J How about that now year resolution? Did youninka it?
f not perhaps you should yet try your hand. '
! A fine time this to think nnd. plan for tho manufac-
lirlng enterprises. Abilene needs the smoke "Slacks.
Tho Reporter is no jirophet or sou of a prophet but
elloves President Taft'a now Supremo Court Is going
put tho interests guessing'.
Those who have been wishing for a genuine freeze
hhould be satisfied. If the bursted water mains and ser-
fico pipes over Abilene indicato anything it certainly s
I hat it has been cold.
Fires are occurring with considerable regularity In
lumbers of towns' and cities over the state and United
States and it would not be out of placo to suggest that
Ibilene folks bo careful about starting trash fires etCi
Tho Atlanta Constitution suggests that if you had re-
ceived an aeroplane for n ChristmaB present thai. you
might not have been "among those" present" "at thq New

you might think for atat first thought. .
"I am going to try to think nnd speak more kind!'
of everyone this year" is a fine resolution and one- that
many need to make. Not that you hurt the other folks
ly talking and thinking hard thlihs aboutj them but
lor tho good you will get out of tho thing yourself. It
Is impossible think pleasant thoughts without being
pleasant and congenial. It is a good business proposl-

Tho Texas state legislation will soon be In session at
Austin and its efforts should bo more largely devoted
to repealing BOmo of the obnoxious laws now upon the
statute books than in framing additional ones. Too much
law is as bed as too little law and the general disposi

The Texas Commercial Secretaries Association has In-
vited Elbert Hubbard Writer lecturer and business man
Jp visit Texas and Investigate the magnificent opportuni-
ties and resources -of tho state and Mr. Hubbard advises
that he will accept the invitation and expects to dovoto an
entire Issue of the Fra magazine to singing tho praises
or Texas. His writings excel In light and power that
o any modem author and In choosing Texas for his
theme ho bas selected tho biggest subject before tho
American people today and 0110 that is capable of en-
larging the pocket booiryrt every pltlzen in tho United
States.
Don't let It make you unhappy because tlio people who
Until 1 come after you will have more and better facilities

thing than you have. If wind Ib used for fuel if pneu-
matic tubes aro substituted for railroad trains if flying
machines are as common place as buggies and wagons
It crops are grown In one- night and day what djfferenco
does it make? Tho thing or concern to us who aro now
alive is to do the bcBt wo can. Maybo when folks are
enjoying such things as wo nume above you will be an
angel.
If. credited with saying that McJsant went to his death
irom reckless daring and that tho "stunts" that Mois-
ant undertook will not be ntempted by himself or others
of the bird men. Hamilton Is a great aviator and It Is
to bo hoped that he will curb himself and bo content with
tho wonderful and thrilling experiences of flying with
every precaution without subjecting himself to tho great
danger of the "stunt" crnzo The blood of an American
makes it almost impossible for him to Btop in tho bouuds
of reason no mator what ho goes Into and the applause
of tho public is tho greatest or all incentives to urge a
man on to his death. There should be a law prohibiting
certain daring feats which aviators right a'nd tho public
ought to put Ita stamp of disapproval on thorn Instead or
giving approval and applauding tho recklessness that
prompts tho undertaking of them.
Abilene has entertained the Texas Teachers' Association
and that w'lth credit to herself und now for tho next
thing. That next thing Is a great big one too. It Is tho
pecurlng of a now charter for the city. Porbapa not
before has Abilene faced so serious and vital a proposi-
tion. Every man woman and child In the city Is directly
Interested In its proper solution? Tho council will con-
sider tills subject Tuesday January 11th. and tho busi-
ness men of Abileno should be studying tho needs of
tho city for they will bo'nBked to consult with tho coun-
cil in getting tho charter Justus it should bo In order
that It may best meet tho needs ofth peoplo of the city
AMERICA AN ASYLUM FOR CRIMINALS
.ucoiaring mat tnc 'suuauon grows -more Beriouarycar
upon ydar" tho Washington Post directs to the attention
of congress the necessity of legislation that jyfl put a
check to tho Influx of foreign criminals Into a country
through our various immigration stations.

thorough elimination of tho fit from tho unfit. Ja
Regarding this condition the Post says; '' j
"Tho fundamental defects In tho law have beoriyuied
or remedlcal legislation Tho present lawj'contiys-(t)I
adequate provision for forretlDg out the criminal allons by I
means or looking up their records in other countries I
Worse still tho method of Inspection at our ports as j
provided by tho law is admittedly n failure with respeet
to the detection of Immigrants or tho orlminnl clnss."
America has a problem sufficiently serious In handling
Its own criminal product without taking on those of oth-
er nations. And yet under existing regulations or rath-
or lack of them tlu" foreigner with an actual criminal
i-cord or a Inwlcss bent has ilttlo trouble In getting past
tho inspectors on Ellis Island nnd nt other stations.
As n result the task pf checking triii'p especially In th
larger eastern cities opd in those labor districts or Pcnn-

national authorities.
Other nations are not burdened with this dilemma.
They take proper steps lo keep a finger on tho records
(if the men or women seeking entrance Into their bounda-
ries; and In the majority of cases the discrimination prac
tlced is rigid.

selves but unconsciously abet the erlmlnol classes of

There are some old customs that ruled in the past that
aro still very dear to me. I especially refer to the time-
honored custom of eating food with a knife and drink-
ing roffeo out of a saucer. My wife has tried'every way on
earth to get me to discard the knife nnd the saucer but
to Save my life I can't do It. I certainly believe that I
would starve to death If I had to depend on eating with
a fork and as to drinking coffee out pf a cup I never
tried It uut(once and came In an Inch o( burning my
tongue orr. I have bowed with submission to 'many do-
ciees of custom in the last twenty years. Ten years ago
I parted with my whiskers which were tho apple or my
eye because fashion decreed it; I have worn a collar
that has jabbed my ears out of placer because of fashion
and my wife proclaimed it the proper thing; I have worn
pantlegs so tight that the blood would not circulate In
my legs und again I have worn them so loose that they
flapped around my classic limbs like a lady's skirt. All
or these things have been done by me to satisfy thj de-
mands of my wife and custom but when it comes to eat-
ing pie nnd other stuff hard ta handle with a fork
and drinking hot coffee out of a cup In order to satisfy
piecious fashion I buck and refuse to budge an lnrh.

Tho bee business is on tho hum in Texas sa"5s the Com-
mercial Secretaries' Association and Texas honey like
till other Texas products command tiptop prices. Re-
ports from the Uvalde country where this Industry is
moro prominently in evidence than in any other section
of the auto say that tho honey crop for 1010 is larger
than for any preceding year. This increase in honey' is
easily accounted for by tho fact that Texas prosperity Is
contagious and even the bee who Is considered tin.-
paragon of industry is taking lessons from the progres-
sive element that is striving to make TcNas greater and
1h working overtime to make tho output of the hives a
Ilttlo larger each year. United effort and-co-operation
after all Is tho foundation of all prosperity and the bee
is n living exponent on a small scale of this mighty
commercial doctrine for the thousands of bees as they
fclp tho honey from the fragrant Texas flowers work
in harmony and unison in their intrlcato task of con-
structing tho luscious honey comb and aro contributing
Ir their own small way to an Industry which bids fair
to take first rank In Texas enterprises.
