The Democratic convention is still

have been taken without selecting a

According to the Whitewright Sun,
the Cotton Belt station at that place

anticipation of a visit of high offi-

the announcement to the convention
that former Secretary Fall, the two

band burst forth with ‘The Stars and
Stripes Forever.’ One of the older
delegates suggested that ‘Down Went
M Ginty to the Bottom of the Sea’
would have been more appropriate.
But these modern bands don’t know
many of the old ditties.”

The Railroad Commisison of Texas
has very vital regulatory power af-
fecting property in our State valued
at nearly a billion and a half dollars,
including the railroads, express com-
panies, pipe lines and oil and gas
properties. The duties of the Com-
mission are today more varied and of
more importance than ever before in
its history. Clarence E. Gilmore,
chairman and senior member of the
Commissi n and who. is a candidate
for re-election for a second term, has
■ given intensive study to all these
problems. He has devoted every
moment of his time to the discharge
of his official duties with fairness
and impartiality to all. He has neith-
1 er played politics nor sought-to use
his position for political purposes. A
man with this vision of. the public
service should be retained at this im-
portant post by an appreciative pub-
lic on July 26th.

THE RETURN OF THE UN-
PRODIGAL SON
These Shoes not only
look well but they will
wear well. As is the
case with all our shoes;
the hidden material^;
and workmanship are.
up to the same high
standard as that in the
exposed portion of the
shoe. It is easy ta
quote our prices, but
hard to match our val-
ues.
Our remarkable shoe
values are due to our
policy of buying and
selling. Buying for our
hundreds of Stores en-
ables us to go direct to
the largest manufac-
turers, and secure val-
ues that are obtainable
only through volume
buying.
Then every shoe is
marked at a ]
which gives us a
profit, and remains at
that price. No extra
profits added in antici-
pation of a reduction
later.
you yourself lack the courage to sup-
port or attack over your own signa-
ture. The local paper is willing to
push any project in the public inter-
est, but it is not willing to pull chest-
nuts out of the fire for individuals or
minorities.—Cape Vncent (N. Y.)

A TEACHER’S DEVOTION
CAUSE OF HER DEATH
We recently read of the tragic
death of a primary teacher who died
as the result of the shock of seeing
one of her little pupils run over by
an automobile just after school had
been dismissed. The teacher was in
no sense to blame, and she could not
reproach herself for the accident, but
consciousness of deep responsibility
is the life habit of the teacher, and
her sympathy is always enlisted in
behalf of her pupils when there is
need of it. The sad death of this
teacher will arrest the attention of
thousands who never think of the
mothering of pupils, which is one of
the commonest and finest phases of
a school teacher’s work.
In brief, the teacher is the school
room substitute for the mother, and
in uncounted cases her affections are
drawn out by her pupils and enlisted
in their behalf MPith almost a mother’s
intensity of feeling. She works for
the boys and girls she loves, as wel’
as for others, who do not so stir her
heart, and because of this abounding
affection she strives doubly hard to
do her best and most for the children
who are in her charge six hours every
school day. If the world could real-
ize fully the wealth of devotion and
tenderness which is lavished daily up-

The average citizen feels quite cer-

than the editor, and if he were pub-

the editor does—put the soft pedal

It is well known that George
Christian, who was President Hard-
ing’s private secretary, is a Demo-
crat. The’fact got all the celebration
its rarity claimed for it at the time of
the appointment.
ally supposed*, probably
easing the mystification,
Christian was but an
Democrat, one whose affection
that party was platonic rather than
in any degree passionate,
sumption, apparently, was .not true.
Mr. Christian has been attending the
New York convention. He was not a
delegate. He was merely a spectat-
or, but a sympathetic one, he confid-
ed to the reporters, to whom he also
said he wished he could serve it as
reading clerk as he had preceding
Democratic conventions.
The incident is. an impressive re-
minder of one of the salient traits of
Mr. - Harding, a trait which was at
once a personal virtue qnd a pqliti-
cal fault. It was the trait of extreme
loyalty to the promptings of friend-
ship. It was friendship which moved
him to do the unprecedented thing of
finding his private secretary in the
ranks of the opposition party. In
that particular instance his indulg-
ence of his personal affection cost
him nothing. Mr. Christian served
him faithfully, and with fair effici-
ency if not with great ability. But
in other instances it cost him dear; or
rather his fame; for the iniquities
which will memoralize his administra-
ton long aftei' most of its honorable
achievements shall 1.^,^ _____
gotten were in large measure
consequence of his inability to
trust or say no to those who had won
his friendship.
Wandering about the hotel corri-
dors in New York in communion tvith
Democrats, Mr. Christian was sym-
bolical of the chief cause of the po-
litical odium which has posthumous-
ly attached to the name of one who
was upright and probably the best-
loved of our Presidents.—The Dallas
News.
