Just as Happy.
The shock absorbers on the
Denver line in Fort Worth are
now wearing just the broadest
kind of Christmas smiles. These
ohief clerks are as happy as clams
at low tide or a bride at a wed-
ding. The cause of this great
and gleeful rejoicing is that of-
ficial notice has been given that
the last one of the nabob right*
handers has reoeived an advance
in salary averaging nearly 20
per oent.
Of all the lines in the State the
Denver is in a better position to
show a substantial appreciation
of good work done. That has
had a remarkable year from an
earning standpoint and it is the
only line in the State that went
olear thru the stringency without
having statements of business
done that looked like a frazzled
hope.
1 I ( 11 v 11 Mil t f < <<i the shook
absorbers of both thq traffic and
the transportation ends, includ-
ing a few others who can not be
acoounted as strictly belonging
to either of these sustaining de-
partment.s
More Bootlegers Caught.
Saturday night Sheriff Cochran |
and deputy Mel Dwight ran in
two more bootleggers who have
been plying their nefarious trade
in Childress Their names are
Morris Jones and A. W. Manley.
Two case are filed against Jones
and one against Manley.
Thursday a U. S. Marshal
came to Childress and took the;
two Cowan brothers before the
federal court on a charge of sell- :
ing liquor without license. They
had already been found guilty in
the county oourthere.
It is thought a sentenoe to the
federal prison may have a eafu
tary effect on this business.
Teddy Roused; After Editors
Chicago, 111., Deo 8.—William
DudleyFoulke of Richmond. Ind.,
has just given out correspond-
ence which has taken place be-
tween himself and President
Rosevelt, in which the President
severely arraigns IJelevan Smith,
editor of the Indianapolis News,
and others for what is termed
malicious falsehoods during the
campaign just closed.
The letter is a document in de-
fence of the President himself
and his administration, as well
•is Mr. Taft. It is a very lengthy
article and calls certain news-
paper men nothing if not liars,
and shows that their editorial re-
marks have out deep into the
flesh of the President, who is be-
coming touchy on the subject of
criticisms.
In his answer Mr. Roosevelt
says: "Therefore, as I am con-
cerned, I would rather make no
answer whatever in this case.
But I have much confidence in
your judgement, and if you feel
that these men ought to be ex-
posed, why, you are welcome to
publish this letter. There is no
higher and more honorable oal-
ling than that of the man con-
nected with an upright, fearless
and truthful newspaper; no call-
ing in which a man can render
greater service to his fellow
countrymen. The best and ablest
editors and writers in the daily
press render a service to the com-
munity which can hardly be
paralleled by the service render
ed by the best and ablest men in
public life or the men in business.
"But the converse of this pro-
position is also true. The most
corrupt financiers, tho most
corrupt politicians are no greater
menace to this country than the
newspaper men of the type I
have disoussed. Whether they
belong to the yellow press or to
the purchasable press, whatever
may be the stimulating cause of
their slanderous mendacity, and
whatever the cloak it may wear,
matters but little. In any event
they represent one of the potent
orces before us for evil in the
ommunity."
