oer o commerce no uociors no news-
papers no wholesale houses no col-
leges. It would be a miserable sort
of place peopled by a miserable-sort
of people.
There is no danger that either the
doctors or tho newspapers or the
wholesale houses or colleges or any
A"
other Brownwood industries profes
sions or commercial enterprises will
leave the city. There is a danger that
the Chamber of Commerce may not
survive if compelled to go through
another year such as the year now-
closing has been. It might die be-
cause of insufficient nourishment and
it would "be a long and tedious -task
to revive it again.
On Thursday night of next week
there will' be an annual meeting and
banquet of the Chamber of Commerce.
It will be a meeting for everybody in
Brown county regardless of past or
present or future membership in the
organization. At this meeting the
Chamber of Commerce' vill be care-
fully examined and the people it un-
dertakes to serve will determine
whether they want to keep it alive.
There is !a strong probability that
they will want it to live a.fter they
have seen how much it lias been able
to do on short rations this "year.- At
any rate they will have an opportu-
nity to diagnose the case and deter-
mine upon the treatment that is to be
given. The meeting ought to be at-
tended by five hundred men and wom-
en because there are more than that
number who are really interested in
the Chamber and are able to pay a
dollar for a dandy good dinner.
Keep the date in mind Thursday
November 16th at 7 p. ra and let
nothing conflict with it It is going
to' be everybody's meeting and every
body should be there.
THE OLD HOME TOWN
BY STANLEY
-I'NDT GUMP is a purely fictitious
41 character created by the cartoon-.
istC Sidney Smith for the amusement
-
of those who delight in the daily news
'paper comic strip. According to Mr.
"'Smith's development of this jcomic
character Andy is a candidate for"
Congress In some unnamed state run-
ning as an independent "100 per cent
for the people" and "wearing no man's
collar.' However in all probability
Andy Gump received a number of per-
fectly legal votes for United States
Senator in today's general election in
Texas- It was just 'as easy to write
his .name on the ballot as to write
12arie B. Bayfield or George E. B. Ped-
y and a number of. voters probably
had little choice between the three.
x. Of course the state Is the principal
sufferer. Such a campaign as that
which began last January and contin-
tied until today could have no other
effect .than a destructive one; for it
has brought out and emphasized all
inai was maicvoient ana destructive
in the citizenship. The state of Texas
.is one of the greatest in the union
and is entitled to representation by
real statesmen in the national coun-
cils. But the number of genuine
-statesmen representing this state in'
. the lower house of Congress can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
and the state's offering for member
ship in the United States Senate is
similarly Inferior. There are great
and good men in Texas men who
would reflect credit uon the state and
the nation if given places in the na-
tional Congress; but so long as the
people tolerate such politics as has
..been engaged in this year these men1
are going to remain in private life.

on a political spree for the past eight
or nine months and it is now time to
sober up. In Brownwood and through
out the state there are local issues
surpassing in importance anything
that-may develop in connection with
this yearls campaign. These issues

while new subways new buildings and
other improvements are being made
a writer says that "New York will in

ed." But New York will never be fin-
ished because it is such a fine city
that It keeps growing keeps improv-
ing. The city whose streets arc never
littered by bricks and earth and whose
thoroughfares are never cluttered with
the debris of progress are finished already.

To The Bulletin:
I notice that the Chamber of Com
merce is undertaking quite a job in
the way of a very larse bond issue
for the purpose of building good roads.
While I appreciate the interest they
are taking in this matter and the view
they take of It. but if I may I will
say frankly it is a mistake to un'ler-
tack such a largrf bond issue at this
time. j I am speaking from a farmer's
viewpoint. I believe that we farmers
realize the need. and value of good
roads as much as any one but owing
to tho conditions in the county at this
time I think It will be l difficult mat-
ter to carry through.
You know the larmers have not
-made expenses fn three or four years
so I doubt that they willingly will
take on an extra tax. I believe in
progress and do not think there :s pny
middle ground. When progression
stops retrogression begins and we do
not want retrogression anywhere but
should do the most important things;
first -While good roads are very im-j
portant especially to u- larmers !
there are at this time two other mat--
ters that 1 think more "urgent If pos
sible than good roads. 1 will mention
first room and means to educate the
children of this city and county. It
seeni o mo that these needs are
more uenl just now "--an the 6od
jo'ads. J'hen there is the water qucs
tion which needs to b thought of
along with the other needs mention-
ed above.
Lest we forgot and wake up some
July morning and find we have a wat-
er famine in our city.' to neglect these
last twoj matters will cause more in-
jury to the city and county than the
bad roads at this time in my opinion.
We cannot take care of all" these
matters at the same time so what
shall we do about it?
