A town is just what the people
make it. It is useless to wait for
better things to turn up; the citi-
zens must turn them up them-
eelves. So if we want better con-
ditions in trade or any other line
in Pilot Point we must get busy
and go after what we want.
A moving picture company
has a representative at the Fat
Show at Fort Worth this week
taking films of the show, and in
this way the Fat Stock Show
will get some good advertising in
the other parts of the county.
The moving pioture is a great in-
vention and its utility in enter-
tainment and spread of knowl-
edge is not yet fully developed.
Mr. Bryan say the announce-
ment of Roosevelt's oandidacy
for the presidency was a publio
indiotment by the colonel him
self of the failure of Taft's admin
iatration. Further, he declares
Mait Zollner, a Rockwall coun-
ty farmer, has come out as a can-
didate for United States Senator.
In his announcement he says
"every human being in this world
and more so in the United States
and especially in Texas, is enti-
tled to an honorable living, and
you and I must see that all get a
living, particularly in Texas."
Nothing wrong about that—it
means equal rights to all and
spicial privileges to none. Mr.
Zollner might make a good Sen-
ator, but will never have a chance
to show his fitness in that line.
China's Example.
The establishment of a republic
in China, the first in Asia, under
which some 400,000,000 of human
beings will govern themselves,
will shake the thrones of the
world. We have regarded the
Chinese as a very backward
people in many respects, but
they have certainly surprised us
in the successful fight they have
made for the establishment of a
republic. It is a compliment
that these hundreds of millions
of people should pass over kings
and emperors and give the chief
executive of the new government
a title patterned after ours. The
papers have reported Japan as
using her influence to retain the
monarchy. Thatwae not unnat-
ural. The friends of the emper-
or could easily see that Chine's
example would inspire a desire
for a republic in Japan, just as
the reduction of the influence of
the house of lords in England
has weakened hereditary govern-
ment everywhere.—The Com-

TEXAS NEEDS
GREAT MEN
XXX. ENCHANTMENT
LEOPATRA sailed down the Nile and by her personal beauty
ljjv and the grandeur of her retinue, conquered Anthony and
with her charms held him captive until the sighs of Fulvia
blew up the fires in the Senate and the Roman government
crushed her crown. It is said this Egyptian beauty could, with
a smile, change the map of Europe, but with all her subtle charms
and native beauty, she is known as the "Serpent of the Nile."
Many a beautiful craft of gilded opinions is floating down thp
political seas and stirs us with the image of its beauty, but, likfc
the "Serpent of the Nile," its influence is degrading and its
practices destructive.

CLEOPATRA CAPTURING ANTHONY.
Let those who aspire to public leadership understand that
beauty and wisdom seldom walk together; that theories fair as
a poet's dream, when embraced, bite like a serpent and sting
like an adder and remorse, with all its vipers, will fill the land.
There is no better evidence of weakness in leaders than a deaife
to grasp at things that dazzle and glitter. Texas Needs Great
Men.

Merit System For Boy
Scouts.
R. M. Jacobus, Scout Master in
Orange, New Jersey, has devised
a merit system by which a re-
cord is kept of the good deeds
and the misdoings of Boy Scouts
It has worked successfully with
Jacobus and has inspired the
boys to.be more careful in their
conduct. Jacobus describes his
system as follow: "A Merit and
Demerit system has been put in
foroe in the troop. To begin ev-
ery member has 100 Merit points
to his credit. Thereafter if he
breaks any of the Troop Laws,
Scouts Laws or acts in a way un-
becoming a Scout he will have a
certain number of points deduct-
ed for each offense. Any mem-
ber getting as low as 25 points
will have to come before the
Troop Council, the members of
which decide what punishment
he is to recieve. On the other
hand any member doing some-
thing worthy receives a certain
number of points. All points of
merit or demerit are to be decid-
ed by the Scout Master whose de-
cision in every case is final. The
member having the highest num-
ber of points to his credit will re
ceive a prize at the end of each
three months. Apaong the of-
fenses for whioh demerits are
given are swearing, talking while
in ranks, disrespect of offioers of
the troop, lateness op absence
from meetings, failing to assem-
ble promptly when call is sound-
ed. Among things for which
merit points are given: regular
attendance, bringing in new
members, good appearance i n
dress, special acts of merit."
