A YEAR OF PROMISE
This is a year of prospects and promises for all Texas in
general, for Temple, Bell comity and Central-West Texas in
particula r.
Farm and ranch lands, after a three years' drouth, are
, in the best condition ever known, and the prospect of a great
da!l* 'harvest, at fair prices is extremely good.

be fully developed for ten years, and should produce for
another ten years after development.
Truly, then, this is a year of prospects and promises for
Texas in general, and for Bell county and Central-West
Texas in particular.
Therefore, the activities of the Temple Chamber of Com-
merce just now are very timely, and if successful should be
productive of much good to the city and community.
The city of Temple occupies the same relative position to
. the great prospective oil fields extending from Bell county
;for a hundred or more miles west as the city of Fort Worth
of'occupies to the great oil fields of North-West Texas. Temple
is the gateway, and should be the supply center of the west.
Tract it ally all the supplies for the territory for a hundred
! miles west of us must pass through Temple.
Literally hundreds of millions of dollars must be spent
in the development of that territory. Tens of thousands of
workmen must be employed. Millions of tons of machinery
and equipment must be handled. Pipe lines, storage tanks
land refineries must be built. Hotels, houses and office build-
lings must, be provided for the big men who will tlock to this
!section by the thousands when the big territory is dotted over
I with a few producing wells.
Of course, the field may not pan out. But we have the
assurances of the same geologists and oil experts who located
the North-West Texas fields that it will pan out. The counties
of Lampasas, Mills, San Saba. Brown and Coleman, extending
i to the west of us are already practically proven, while the
(counties of Bell. Bosque, Coryell, Falls, Milam and William-

THfO BRITISH VIEW OF AMI RK A
AN1) THE LEAGUE.
liord Robert Ocil of Great Britain
in speaking of the war, America and
the proposed league of nations said
recently:
'The war, left ihe United States in
a position of enormous power. With
that gigantic power goes great re-
sponsibility to the world at large
and to herself. The peace of the
world is not only a European, hut
an American Interest. America can
not afford to say that she has no
Interest in what goes on in Europe.
If she did she would be false to the
world at large and to herself."
America's interest In Europe Is in-
direct rather than direct, so far as
case before the war, and it is Mill
form an alliance against us. They
couldn't do otherwise under a world
balance of power policy.
Danger lurks In secret alliances
and in secret diplomacy—and the
main object of the league of nations
is to prevent these things. That is
why America "cannot afford to say
that she has no interest in what
goes on in Europe."
<1,1 IIS I'lI,I,EI) WITH STRAW.
Senator laenroofs warning that
congress may pass a resolution end-
ing the war with Germany and
throw the peace treaty in the waste-
basket if President Wilson insists
upon incorporating the league of na-
! tions project in the document, is
I more surprising than it is alarming.
It is surprising because few of us
have thought of ending the war in
that way; it is not alarming because
the congress hardly has tin
to defy the people of this
and the allied countries in
radical, bolshevik manner.
Dispatches from Paris
that the league of nations co
Hon is to be attached to the
terms of the treaty are announced it
will probably be seen that they are
tlhreaded Inseparably with Ihf pro-
visions of the world society.
Senator 1 .enroot lakes the position
that ending the state of war Is the
most fmportant thing to be accom-
plished; the matter of preventing fu-
ture wars is of minor consequence.
The world does not take that view.
The people of this country do not
want a peace by resolution with
Germany. They do not want a soviet
peace. Tlie people of this country
want some guarantee against a repe-
tition of what has taken place dur-
ing the last four years worse than
they crave for a formal announce-
ment that our quarrel with Germany
is over.
Senator I .enroot laconically re-
marked that the supposed club over
the senate of postponing peace Is
stuffed with straw. The club he pro-
poses to put in the hands of con-
gress is made of the same stuff.
The mightiest of all clubs, however,
is the the one held over both the
president and the emigres by tlie
people—and ihe people want a last-
ing peace. This club is not made
of straw.
