Wo are wondering
where Sam
Can't Forget His Old Love
Sam Braswell, editor of the
Clarendon News, came from East
Texas and ever and anon his heart
comes a flutter when a memory
Of the old home grounds comes
across his vision. He lives in the
West but he cannot forget the
flesh pots and watermelons back
"yander." He will never get over
being a tenderfoot until he begins
to love the West, and he will never
begin to love the West until he
knows the West. He will never
know the West until he becomes
imbued with the spirit of the
West that makes every man the
master of his own mind, the
the friend of all humanity, and
the menial of none, whether poli-
tical, commercial or social. Car-
rying on his heart to this day the
lessons duly implanted in him by
the political bosses of East
Texas, naturally he wants to
fight any time anybody shows
any inclination to throw off that
bossism. Until Sam comes out ol
the halter and thinks for himself
he isn't a true Westerner. Read
his sentiments of last week.
"If the question of dividing
Texas ever becomes an issue—and
we don't for a moment believe
any of this generation will ever
live to see it—the News will have
something to say and some facts
to lay on the table to show the
utter foolishness of the proposi-
tion emanating from jealousy and
over-ambition."
Come, come, Sammy, don't make
faces at us. If there is a nigger
in the wood pile, yank him out
and let's see how big his eyes are
when he is really and truly
"skairt." You say this generation
will never live to se"e the question
of the dividing of Texas an issue
and then you warn us that' when
it does come you will be Johnny on
the Spot to knock the thing gaily
west. If it is going to be a propo-
sition for future generations
would it be entirely amiss for us
to ask as to just how you are go-
ing to make your come back tc
fight the thing?
As to the utter foolishness of
the thing, it is not within our
province to decide, but if so then
Braswell has called the turn on
aomfe of the most eminent jurists
the best political and economic
authorities of the state, and on
some of the editors of the largest
publications in the state. It is
Strange that the question is so
Utterly foolish with them and it
remained for Sam to so designate
it.
As to it emanating from jeal
ousy and over-ambition, this is
just a little too vague and indefi
nite to discuss. If it is jealousy
for a man to want his rights ot
voice and vote in this era of ultra
democracy, the right to say where
the money that he pays in taxes
goes too, the right <to want his
money spent in developing his own
section, then it is indeed jealousy
If over-ambition means wanting
to get out from under the neck of
political bosses and stand up and
be a man and think for yourself
and vote for your own firesides,
then we guess one of the motives
is over-ambition.
Braswell says: "The various-
sections of Texas may be unfair to
one another, but we doubt if
either one is able to cast the first
stone at the mother."
Where has Sam been raised all
his life ? The statement is too ab-
surd to need disproving. Any one
who has read Texas political
history knows that West Texas
has been made the goat during all j
the history of the state. After
Sam gets better acquainted with
West Texas he may recall that
statement. He continues:
"There are a number of states
that pay more taxes than Texas
does, but they have made no move
to divide yet."
More niggers in the wood pile.
Bring them out and let's see them.
Getting dowrt to hard pan. Bras*'
Well is unfair in casting asper-
sions at the men who want to di-
vide Texas. All those men who
have talked division liave done so
purely from a clean motive, and
that was that it would be best for
all parts of the state. There is
no dark fearsome scheme of any
kind, no political ambitions tc
satisfy. Just a desire to do the
thing that is to the interests of
the population of the state. If
there are incontrovertible facts
against a division, let's have
them. If figures will prove the
fallacy of the move, let's have
them. We are not prejudiced in
the matter, and if we are wrong
we want to get right.
But it just naturally nettles a
man for his motives to be ques-
tioned because he happens tc
fhlnk for himself and was never
raised to bow the neck to the
is going to find the states that
pay more taxes than Texas does
but granting for the sake of dis-
cussion that maybe there are a
few such states.. We should in-
deed regret to know that Texas
patterns after the sorriest states
in the Union, altho Braswell
virtually concedes that by making
such a statement.
Our ideal is for our homeland I
not to be classed with the sorriest!
states in the Union, but to be'
looked to as the leader of them
all in development, in education.!
in the righteousness of its laws,
in political economy and privileg-
es; in short in democracy of the
100 per cent Americanism kind.
Northwest Texas is so consti-
tuted as to make the best state
in the nation. Here we have the I
middle ground of all climates.
Not too far north nor too far
south; not too far east nor too
far west. Here we have the true
Western characters selected and
elected from the best people of all
other sections and states, people
who came to the Panhandle
seeking a home to establish a
great commonwealth. Their ideals
are the highest, their democracy
i.-, the purest, and their purposes
are the cleanest. These are the
reasons why they would form an
ideal state, and these are the
reasons why our people are rest-
less under the iron hand of state
politics which virtually leaves us
without representation in our own
government.

Just a Little Fun
Some one said to us: "Say
aren't you editors getting a little
too rough on each other once in
ja while? Such exchange of t i
pliments of the dark character
seems to me is liable to cause
1 disturbance."
I We hasten to assure that the
j is nothing serious connected wi
our newspaper repartee. In t
old days editors often scratc:
I each other in a derogatory y,
! from malice and enmity, but t
modern spirit of journalism
above that. We sometimes
change humorous comment
for fun, for a little divers: >n ti-
the grind. There are in these <1.
editors with thin skiiis and qui
tempered sensibilities, but
(speaking of the editors as an
sociation and not individua<1v
either teach them to stay in out
the wet so they won't get
wrought up or just ignore th~.-
An editor who can't take a
good naturedly shouldn't h
them out.
