Corpor-
ation, for three months ending Jan
uaty 30, declared a dividend of 106
Million Dollars. This, the press
dispatches announce “exceeded the
most extravagant estimates.” The
different branches of this trust for-
merly built battleships for the gov-
ernment for six and seven million
dollars; That was before they had
succeeded in getting such a senti-
ment for preparedness worked up
amoug the people* That sentiment
is now so rampant thev are enabled
to charge the Government sixteen
million for a first-class battleship,
and it seems contracts cannot now
be closed for that sum. The com-
mittee on Naval Affairs was forced
to ask Congress for permission to
grant a maximum limit of nineteen
millions for battleship contracts,
the builders claiming they can no
longer construct them for sixteen
millions, the maximum heretofore
allowed. If these concern^ ' can
keep the ball rolling, the ppice will
soon go to Twenty Five ^Millions,
with contracts for three^ ships,
where they are now building only
two. One Hundred and $ix Mil-
lions profit in three monthd is real-
ly not iaucb if you will only take
mittee recently of the good work of
Geo. F. Burgess as a member of
that Committee. The following
from Congressman J. H. Small who,
if the Democrats control the next
House, will be the Chairman of the
Committee, is a fair expression of
the good words spoken on the floor
of the House bearing testimonial to
his fidelity to Texas:
“Our beloved colleague, Hon.
Geo. F. Burgess of Texas, is near-
ing the end of 16 years of service
during which time he has served
continuously on this Conffnittee,
with distinction to himself, and his
record is most clearly written in
the many works of public improve-
ment which he espoused and which
were adopted by Congress.”
Chairman Sparkman, at another
time, paid Mr. Burgess a high com-
pliment during an address, and
other members of the Committee
testify as to Mr. Burgess’ ability
and fidelity.
