The overall fad seems to be spresd-
over all the country.
General Overalls may be the dark
horse the country la looking for.
Referring to the communication published in this is-
sue of the Telegram under the heading, "Letters to the
Editor," the Telegram wishes to go on record as being un-
alterably opposed to the organization of a new, or com-
petitive Cemetery Association, and we believe that we
voice the sentiment of at least ninety percent of the citi-
zens of Temple in this matter.
We know nothing of the truth of the charge that the
proposed new cemetery is to be launched as a business
proposition, for the purpose of earning profits for its or-
ganizers. We do know, however, that the present ceme-
tery is conducted on a commendable benevolent basis;
that the grounds are being nicely kept and beautified, and
that plans for still further gratifying improvements are
now under way. The present cemetery is a sacred and
hallowed spot to practically every citizen of Temple,
the remains of whose loved ones are resting there, and
any effort to divide the city's burying ground into two
competitive cemeteries will doubtless be met by vigorous
protests on the part of our older citizens, if not by all of
them.

If every knock is a boost and Vice
President Marshall keeps dealing
friendly blows at his job, everyone is
likely to remember who the vice
president was during the Wilson ad-
ministration.
Mr. Marshall has developed a strain
ef good humor with which to keep
the public jollied along and reminded
that he is still the big man in reserve.
It seems to be about all a vice presi-
dent Is permitted to develop.
Somebody should investigate the in-
vestigators. and it should be some-
body who has never held a political
office or torn his shirt in a political
election. It should be obsolutely in-
dependent of politics—uncorrupted
by partisanism. Too much money is
being wasted for a suspicious purpose
to permit the present state of affairs
to continue.
THE VKKD OF REVERENCE.
Does anybody remember the name
.of the politician who wag Investigating
Mexico « few months ago? It doesn't
matter, the necessity of our maintain-
ing- our neutrality in the* present
revolution just reminded us of him.
It is not the wanting of the moon
that brings distress to the ambitious;
it is wanting the whole universe.
Those who wish only .for the moon
these days have litt»e trouble getting
their wishes granted.
CAIIRANZA AND HIS TROOPS.
Many objections can be raised to
permitting Carrania to mobilize his
forces through American territory In
•rder make progress In an attack
•n the Sonora state troops, but the
feiost obvious is that the Sonora revolt
" Is strictly an internal affair for Mexieo
•nd this country cannot take the posi-
tion of aiding either side. Another
•bjection, almost as important, lg that
If the troops should be permitted to
•ross through New Mexico / and
Arizona, such action would offend the
Mexican "rebels all along the border,
•nd they would undertake reprisals
•gainst th<^United States.
It is quite probable that the Ameri-
can government will hold to its usual
pplicy and deny the request coming
from Mexico City. It would be a very-
great accommodation to Carranza if
we should permit him to shunt his
fighters along our railwayg to the
west—an accommodation, in fact, that
would be almost equal to a declara-
tion of war. against the state of Sonora
Itself.
Carransa, however, has never gone
out of his way to accommodate the
United States, and for that reason not
many people on this side of the border
will be willing to see the Carranzistas
pass through our territory only to
draw fire from the rebel ranks. That
is about all we could expect to get out
of utmost liberality with Carransa,
for he has never seemed inclined to go
out of his way to render the United
States * favor.
THE COST OF INVESTIGATIONS.
Inquiries into the conduct of the
war, forced on the country by the
republican congress, have already cost
the people of the United States over
$2,000,000. The end Is not yet in
■igh t.
No man in the world, least of all
• democrat, would object to tfie/ie in,-
Testlgations if he thought there were
any fraud, graft or ulterior activity
that ought 4o be aired but we do not
recall a single instance where any-
thing material has com© from theae
wasteful inquiries. There Is nothing
ot value to ahow for the $2,000,000
that has already been spent, though
ttoe%arm that may come from some
•f them is hard to estimate. The
sensational charges preferred by Ad-
miral Sims have fallen down; the
kearinga on the Mexican situation
constituted a fiasco; nobody yet
knows who was to blame for the air-
•raft producti r failure or where the
%ioney went.

At the present rate of speed it is
not surprising that there is a lack of
reverence in our lives. One doesn't
fall down on his knees to worship in
an automobile while going sixty mi'.es
an hour. He might strike his knees
to pray for deliverance from the im-
minent danger but his worship would
be spasmodic and not serene.
In the sixth chapter of Isaiah, the
seraph is described as a creature with
six wings; "With twain he covered
his face, with twain he covered his
feet and with twain he did fly."
We can claim kinship with the sera-
phim in the possession of the pair of
wings' with which to fly. We fly
through space In our planes. We are
continually riding on air, the «ir In
our automobile casings. We run
hither and thither from morning until
morning, doing this and doing that,
seeing this and grabbing all within
reach. Our very vocabulary reeks
with perspiration. "
But are we not gravely lacking In
those folded wings which betoken
reverence and awe? Perhaps our fly-
ing about would be of more service-
able results in the world If we had
reverence as the basis of our virtues.
Without reverence our lives are shal-
low and our pleasures flippant.
Reverence la that fear and respect
that supports lofe, and back of rev-
erence must be the recognition of the
majesty of manhood, the sublimity of
nature and the divinity of God. Rev-
erence or mutual respect sustains
friendship. When the sobriety of af-
fection is violated friendship loses its
hold, for those we do not respect we
despise, and those we despise we do
not love. The same principle applies
to love for God. John says: "For
he that loveih not his brother whom
he hath seen, how can he lovje God,
whom he hath not se^i?"
In our lives there must be a chapel
serene and untroubled where quiet
hours ot communion are held with
the object of our worship, and we
must worship. We Inquire about and
criticise most everything but if there
is to be any depth to our lives we
must adore something, there must be
a holy of holies. Our heart must
have a shrine where sacrifices are of-
fered, else life will be but a market
place or a carnal feast.

Linsey-wolsey was first made at
Linsey, and was for a long time a

Kerseymere takes its name from
the village of Kersey and the mere
close by it, in the county of Suffolk.
We have to thank Gaza, In Pales-
tine, the gates of which Samson car-
ried away, for gaza or gauze. Gasa
means "treasure." Voltaire, wishing
to describe some intellectual but
dressy woman, said: "She is an eagle
in a cage of gauze."
Muslin owes its name to Mossoul,
a fortified town In Turkey in Asia,
Tulle obtains its name from that of
a city in the south of France. Trav-
elers by rail in Brittany often glide
past Guingamp withopt remembering
that It was here that was first pro-
duced that useful fabric, gingham.
Damask derives its name from the
city of Damascus; calico from Calicut,
a town in India formerly celebrated
for Its cotton cloth, where also calico
was printed; cambric from Chambray,
a town In Flanders, where it was first
made, and tweed from a fabric worn
by fishermen upon the River Tweed,

Editor Alton is by no means boast
Ing when he makes the statement that
the Advocate is worth more to Bangs
than it costs, for when a newspaper
undertakes, as the Advocate has done
and is doing, to boost local enter
prises, lending its news and editorial
space to the promotion of the com
munity Interests it is calculated to
be worth more than it costs.
The newspaper is under contract to
Its subscribers to print the news and
to its advertisers to publish what they
pay for, but it is under no obliga
tion? except those self imposed and
sanctioned by • traditions of long
standing, to boost the community,
But be It said to the credit of the edl
tors of the country newspapers that
the vast majority of them are public
spirited and born boosters and al-
most without exception devote their
best efforts to helping along every
worthy enterprise.
