Last week the editor bought a
nice kitchen cabinet from H. M.
Kight db Son. A few days later
a friend of ours called our atten-
tion to the same cabinet adver-
tised in Sears-Sawbuck & Co.
catalogue. We found on careful
investigation that Mr. Kight had
sold us the Kitchen cabinet FOUR
dollars less than the Mail Order
house. We say this to show you
that ordering from mail order
houses does not pay fromafinan-
icial as well as business stand-
point. When you buy at homo
your money will come back to
you, but when the mail order
house gets it it is gone for good.
If mail order houses are selling
so cheap why is it that every one
of them in the country has grown
from a few dollars investment to
forty and fifty million d~liar in-
stitutions? They skinned the
people out of this money And you
know it. Beware of mail order
institutions.

ON TEXAS ECONOMIC LEAGUE.
In assisting In tlie organization or (lie Taxse Economic
league, it.y motive wus to help form an association that
could voice the sentiment and promote the Interests of
those engaged In producing and distributing the product?
of tho earth. Having belonged to thin class all my life
unJ having occupied various positions in business from
laborer to manager and owner, 1 have come in personal
contact with most of the hardships nrcoitnti-reri by vhof s
engaged in productive pursuits and 1 feel that much of
the suffering we undergo is preventable and that Im-
proved conditions can be easily brought about through
a more active and Intelligent citizenship. I have r*:.fde«j
In Texas for eighteen years and during that time have
b.-en actively jLa.ulfled with many lines of business, and in direct touch with
industrial conditions of the state, it hati been my aira to Influence capital to
lexas, to give employment to labor and to t e Texas institutions spread over
the globe.
I have faith In the people and In th<> future or the State and I want
who i'< <-1 likewise and have a permanent Interest lu the SU.te'« welfare
0 join me in this work. The only qualification In that Citizenship, federal,
--tate and Community In the ordor named, be placed abovs class littered. and
1 more diligent study of the Declaration of Independence and the ^ouitltutiort
jt the United States ho pursued.
The men engaged in productive pursuits should mantje eivtUtittcs.. Much
of the incompetency and Inefficiency in our public affairs Is the raiult c'f
indifference and Impatience of the producing classes In dealing with Important
; ublic problems, leaving their solution to the non-producing denes, wbc
hould take orders from, and not give orders to. society. If business men,
tanners, laborers and all factors ^n productive Industry would discharge more
fully the responsibilities of citizenship, many of the fundamental evils treui
which we suiter would automatically disappear, revealing a more capable and
efficient commonwealth. I have unbounded faith in nur system of govern-
ment and believe that the serious difficulties which w« encounter re due <r.
incompetency and degeneracy of important branches of government and soci-
ety over which the citizenship, as a whole. has neglected to v >< i;--e a proper
supervision and has failed to demand a high uru.v of ■•fflel i and Iti'egtity.
We should look to the Declaration of Independence and tV- Constitution
of the United States for guidance and apply their principles to the problems
of the day. Ae citizens we enter into a contract with government as the
"party of the first part" and unless we perform the services agreed, we buvt
110 right to Rhare tho benefits of government, and certainly no cause foi
complaint against organized society f*>r evils which the performance of on
duty as citizens would easily correct. We want to invite the peopl? of Texa
to study and discuss citizenship, determining our rights and privileges mide
government with a view of enjoying mo--' fully th 'ife, liberty and pm-:ui
i>f happiness set forth in the Declaration 0f lndop< nii^t.ce u:.d guarauteei
