TUESDAY AUGUST 17 1909.
Small Debts Accumulate Rapidly
Small savings do likewise. The man or woman who starts either to save or to spend is surprised at the result. Spending every thing means
continual worry perhaps a mountain of debts. Saving putting by a little each week means a stack of dollars and "that comfortable feeling." Which
are you doing? Let us hope that you have elected to save in the future if not in the past. Better begin right now by opening an account with us.
We offer you absolute safety.

. of the right of way. All will agree to controlled by regulation but only
-that proposition. It would insure the
commercial and manufacturing su-
premacy of Brownwood and place it
beyond all fear of competition from
ambitious rivals. It is true that a
quarter ot a minion is quite a sum oi
money but with the proper men to
head an enterprise and work out its
details that amount ought to be rais-
ed here. The mere announcement that
it would be done would immediately
bring the town and country to such

therefore appear that the cost would
really be nothing for those who would
go into such an enterprise would like-
ly he those who would reap the great-
est returns from increase in the prop-
erty values.
Like all other big undertakings the
main thing that is needed is leadership
confidence. Brownwood can easily be-
come a great city a wonderful city
if only our property owners once get
the Idea into their heads that it can
be done and then determine that it
must be done. Our greatest trouble
is our extreme conservatism our dis-
position to delay a matter until some :
other place has secured the advantage
of it. We ought to get out of this
habit; and get the idea that it is near-
ly as easy to do great things as it is
to spend our lives in little undertak-
ings. But will we do it?
THE RECORD. AND PROHIBITION.
The -best argument the Bulletin has
seen in many a day for state wide
prohibition Is tlu- Ft. Worth Record's
denunciation of the saloons on ifell's
Half . Acre. Saloons in that part of
Fort Worth are no worse than saloons
would be anywhere else in Texas but
for the constant dread of the law. The
only way to regulate the saloon is
to suppress it. Hell's Half Acre is
right up to the business part of Fort
Worth it is a well lighted district
that is closely policed but it is in-
habitated by a people who have long
brazenly defied law. The Record
says: "Regulation there is a dis-
graceful and appalling failure and
nothing remains but to nail up the
doors." The Record could weu nave
added tnat regulation every where
while perhaps not in the sumo pro no r-
lou. Is the same" failure ami that
everywhere the saloon Is the "prop"
of crime just as it Is in that diet riot
of Fort Worth. The Record's the-
ories about saloon regulation are very
prettbnt Umo has shown that they
do not work out the reforms that the
Record at heart hopes to bring about
in the liquor traffic. The only way to
regulate an evil is the remedy sug-
jgested by the Record for Hell's Half
Acre; "nail up. the doors." Anything
less than this is farcical in the extreme.
!
i The Bulletin does
not contend that
state prohibition would completely do
away with the liquor traffic but it
' would do away with these "props" of
crime that have resulted in such a
rti
disgraceful condition of affairs in Fo
through extermination.
WATCH WILLIAM'S PREDICTIONS.
Editor Mayes is figuring out for the
Santa Fe's operating department now.
Temple can be put on a branch and
Brownwood put on the main line. Not
on your life William. The main line
trains will be dispatched right through
Brownwood with the Fort Worth end
a jerk water proposition. Under the
sixteen hour law Brownwood will get
the lay over of the crews however
and you should therefore be satisfied.
Temple Tribune.
The Bulletin would not take any-
thi.ng from the glory or the greatness
of Temple but Temple would do well
to watch the predictions of "Editor
Mayes." When the cut-off is ..built and
the Santa Fe puts on its traffic ar-
rangement with the Frisco freight
from between Cleburne Fort Worth j
Dallas and all north Texas points and
the Pacific coast will be diverted
through Brownwood. To add to this
all the freight from Temple and
south Texas points will come this
way. If this doesn't mean that Brown
wood will handle about twice the- bus-
iness that Temple will- see then the
Bulletin Is a' mighty poor sort of a
prophet. Of course the main
line
trains will come right through Brown-
wood but that "jerk water proposi-
tion" will be a mighty big end of the
business and together with the "lay
over" of the main line crews here
Brownwood must become a big point
on the Santa Fe map and profit great-
ly thereby. Watch Brownwood grow.
Word comes -from Belton that such
activity hasn't been known for six-
teen years. Did Brother Mayes speak
too soon or is this a response? In
the meantime let every ' Beltonite
camp on the 1. and G. N. cut-off. Wa-
co Times-Herald.
At any rate it is enough to know
that Belton is getting as active as a; J
volcano in the tropics. Suppose we
meet down there some day and cele-
brate Brother Robinson.
Editor Robinson invites Wacoitcs to
go out to the country club and drink

is Mangum Water anyway?-
.
Fort Worth may never discover who
killed -Policeman Campbell but Fort
Worth can easily .locate Hell's Half
Acre and should at once set about ex-
terminating this disgraceful spot.

Again the Bulletin wishes to suggest
that there is a 'market' to lie had for
ten times the 'number of brick .that
Brownwood Is manufacturing and that J

the advantage of" this- demand.

Stubbs pretended great surprise and
indignation at . this discovery and

tion. It was a great political coup de

tate and its success depended on the.'
faithfulness of that board of directors.!
But they accepted his resignation and
made public his letter to them. It
almost equalled the work of some Tex -
as politicians who talk about putting
! the trust magnates in stripes but
vote at every opportunity to put them
in palaces only the Texas politicians
are too smart to be caught like Stubbs.

. . . CREATES A PANIC.
And now the telegram tell us that
we are threatened with another ses-
sion of the legislature. We have stood
the panic and the drouth pretty well
but this las: news is almost too much
for us to bear. Lei us hope that it is
merely the report of som& ambitious
newspaper'- reporter whose supply of
items had . run short. Brownwood
Bulletin.
The. talk of another called session
of the legislature to meet in January
has almost created a panic but every-
body ought to be philosophical and
console themselves with the idea that
there is nothing so bad but that it
might be worse. Fort Worth Star-
Telegram. The commercial agricultural and
industrial interests of Texas are not
wanting an extra eession of the legis-
lature. The only demand appears to
be political and Texas will hardly
stand for that now.
LIVELIEST OF THE BUNCH.
Brown county made a gain of $600.-
000 In taxable values over last year
and also added more than 500 names
to the tax list. That's growing some.
Pioneer Exponent
That is a good showing but it In-
dicates the general prosperity of the
country. We have grown some in the
past year but the growth is small
compared with what Is expected an
other year. This country has just
come into a realization of its real
worth. and we are going to do some-
thing to let the rest of the world
know us. Brownwood Bulletin.
And the Bulletin is one of the live
liest of the bunch when it comes to
letting the "world know us." That
creamery and broom factory you are
after will be good things for Brown-
wood. Let Texas "grow. Fort Worth
Star-Telegram.
And the Bulletin is going to keep
talking creamery and broom factory
and more brick plants and everything
else for the good of this country un-
til the whole- world will sit up and
watch Brownwood grow
