THE QUANAH TIMES
July 3,1924.
THE QUANAH TIMES
Formerly The Quanah Observer and American
Published at Quanah, Hardeman County, Texas, every Thursday.
Uttered at Post Office at Quanah, Texas, as second-class maiL matter,
according to Act of Congress March 8, 1879.
C. C. WOODSON, Editor and Publisher.
SUBSCRIPTION RATE, One Year 11.50
Off Again Back Again
Two weeks have given the readers a nice
long vacation from reading "our stuff" which
doubtless has met with loud applause from every
section.
The force came in for considerable con-
gratulations on the papers they got out especially
the one last week when due to sickness Hank Yel-
vington failed to show up and the paper was pub-
lished and the regular work carried on which
many folks will consider a vast improvement.
In excusing ourselves for the long abscence
we feel that a vacation to other parts wherein we
find out what other folks are thinking and doing
is worth the time and effort for any man jn any
business because it gives you new vim, new vision
and new energy to go on with your work. Es-
pecially is this true of editors who get awfully dull
if they do not scout around every once in a while
for new material. If nothing else, the trip was
worth all the time it took just to find out for sure
that Quanah was the best town in West Texas
which fact we thoroughly established in our own
mind whether anybody else believes it or not.
An account of the trip appears on page one.

They say women do all the talking but at the
Texas Press Convention some editors we know
made talks so long that the longest tongued wo-
man in the world would have committed suicide
from sheer envy. Not only that but at the Na-
tional Democratic convention at New York the
shortest and most appreciated speech yet made
was 18 words long and it was made by a woman
while the men have torn the stars from their or-
bits with their veral barage, scorched the whisker
off his satanic majesty with their vituperation
and have dropped from exhaustion from their
own efforts in many instances. Four years from
now we are going to the National convention
as a delegate. Our experience as a college yell
leader ought to be sufficient experience to land
the job without a struggle if we may take the dem-
onstration hokum we read about at face value.

There seems to be a growing demand for
that Acme road. The story on page one of the
Tuesday issue of our local contemporary express-
es the opinion of a majority of the people we be-
lieve. This paper has advocated the road so
much that it almost blushes for saying anything
further about it. But it is important that we do
something. We can save money by doing it be-
fore the construction company that is now here
moves on. Canyon with 2,000 inhabitants has had
two miles more paving than Quanah and has on-
ly a 65 cent tax rate. We could get that paved
road and never know we were out any money for
it would pay for itself.

We are not going back on our raising and
vote anything but the Democratic ticket, not for a
while anyway, but that convention at New York is
about the most disgusting mess we've heard about
recently. The Dallas News editorial page gives
it a scorching rebuke in Monday's issue. It's
worth reading.

OUR HALL OF FAME
We are printing the Declaration of Inde-
pendence on page one this week on the supposition
that many may not be familiar with that docu-
ment at all except from hearsay and that none of
us are as familiar with it as we should be. Read
it again it will do you good.
