AN OP1TS LETTER
Temple, Tex, Nov. 39.
Stap Party Association:
Gentlemen:—it lias b#en about a
week since you staged your annual
Thanksgiving stag party, but it is
still being talked on the streets and
I hear many nice things about the
rollicking good time you had and the
remarkably clever speeches deliver-
ed. Everybody who attended the
function is now in the right humor
f* attend another one just like it.
I hav<? heard some of the leaders
ia the Stag Party association remark
that the wonderful success of the
Thanksgiving event this year should
furnish a tip for making the forth-
eaniing celebration similarly suc-
cessful, and I cannot let slip the op-
portunity to declare publicly that I
hold the came conviction. It is all
right to have one serious and elo-
quent speech at the annual gather-
lag, but. when people attend a func-
tion of this kind they want to relax
and laugh themselves oat of breath.
By beginning preparations early, as
jwu did for tha 1920 party, you can
make the 1921 affair surpass all
others in point of a wholesome, rol-
licking time—and this can be done
easily because of the enthusiasm
which lingers over the event of last
week.
All Temple is proud of what you
have built into a regular Thanks-
giving institution, aiii it Is a feath-
er in the cap of the stag party that
the twenty-eighth celebration of its
kind was more successful and popu-
lar in many ways than any of the
twenty-seven others preceding it.
The best thing I can wish for you is
tfcat the twenty-ninth annual event
will be even more popular than the
twenty-eighth. 1 express that wish
sincerely.
Yours very truly,
EDITOR TELEGRAM.
Anyway, th& Florence vicinity can
toast of having been visited by two
highwaymen of metropolitan habits.
Environment often shapes our
dwstiny. That Buzzards Bay mEn
who has turned down a million dol-
lar legacy is a dead one, all right.
Whether or not self-determination
®f peoples is all right depends large-
ly upon how all-fired selfish the peo-
»te are in making their determina-
tion.
Perhaps one reason why the Ob-
Begon inaugural party is proving sq
Jnpulur among Americans is because
SBwtico City is not so dry as some of
tile deserts between Washington and
ttbat city.
Joseph P. Tumulty in announcing
that he intends to write a few books
about President Wilson evidently
has ribbed himself up to believe
that he can sell a volume to each
and every man who voted tb# dumo-
aratic ticket Nov. 2.
Secretary Baker in explaining the
Eases of conscientious objectors says
that "the principle on which they
have been considered is to remit so
much of the sentence as exceeds the
normal peace time penalty for the
offense charged." This makes the
status of their cases a sort of puz-
rle to the average observer. Unfor-
tunately there is no record of what,
the penalty is for objecting to being
drafted into the army in peace times. |
It is now up to the republican
campaign committee, which endeav-
ored early in the campaign to sell
Harding to the republican voters,
tc convince those voters that he is
worth the money bo that sufficient
funds may be collected to clear up
tie $1,500,000 deficit. Using tlx
game language that some of the en-
thusiastic money diggers employed
before Cox got on their trail, Ilard-
<■( was sold on credit.
PKCIJMNG A MILLION DOIJ.AK
LEGACY.
If any there were who thought no
*ew thrill could jolf their jaded Ken-
abilities they have had a rude
awakening. The awakening h li-
ne from one Charles Garland, or
Bay, Mass., who persists
la refusing to accept a legacy of one
tilllon dollars bequeathed to him by
to father. Young Garland's reason
thia princely legacy is
that he contends be can do no good
with the money. Elaborating his
ieason he adds:
"It is the man who gives food to
the hungry who does good, not the
dollars given in exchange for the food.
I would be happy to be the man if I
had the food to give, but I can hot
lend myself to handling the money
that la not mine, even though tUs
good that might be don* ia peesHtlg
great."
Recalling that the fcther of this
young man was a prominent club-
man and yachtsman ona ]a moved to
wonder under what influence the son
fell that bis views on the usefulness
of money should be so narrow. He
says ha woal$ rejoice if h« could give
bread to every one who needs it, but
refuses to handle the money with
which to buy bread for the relief of
the hungry and needy. Whencc
springs this new philosophy?
Let us take another view of tho
young man who calmly spurns a mil-
lion in real money because it ia not
his, according to hia point of vtww.
If we get his idea correctly, or rath-
er if we grasp what he thinks ha is
trying to say, he will not take that
which is not his, even to use it for
the succor of the needy and the hun-
gry. All right; let it go at that for
the present! Now perhaps Mr. Gar-
land will with as much cheery elo-
quence as he tells why ho- refuses
the million left from his father's es-
tate, tell us why, with a wife and
child, with no job and no fortune
which, as he views it, is "his," he ac-
cepts the bounty of his mother, who,
according to his public statement
provides his family with a maid and
keeps "his larder filled." His mothee
uses money which this cheerful idiot
rejects, with which to buy the food
that he and his wife and child eat,
yet he deems it wrong and in viola-
tion of the Lord's teachings to use
money with which to feed the hun-
rry..
It easily can be admitted that
there is altogether too much wor-
shipping of the dollar in this world,
but no sensible preacher ot tho gos-
pel can be found who will not admit
that he would balk at the task of
trying to convert a starving wreck
of humanity if he had a million dol-
lar fund available from which to
draw means to appease the physical
hunger of tho prospective convert.
If this erratic Gartand person Is sin-
cere and earnest in his desire to re-
lieve the needy, to lessen the woes
and Buffering of humanity and wants
to see how gloriously a million dol-
lars can be used to accomplish that
end and win the approval of Heaven
he would do well to accompany some
of the practical charity workers
about on their rounds. There Is not
the least doubt that he eould find
on a round with some of the Salva-
tion Army workers, or workers of
kindred organizations, cases so ap-
pealing in their woo, so eloquent in
overwhelming weight of suffering
that he would, if he is not already in
a straight-jacket, rea«h for that mil-
lion and begin scattering it where it
will do good to humanity.
When one's sense of righteousness
roaches tho stage at whieh Young
Garland has unbosomed himself of
bis ideas, then it is high time to sum-
mon an alienist and send the patient
to the psychopathic ward for obser-
vation and appoint some practical
men of sound business ideas to take
charge of his estate and administer
it in a way that will give some bene-
fit to mankind and relieve the owner
of any wrench to his soul by his hav-
ing to handle the Tile coin in reliev-
ing suffering.
Just another thought: If this
young person is not taken to a psy-
chopathic ward and planed w here ex-
pert alienists can watch him, there
is always the opportunity for him to
experience a change of view, and un-
der the provisions of hie father's be-
quest, the money is his and will be
at his command, should he care for
it. If he should take a notion to
have a fling in the Great White Way,
to give the lights along Broadway a
redder tinge, and to appease the ap-
petites of multitudnious and pulchrl-
tudinous chorus girls it will be his
privilege to do so, and none there
will be who can say him nay.
This is not tainted money, as Gar-
land admits that it comes down from
his honored and straight-laced
grandfather, who founded the great
fortune. He just cannot see that it
f
Is hia, but he" can eat the gift bread
of hia mother and let hia wife! and
child eat It, while he holds worldwide

alted Grand Gyaaticutua of the In-

problema both easy and pleasant.
THE REGENERATION O* MEXICO
That open letter circulated,
throughout Mexico bearing the
names of nine of the meet prominent
rofugeea from that country now so-
journing in tho United States makes
an analysis of the problems with
which their country is confronted.
In this list of proMema fifteen, dcM-
ed as major problems, are mention-
ed Among these major problema ia
that of illiteracy. If the former cab-
inet officers, commanders, govern-
ors and counsellors had stopped
when they listed this problem they
would have covered tho one out-
standing problem, tc^whose solution
htoxico must bond its earnest atten-
tion. With this <3no problem solved
solution of the other fourteen will
follow.
greatest menace to the progress and
stability of the Mexican government
and there is no doubt that it is and
if illiteracy'is overcome the govern-
ment of Mexico will have achieved
the happy solution of ninety-nine per
cent of Its problems, for with educa-
tion of the masses of it« people the
other problems w ill be reduced to a
minimum.
The open letter contains several
suggestions for the reorganization
and stabilizing of the government,
all of which are of more or less
merit, but the attempt to carry into
execution all these suggestions in a
single program, will involve tre-
mendous expense and lead the gov-
ernment into various and trouble-
some complications, all of which can
be avoided through the education of
the people. Taking this view of the
great menace with which the new
government is confronted', as all of
its predecessors have been confront-
ed, it would be well for the Incoming
administration under Obregon to
consider the outlay of sufficient of
the public, funds to lay the founda-
tions of an educational system that
will embrace all the population and
instil the virtue of loyalty and patri-
otism among the masses. This ex-
penditure should be provided for
first and then, if it can be done, pro-
vision may be made for some of th»-
other problems mentioned in tho
open letter.
Education is the foe of anarchy,
revolution and disorder; it is the
handmaiden of enlightenment an>J
thrift. When the masses of the
great, republic of Mexico^are brought
under tho Influence of popular edu-
laatlon, the limitless resources of the
country will more easily and rapidly
be developed and riches in unmeaa.
ured millions will flow into the cof-
fers of the national treeenry with
which to pay debts, make Improve-
ments and advance the interests of
the republic in every way. The
open letter shows that the obliga-
tion# of tho national government of
Mexico to its own citizens and to the
citizens of foreign eountrits exceeds
91,000,000,900 and recommends that
provision be made for the payment
of this vast sum. As payment of
these obligations, most of which are
resultant from frequent revolutions
and bandit raids, will at best be pre-
carious until the people are more
generally educated it ia probable that
the creditors would make no serious
objection to the outlay of a sum
equal to these debts in the cause ef
education before a attempt is made
to pay them. If this is done the ul-
timate and satisfactory payment of
all obligations will be assured.
On the other hand; should there
be no adequate appropriation and
provision made for general educa-
tion and the establishment of a sys-
tem of public schools, there will al-
ways be danger of outbreaks, which
not only will interrupt the settle-
ment of claims, but will multiply
claims and increase the burdens aud
perplexities of the government.
So that the analysis made in the
open letter instead of covering fif-
teen major problems demanding so-
lution can best be condensed into
the recommendation that the single
problem of illiteracy first of all be
solved.
Mexico then indeed will ha\e made

Among the terms ot peace which
the Turks naturally disltke is the rec-
ognition of an independent Armenia,
for a time the allies authorized the
Greeks to carry on war against Mus-
tapha Kemal, hut the defeat of Veni-
zelos makes the nlliefr uncertain of
further (ireek aid, and they don't care
to enforce the treaty themselves, so
tho president is now Invited to "medi-
ate" between Kemal and the Armen-
ians. Ths allies have promised the
Armenians their independence and
Kemal is an insurgent. There is no
place for mediation; the duty of the
allies L<? to enforce the treaty, or, if
they do not dare dot that, tear un the
treaty and make one that the Turks
will like.
There i* no use In tsying to medi-
ate or arbitrate with the Turks. The
Turks will yield to force, and they
will yield pretty promptly if the force
displayed Is adequate. They give up
readily when they are convinced that
"kismet" is against them. From the
time of their surrender till' after- the
neace conference sent Dam ad Ferid
l'asha home they recognized that
delay in formulating peace terms
aroused thtlr hopes that it was not
against them. They are now bauk-
ing on tho reluctance of the allies to
fight them, and the probability that
Grewe wtil abandon its campaign
against Kt-mal. Under these circum-
stances th<» Turk Is cecity, and it is
quite useless to negotiants with Kemal.
The allies chh conquer him or accept
his p«k» tern us. The Turk never ne-
gotiates when he has tho upper hand,
lie will sue for mercy when ho Is sat-
isfied that the other fellow has the
upi»er hand. It would not require a
large force- or a long .ampaign to
convince Kemal that "kismet" is
against him. His resources are very
limited. He has been unable to stand
against the Greeks- alone. His- entire
stock in trade art present in tho obvi-
ous unwillingness of the allies to use
force against hhu.
But tho provision for an indepen-
dent Armenia is not the only item in
Ibe treaty of Sevres to which the
Turks object. They object to tho oc-
cupation of any part of Turkey by
Kngland, Francs' and Italy. Kemal
has ordered them cnit of the country,
and notified them that he will not
regotiate with, them tilt they go. Rng-
lend, France and Italy have got to
destroy Kemal or abandon their own
acquisitions in Turkey. Mediating
for Armenia is of no use. Kemal will
not compromise, but he will surren-
der if Fngland and France and Italy

The following from the Brady Sen-
tinel inteioeting:
"Joe and Jim Matthews were in
from their 'Peg I.eg' irrigated farm
near llext Monday aund in conversation
stated that they were just finishing
picking their cotton, only four bales
of which has been ginnml. The other
has been s'ored in the seed in their
Uirgo concrete born and will not be
rinned until market conditions are
better. It is pointed out by the Mat-
thews' boys that the storing of the
cotton in the seed greatly improves
the sample and the cotton is Just aa
< asily kept and may bo hanled to the
gin at leisure. The storing of seed
cotton has been urged by different
cotton organisations for some time
and it is believed that this wUl soon
be practiced by all farsighteu farm-
ers. One if the things pointed out is
that if the majority of the farmers
were to follow this practice there
would be no way of keeping tab on
how much cotton there was being
produced, and would put a crimp in
the cotton speculator, who is now
able to tell exactly the amount of
cotton being produced from the gin
