1916.
INSPECT WARSHIPS.
President and Sirs. Wilson have been down or up
which over It Is to Newport News to Inspect some ol
Undo Sam's fighting machines. Wo imagine they found
the Pennsylvania and Mississippi about what tho doctor
ordered.
TEXAS TEACHERS TO MEET AT FORT WORTH.
Port Worth representatives won for their city tho
November- meeting of the Texas Teachers Association.
It Is expected that 4QQ0 delegates will attend. Tho Re
porter has always contended that a central location Is
best for State Associations.
BLACK HISTORY.
The lord high chancellor of England speaking at
Kclghley strongly condemned the suggested reprisals
for Zeppelin raids referring to tho present time as tho
black history" porlod. Baron Buckmastor Is right. If
ho had called It the dark ago It would have been
true.
ANKERS COMING.
Next week tho bankers como to Abllcno for tholr
Dlstrlci'.convpntlon. Alopg with tho Texas bankers a
train load or northern bankors will como. Abilene needs
to bo ready to put her best foot forward. Why not
depbrate the streets with colored electric glohcs a big
wcicomo Blgn and tho stores with bunting? Tho oppor-
tunity will bo' ours but ONCE.

PLAYING SUICIDE.
It Is but natural that children should "get tho habit"
nnd'play suicide as was tho caso In Dallas tho other day.
Almost ovory newspaper contains an account of from
ono to half doxen such tragedies. It seems thoro Is no
other way to run a aapcr but print the netvB yet tho
mixture that Is set before tho people Cach afternoon
and morning Is something frightful.

LYON SAYS ROOSEVELT BE NOMINATED.
General Cecil A. Lyon has returned to Texas from a
trip toNew York City announcing that Roosevelt will
bo tho next namlnoo of the Republican party. Tho Re-
porter has contended that much for some time. Tho
Progressives may merge with the Republicans but Mr.
I.yon Is wrong about it if he thinks tho Democrats will
merge with the Republicans as ho was quoted as say-
ing. Tho Democrats are going to noralnato and elect
Woodrow Wilson.
FIRE IN8PECTOR
AISITS
ABILENE.
The Reporter Is interested In tho recommendations
of State. Firo Inspector Smith regarding tho needs of
Abilene In keeping down fire losses. Mr. Smith Is emi-
nently correct when he urges that Abilene should adopt
the national electric code and that it be done now.
No town needs to pull up more on reducing fire risks
than Abilene. The smallest cities of the state enjoy
cheaper firo Insurance than we. It is a question of
the gravest importance to Abilene Ever preventable
fire should be prevented and every extreme hazard
should be removed. It- don't matter what individual Is
hurt Abilene should be cleaned of all bad firo fiska and
hatards. We have to come to it.
PRESIDENT HIBBEN'S ME8SAOC.
In his excellent Illuminating address upon tho sub
ject of 'Prepareduess" President John Grior Hibben of
Princeton university stressed particularly ana Jropres'
uively the importance of preparedness of the spirit.
t was a note admonishing us that our material in-
terests ambitions and prosperity are too apt to deaden
that spirit of unselfishness aa self-sacrifice which con-
btitutes the very eoul of our national being and that
this is true we have evidence enough every day
Prea4inf8 in a spiritual sense implies a sane -and
fervent patriot!? that holia honor dear that exalts a
natkw's lieala aad breathes ffrtq them the breath of
life. H implies a hla aense of aatloaar righteousness
a love of justice a hatred of wros and oppression nd

Straw Votes-
Several of Uio big dallleB of. the Btato are taking n
"straw vole" on preparedness to ascertain whether or
not the people of Texas are for or against the measure.
As some of our congressmen Rcem to have the proposi
tion mixed it is doubtful if the people at largo can vote
Intelligently on tho matter. Howover It Is quite likely
that tho people of Texas want bucIi "preparedness as to
insure tho respect of other nations for tho government

Colonel Huff might explain if he wero in an explanato-

were compiled with tho Fort Worth & Denver Railroad
in View not the Texas & Pacific. Abilene is not In
Wichita's territory any more than Wichita is In Abl-
lene's territorj U la true that Colonel Huff made his
challenge kind of latltudinous. Our recollection is that
he included the world the flesh aud tho forked-tonguer
in his defi but that was on account of a temporary
contusion resultant from mixing his poll tax .memoranda
with notes for a speech bniiillltary preparedness. When
Colonel Huff was cballenglngall creation t overcome

defying the powers and principalities of earth to set a
hostile foot on these hallowed shores. He simply got
